Flora Growth Corp. (NASDAQ: FLGC) (“Flora” or the “Company”), a consumer-packaged goods leader serving all 50 states with 15,000+ points of distribution around the world and a pharmaceutical distributor in 28 countries, today provided an update with respect to the purchase and sale agreement for the sale of its Colombian related subsidiaries and assets to a private company in consideration for C$0.8 million, entered into on July 5, 2023. The sale relates to all of Flora’s operations in Colombia, including its interest in (i) its 361-acre Cosechemos farm located in Giron, Colombia and its related processing facilities and inventory and (ii) all other assets relating to Flora Lab 2, Flora Lab 4 and Flora’s Colombian food and beverage and consumer products business (collectively, the “Colombian Assets”). The sale is expected to close by July 31, 2023. The Company intends to maintain a presence in Latin America through Just Brands’ distribution relationships.
“The divestiture of our Colombian Assets is part of our plan to concentrate on core business divisions. This being a prominent lifestyle brand in the United States and a player in international pharmaceutical distribution focused on therapeutics, starting with medical cannabis,” said Clifford Starke, Flora’s Chief Executive Officer.
“We have made several strategic changes to cut costs and streamline operations. These changes are projected to deliver annual cost reductions amounting to US$6.1 million in cumulative annual savings when taken together with the US$3.4 million in savings from the divestiture of the Colombian Assets,” said Dany Vaiman, Flora’s Chief Financial Officer.
Flora’s Business Outlook
The Company’s 2023 revenue guidance issued previously included certain estimates relating to the Colombian Assets. Management believes such guidance should no longer be relied upon and is in the process of reevaluating such guidance. The Company anticipates providing updated 2023 revenue guidance at the appropriate time.
Executive Change
Matthew Cohen, General Counsel, has resigned from the Company for personal reasons.
