EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Village Farms International, Inc. (“VFF”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “Village Farms”, “we” “us” or “our”) is a corporation existing under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). The Company’s principal operating subsidiaries are Pure Sunfarms Corp. (“Pure Sunfarms” or “PSF”), Balanced Health Botanicals, LLC (“Balanced Health”), Rose LifeScience Inc. (“Rose LifeScience” or “Rose”), Leli Holland B. V. (“Leli” or “Leli Holland”) which formally changed its name to Village Farms International B.V. on March 6, 2026, Village Farms Canada Limited Partnership (“VFCLP”), Village Farms L.P. (“VFLP”), and VF Clean Energy, Inc. (“VFCE”).
Village Farms' mission is to apply decades of innovation in intensive agriculture to lead a sustainable path forward for the global cannabis industry. To do so, we leverage a proven track record of asset investment and development, cultivation expertise and experience in controlled environment agriculture to produce branded and wholesale cannabis products for global markets with legally permissible regulatory frameworks.
In Canada, we converted two large-scale, advanced greenhouse facilities to cannabis production to serve for the Canadian legal adult use (recreational), as well as international medical export, markets. Our focus for our Canadian Cannabis segment is to produce high quality cannabis, leveraging our low-cost production to provide preferred products at an attractive price that address the preferred consumer segments in the market. This market positioning, combined with our cultivation expertise, has enabled us to evolve into a leading producer of dried flower nationally and one of the few Canadian licensed producers with consistently strong operating results.
Through strategic organic growth, exports and/or acquisitions, we intend to participate in other international markets where cannabis attains legal status. In September 2021, our Canadian Cannabis business began exporting cannabis products to Australia for that country’s medical market. In March 2022, our Canadian Cannabis business received European Union Good Manufacturing Practice (“EU GMP”) certification for our 1.1 million square foot Delta 3 cannabis facility located in Delta, British Columbia (“B.C.”)
49
which permits us to export EU GMP-certified medical cannabis to importers and distributors in international markets that require EU GMP certification. In late 2022, we commenced exports to Israel. In 2023, we began exporting cannabis products to Germany and the United Kingdom for the medical markets in those countries. In 2025, we began exporting cannabis products to New Zealand. As a result of the typically higher margins in international medical markets, we expect international expansion to enhance our profitability while expanding our brand and experience into emerging legal cannabis markets.
During September 2024, we completed our acquisition of the remaining 15% equity ownership interest in Leli Holland. Through our ownership of Leli Holland, we hold one of ten licenses to cultivate and distribute cannabis legally in the Netherlands under that country’s Controlled Cannabis Supply Chain Experiment, with sales beginning in the first quarter of 2025.
In the U.S., Balanced Health is our industry-leading cannabinoid business, extending our portfolio into cannabidiol (“CBD”) and hemp-derived consumer products.
We also cultivate tomatoes and market them through Village Farms Fresh (a Vanguard Holdings Company) under the Village Farms Fresh (“VF Fresh”) brand which sells to mass retail grocery stores and food distribution companies.
Our intention is to use our assets, expertise and experience (across cannabis, hemp, CBD and produce ecosystems) to participate in the global cannabis market subject to compliance with all applicable national laws and applicable stock exchange rules.
Our Operating Segments
Cannabis Canada Segment
Our Cannabis Canada ("Canadian Cannabis") segment is composed of wholly owned Pure Sunfarms and an 80% ownership interest in Rose LifeScience.
Pure Sunfarms is one of the single largest cannabis growing operations in the world, one of the lowest-cost greenhouse producers and one of the leading flower brands in Canada. Pure Sunfarms leverages our 30 years of experience as a vertically integrated greenhouse grower for cannabis growth opportunities in Canada with commercial distribution in all Canadian provinces and territories, as well as exportation to medical markets outside of North America.
Rose is one of the top-selling licensed producers of cannabis in the Province of Quebec, as well as a prominent cannabis products commercialization expert in Quebec, acting as the exclusive, direct-to-retail sales, marketing and distribution entity for some of the best-known brands in Canada, as well as Quebec-based micro and craft growers.
Our long-term objective for our Canadian Cannabis segment is be the leading low-cost, high-quality cannabis producer and one of the leading brands nationally, and to leverage our experience and success in Canada to become a leading exporter of medicinal cannabis across the world.
Cannabis Netherlands Segment (operating as Leli Holland)
Our Cannabis Netherlands operating segment is composed of wholly owned subsidiary, Leli Holland B.V. Through Leli, we hold one of ten licenses to cultivate and distribute recreational cannabis legally in the Netherlands under that country’s Closed Supply Chain Experiment program, with sales commencing in February 2025. Leli Holland B.V. formally changed its name to Village Farms International B.V. effective on March 6, 2026.
Cannabis U.S. Segment
Our Cannabis U.S. ("U.S. Cannabis") operating segment is composed of wholly owned subsidiary Balanced Health.
Balanced Health is one of the leading cannabinoid (CBD) brands and e-commerce platforms in the United States. Balanced Health develops and sells high-quality CBD and hemp-based health and wellness products, distributing its diverse portfolio of consumer products through its top-ranked e-commerce platform, CBDistilleryTM.
