The company reported its pro forma revenue for the quarter amounted to $129 million. Q3 managed revenue increased 201% year over year and 33% over Q2 2019 coming in at $73.2 million.
Building off its strong revenue figures, Curaleaf was able to post Q3 adjusted EBITDA of $9 million, up 169% sequentially. The company cited the inflection point reached in several key states as the main driver behind its EBITDA growth.

Additional in Q3, Curaleaf announced the $875 million acquisition of the largest private U.S. multi-state operator (MSO) Grassroots.

During the third-quarter, Curaleaf also secured the approval of 3 final and 2 provisional recreational cannabis licenses in Massachusetts, closed the Glendale and Phyto acquisitions in Arizona and signed a sale-leaseback deal with Freehold Properties. The Freehold deal included 6 properties which generated the company net cash proceeds of over $24 million.
“Our increasing scale along with the incredible efforts of our team around the country who ensure our patients and customers have a superior experience helped drive the strong financial results we posted this quarter. We look forward to the closing and integration of the Select and Grassroots acquisitions which are expected to bring significant operational capacity to Curaleaf in key markets. We are focused on operating with excellence to meet the growing demand for our products and positioning the Company to create substantial shareholder value,” stated Curaleaf CEO Joseph Lusardi.
