Q1 Record Revenues

Shares of Valens GroWorks are skyrocketing on the company delivering record revenues of $2.2 million for the first quarter of 2019, compared to nil the previous year. Gross profit in the quarter was also up to $850,525 or 38.3% of revenue. The company ended the quarter with a strong balance sheet made up of $20.6 million in cash and short-term investments.During the quarter, the company achieved significant milestone key among them being the addition of four new extraction partnerships with The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings and Organigram Inc. The company also increased its annual extraction capacity to 240,000kg of dried cannabis and hemp biomass.

“This initial momentum was driven by contracts signed late in 2018 to provide cannabis extraction services to leading licensed producers, including Canopy Growth and Harvest One. The growth in the size and frequency of shipments from these contracts increased throughout the quarter and into the second quarter of fiscal 2019,” said CEO Tyler Robson.

Buoyed by Q1 performance, Valens GroWorks is seeking to become a leader when it comes to cannabis extraction as well as post-processing and white label product development. Plans are already underway to increase extraction capacity at the Kelowna facility.

Cannabis Oil Production

Valens GroWorks has since secured an organic certification for cannabis oil production from proprietary CO2 and ethanol extraction processing methods. The company will now be able to produce certified cannabis oil from hemp and cannabis biomass.

"We expect to see increased demand for organic cannabis and hemp products in the future. With certified organic processes in place, Valens is now in a position to work with these cultivators to bring certified organic cannabis oil-based products to market, an achievement which demonstrates our commitment to supporting our current and future clients' needs,” explained Mr. Robson.

The certification comes on the heels of the company securing a multiyear extraction contract that will see it provide cannabis and hemp extraction services to Hexo Corp. Under the terms of the agreement, Valens GroWorks is to supply an annual minimum of 30,000kg of cannabis and hemp biomass expected to increase to 50,000kg in the second year.
