Trulieve Posts Record Q3 Earnings, Beats the Street on Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA

Trulieve Sees Revenue Surge 150% to $70.7 Million

Trulieve Also Reported Net Income of $60.2 Million for the Third Quarter

Trulieve Cannabis (CSE: TRUL) (OTCQX: TCNNF) released earnings for the third quarter of 2019 today after the closing bell. The company reported its revenue increased 22% quarter over quarter and 150% over Q3 2018.

Analysts had projected Trulieve would report revenue of $64.6 million for the quarter which the company easily beat with total revenue for the third quarter coming in at $70.7 million. In the previous quarter, Trulieve reported revenue of $57.9 million.

Trulieve reported an increase in adjusted EBITDA which jumped from $31.6 million in Q2 2019 to $36.9 million in Q3 2019 blowing past the analyst forecast of $28.9 million for the third quarter.

Even more impressive, Trulieve was able to post net income of $60.2 million for the third quarter thanks in part to an $89.1 million gain from the growth of its biological assets as well as a $22.9 million adjustment from inventory sold. Despite these adjustments, the company would have still been able to report positive net income.

Due to another strong quarter of growth and fiscal responsibility, Trulieve has reaffirmed its full-year 2019 and long-term financial guidance.
