Executive Commentary
“We reported another quarter of record revenues, which were up 65% year-over-year and 20% sequentially,” commented Nick Kovacevich, co-founder and CEO of Kush Bottles. “These results were driven by increased traction in sales of custom packaging and newly introduced products. Sales also benefited from stronger e-commerce activity, which increased our market penetration across the U.S. and Canada and enabled us to grow market share.”
Mr. Kovacevich continued, “During the second fiscal quarter we also continued to build out the Company’s infrastructure to support long term sustainable growth in the business. This included strengthening our Board of Directors with the appointment of Eric Baum and naming Edd Pratt as Vice President of Operations to improve operational efficiencies as we scale our business. We also made improvements to our supply chain, including increasing production volumes in the U.S. which led to decreased freight costs and improved margins.
We are very excited to enter the second half of the year with a significant cash balance and virtually no debt. In a rapidly growing industry challenged by a lack of access to capital, Kush Bottles is in a prime position to invest in growth both organically or through acquisitions.
