• The Company anticipates revenues for the three-month period ending March 31, 2020 to be between $11.3 million and $11.9 million compared with;

“We are anticipating a continuation of strong year-over-year and sequential results for the first quarter of this year,” said John Arbuthnot, CEO of Delta 9. “As the Canadian cannabis industry has faced challenges with many firms restructuring and downsizing, Delta 9 has stayed focused on its strategy of rolling out new retail stores, increasing our production capacity and sell-through rates into our provincial markets, and hitting critical milestones on projects in our business to business segment.”
