POSaBIT

Cannabis fintech company POSaBIT Systems Corporation PBIT POSAF will host a conference call and live webcast on Tuesday, Aug. 27, 2024, at 4:30 pm Eastern Time to discuss the results of the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

The company wrapped up 2023 by filing its application to list the company's common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange, as it seeks to “expose POSaBIT to a larger market of investors in the US, Canada and abroad,” according to Ryan Hamlin, the company’s CEO and co-founder.

In 2023, POSaBIT achieved a combined 23% growth in its core payments and point-of-sale business, even though it faced challenges posed by several industry-wide payment disruptions, Hamlin said earlier this year.

The company faced ongoing “market challenges” with its payments business in early 2024. However, in June, Hamlin stated that these struggles are “now behind us,” with POSaBIT poised for long-term profitability and growth, driven by recurring cash inflows from licensing contracts, improved Adjusted Gross Profit margins and a restructured cost base aimed at boosting profitability.
