Week ended 10/13/2023

  • Debt accounted for 27% of trailing 8-week capital raises, down sharply due to the recent Compass Pathways equity transaction and lack of significant recent debt deals. We expect this ratio to remain lower than in recent history as companies use the more robust market to issue equity.

 

  • The Week’s Only Closed Debt Issue
  • There were no closed debt transactions this week.

Weekly Credit Tracker

Each week, Viridian highlights a specific industry sector and provides a deep dive into credit metrics and comparable company credit rankings for public companies operating in that sector.  Credit ratings are not currently available for public cannabis companies leaving companies, lenders, and investors with a gap of information. The Viridian Cannabis Credit Tracker fills this gap. The model uses 11 market and financial statement variables to discern 4 key credit factors: Liquidity, Leverage, Profitability, and Size, to provide credit/liquidity analysis for over 370 public Cannabis/Hemp companies.

This week’s credit tracker focuses on the 7 Canadian Cultivation & Retail sector companies with market caps between $50M and $500M in the Viridian Value Tracker database in order to make the case that Auxly had a good reason to sell assets, even at prices significantly below its cost:  The firm is over levered and needs to sell assets to reduce debt.  The Viridian Credit tracker ranking system shows Auxly near the bottom of the peer group in terms of credit quality.
