Cannabis Co. Vireo Reports 2% YoY Revenue Growth, Secures $10M In Financing

Vireo Growth Inc., formerly known as Goodness Growth Holdings, VREO VREOF reported on Wednesday financial results for its third quarter ended Sept. 30, 2024.

"Our third quarter results reflect continued solid performance across our core markets, but as we discussed anticipating last quarter, year-over-year comparisons of financial performance are less significant now that we have passed the one-year anniversary of the launch of adult-use sales in Maryland," CEO Amber Shimpa said. "Our teams continue to focus on preparing for the launch of adult-use sales in Minnesota next year, and our recently announced $10.0 million financing commitment gives us additional flexibility to support this launch and continue executing our CREAM & Fire strategy."
