DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / May 16, 2023 / (via IBN) AmeriCann Inc. (OTCQB:ACAN) (the "Company"), a cannabis company that develops state-of-the-art cultivation, product manufacturing and distribution facilities, has released financial and operational results for its quarter ending March 2023.
"AmeriCann's financial discipline and strong business model have produced record profitability and cash flow," said CEO Tim Keogh. "We achieved the best consecutive four quarters of revenue and net income in our history."
Financial Overview
The Company accomplished five consecutive quarters of positive net income. Net income increased 257% and revenue increased approximately 12% for the quarter ended March 2023, relative to the quarter ended March 2022.
The increase in financial performance is attributable to greater revenue received from products produced and manufactured at Building 1, the Company's initial building at its Massachusetts Cannabis Center ("MCC") development in Freetown, Massachusetts.
Building 1 is a 30,000-square-foot cultivation greenhouse and processing facility that utilizes AmeriCann's proprietary "Cannopy" cultivation system. Building 1 is fully occupied by Bask Inc., an existing Massachusetts licensed vertically integrated cannabis operator.
AmeriCann receives base rent and a revenue participation fee of 15% of all gross monthly sales of cannabis, cannabis-infused products and non-cannabis products produced at the Massachusetts Cannabis Center. As operations commenced and accelerated at Building 1, AmeriCann established many milestones for its financial performance.
AmeriCann commenced operations at its Massachusetts Cannabis Center in 2019, and, since then, the Company has generated more quarterly revenue each quarter than for the same quarter of the prior year.
