- Jushi-branded product sales grew to
56% of total retail revenue in Q1 2025 across the Company’s five vertical markets. - Introduced 391 new unique SKUs to the product portfolio, expanding offerings throughout the Company’s vertical footprint, including flower, pre-rolls, concentrates, and edibles. This also included the successful launch of Jushi’s newest high-demand premium flower brand, Flower Foundry, in Virginia.
- Continued execution of the Company’s 7 and 7 retail-first expansion strategy, with the first phase expected to be completed by the end of the third quarter of 2025 (“Q3 2025”) with a new store opening in Parma, Ohio. The Parma, OH dispensary will be operated under a management services agreement until the Company's change of ownership application receives applicable regulatory approvals. The second phase is also underway, with two new locations planned in New Jersey and an additional Ohio location expected to open by year-end, subject to regulatory approvals.
- Expanded Ohio retail presence with the opening of a new Beyond Hello™ location in Warren, which is currently operated by the Company under a management services agreement, and completed the previously announced acquisitions of the Company’s dispensaries in Oxford and Toledo, which were previously operating under management services agreements.
- Relocated and opened a dispensary in Linwood, Pennsylvania, marking Jushi’s 18th Beyond Hello™ dispensary in the state.
- Enhanced cash position through the factoring of Employee Retention Credit (ERC) refund claims, resulting in approximately
$5.1 million in net cash proceeds. The Company also retained the right to a share of any interest earned on those ERC claims. - Received approximately
$2.2 million of refunds from non-factored claims along with$0.5 million of related interest. - Issued
12% second lien notes totaling approximately US$5.1 million , maturing in December 2026, with net cash proceeds of US$4.6 million .
Post Quarter-End Developments
- Opened a Beyond Hello™ dispensary in Mansfield, Ohio, on April 19, 2025, marking the Company’s fifth location in the state, which is currently operating by the Company under a management services agreement.
- In April 2025, an additional
$0.8 million of factored ERC claims were paid and the Company received$0.1 million of interest on these claims.
Management Commentary
“Over the first quarter, we focused on strengthening our operations within our key vertical markets, while also taking strategic actions to enhance our capital structure and support ongoing expansion initiatives,” said Jim Cacioppo, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman, and Founder of Jushi. “Our ongoing cost optimization efforts, combined with improved liquidity from strategic transactions during the quarter – such as the factoring of certain ERC claims and issuance of second lien notes – have fortified our balance sheet and provided greater strategic agility as we scale within the rapidly evolving industry backdrop. The sequential gains in Adjusted EBITDA and gross margin from the fourth quarter of 2024 ("Q4 2024") underscore the progress of our initiatives to improve efficiencies across our grower-processor footprint and maintain consistent product output, helping to offset the impact from price compression and support both profitability and topline growth.”
Mr. Cacioppo continued, “Our 7 and 7 retail-first expansion strategy continues to make strong headway, with the first phase nearing completion as we anticipate the opening of our seventh Beyond Hello™ store from the initial pipeline in Parma, Ohio, by the end of Q3 2025. Phase two is also well underway, with two additional stores expected to open in New Jersey and one in Ohio by year end. Since launching the expansion program in Q4 2024, we anticipate opening a total of eight to ten new dispensaries by the end of 2025 – just one year from the program’s inception. As part of our strategic approach to retail expansion, we are targeting growth in key markets such as Illinois, New Jersey and Ohio, while continuing to evaluate additional high-opportunity regions across the country. With the support of our strong grower-processor footprint and evolving product portfolio, we are well-positioned to serve our growing network of Beyond Hello™ dispensaries and to deliver long-term value and sustained growth for our customers, patients, and shareholders.”

UNAUDITED RECONCILIATION OF NET INCOME (LOSS) TO ADJUSTED EBITDA
and CALCULATION OF ADJUSTED EBITDA MARGIN
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
In addition to providing financial measurements based on GAAP, we provide additional financial metrics that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP. We use non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision making, for planning and forecasting purposes and to evaluate our financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin (each as defined below). We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect our ongoing business by excluding the effects of expenses that are not reflective of our operating business performance and allow for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in our business. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies. As there are no standardized methods of calculating these non-GAAP measures, our methods may differ from those used by others, and accordingly, the use of these measures may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by others, thus limiting their usefulness. Accordingly, these non-GAAP measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are financial measures that are not defined under GAAP. We define EBITDA as net income (loss), or “earnings”, before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before: (i) non-cash share-based compensation expense; (ii) inventory-related adjustments; (iii) fair value changes in derivatives; (iv) other (income)/expense items; (v) transaction costs; (vi) asset impairment; and (vii) gain/loss on debt extinguishment. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total revenue. These financial measures are metrics that have been adjusted from the GAAP net income (loss) measure in an effort to provide readers with a normalized metric in making comparisons more meaningful across the cannabis industry, as well as to remove non-recurring, irregular and one-time items that may otherwise distort the GAAP net income measure. Other companies in our industry may calculate this measure differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
