Delta 9 Cannabis Inc (TSE:DN) (OTCQX:DLTNF) announced it anticipates first-quarter 2021 revenue of between C$12.9 million and $13.3 million, up from $11.8 million during the same period last year, as the company sold more cannabis in its retail operations.
Delta 9 also said it expects its total production costs to improve in the quarter to $0.75 per gram from $0.80 per gram in 4Q 2020.
“Our 1Q 2021 performance demonstrates another quarter of year-over-year growth. This quarter we continue to add additional retail stores across central Canada, expand our B2B business into the US market place and find efficiencies to lower our wholesale production cost per gram,” Delta 9 Cannabis CEO John Arbuthnot said in a statement.

“In 1Q, we have seen a degree of seasonality and relative Canadian cannabis market weakness affecting our business and impacting sequential revenue growth; however, we remain bullish that the remainder of 2021 looks to be a promising year for Delta 9,” Arbuthnot added.
