WINNIPEG, Manitoba, May 06, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DELTA 9 CANNABIS INC. (TSX: DN) (OTCQX: DLTNF) (“Delta 9” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide guidance on select financial results for the first quarter of 2021 based on preliminary results:

• The Company anticipates revenue for the three-month period ending March 31, 2021 to be between $12.90 million and $13.25 million compared with;
  • $11.75 million for the first quarter of 2020.
  • $14.15 million for the fourth quarter of 2020.
    
• The Company anticipates direct cannabis production cost per gram of $0.60 and total cost per gram of $0.75 for the first quarter 2021, compared with $0.67 and $0.80 respectively for the fourth quarter of 2020.

• The Company anticipates total grams of cannabis produced of 2,178,181 for the first quarter of 2021, compared with 2,128,288 grams of cannabis for the fourth quarter 2020.

• The Company anticipates reporting total retail transactions processed of 210,138 for the first quarter of 2021, compared with 202,347 for the fourth quarter of 2020.
  

“Our Q1, 2021 performance demonstrates another quarter of year over year growth,” said John Arbuthnot, Co-founder and CEO of Delta 9. “This quarter we continue to add addition retail stores across central Canada, expand our B2B business into the US market place and find efficiencies to lower our wholesale production cost per gram. In Q1 we have seen a degree of seasonality and relative Canadian cannabis market weakness affecting our business and impacting sequential revenue growth; however, we remain bullish that the remainder of 2021 looks to be a promising year for Delta 9.”

Delta 9 will provide investors with a full breakdown on its progress in these areas as part of its first quarter results which will be released on May 17, 2021, before the market opens. This will be followed by a conference call the same morning, the details of which can be found at the end of this release.
