“We have been experiencing increased salesthrough both oure-commerce and retailsales channels,….. Top tier mass retailers are entering the market as several national grocery and drugstore brands have announced their CBD plans. The majority of these are now carrying Charlotte’s Web products. This is a significant development for the hemp CBD category. To effectively service projected growth, we have been building our executive leadership with experienced consumer-packaged goods (CPG) executivesin sales,marketing, finance, data and operations. Similarly, we are expanding our capabilities in cultivation, R&D, production and distribution.”

Some of the other highlight include:

  • Five leading national retailers such as CVS and Kroger are selling Charlotte’s Web products
  • Over 8,000 retail locations carrying Charlotte’s Web products today.
  • Launched new CBD gummies line and new pet line.

While growing at a marginal rate for a claimed growth sector, Charlotte’s Web’s earnings present a slight problem for other players within the CBD market across the US. Despite significant growth in its retail footprint, with total retail outlets now totaling 7871, the quarterly sales figures have not picked up at an equivalent pace. The firms retail footprint expanded by 32% over the quarter, while sales only increased 15% on a quarter over quarter basis. While we don’t expect sales to be instant, the delta between these two figures is of concern.

In addition to their footprint growth, the firm reported that it had entered several national retailers over the course of the quarter, as well as added several products to its sales mix. Yet, these efforts have yet to provide a significant increase in quarter over quarter sales.
