Revenue Decline: Jushi reported Q2 2023 revenue of $66.4 million, down 9% year-over-year and 5% sequentially, mainly due to store closures, exit from low-margin wholesale, and market compression.
Margin Expansion: Gross margin improved to 46% from 37% a year ago, driven by operational efficiencies, better yields, and greater sell-through of Jushi-branded products.
Cost Reductions: Operating expenses dropped by about 30% year-over-year thanks to streamlined labor, headcount reductions, and new cost-saving packaging.
EBITDA Improvement: Adjusted EBITDA reached $12.6 million, up $12.1 million year-over-year and $5 million from Q1, with a 19% margin surpassing internal targets.
Operational Initiatives: New store openings in Virginia, product launches, and upgrades at processing facilities are expected to drive future growth.
Cash Flow Focus: The company aims to achieve positive operating cash flow within the next few quarters; timing could fall in Q3, Q4, or Q1 2024 due to project-related lumpiness.
Debt & Asset Sales: Jushi is pursuing $5–10 million in proceeds from selling non-cash flow assets and closing a mortgage, with plans to reduce debt and focus on profitability.
Adult-Use Upside: Legislative momentum in Pennsylvania and Virginia could unlock significant future growth if adult-use cannabis is legalized.
