[10-Q] Vireo Growth Inc. Quarterly Earnings Report
Vireo Growth Inc. reported sharply larger operations following three acquisitions completed in 2025. Q3 revenue rose to $91.7 million from $25.2 million a year ago, driven by retail sales of $76.0 million and wholesale of $15.7 million. For the first nine months, revenue reached $164.3 million versus $74.4 million last year.
Despite higher sales, the company posted a Q3 net loss of $26.3 million and a nine‑month net loss of $47.7 million. Results included $12.4 million of non‑cash product cost from inventory step‑up and a $8.6 million loss on debt extinguishment tied to refinancing. Operating expenses also increased with integration, stock‑based compensation, and amortization.
Vireo closed the Wholesome, Proper, and Deep Roots deals using all‑share consideration, lifting intangible assets and goodwill to $97.3 million. To refinance and fund the combined platform, the company entered a $120 million First Lien Term Loan and a $33 million Chicago Atlantic Term Loan, and added interest rate swaps. Cash was $97.2 million plus $20.4 million of restricted cash at quarter‑end. Total assets were $678.9 million, with long‑term debt of $131.7 million and convertible debt of $8.2 million. Certain New York, Nevada, and Massachusetts assets were classified as held for sale.

VIREO GROWTH INC.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Description of Business and Summary
Vireo Growth Inc. (“Vireo Growth” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the Alberta Business Corporations Act on November 23, 2004, and continued under the British Columbia Corporations Act on December 9, 2013. The Company's subordinate voting shares are listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) and quoted on the OTCQX under the ticker symbols “VREO” and “VREOF”, respectively.
Vireo Growth was founded in 2014 as a medical cannabis company and has since developed a disciplined, strategically aligned platform within the cannabis industry. The Company’s mission is to provide safe access, quality products, and value to its customers. Vireo Growth operates cultivation, production, and dispensary facilities in Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New York, and Utah. The Company allocates capital and talent to areas expected to generate long-term value and operates with a commitment to accountability, efficiency, and its stakeholders, including customers, employees, shareholders, and the communities it serves.
While marijuana and CBD-infused products are legal under the laws of several U.S. states (with vastly differing restrictions), the United States Federal Controlled Substances Act (the “CSA”) classifies all “marijuana” as a Schedule I drug. Under U.S. federal law, a Schedule I drug or substance has a high potential for abuse, has no accepted medical use in the United States, and lacks accepted safety for use under medical supervision. Recently, some federal officials have attempted to distinguish between medical cannabis and adult-use cannabis by indicating that medical cannabis is necessary while adult-use cannabis is “still a violation of federal law.” At the present time, the distinction between “medical marijuana” and “adult-use marijuana” does not exist under U.S. federal law.
Merger Agreements with Deep Roots, Proper and Wholesome
On December 18, 2024, the Company entered into merger agreements (each a “Merger Agreement” and collectively, the “Merger Agreements”) with each of (i) Deep Roots Holdings, Inc. (“Deep Roots”) (the “Deep Roots Merger”), (ii) Proper Holdings, LLC (“Proper”), NGH Investments, Inc. (“NGH”), and Proper Holdings Management, Inc. (“Proper MSA Newco” and together with Proper and NGH, the “Proper Companies”) (the “Proper Mergers”), and (iii) WholesomeCo, Inc. (“Wholesome”) (the “Wholesome Merger” and collectively with the Deep Roots Merger and the Proper Mergers, the “Mergers” and each, a “Merger”). Each Merger was an all-share transaction whereby, at the closing of each Merger, (i) a new wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company merged with and into Deep Roots, (ii) a new wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company merged with and into Wholesome, and (iii) the Proper Companies each merged with and into new wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. Each of the Deep Roots Merger, the Proper Mergers and Wholesome Merger closed during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. See Note 3 “Business Combinations and Dispositions” for additional information.

