GrowGeneration (GRWG) Updates Financial View for Q4 and 2021
Read MoreHide Full Article
GrowGeneration Corp. (GRWG - Free Report) has revised its financial guidance for the fourth quarter of 2021 and the full year. Management stated that GRWG delivered triple digit revenue growth in 2021 despite persistent challenges and an uncertain operating environment. The company suffered unforeseen pressures in fourth-quarter 2021, stemming from the slowdown in the hydroponics market.
Considering the above-mentioned factors, GrowGeneration now expects annual revenues between $420 million and $422 million, up from $193 million reported in 2020. Previously, GRWG provided revenue guidance for 2021 between $435 and $440 million.
Same-store sales for the full year are expected to grow 24.4%. GrowGeneration witnessed 63% same-store sales growth in 2020. Adjusted EBITDA for 2021 is expected between $31.5 million and $33.5 million, up from $19.2 million reported in 2020.
For the December quarter, GrowGeneration projects revenues in the band of $88-$90 million, higher than the prior-year quarter’s tally of $62 million. Same-store sales for the quarter are expected to decline 12.3% against 58% growth in the prior-year quarter. GRWG expects to incur an adjusted EBITDA loss of $2-$4 million for the October-December months.
In 2021, GrowGeneration added 24 new store locations, bringing the current tally to 62 stores across 13 states. GRWG is scheduled to open a sixth Oklahoma location in Ardmore in the first quarter of 2022.
Recently, GrowGeneration acquired all the assets of mobile shelving manufacturing and warehouse facility Mobile Media, Inc and MMI Agriculture for a combined cash and stock deal value of $9.4 million. The buyout supports GRWG’s focus on expanding its indoor vertical farming solutions, which will help drive revenues over the long term.
GrowGeneration is poised to deliver improved revenue and EBITDA growth in 2022, driven by its consistent focus on energies and investments in new greenfield stores, distribution capabilities, business technology, private and proprietary brands as well as integration of the e-commerce distribution channels.
