OrganiGram Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: OGI) has reported that in the second quarter, which ended on February 28, 2021, its net revenue had dropped compared to the corresponding period last year.
“Though Q2 2021 outcomes were braved by industry subtleties, COVID-19, and operating restrictions at our facility, we trust there are outstanding forecasts ahead for the business,” said Greg Engel, Chief Executive Officer of Organigram.
Key Monetary results for the second quarter
Q2 2021 net income reduced from Q2 2020 chiefly due to meaningfully lower wholesale income and a low average selling price in Q2 2021. However, the upper wholesale incomes during Q2 2020 were adaptable, chiefly sales to a single approved manufacturer.
Q2 2021 net income was also lesser due to missed sales openings, as certain workers tested positive for COVID-19, which caused a substantial number of facility staff to segregate.
The company could not fulfill specific requests for its products totaling roughly $7 million in Q2 2021 due to manufacturing and dispensation restraints.
Q2 2021 gross income reduced from Q2 2020 mainly due to comparable factors impacting net income.
The upper cost of sales in Q2 2021 was chiefly due to higher Q2 2021 catalog necessities, an upper cost of manufacture, and a duty connected to unabsorbed fixed overhead as a result of subordinate creation capacities in Q2 2021.
Q2 2021 gross margin was adverse compared to positive Q2 2020 gross margin primarily due to negative Q2 2021 gross margin before fair value changes to biological assets, inventories sold as well as net non-cash adverse fair value variations to organic possessions and catalogs sold in Q2 2021 versus affirmative changes in Q2 2020.
Q2 2021 adjusted gross margin was negatively equated to positive Q2 2020 gross margin chiefly due to lesser net income and value segment submissions encompassing a larger quantity of total income in Q2 2021.
