Following the release of its Q4 & Full-Year 2020 earnings last week, Red White & Bloom (CSE: RWB) (OTCQX: RWBYF) announced today the release of its first-quarter 2021 financial results. To access the Q1 2021 financial statements and MD&A, head over to the company’s SEDAR page here.
Commenting on the company’s Q1 earnings, RWB Chairman & CEO Brad Rogers stated:
RWB posted Q1 2021 adjusted sales of $32.7 million, up 14.5% over last quarter’s $28.6 million. The increase was reduced by the strengthening Canadian dollar and would have been about $1 million higher using a constant dollar comparison.
Q1 2021 revenue was $11.8 million compared to $15.7 million in Q4 2020. The decrease is primarily a result of the manner in which the company recognizes revenue under IFRS in the state of Michigan for its Platinum Vape (PV) branded product sales and a decrease of approximately $1 million due to the strengthening Canadian dollar over Q4 2020.

RWB utilizes a 3rd party licensee in Michigan; further to the licensing agreement, the revenue the Company can recognize is product sales less inventory purchases and direct expenses. As a result, the Company’s revenue in Michigan is always understated by inventory purchases made and direct expenses incurred during the period. In the first quarter of 2021, product sales in just Michigan increased by 18% from the prior quarter, and the Company significantly increased inventory purchases to secure sufficient inventory which reduced revenue as per the licensing agreement. This timing difference in revenue will continue until the Company becomes fully licensed in Michigan. Once the Company is licensed in Michigan, the Company will be able to recognize full product sales as revenue under IFRS. As such, investors are provided adjusted sales1 for additional insight into the results of the Company’s performance.
