ICNAF is a leader in the California market, and specifically in the pre-rolled space, with its award-winning \u201cGanja Gold\u201d brand, sold in hundreds of retail outlets.

Over the past 12 months, ICNAF has seen a significant increased demand for its pre-roll brands (Ganja Gold and Taylors) and the addition of automation equipment that has been sourced and developed to keep up with the demand requires a much larger physical manufacturing facility.<\/p>\n<p>November 10 &#8211; Ganja Gold has been recognized by LeafLink as Fastest Growing pre-rolls in the nation.

And that\u2019s a testament to the consumer demand for safe and legal product that we offer. The industry has a $2.9 billion run rate and continues to grow. We remain in a top four market share position closing in on the third spot and increasing the gap between number of ourselves and the number five and number six LPs\u2026. We\u2019ve been deliberate and selective in our launch of 2.0 products. We\u2019ve launched vape pens, our Hash products and they\u2019ve been overwhelming successes. Great quality reviews and we are number one in the Hash category. We continued to lead the way with Original Stash, including our 28 gram package format, which is a high quality consistent product priced to compete directly with the illicit market. This was an industry first and HEXO reset the Canadian market for dried flower as a result, many of our competitors scrambled to duplicate our efforts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c&#8230;While we strive for consistent positive EBITDA, we\u2019re also focused on learning from the past. It\u2019s not our intention to overpay for assets or overbuild our capacity. With today\u2019s announcement, we feel we\u2019ve put ourselves on a path towards positive earnings per share. Our capital-light global strategy to partner with Fortune 500 companies continues&#8230;We have a lot of work to do, but the good news is that our revenues are growing. Our yields and volume sold have improved. Our normalized gross margin is healthy, and our costs continue to come down. Our adjusted EBITDA loss improved materially in the fourth quarter.

We are therefore much more interested in our market share within premium and super premium categories, along with our market share of categories, such as vapor, pre-rolls and concentrates that are margin accretive compared to our market share in the deep discount flower business&#8230;our intention is to generate not just revenue but quality revenue, that will deliver a healthy gross profit dollar as opposed to essentially just a gross margin percentage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Aurora Cannabis (NYSE: ACB) Earnings Call Highlights: <\/strong><br \/>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=3C7I7MoBOHyFIQgQu764MaGHI0xmDDCkWsYfLzH7X6eWvkktZqfC26eaX8jwd6JAFGcFXDOHOLp0td0gsX_Fydyl4LYbOrwuRBJQwIIoh7A=\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n          <strong><br \/>\n            <u>https:\/\/bit.ly\/3lgMGWB<\/u><br \/>\n          <\/strong><br \/>\n        <\/a>\n      <\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Tilray, Inc.

In fact, we believe that the adoption curve in Germany is occurring at a faster pace compared to Canada during 2014 and 2015. Recently, we have seen a number of competitors either cease European operations or significantly reduced their presence there. We believe this will become a long-term strategic advantage for Tilray. The commitments we have made to the EU market with our Portugal GMP campus and regional leadership team based in Germany, position us well to continue to capture market share in Germany and more broadly in Europe&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Tilray, Inc.
