With a solid balance sheet, ongoing free cash flow, and access to relatively low-cost, non-dilutive capital, we are in a position of strength to continue generating growth and profitability for shareholders.”

Vext Science is a U.S.-based cannabinoid products company manufacturing THC cartridges, concentrates, edibles, accessories and hemp-based products.
