DENVER, July 18, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- United Cannabis Corporation (OTCQB: CNAB) (the “Company” or “United Cannabis”) today provided preliminary, unaudited figures on revenues for the first six months of 2019 and offers guidance for the year.
Revenues for the first six months of 2019 are expected to be $8.1 million, and approximately $30.5 for the year; the Company’s revenues for 2018 totaled $7.2 million. The increase in revenue is primarily attributed to the Company’s hemp operation, specifically its processing and testing services.
“Look for significant revenue growth from United Cannabis in the second half of 2019. Our Mead facility came online mid-June, and we just brought on a powerhouse Chief Marketing Officer in Clifton Lambreth, who hit the ground running a week ago,” commented Earnest Blackmon, United Cannabis’ Chief Executive Officer.
Blackmon went on to say, “In the past month alone, we secured two purchase agreements representing approximately $50 million in revenue, one for CBD isolate and one for crude CBD oil, and they only account for a fraction of our current capacity. And, we expect to launch comparable facilities in South Carolina, Tennessee and Illinois by year-end, with California, New York and Florida following in 2020.”
