_________________________

Hello Everyone,

We have a company back on our radar that we took a look at just few weeks ago.

We showed you this one when it was sitting around 1.70. It ran all the way to 2.10.

Why is this sector hot again after all these years?

As of August 2024, cannabis is now legal in 38 U.S. states for medical use and fully legal in 24 U.S. states. As more U.S. states and countries legalize the plant for both recreational and medicinal uses, investors are taking greater interest in adding companies in the growing space to their portfolios.

Federal prohibition has been a thorn in the side of cannabis companies, as federal law makes it significantly more expensive to run cannabis related businesses and forces these companies to be subject to much higher tax rates. ’ If federal rescheduling of cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III cannabis occurs, operators will have their tax rates reset to normal corporate tax rates adding cash to the bottom line. Rescheduling to Schedule III will still require FDA approval for any product containing cannabis to be sold but should ease research into therapeutic uses for cannabis. It is not yet clear that rescheduling will occur, but political and agency signals seem to be supportive of rescheduling. Until then cannabis remains a Schedule I substance.

Many people hope that rescheduling facilitates the sale of cannabis products that help them reduce stress, improve sleep, or manage pain.

Around nine-in-ten Americans say marijuana should be legal for medical or recreational use, according to a January 2024 Pew Research Center survey.

Pull up FLGC right away and start researching it now.

Flora Growth has been actively acquiring companies over the past few years in hopes of expanding its business both in the U.S. and globally.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-U.S. GAAP measures. A reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to non-U.S. GAAP financial measures has been provided in the section titled “About Non-GAAP Financial Measures”. Important disclosures regarding the use of non-U.S. GAAP supplemental financial measures are also included below.

About Non-U.S. GAAP Measures

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. We calculate EBITDA as total net income (loss) from continuing operations, plus (minus) income taxes (recovery), plus (minus) interest expense (income), plus depreciation and amortization. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus (minus) non-operating expense (income), plus share based compensation expense, plus asset impairment charges, plus (minus) unrealized loss (gain) from changes in fair value, plus charges related to the flow-through of inventory step-up on business combinations, plus other acquisition and transaction costs. Management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide meaningful and useful financial information as these measures demonstrate the operating performance of the business.

Management believes that this non-U.S. GAAP financial information is useful as a supplement to comparable U.S. GAAP financial information. Management reviews these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures on a regular basis and uses them, together with financial measures included in the Company’s financial statements, to evaluate and manage the performance of the Company’s operations. These measures should be evaluated in conjunction with the comparable U.S. GAAP financial numbers reported by the Company.

The reconciliation of the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, to net (loss) income from continuing operations, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and is presented in the table below:
