U.S. cannabis operator Cresco Labs Inc. (CSE.CL) – a vertically integrated, multi-state operator and the number one U.S. wholesaler of branded cannabis products – has announced its financial results for the three months ending March 31, 2022.

All financial information presented in this release is reported in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and in U.S. dollars.

Charles Bachtell, Co-Founder and CEO of Cresco Labs, commented:

“Q1 was a solid quarter for the Cresco Labs team in a challenging environment for all consumer product categories. While our 10-state footprint saw a cumulative sequential contraction of 4.5%, we held or took market share in most of our states and outperformed the markets with our 2% decline. We understand that an emerging industry’s growth trajectory is rarely linear, especially a highly regulated industry with a fragmented state-by-state structure, conflicting federal and state laws, and the addition of general macro pressures. Notwithstanding, we continue to execute with a clear and focused strategy to obtain market leadership with a portfolio of cannabis brands consumers love and a plan to get them on as many shelves as possible. The strategy remains constant, and the Columbia Care acquisition announced in the quarter simply fits these stated priorities hand-in-glove. We are pairing the best consumer brands with a broad, deep and strategic footprint.”
