MINNEAPOLIS, March 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Goodness Growth Holdings, Inc. ("Goodness Growth" or the "Company") (CSE: GDNS; OTCQX: GDNSF), a physician-led, science-focused cannabis company and IP incubator, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2021. All currency figures referenced in this press release reflect U.S. dollar amounts.

"Our fourth quarter results reflected continued growth across most of our markets, but we continued to experience the negative impact of crop loss in Arizona we've previously discussed which occurred during the third quarter," said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Kyle Kingsley, M.D. "Wholesale sales in Arizona increased sequentially as compared to Q3, but the loss of biomass continued to impact gross margin performance. Revenue increased across the rest of our operating markets in Q4, and we're looking forward to contributions from flower sales beginning in Minnesota in Q1 and adult use sales in New Mexico in Q2."

"Smokeable flower sales began in Minnesota's medical market on March 1, and early indications suggest Minnesota flower sales will be our strongest driver of revenue growth until adult use sales commence in the State of New York. We continue to focus on the development of our new dispensaries in New York, as well as the construction of our new indoor cultivation facility, and expect these activities to continue through the closing of the previously-announced, pending transaction to be acquired by Verano Holdings Corp. Finally, given this pending transaction, we no longer intend to provide frequent updates of our future performance expectations, and as a result are withdrawing our previous outlook at this time."

Full Year 2021 Financial Summary

Total revenue of $54.4 million increased by 10.6 percent as compared to fiscal year 2020, including the Company's former subsidiaries in Pennsylvania and Ohio, and its former dispensary in Arizona. Excluding contributions from Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Arizona retail, full year revenue increased 30.8 percent. Retail revenue excluding Arizona and Pennsylvania increased 33.3 percent to $39.6 million in 2021 and reflected growth in each of the Company's retail markets. Wholesale revenue, excluding Pennsylvania and Ohio, increased by 21.3 percent to $9.7 million.

Gross profit was $19.8 million, or 36.4 percent of revenue, as compared to gross profit of $17.1 million or 34.8 percent of revenue in last year. The relative improvement in gross profit margin was driven by higher throughput and decreased fixed costs per unit across most markets, offset by increased costs and the previously disclosed impact of crop loss in Arizona due to weather during the third quarter.

Total operating expenses were $40.3 million, or roughly flat compared to $40.2 million in fiscal year 2020. Increases in salaries and wages, professional fees, general and administrative expenses, and amortization and depreciation expenses were offset by a reduction in share-based compensation as compared to the prior year. The increase in salaries and wages, and general and administrative expenses was driven by significant operational buildout across the Company's various operating markets, and the reduction in share-based compensation was driven by the non-recurrence of warrant vesting which occurred in fiscal year 2020.

Total other expenses were $9.1 million, compared to other income of $8.9 million during fiscal year 2020 which resulted primarily from the divestiture of the Company's former subsidiaries in Pennsylvania. The increase in other expense is primarily attributable to increased interest expense of $5.5 million in 2021 driven by the issuance of promissory notes, impairment charges of $5.2 million related to adjustments in the fair value of long-lived assets in Arizona and Nevada, and the non-recurrence of a gain on the sale of the Company's former subsidiaries in the state of Pennsylvania during the prior year, partially offset by a derivative loss in 2020 of $6.3 million.

EBITDA, as described in accompanying disclosures and footnotes, was a loss of $15.1 million, compared to a loss of $6.0 million in fiscal year 2020. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $9.1 million, as compared to a loss of $5.2 million in fiscal year 2020. Please refer to the Supplemental Information and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures at the end of this press release for additional information.

Net loss in 2021 was $33.7 million, compared to a loss of $22.9 million in fiscal year 2020. The variance compared to the prior year was driven by increased operating and other expenses and higher interest expenses, as well as the non-recurrence of the gain on disposition of assets in the prior year.

Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Summary

Total revenue in the fourth quarter was $13.7 million, an increase of 10.5 percent as compared to Q4 2020. Excluding contributions from Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Arizona retail, total revenue increased 23.8 percent. Retail revenue excluding Arizona and Pennsylvania increased 33.8 percent to $10.8 million in Q4 2021 and reflected growth in each of the Company's other retail markets. Wholesale revenue, excluding Pennsylvania and Ohio declined by 5.6 percent to $2.2 million, with the decline primarily driven by continued impact of crop loss in Arizona which occurred during the third quarter, partially offset by growth in New York and Maryland.

Gross profit was $2.2 million, or 15.8 percent of revenue, as compared to gross profit of $5.3 million or 42.7 percent of revenue in Q4 last year. The decline in gross profit margin was primarily driven by the impact of previously disclosed crop loss in Arizona due to weather which occurred during the third quarter and continued to impact Q4 results, as well as increased production and fixed costs related to improvements in flower quality in New York, and lower market pricing in Maryland.

Total operating expenses in the fourth quarter were $10.1 million, an increase of $2.6 million as compared to $7.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase in total expenses was attributable to increased general and administrative expenses driven by operational buildouts and dispensary openings across the Company's operational footprint as compared to the prior year quarter.

Total other expenses were $3.5 million during Q4 2021, compared to other income of $2.0 million in Q4 2020. The variance in other expenses was primarily attributable to increased interest expenses driven by the issuance of long-term debt and impairment charges related to adjustments in the fair value of long-lived assets in Arizona and Nevada, partially offset by a one-time gain on the disposal of assets of $6.5 million related to the sale of the Company's former dispensary and licenses in Arizona.

EBITDA, as described in accompanying disclosures and footnotes, was a loss of $5.9 million during Q4 2021, compared to a gain of $1.2 million in Q4 2020. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $4.4 million in Q4 2021, as compared to a gain of $0.1 million in Q4 2020. Please refer to the Supplemental Information and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures at the end of this press release for additional information.

Net loss in Q4 2021 was $12.7 million, as compared a loss of $2.3 million in Q4 2020. The variance compared to the prior year was driven by increased production costs, operating and other expenses, offset partially by the gain on the disposition of the Company's former dispensary in Arizona during the quarter.
