Remington Smith's questions to Flora Growth Corp (FLGC) leadership • Q3 2024
Question
Remington Smith of Alliance Global Partners inquired about Flora Growth's primary near-term and long-term growth drivers, the recent softness in its German operations, the path to achieving mid-30% gross margins, and the EBITDA impact of recent investments.
Answer
CEO Clifford Starke identified U.S. beverages and the German Parallel Import (PI) business as key growth drivers. He explained that the German business model is being retooled for higher margins under a new leadership team. CFO Dany Vaiman added that higher-margin U.S. brands are currently offset by lower-margin German pharma distribution, but the PI business is expected to lift the consolidated margin over time. Starke confirmed that current investments in beverages and Germany are impacting near-term EBITDA with benefits expected in future quarters.
