Heritage Cannabis, a leading Canadian cannabis company, has announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and the year-end of 2023. The company reported impressive growth in gross margin, revenue, and market share, driven by its successful product launches, operational efficiencies, and strategic partnerships.
The company reported gross revenue of $11.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, a slight increase from $11.1 million in the same period of 2022. However, the company achieved a significant improvement in its gross margin, which increased by 628% to $3.1 million, compared to $0.4 million in Q4 2022.

The company also reported a net loss of $14.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, a decrease of 47% from $26.9 million in Q4 2022.

The company also said that it increased its market share in the vape and concentrate categories by 50%, ranking among the top 10 brands in Canada.
The company also reported a net loss of $19.9 million for the year-end of 2023, a decrease of 17% from $23.9 million in 2022.
