Management Commentary

“I am proud of the progress we made during the quarter to strengthen our foundation and advance key priorities, including streamlining our operations and improving margins,” said George Archos, Verano Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Throughout the quarter, we generated more efficient and productive cultivation yields, delivered new product innovation, and improved retail performance in several key markets.”

Archos concluded: “As we focus on improving our wholesale business and accounts receivable strategy, given our pipeline of new store openings and product innovation, and our ongoing efficiency efforts, we anticipate a stronger second half of 2025 for Verano, and look forward to advancing key initiatives throughout the remainder of the year.”

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Overview

Revenues, net of discounts, for the second quarter 2025 were $202 million, down from $222 million for the second quarter of 2024, and down from $210 million for the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in revenue for the second quarter 2025 compared to the second quarter 2024 was driven primarily by ongoing price compression, competition, and impacts from the Company's wholesale accounts receivable strategy, which was partially offset by positive results in Ohio, strong sales in Florida, and contributions from operations acquired from The Cannabist Company Holdings Inc. (“Cannabist”) in the third quarter of 2024.

Gross profit for the second quarter 2025 was $113 million or 56% of revenue, down from $114 million or 51% of revenue for the second quarter 2024, and up from $100 million or 47% of revenue for the first quarter 2025. The decrease in gross profit for the second quarter 2025 compared to the second quarter 2024 was due to overall top line revenue declines and increased promotional activity, partially offset by more efficient harvests from expanded cultivation facilities.

SG&A expenses for the second quarter 2025 were $86 million or 43% of revenue, down from $87 million or 39% of revenue for the second quarter 2024, and up from $85 million or 40% of revenue for the first quarter 2025. The decrease in SG&A expenses for the second quarter 2025 compared to the second quarter 2024 was driven primarily by a decrease in depreciation and amortization and ongoing efficiencies generated across the business.

Net loss for the second quarter 2025 was $(19) million or (9)% of revenue, versus $(22) million or (10)% of revenue in the second quarter 2024. The decrease in net loss for the second quarter 2025 compared to the second quarter 2024 was primarily driven by an overall decrease in other income (expense), partially offset by an increase in the provision for income taxes compared to the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA1 for the second quarter 2025 was $66 million or 33% of revenue.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the second quarter 2025 was $11 million, up from $8 million for the second quarter 2024, which was primarily attributable to operational efficiencies and a decrease in income tax payments made compared to the prior year period.

Capital expenditures for the second quarter 2025 were $10 million, down from $19 million for the second quarter 2024, and down from $14 million in the first quarter 2025. The decrease in capital expenditures was driven by achieving greater efficiencies across the Company's cultivation and production facilities.

Second Quarter 2025 Operational Highlights

  • Promoted and appointed Richard Tarapchak as Chief Financial Officer.
  • Expanded the Company's retail footprint by opening the following new dispensaries:
    • MÜV New Smyrna Beach, the Company's 81st dispensary in Florida; and

_________________________

1Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue (“Adjusted EBITDA Margin”) are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. Each is derived from EBITDA, another non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, and is defined in this news release in the section below titled “Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures.” The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss) and the most directly comparable measure to Adjusted EBITDA Margin is net income (loss) as a percentage of revenue (“net income (loss) margin”). The reconciliation of (i) Adjusted EBITDA to U.S. GAAP net income (loss) and (ii) Adjusted EBITDA Margin to net income (loss) margin is set forth below in the tables included in this news release.

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, and amortization and 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.
