I'll now pass the call over to Larry Scheffler, Co-chairman and Co-CEO of Planet 13 Holdings. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for participating in our fourth quarter and full year call. I'll be discussing our performance in Nevada and California. Dennis will discuss our financial performance. Bob will provide an update on our growth initiatives and plans for 2023 later on the call. 2022 was a challenging year. Across the economy, consumers dealt with dual pressures of high inflation and rising interest rates that took money out of their pockets. We've seen the impact of this on the other cannabis companies that have already reported, as well as many companies that are focused on consumer discretionary spending. Turning to the impact on our individual states. In Nevada, the trends we've seen all year have started to stabilize with pricing compression slowing and Nevada state sales relatively flat from Q3 to Q4. We've also seen some of the more marginal dispensaries start to go out of business in Q4, reducing the risk for future competition and pricing pressure. We're optimistic that this is a sustaining change in the trend line, excuse me. Despite all of the new competition over the last couple of quarters, we've been able to maintain our share of Nevada sales at 8.5% for the quarter and 9% for the full year, in line with our long-term goals of between 8% and 10%. We expect this to continue to have some fluctuations quarter to quarter from Q2 and Q3 being traditionally stronger due to higher tourist traffic, but fully intend to continue to set this benchmark on our retail operations in the state. In Q4 in Nevada, we generated $14 million from the superstore, $2 million from curbside and delivery, $2 million from Medizin, $2 million from other Nevada wholesale and other. Total Nevada revenue was $20 million compared to 20.5 in Q3. For the full year, we generated $80.6 million from Nevada retail companies compared to $107.5 million in 2021. This decrease was caused by the material weakening of the consumer, at over 20% decline in equivalent per gram cannabis prices, as well as reduction in the number of California tourists in Las Vegas. On the wholesale side, we took advantage of the new doors opening in the state over the course of the year and our incredible product portfolio to grow wholesale by 26% year-over-year. This strength continues, with December and January being our two highest months ever, and February performing very well on a per-day basis. I'll call out specifically the increased sales of our Medizin flower brand, which has seen strong growth since the completion of our cultivation expansion in September of 2022. Through the fourth quarter and 2022, we continued to enhance our portfolio and brings top cannabis brands and products to the consumers. Per BB-BDSA, we grew Medizin to the number two flower brand in Q4, HaHa to the number five candy brand, Dreamland Chocolates to the number one chocolate brand, and TRENDI to the number three concentrate and number four vape brand in the state. This is an impressive performance for our house of brands and a testimony to our cultivation production and sales staff. Looking ahead in Nevada, we're optimistic that the trend we saw in the fourth quarter with the normalization around pricing is a sign of the bottom of the market. So far through Q1 2023, that appears to be the case with pricing and sale stabilizing. The obvious caveat is that's what happens with a wider macro environment. We've seen pressure on consumer wallets resulting in consumers trading down to lower cost options or shopping in bulk to receive more discounts. If inflation interest rates in the economy continue to take money out of consumer pockets, it could lead to further sales pressure. Turning to California. In Q4, we generated $4.9 million of revenue, which is a slight reduction as a result of typical seasonality, but a massive increase of 88% over the same period in 2021, mainly driven by the expansion of wholesale in California from our acquisition of Next Green Wave. The same can be seen looking at the full year. Through 2021, we generated $18.1 million compared to $5 million in 2021. Looking forward to California, our operations continue to mature and gain momentum. We are also continuing to expand distribution to our wholesale portfolio. We obviously don't expect to replicate the success we've had in Nevada and become a top five selling product in every category in California. We're confident and have seen our products at good velocity and are a welcome addition to third-party shelves. With that, I'll pass it over to Dennis to discuss our financials. Thank you, Larry. Before I begin, I'd just like to remind everyone that all numbers on today's call are in US dollars, unless stated specifically otherwise. In Q4, we generated $24.8 million in revenue compared to $25.6 million in Q3. That's a 3% decline quarter-over-quarter. As Larry discussed, the significant declines in pricing started to bottom in Q4, while unit sales volume has trended above that of Q3, enabling the company to offset some of the increased pricing pressure on operating costs that we have experienced during