Acreage Holdings Posts Negative Gross Margins In Q1 2024
Canopy Growth (TSX: WEED) is about to take on a headache with its acquisition of Acreage Holdings (CSE: ACRG.A.U), whom this morning reported its first quarter 2024 financial results.
The multi state operator reported negative gross margins on consolidated revenue of $45.3 million for the quarter, with revenue declining 19% on a year over year basis due to market price compression. Gross profit was a negative $1.5 million, which Acreage blamed on a change in the way the firm conducts costing for inventory, which resulted in a $13.8 million charge.
Operating expenses during the quarter came in at $21.7 million, a decline of 15% from a year ago, which the company attributes to cost cutting measures.

“In the first quarter, we diligently focused on cash preservation, implementing cost-saving measures, and honing our business strategy. Our Northeastern footprint was a focal point with our entry into the New York adult-use wholesale market and the conversion of our third dispensary in Connecticut to a hybrid model serving both patients and consumers. Our priority remains on delivering high-quality and diversified offerings from our flagship brands to support anticipated growth in this region,” commented CEO Dennis Curran.
Acreage Holdings last traded at $0.34 on the CSE.
