Cannabis stock news: GreenStar Biosciences' (CSE: GSTR) Cowlitz Reports Record Breaking Revenues of US$19.5 M for 2019

Vancouver, British Columbia - March 2, 2020 (Newsfile Corp.) (Investorideas.com Newswire) GreenStar Biosciences Corp. (CSE: GSTR) ("GreenStar" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that its tenant partner Cowlitz County Cannabis Cultivation Inc. ("Cowlitz") has generated over US$19.5 million in gross sales revenues for 2019.

"We are very pleased with the rate at which Cowlitz is growing. 2019 revenues represent a 33% increase over 2018," said Rahim Rajwani, Chair of the Strategic Advisory Board to GreenStar.

Newly appointed CEO Tom Baird added, "Cowlitz's strength in a highly competitive market is positive and provides the perfect base for GreenStar's plans to expand its footprint across the United States with similar best-in-class companies. 2019 has been a banner sales year for Cowlitz, with the company achieving record sales of over 2 million pre-rolls. In addition, their recent grow room additions should further increase operating margins and overall profitability for 2020."

Cowlitz operates in a mature yet growing Washington State market. In 2017 the cannabis sector generated US$1.486 billion in sales (per www.502data.com) and this figure is expected to grow to US$2.6 billion this year (source: New Frontier Data U.S. Cannabis Report 2019). GreenStar will continue to work with Cowlitz as it moves towards capturing a growing share of this market with new product offerings and increased dispensary penetration. GreenStar will also focus on other US states as it pursues its multi-state operator expansion plans. The US cannabis market as a whole is expected to hit US$31.7 billion by 2025 as announced by Grand View Research in July 2019.

The Company is focusing on expanding to other US states and capitalizing on a highly fragmented industry. GreenStar leverages battle-tested strategies and provides companies with the expertise and resources they need to expand sales, conquer their home markets and expand into new ones.
