CEO Commentary

High Tide President and CEO Raj Gover said, “2021 was a very special year for our growth as we further extended and strengthened our bricks and mortar footprint as well as our online retail ecosystem as we rapidly grew our business across all three of the segments we operate in: THC, CBD and consumption accessories.

“Our continued growth in THC sales is especially impressive given the increasingly competitive Canadian retail landscape. With the launch of our innovative discount club model, which is the first of its kind in North America and is tailored to our Company’s retail ecosystem, we continue to rapidly gain Canadian retail market share.”

High Tide expects to generate revenue for the first Fiscal Quarter of 2022 in excess of C$70 million. To date, it would be the third-highest quarterly revenue by a Canadian cannabis company.
