For the results, Columbia Care came up short, missing all of Canaccord’s estimates. Canaccord estimated that revenue for the quarter would be $148.6 million and gross margins would be $71.33 million. They write, “overall revenue progression for the period was negatively impacted by moderate macro-level headwinds in some of the company’s higher contribution markets.”
They say that management noted that three out of five of their top states had “headwinds,” with California’s total revenue being down 10% sequentially. In Colorado, they had a lower average daily spend at its retail dispensaries, and in Pennsylvania they saw lower wholesale pricing.
