High Tide (HITI) Reports Record Revenue. Why is Cash Flow Lagging Operating Profit Growth?

High Tide Inc. (HITI) reported Q3 revenue of C$198.8M, up 33% YoY, with operating income rising 133% to C$8.7M. Despite this, net cash from operations fell to C$10.1M from C$10.7M due to working capital changes. The company opened and acquired stores, and its German subsidiary saw revenue growth. However, same-store sales were flat, and working capital absorbed C$5.7M over nine months.
