Recent Developments
Management Commentary “Despite the seasonal weakness in the first quarter and a series of challenges including the loss of store hours due to Omicron, snowstorms, and the Pennsylvania distillate cartridges recall, I am pleased with our first quarter performance and the progress we have made in positioning our business for the long term,” said Jim Cacioppo, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman, and Founder of Jushi. “We remain focused on investing in our businesses, including building out our store base, significantly expanding our cultivation and processing facilities in both Pennsylvania and Virginia, scaling our wholesale channel in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, and integrating our two recently acquired businesses in Nevada. At the same time, we have taken decisive steps to manage our costs across all operating units and are encouraged by the initial results. I am confident that our investments into the business and the cost savings measures we have recently implemented position us to achieve accelerated growth and profitability through the balance of the year.” Jim Cacioppo concluded, "I am very encouraged by what we have accomplished to date and remain confident that we are creating one of the most robust and exciting platforms to capitalize on the growth in the U.S. cannabis industry. I am incredibly proud of our people and their contributions and look forward to scaling our operations in 2022 and beyond.” (1) See "Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures" at the end of this press release for more information regarding the Company’s use of non-IFRS financial measures. Financial Results for the First Quarter 2022 The following is a tabular summary and commentary of revenue, gross profit, adjusted gross profit, net income (loss), and net income (loss) per share for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, and March 31, 2021. ($ in millions, except per share amounts)
Adjusted gross profit(1) in Q1 2022 was $25.5 million, or 41.3% of revenue, compared to $26.4 million, or 40.0% of revenue, in Q4 2021. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by margin improvement in Pennsylvania, partially offset by an increase in promotional activity at retail in Illinois and Massachusetts and pricing compression in wholesale as the Company continues to build out its brands across state markets. Q1 2022 net loss was $14.3 million, or $0.08 per basic share and net loss of $0.08 per diluted share, compared to net income of $5.2 million, or $0.04 per basic share and net loss of $0.15 per diluted share, in Q4 2021. The net loss of $0.08 per diluted share in Q1 2022 was primarily due to the infrastructure and headcount investments that were completed in 2021 that are expected to have a transitional impact on our 2022 results. Adjusted EBITDA(1) in Q1 2022 was $1.1 million, a decrease of $0.4 million as compared to $1.5 million in Q4 2021 and a decrease of $3 million compared to the $4 million in Q1 2021. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA(1) on a sequential quarterly basis was driven by lower revenues and gross profit. Balance Sheet and Liquidity As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $76.2 million of cash and cash equivalents, including proceeds from the Offering closed in Q1 2022. The Company paid approximately $29 million in capital expenditures during Q1 2022, of which $10 million was paid for capital expenditures accrued at year end 2021. The Company expects to incur approximately $40 to $60 million of new cash capital expenditures for the full year 2022, subject to market conditions and regulatory changes. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $147 million in principal amount of total debt, excluding leases and property, plant, and equipment financing obligations. As of May 25, 2022, the Company’s Acquisition Facility had $60 million of available capacity, including the $25 million accordion feature. As of May 25, 2022, the Company’s issued and outstanding shares were 194,542,278 and its fully diluted shares outstanding were 281,438,589. Outlook Mr. Cacioppo commented, "Looking ahead to the remainder of the year, we expect to open an additional four dispensaries and continue to build-out the grow rooms in our Pennsylvania and Virginia grower-processor facilities, which will increase our margins and substantially grow our wholesale sales in 2022 and beyond." Mr. Cacioppo added, “We are modestly revising our fourth quarter 2022 annualized revenue to be between $340 to $380 million, and our 2022 annualized Adjusted EBITDA to be between $60 to $80 million on an IFRS basis. The slight reduction in revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance was driven by (1) weakening in the macro environment; (2) ongoing regulatory delays; and (3) supply chain issues. We want to be conservative in regard to our projected revenue ramp through the remainder of the year. By the end of 2022, we are targeting 50 retail licenses across seven markets, including 36 operating retail locations and approximately 330,000 sq. ft. of cultivation and processing capacity.” Mr. Cacioppo concluded, "We are putting in significant work, optimizing our resources, and making important investments where needed, to execute on our strategic initiatives and build out our business for long-term, sustained growth for our shareholders." The Company’s MD&A and consolidated financial statements for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022, will be filed in May.
