SNDL Continues To Post Operating Losses Despite Record Revenues In 2023

SNDL Inc (NASDAQ: SNDL) this morning reported record net revenue for 2023 of $909.0 million, a jump of 28% over 2022’s performance. Gross profit meanwhile came in at 21% of sales, or $190.4 million.

Despite the improvement, SNDL is still cash flow negative, with cash flow coming in at negative $84.5 million for the year. Positive free cash flow however is claimed to have occurred in the second half of the year, at $17.7 million.

“The generation of stabilized free cash flow continues to be a top priority for our team, and I am proud that we delivered on this stated objective during the last two quarters. This period was foundational as we acquired Valens, welcomed top-tier leaders and streamlined our balance sheet, positioning SNDL for improved performance in 2024 and beyond,” commented CEO Zach George.

SNDL posted an operating loss for full year 2023 of $162.8 million, while Adjusted EBITDA amounted to $29.2 million.

For the fourth quarter, SNDL posted revenue of $248.5 million, along with gross profit of $57.3 million. Despite the company stating it had free cash flow of $1.4 million in the fourth quarter, SNDL posted an operating loss of $84.9 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $3.5 million.
