Post Third Quarter Highlights
-- Select launched into 3 new states, including Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania, now available in 16 states -- Opened 2 new dispensaries in Florida with 33 now open in state -- Completed Acquisition of Alternative Therapies Group in Massachusetts the last managed entity to be consolidated -- Voters in two key Curaleaf states approved cannabis for adult-use: New Jersey and Arizona -- Announced the divestiture of $31.5 million of assets in Maryland, supporting the optimization of Curaleaf's vertically integrated presence in the state
Joseph Lusardi, Chief Executive Officer of Curaleaf stated, "Curaleaf's record third quarter results were complemented by the successful completion of our acquisition of Grassroots, which expanded our presence into 6 new states, including high-growth markets such as Illinois and Pennsylvania. As we head into 2021, Curaleaf remains incredibly well-positioned following the transformative legalization of adult-use cannabis in Arizona and New Jersey, and consequently the potential of future adult-use in New York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut. Each of these markets present an enormous opportunity for us, as the only MSO with a leading presence in every one of these states. Looking forward, we expect our growth will be driven by organic initiatives, increased capacity and dispensaries in key states and the roll out of adult use in Arizona and New Jersey."
Mike Carlotti, Chief Financial Officer of Curaleaf, added, "Curaleaf, once again, delivered record quarterly results highlighted by record managed revenues, total revenues, and a 51% sequential improvement in Adjusted EBITDA. We anticipate a continued rise in managed revenue and adjusted EBITDA leading to strong sequential growth in the fourth quarter and into 2021. Finally, as of October 8th, we consolidated our final managed entity, Alternative Therapies Group in Massachusetts, and accordingly will report only IFRS total revenue beginning in the first quarter of 2021, thus greatly simplifying our future financial reporting."

Wholesale revenue increased nearly seven-fold to $45.0 million during the third quarter of 2020, compared to $6.5 million in the third quarter of 2019.
