Management Commentary

“Grown Rogue grew substantially in 2021 driven by continued expansion in Michigan and Oregon. We started 2021 producing approximately 200 pounds of indoor whole flower/month and ended the year producing more than 1250 pounds/month. Our focus on building the premier craft flower company at scale is being realized in all aspects of our business particularly quality, yield, and costs per pound.” said Obie Strickler, CEO of Grown Rogue. “Despite 2021 being a difficult year for our peers, we grew aEBITDA ~800% year over year and achieved some of the highest margins in the industry, as a wholesaler in two very competitive markets. The company continues to gain market share in both Oregon and Michigan as our customers and retail partners value our quality, consistency, and service. Our recent soft launch of nitrogen sealed pre-rolls in Michigan has been well received and we are excited to push into additional product categories in 2022.”
