Blüm Holdings turns the corner after restructuring, posts 67% revenue growth in 2024

Published

on



Blüm Holdings (OTCQB: BLMH) announced its financial results for the year ended Dec. 31, 2024, marking the completion of a significant financial and operational transformation. The company reported earnings per share of $1.79 in 2024 versus a loss per share of $1.67 in 2023.

Blüm told investors that its revenue increased 67% to $12.9 million over last year’s $7.7 million. The growth was primarily driven by the successful integration of three Northern California retail stores, which contributed $7.7 million to revenue. That, however, was partially offset by the strategic divestment of noncore dispensaries. Income from operations was $5.3 million versus last year’s net loss of $18.8 million.

“Blüm’s 2024 performance is a testament to the disciplined execution of our financial, restructuring, litigation, and operational strategies,” CFO Patty Chan said. “By strategically divesting underperforming assets, deconsolidating Unrivaled Brands and Halladay Holding, and integrating key retail locations, we have significantly streamlined our operations.”

The company was able to record net income of $33.1 million, with $12.9 million attributable to “other income” and net income from continuing operations of $16.8 million. Net income from discontinued operations was logged as $16.2 million.

The company said it reduced its liabilities by 62% to $29.6 million in 2024, down from $77.8 million in 2023 and $125.3 million at the beginning of 2022, reflecting effective balance sheet management and successful restructuring strategies implemented during the tenure of the Adnant engagement.

“Over the past two years, we executed one of the most aggressive financial restructurings in the cannabis sector, transforming Blüm into a leaner, stronger, and more resilient company,” CEO Sabas Carrillo said. “We have positioned ourselves to capitalize on value-accretive opportunities that will drive shareholder returns and long-term success. It is important to note that we achieved these extraordinary results with only $1.97 million in new capital raised during this period.”

Carrillo added: “This underscores the strength of our execution and financial discipline. With our restructuring and reorganization completed, litigation resolved, and a more streamlined operational model, Blüm has transitioned from a defensive restructuring phase to a strategy focused on measured expansion and financial sustainability.”

Following its recent $900,000 capital raise, the company said it is considering acquisitions to pursue additional growth.

In February, Blüm settled with People’s California, ending over two and a half years of litigation brought by People’s California against Blüm Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiaries (and now debtors-in-possession in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings), Unrivaled Brands Inc. and Halladay Holding.

Blüm Holdings reports $3M loss in Q3 as subsidiary Unrivaled declares bankruptcy

Published

on


California-based Blüm Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: BLMH) reported a net loss of $3.3 million for its third quarter of the year, down year-over-year from the $23.8 million in net income the company reported for the same period in 2023.

A partial factor in Blüm’s troubles is the insolvency of its subsidiary, Unrivaled Brands, which filed a petition for Chapter 11 bankruptcy this week after “bitter activist litigation” forced its hand, according to a press release. The value of Unrivaled Brands stands at roughly $6 million, Blüm reported, but the subsidiary’s liabilities and debts are approximately $35 million. Unrivaled, which was formerly known as Terra Tech, rebranded about a year ago.

Blüm emphasized in its quarterly report that it “remains unaffected by this filing and will continue its operations as usual outside of the Chapter 11 proceedings.”

“As of the date of this filing, there is no order confirming a plan of reorganization, arrangement or liquidation that has been entered by a court or governmental authority,” Blüm stated in a release.

Despite that speed bump, Blüm has made significant strides in paying down debts and driving up revenue, though the net loss was a big change from the $23.4 million in net income it reported in the second quarter this year.

Quarterly revenue for Blüm reached $4.3 million, up 182% from $1.5 million for the same period last year and up 15% sequentially. That brought revenue for the calendar year to $9.9 million, up from $5.6 million year-over-year. Blüm said the growth was driven by “the consolidation of (three) Northern California stores and supported by growth in the Korova brand.”

Blüm also reported a 68% reduction in company debts, which fell to $9.2 million, since the start of 2024. The debt was partially taken care of by two rounds of layoffs during the quarter and “a targeted decrease in corporate overhead,” according to a release. The moves also helped cut expenses to $14.8 million from $30.3 million year-over-year.

In addition, Blüm said it initiated a new strategy to attract more shareholders and retail investors, and began “reinvigorating” its Korova brand, a key part of its Unrivaled portfolio.

Following the close of the quarter, on Nov. 5, Blüm sold two of its dispensaries in Oakland and San Leandro to VLPS LLC for “a combined $3.18 million through liability assumption.” The sale, Blüm said, would allow the company to “optimize its retail footprint and focus on high-performing locations.”

“The Northern California stores and the implementation of consistent operational practices have significantly strengthened our financial and operational foundation,” CFO Patty Chan said. “We are confident that these enhancements position us well for continued growth and profitability.”

As of Sept. 30, Blüm had $38.6 million in total assets, including $1 million in cash, against $66.1 million in total liabilities.
