Lifeist Wellness (LFST) released its Q2 2022 financial results, noting a $0.8 million decrease in net revenue but an increase in gross profit.

The 15 per cent decrease was due to a $1.0 million decline in Australian Vaporizer hardware revenue caused by a flood-related operational shutdown and a $0.6 million decline from the planned wind-down of hardware sales in Europe.

Despite the loss of two months of sales by Australian Vaporizers, gross profit before inventory adjustment increased to $0.7 million compared to $0.4 million in Q2 2021, with margins expanding to 16 per cent from 7 per cent.

Lifeist CEO, Meni Morim admitted that the Australian floods dampened what was otherwise a solid quarter for the company.

“While it’s been a difficult period for the broader cannabis industry, we’re generating measurable success and establishing a path to profitability for our recreational cannabis distribution platform. Meanwhile, while encountering industry-wide supply chain disruption challenges, our nutraceuticals business was still able to achieve the correct acquisition and retention metrics to enable profitable growth and I expect this execution in the coming quarters. As for Australian Vaporizers, following the effects of the devastating flood, the business re-opened its doors in May and generated sales operating metrics consistent with pre-shutdown levels, and that normally positive performance has continued into fiscal Q3 2022.”
