High Tide reports Q1 EPS 1c. vs. (3c) last year

Reports Q1 revenue $178.3M, consensus $173.8M. Raj Grover, CEO, said, “We delivered another quarter of solid results, highlighted by record revenue, record gross profit, and positive free cash flow. Our innovative discount club model, built around customer loyalty, continues to be the backbone of our success. Cabana Club membership keeps growing rapidly, and our stores continue to outperform peers, while our core bricks-and-mortar segment achieved its fifth consecutive quarter of sequential gross margin improvement. Internationally, our German business is gaining strong momentum. The first full fiscal quarter following our acquisition of Remexian exceeded our expectations, and since quarter-end we have seen further improvements in both revenue and margins. As we begin to realize success in Germany, we are also exploring additional international opportunities, including the United Kingdom, where we are engaging with major industry participants with the goal of entering the market through a potential M&A transaction within the next 12 months.” Grover, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of High Tide (HITI)
