Canadian Cannabis Company Aprhia Sees Profit in Q1
Aphria Inc., the Canadian cannabis company that has reportedly been in talks to receive an investment from tobacco giant Altria Group (MO), reported a first quarter profit of C$21.2 million, up from the C$15 million it reported in the same quarter last year.
In a news release, the company said its profit came to nine cents per diluted share compared with a profit of $0.10 per diluted share in the same quarter last year, when it had fewer shares outstanding. Aphria attributed its growth to investments in Liberty Health Sciences and Hiku Brands Co. Ltd., and an increase in fair value of biological assets caused by a production increase.
Although it has not confirmed or denied the rumors of Altria's investment, Aphria shares (traded on the Canadian TSE stock exchange) have been trading higher since the report and its profit announcement.
