For the quarter, Organigram maintained being the 4th largest Canadian license producer with 7.5% of the adult-use market share, up from 7% last quarter. Haywood says that the acquisition of Laurentian will be immediately accretive and will help the company get its legs into the premium segment, which will help its top-line and improve its margins.
For the results, Organigram came in better than Haywood expected on revenue, gross profit, and adjusted EBITDA numbers. For revenue, Haywood expected Organigram to report $26.7 million with an adjusted gross profit of $4.3 million.
Haywood says that the beat primarily came from growth in the company’s Adult-Use segment while international sales also grew from $0 to $3.4 million.
Surprisingly for a Canadian Cannabis company, Haywood has actually increased its fiscal 2022 and 2023 estimates, based on its ability to increase its market share in Canada. While they expect Laurentian to immediately be accretive to their operations and expect more international optionality to come available.