Net loss per share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing reported net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reported period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock of the Company during the reporting period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares and the number of potential dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Potential dilutive common share equivalents consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of vested share options and the incremental shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes. Potential dilutive common share equivalents consist of stock options, warrants, and restricted stock units (“RSUs”).
In computing diluted earnings per share, common share equivalents are not considered in periods in which a net loss is reported, as the inclusion of the common share equivalents would be anti-dilutive.

Wholesome
On May 12, 2025, the Company closed the Wholesome Merger contemplated by the Wholesome Merger Agreement. The Company analyzed the acquisition under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business and determined that the Wholesome Merger should be accounted for as a business combination. Goodwill represents the premium the Company paid over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The goodwill arising from the Wholesome Merger primarily consists of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of the Company and Wholesome, including growing the Company's customer base, acquiring assembled workforces, and expanding its presence in new and existing markets.

Purchase Price Allocations
The above purchase price allocations are provisional specifically for determination of any deferred tax impact, valuation of contingent consideration, fair value of assets and liabilities including measurement of working capital adjustments pending the adjustment periods defined within the acquisition transaction agreements.
The Company will continue to examine the above during the measurement period and adjustments will be made based on facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date once subsequently finalized and within the measurement period.
Assets Held for Sale
As of September 30, 2025, the Company identified property and equipment, deposits, and lease assets and liabilities associated with the businesses in New York, Nevada, and Massachusetts with carrying amounts that are expected to be recovered principally through sale or disposal rather than through continuing use. The Company believes the sale of these assets and liabilities is highly probable, they can be sold in their immediate condition, and the sales are expected to occur within the next twelve months. As such, these assets and liabilities have been classified as “held for sale.” Management does not believe these divestitures represent a strategic shift that has or will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated operations and financial results, and as such, none of these divestitures are considered a discontinued operation. The carrying value of these net assets did not exceed fair value less expected cost to sell, and as such, the Company recorded

4. Fair Value Measurements
The Company complies with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
Items measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis
The Company’s non-financial assets, such as prepayments and other current assets, long lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets, are measured at fair value when there is an indicator of impairment and are recorded at fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized. No indicators of impairment existed as of September 30, 2025, and therefore
The carrying value of the Company’s marketable securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature, and the carrying value of notes receivable, long-term debt, and convertible debt approximates fair value as they bear a market rate of interest.
The carrying value of the Company’s derivative liabilities utilize Level 2 inputs given the inputs are indirectly observable but not quoted for identical contracts.
The carrying value of the Company’s warrants held and contingent consideration utilize Level 3 inputs given there is no market activity for the asset. The inputs used are further described in Note 18.
5. Accounts Receivable

In connection with the closing of the Mergers, the Company recorded the acquired inventories at their estimated fair values in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. Fair value represents the estimated selling price of the acquired inventory, less the expected costs to sell the inventory.
The estimated fair value of the inventory exceeded cost, resulting in a fair value step-up adjustment to acquired inventories totaling $
Inventory is written down for any obsolescence, spoilage and excess inventory or when the net realizable value of inventory is less than the carrying value. Inventory valuation adjustments included in cost of sales on the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were comprised of the following:

The swaps are designated as a cash flow hedge of forecasted variable interest payments under ASC 815-30. Hedge effectiveness is assessed prospectively and retrospectively using the hypothetical derivative method, and the hedge has been deemed highly effective since inception.
These derivative instruments are recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet with the changes in fair value of the derivative instruments that qualify as effective hedges being recorded as other income on the statement of loss and comprehensive loss for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2025. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded other expense of $

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) provides an employee retention credit (“CARES Employee Retention Credit”), which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes of up to $5,000 per employee for eligible employers. The CARES Employee Retention Credit was initially equal to 50% of qualified wages paid to employees during a quarter, capped at $10,000 of qualified wages per employee through December 31, 2020. Additional relief provisions were later passed by the United States government, which extended and slightly expanded the qualified wage caps on these credits through December 31, 2021. Based on these additional provisions, the CARES Employee Retention Credit is now equal to 70% of qualified wages paid to employees during a quarter, and the limit on qualified wages per employee has been increased to $10,000 of qualified wages per quarter. The Company applied for and received a CARES Employee Retention Credit equal to $

