Unrivaled Brands Reports Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

SANTA ANA, Calif., Nov. 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Unrivaled Brands, Inc. (OTCQX: UNRV) ("Unrivaled" or the "Company"), a multi-state vertically integrated cannabis company with operations in California and Oregon, today reported its third quarter 2022 financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Financial Update

• During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company generated revenue from continuing operations of $10.76 million composed of retail revenue of $8.77 million and cultivation/distribution revenue of $2.00 million. This compared to revenue from continuing operations of $20.05 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, which included retail revenue of $7.24 million and cultivation/distribution revenue of $12.81 million. This was a decrease of $9.29 million or 46.3% in revenue from continuing operations.
• The Company’s gross loss from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $(0.06) million compared to a gross profit of $0.33 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, a decrease of $0.39 million or 119.5%.
• The merger with UMBRLA and the acquisitions of People's First Choice and SilverStreak Solutions in 2021 led to more operations with additional facilities, employees, and costs to support them. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were $13.24 million, compared to $12.03 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $1.21 million or 10.0%. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, amortization and depreciation expenses increased by $1.67 million and facilities related expenses, such as rent, utilities, repairs and maintenance, security, and insurance, increased by $2.33 million over third quarter of 2021. Those increases were partially offset by decreases in third quarter 2022 of the following items: taxes, licensing and permitting decreased by $0.51 million and stock compensation expenses decreased by $1.14 million.
• The Company realized an operating loss from continuing operations of $122.80 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $11.70 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $111.10 million or 949.5%. This increase was primarily attributable to a $107.97 million impairment of intangible assets and goodwill related to the UMBRLA, People’s, and SilverStreak acquisitions. As part of the Company’s strategic restructuring in fiscal year 2022, the Company terminated its third-party distribution operations in California and its retail and delivery operations at SilverStreak Sacramento, which resulted in a loss on disposal of assets of $1.53 million during the current period.
