Aphria Inc. today reported its results, for the second quarter ended November 30, 2018, and the decision by its Chief Executive Officer, Vic Neufeld, and Co-founder Cole Cacciavillani, to transition out of their executive roles over the coming months. Mr. Neufeld and Mr. Cacciavillani will remain in their current roles until such time. The Key results for the quarter were:
92% increase in kilogram equivalents1 sold, reflecting partial period sales from the opening of the Canadian adult-use market, as well as continued sales of medical cannabis to existing and new patients
Adjusted gross margins of 47% of net revenue, compared to 64% in prior quarter, as expected, due to lower effective selling prices in adult-use market, as well as temporarily lowered yields and higher production costs related to facilities expansion and implementation of automation
Ended quarter with strong balance sheet and liquidity, including $152.1 million of cash and $32.7 million of liquid marketable securities, to fund announced Canadian and International growth and facilities expansion
Commenting on the quarter, Vic Neufeld stated, "This is the first quarter to partially include adult-use sales, helping to drive 63% quarter-over-quarter net revenue growth, as did continued strength in sales to the medical-use market. As expected, gross margins declined, reflecting lower effective selling prices in the adult-use market, as well as temporarily lower yields and higher production costs in the quarter as we moved aggressively to build out production facilities and implement new automation processes."

How Investing in the #Cannabis Sector is Changing; ( $ETII) ( $HIPH) ( $CRON) (TSX: $TRST.TO)
Piper Jaffray (NYSE: $PJC) Initiates Coverage on ( $TLRY) and ( $CGC)
Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - January 11, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at the trend of cannabis companies uplisting in U.S. markets.
As regulations change, such as the rescheduling of CBD and Hemp in the US, it is likely we will see and more and more smaller cannabis companies work towards uplisting to the OTCQB, NYSE and NASDAQ markets, making them more transparent to investors as well as reaping the benefits of opening themselves up to a larger investor base and gaining access to more capital.
Back in February of 2018, Cronos Group Inc. (TSX: CRON.TO) (NASDAQ:CRON) began to blaze the path in cannabis stock credibility by becoming the first cannabis company to be listed on the Nasdaq Global Market, as well as uplisting from the TSX-Venture to the TSX.
In their release, Mike Gorenstein, CEO of Cronos Group said, "This up-listing to NASDAQ is a major corporate milestone and reflects the significant progress we have made in strengthening our corporate governance and expanding our global footprint. We believe this will increase long term shareholder value by improving awareness, liquidity, and appeal to institutional investors."
Since then, cannabis companies both small and large have been looking to follow in their footsteps.
EnviroTechnologies International, Inc. (OTC:ETII) in a recent news release reported that it has commenced an audit to become a fully reporting company and transition to the OTCQB. The company's subsidiary, CBD Health Co. (www.cbdhealthco.com), a company that markets and sells high quality and proprietary hemp-based, natural CBD health products, has made inroads into the hemp-based pet supplement products market and further ambitions in the CBD market.
Gaylord Karren, ETI's President commented, "We have been transparent with our financial information but we have not to date committed to a formal audit, which we determined is the next logical step in our progression as a public company. We expect to complete our audit by the end of first quarter 2019, which will then allow us to move to the QB and expand our options in the public marketplace."
CannTrust Holdings Inc. (TSX: TRST.TO) (OTC:CNTTF), one of Canada's leading, most trusted licensed producers of cannabis and the 2018 Canadian Cannabis Awards "Top Licensed Producer of the Year", made a similar announcement recently that it has applied to list its common shares on the New York Stock Exchange.
In their release Peter Aceto, CEO of CannTrust said, "CannTrust has firmly established itself as one of the top licensed producers in Canada with a global platform rooted in trust, science and innovation. A listing on the NYSE is a natural step forward in our evolution as we look to broaden our investor base, increase the Company's exposure and expand our business on an international scale."
Many companies are also looking to broaden their investor reach in the Canadian markets as American Premium Water Corporation (OTC:HIPH), a company positioned in the growing CBD beverage market announced in December that it had engaged Canadian law firm Aird & Berlis with the intention to begin the process to list on a Canadian stock exchange. The Company's goal is to be listed in Canada by the end of the first half of 2019, as well as complete its audit and become fully reporting on the US OTCQB.
( $HIPH) LALPINA #CBD brand -liquid star of event hosted by Snoop Dog for retired #NFL player and Fox Business News contributor, Jack Brewer
In their news release, American Premium CEO and Interim Chairman Ryan Fishoff, commented "Today's announcement is the first step to expand the Company's reach into North American and the global investor market."
Fishoff, as much as he is moving in the direction of the future, knows the importance of also remembering the roots of the industry, with icons like Snoop Dog. He tweeted yesterday making note that his company's LALPINA CBD brand will be the liquid star of an event hosted by Snoop Dog for retired NFL player and Fox Business News contributor, Jack Brewer.