19. Segment Reporting
The Company utilized the guidance in ASC 280 to determine how many reportable segments the Company has. The Company considered various factors including, but not limited to, the Company’s products and services, production processes, customers, regulatory environment, and business geography, as well as the degree to which the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates the Company’s performance and allocates resources. The Company determined that cannabis is its
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer serves as the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker assesses performance for the cannabis segment and decides how to allocate resources based on operating profit and net income that also is reported on the statement of net loss and comprehensive loss as consolidated net income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet total as consolidated assets. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker uses net income to evaluate income generated from segment assets in deciding the appropriate capital allocation strategy. A comparison of budgeted results to actual results is also used by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (as defined under U.S. GAAP) to assess business performance.
The Company’s cannabis segment cultivates, processes and distributes medical and adult-use cannabis products in a variety of formats, as well as related accessories, in the United States. Revenue is derived from the sale of these products in the United States, and the assets used to produce these products are also held in the United States. The accounting policy for recording revenue, and all other accounting policies, are the same as those described in Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”

21. Financial Instruments
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash, and accounts receivable. A small portion of cash is held on hand, from which management believes the risk of loss is remote. Receivables relate primarily to wholesale sales. The Company does not have significant credit risk with respect to customers. The Company’s maximum credit risk exposure is equivalent to the carrying value of these instruments. The Company has been granted licenses pursuant to the laws of the states of Maryland, Minnesota, and New York with respect to cultivating, processing, and/or distributing marijuana. Presently, this industry is illegal under United States federal law. The Company has adhered, and intends to continue to adhere, strictly to the applicable state statutes in its operations.
30
Table of Contents
Liquidity risk
The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s financial liabilities consist of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, debt and convertible debt. The Company manages liquidity risk by reviewing its capital requirements on an ongoing basis. Historically, the Company’s main source of funding has been additional funding from investors and debt issuances. The Company’s access to financing is always uncertain. There can be no assurance of continued access to significant equity financing.
Legal Risk
Vireo Growth operates in the United States. The U.S. federal government regulates drugs through the CSA, which places controlled substances, including cannabis, in a schedule. Cannabis is classified as a Schedule I drug. Under U.S. federal law, a Schedule I drug or substance has a high potential for abuse, has no accepted medical use in the U.S., and lacks accepted safety for use under medical supervision. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not approved marijuana as a safe and effective drug for any indication. In the U.S., marijuana is largely regulated at the state level. State laws regulating cannabis are in direct conflict with the federal CSA, which makes cannabis use and possession federally illegal.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign currency rates. Given the Company’s financial transactions are rarely denominated in a foreign currency, there is minimal foreign currency risk exposure.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company currently carries variable interest-bearing debt subject to fluctuations in the United States Prime rate and Secured Overnight Financing Rate. A change of 100 basis points in interest rates during the three months ended September 30, 2025, would have resulted in a corresponding change in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss of $

