Alexander M. Salgado, CEO and co-founder of Veritas Farms, commented, “As we continue to emerge as one of the leading fully-integrated full spectrum industrial hemp extract companies in the country, this past fourth quarter’s results have been our best ever with large increases in total revenue, gross profits, and inventory levels, while at the same time, reducing our cost of goods, accounts payable, and total liabilities. When compared to our fourth quarter numbers from last year, our growth has been remarkable.
“This outstanding growth rate is not restricted to our year-over-year results. Compared to our previously reported quarterly period, Q3 2018, our total revenues more than doubled by 109% and gross profits jumped by over 645%.
“These accomplishments were the direct result of the hard work of our dedicated team and partners, along with significant new capital investments at our Colorado facility, the successful launch of our own Veritas Farms™ branded product line, and our targeted sales and marketing programs.”
Mr. Salgado concluded, “Following the signing of the 2018 United States Farm Bill in late December 2018 by President Trump that provided a federal legal framework for industrial hemp, we expect that our growth and expansion plans will continue to gain momentum throughout 2019 as more and more mainstream retailers, drug stores, and health care providers begin to sell and promote hemp extract products to their customers across the country.”
Veritas Farms expects to report audited full year 2018 results in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, to be filed on or before mid-April 2019.
