Cantourage Group SE reported its financial results for the period from January 1 to August 30, 2024, revealing revenue of EUR 24.9 million ($27.5 million). This marks a 62% increase compared to the same period in 2023, when the company had EUR 15.4 million in revenue. Moreover, revenue for the first seven months of 2024 is higher than Cantourage’s total revenue for the full year 2023, which amounted to EUR 23.6 million.

“Our current business performance clearly shows that we took the right steps in preparation for the partial legalization of cannabis in Germany,” stated Cantourage’s CEO Philip Schetter, according to translation. “In addition to expanding our range of high-quality cannabis products from around the world, we were able to scale our production capacities and strengthen our partnerships with growers and pharmacies just in time. This now enables us to sustainably meet the expected increase in demand. We are confident that the medical cannabis market offers significant opportunities, both now and in the future.”

According to the report, the major drivers for the revenue growth include the continued expansion of its cannabis flower business in Germany and the UK, and also the advancement of its Telecan platform, which provides an online pathway for German medical marijuana patients to access cannabis treatments. The partial legalization of cannabis in Germany in April 2024 also contributed to this upward trend.

Our flexible business model is predestined to leverage the large market potential in Europe and generate further strong growth for our company.
