Vireo Welcomes Bruce Linton
Business Highlights
• Vireo generated revenue in seven states in the third quarter 2019: Minnesota, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Arizona, New Mexico, and Ohio.
• Third quarter revenue increased 62 percent year-over-year to $8.0 million, driven by increasing demand and patient counts across most markets, continued wholesale growth, and contributions from acquired entities in Arizona and New Mexico.
• Adjusted EBITDA decreased year-over-year from $0.2 million in 2018 to $(5.9) million in 2019, primarily due to gross margin compression and increased SG&A expenses.
• Vireo’s affiliate Ohio Medical Solutions was granted a Certificate of Operation by the Ohio Department of Commerce and became one of only five licensed processors operational in the State at that time.
• As of September 30, 2019, total current assets were $57.6 million, including cash on hand of $16.4 million.
