The Public Cannabis Company Revenue Tracker, managed by New Cannabis Ventures, ranks the top revenue producing cannabis stocks that generate industry sales of more than US$5.0 million per quarter. This data-driven, fact-based tracker will continually update based on new financial filings so that readers can stay up to date. Companies must file with the SEC or SEDAR to be considered for inclusion. Please note that we raised the minimum quarterly revenue in May from US$2.5 million.
41 companies currently qualify for inclusion, with 26 filing in U.S dollars and 15 in the Canadian currency. Since our last report at the end of May, we have added Canadian retailer Fire & Flower (TSXV: FAF) (OTC: FFLWF). We expect to add more companies in the coming months. We are not able to include Elixinol Global (ASX: EXL) (OTC: ELLXF) and Greenlane (NASDAQ: GNLN), which would otherwise qualify but don’t break out their cannabis-related revenue.
In May, we began to include an additional item, “Adjusting Operating Income”, as we detailed in our newsletter. The calculation takes the reported operating income and adjusts it for any changes in the fair value of biological assets required under IFRS accounting. We believe that this adjustment improves comparability for the companies across IFRS and GAAP accounting. We note that often operating income can include one-time items like stock compensation, inventory write-downs or public listing expenses, and we recommend that readers understand how these non-cash items can impact quarterly financials.
One trend we have observed is that many of the companies are now providing pro forma revenue as well, which is an attempt to more accurately portray the operations by taking into account the results of closed and pending acquisitions as the multi-state operator (MSO) space rapidly consolidates. Our rankings include only actual reported revenue.
In June, there were no financial reports from companies that report in American dollars.
