The Company announced its limited endorsement of UFC welterweight fighter, Sasha Palatnikov, through its City Trees brand.
"This first month of our fiscal year was full of incredible opportunities for our company's growth," noted Company President & COO Andrew Glashow. "Oasis is buzzing with consistent local and tourist traffic, and our City Trees brand has maintained huge year-over-year sales increases each month for the last year. We're optimistic that our successes with City Trees and Oasis will enable us to grow our portfolio of brands significantly over the coming months."
Retail dispensary Oasis Cannabis achieved a 48.9% year-over-year increase in revenue with a 36.8% increase in the number of transactions and 8.8% increase in average ticket total. June results also represented an 86.1% increase in net revenue compared in June 2019. In a foot traffic survey conducted in June 2021, approximately 80% of Oasis customers were reported as local consumers, with 20% of traffic being attributed to out-of-state tourists. These results indicate an approximate 10% increase in the number of tourists visiting the dispensary as compared to June 2020 estimates. The retail storefront continues to be a mainstay among Las Vegas local consumers.
The Company's branded division, City Trees, continued to see monumental growth year-over-year. In June 2021, the division saw a monthly year-over-year revenue increase of 110.7%. In June 2021, the brand also announced its endorsement, to the extent permissible by Nevada law, of UFC welterweight fighter, Sasha Palatnikov, in the wake of the organization loosening its restriction on fighters' use of cannabis products. This endorsement has since been bolstered by the Nevada State Athletic Commission's July decision not to enforce restrictions on cannabis use by fighters. As market interest continues to increase for both the City Trees brand and the toll-processing capabilities of the Company's North Las Vegas extraction and conversion facility, CLS is continuing to pave the way for its future growth and execution of its business plan.
