TDR: Q1 2021 was a breakthrough quarter for Body and Mind. The company achieved several milestones, including registering its first positive Adj. EBITDA quarter and record quarterly top line revenue of $5.29 million The latter smashed the previous quarterly high of $2.17 million achieved in Q4 2020, and wasn’t far away from the $6.23 million total reported in the entire fiscal year of 2020.

The big increase in quarterly revenue was mainly due to the consolidation of revenue across business operations. Predominantly, this included the recognition of top line revenue from two months of the company’s Ohio and Long Beach dispensaries, which the company acquired majority control around the beginning of September. In their next reporting period (Q2 2021 and beyond), BaM will enjoy consolidated revenue in all three months, which should push top line revenues materially higher.

Although revenues from the company’s Arkansas dispensaries shall remain in the “managed” column for the next few quarters, eventually that should switch over. No timeline has been established for that occurrence.

TDR will have additional coverage as events warrant.
