Net revenue increased by 38.9% over November 2019 and by 112% over November 2018. Gross margin for the Company increased from 46.3% in November 2019 to 54.3% in 2020. While tourism in Nevada remains stifled, retail division, Oasis Cannabis, and wholesale division, City Trees, have focused their efforts on catering to the local community and providing significant promotional pricing in response to their community’s challenged economic conditions. November also saw the highest Black Friday retail sales total for the Company, reaching $50,487. CLS’ branded division, City Trees, successfully launched its limited release concentrate product, made in collaboration with popular regional cultivator, State Flower.

“Our achievements in November wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication and great work of all members of our team,” said company president and COO Andrew Glashow. “We also operated one less day in November to allow our team to enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday with their families. We’re looking forward to a strong finish to 2020.”

Newly reported October 2020 figures released by industry analysts at BDS Analytics note that net revenue at Nevada dispensaries increased by 32% compared to October 2019. CLS substantially outpaced this statewide industry growth, increasing net revenue at its subsidiaries by over 74% for the same time period. Statewide trends also indicated a 27% increase in concentrate category sales in October 2020 compared to 2019. The growth of this category comes as welcome news as the Company continues to strategically expand its extraction and branded extracted division. As City Trees continues to expand its selection of high quality concentrate products, the brand continues to maintain its stronghold as the top-selling tincture brand in the state.
