This insight comes from Michael Marini of Cannabis Business Resources:

According to Viridian Capital Advisors, global cannabis M&A totaled $3.5 billion in the first 17 weeks of 2022, up 3.5% from 2021, but trailed behind overall capital raises for the first time since being tracked.  It is no secret that overall capital raises (i.e., equity and equity-linked financing) have not kept pace with 2021 levels.  The capital markets have slowed, and stock prices for the publicly traded Multi-State Operators (MSOs) have slid. The point has come where there is little to no question that non-dilutive financing is the most effective and efficient form of capital formation for cannabis companies.    

Just last year, 16 additional states, territories, and the District of Columbia have increased legalizing various areas of the cannabis industry. This raises the total to 37 different jurisdictions recognizing and legalizing various aspects of the recreational and/or medical cannabis industry. In addition, research shows that consumer attitudes are accelerating legalization efforts at the state level. In 2021, Gallup reported that 80% of U.S. citizens approve of legal access to medical marijuana, while 60% approve of full adult-use legalization. 

No individual driver is fueling this massive increase in merger and acquisition activity, but like other growing industries, there are many motivations for selling or acquiring a business: strategic alliances; acquisition of intellectual property, brand name, or expertise; gaining market share; removing a competitor; adding or buying out an investor. 

Further, as more states legalize, implement medical legislation, or convert from medical to recreational, there will be continued mergers and acquisitions in the cannabis industry as operators try to increase their footprint and expand capacity in their current locations. As the industry grows, Canna Business Resources is seeing M&A deals related to purchasing brands, intellectual property, growing cultivation footprints, equipment, and other vertical expansion initiatives.