the quarter and during the year ended December 31, 2022. Q4 has historically been our slowest quarter and the shift in the pricing environment during the quarter was welcome to market developments. Looking at 2023, we expect revenue to be relatively flat for the first half of the year, with growth towards the back end of the year driven by new assets coming online and continued growth from our wholesale operations in both Nevada and California. In Q4, 2022, gross margin increased sequentially to 43% from 41.2% in Q3, 2022. The increase was driven by gains in efficiency and yield at our cultivation facilities, along with an increase in the shelf space and sell-through rate of our house brands at our own dispensaries. Over the course of 2023, we expect continued incremental improvement in gross profit, especially in California. Having said that, we don't expect gross profit to reach north of 50% again because of the dilutive impact on margins from our growing wholesale operations in both California and Nevada. Gross margins at our retail operations continue to be in the high 50% range in Las Vegas and a low 50% range in California. We continue to target a long-term 50% or higher gross margin for all of our retail operations, and we expect gains from vertical integration to offset some of the pricing pressures at the retail level. Sales and marketing expense for the quarter was $1 million, up from $938,000 in Q3, and down substantially from the $1.8 million in Q4 2021. For the full year, $3.5 million compared to $6 million in 2021. We continue to focus our marketing activities on areas that are direct sales drivers, such as events and activities and celebrity appearances, where we can readily measure the incremental sales generated and the return on the investment from this targeted spending. The company spent $12.5 million on G&A expenses in the quarter, down significantly from the $15.7 million in Q4 of 2021. Across the organization, we are doing a good job of controlling our costs and improving our efficiency. For the full year, G&A was $49.3 million, compared to $59.9 million in 2021. The improvements in sales and marketing and G&A are clear signs of our focus on cost control and cash flow. This continues to be a priority for us in 2023, becoming a leaner, more efficient company that can propel future growth and most importantly, generate sustainable cash flow despite the unfair, what we consider unfair, 280E tax treatment. During the quarter, we also took a $32.7 million impairment charge related to our cultivation assets in California. As we've seen across the industry, the change in valuations and the decrease in wholesale pricing in the California market led us to a revaluation of the assets on our and several of our competitors' balance sheets, leading to this impairment charge. This impairment charge reduces the carrying value of the goodwill on our balance sheet to zero, but does not impact our cash flow or business fundamentals. In 2023, we generated $3.8 million in positive operating cash flow while remaining current on our taxes payable balance. We've done this while supporting the build-out of Florida and Illinois, which are both still pre-revenue. It's a testament to our individual state level profitability in Nevada and working towards that in California. As we increase the scale of our operations and generate more revenue, we expect to improve operating leverage and cash flow. As of December 31st, 2022, the company had a cash balance of $52 million and no debt. In 2022, we spent approximately $14.1 million on CapEx between our Nevada cultivation facility expansion, which was completed during Q4, and the build-out of our Florida operations. As we've discussed, our priorities as we look to ahead to 2023 are to build scale and increase profitability and operating cash flow. We are focused on the continued build-out of Florida, as well as focusing on our Illinois dispensary and looking for other profitable standalone opportunities that will increase Planet 13's scale. We will be opportunistic in managing the CapEx requirements for these initiatives and continue to seek alternatives that reduce CapEx in order to conserve our cash position. We believe having a strong cash position, generating positive cash flow, and being debt-free gives us flexibility to weather the current storm that other cannabis operators do not have such luxury doing. With that, I'll turn it over to Bob. Thank you, Dennis. Good afternoon, everyone. Throughout 2022, we took steps to add scale to the business. We've gone from essentially a single state operator to a vertically integrated multi-state operator with a lot of growth ahead. Looking at our various growth projects, in Illinois, for instance, we're making significant progress. In February of this year, we purchased the dispensary location and started renovations. We also purchased the remaining 51% ownership in February, making the Illinois dispensary now 100% owned by Planet 13. We are very excited about the prospects for this dispensary. Its location in Waukegan, in a prominent shopping center and beside a large casino project, will ensure built-in customer foot traffic. The