Marijuana Company of America Reports Q3 2022 Financial Results and Operational Highlights

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 29, 2022 / MARIJUANA COMPANY OF AMERICA INC. ("MCOA" or the "Company") (OTC PINK:MCOA), an innovative hemp and cannabis corporation, is pleased to announce today its financial results and other financial highlights for the third quarter and nine months ending September 30, 2022.

Regarding the Q3 results, Jesus Quintero CEO stated, "MCOA shareholders should be happy with the overall 34% decline in operating expenses and cash expenditures so far this year. This is due to our focus on efficiency and scaling back overhead. We are also pleased with the increase in our gross margins at 59%. We expect these positive trends to continue as we focus more on distribution of products through our subsidiary, cDistro. While other cannabis companies in our sector are struggling, we are aggressively pursuing M&A activity as there are numerous opportunities of distressed cannabis companies. We have also made significant progress in reducing our debt over the last month as critical step in our corporate restructuring."

• Total revenues were $142,394 for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022 as compared to $442,178 for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.
