Revenue grew 25% to $2.9M from $2.3M in the prior quarter, and from $1.3M in Q3’21. Revenue growth was driven by the growing demand in our premium distillate, extended product offerings, and expanding customer base.
Gross Margin Before Fair Value Adjustments was 52% of net revenue for the nine-month period ended August 31, 2022, compared with 60% in the comparative prior year period. The Company continued to realize production efficiencies to combat price compression in the wholesale distillate market as production and sales continued to ramp up. This was offset by an evolving product mix, which included the monetization of slower moving inventory.
Total general & administrative (“G&A”) expenses declined by 20% in Q3’22 compared to in Q3’21, driven by year-over-year reductions in corporate development, marketing, and share based compensation expenses. G&A decreased to 35% of revenue during the quarter, compared with 42% in Q2’22 and 100% in Q3’21.
Net income in Q3’22 was $2.5M which is a $1.3M decrease from Q3’21. The year-over-year decline is primarily driven by a decrease in the fair value change on the growth of biological assets, which was offset by an increase in revenue and reduction in G&A expenses.
Cash & Working Capital
As at August 31, 2022, the Company had working capital of $10.4M, which consisted of $1.2M of cash, $1.7M in receivables, $4.6M of inventory, $4.4M of biological assets, and $1.6M of current liabilities.
The Company was able to optimize processing techniques which lead to consistent production of high potency distilled oils and other extracts, while adding additional processing capacity. That improvement was a key contributor to the significant increase in the revenue from the prior fiscal year. Fiscal 2021 was the first year the Company established a commercial inventory for the sale of premium extracts and cannabis products. The Company intends to finish processing its remaining biomass and oils in inventory, and will look to accelerate processing of its third 2022 harvest.
