Management Commentary

Hugo Alves, CEO of Auxly, commented: "Through product innovation, increased capacity utilization, favourable pricing and product mix, the Auxly team delivered another strong quarter of revenue and earnings growth. Our operating efficiency and disciplined cost control, resulted in 48% year-over-year Adjusted EBITDA growth, CPG-style Adjusted EBITDA margins of 31%, and $11 million in cash flow from operations. Additionally, our focused strategy and culture of innovation has continued to strengthen Back Forty's position as the leading brand in Canadian cannabis. Now that we are accumulating free cash flow, we repaid high-interest debt subsequent to quarter-end resulting in approximately $900,000 of annualized interest expense savings, and we are currently evaluating organic growth alternatives that should continue to drive brand leadership, revenue growth and profitability over the long-term."

Net Revenues

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, net revenues were $39.9 million and $111.4 million as compared to $33.3 million and $87.7 million during the same periods in 2024, representing increases of 20% and 27% respectively. The year-over-year growth in net revenue was primarily driven by higher incremental volumes and improved pricing across the portfolio. The increase was particularly supported by strong performance in the Company's flower portfolio, which benefited from increased demand and improved distribution.

Revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were comprised of approximately 62% (2024 – 59%) and 63% (2024 – 60%) in sales of dried flower and pre-roll Cannabis Products, with the remainder from oils and Cannabis 2.0 Product sales.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, approximately 73% (2024 – 76%) and 74% (2024 – 77%) of cannabis sales originated from sales to British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario. Since 2024, the Company had sales in all Canadian provinces and the Yukon and Northwest Territories.

Gross Profit

Auxly realized a gross profit of $28.2 million and $69.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, resulting in 71% and 62% Gross Profit Margin the respective periods, as compared to $17.1 million (52%) and $42.5 million (48%) during the same periods in 2024. The Gross Margin on Finished Cannabis Inventory Sold for the three months ended September 30, 2025 improved to 56% from 47% in 2024. The Gross Margin on Finished Cannabis Inventory Sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 improved to 52% from 42% in 2024. The higher Gross Margin on Finished Cannabis Inventory Sold resulted from the improvements made in our manufacturing process to reduce operating costs and benefited from increased demand and pricing of adult-use recreational market and bulk flower products. Higher cultivation yields lowered costs, and efficiency improvements at our Auxly Charlottetown facility further reduced costs.

Realized and unrealized fair value gains and losses reflect accounting treatments associated with Auxly Leamington cultivation activities and sales and are influenced by changes in production, sales and net realizable value assumptions.

Inventory impairments during the third quarter of 2025 of $0.2 million were associated with charges related to the obsolescence of certain retired packaging and the reductions in net realizable value of dried cannabis under the Company's product specifications, a decrease of $0.4 million from the comparative period.

Total Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") are comprised of wages and benefits, office and administrative, professional fees, business development, and selling expenses. SG&A expenses were $11.6 million in the third quarter of 2025, $3.2 million or 38% higher than the same period in 2024. Year-to-date expenditures of $31.6 million in 2025 were $5.2 million higher than the same period in 2024. The increase in SG&A was primarily driven by investments to support higher sales.

Equity-based compensation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $1.3 million and $3.9 million, respectively, primarily driven by the Cash Settled RSUs granted in 2023 and RSUs issued in 2025 and 2024. During the same periods in 2024, equity-based compensation was $1.3 million and $4.0 million, respectively. 

Depreciation and amortization expenses were $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and $3.8 million year-to-date, flat compared to the same quarter in 2024 and an increase of $0.3 million year-to-date over the same period in 2024. The year-to-date increase was a result of capital investments made during 2024 and 2025.

