Entourage Health Corp. (formerly WeedMD Inc.) (TSX-V:ENTG) (OTCQX:ETRGF) (FSE:4WE) (“Entourage” or the “Company”), a Canadian producer and distributor of award-winning cannabis products and brands, announced today its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The Company recorded third quarter 2021 total revenue of $14.9 million, a 94% increase year-over-year, and net revenue of $10.8 million, up 71% from the prior year and reflecting higher direct-to-consumer and direct-to-patient sales. The Company will host a conference call to discuss its financial and business highlights today at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
“Our third quarter results reflect the advancements we are making in our business transformation as we focus on product quality and craftsmanship, while improving operational efficiencies throughout our organization. With a fourth consecutive quarter of record revenue growth in both adult-use and medical sales, our award-winning products are standing out in the marketplace,” said George Scorsis, Interim CEO and Executive Chair, Entourage. “Additionally, the closing of our CannTx Life Sciences acquisition complements the increasing demand for our products, allowing us to expand our product portfolio into premium markets for both flower and solventless products. CannTx will help elevate our current offerings across our distribution channels and drive further value as we introduce new, consistent quality-produced, craft-grade cannabis cultivars and products into the Canadian market.”

*Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and this data may not be comparable to data presented by other companies. Management defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to exclude interest, tax, and depreciation, stock compensation, fair value changes and other non-cash items, and non-recurring items. This data is furnished to provide additional information and does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. The Company uses this non-IFRS measure to provide shareholders and others with supplemental measures of its operating performance. The Company also believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties, frequently use this non-IFRS measure in the evaluation of companies, many of which present similar metrics when reporting their results. As other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than the Company, this metric may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We caution readers that Adjusted EBITDA should not be substituted for determining net loss as an indicator of operating results, or as a substitute for cash flows from operating and investing activities. See the Company’s management’s discussion and analysis for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2021 (the “Q3 MD&A”) for a detailed reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income / (Loss). The Company’s financial statements for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2021 and the Q3 MD&A are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com
“In Q3, we realized a reduction in SG&A and recognized inventory adjustments required to recalibrate our inventory. We have also seen improvements in our operating cash flow year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter as we continue to gain traction on our savings initiatives,” said Beth Carreon, CFO, Entourage. “With the addition of CannTx, we expect to deliver synergies, accelerate site optimization initiatives to drive further efficiencies in our production, and introduce higher-margin innovative product formats to support our objective of delivering profitable growth.”
