Las Vegas, Nevada – August 12, 2026 – Planet 13 Holdings Inc. (CSE: PLTH) (OTCQX: PLNH) (“Planet 13” or the “Company”), a leading vertically-integrated multi-state cannabis company, today announced its financial results for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026. Planet 13’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).
"Q2 delivered on the expectations we set last quarter. Revenue grew 8.4% sequentially and gross margin improved as our cost actions and California exit took effect. Florida revenue increased 17.1% quarter over quarter, demonstrating our progress to stabilize and strengthen the business in that state,” said Larry Scheffler, Co-CEO of Planet 13.
"These results reflect the strength of the platform our team built, but they also reflect the reality, that the market increasingly rewards scale, greater purchasing power, broader distribution and the balance sheet to absorb continued price compression. As previously announced, our definitive merger agreement with Vireo Growth gives Planet 13 stockholders a stake in a larger, more efficient combined company. Our focus remains on running the business well and executing a smooth path to closing for our shareholders, employees, patients and customers,” said Bob Groesbeck, Co-CEO of Planet 13.
Financial Highlights – Q2 – 2026
Operating Results
All comparisons below are to the quarter ended June 30, 2025, unless otherwise noted
|
● |
Revenue was $22.9 million as compared to $26.9 million, a decrease of 14.9%. The decrease in sales was driven by the exit of California retail and wholesale and continued price compression in Nevada and Florida. |
|
● |
Gross profit was $12.3 million or 53.9% as compared to $11.7 million or 43.4%. The higher gross margin was driven by exiting California, company-wide cost and procurement initiatives, and a $1.0 million reduction in the Company's inventory reserve for Florida distillate as increased Florida sales reduced excess inventory on hand. Excluding the reserve adjustment, gross margin was 49.5%. |
|
● |
Total expenses were $15.2 million as compared to $18.5 million, a decrease of 17.7%. Total expenses were down, driven by company-wide cost-cutting initiatives. |
|
● |
Net loss of $5.6 million as compared to a net loss of $13.3 million. |
|
● |
Adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.5 million as compared to Adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.4 million. Better Adjusted EBITDA performance was driven by better gross margins and cost-cutting initiatives across the company(1). |
(1) The Company discloses adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to provide investors with insight into the performance of the Company. This measure is not defined under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to the financial measures provided by the Company in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
There are financial measures included in this press release that are not in accordance with GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures and metrics presented by other publicly traded companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as supplemental to, and not a substitute for, our reported financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company includes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because it believes certain investors use these measures and metrics as a means of assessing financial performance. EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA before share-based compensation, the change in fair value of warrants and one-time non-recurring expenses.
