TILT Holdings Reports Third Quarter 2024 Results and Announces Strategic Review of its Plant-Touching Business
TILT Holdings reported Q3 2024 financial results and announced a strategic review of its plant-touching business. Revenue decreased to $27.0 million from $44.6 million year-over-year, primarily due to delays in Jupiter hardware business shipping and customer transition to commission structure. Gross profit fell to $3.8 million (14% margin) from $8.0 million (18% margin). Net loss widened to $12.6 million from $8.7 million. The company is evaluating strategic alternatives including potential divestitures and partnerships to focus on inhalation technology opportunities and strengthen its balance sheet.
TILT Holdings ha riportato i risultati finanziari del terzo trimestre del 2024 e ha annunciato una revisione strategica delle sue attività legate alle piante. I ricavi sono diminuiti a 27,0 milioni di dollari rispetto ai 44,6 milioni di dollari dello stesso periodo dell'anno precedente, principalmente a causa dei ritardi nelle spedizioni del settore hardware di Jupiter e della transizione dei clienti verso una struttura di commissioni. L'utile lordo è sceso a 3,8 milioni di dollari (margine del 14%) rispetto agli 8,0 milioni di dollari (margine del 18%). La perdita netta si è ampliata a 12,6 milioni di dollari rispetto agli 8,7 milioni di dollari. La società sta valutando alternative strategiche, comprese potenziali cessioni e partnership, per concentrarsi sulle opportunità nel settore della tecnologia di inalazione e rafforzare il proprio bilancio.

TILT Holdings는 2024년 3분기 재무 결과를 발표하고 식물 관련 사업에 대한 전략적 검토를 발표했습니다. 매출은 작년 같은 기간의 4460만 달러에서 2700만 달러로 감소했으며, 이는 주피터 하드웨어 사업 배송 지연 및 고객의 커미션 구조로의 전환 때문입니다. 총 이익은 380만 달러 (14% 마진)로 떨어졌고, 이는 800만 달러 (18% 마진)에서 감소한 것입니다. 순손실은 1260만 달러로 확대되었으며, 이는 870만 달러에서 증가한 수치입니다. 회사는 흡입 기술 기회를 다루고 재무구조를 강화하기 위해 잠재적인 매각 및 파트너십을 포함한 전략적 대안을 평가하고 있습니다.

PHOENIX, Nov. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TILT Holdings Inc. (“TILT” or the “Company”) (Cboe CA: TILT) (OTCQB: TLLTF), a global provider of cannabis business solutions including inhalation technologies, cultivation, manufacturing, processing, brand development and retail, is reporting its financial and operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2024. TILT is also announcing that it is underway with a review of strategic alternatives for its plant-touching business.
All financial information is reported in U.S. dollars and prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) unless otherwise indicated.
“We are underway with a comprehensive strategic review of our plant-touching business,” announced TILT’s Chief Executive Officer Tim Conder. “This process allows us to evaluate a range of potential actions, including divestitures, partnerships, and other strategic alternatives, to align our portfolio better and focus on our opportunity in inhalation technology. We believe that these plant-touching assets hold significant potential value for other operators and could provide us with the additional capital needed to strengthen our balance sheet and expand Jupiter Research.”
“Further, we are also highlighting key management changes that will further support our long-term vision and strategic objectives. Ken Yuan has been an integral part of our team as Jupiter’s Chief Operating Officer since earlier this year. Ken has extensive operational and restructuring experience and is driving increased efficiency and focus across our organization. Additionally, we have brought on Khalid Al Naser as head of our commercial efforts for TILT. Khalid adds deep experience in the cannabis vaporization space, most recently as co-founder of Raw Garden, and we are confident that his leadership will be a true value add for TILT and our customers.”
Conder concluded, “During the third quarter, we worked through our new ‘asset-light’ model for Jupiter which we introduced in Q2. This model allows for a just-in-time production and shipping structure, which we expect should improve our working capital position. That said, we believe that by continuing to evolve Jupiter, and with this strategic review process completed, it will allow us to sharpen our focus, better align our resources, and build a robust portfolio of products that meets our customers’ evolving pricing and innovation needs.”
