Q1 2022 is LFTD Partners' seventh consecutive quarter of positive GAAP-basis earnings per share.
During Q1 2022, sales of products under Lifted Made's hemp-derived products brand Urb Finest Flowers made up 96% of Lifted Made's sales; sales of products under Lifted Made's non-hemp-derived psychedelics products brand Silly Shruum made up the other 4% of Lifted Made's sales.
Nicholas S. Warrender, Vice Chairman and COO of LFTD Partners, and founder and CEO of Lifted Made, said, "Our tremendous quarter-over-quarter growth in revenue and profitability during Q1 2022 reflects Lifted Made's talented team and diversified product portfolio, including our award-winning brand of hemp-derived cannabinoid products Urb Finest Flowers and our psychedelics brand Silly Shruum which successfully launched in January. We are well on our way toward achieving our 2022 revenue goal of $75 million or more."
William C. "Jake" Jacobs, CPA, President and CFO of LFTD Partners, said: "Our balance sheet is continuing to strengthen, driven by our healthy EBITDA margin, which was 23% in Q1 2022. For example, despite recently paying down millions of dollars in debts and taxes, and building up millions of dollars worth of inventory, our cash on hand currently exceeds $3.4 million. Nevertheless, Lifted Made's runaway sales growth has made it very difficult to keep enough raw materials, packaging and finished inventory in stock. Consequently, LFTD Partners is continuing to explore the possibility of raising $10-$15 million in the form of debt that would be used to pay off our remaining $2.75 million note payable to Nick Warrender, to purchase Lifted Made's headquarters building in Kenosha for $1.375 million, and to add millions of dollars to Lifted Made's working capital so that its sales are less likely to be held back by a lack of raw materials and finished inventory as has happened often during the past two years."
