Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED) saw its first-quarter revenue more than double to $15.8 million
SmallCapPower | August 16, 2017: Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED) Monday announced results for its first quarter ending June 30, 2017, with revenues more than doubling to $15.8 million as compared with $6.9 million in the prior-year quarter. The first quarter’s focus was on a major shift to a single platform to offer all customers access to all brands through a single online store. Launching the Tweed Main Street online store, which required moving individual Tweed, Mettrum and Bedrocan ecommerce sites offline and the migration of customers to a single new e-commerce platform, reduced sales activity over a period of ~10 business days in April, which partially impacted the revenues quarter.