Produce Segment
Our Produce segment is composed of VFCLP and the remaining VFLP assets after the sale and transfer of our produce assets with Vanguard Holdings in May 2025.
Our Produce segment cultivates premium-quality, greenhouse-grown tomatoes in Canada. The tomatoes are grown in a sophisticated, highly intensive agricultural greenhouse facility located in Delta, British Columbia.
On May 30, 2025, the Company closed on the transformative transaction to privatize certain assets and operations of its Produce segment, including its Marfa II and Fort Davis greenhouses, and all of its produce distribution centers, through a series of asset and lease transfers. The Company determined that the assets and operations that had been disposed of met the criteria for discontinued operations presentation. For all periods presented, the operating results associated with the assets disposed of have been reclassified into net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The associated assets and liabilities have been reflected as current and long-term assets and
50
liabilities of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, and the cash flows from the Company’s discontinued operations are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for all periods presented. See "Business-Our Produce Segment - Produce Transaction Agreements".
Clean Energy Segment
Our Clean Energy segment is composed of wholly owned subsidiary, VF Clean Energy Inc.
VFCE has partnered with Terreva Renewables (formerly Mas Energy) for the Delta RNG Project based on VFCE’s 20-year contract (including a five-year option to extend) with the City of Vancouver to capture landfill gas at the Delta, B.C. landfill site (the "Delta RNG Project"). The Delta RNG Project, which commenced operations in 2024, converts VFCE’s landfill gas into high-demand renewable natural gas ("RNG") through a state-of-the-art facility. Terreva Renewables sells the renewable natural gas and VFCE receives a portion of the revenue in the form of a monthly royalty.
Legal, Regulatory and Other Macroeconomic and Political Trends
The future of our business continues to depend on not only the cannabis regulation in Canada but also the current and developing cannabis regulations in other countries, including the EU and UN conventions. In addition, the November 2025 Appropriations Act will effectively recriminalize CBD in the United States which could have a material adverse effect on our U.S. cannabis segment. See “Risk Factors—Legal and Regulatory Risk Factors—The November 2025 Appropriations Act will make most CBD product beginning in November 2026 and will materially affect our U.S. cannabis business if further legal action is not taken”. The potential for U.S. federal legalization and/or rescheduling of cannabis, FDA regulation of CBD-derived products and the legal and other jurisdictions where we do business could have a material impact on the Company’s current and future operations. See “Risk Factors—Legal and Regulatory Risk Factors—We cannot predict when, if ever, cannabis will be federally legal in the United States and any rescheduling of U.S. Schedule I cannabis to Schedule III would have an uncertain impact on our business”.
Our business may also be materially affected by potential U.S./Canadian tariffs and/or other trade restrictions. See “Risk Factors—Industry Risk Factors—We face risks associated with cross-border trade and the potential for tariffs and other trade restrictions” and “Risk Factors—Labor and Employment Risk Factors—“Our operations are dependent on labor availability which includes accessing government sponsored foreign labor programs in Canada”.
In addition, our business has been affected, and we expect will continue to be affected for the foreseeable future, by inflation rates, and, indirectly, world conflicts (e.g., Russia/Ukraine), which may negatively affect our operating results. Inflation has affected and continues to affect supply chain and labor costs as well as purchasing decisions of consumers, amongst other items, which may impact demand for our products.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is not a recognized earnings measure and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of the Company because it excludes non-recurring and other items that do not reflect our business performance. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations includes the Company’s 70% interest in Rose LifeScience through March 31, 2024, 80% interest in Rose LifeScience beginning on April 1, 2024, 85% interest in Leli through September 22, 2024, and our 100% interest in Leli beginning on September 23, 2024.
We caution that our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 may not be indicative of our future performance.

Loss Before Taxes and Loss from Equity Method Investments
Loss before taxes and loss from equity method investments for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $29,604 compared to $25,625 for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is not a recognized earnings measure and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of the Company because it excludes non-recurring and other items that do not reflect our business performance. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations includes the Company’s 70% interest in Rose LifeScience through March 31, 2024, 80% interest in Rose LifeScience beginning on April 1, 2024, 85% interest in Leli through September 22, 2024, and our 100% interest in Leli beginning on September 23, 2024.

Year Ended December 31, 2025 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2024
Sales
Canadian Cannabis net sales for the years ended December 31, 2025 increased by $14,854, or 10%, to $163,710 from $148,856, for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in sales was due to an increase in international sales of $31,756, or
59
517%, primarily due to strength in export volumes to Europe, partially offset by a decrease in branded sales of 12% and a decrease in non-branded sales of 14%.
