Current report
Three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
Current report
Our personnel expenses increased slightly in the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to June 30, 2025, and were essentially unchanged in the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in the three months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily related to higher cash wages and commissions, partially offset by lower expenses related to our cash incentive programs and insurances. Personnel expenses decreased as a percentage of revenue in both current year periods compared to the respective prior year periods, from approximately 19% in each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 to 18% in each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.
Current report
Our net interest expense increased in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the respective prior year periods. These increases were primarily due to interest related to new finance leases and automobile financing entered into after the second quarter of 2025.
Removed paragraphs (2)
Previous report
Our personnel expenses were relatively unchanged in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The slight decrease in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same prior year period was primarily attributable to the elimination of employee expenses in connection with our pre-acquisition operations in Missouri, which we exited in the fourth quarter of 2025, coupled with lower employee cash incentive payments. Personnel costs decreased to approximately 18% of revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2026, from approximately 19% in the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Previous report
Our net interest expense increased by $0.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase was primarily due to the inclusion in the three months of March 31, 2026 of interest on finance leases entered into in the third quarter of 2025.

Previous wording
We are subject to ongoing business risks arising in the ordinary course of business that affect the estimation process of the carrying value of assets, the recording of liabilities, and the possibility of various loss contingencies. An estimated loss contingency is accrued when it is probable that a liability has been incurred or an asset has been impaired and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We regularly evaluate current information available to determine whether such amounts should be adjusted and record changes in estimates in the period they become known. We are subject to legal claims from time to time. We reserve for legal contingencies and legal fees when the amounts are probable and estimable.

Previous wording
We are typically considered the principal if we control the specified good or service before such good or service is transferred to our client, and typically considered the agent if we do not exert such control. We may also be deemed to be the principal even if we engage another party (an agent) to satisfy some of the performance obligations on our behalf, provided we (i) take on certain responsibilities, obligations and risks, (ii) possess certain abilities and discretion, or (iii) fulfill other relevant indicators of the sale. If deemed an agent, we do not recognize revenue for the performance obligations we do not satisfy.

Previous wording
Our product sales increased by $1.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in retail sales was primarily attributable to our dispensaries in Delaware and Maryland, partially offset by lower sales in certain of our other dispensaries in Illinois and, to a lesser extent, our Massachusetts dispensaries. The increase in our wholesale revenue was primarily attributable to higher wholesale revenue in Delaware and Illinois, partially offset by lower wholesale revenue in Maryland. The decrease in total other revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to the cessation of revenue recognition from management fees, rental income and other components of other income from FSC prior to its acquisition by us in March 2025.
Current wording
Our product sales increased by $2.3 million and $4.0 million, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in retail sales in each of the current year periods was primarily attributable to our dispensaries in Delaware and Maryland and, to a lesser extent, Ohio. These increases were partially offset by lower sales in our Massachusetts dispensaries and certain of our dispensaries in Illinois. The increase in our wholesale revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to higher wholesale revenue in Delaware and Illinois and, to a lesser extent, Maryland, partially offset by lower wholesale revenue in Missouri. Both our retail and wholesale revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2026 benefited from the inclusion of a full six months of revenue from Delaware, as the prior year six-month period included only four months of such revenue.

Current wording
The increase in other revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to the increase in revenue from licensing fees in the current year period. Other revenue was essentially unchanged in the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same prior year period, as the increase in the three months ended June 30, 2026 was offset by the cessation of revenue recognition from management fees, rental income and other components, effective as of the FSC Acquisition Date in connection with the FSC Acquisition.

The increase in our cost of revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to higher employee- and facilities-related expenses.

The increases in our cost of revenue in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same prior year periods was primarily due to increases in certain production-related expenses, coupled with higher employee-related expenses.

Previous wording
The decrease in our marketing and promotion expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to our planned reductions to these expenditures; however, we continue to focus on judicious marketing initiatives that expand the branding and distribution of our licensed products.

The increase in our general and administrative expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 were primarily attributable to higher facility-related, employee travel and entertainment, and depreciation expenses. These increases were largely offset by decreases in certain other general and administrative expenses, such as stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and insurance.
Current wording
The increases in our general and administrative expenses in each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the respective three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were primarily attributable to higher facility-related expenses, professional fees and depreciation expense.

Previous wording
We are subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which we operate, and consequently, income tax expense is a function of the allocation of taxable income by jurisdiction and the various activities that impact the timing of taxable events. As we operate in the federally illegal cannabis industry, we are subject to the limitations of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”), Section 280E, under which taxpayers are only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to cost of goods sold of cannabis products. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC Section 280E and a higher effective tax rate than most industries. As a result, our effective tax rate can be highly variable and may not necessarily correlate to pre-tax income or loss.

Previous wording
As a result, business conducted within these categories is no longer subject to IRC Section 280E, allowing for full deduction of ordinary and necessary business expenses. Due to the timing of when the final order was issued, we did not record the impact in our income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2026. We continue to monitor guidance from the DOJ and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") to properly record and disclose any impact in our future financial statements.
Current wording
On April 23, 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) issued a final order that placed both FDA-approved drugs containing cannabis and cannabis subject to a qualifying state medical list in Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act. As a result, business conducted within these categories is no longer subject to IRC Section 280E, allowing for full deduction of ordinary and necessary business expenses. Due to the timing of when the final order was issued, we recorded the impact in our income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2026. The impact of this change in 280E applicability was a reduction in income tax expense of approximately $786,000 in each of the three and six months ended
Previous wording
In February 2026, the IRS filed a lien against FSC in connection with an approximate $1 million tax liability for the years 2023 and 2024, which periods were prior to the FSC Acquisition Date. We recorded this liability as part of the allocation of the purchase consideration for FSC. In June 2025, the IRS filed a lien against us in connection with an approximate $6 million 2023 tax liability. We are disputing these assessments through Collection Due Process Hearings and pursuing resolutions, including potential reductions or collection alternatives. While the matters are pending, IRS enforcement is generally stayed. Although the liabilities are fully accrued in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, unfavorable outcomes could materially impact our operations and financial position.
