CBDD hit the OTC in November 2018 and Microcapdaily reported on it at the time, stating in our article from November 16 “CBDD is a publicly traded company listed on OTC Markets and traded under the stock symbol CBDD.

Management credits a fast growing market for its success and first profitable year. According to CBD of Denver CEO Paul Gurney: “While our internal momentum continues to grow, the market itself is providing increasing tailwinds. Just this week, Swiss authorities greenlighted a recreational usage pilot in the city of Basel to begin over the summer. As this trend potentially spreads across Switzerland, and ultimately across Europe, CBD of Denver is ideally positioned to capitalize on the rapidly evolving opportunities,” added Gurney. “I want to thank our shareholders for their continued support. I firmly believe we are on a great trajectory and look forward to reporting on our ongoing successes.”
While fiscal year 2021 financial results were exceptional the Company was negatively impacted in Q1, 2022, due to the reintroduction of COVID controls across Europe and pricing pressure on CBD flower. These trends have already reversed, and the Company’s April revenue nearly surpassed the entire first quarter’s revenue as prices began to stabilize. CBD of Denver generated $908,086 revenue in the first three months of 2022, with a net loss of $314,248 mainly on an inventory write down of $102,856. CEO Paul Gurney said “On the surface, the numbers don’t tell the full story and should be viewed in context. While revenues at 3.5{b574a629d83ad7698d9c0ca2d3a10ad895e8e51aa97c347fc42e9508f0e4325d} margins don’t usually result in overall profitability, my mandate is to transform this business from a commodity trader into a higher-margin, multi-pronged, health and wellness powerhouse in Europe and Asia.”
