(CSE: GLOW) (OTCQB: GLWLF) (FSE: 9DO) (“Glow” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide a business update following strong revenue growth in Q1 2024, ending March 31, 2024.

“We are pleased to report strong Q1 results, achieving a significant step forward in revenue growth combined with a 70% gross margin is a remarkable accomplishment in a sector that often struggles to deliver sustainable, profitable growth,“ said Rob Carducci, CEO, Glow LifeTech. “2024 is shaping up to be a transformational year for Glow; with strong early traction from our recent cannabis brand launches in Canada, accelerating revenue growth, and a healthy, sustainable business model in place, we are primed for growth and have a clear path to sustained profitability.”
Recent Business Highlights
- New Product Launches: In Q1 2024, Glow launched 4 new cannabis products into the Ontario market, expanding its MOD™ drops and .decimal ™ capsules product ranges, more than doubling its available SKU portfolio to 7 SKUs total. In Q2 2024, the Company launched an additional 3 SKUs for a total of 10 SKUS available in Ontario, further bolstering its revenue generating activities.
- Growing Store Penetration: Retail distribution continues to accelerate in Ontario, achieving store penetration of ~100+ stores by Q1 2024 and quickly ramping up to ~500+ stores in Ontario to-date as a result of increased sales & marketing efforts. The Company is firmly focused on expanding store penetration in Ontario to solidify its winning position, and expanding to new provinces across Canada.
- Category-leadership: Glow’s innovative technology and differentiated products continue to build momentum in the market. MOD™drops have quickly risen to secure the #1 water-soluble drop brand in Ontario and notably has become the #3 brand in the broader Oils category as of June 2024 (based on OCS Wholesale data).