On October 10, 2025, Vireo Health of Colorado, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Vireo Growth entered into a restructuring support agreement (the “RSA”) with Medicine Man Technologies, Inc. d/b/a Schwazze, a Nevada corporation (“Schwazze”), certain of Schwazze’s subsidiaries, the beneficial holders (the “Star Bud Holders”) of certain seller notes (the “Star Bud Notes”) secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all the assets owned by SBUD LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Schwazze, and certain other parties.
As of October 10, 2025, the Company holds a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Schwazze’s
The RSA provides that the Asset Sale will be effected by way of public disposition of collateral pursuant to §§ 9-610 and 9-611 of the Uniform Commercial Code to be conducted by the collateral agent for the Senior Secured Notes. The collateral agent under the indenture (the “Indenture”) governing the Senior Secured Notes, acting at the direction of the Company, will credit bid at the Asset Sale a principal amount of Senior Secured Notes to be determined by the Company (the “Credit Bid”). However, the Asset Sale will be open to other bidders and is therefore subject to competing bids which may be higher than the Credit Bid. If the Credit Bid is the winning bid at the Asset Sale, Schwazze will enter into an asset purchase agreement with NewCo pursuant to which, subject to receipt of regulatory approvals and other closing conditions, the assets subject to the Asset Sale will be transferred to NewCo in consideration for an assumption by NewCo of certain specified liabilities of Schwazze and a discharge of the Senior Secured Notes included in the Credit Bid. In connection with the Liquidation, which will follow the Asset Sale, any available net cash proceeds in excess of amounts needed to cover costs of the Asset Sale and Liquidation will be distributed to holders of claims and equity interests in Schwazze in accordance with their relative priority under applicable law, whereby excess proceeds (if any) would be paid, first, to secured claims (including any portion of the Senior Secured Notes not included in the Credit Bid), second to unsecured claims, third, to preferred stockholders of Schwazze, and, fourth, to common stockholders of Schwazze. Pursuant to the RSA, certain parties have agreed to provide NewCo with up to approximately $
Vireo Growth has been involved in an action pending in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against Verano following Verano’s repudiation of the Arrangement Agreement with the Company dated January 31, 2022.

Overview of the Company
Vireo Growth was founded in 2014 as a medical cannabis company and has since developed a disciplined, strategically aligned platform within the cannabis industry. The Company’s mission is to provide safe access, quality products, and value to its customers. Vireo Growth operates cultivation, production, and dispensary facilities in Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New York, and Utah. The Company allocates capital and talent to areas expected to generate long-term value and operates with a commitment to accountability, efficiency, and its stakeholders, including customers, employees, shareholders, and the communities it serves.
Operating Segment
We report our operating results in one business segment: the cultivation, production, and sale of cannabis. We cultivate, manufacture, and distribute cannabis products to third parties in wholesale markets and cultivate, manufacture, and sell cannabis products directly to approved patients and adult-use-customers in our owned or operated retail stores.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company had operating revenue in six states: Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Missouri, Nevada, and Utah. Retail revenues during the three and nine months ended September

