With the consolidation in Canada, a number of small producers made important moves in March.
It has been well reported that Hexo Corp. purchased Newstrike Brands in an all-stock transaction. The deal adds some real gems to Hexo’s portfolio including cultivation campuses totaling more than 1.8 million square feet and an additional 150,000 kg of cannabis annually. Then, shortly after this agreement hit the wire, HEXO announced $13.4 million in net revenue and $16.2 million in gross revenue, which was a 144% increase from the previous quarter.
While Hexo aggressively is making moves to be a top operators, some of the smaller fish in the pond made some solid gains, and it is worthwhile to note as Hexo was once considered a smaller operator.
