$CANN Announces 2016 Second Quarter Results

General Cannabis’ total revenues in the first half of 2016 were $1,394,054, compared with $484,059 in the same period last year.  This represents a 188.0% increase.

General Cannabis reported a diluted loss per share of $0.09 in the second quarter ended June 30, 2016, an improvement of $0.22 per diluted share when compared to a loss of $0.31 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2015.

General Cannabis’ diluted loss per share in the first half of 2016 was $0.17, compared with a diluted loss per share of $0.38 in the same period last year, an improvement of $0.21 per share.

“We are encouraged by the distinct improvement in our revenues in the second quarter. During 2016, we have been focusing on developing our acquired businesses, as well as working on new initiatives.  Our service revenues continue to grow significantly, driven by strong growth in our Next Big Crop division and Chiefton,” said Robert Frichtel, CEO of General Cannabis.

“A number of factors worked in our favor in the second quarter, including strong consulting revenue and a sales lift in our apparel business in particular,” Mr. Frichtel said.

“We are pleased that a number of sales-driving initiatives put in place in recent months are beginning to gain traction. In the third quarter, we expect a significant increase in our General Cannabis Supply division and are well positioned across our operating divisions for additional organic growth through 2016.  We continue to refine our marketing skills and are preparing some new initiatives for the fall, and are actively exploring new regulated markets,” he added.
