For the New Cannabis Ventures' senior listing, segmented cannabis-only sales must generate more than US$25 million per quarter (CAD$31 million) – for full details, see: https://www.newcannabisventures.com/cannabis-company-revenue-ranking/  

²Based on publicly available store count data for the fourth fiscal quarter in the five Canadian provinces where Canna Cabana operates and as per publicly available data from Statistics Canada and provincial regulators

"I am pleased to report another record-breaking quarter and a strong close to fiscal 2025, a year in which High Tide successfully delivered on its key strategic and financial objectives. We achieved our goal of remaining free cash flow positive for the full fiscal year, driven by record quarterly revenue of $164 million, a revenue run-rate exceeding $650 million, and our highest Adjusted EBITDA to date."

"2025 was also a milestone year operationally, as we opened 27 new Canna Cabana locations organically in the calendar year, reaching the higher end of our previously communicated target. This expansion further solidified High Tide's position as the largest cannabis retailer in Canada, with 218 locations nationwide. In fiscal 2025, retail performance continued to strengthen, with bricks-and-mortar EBITDA margins reaching a record 9.4% in Q4, reinforcing our confidence in achieving 12% margins in the long term. This performance was underpinned by the continued strength of our proprietary Cabana Club and ELITE programs, which remain our crown jewel and the envy of the industry, maintaining their position as the largest and most robust bricks-and-mortar cannabis loyalty programs globally."

"In September, we closed our majority acquisition of Remexian Pharma GmbH, achieving our previously communicated goal of entering Europe's largest and fast-growing medical cannabis market. While Remexian experienced a temporary operational slowdown related to supply chain disruptions in Portugal that predated the closing of the transaction, we are now nearing the tail end of this disruption, with momentum steadily returning and December representing Remexian's second-highest month ever in terms of tonnage. As we progress our German business into fiscal 2026, Remexian remains a well-established and recognized platform in Germany, while we are also engaged in encouraging discussions with potential partners in the U.K. to distribute medical cannabis products and expand Remexian's international footprint."

"In parallel, with respect to advancing the Canna Cabana brand through licensing agreements, we continue to evaluate inbound interest from major U.S. operators with a focus on maximizing long-term shareholder value. Additionally, following the recent Executive Order issued by the Trump administration, we are in discussions with potential partners to explore opportunities involving our NuLeaf Naturals and FAB CBD brands under the recently announced Medicare pilot projects."

"With record Adjusted EBITDA, continued free cash flow generation, benefits of operating leverage, and a diversified footprint across Canada, the United States, and Europe, we believe High Tide is well positioned to build on its 2025 momentum and deliver sustained growth in 2026 and beyond."

-- Raj Grover, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of High Tide

2025 Fiscal Year and Fourth Fiscal Quarter – Financial Highlights:

• Revenue was a record $164.0 million for the three months ended October 31, 2025, compared to $138.3 million during the same period last year, an increase of 19% year over year, representing the fastest growth rate in nine quarters. Revenue was up 10% sequentially during the three months ended October 31, 2025, representing the fastest growth rate in three years. The Company notes that its core bricks-and-mortar segment revenue increased by 15% year over year and 3% sequentially.
• Gross profit was a record $42.5 million for the three months ended October 31, 2025, up 19% year over year and up 6% sequentially.
• Gross profit margin was 26% for the three months ended October 31, 2025, which was consistent year over year and compared to 27% sequentially. The margins in the Company's core bricks-and-mortar segment, which generated 92% of its revenue, increased sequentially for the fourth consecutive quarter. The consolidated gross margin in Q4 2025 was impacted by the addition of the medical cannabis distribution segment and specifically driven by older biomass in Portugal which is being liquidated at prices lower than usual given their limited time to expiry. The Company believes that it is nearing the tail end of this delay in Portugal.
• Adjusted EBITDA was a record $12.4 million in the three months ended October 31, 2025, representing the 22nd consecutive positive quarter, up 51% year over year, the fastest rate in six quarters, and up 17% sequentially.
• The Company generated $1.3 million of free cash flow in the fourth fiscal quarter. Driven primarily by a $2.3 million investment in working capital during the quarter, free cash flow decreased 78% year over year and 83% sequentially. During the course of fiscal 2025, the Company has generated $12.0 million of free cash flow, achieving its stated goal of remaining FCF positive for the year, while expanding its footprint by two dozen stores, and entering the German medical cannabis market.
• General and administration expenses represented 4.3% of revenue in the three months ended October 31, 2025, which compared to 4.2% during the previous year, and 4.4% sequentially.
• Salaries, wages, and benefits represented 11.5% of revenue in the three months ended October 31, 2025, which improved from 12.4% year over year and 12.2% sequentially, which represented the lowest level in the last nine quarters.
• During the fourth fiscal quarter, the Company generated a net loss of $46.7 million, compared to a net loss of $4.8 million year over year and net income of $0.8 million sequentially. The quarterly results were impacted by two one-time items. Adjusted for a non-cash impairment charge as well as fair value changes in derivative liabilities, net income would have been $1.4 million for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2025, or $0.02 per fully diluted share.
• Cabanalytics Business Data and Insights platform, advertising revenue, and other revenue, which includes management fees, interest income, and rental income, was a record $13.1 million for the three months ended October 31, 2025, compared to $10.9 million in the same period last year, representing an increase of 20% year over year and 9% sequentially.
• Cash and cash equivalents as at October 31, 2025 totaled $47.9 million, which compared to $47.3 million in the prior year, and $63.8 million sequentially. Note that during the fourth fiscal quarter, the Company paid $12.3 million in cash for the majority stake in Remexian.

