Urban-gro re-hires staffers, posts first ever positive EBITDA

LAFAYETTE — Urban-gro Inc. (OTCQX: UGRO) reversed its revenue losses from last quarter and re-hired approximately 15% of its pre-COVID-19 workforce but continued to post net losses.

In its third quarter earnings report on Tuesday, the Lafayette engineering firm specializing in cannabis growhouses and indoor agriculture reported $8.4 million in revenues for the third quarter of 2020, compared to $4 million last quarter and $5.6 million in the same period last year.

However, it posted an EBITDA of $300,000 for the period after a cut to operating expenses. That marks the first time that the company has had a positive position before it factors in taxes and long-term equipment costs.
