“I am pleased to report the continued improvement in our profitability as we aggressively execute our cost savings and optimization initiatives across our national footprint, driving a meaningful reduction in operating expenses year-over-year,” stated Jim Cacioppo, CEO, chairman, and founder of Jushi. “The significant enhancements we have made in our grower-processor facilities in Pennsylvania and Virginia have enabled us to operate more efficiently on a larger scale with increased capacity, resulting in expanded margins and wholesale revenue growth. Additionally, we have seen meaningful product quality improvements across our portfolio of brands. Jushi-branded product sell-through has remained steady across our vertical markets, representing nearly half of total retail sales. Sales are expected to increase with the Woodbridge, Virginia store opening and two Pennsylvania stores reopening as well as the launch of new, competitive, higher margin products, such as the anticipated introduction of our Hijinks brand in multiple states in the second half of the year.”
