Is Grown Rogue really profitable though? If you back out the NOLs and after taxes your left with negative net income.

Yep! Was unaware they were able to deduct some reported SG&A expenses under COGS because they are only a cultivator which reduces tax expense quite a bit.

Yes - one of the challenges fo cannabis is that "Adjusted EBITDA" doesn't really convert at the same percentage to cashflow as you look across MSOs because of varying retail exposure. Not always a bad thing as sometimes you want retail because benefit of increased sales/margins > marginal increase in taxes, but just makes it a bit more difficult to look at things apples to apples.
