High Tide Inc.

(a) Fair value

The Company classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

-Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

-Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

-Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months and nine months ended July 31, 2026 and 2025

(Stated — In thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts)

The Company assessed that the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, accounts payable, interest bearing loans and borrowings, current portion of notes payable, and current portion of lease liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value:

-Marketable securities (excluding long-term GICs) are determined based on level 1 inputs, as the prices for the marketable securities are quoted in public exchanges.

-The Secured Debentures are evaluated by the Company based on level 2 inputs such as the effective interest rate and the market rates of comparable securities. The Secured Debentures are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost and at each reporting period accretion incurred in the period is recorded to transaction costs in the condensed interim consolidated statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

-The Junior Secured Convertible Loan is evaluated by the Company based on level 2 inputs such as the effective interest rate and the market rates of comparable securities. The Loan is initially recorded at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost, and at each reporting period, accretion incurred during the period is recorded in the consolidated statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). The Warrants issued with the Junior Secured Convertible Loan are valued by the Company based on level 3 inputs and the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model for financial instruments (i.e. spot price determined as 30-day VWAP, risk-free rate as per the Bank of Canada, stock price volatility). A 1% change in expected volatility would change the warrant liability by approximately $83.