Canadian Cannabis continues to pay a burdensome excise tax on its branded sales (sales to provincial distributors). For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company incurred excise duties of $59,950 (C$83,744), or 38% of gross branded sales, compared to $71,953 (C$98,442), or 39% of gross branded sales, for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease of $12,003 (C$14,698), or 17%, was due to a decrease in kilograms sold in the branded channel and the impact of exchange rate fluctuations. The Canadian excise duty is our single largest cost of participating in the branded adult-use market in Canada.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, 60% of net sales were generated from branded flower, pre-rolls and cannabis derivative products compared to 75% for the year ended December 31, 2024. Non-branded, international, and other sales accounted for 40% of Canadian Cannabis net sales for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 25% for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The net average selling price of branded flower and pre-roll formats increased in 2025 compared to 2024 due to a planned mix shift toward higher market brands. Excluding pre-roll formats, the average net selling price of branded flower increased by 2% for the year ended December 31, 2025. The net average selling price of bulk non-branded flower increased by 2%. The net average selling price of international sales decreased by 11% due to a shift in product mix in favor of bulk flower over packaged flower.
The following table presents sales by Canadian Cannabis revenue stream, together with the impact of excise tax, in U. S. dollars and Canadian dollars, for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:
For The Year Ended
(in thousands of U.S. dollars) December 31, 2025 December 31, 2024
For The Year Ended
(in thousands of Canadian dollars) December 31, 2025 December 31, 2024
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased $26,000, or 22%, to $92,172 from $118,172 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in volume (kilograms) packaged and sold of our branded and non-banded products and a shift in international sales mix in favor of bulk flower, which has a lower average cost per gram, over other packaged products. The year ended 2024 also had an unfavorable, non-cash, inventory impairment relative to its net realizable value of $10,436 (C$15,000), resulting from older manufactured inventory products which required incremental rework costs that were higher than the resell value of the finished goods.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased $40,854, or 133%, to $71,538 from $30,684 for the year ended December 31, 2024. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the periods ended December 31, 2025 increased to 44% from 21%, for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was due to higher sales volume of bulk flower in international sales, higher sales of trim, and the non-cash inventory impairment during the year ended December 31, 2024 of $10,436 (C$15,000).
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased $844, or 2%, to $34,872, or 21% of net sales, from $34,028, or 23% of net sales, for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher commercial and marketing expenses and incremental integration costs.
Other Expense, Net
60
Other expense, net was $1,063 for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $1,007 for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Net Income (Loss)
Net income for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $26,577 compared to a net loss of ($3,181) for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to improved gross margin in 2025 and the impact of the 2024 inventory write down of $10,436 (C$15,000) on our 2024 results, partially offset by an increase in the tax provision expense of $10,899 and an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations
Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $47,623 for the year ended December 31, 2025 and $7,282 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase of $40,341, or 554%, between periods was primarily due to the improved margins and the inventory impairment charge of $10,436 (C$15,000) during the year ended December 31, 2024. See the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations to net income in “Non-GAAP Measures—Reconciliation of Net Earnings to Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations”.
Year Ended December 31, 2024 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2023
Sales
Canadian cannabis net sales for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased by $34,826, or 31%, to $148,856 from $114,030, for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in sales was due to a 26% increase in branded sales, an 86% increase in non-branded sales, and a 33% increase in international sales, partially offset by an unfavorable impact of exchange rate fluctuations. The increase in branded sales was due to market share gain across the flower, pre-roll and milled categories, driven by high quality cultivation and new product launches. The increase in non-branded sales resulted from improved industry supply conditions and pricing supported by a shift of many producers toward asset light models, as well as sales of non-brand-spec inventory.
Canadian Cannabis continues to pay a burdensome excise tax on its branded sales (sales to provincial distributors). For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred excise tax of $71,953 (C$98,442) versus $58,015 (C$78,315) for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase of $13,938 (C$20,127), or 24%, in excise taxes was due to an increase in kilograms sold in the branded channel. The Canadian excise tax is our single largest cost of participating in the adult-use (branded) market in Canada.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, 75% of Canadian Cannabis net sales was generated from branded flower, pre-roll, and cannabis derivative products, net of excise tax. For the year ended December 31, 2023, 80% of Canadian Cannabis net sales was generated from branded flower, pre-roll sales and cannabis derivative products, net of excise tax. Non-branded accounted for 19% and international accounted 4% of Canadian Cannabis net sales in 2024, as compared to non-branded of 14% and international of 4% in 2023. The increase in non-branded sales was driven by increased demand for bulk flower products.
The net average selling price of branded flower and pre-roll formats decreased in 2024 compared to 2023. Excluding pre-roll formats, the average net selling price of branded flower decreased by (2%) in 2024 due to a higher ratio of sales for our value brand Fraser Valley Weed Co and our milled and pre roll branded products. The net average selling price of bulk non-branded flower and trim increased by 45% in 2024 largely due to an increase in bulk flower, which are sold at a higher selling price, and higher demand for lower specification biomass which led to increased volumes and prices.
The following table presents sales by Canadian Cannabis revenue stream, together with the impact of excise tax, in U. S. dollars and Canadian dollars, for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

For The Year Ended
(in thousands of Canadian dollars) December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the years ended December 31, 2024 increased $40,082, or 51%, to $118,172 from $78,090 for the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to an increase in volume (kilograms) packaged and sold of branded products, as well as the non-cash inventory impairment relative to its net realizable value of $10,436 (C$15,000) for the year ended December 31, 2024, resulting from older manufactured inventory products which required incremental rework costs that were higher than the resell value of the finished goods, so it was concluded to write off this inventory rather than to continue incurring incremental costs to sell it.
