Management Commentary
“I am incredibly proud of our team for their resilience and tremendous efforts executing an exceptional game plan in 2025,” said George Archos, Verano founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Throughout 2025, we successfully streamlined operations and generated efficiencies, implemented CPG technology and automation upgrades, and launched new product innovation and partnerships that solidified top three share positions1 for Verano brands in every category we compete in. We also strategically positioned Verano ahead of potential U.S. capital markets inclusion by redomiciling the Company from Canada to Nevada, secured what we believe to be one of the industry’s most beneficial credit facilities, reached a favorable settlement to the Vireo litigation, and won a conditional vertical license in Texas as the state prepares for a medical program expansion.”
Archos concluded: “As we await an anticipated final rule from the President’s executive order to expeditiously reschedule cannabis and as the only cannabis business with current or pending operations in Florida, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Texas, we are well-positioned to leverage a number of potential catalysts in what may be a game-changing year for Verano and the industry in 2026.”

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures
Verano uses non-U.S. GAAP financial information to evaluate the performance of the Company. The terms “EBITDA,” “Adjusted EBITDA,” and “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” do not have any standardized meaning prescribed within U.S. GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Accordingly, this non-U.S. GAAP financial information is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The Company calculates EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, amortization, Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization and also excludes certain one-time extraordinary items and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as net income (loss) before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization and exclusion of certain one-time extraordinary items as a percentage of revenue. The calculations of the non-U.S. GAAP financial measures used in this news release and the reconciliations to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial numbers are included in the tables below.
Management believes that this non-U.S. GAAP financial information is useful as a supplement to comparable U.S. GAAP financial information because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance and assists in comparisons with other companies, some of which use similar non-GAAP information to supplement their U.S. GAAP results. Management reviews these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures on a regular basis and uses them, together with financial measures included in the Company’s financial statements, to evaluate and manage the performance of the Company’s operations. These measures should be evaluated only in conjunction with the comparable U.S. GAAP financial numbers reported by the Company.