store is similar to our neighborhood-style stores with a smaller footprint and lower operating expense, yet still offering the unique customer experience that Planet 13 is known for. We are targeting an opening for later this year. We've also begun discussions with many different producers in the state to ensure we get competitive pricing and diverse inventory selection. We don't see any issues in that regard, with not being vertically integrated. With so many MSOs in the state, there's a lot of competition, and we believe we can ensure a steady supply at attractive prices. Turning to Nevada, we were provisionally approved for a consumption lounge on December 5th. We are working closely with the regulators to craft our plan and are exploring all options, including working with partners to lower the CapEx and operating costs involved with the lounge. This is a new and exciting frontier for the cannabis industry, and alongside our various stakeholders, we are working to figure out the best path forward that exceeds everyone's expectations and delivers the highest ROI for Planet 13. In Florida, we purchased our cultivation campus in July. We've been building out a focused, hyper-efficient cultivation facility aimed at growing high-quality flower that is cost competitive. Concurrent with building out the facility, we've been exploring opportunities to take on leases from other companies as a way to speed our time to market, increase our long-term supply of edibles, vapes, and other manufactured products. We've signed leases with four dispensaries so far, all of them in good locations with easy access, good parking, and very reasonable lease rates. We expect all of these dispensaries to have strong four-wall economics once they are up and running and very low fixed costs. We expect all six of our initial dispensaries to be ready when our cultivation is online, and we're able to fully stock shelves. Let's look back at 2022 for just a moment. I'll address the three goals that we set at the beginning of the year and where we ended up. Our first goal, of course, was to maintain the 8%-12% of Nevada retail sales and continue to grow wholesale share in the state while executing on accretive and diversified revenue opportunities. Looking at the year as a whole, we have maintained a 9% share of the Nevada retail market. Our wholesale revenue has continued to expand at 25% for the full year. We completed our Bell cultivation expansion, as indicated previously, and have made progress on several opportunities to increase utilization of the SuperStore, include getting a consumption lounge approved and opened and other third-party shop-in-shop concepts. Unfortunately, we've seen an industry-wide slowdown in sales and a reduction in average unit price, which has limited the revenue in Nevada, but under the circumstances, all in all, performed well throughout 2022. We are optimistic that this pricing pressure has stabilized and that we can grow revenue in Nevada in 2023 and continue to maintain that 8%-12% margin statewide from our two dispensaries. With respect to the second goal we'd set for ourselves, we were looking to improve profitability through increased sales and operating leverage at our dispensary in California, increase vertical integration, and enter into profitable wholesale operations. Throughout 2022, we saw progress on all fronts. We successfully entered into the California wholesale operations and generated $3.1 million in Q4 alone. Our revenue on the retail side in California increased to $9.8 million in 2022 compared to $5 million in 2021. We believe we can continue to grow those numbers in 2023. Over the course of the year, we've also drove margin expansion in California through better utilization rates at our wholesale facility, increased vertical integration at the OC store, and more efficient staffing. Our third target at the start of the year was making progress on operations in Florida to drive growth and to open our doors in Florida in 2023. On this front, progress has been slower than we would have liked. We've attempted to speed up the path to market in a cost-efficient way, including taking over leased cultivation facilities while building our premium-focused cultivation operation. We can continue with our plan to build out a cultivation facility that will be competitive long term from an efficiency and quality perspective, but have had some of our lease opportunities fall through at the last minute. Overall, despite the difficulties facing the cannabis industry throughout the United States, we've been effective in our goal to meet the objectives that we set. We have generated meaningful expansion of sales on our own brands. Have made progress towards the expansion of Planet 13 in both Florida and Illinois. 