Insights

The opening of a new Canna Cabana store in Lucan, Ontario, represents High Tide's continued expansion in the Canadian cannabis retail market. This strategic location, situated between a university hub and a popular beach town, could potentially capture diverse customer segments. The company's focus on underserved areas and cottage country demonstrates a thoughtful growth strategy.

However, the impact on High Tide's overall financial performance is likely to be minimal in the short term. With this being the 183rd store, a single location's contribution to revenue is relatively small. The mention of competitors filing for bankruptcy protection suggests industry-wide challenges, which High Tide appears to be navigating successfully so far.

Investors should monitor the company's progress towards its 300-store goal and upcoming Q3 results for a clearer picture of High Tide's financial health and market position in the competitive cannabis retail landscape.

The opening of a new store, while positive for growth, is unlikely to have a significant immediate impact on High Tide's financials. More noteworthy is the mention of the upcoming Q3 filing, which will provide important insights into the company's overall performance and profitability.

The grant of 60,000 stock options to employees and management, balanced by 50,000 cancellations, suggests a neutral effect on dilution. The three-year expiration and two-year vesting period for these options align with standard practices for employee retention and long-term incentives.

Investors should focus on the upcoming Q3 results to assess High Tide's financial health, particularly in light of industry challenges mentioned. Key metrics to watch include revenue growth, margins and cash flow, especially given the company's ambitious expansion plans in a sector where some competitors are struggling financially.

CALGARY, AB, Sept. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - High Tide Inc. ("High Tide" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: HITI) (TSXV: HITI) (FSE: 2LYA), the high-impact, retail-forward enterprise built to deliver real-world value across every component of cannabis, announced today that its Canna Cabana retail cannabis store located at 389 Main Street, Lucan, Ontario will begin selling recreational cannabis products and consumption accessories for adult use tomorrow, September 6. This opening will mark High Tide's 183rd Canna Cabana branded retail cannabis location in Canada, the 69th in the province of Ontario, and will be the first licensed retail cannabis store to open in Lucan.

The store, roughly halfway between the major university and college hub of London, Ontario and the popular beach town of Grand Bend, is in Lucan, Ontario and nestled amongst the scenic farmlands of Southwestern Ontario. This organic Canna Cabana location will open in a brand-new and rapidly growing retail plaza, with anchor tenants that include a major provincial grocery chain, a Canadian discount retailer, and several quick-service restaurants.

"I am thrilled to announce the opening of our new Cabana in Lucan, Ontario. Expansion into Ontario's cottage country and other underserved areas has been a large focus for High Tide this year, as we have seen demand increase for our Cabana Club. While some of our competitors file for bankruptcy protection, our team has been charting a thoughtful path towards 300 Canna Cabana locations across Canada," said Raj Grover, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of High Tide.

"September is already off to a great start, with the successful launch of Canna Cabana's next-gen website and our upcoming third fiscal quarter filing. I am enthusiastic about the remainder of 2024 as we put the finishing touches on new organic store openings and other exciting projects in our pipeline, about which I hope to share more details soon," added Mr. Grover.
