Grown Rogue International Inc. GRIN GRUSF reported its first-quarter 2024 results on Thursday for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Grown Rogue noted the comparison period for 2023 is the three months ended April 30, 2023, due to the recent fiscal year-end change from Oct. 31 to Dec. 31.

"In addition, we achieved record indoor revenue in Michigan and Oregon during the quarter and are thrilled that an increasing number of customers in competitive markets are choosing our products which means we are continuing to bring them value.”