OUTLOOK

Bricks-and-Mortar Retail

High Tide's wholly owned subsidiary, Canna Cabana, is the largest cannabis retail chain in Canada with 218 current operating locations. Following the opening of 27 new stores in the calendar year, the Company successfully reached the upper end of its previously stated target of 20–30 new locations in calendar 2025. The Company anticipates that it will advance toward its long-term goal of surpassing 350 locations nationwide by opening another 20-30 locations in calendar 2026, mostly through organic growth, while also evaluating supplemental M&A opportunities of varying sizes.

The Company continues to expand its white label cannabis product portfolio between its flagship Queen of Bud and Cabana Cannabis Co. brands, reaching 32 cannabis SKUs at the end of the  2025 fiscal year across the Canna Cabana store network. The Company continues to work on exciting new offerings to increase its white label product portfolio. The Company also notes that its white label cannabis SKUs currently represent only 1% of its total bricks-and-mortar cannabis sales. The Company anticipates significant growth in its cannabis white label product portfolio over the long term and anticipates sales of its higher-margin white label brands growing to 20% over the long-term.

Cabana Club & ELITE

The Company's Cabana Club and ELITE loyalty programs, which remain the largest such cannabis loyalty programs in the world, continue to expand at a rapid pace across Canada. Cabana Club membership has now surpassed 2.50 million members in Canada, which is up 45% in the past year. Over the long term the Company anticipates exceeding 3 million Cabana Club members in Canada. Globally, the Company has now surpassed 6.56 million Cabana Club members. ELITE, the paid membership tier, continues to break quarterly and annual growth records and now exceeds 151,000 members in Canada and 160,400 worldwide, with additional members being onboarded daily. ELITE members tend to shop more frequently and in larger quantities than base tier members.

United States

Consistent with its prior disclosure, the Company has been evaluating various alternatives regarding its e-commerce division, which currently represents 2% of its consolidated revenue.  Such alternatives include entertaining divestitures, partnerships, and maintaining paired down versions of the related websites until U.S. federal reform occurs. The Company has been in discussions over the past several months with various counterparties pursuing these alternatives, including receiving an offer for all its e-commerce platforms. On December 18, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order advancing the rescheduling of cannabis and announced that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is expected to launch a pilot program allowing seniors, who are Medicare beneficiaries, to receive CBD products at no cost up to US$500 per year. The Company is monitoring these new developments, with the view that they may represent a meaningful opportunity for its leading CBD businesses in the U.S., NuLeaf Naturals and FAB CBD. Accordingly, the Company has decided to put potential major transactions regarding this business segment on hold, until such time as the new framework for U.S. CBD is established and it can evaluate its prospects for growth.

Europe

In December 2025, distribution from Remexian reached 2.6 tonnes, representing the second-highest monthly tonnage level ever, trailing only June 2025, which recorded 2.9 tonnes of distributed medical cannabis. As international revenues expand, the Company is actively assessing its working capital requirements to support this growth and expects to expand Remexian's international footprint in 2026.

Free Cash Flow 

The Company also delivered on its previously stated objective of remaining free cash flow positive for the fiscal year, generating $12 million in fiscal 2025. The Company continues to gain strong traction in its strategic objective of procuring additional supply for Remexian and remains optimistic that sales will accelerate in the coming quarters, supported by continued momentum in the established German medical cannabis market, and growing interest from other emerging international markets. The Company notes that there is a meaningful delay between paying deposits to suppliers, and when the Company receives cash from its customers in Germany. While the Company is still evaluating the potential working capital investments necessary to grow the Remexian business, it expects to remain free cash flow positive for the 2026 fiscal year.

ATM PROGRAM QUARTERLY UPDATE

The Company has not issued equity via the ATM Program for the last three fiscal quarters. Pursuant to the Company's ATM Program that allowed the Company to issue up to $30 million (or the equivalent in U.S. dollars) of Common Shares from the treasury to the public from time to time, at the Company's discretion and subject to regulatory requirements, as required pursuant to National Instrument 44-102 – Shelf Distributions and the policies of the TSXV.

