Curaleaf Sales and Profits Keep Growing in First Quarter; We View Shares As Undervalued

Analyst Note

| Kristoffer Inton |

Curaleaf’s first quarter looked fairly straightforward to us, as both top line and profits continued to grow. Total revenue grew 13% sequentially and 170% year over year to $260 million. Higher volume helped gross margin expand about 100 basis points sequentially and more than 600 basis points compared with the prior year quarter to 49%. Further, operating leverage on overhead costs helped drive adjusted EBITDA to $63 million, up 16% sequentially and 213% year over year.

We sell different types of products and services to both investment professionals and individual investors. These products and services are usually sold through license agreements or subscriptions.

We also respect individual opinions––they represent the unvarnished thinking of our people and exacting analysis of our research processes. Our authors can publish views that we may or may not agree with, but they show their work, distinguish facts from opinions, and make sure their analysis is clear and in no way misleading or deceptive.

To further protect the integrity of our editorial content, we keep a strict separation between our sales teams and authors to remove any pressure or influence on our analyses and research.
