Charles Bachtell, co-founder and CEO of Cresco Labs, said the following in the earnings report.
“While Q2 continued to be about building, scaling and refining our operations in the largest and most important cannabis markets in the U.S., we are also beginning to see the fruits of our labor come to bear. We grew revenue in every single one of our U.S. markets sequentially by more than 30%, with the exception of Massachusetts, where adult use was halted for part of the quarter.”
Cresco Labs doesn’t include guidance in its current earnings report. This is likely due to the novel coronavirus. Many other companies are withholding outlooks during the pandemic.
