Company Description
Planet 13 Holdings Inc. (OTCQX: PLNH) is a vertically integrated cannabis company with operations in the United States. According to its public disclosures, Planet 13 combines cultivation, production and dispensary activities across multiple states, and its shares trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol PLTH and on the OTCQX under the symbol PLNH. The company is associated with the medicinal and botanical manufacturing industry within the broader manufacturing sector.
Planet 13 highlights that it operates award-winning cultivation, production and dispensary operations across locations in Nevada, Illinois and Florida, and in several releases also references activities in California. The company has stated that it divested a non-core Orange County, California retail store and closed a cultivation facility in Coalinga, California as part of a plan to focus on its highest-performing markets. In its description, Planet 13 emphasizes that it operates dispensaries across Florida and has opened its first Illinois dispensary in Waukegan.
A distinctive feature repeatedly noted in Planet 13’s communications is that it is home to what it describes as the nation’s largest dispensary, located just off the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada. The company also reports the debut of its first consumption lounge in Las Vegas, called DAZED! These elements underline a focus on large-format retail and experiential cannabis environments alongside more traditional dispensary locations.
Planet 13 states that its mission is to build a recognizable global brand known for what it calls world-class dispensary operations and cannabis products. The company’s releases describe branded product lines such as HaHa Soft Chews (including Nano HaHa soft chews) and Dreamland Chocolates, which it characterizes as cannabis edibles and infused chocolate products. It has also announced an exclusive partnership to bring ONI-branded solventless hash rosin products to Florida under the “Private Stock – Powered by ONI Genetics” label, including all-in-one solventless hash rosin vapes and cold cure rosin.
In Florida, Planet 13 reports a growing footprint of medical cannabis dispensaries. Company news releases describe the opening of locations in communities such as DeLand and Pace, as well as other Florida markets like Orange Park and Edgewater. The company notes that it operates dispensaries across Florida and, in one release, states that it operates 33 dispensaries in the state and 37 locations nationwide. These locations are described as being situated along busy retail corridors or in downtown shopping districts, with an emphasis on accessibility and customer experience.
In Illinois, Planet 13 has announced the opening of its first dispensary in Waukegan, which it links to bringing cannabis retail experiences to the Chicago metropolitan area. In Nevada, beyond its flagship Las Vegas superstore and consumption lounge, the company references a cultivation platform that supports its retail operations and allows it to compete on price while maintaining what it describes as healthy economics.
From a financial reporting perspective, Planet 13 prepares its financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The company has released quarterly results detailing revenue, gross profit, net loss, and non-GAAP measures such as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. These metrics are presented as supplemental to GAAP results and are used by the company to discuss operating performance, cost structure, and margin trends.
Recent filings and press releases show that Planet 13 has been engaged in cost reduction and footprint optimization. The company has cited actions such as reducing selling, general and administrative expenses, taking impairment and inventory reserve charges, and exiting certain operations in California. Management commentary in earnings releases describes a focus on disciplined operations, improved margins, and cash flow generation, particularly in Nevada and Florida, which are identified as core markets.
Planet 13 has also reported on equity-based compensation activities. It announced the grant of restricted stock units (RSUs) to officers, directors and employees under a shareholder-approved equity compensation plan, with vesting in multiple tranches. These grants are reflected in its disclosures and are associated with share-based compensation expenses in its financial statements.
Regulatory and policy developments are another theme in Planet 13’s public communications. The company has issued commentary supporting efforts to reschedule cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III under the U.S. Controlled Substances Act, highlighting potential implications for taxation, banking access, and research. Planet 13 notes that licensed cannabis activity is legal in the states where it operates but remains illegal under U.S. federal law, a factor it identifies as affecting banking, tax treatment and regulatory constraints.
Planet 13’s U.S. reporting entity, Planet 13 Holdings Inc., is incorporated in Nevada and files reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Its Form 8-K filings list its jurisdiction of incorporation as Nevada and provide a Las Vegas, Nevada business location. The company does not list securities registered under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act, and its shares trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange and the OTCQX market rather than a major U.S. national securities exchange.
Through its combination of cultivation, production, branded products, and multi-state dispensary operations, Planet 13 positions itself as a vertically integrated cannabis operator with a focus on experiential retail, particularly in Las Vegas, and on expanding access to its products in Florida and Illinois. Its public disclosures emphasize brand-building, product development in edibles and concentrates, and ongoing adjustments to its operating footprint and cost base in response to market conditions and regulatory developments.
