CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--cbdMD, Inc. (NYSE American: YCBD, YCBD PR A), a leading cannabidiol (CBD) consumer brand, provided the following corporate message from Chairman Martin Sumichrast.
We are obviously living in unprecedented times with the COVID-19 pandemic. cbdMD has been taking proactive measures to protect its employees, like so many businesses in the world. From an economic perspective, cbdMD currently has over $14 million in cash and we have reduced, and in some cases eliminated, our variable spend in marketing, advertising and sponsorships and related costs. cbdMD has built a sizable inventory of finished goods over the past eight weeks, allowing us to continue fulfilling orders. We continue to see consistent online sales, which is approximately 70% of our total sales, and are fulfilling all orders as they are received. Brick and mortar retail stores, however, are expected to be impacted in the coming weeks. While we are all unsure how long we will be impacted by the pandemic and the severity of the impact, we at cbdMD feel that with the steps we are taking now, we have enough financial strength at this time to continue to operate for the foreseeable future.
All of us at cbdMD encourage our shareholders and customers to continue to follow the CDC guidelines as well as those of your particular state of residence and believe that our country will emerge even stronger from this challenge.
Thank you for your continued support.
