Our sales volumes continue to increase on a quarterly basis and we’re expecting continued top-line growth during the second quarter and during the last half of the year. We reiterate our revenue guidance for 2019 of between $120 million and $170 million.
Rich Mohr, Chief Financial Officer of Charlotte’s Web
Charlotte’s Web expects revenues to grow substantially as it continues to build upon its product distribution network. The company reported that more than 6,000 retail locations are now selling its hemp products, 2,300 of which were added in the first quarter of 2019. Locations include four national retailers across 18 US states, one of which is selling all lines of products currently offered by Charlotte’s Web.
Topicals is currently the firms largest area of growth, with revenues increasing 466% in the product segment on a year over year basis. Human nutrition products and animal nutrition products grew by 67% and 79% over the same period respectively.
We are forecasting revenue to grow at a faster pace than operating expenses, particularly in the back half of the year.
Rich Mohr, Chief Financial Officer of Charlotte’s Web
The expansion to its distribution network is key for Charlotte’s Web, who posted little quarter over quarter growth in revenues. For the three month period ending December 31, the company posted revenues of US$21.455mm, which shows that the current quarter is relatively unchanged in sales despite the expanded distribution network and greater consumer awareness.
Overall, Charlotte’s Web posted a net profit of US$2.33mm, equating to earnings of $0.03 per share.
Charlotte’s Web closed todays session at $19.93, up $0.60, or 3.10% on the mid day news that it would be delisting from the Canadian Securities Exchange and uplisting to the TSX.
