ECS Botanics (ECS) has posted record half-yearly revenue of $6.98 million for the six months to the end of December 2022.

ECS also reported its a 218 per cent increase in cash receipts from customers of $6.32 million in 1H FY23.
The company said its strong financial performance came as a result of growing demand for its cannabis oil and dried flower products within the Australian and international markets.
For the half-year period, ECS also reported a 50 per cent reduction in its loss after income tax to $1.36 million.