During the year ended October 31, 2025, the Company issued an aggregate of 11,600 Common Shares over the Nasdaq or TSXV, for aggregate gross proceeds of $52. Pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement cash commission of $1 on the aggregate gross proceeds raised was paid to the Agents in connection with their services under the Equity Distribution Agreement during year ended October 31, 2025.

Common Shares issued pursuant to the ATM Program were issued pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated August 31, 2023 (the "Canadian Prospectus Supplement") to the Company's final base shelf prospectus dated August 3, 2023, filed with the securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada (the "Canadian Shelf Prospectus") and pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated August 31, 2023 (the "U.S. Prospectus Supplement") to the Company's U.S. base prospectus dated August 3, 2023 (the "U.S. Base Prospectus") included in its registration statement on Form F-10 (the "Registration Statement") and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The Canadian Prospectus Supplement and Canadian Shelf Prospectus are available for download from SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, and the U.S. Prospectus Supplement, the U.S. Base Prospectus and Registration Statement are accessible via EDGAR on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

The Company used the net proceeds of the ATM Program at the discretion of the Company, to fund strategic initiatives it was developing, to support the growth and development of the Company's existing operations, funding future acquisitions as well as working capital and general corporate purposes.

The ATM Program was effective until July 24, 2025, when the Canadian Shelf Prospectus was withdrawn in order to file a new base shelf prospectus.

On August 11, 2025, the Company filed a final short form base shelf prospectus in all Canadian provinces and territories and a corresponding shelf registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These filings allow the Company to offer, during the 25-month effective period, up to an aggregate of $100,000 in one or more offerings of equity, debt, warrants, subscription receipts, units, convertible securities, or combinations thereof. As at the date the financial statements were authorized for issue, no securities had been issued under the shelf and no at-the-market distribution agreement or prospectus supplement had been entered into.

Readers are cautioned to not place undue reliance on forward-looking information. Actual results and developments may differ materially from those contemplated by these statements. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in these statements are reasonable, such statements are based on expectations, factors, and assumptions concerning future events which may prove to be inaccurate and are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the Company's control, including but not limited to the risk factors discussed under the heading "Non-Exhaustive List of Risk Factors" in Schedule A to our current annual information form, and elsewhere in this press release, as such factors may be further updated from time to time in our periodic filings, available at www.sedarplus.ca and www.sec.gov, which factors are incorporated herein by reference. Forward-looking statements contained in this press release are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement and reflect the Company's expectations as of the date hereof and are subject to change thereafter. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, estimates or opinions, future events or results, or otherwise, or to explain any material difference between subsequent actual events and such forward-looking information, except as required by applicable law. 

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FUTURE ORIENTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION  

This press release may contain future oriented financial information ("FOFI") within the meaning of applicable securities legislation about prospective results of operations, financial position or cash flows, which is subject to the same assumptions, risk factors, limitations, and qualifications as set out in the above "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements". FOFI is not presented in the format of a historical balance sheet, income statement or cash flow statement. FOFI does not purport to present the Company's financial condition in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and there can be no assurance that the assumptions made in preparing the FOFI will prove accurate. The actual results of operations of the Company and the resulting financial results will likely vary from the amounts set forth in the analysis presented, and such variation may be material (including due to the occurrence of unforeseen events occurring subsequent to the preparation of the FOFI). The Company and management believe that the FOFI has been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting management's best estimates and judgments as of the applicable date. However, because this information is highly subjective and subject to numerous risks, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the FOFI as necessarily indicative of future results. Except as required by applicable securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to update such FOFI. 

Importantly, the FOFI contained in this press release are, or may be, based upon certain additional assumptions that management believes to be reasonable based on the information currently available to management, including, but not limited to, assumptions about: (i) the future pricing for the Company's products, (ii) the future market demand and trends within the jurisdictions in which the Company may from time to time conduct the Company's business, (iii) the Company's ongoing inventory levels, and operating cost estimates, and (iv) the Company's net proceeds from the ATM Program and future financings. The FOFI or financial outlook contained in this press release do not purport to present the Company's financial condition in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and there can be no assurance that the assumptions made in preparing the FOFI will prove accurate. The actual results of operations of the Company and the resulting financial results will likely vary from the amounts set forth in the analysis presented in any such document, and such variation may be material (including due to the occurrence of unforeseen events occurring subsequent to the preparation of the FOFI). The Company and management believe that the FOFI has been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting management's best estimates and judgments as at the applicable date. However, because this information is highly subjective and subject to numerous risks including the risks discussed under the heading above entitled "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Company's public disclosures, FOFI or financial outlook within this press release should not be relied on as necessarily indicative of future results. 

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the FOFI, or financial outlook contained in this press release. Except as required by Canadian securities laws, the Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update such FOFI.
