Management Commentary
Mark Adams, Jacksam's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We concluded a highly successful year with greater than 100% revenue growth, continued scalability of our operating infrastructure and the introduction of new products. We are pleased to have attracted two new institutional shareholders in early 2022 who recognize what we have and share in our vision going forward. Our business pipeline is robust from both existing and new customers, as we evaluate multi-millions in potential new opportunities spanning across 36 states."
Adams, continued, "Our strategy of generating more predictable recurring revenue has been progressing as expected with follow-on additional orders from our larger customers that have previously purchased our market-leading filling and capping solutions. Listening to our customers' needs and manufacturing bottlenecks has enabled us to develop world class solutions, such as our new IFX-100 automated pre-roll infusion machine. We plan to continue to both develop new solutions and partner with leading providers to become the premier solution provider in the industry."
Adams, concluded, "We believe we are still in the early innings of this high-growth emerging industry and are excited about entering our next growth phase of our business. Leading industry drivers are at our back expanding our market opportunity, led by additional states legalizing medical and/or recreational use of cannabis and the FDA certifying certain vape manufacturers via its Premarket Tobacco Product Application (PMTA) process. With these industry accelerators in place, increased attention has been placed on automation solutions to improve efficiencies and support the tremendous growth opportunity industry-wide. Our market leading filling and capping solutions continue to become the industry standard in the cannabis and CBD industry. We are proud of our positive business momentum and look forward to updating the market and our shareholders with our progress on both our business and capital market initiatives over the next few months."