2023 will be an important year in the development of Planet 13. We'll take a major step towards being a scaled multi-state operator with revenue generating retail in four states and a full vertical operation in three of those states. We are also seeing more and more opportunities to add assets to the portfolio from practically nothing, that are synergistic with our current footprint. As we look at 2023, the goal is clear: conserve capital, improve profitability, and increase scale and operating strength to ensure that Planet 13 is one of the companies that makes it through the challenging period, and reaps the outside benefits available in the long term for the cannabis industry's best companies. With that, I'd like to thank everybody for participating today, and I'd ask the operator now open the lines for questions. Thank you. Thank you. At this time, we will be conducting a question-and-answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad. A confirmation tone will indicate your line is in the question queue. You may press star two if you would like to remove your question from the queue. For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up your handset before pressing the star keys. One moment please, while we poll for questions. The first question is coming from Bobby Burleson from Canaccord Genuity. Please proceed. Hey, thanks for taking my questions. So I guess this is for either Bob or Larry or both. You know, it looks like some of the tourist data, you know, so far this year has gotten better, you know, versus last year, at least with the stuff I've seen. There's also talk about like a younger demographic and more international stuff like that. Is that something that you're seeing at the SuperStore? How does that kind of play into your position, you know, vis-a-vis the tourist component of your demand? Yeah. Hi, Bobby. It's Bob. Bob. Yeah, look, we're really excited. You know, we're seeing traffic upticks. We're seeing convention upticks. You know, that's all positive news. The type of events that are coming are really exciting, and we think will complement, you know, our facility. For instance, we've got this weekend, you know, the Sweet Sixteen and the Elite Eight college basketball tournament here in town. We've got, you know, one of the largest concerts of the year here, at Allegiant, Friday night. You know, through the balance of the year, now we've got F1 coming in, which we think is gonna be a huge draw later in the year. h things such as the Super Bowl coming in, and festival season is just starting, you know, with EDC and the other large outdoor events like Life is Beautiful. So we see a really strong summer, and, you know, we're excited. You know, the thing that's, you know, a bit concerning, of course, is addressed in the call, is where does the economy go, you know, from a macro perspective? We're, you know, as, you know, as we see the Fed just raised interest rates again yesterday. You know, this all has an impact on the customer and their wallets and, you know, their ability to pay. So we're going to watch that closely, and as Dennis said, we're going to continue to operate as efficiently as we can. But from a traffic standpoint, we're very encouraged. We think, Vegas is on the upswing there. Great. It sounds like some other, you know, operators are struggling in the state. Just wondering, you know, how you plan on capitalizing on that. You know, clearly you can pick up some share. Are there more aggressive things you can do in terms of acquisitions or, you know, what are, what are your thoughts on, you know, this extinction event that seems to be underway? Sure. You know, we're continuing to watch that. Larry and I field inquiries and multiple inquiries every week. We've got a lot of stores that are struggling. We think that's gonna create some opportunities for us here in the near term. Again, it's, you know, just a function of those operators coming to the realization where the market really stands. Some, you know, We stay in touch with them and, you know, we're optimistic we'll pick up some solid assets here as a result. Yeah. With that, this is Larry. I'll add that the other big benefit for us, even if we don't pick up the assets, is the getting rid of some of the competition, and we'll pick up the customers that are left, be divided between the ones that survive this downturn of dispensaries leaving us, so. Sure. It'd be a huge difference. Great. Thanks, Bob. Thanks, Larry. Yeah, I'll jump back into the queue. Appreciate it, Bobby. Good talking to you. Once again, if you have a question or a comment, please press star one. The next question is coming from Doug Cooper with Beacon Securities. Please proceed. Hey, good afternoon, guys. Just let's start on the balance sheet just so I'm clear. $53 million, I think it was, Dennis, as of December 31st. Correct. Yep. What is the CapEx budget? Just remind me, how much do you have to pay in February to take out the minority interest of the Illinois? What is the CapEx expected remaining in Florida and Illinois? I'm, I guess I'm looking for like a kind of pro forma cash number. I hear you. Fifty, you know, kind of $53 million on the balance sheet. You know, if you look at the subsequent to the year-end, we spent $2.1 million-$2.2 million purchasing the land for the Waukegan dispensary. We will likely spend another $2.5 million on the build out of that dispensary, so we'll be with a, you know, $5 million asset there. Then we'll do a sale leaseback on that to get some of that cash back. I look at that as a temporary out. Then we had to pay Frank $866,000 in cash to buy out the 51% of that license that we didn't own. That gives you a summary of where we are in Illinois in terms of the build out there. I think we have, you know, call it $3 million-$5 million that we may spend on the superstore, extending the grand hallway and building a gray shell for another lease opportunity in that space. Also, you know, as Bob mentioned, you know, working with the regulators on the lounge, although we don't intend to spend very much on the lounge, and we will, you know, take advantage of some of our existing space and do that conversion. The bigger one in Florida, managing aggressively the CapEx spend there. Obviously, we have four, you know, leased locations that we haven't started paying lease rates on them yet. I think, you know, they kick in some point in 2023. As Bob mentioned, we're looking at opportunities to get into that market faster than what we would otherwise be able to do if we built out on our own. It will be a scaled build-out where we can manage that cash outflow. You know, I would target, you know, no more than $5 million that we'd spend in Florida, at least in the near term. Okay. Illinois is expected to come on revenue producing in what should we consider it, second half, obviously, but closer to Q4. Florida, you anticipate revenue from there in this year? Yeah, well, you're correct on Illinois. I think it would be, you know, closer to the end of Q3, you know, into Q4, depending on where we're a little bit ahead of schedule in terms of our construction budget timeline. Florida, it's really gonna depend if, on the opportunities that we're currently working on. If they come to fruition, it could be sooner. If they don't, then it will be likely, you know, back end of the year into 2024. Okay. The dispensary in Illinois, given its location next to a casino, how many sq ft is it, just around us? Bill is on. Bill, do you have a square footage on that yourself? Yeah, we do. Total building, about 8,000 sq ft, two levels. First floor dispensary retail, gross footprint about 4,000 feet. Okay. What do you anticipate this, is this like a $10 million opportunity, you think, in Illinois? I would hope so. You know, I mean, that's what we're budgeting in that ballpark. I think it's a great location, given it's next to a casino and it's the high, high traffic down from Wisconsin into Illinois. We should pick up a bunch of traffic that is currently visiting other dispensaries and pick up all the casino traffic. You know, if we can't do $10 million on that facility, I'd be surprised. Well, this is Larry, I guess it depends on yeah, all I'll say is to compare it to something, the largest grossing dispensary in the state of Illinois is 10 miles farther south from the Wisconsin border and 10 miles farther west of the freeway. We're on the freeway across from a Walmart Supercenter next to the casino, next to that amusement park area about 15 minutes away. We and I would anticipate more in the 20s, not the 10s for revenue. That's why I said, Larry, if we can't do 10, then what are we doing then? Right. Yeah, that's exactly right. We're on the same page. Yeah. Okay. My last one, just on getting back to Bobby's question on Nevada, how many dispensaries are left now in Nevada, Bob or Larry, given that you implied that a few have maybe shut down? Yeah, let me qualify what was said earlier. They haven't shut down. There are some that they're on life support, a number of them. The problem is, Doug, the CCB keeps granting licenses. We've got a number of dispensaries that continue to prop up, but they've got no market share. Like I said, their livelihood or the length of operation is very short, particularly the standalones. If you're not an integrated operator, you're basically on fumes right now. I guess a two-pronged thing. If you were had some opportunities, would you prefer them to be in Las Vegas itself, or would you go outside into Reno or some of the other areas of the state? What are guys looking at? Like, the third time. Like, I know some of the publicly traded retailers here in Canada now trade 0.2 times sales. Public companies. Yeah. Yeah. Well, look, as far as location goes, I mean, there are a couple areas here in Clark County that would continue to be attractive for us. You know, Northern Nevada is saturated, there are a couple stores up there that I think have some potential. Obviously, you don't have the population base up there that you have here in Southern Nevada, you don't have anything close to the tourist draw. Mm-hmm. Like I said, it, there are some opportunities up there, and if they make sense for us and, you know, we can get them at the right price, we'll probably jump on them. There will be no shortage of opportunities here, as we go into this summer and fall. I can imagine you guys just looking at maybe build up your lease liability and, you know, get to realize some inventory or something like that. Yeah, of course. Yeah. Okay, that's it for me, guys. Thanks very much. Thanks, Doug. Good talking to you. We have reached the end of the question and answer session. This concludes today's conference, and you may disconnect your lines at this time. Thank you.
