Nuances around different business models become increasingly apparent when benchmarking gross margins. Charlotte's Web and CV Sciences, which we would classify as finished goods producers, command the highest margins, while Turning Point Brands' unique positioning within OTP products generates margins lower than the level that would be seen for traditional cigarette companies. Core cannabis companies have to contend with being both vertically integrated and in many instances, servicing retail stores, which are lower margin.
