As such, Planet 13’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).
During a quarter that is seasonally slower and marked by significantly less tourist traffic, Planet 13 was able to maintain a market share above 10% in the Las Vegas cannabis market. In addition to the competitive performance demonstrated by our SuperStore and neighborhood store, our brands grew 21% in a market that was down 5% in Q42
Larry Scheffler, Co-CEO of Planet 13
Similarly, while the California market was down sequentially in Q43, our Orange County store grew 7.2% in the quarter on the back of increased brand awareness.
“Over the last couple months, the Planet 13 team has been working hard to operationalize all of the exciting new assets we’ve acquired over the past year. We are making strong progress on our Florida roadmap working in dual tracks to bring cultivation and retail online,” commented Bob Groesbeck, Co-CEO of Planet 13. “In California, we closed the acquisition of Next Green Wave in March allowing us to become vertically integrated in the state and bring our award-winning brands to Planet 13’s California fans.”
