Company

Company overview

Most of GrowGeneration’s revenue comes from supplies that commercial and home growers use to establish and run their growing operations, including cannabis and hemp cultivation and fruit and vegetable gardening. Nutrients, additives and growing media that customers replenish account for most gardening sales; lighting and environmental-control equipment serve facility build-outs. The company sells third-party products alongside its own brands, including Charcoir and Drip Hydro. Growers buy through its stores, commercial sales team and growgeneration.com, while retailers and resellers buy through its wholesale business.

A smaller business, Mobile Media, or MMI, sells customized shelving and mobile storage systems to businesses that need to save space. It also provides design, permitting and installation, earning revenue from the fixtures and related services.

Sales are not concentrated in a single customer, but demand depends partly on cannabis and hemp growers’ activity and cultivation licensing. Cannabis remains federally illegal even where state law permits it, so changes in licensing and enforcement can affect customers’ ability to operate and buy supplies. Certain pesticide products the company sells also require federal or state registration unless they qualify for an exemption.

GrowGeneration’s results depend chiefly on U.S. cannabis growers’ spending on replenishable supplies and facility equipment, and on the growth and margins of its own brands.

  • iPower, Inc. competes with GrowGeneration for growers’ spending on lighting, ventilation and other cultivation products, selling hydroponic equipment and gardening supplies online.

  • Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. depends on the same U.S. cannabis operators whose cultivation spending supports GrowGeneration: it collects rent on facilities leased to state-licensed operators, while GrowGeneration sells growers equipment and consumables. Its cannabis tenants’ financial health and facility investment are what to watch for clues to that customer group’s spending.
