Revenue was $42.3 million compared to $42.4 million in the prior year period
Gross profit was $8.8 million (~20.8% of revenue), compared to $9.4 million (~22.1% of revenue) in the prior year period. The decrease in gross profit and gross margin was primarily due to price compression in the Massachusetts cannabis market, partially offset by an increase in gross profit and margin in the Company’s inhalation business driven primarily by lower costs of goods.
Net loss improved to ($4.9 million), compared to a net loss of ($11.6 million) in the prior year period. The improvement was primarily driven by an $8.4 million gain from the previously announced sale leaseback transaction for the Company’s Pennsylvania cultivation and manufacturing facility.
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was $(79) thousand in the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $1.5 million in the prior year period. The decrease was driven by lower gross profit, higher general and administrative expenses, and increased retail headcount in Massachusetts.

Guidance:
2023 Cash Flow and EBITDA: With the improved wholesale pricing which GHB maintains for the balance of the year, expects to have positive operating cashflow and positive adjusted EBITDA in Q2 and for each quarter the rest of the year.
Q2 2023 Outlook: Expect revenue to be between $38 million and $40 million; expect consolidated gross margin percent to be in the mid-40s; Adjusted EBITDA to exceed $5 million and operating cash flow to be similar to Q1 at ~$4 million
2023 Fiscal Year: Maintaining revenue guidance of $160 million for 2023 but are shifting sales between segments. As a result of the higher pricing in biomass wholesale, we are increasing our wholesale revenue projection to $100 million from $85 million. We are raising our projected average selling price per pound to $330 from $300 and expect it to increase from Q1 through the remainder of the year as the mix of flower produced during the year increases. We are reducing our CPG revenue guidance to $20 million from $25 million which takes into account our move to a direct distribution model to our owned stores, and results in a reduction in top line revenue as we previously sold CPG to our distributor who then sold to our stores. It also reflects the continued difficult retail landscape and our expectation that we will be dealing with significant retailer distress and high levels of account shipping holds during the year. In addition, we are reducing our retail revenue guidance to $40 million from $50 million because of the extremely competitive marketplace, heavy discounting and our new stores not meeting internal projections.
