VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 26, 2022 /CNW/ - Franchise Global Health Inc. ("Franchise Global" or the "Company") (TSXV: FGH) (FRA: WV4A) is pleased to announce its results for the second quarter of 2022.

Clifford Starke, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Franchise Global, stated, "The Company's German reportable segment continued its momentum in the quarter. Our results reflect the stability of our pharmaceutical business during a period of market volatility."

Mr. Starke continued, "We exited the quarter with total liquidity of $4.4 million, including cash of $2.4 million, and net assets of $9.3 million. Sales in the quarter of $13.5 million and $30.1 million year-to-date do not include $2.0 million of shipments made in early July for which arrangements were finalized in the quarter. Sales in the quarter were further affected by the strength of the Canadian dollar relative to the Euro as the Company's sales are in Euros while the Company reports in Canadian dollars".

Mr. Starke concluded, "Our solid distribution platform will prove to be invaluable as Germany continues to expedite the process towards legalization of recreational cannabis."
