Marijuana company Cronos Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON) reported a sharp increase in third-quarter revenues. It also recorded profit for the period, compared to a loss last year. The company’s stock gained modestly early Tuesday, following the announcement.
Total revenue rose sharply to CAD12.7 million during the quarter, mainly due to the launch of adult-use market in Canada and inclusion of the Redwood business.

During the quarter, 3,142 kg of products were sold in Canada, compared to 514 kg last year. The uptick was due to increased cannabis production and launch of the adult-use market in Canada.