Gross Margin
Gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2024 decreased $5,256, or 15%, to $30,684 from $35,940 for the year ended December 31, 2023. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales for the periods ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was 21% and 32%, respectively, the lower 2024 gross margin was primarily due to the non-cash inventory impairment in the fourth quarter of $10,436 (C$15,000). Excluding the inventory write down, gross margin as a percentage of net sales for the period ended December 31, 2024 was 28% compared to 32% for the year ended December 31, 2023
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased $4,753, or 16%, to $34,028, or 23% of net sales, from $29,275, or 26% of net sales, for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to higher commercial and marketing expenses, which has helped drive increases in branded sales.
Other (Expense) Income, net
Other expense, net was $1,007 for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $2,136 for the year ended December 31, 2023, the decrease of $1,129 was due primarily to lower interest expense.
Net Income (Loss)
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $3,181 compared to net income of $2,936 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The change is primarily due to the inventory write down of $10,436 (C$15,000). Excluding the inventory write down, net income for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $7,255. The improvement was due primarily to increased sales, partially offset by a lower margin, higher selling, general and administrative costs, and decrease in tax provision of $2,968 when compared to the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations
Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $7,282 for the year ended December 31, 2024 and $14,764 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease of $7,482, or 51%, between periods was due to an inventory impairment charge of $10,436 (C$15,000) during the year ended December 31, 2024. Excluding the inventory write down, Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $17,718, an increase of 20% compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2025, we had $86,252 in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, and $95,851 of working capital, compared to $24,631 in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and $53,800 of working capital as of December 31, 2024. Subsequent to year end, we paid $14 million on February 26, 2026 to the Canadian Revenue Agency for our expected 2025 income tax liability, as well as two months of its 2026 income tax installments. We believe that our existing cash, cash generated from our

operating activities, together with availability under the Pure Sunfarms Secured Credit Facilities (defined below), will provide sufficient liquidity to meet our working capital needs, repayments of our long-term debt, future contractual obligations and planned capital expenditures for the next 12 months. An additional potential source of liquidity is access to capital markets for additional equity or debt financing. We intend to use our cash on hand for daily operational funding requirements.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, borrowings under the FCC Term Loan agreement were subject to interest rates of 7.45% and 8.12% per annum, respectively.
As collateral for the FCC Term Loan, the Company has provided a promissory note, a first mortgage on the VFF-owned Delta 1 and Monahans greenhouses, and general security agreements over its assets. In addition, the Company has provided full recourse guarantees and has granted security interests in respect of the FCC Term Loan. The carrying value of the assets and securities pledged as collateral as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $84,653 and $77,682, respectively.
On April 10, 2025, the Company entered into the A&R Credit Agreement with respect to the FCC Term Loan. Among other things, the A&R Credit Agreement (i) adds the Company as a new borrower, (ii) adds VF Clean Energy, Inc. as a new guarantor, and (iii) replaces the fixed charged ratio covenant with a more favorable liquidity ratio covenant.
Pure Sunfarms Loans
On April 17, 2025, the Company entered into a secured credit facility with a Canadian chartered bank as administrative agent with an aggregate borrowing capacity of C$37.4 million, consisting of a maximum C$10.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Pure Sunfarms Revolving Credit Facility”), and a C$27.4 million term loan facility (the “Pure Sunfarms Term Loan Facility”, and collectively with the Pure Sunfarms Revolving Credit Facility, the “Pure Sunfarms Secured Credit Facilities”). The Pure Sunfarms Secured Credit Facilities are secured by the Delta 2 and Delta 3 greenhouse facilities. The Pure Sunfarms Secured Credit Facilities will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes, and were used to replace, and repay remaining outstanding balances on, the Company’s (i) Pure Sunfarms Loans and (ii) the PSF Revolving Line of Credit. The credit and guarantee agreements related to the Pure Sunfarms Loans and the PSF Revolving Line of Credit were likewise terminated.
The Pure Sunfarms Revolving Credit Facility can be drawn for advances of up to C$10.0 million. The outstanding amount of the Pure Sunfarms Term Loan Facility was $17,799 as of December 31, 2025 and is repayable, on a quarterly basis, in an amount equal to C$1.0 million. Any amount remaining unpaid will be due and payable in full on the maturity date, which is on February 7, 2028.
The loans under the Pure Sunfarms Secured Credit Facilities accrue interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, (a) the Canadian Prime Rate plus the applicable margin, or (b) the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin for the Pure Sunfarms Secured Credit Facility is determined based upon the leverage ratio.
The Pure Sunfarms Secured Credit Facilities also contain customary covenants, customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, financial covenants and events of default.
