released its financial and operating results for the first three month ended January 31, 2019. Grown Rogue is a multi-state cannabis company with licenses and operations in California, Michigan, and Oregon.
The company reported that for the first quarter of fiscal 2019, revenue rose to $834,309 or an increase of 388% over the same period last year.

This vastly improved revenue numbers are largely due to is indoor and outdoor flower production which took 55% of total sales. The rest came from sales of its concentrates (oil cartridges and extracts), pre-rolls, 3rd party products and a new edibles line launched in December of 2018.

- First quarter revenue grew 388% year-over-year to $834,309 and is expected to continue as the Company proceeds with its expansion plans in Oregon, California and Michigan.

“Our Fiscal 2019 Q1 represents the first full quarter for Grown Rogue as a public company and marks the Company’s 5thconsecutive quarter of revenue growth since launching first in the state of Oregon in late 2017,” said Obie Strickler, President and CEO of Grown Rogue. “To have gained this brand recognition and sales traction, in what is arguably the world’s most competitive legalized cannabis market, bodes very well for our expansion into California and particularly the newly legalized market in Michigan. We’ve grown very quickly from controlling just 3 licenses in one state a year ago to assets allowing us to have 22 licences in three states today.”
F2019 Q1 gross margin also saw it improve to $256,330, or 31% of revenues. This was a huge improvement from a negative gross margin of $314,205 for the same period last year. Adjustments to the fair market value of the company’s biological value during the same period in 2018 contributed to its poor showing.
