Management Commentary from CEO, Obie Strickler

"In October 2023 we announced our entry into the New Jersey market, driving growth and the expansion of our foundation built on properly scaled, low-cost, high-quality flower production. The first quarter of 2025 marked our first full quarter of New Jersey sales where we are showing strong month-to-month improvement in sales penetration, re-order rates, quality, yield, and cost control. I am particularly pleased with our financial results, with ABCO reporting $1.8M in revenue and 43% Adjusted EBITDA margins while only approximately at 25% sell-through of the facilities' full capacity. We expect to complete Phase II construction, bringing our full capacity to 1,000 to 1,200lb of whole flower, in late 2025.

As part of our growth plan and the goal to enter one new state each year, we have been investing in our team and systems, which is reflected in our corporate expenses. I am particularly proud of our team's resilience and grit as we navigate pricing pressure in both Oregon and Michigan which affects our current profitability in both markets, yet we're maintaining Adjusted EBITDA margins in the mid 30% range. I remind our team frequently, and it's important for our shareholders as well, that these high-pressure competitive environments are what we are built for and historically when we've made some of our biggest efficiency and quality improvements. Despite year-over-year pricing pressure greater than 20% in both markets, this rising competition plays to our strengths and creates more opportunities for us to grab market share and further our brand awareness. We always have room for improvement, and while total pounds harvested, yield per square foot, and cost per pound produced were all positive year over year in both Oregon and Michigan, we saw a downtick in our "A" flower production in Michigan that we have identified and are correcting. While we don't have a crystal ball with respect to pricing, we expect our operational improvements to materialize in our KPIs as we move through the year. We believe our overhead investments position us well to support New Jersey and the next 2-3 states, starting with Illinois where construction has already begun. 

Although our team is never satisfied, I believe we're doing a remarkable job of executing against the things we control. Our near-term focus remains on continuous operational improvements, construction of phase two at the New Jersey facility, the buildout of our facility in Illinois, and our ongoing pursuit of additional markets and opportunities. We continue to believe that high-quality, low-cost, cannabis flower cultivation, that delights customers, is a protectable moat".

Management Commentary from CFO, Andrew Marchington

"To help investors understand our business, we're providing historical Adjusted EBITDA performance by segment calculated consistent with how we're reporting the first quarter of 2025 with a bridge to our previous methodology in the tables below. We migrated to what we anticipate will be a more conservative and consistent methodology. With this change and the disclosure of our operational KPIs, our goal is to give investors an accurate view of how our business is performing in line with how we view business performance internally. Because we continue to report under IFRS, the main adjustments relate to the fair-value adjustments for financial instruments and inventory that affect our cost of goods sold, which reflects how we evaluate our business internally. Our new methodology avoids other adjustments except for stock-based compensation. And as a reminder, given the complexity of our financial reporting with respect to ABCO in New Jersey, we are providing quarterly selected unaudited financial information for ABCO and pro forma performance metrics.

NOTES: 

1. The Company's "aEBITDA," or "Adjusted EBITDA," is a non-IFRS measure used by management that does not have any prescribed meaning by IFRS and that may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Company defines "EBITDA" as the Company's net income or loss for a period, as reported, before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and is further adjusted to remove transaction costs, stock-based compensation expense, accretion expense, gain (loss) on change in fair value of derivative liabilities, the effects of fair-value accounting for biological assets and inventory, as well as other non-cash items and items not representative of operational performance as reported in net income (loss). Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for the impact of various significant or unusual transactions. The Company believes that this is a useful metric to evaluate its operating performance.  The Company defined "Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA" as the combined Adjusted EBITDA of the Company plus the Adjusted EBITDA of New Jersey (ABCO), with any intercompany transactions eliminated.
2. "Pro forma Revenue" is a non-IFRS measure used by management that does not have any prescribed meaning by IFRS and that may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Company defines "Pro forma Revenue" as combined revenue of the Company plus revenue of New Jersey (ABCO), an affiliate which is accounted for as an equity method investment, with any intercompany revenues eliminated.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES 

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Revenue are non-IFRS measures and do not have standardized definitions under IFRS. The Company has also provided unaudited pro-forma financial information, which assumes that operations which will be consolidated in the future are consolidated in the current reported periods. The Company has provided the non-IFRS financial measures, which are not calculated or presented in accordance with IFRS, as supplemental information and in addition to the financial measures that are calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS. These supplemental non-IFRS financial measures are presented because management has evaluated the financial results both including and excluding the adjusted items and believe that the supplemental non-IFRS financial measures presented provide additional perspective and insights when analyzing the core operating performance of the business. These supplemental non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or as an alternative to, and should only be considered in conjunction with, the IFRS financial measures presented herein. Accordingly, the following information provides reconciliations of the supplemental non-IFRS financial measures, presented herein to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS.

Investors are cautioned that forward‐looking information is not based on historical facts but instead reflect the Company's management's expectations, estimates or projections concerning the business of the Company's future results or events based on the opinions, assumptions and estimates of management considered reasonable at the date the statements are made. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward‐looking information are reasonable, such information involves risks and uncertainties, and undue reliance should not be placed on such information, as unknown or unpredictable factors could have material adverse effects on future results, performance or achievements of the combined company. Among the key factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward‐looking information are the following: changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including changes in the financial markets; and in particular in the ability of the Company to raise debt and equity capital in the amounts and at the costs that it expects; adverse changes in the public perception of cannabis; decreases in the prevailing prices for cannabis and cannabis products in the markets that the Company operates in; adverse changes in applicable laws; or adverse changes in the application or enforcement of current laws; compliance with extensive government regulation and related costs, and other risks described in the Company's public disclosure documents filed on Sedar.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward‐looking information prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as intended, planned, anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. Although the Company has attempted to identify important risks, uncertainties and factors which could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be others that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended.