66
Prior to April 2025, Pure Sunfarms had a credit facility with the Business Development Bank of Canada (the "BDC Facility"), a non-revolving credit facility (the “PSF Non-Revolving Facility”) and a term loan (the “PSF Term Loan”) with two Canadian chartered banks (collectively, with the BDC Facility, the PSF Non-Revolving Facility, and the PSF Term Loan the “Pure Sunfarms Loans”). In addition, Pure Sunfarms had a revolving line of credit (the “PSF Revolving Line of Credit”) with a Canadian chartered bank. As described above, on April 17, 2025, Pure Sunfarms replaced the Pure Sunfarms Loans and the PSF Revolving Line of Credit with the Pure Sunfarms Secured Credit Facilities.
On February 20, 2026, the Company amended the Pure Sunfarms Secured Credit Facilities which increased loan commitments by CAD $15 million and extended existing maturities by one year to February 2029. The incremental debt financing comes in the form of a delayed draw term loan, from which the Company drew an initial CAD $5 million on February 20, 2026. All other terms of the Pure Sunfarms Secured Credit Facilities remain unchanged.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments
We expect to meet our contractual obligations and commitments through the use of our working capital and our other available liquidity sources as described above. We currently do not have any material cash requirements in the near future, other than
67
the completion of the Cannabis Netherlands Phase II indoor cultivation facility and the conversion of half of our Delta 2 greenhouse to cannabis cultivation, as well as our long-term debt repayment obligations as described above.
In addition, we currently have material long-term debt and lines of credit that we rely on to meet the financing needs of the Company. The long-term debt and lines of credit have interest rate terms that may be affected by rising interest rates which can impact the cost of capital for the Company. For the sensitivity of our borrowing costs to fluctuations in interest rates, see “Item 7A – Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk – Interest Rate Risk” below for additional information.
Non-GAAP Measures
References in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis to “Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations” are to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), as further adjusted to exclude foreign currency exchange gains and losses, share-based compensation, gains and losses on asset sales and the other adjustments set forth in the table below. In addition, we present below “Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations – Constant Currency” which excludes the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. See “—Constant Currency” below. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations - Constant Currency are measures of operating performance that are not recognized under GAAP and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Therefore, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Investors are cautioned that our non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an alternative to net income or loss determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of our performance. Our non-GAAP measures are used as additional measures to evaluate the operating and financial performance of our segments. Management believes that our non-GAAP measures are important measures in evaluating the historical performance of the Company because it excludes items that do not reflect our business performance.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is not a recognized earnings measure and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations presented for these segments may not be comparable to similar measures presented for comparable segments by other issuers. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of the Company because it excludes items that do not reflect our business performance. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations includes the Company’s 70% interest in Rose LifeScience through March 31, 2024, 80% interest in Rose LifeScience beginning on April 1, 2024, 85% interest in Leli through September 22, 2024, and our 100% interest in Leli beginning on September 23, 2024.
Constant Currency
To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have presented constant currency adjusted financial measures for sales, cost of sales, selling, general and administrative, other income (expense), operating (loss) income, loss from consolidated entities, net loss, and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, which are considered non-GAAP financial measures. We present constant currency information to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying operations performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. To present this information, current and comparative prior period income statement results in currencies other than U.S. dollars are converted into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates from the annual comparative period rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the respective current periods. All growth comparisons relate to the corresponding periods. We have provided this non-GAAP financial information to aid investors in better understanding the performance of our segments without taking into account the effect of exchange rate fluctuations. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Quarterly Report
70
should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
See Note 1, “Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies – New Accounting Pronouncements,” of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of our Annual Report for additional information about new accounting pronouncements.
Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Judgments
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, including the potential future effects of macroeconomic trends and events, such as inflation and interest rate levels; supply chain disruptions; uncertainty from potential recessionary effects; climate-related matters; market, industry and regulatory factors; global events, and public health matters. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about our operating results and the carrying values of assets and liabilities, that are not readily apparent from other sources. Given that management estimates, by their nature, involve judgments regarding future uncertainties, actual results could differ materially from these estimates if conditions change or if certain key assumptions used in making these estimates ultimately prove to be inaccurate. Our accounting policies and critical accounting estimates are reviewed periodically by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
We believe that our accounting estimates pertaining to the valuations of goodwill and intangible assets are the most critical in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements as they require significant or complex judgment and estimates on the part of management. Actual results could, however, vary materially from these accounting estimates.
Refer to Note 1 - Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements, which is included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a more detailed discussion of our significant accounting policies and critical accounting estimates.

Assessment for Indicators of Impairment
Goodwill
Year Ended December 31, 2025
Cannabis – Canada – Goodwill
There were no impairment indicators for the period ended December 31, 2025.
Year Ended December 31, 2024
Cannabis – Canada – Goodwill
The fair value of the reporting unit was determined based on a discounted cash flow projections from budgets approved for 2025, which was extended to 2029 with a compound annual revenue growth rate of 7.5% from 2025 to 2029, followed by terminal growth rate of 3%. Management concluded that the fair value was higher than its carrying amount by approximately $9,740 as of December 31, 2024 and therefore no impairment to goodwill was required.
The significant assumptions applied to the determination of the fair value are described below:
•
Post-tax discount rate: An increase of approximately 0.3% in the discount rate would result in the fair value being equal to the carrying value, and each additional 0.5% increase would result in an impairment of approximately $13,219.
