This is your marijuana money minute for the week ending October 11 from the New West Media in San Francisco. Wow, what a crazy week to see things blow up and more carnage in the cannabis industry.
Where to start?
MedMen announced it decided to terminate the deal with PharmaCann that had been valued at $684 million. MedMen said it wants to focus more on its California market and go deeper into its strengths. As a consolation prize, Medmen gets PharmaCann’s Illinois licenses as part of the termination fee. Of course, MedMen has been touting its proforma numbers with Pharmacann and so now those have to be dialed back.
Speaking of dialing back, HEXO Corp said that its previously projected revenues were a bit lofty. The company said it had to reduce its revenue estimates to a range of $46-$48 million for the year, significantly lower than the $400 million it said it would do in 2020. That stock got spanked hard.
The Green Organic Dutchman said that it was considering new financing to complete the construction of two of its facilities. The only problem with that is that on previous investment decks, TGOD claimed that their projects were fully funded. The company also says it has $50 million in cash. How much money d they possibly need if they are only weeks away from completion. The stock lost 40% of its value in 2 days.
More divorce news.
Aleafia said it was no longer going to buy cannabis from Aphria saying Aphria failed to meet its supply obligations. Aphria seemed to toss it off and said they would still achieve net positive income for this past quarter. To make things more awkward, Aphria owns a lot of Aleafia stock.
And then finally, two Russian nationals were arrested for campaign finance violations this week and it turns out that they had applied for marijuana licenses in Nevada. They didn’t get them because they were late by 2 months.
