“Just over a year ago, Grown Rogue doubled down on our business strategy of being the leading low cost, high quality cultivator by investing heavily in production, team, and systems,” said Obie Strickler, CEO of Grown Rogue. “These investments have resulted in efficiency metrics, like our 73% gross margins and 55% aEBITDA margins in Michigan, that are unmatched by public operators. I am very proud of our team and where our efficiency metrics are trending in both states, but especially Michigan. Michigan is one of the lowest priced wholesale flower states in the country so reporting industry leading metrics for both gross margin and aEBITDA margin, is encouraging. We believe our costs per pound will continue to move lower with additional economies of scale and expect to continue the trend of cost improvements in fiscal Q4 and in fiscal 2022.”