•
Terminal growth rate: A decrease in approximately 0.6% in the terminal growth rate would result in the fair value being equal to the carrying value, and each additional 0.5% decrease would result in an impairment of approximately $6,957.
•
Forecasted Revenues: A decrease in forecasted revenues by approximately 4.1% would result in the fair value being equal to the carrying value, and each additional 5% decrease would result in an impairment of approximately $12,523.
•
Net working capital: Net working capital requirements are approximately 29.8% of revenue. An increase of approximately 3.8% in net working capital investment would result in the fair value being equal to the carrying value, and each additional 5% increase would result in an impairment of approximately $12,523.
Cannabis – Canada – Brand
The fair value of the brand was determined based on a discounted cash flow projection, covering a five-year period. Specifically, the Company utilized a relief from royalty valuation technique to arrive at the fair value of the brand. Management concluded that the fair value was higher than its carrying value of $3,270 by approximately $626 as of December 31, 2024 and therefore, no impairment to brand was allocated to the reporting unit.
The significant assumptions applied to the determination of the fair value are described below:
•
Post-tax discount rate: An increase in the discount rate by approximately 1.5% would result in the fair value being equal to the carrying value, and each additional 1% increase in the discount rate would result in an impairment of approximately $348.
•
Royalty rate: An incremental royalty rate of 3.5% of revenues was applied to brand-specific revenues. A decrease to the incremental royalty rate by approximately 0.2% would result in the recoverable amount being equal to the carrying value.
•
Future revenues: A decrease in future revenues by 4% would result in the fair value being equal to the carrying value, and each additional 10% decrease in the future revenues would result in an impairment of approximately $1,252.
73
Cannabis - U.S.
At June 30, 2024, when the Company considered qualitative factors in assessing impairment indicators, it concluded that the Company's U.S. - Cannabis segment more likely than not was impaired. The Company reviewed the reportable segment's assets, including goodwill and intangible assets. Based on recent historical performance during the quarter which underperformed relative to budget, a revised June 30, 2024 forecast which resulted in a shortfall compared to the March 31, 2024 forecast, the new restrictions on CBD sales in an additional eight states at July 1, 2024, and the proliferation of unregulated hemp-derived products on the market which continues to challenge market share for the CBD industry, the Company concluded that as of June 30, 2024, the fair value of the brand intangible asset and goodwill was fully impaired and an impairment charge to goodwill of $10,039 and a charge to intangibles of $1,900 was recorded to the U.S. Cannabis reporting unit.
Cannabis - U.S. - Goodwill
The fair value of the reporting unit was determined based on a discounted cash flow projection using projections for the remainder of 2024 to 2028 with an average revenue growth rate of 6% between 2025 to 2028, followed by a terminal growth rate of 2%. Management concluded that as of June 30, 2024, the fair value was lower than its carrying amount and as a result, an impairment charge to goodwill of $10,039 was recorded to the reporting unit.
The significant assumptions applied to the determination of the fair value are described below:
•
Post-tax discount rate: A market participant post-tax discount rate applied to the after-tax forecast cash flows was 12%. A decrease of 1% to the discount rate, would not result in a material change to the impairment charge.
•
Terminal growth rate: An increase of 1% in the terminal growth rate would not result in a material change to the impairment charge.
•
Future cash flows: An increase in future cash flows by 10% would not result in a material change to the impairment charge.
Cannabis – U.S. Brand
The fair value of the brand was determined based on a discounted cash flow projection. Specifically, the Company utilized a relief from royalty valuation technique to arrive at the fair value of the brand. Management concluded that as of June 30, 2024, the fair value was lower than its carrying value of $1,900 as the notional brand maintenance costs exceeded the incremental royalty of 3.5%. Therefore, an impairment charge to the brand intangible of $1,900 was allocated to the reporting unit.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventory includes capitalized production costs, including labor, materials, post-harvest costs and depreciation. Inventoriable costs are expensed to cost of goods sold on the Consolidated Statement of Operations in the same period as finished products are sold. The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realizable value and all losses of inventories are recognized as an expense in the period when the write-down or loss occurs. Inventory write-downs for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $11,038 which consisted of older manufactured products which required incremental rework costs that were higher than the resell value of the finished goods, so it was concluded to write off this inventory rather than to continue incurring incremental costs to sell it. There were no inventory impairments recognized for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s produce and cannabis revenue transactions consist of a single performance obligation to transfer promised goods at a fixed price. Quantities to be delivered to the customer are determined at a point near the date of delivery through purchase orders received from the customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it has fulfilled a performance obligation, which is typically when the customer receives the goods. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring the goods. The amount of revenue recognized is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, reduced for excise duty, returns, and other customer credits, such as trade discounts and volume rebates. Payment terms are consistent with terms standard to the markets the Company serves.
