“The Green Thumb team delivered another year of impressive results in 2024.

We ended the year with a strong balance sheet including $172 million in cash after repurchasing $43 million of company shares,” said Green Thumb Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ben Kovler. “Demand for THC in America is at an all-time high, and Green Thumb is well-positioned to deliver on this opportunity. Meanwhile, alcohol consumption trends in America are not positive, as the Surgeon General recently warned of the harms of alcohol and its link to cancer. In contrast, cannabis—now available to more Americans in more locations than ever—is enhancing the well-being of tens of millions across the nation. Over the past decade, our exceptional team has been consistently delivering best-in-class brands and experiences to promote well-being, and we are excited by the promising opportunity that lies ahead.”

Viridian Valuation Tracker:  EBITDA Margins vs EBITDA / Assets -- Which Should We Focus On?

 

We generally do not hear anyone commenting on EBITDA / Assets. Still, arguably, this is a more significant ratio than the EBITDA margin because it tells us how much return the company is making on the assets it has had to accumulate or finance.

Take Ascend Wellness (AAWH: CSE), for example. It has the second lowest EBITDA margin of the group, but it produces more sales per dollar of assets than any other company on the chart. Its profitability in terms of EBITDA to Assets is, accordingly, the third-best in the group.

All other things being equal, we tend to like higher EBITDA/ Assets as it measures not only raw margins but asset productivity. Perhaps this measure should get more attention.
