Supply Interruption Impact

The Company faced unforeseen supply issues related to cannabis quality resulting in the temporary unavailability of two key products for three consecutive weeks, leading to a revenue shortfall vis à vis its internal sales forecast. Despite this challenge, the Company’s resilience and proactive measures mitigated the impact, with the products swiftly made available for sale within three weeks. Management was content with the response time as it confirmed that its operational structure provides resilience against significant revenue shocks.

Furthermore, the Company experiences a bi-annual phenomenon coinciding with each product launch cycle. As new products are introduced to the market, consumer interest naturally gravitates towards these latest offerings, temporarily dampening sales of existing products as customers eagerly embrace what’s new. This dynamic often results in a dip in sales during the initial month of a product launch cycle. However, historical data indicates that sales typically rebound to normal levels for certain products once the initial excitement subsides and customers return to their preferred choices.

Commitment to Fiscal Responsibility

In an industry fraught with fiscal challenges, The Good Shroom Co Inc. distinguishes itself by upholding its commitment to financial integrity. Recent reports by MJBIZ* have shed light on the concerning trend of Canadian LPs deferring excise tax payments, with a significant number of delinquent LPs owing substantial amounts. The Company, however, stands out as it remains up to date, having paid all excise taxes in full and on time. It is disconcerting that the government’s leniency towards non-compliant companies in providing payment plans for excise owed, which has led to an uneven playing field, disadvantages compliant entities like ours. The Canada Revenue Agency is not a bank and thus should not be providing payment plans for deliquint LP’s to compete with compliant ones. Nonetheless, our prudent management practices have enabled us to maintain profitability amidst an industry landscape marred by heavy losses and uncertainties.

CEO’s Statement

“We are excited about the future prospects, particularly in light of today’s positive financial results. Our strategic approach, underscored by a focus on one market at a time expansion and product innovation, continues to yield promising outcomes,” stated Eric Ronsse, Chief Executive Officer. He continued, “With the recent acceptance of new products to Quebec, we anticipate significant growth opportunities in this key market. The upcoming launches scheduled for the end of April, marking the end of Q3, and early May, the beginning of Q4, are poised to further solidify our position in Quebec. Quebec’s cannabis market size exceeding $600 million annually and expected growth signify ample opportunities for market share expansion. We are well-positioned to capitalize on this potential, inch by inch, with our upcoming launches and into the future. Moreover, our ongoing progress in Alberta, coupled with forthcoming innovations, reinforces our commitment to gaining market share and driving sustained growth. Additionally, we are happy to announce the launch of edible products in PEI, slated for release sometime in the summer. These strategic initiatives reflect our unwavering dedication to value creation for our stakeholders and our relentless pursuit of market leadership.”
