Adastra Holdings Announces 2021 Annual Financial Results and Corporate Update

• Generated record gross revenues of $5.6 million in 2021, representing 124% growth YOY
• Maintained a strong capital position with $28.8 million of assets, and $6.4 million of liabilities

LANGLEY, BC, May 4, 2022 /CNW/ – Adastra Holdings Ltd. (CSE: XTRX) (FRA: D2EP) (“Adastra” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has filed its consolidated financial statements and related management discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2021, both of which are available at www.sedar.com.

Michael Forbes, Chief Executive Officer of Adastra, commented, “2021 was a transformative year for Adastra. Having joined in May of 2021, I have seen considerable progress being made on many fronts – we acquired Phyto Extractions and PerceiveMD to vertically integrate our product reach; introduced several new, innovative cannabis products; entered new domestic markets; and created marketing and sales initiatives that have raised brand awareness among consumers and retailers. The team has worked diligently in restructuring and reducing costs giving us a solid foundation as we move forward.”

“Strategically, our focus remains on the following growth areas: medical product development and formulation; premium branded extraction products; dried flower products; drug formulation; sales force expansion; and global opportunities. One of the fastest growing cannabis product categories in both Canada and the U.S. is infused pre-rolls. We are excited to be launching these types of pre-rolls shortly. As we are succeeding with shatter SKU expansion, we plan to leverage our shelf space to sell to the provincial distributors and anticipate this category being a big contributor to our success.”

“Combined, our production rollout and market expansion strategies give us optimism for 2022 and beyond,” added Mr. Forbes. “We believe we have established a platform for profitable growth, with multiple revenue streams and differentiation in the marketplace. We look to leverage this momentum over the coming months to create sustainable value for our customers, partners and shareholders.”