Interest expenses were $1.4 million and $5.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $1.7 million and $7.3 million over the same periods in 2024. The decrease in expenses were primarily a result of the conversion of Imperial Debentures into Shares and lower interest expense on adjustable-rate debt. Interest expense includes accretion on the convertible debentures and interest paid in kind on the Imperial Debenture. Interest payable in cash was approximately $1.2 million for the third quarter of 2025, $1.2 million lower than the same period in 2024 as a result of lower principal amounts outstanding on debt instruments.

Total Other Income and Loss

Total other income and losses was a net gain of $6.7 million and $6.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a net gain of $0.2 million and a net loss of $0.7 million in the same periods in 2024. The other income and losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were primarily driven by the gain on the Imperial Debenture Settlement, partially offset by non-recurring expenses related to the Bank of Montreal Amended Credit Facility. The year-to-date other incomes and losses for 2024 included the loss on the adjustment to the provision related to the claim filed by Kindred Partners Inc., the loss on the sale of the Auxly Ottawa facility, partially offset by the gains on the extensions of the unsecured promissory notes.

Net Income and Loss

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $20.5 million, representing a basic net income of $0.02 per share and $0.01 per share on diluted basis. The net income of $20.5 million included an after-tax gain of $8.1 million on the Imperial Debenture Settlement. Excluding the impact of the Imperial Debenture Settlement, the change in net income in 2025 as compared to a net income of $3.2 million in the same period in 2024 was primarily driven by improved gross profits and reduction in interest and accretion expenses.

The net income of $40.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 includes $9.3 million of deferred tax recovery related to the change in estimated useful life of intangible assets and the conversion of the Imperial Debenture, and includes the gain on the Imperial Debenture Settlement. The net loss of $20.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 included $16.0 million of deferred tax expense on the conversion of Imperial Debenture into Shares. Excluding the deferred tax recovery related to the change in estimated useful life of intangible assets and the gain on the Imperial Debenture Settlement in 2025, and the deferred tax expense on the conversion of Imperial Debenture into Shares in 2024, year-to-date net income increased primarily due to improved gross profits and reduction in interest and accretion expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA was $12.3 million and $31.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, an improvement of $4.0 million and $15.5 million over the same periods in 2024, primarily as a result of improved gross profits, partially offset by higher selling expenses and wages and benefits to support higher sales.

O utlook

Auxly remains focused on delivering sustainable, profitable growth by building on its leadership in the Canadian cannabis market. The Company continues to advance its strategy through focused innovation, operational excellence, and prudent financial management. With a strengthened balance sheet, the Company is well-positioned to drive long-term shareholder value.

The Company expects the Canadian recreational cannabis market will continue to benefit from the tailwinds of increasing social acceptability, capture of market share from the illicit market, the divergence of existing supply to international markets and limited capital availability to the cannabis sector. The Company believes many of these trends could persist over the long-term.

The Company believes it can continue to grow net revenue above market rates through product innovation and increases to capacity utilization at Auxly Leamington. Both innovation and output increases are expected to be funded from free cash flow for the foreseeable future. Auxly plans to maintain profitability through focused innovation, investment in efficiency and automation, and rigorous cost control. Further, the conversion of profitability to free cash flow is expected to improve through the reduction of interest expense.

The Company expects to allocate $2.0 million to $2.5 million of cash flow from operations towards capital projects at Auxly Leamington and Auxly Charlottetown in 2025, part of which has already been invested. Excess cash flow after these expenditures will be allocated towards strengthening our balance sheet and/or pursuing accretive strategic initiatives.

The Company continues to see long-term potential in international markets, and we are actively evaluating export opportunities. The Company is well-positioned to succeed internationally, supported by our strong brands, scalable production, and strategic partnership with Imperial Brands.

Over the long-term, Auxly remains confident in its ability to deepen its leadership position in Canada's largest cannabis categories: dried flower, vapes, and pre-rolls. With its consumer-trusted brands, best-in-class operating assets, national distribution, and data-driven approach to innovation, Auxly is well-positioned to meet evolving consumer preferences and deliver strong financial performance.
