LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / March 13, 2024 / Planet 13 Holdings Inc.

"Amidst recent challenges, economic uncertainties, and ongoing pressure on cannabis prices, I am pleased to announce a strong quarter.

We were responsible for approximately 9% of Nevada's retail market share and boasted a top brands in each category, underscoring the resilience of our operations and brand appeal in Nevada," stated Larry Scheffler, Co-CEO of Planet 13.

"We recently took decisive actions to fortify our balance sheet and set the Company up for growth through our acquisition of VidaCann. With the potential for adult-use in Florida, we are now well positioned to capture the full benefit of this tremendous opportunity," commented Bob Groesbeck, Co-CEO of Planet 13.

Operating Results

All comparisons below are to the quarter ended December 31, 2022, unless otherwise noted

  • Net loss of $14.3 million as compared to a net loss of $49.2 million

Operating Results

All comparisons below are to the full year ended December 31, 2022, unless otherwise noted

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

There are financial measures included in this press release that are not in accordance with GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures and metrics presented by other publicly traded companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as supplemental to, and not a substitute for, our reported financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company includes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because it believes certain investors use these measures and metrics as a means of assessing financial performance. EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA before share-based compensation, the change in fair value of warrants and one-time non-recurring expenses.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods presented:
