Net sales were $34.7 million in Q2 2021, compared to $32.4 million in Q2 2020, an increase of $2.3 million, or 7.1%. As the Company continues to focus on core (non-nicotine) sales and higher-margin products, including Greenlane Brands, Q2 2021 net sales included negligible nicotine revenue compared to the prior year period.
Gross profit was $7.8 million, or 22.4% of net sales in Q2 2021, compared to $6.8 million, or 21.0% of net sales in Q2 2020. While merchandise margin increased by 2.3% and resulted in a $0.8 million or 7.4% increase in merchandise gross profit, the improvements were slightly offset by a $0.9 million increase in inventory adjustments and a $0.5 million increase in customs duties and fees.
Cash totaled $11.6 million as of June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, working capital was $36.4 million, compared to working capital of $54.2 million, as of December 31, 2020.

Net sales for our United States reporting segment increased $4.3 million, or 16.4%, to $30.7 million in Q2 2021, compared to approximately $26.4 million in the same period in 2020. Net Sales for our Canadian reporting segment decreased to approximately $1.4 million for Q2 2021 compared to approximately $3.5 million in the same period in 2020, primarily due to a decrease of $1.1 million in non-core revenue sales as a result of the Company’s strategic shift away from low-margin nicotine sales. Net sales for our European reporting segment remained flat at $2.6 million for Q2 2021, primarily due to the third-party website sales, which resulted in $0.4 million of additional net sales and a $0.2 million growth in B2B net sales, which offset a $0.6 million decrease in E-Commerce sales.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Greenlane discloses Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP performance measures, because management believes these metrics assist investors and analysts in assessing our overall operating performance and evaluating how well we are executing our business strategies. You should not consider Adjusted Net Loss or Adjusted EBITDA as alternatives to net loss, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as indicators of our operating performance. Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as an analytical tool. Some of these limitations are:
Because Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted EBITDA do not account for these items, these measures have material limitations as indicators of operating performance. Accordingly, management does not view Adjusted Net Loss or Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as substitutes for measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