Direct-to-consumer product sales for loyalty members contain two distinct performance obligations for which the Company allocates the transaction price based on the relative stand-alone value of each performance obligation, such that both revenue related to the delivery of the underlying purchased goods and deferred revenue for loyalty points issued to the customer are recognized based on the allocated consideration of value, after giving consideration to loyalty point breakage. The loyalty liability represents a performance obligation to provide goods for free or at a discount to loyalty members in exchange for the redemptions of points earned from past activities.
74
Judgment is required in determining whether the Company is the principal or agent in certain transactions. We evaluate the presentation of revenue on a gross or net basis based on whether we control the service provided to the end-user and are the principal (i.e. “gross”), or we arrange for other parties to provide the service to the end-user and are an agent (i.e. “net”).
For each identified performance obligation in the contract with the customer, we assess whether our agency or the third-party supplier is the principal or agent. We control the specified services before transferring those services to the customer and act as the principal if we are primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service, have inventory risk, or discretion in establishing pricing. For performance obligations in which we act as principal, we record the gross amount billed to the customer within total revenue and the related incremental direct costs incurred as billable expenses.
If the third-party supplier, rather than the Company, is primarily responsible for the performance and deliverable to our customer, then we generally act as the agent and solely arrange for the third-party supplier to provide services to the customer. For performance obligations for which we act as the agent, we record our revenue as the net amount of our gross billings less pass-through expenses charged to a customer.
Revenue received from shipping and handling fees is reflected in net sales. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales as incurred or at the time revenue is recognized for the related goods, whichever comes first.
Year Ended December 31, 2023
As of December 31, 2023, when the Company considered qualitative factors in assessing impairment indicators it concluded that the Company's U.S. - Cannabis segment more likely than not was impaired. The Company tested that segment’s assets, including goodwill and intangible assets for impairment.
Cannabis - U.S. - Goodwill
The fair value of the reporting unit was determined based on a discounted cash flow projection from budgets approved by senior management for 2024 to 2029 with an average revenue growth rate of 8% over 6 years, followed by terminal growth rate of 4.1%. Management concluded that as of December 31, 2023, the fair value was lower than its carrying amount and as a result, an impairment charge to goodwill of $11,300 was allocated to the reporting unit.
The significant assumptions applied to the determination of the fair value are described below:
•
Post-tax discount rate: A market participant post-tax discount rate applied to the after-tax forecast cash flows was 11%. An increase of 1% to the discount rate, would increase the impairment by approximately $1,700.
•
Terminal growth rate: A decrease of 0.5% in the terminal growth rate would increase the impairment by approximately $700.
•
Future cash flows: A decrease in future cash flows by 10% would increase the impairment by approximately $1,300.
Cannabis – U.S. – Brand
The fair value of the brand was determined based on a discounted cash flow projection. Specifically, the Company utilized a relief from royalty valuation technique to arrive at the fair value of the brand. An average revenue growth rate of 8% was used over 6 years, followed by terminal growth rate of 4.1%. Management concluded that as of December 31, 2023, the fair value was lower than its carrying amount and as a result, an impairment charge to the brand intangible of $2,720 was allocated to the reporting unit.
75
The significant assumptions applied to the determination of the fair value are described below:
•
Post-tax discount rate: A market participant post-tax discount rate applied to the after-tax forecast cash flows was 11%. An increase of 1% to the discount rate, would increase the impairment by approximately $200.
•
Royalty rate: An incremental royalty rate of 3.5% of revenues was applied to brand-specific revenues. A decrease to the incremental royalty rate by 0.5% would increase the impairment to brand by $1,600.
•
Future revenues: A decrease in future revenues by 10% would increase the impairment by approximately $200.
Cannabis – Canada – Goodwill
The fair value of the reporting unit was determined based on a discounted cash flow projection from budgets approved for 2024, which was extended to 2027 with a compound annual revenue growth rate of 16% from 2024 to 2027, followed by terminal growth rate of 4%. Management concluded that the fair value was higher than its carrying amount by approximately $2,565 as of December 31, 2023 and therefore no impairment to goodwill was required.
The significant assumptions applied to the determination of the fair value are described below:
•
Post-tax discount rate: An increase of approximately 0.07% in the discount rate would result in the fair value being equal to the carrying value, and each additional 0.5% increase would result in an impairment of approximately $18,858.
•
Terminal growth rate: A decrease in approximately 0.1% in the terminal growth rate would result in the fair value being equal to the carrying value, and each additional 0.5% decrease would result in an impairment of approximately $17,350.
•
Future cash flows: A decrease in the future cash flows before net working capital by approximately 1.0% would result in the fair value being equal to the carrying value, and each additional 5% decrease would result in an impairment of approximately $16,595.
•
Net working capital: Net working capital ranges between 40% and 45% of revenue. An increase of 6% in net working capital investment would result in the fair value being equal to the carrying value, and each additional 5% increase would result in an impairment of approximately $3,017.
Cannabis – Canada – Brand
The fair value of the brand was determined based on a discounted cash flow projection, covering a four-year period. Specifically, the Company utilized a relief from royalty valuation technique to arrive at the fair value of the brand. Management concluded that the fair value was higher than its carrying value of $3,545 by approximately $453 as of December 31, 2023 and therefore, no impairment to brand was allocated to the reporting unit.
