CHUC - Charlie's Holdings Inc. Announces Financial Results for 2019 Second Quarter and Year to Date
COSTA MESA, California, Aug. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Charlie's Holdings, Inc. (the "Company" or "Charlies") (OTC: CHUC), an industry leader in the premium e-cigarette and CBD products space, announced today that on August 14, 2019, it filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.
"This filing represents our first public quarterly financial disclosure since completing our share exchange with Charlie's Chalk Dust, LLC and the related financing on April 26, 2019. We are pleased to report that, following our transition to a public reporting company, we continue to achieve profitability and top line revenue growth from both our nicotine and CBD based products," said Brandon Stump, CEO of Charlie's. "We continue to be excited for our future and anticipate that we are now well positioned to achieve consolidated profits, as we have recognized certain non-recurring transaction related costs in our combined operating statement." Mr. Stump continued, "our CBD product line showed great success from our initial launch in June of this year, and we plan to further diversify this product line and continue to create products that our customers will enjoy."
Highlights from Second Quarter
- In June of 2019 we successfully launched our first line of CBD products through our related consolidated company, Don Polly, LLC. This launch allows us to now expand our business in both the nicotine-only e-cigarette vapor product line and hemp-derived, non-THC (less than 0.3%), CBD wellness products.
- Our CBD product launch included full spectrum CBD tinctures and topical products offered in a variety of flavors and strengths, as well as isolate CBD products in a line of CBD infused vapor products, all marketed under our Pachamama brand.
- The newly launched CBD products generated $1,022,000 in revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019.
- Both the Company's nicotine and CBD businesses were profitable for the three months ended June 30, 2019, generating combined revenues of $6,819,000.
- The Company continues to make key investments in personnel, products and processes while remaining profitable from operations.
Financial Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019
Consolidated revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019 increased $1,332,000, or 24%, to $6,819,000, as compared to $5,486,000 for prior year period due to an increase in revenue of (i) $289,000 in our nicotine-based products sold by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Charlie's Chalk Dust, LLC, (ii) $1,022,000 from sales of our CBD products sold through our related consolidated entity, Don Polly, LLC, which launched in June 2019, and (iii) $21,000 in sales from our legacy product, Bazi® All Natural Energy, which we intend to discontinue.
The Company had a consolidated net loss from operations of $3,211,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 due primarily to operating profits of $1,169,000 generated from sales of our nicotine-based and CBD products, offset by $4,381,000 attributable to non-recurring corporate and transaction related expenses incurred in connection with the share exchange with Charlie's Chalk Dust, LLC and related financing transaction which closed on April 26, 2019.
Financial Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019
Consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019 increased $2,548,000, or 23%, to $13,466,000, as compared to $10,919,000 for same prior year period due to an increase in revenue of (i) $1,504,000 in our nicotine based products sold by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Charlie's Chalk Dust, LLC, (ii) $1,022,000 from sales of our CBD products sold through our related consolidated entity, Don Polly, LLC, which launched in June 2019, and (iii) $21,000 in sales from our legacy product, Bazi® All Natural Energy, which we intend to discontinue.
The Company had a consolidated net loss from operations of $736,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 due, primarily, to operating profits of $3,644,000 generated from the sales of our nicotine-based and CBD products, offset by $4,381,00 attributable to non-recurring corporate and transaction related expenses incurred in connection with the share exchange with Charlie's Chalk Dust, LLC and the related financing completed on April 26, 2019.
