Jeppe Krog Rasmussen, CEO of DanCann Pharma, comments:
"I am delighted to provide an update on the progress and developments of DanCann Pharma during the first quarter of 2023. Q1-2023 has been another excellent quarter full of improvement to bring us further on our journey to help secure consistent, quality treatment for all patients and relatives.
Completing CannGros’ first successful repackaging in February was an outstanding achievement by the team to secure a swift transition to the new facilities in Ansager. Doing this quickly has been instrumental in ensuring uninterrupted operations and a continuous flow of medicine to those who rely on us.
Getting the CannGros sales office settled in Odense has also significantly highlighted our Company’s focus on democratizing medical cannabis as a viable treatment in Denmark by solidifying our commercial activities. A strong Q4-2022 has influenced our sales for Q1-2023. At the same time, these larger orders from our wholesalers represent a delicate balance from quarter to quarter, which is why the figures provide a slightly misleading picture of our business in Q1-2023, compared to Q4-2022. However, throughout Q2-2023, we have observed a stabilization in our order volume, aligning with our internal projections and estimates.
We are experiencing increased sales of our Bedrocan® product, but we have also had to address delivery difficulties from Holland. However, we are working diligently to rectify these issues and expect to get back on track in Q2-2023. Alongside our efforts to move our packaging and distribution facility, we will continue to enhance our cost-effectiveness and solidify our industry position.
Furthermore, we are working diligently to complete our validation batches from the facility (BP1), which initially encountered some minor circumstances resulting in a slight delay in our timeline. The issue lies in minor corrections to our product specifications, including minor adjustments to the profile.
It has been a strategic and fundamental decision to address these issues early on, as failure to do so may potentially lead to unfavorable circumstances upon release. Despite these challenges, we remain highly optimistic about achieving our final checkpoint in obtaining the release certificate.
Therefore, our previously estimated guidance to be ready and obtain our release certificate in May has been postponed to after the summer break out of respect for holidays and the authorities involved in the process, and thus expectedly in August.
We will continue to work passionately and diligently to deliver on our business goals and solidify our position as a leading industry brand."