The significant assumptions applied to the determination of the fair value are described below:
•
Post-tax discount rate: An increase in the discount rate by 1% would result in the fair value being equal to the carrying value, and each additional 1% increase in the discount rate would result in an impairment of approximately $302.
•
Royalty rate: An incremental royalty rate of 3.5% of revenues was applied to brand-specific revenues. A decrease to the incremental royalty rate by 0.12% would result in the recoverable amount being equal to the carrying value.
•
Future revenues: A decrease in future revenues by 12% would result in the fair value being equal to the carrying value, and each additional 10% decrease in the future revenues would result in an impairment of approximately $317.
ITEM 7A.QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
As of December 31, 2025, our variable interest rate debt was primarily related to our Credit Facilities and Term Loans. Outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility and Term Loans bear interest at either the (a) Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or (b) Canadian Prime Rate, as defined in the agreement, plus an applicable margin. As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately $33,654 in aggregate principal amounts of our Term Loans with a weighted average interest rate of 6.0%. The current interest rates for outstanding revolving loans under our Credit Facility and Term Loans reflect basis point decreases of approximately 2.4% over the comparable period in 2024.
Our interest expense is affected by the overall interest rate environment. Our variable rate interest debt subjects us to risk from increases in prevailing interest rates. This risk increases in the current inflationary environment, in which the Federal Reserve may increase interest rates, resulting in an increase in our variable interest rates and related interest expense. An additional 50 basis
76
point increase in the applicable interest rates under our Credit Facility and Term Loan would have increased our interest expense by approximately $186 and $222 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
While we cannot predict our ability to refinance existing debt or the significance of the impact that interest rate movements will have on our existing debt, management evaluates our financial position on an ongoing basis.
Foreign Exchange Risk
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Canadian/U.S. foreign exchange rate was C$1.00 = US$0.7156 and C$1.00 = US$0.7301, respectively. Assuming that all other variables remain constant, an increase of $0.10 in the Canadian dollar would have the following impact on the ending balances of certain statements of financial position items at December 31, 2025 and 2024 with the net foreign exchange gain or loss directly impacting net income (loss).
Financial assets
Cash and cash equivalents $ 6,086 $ 2,260
Financial liabilities
Trade payables and accrued liabilities (7,301 ) (4,025 )
Net foreign exchange gain $ 5,604 $ 3,036
Our exposure to foreign exchange risk and the impact of foreign exchange rates are monitored by the Company’s management but generally the Company tries to match its sales (trade receivables) and vendor payments (trade payables) such that the net impact is not material.

I ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.
Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
77
of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Company's management, with participation of the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Finance Officer, under the oversight of our Board of Directors, conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 using the framework established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025.
Our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, who audited our financial statements included in this Form 10-K, has issued its report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, which is included herein.
Remediation of Material Weakness Identified as of December 31, 2024
As disclosed in Part II Item 9A Controls and Procedures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, we identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as the Company (i) did not effectively design and implement internal controls related to our information technology general controls (“ITGCs”) in the areas of user access and program change-management over the information technology (“IT”) system that is utilized to support the Produce segment’s financial reporting processes. Specifically, under our existing ITGCs, we determined that there were insufficient controls to limit user access to this system and to enable oversight of changes being made to the financial inputs under this system; and (ii) did not effectively design and implement internal controls over the review, approval, and documentation of manual journal entries by individuals separate from the preparer at our Produce segment which resulted in the unmitigated risk of management override of manual journal entries.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company’s management designed and implemented corrective actions to remediate the control deficiencies that contributed to the material weaknesses.
The remediation actions included:
Information Technology
•
Enhanced risk assessment and control identification procedures for our Produce segment’s system environment;
•
Enhanced existing controls to address the design and operation of IT general controls within our Produce segment’s IT environment in order to, among other things, limit privileged user access; and
•
Implemented controls around timely identification and review of system access and changes. Enhancing and maintaining policy documentation underlying IT general controls to promote knowledge transfer upon personnel and function changes.
Journal Entries
•
Enhanced existing controls to ensure that manual journal entries recorded in our financial records are properly reviewed and approved, preventing the potential for management override of controls.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company completed our testing of the operating effectiveness of the implemented controls and found them to be effective. Based on the steps implemented, management concluded that we had remediated the previously disclosed material weaknesses as of March 31, 2025.
In connection with the transaction to privatize certain assets and operations of its Produce segment to Vanguard Food, LP on May 30, 2025, management of the Company made the decision to pause the ITGCs implemented in Q1 2025 from June 29 to August 12, 2025. During this period, the newly implemented controls were not operating and the previously identified material weakness existed. As of the time of this filing, the controls implemented during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 have been reestablished. Accordingly, management concluded that we had remediated the previously disclosed material weakness as of December 31, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Except for the changes in connection with our implementation of the remediation plan and the remediation of our previously identified material weakness as discussed above, there have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Controls
Our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives
78
will be met. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
During the quarter ended December 31, 2025, no director or officer (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) of the Company adopted or terminated a "Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" or "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" (as each term is defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K).
