Target Group Inc. Reports 27% Revenue Decline and Net Loss Improvement in Q1 2025

Target Group Inc. reported a revenue of $1,400,439 for the three months ending March 31, 2025, a decrease of 27% from $1,919,931 in the same period of the previous year. The company's gross profit for the quarter was $770,827, down from $810,167 year-over-year. Operating expenses also saw a decline, totaling $617,253 compared to $699,013 in the prior year, primarily due to reduced advisory and consultancy fees, management services fees, and legal expenses. Despite these reductions, the company recorded a net loss of $108,213, an improvement from the net loss of $193,168 reported in the first quarter of 2024.

In terms of assets, Target Group's total assets decreased to $6,670,396 as of March 31, 2025, down from $7,573,533 at the end of 2024. Current assets fell significantly, primarily due to a reduction in cash and accounts receivable, which increased to $645,564 from $77,092. The company's liabilities also decreased, with total liabilities at $13,289,022 compared to $14,081,162 at the end of the previous fiscal year. However, the stockholders' deficiency widened to $6,618,626 from $6,507,629, reflecting the ongoing challenges in achieving profitability.

Strategically, Target Group has consolidated its joint venture with Thrive Cannabis, increasing its ownership in the joint venture company from 50% to 100% as of April 27, 2023. This consolidation allows Target Group to fully integrate the operations of the joint venture into its financial statements, which is expected to enhance operational efficiency and financial performance moving forward. The company continues to focus on expanding its cannabis production capabilities through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Canary Rx Inc., which operates a licensed facility in Ontario.

Operationally, Target Group has reported a working capital deficit of $9,928,112 and an accumulated deficit of $31,055,057 as of March 31, 2025. The company has indicated that its ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon generating sufficient cash flows from operations or obtaining additional financing. The company is actively seeking to improve its financial position through various strategic initiatives, including potential equity sales or debt issuance.

Looking ahead, Target Group remains focused on enhancing its market presence in the cannabis industry, both domestically and internationally. The company aims to leverage its recent consolidation of the joint venture and its established production capabilities to drive revenue growth. However, the management has acknowledged the need for additional working capital to sustain operations and is exploring various financing options to support its strategic objectives.
