IM Cannabis Corp. (NASDAQ: IMCC) (CSE: IMCC) announced on Thursday its financial and operational results for the year ended Dec. 2023. The Toronto-headquartered medical cannabis company with a focus on Israel and Germany reported a 10% year-over-year decrease in revenue to CA$48.8 million ($36 million) in 2023. IM Cannabis attributed it to "negative currency fluctuations and the impact of the Israel-Hamas war on the company's operations." Fourth quarter revenue dropped 26% year-over-year to CA$10.7 million. "As previously warned and as expected, unfortunately, the Israel-Hamas war had a negative impact on our fourth quarter 2023 results, which weighed on our full-year results.," Uri Birenberg, chief financial officer of IMC, said. "Coupled with our fourth quarter of 2023 inventory reduction, the war caused our fourth quarter gross profit to decrease by 68% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2022."
