Distillate volumes sold increased by 85% from the comparative period ending Q3’22 resulting in revenue growth of 30% to $8.9M from $6.9M despite market price compression in the price of distillate. Revenue growth was primarily driven by increased demand in distillate.

Gross Margin Before Fair Value Adjustments was 45.2% compared to 52.3% in the prior year period. The decline in gross margin is primarily attributed to a significant drop in the price of wholesale distillate. Cost of goods sold increased by 49% from the comparative period due to the significant increase in distillate volume produced and sold as noted above. The Company continues to work towards production efficiencies to combat price compression in the wholesale distillate market as production and sales continued to ramp up.

Total general & administrative (“G&A”) expenses declined by $137k or 4% from prior comparative period, driven by year-over-year reductions in consulting fees, management fees, insurance, marketing, share based compensation and repairs and maintenance expenses, which were partially offset by increases in depreciation, professional fees, research and development, salaries and regulatory fees. G&A decreased to 35% of revenue during the period, compared with 48% in the prior year.

Income (Loss) and comprehensive income (loss) in Q3’23 was $495k which is a $1.7M decrease from the prior year period income of $2.2M. The year-over-year decrease in income is primarily driven by an increase in changes in fair value of inventory sold of $1.1M, a reduction in income from other items relating to a one-time settlement of $258k and debt modification of $386k in the comparative period, and a decrease in the fair value change in biological asset adjustment of $388k.

Cash and Working Capital

As at August 31, 2023, the Company had working capital of $4,139,795 (November 30, 2022 – $3,683,558) which consisted of cash of $1,728,432 (November 30, 2022 - $1,810,639), receivables of $2,312,232 (November 30, 2022 - $1,906,820), prepaid expenses of $51,757 (November 30, 2022 - $3,885), inventory of $1,954,344 (November 30, 2022 - $5,766,418), Biological assets of $4,035,020 (November 30, 2022 - $Nil).
