[9:46] Organigram (OG.T) revenues take nosedive in Q2, bringing $66m loss
- Q2 2021 net revenue decreased from Q2 2020 primarily due to significantly lower wholesale revenue and a lower average selling price in Q2 2021. The higher wholesale revenues during Q2 2020 were opportunistic in nature, primarily sales to a single licensed producer.
- Q2 2021 net revenue was also lower due to missed sales opportunities, as certain employees tested positive for COVID-19 which resulted in a significant number of facility staff having to isolate.
- The Company was unable to fulfill certain demand for its products totaling approximately $7 million in Q2 2021 due to production and processing constraints.
- Q2 2021 revenue was also negatively impacted by certain provincial boards aiming to manage lower levels of inventory such as Alberta.
- Q2 2021 gross revenue decreased from Q2 2020 largely due to similar factors impacting net revenue described above.
- Higher cost of sales in Q2 2021 was primarily due to higher Q2 2021 inventory provisions, a higher cost of production, and a charge related to unabsorbed fixed overhead as a result of lower production volumes in Q2 2021.
