GrowGeneration Authorizes $10M Buyback, Narrows 4Q Loss

Dow Jones03-20 05:26

By Katherine Hamilton

 

GrowGeneration authorized a $10 million buyback and narrowed its fourth-quarter loss.

The hydroponics and garden store operator on Thursday posted a loss of $7.4 million, or 12 cents a share, in the quarter ended Dec. 31, compared with a loss of $23.3 million, or 39 cents a share, a year earlier.

Revenue rose 1% to $37.8 million. Analysts surveyed by FactSet forecast revenue of $40.0 million.

GrowGen had higher customer retention, which helped offset a decline in cultivation and gardening sales related to the closure of stores over the past two years.

The narrowed loss was primarily due to a $13.3 million reduction of operating expenses and reduced store operating costs.

In the new fiscal year, GrowGen expects revenue of $162 million to $168 million. The outlook assumes a softer first quarter for revenue given usual seasonality, with profitable second and third quarters.

Shares declined 4% to $1.05 in after-hours trading.
