KIRKLAND, Wash., Aug. 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  (OTC: PHOT) (“GrowLife” or the “Company”), one of the nation’s most recognized indoor cultivation product and service providers, today announced financial results for the period ending June 30, 2019 and provided an insight into the company’s position in the Management's Discussion and Analysis section of the filing.

The Company reported growth in its revenue over the last quarter, reporting $1.8M for the period ending June 30, 2020, an increase of 11% quarter-over-quarter. In addition to the revenue generated, the company also reported a $1M backlog of sales, scheduled to ship in the third quarter 2020, effectively starting the third quarter with a base of $1M in revenue.  Further, as a result of the cost reduction measures implemented in 2019, the company reported increased gross margins of 39.3%, up from 30.7% when compared to the same quarter in 2019 and a gross profit of $0.7M for the second quarter 2020. Finally, GrowLife reduced its operating expenses by $1.7M during the six months ending June 30, 2020 and reduced cashed used in operations by $1.2M, from $2.1M to $0.9M. 

“While others are pulling back due to the pandemic and other conditions, we are so happy to announce an up quarter where our revenue beat last quarter, we saw further increases in gross margins, and have an outstanding backlog of sales revenue,” said GrowLife CEO Marco Hegyi. “We continued to operate throughout the pandemic as an essential service, providing the equipment necessary for hemp farmers and cannabis operators to continue to plant during the pivotal spring season. Beginning in March, we saw a significant increase in demand for our EZ-CLONE commercial cloning units, one of our highest priced items with attritive margins. This demand resulted in us reporting a one-million-dollar backlog in sales, something extremely noteworthy. This is a key metric I want to highlight,. Even without it, we were able to report quarter-over-quarter growth, and year-over-year increased margins. This is really exciting and the fact that we are growing during these unprecedented times, speaks volumes to how we are positioned as a company.”
