Strategic Growth And Operational Achievements

The company continues to expand its market reach, having opened four new dispensaries and initiated adult-use sales in Maryland. This expansion, coupled with an 80% increase in Pennsylvania wholesale sales, drove the company's revenue growth.

Jason Wild, executive chair of TerrAscend, highlighted the company's strategic position and upcoming opportunities that could further enhance performance. "With legislative movements favoring adult use in Pennsylvania and potential DEA rescheduling, we are poised for significant advancements," he said.
