TORONTO and GLIL YAM, Israel, Aug. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- IM Cannabis Corp. (the "Company" or "IMC") (NASDAQ: IMCC) (CSE: IMCC), an international medical cannabis company, announced its financial results today for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024. All amounts are reported in Canadian dollars and compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2023, unless otherwise stated.
Q2 2024 Financial Highlights
Management Commentary
"The German market is not just poised to start delivering significant growth after the April 1st cannabis legalization, we can already see the impact the legalization has had on our German business. We were well positioned to take advantage of the growing market and delivered a 200% increase in sales in Q2," said Oren Shuster, Chief Executive Officer of IMC. "We are actively making sure that we are allotting the resources and support the German business needs to deliver further accelerated growth."
"Our revenue in Q2 increased by 12 vs Q2 2023. This growth was driven in part by the 200% Germany grew in Q2 vs Q1 2024. Our selling price per gram of dried flower also increased 21% vs Q2 2023 to $6.09 per gram. In addition, our operating expenses continued to decrease by 29% vs Q2 2023, as a result of last year's restructuring," commented Uri Birenberg, Chief Financial Officer of IMC. "Conversely, we cleared old raw material and accrued for slow moving stock for total of about $1.9 million which impacted our cost of sales, gross margin, and gross profit."

The Company will host a Zoom web conference call today at 9:00 a.m. ET to discuss the results, followed by a question-and-answer session for the investment community. Investors are invited to register by clicking here. All relevant information will be sent upon registration.

Q2 2024 Financial Results
Non-IFRS Measures
This press release makes reference to "Gross Margin" and "Adjusted EBITDA", which are financial measures that are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These measures are provided as complementary information to the Company's IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, these measures should neither be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS.
For an explanation of how management defines Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA, see the Company's management's discussion and analysis for the period ended June 30, 2024, available under the Company's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar.
We reconcile these non-IFRS financial measures to the most comparable IFRS measures as set out below.