Merger Agreements with Deep Roots, Proper and Wholesome
On December 18, 2024, we entered into merger agreements (each a “Merger Agreement” and collectively, the “Merger Agreements”) with each of (i) Deep Roots Holdings, Inc. (“Deep Roots”) (the “Deep Roots Merger”), (ii) Proper Holdings, LLC (“Proper”), NGH Investments, Inc. (“NGH”), and Proper Holdings Management, Inc. (“Proper MSA Newco” and together with NGH and Proper, the “Proper Companies”) (the “Proper Mergers”), and (iii) WholesomeCo, Inc. (“Wholesome”) (the “Wholesome Merger” and collectively with the Deep Roots Merger and the Proper Mergers, the “Mergers” and each, a “Merger”). Each Merger was an all-share transaction whereby, at the closing of each Merger, (i) a new wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company merged with and into Deep Roots, (ii) a new wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company merged with and into Wholesome, and (ii) the Proper Companies each merged with and into new wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. None of the Mergers were contingent upon the completion of any of the other Mergers.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, all of the Mergers closed. More specifically, the Wholesome Merger closed on May 12, 2025, the Proper Mergers closed on June 5, 2025, and the Deep Roots Merger closed on June 6, 2025.
Three months ended September 30, 2025, Compared to Three months ended September 30, 2024
Revenue
We derived our revenue from cultivating, processing, and distributing cannabis products through our 36 dispensaries in six states and our wholesale sales to third parties in six states. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, 83% of our revenue was generated from retail dispensaries and 17% from the wholesale business. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, 78% of our revenue was generated from retail business and 22% from wholesale business.
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, Minnesota operations contributed approximately 13% of revenues, New York contributed 7%, Maryland contributed 11%, Utah contributed 15%, Nevada contributed 27%, and Missouri contributed 27%. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, Minnesota operations contributed approximately 46% of revenues, New York contributed 11%, and Maryland contributed 43%.
Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $91,655,155, an increase of $66,489,812 or 264% compared to revenue of $25,165,343 for the three-months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to the closing of the Mergers resulting in the addition revenues from our operations in Utah, Nevada, and Missouri.
Retail revenue for the three months ended September 30 2025, was $75,951,983 an increase of $56,211,196 or 285% compared to retail revenue of $19,740,787 for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit
Gross profit reflects total net revenue less cost of sales. Cost of sales represents the costs attributable to producing bulk materials and finished goods, which includes direct materials, labor, and certain indirect costs such as depreciation, insurance, utilities and valuation adjustments. Cannabis costs are affected by various state regulations that limit the sourcing and procurement of cannabis product, which may create fluctuations in gross profit over comparative periods as the regulatory environment changes.
Cost of sales are determined from costs related to the cultivation and processing of cannabis and cannabis-derived products as well as the cost of finished goods inventory purchased from third parties and valuation adjustments.
Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $54,272,156, an increase of $41,430,783 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, of $12,841,373. The increase in cost of sales was driven by the increase in revenues.
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $37,382,999, representing a gross margin of 41%. In comparison, gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was $12,323,970 or a 49% gross margin. The increase in gross profit was driven by the closing of the Mergers, which added the gross profit of Deep Roots, Proper, and Wholesome. The decrease in gross margin is primarily attributable to the amortization of the non-cash inventory fair value step initially recognized in connection with the closing of the Mergers. Excluding this amortization of $12,397,641 from the gross profit figure of $37,382,999 would have resulted in gross profit of $49,780,640 and gross margin of approximately 54% for the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Total Expenses
Total expenses other than the cost of sales consist of selling costs to support customer relationships, marketing, and branding activities. They also include a significant investment in the corporate infrastructure required to support ongoing business.
Selling costs generally correlate to revenue. In the short-term as a percentage of sales, we expect selling costs to remain relatively flat. However, as anticipated positive regulatory developments in our core markets occur, we expect selling costs as a percentage of sales to decrease via growth in our retail and wholesale channels.
General and administrative expenses also include costs incurred at the corporate offices, primarily related to personnel costs, including salaries, benefits, and other professional service costs, as well as corporate insurance, legal and professional fees associated with being a publicly traded company. We expect general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales to decrease as we realize revenue growth both organically and through anticipated positive regulatory developments in our core markets.
Total expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025, were $36,574,043 an increase of $28,101,520 compared to total expenses of $8,472,523 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in total expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in transaction expenses associated with the Mergers, an increase in stock-based compensation expense, and the addition of the operating expenses of Deep Roots, Proper, and Wholesome.

This change was primarily attributable to the loss on extinguishment of existing debt of $8,627,647, which was recorded in connection with the First Lien Term Loan and Chicago Atlantic Term Loan.
Provision for Income Taxes
Income tax expense is recognized based on the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at year-end.

Upon maturity of the First Lien Term Loan on July 31, 2028, the remaining outstanding principal amount of the First Lien Term Loan, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, will be due and payable in full. The First Lien Term Loan bears interest at the one-month Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (subject to a 3% floor) plus 4% per annum. The First Lien Term Loan shall, at the Administrative Agent’s option, convert to a Prime Rate Loan at the end of the First Lien Term Loan’s current one-month interest period if an event of default shall occur and be continuing, at which time an additional 2% of default interest will also be applicable to the First Lien Term Loan.

All unpaid and accrued interest is due and payable on the maturity date of October 2, 2028, with an option to extend for an additional year subject to a 1% extension fee of all loans advanced by lenders under the Chicago Atlantic Term Loan. The Chicago Atlantic Term Loan bears interest at the Prime Rate (subject to a 7.5% floor) plus 5.5% per annum.
The First Lien Term Loan is secured by a perfected first priority security interest in all assets and future assets of the Company. The Chicago Atlantic Term Loan is secured by a second priority security interest in and lien on all existing assets and future assets of the Company.
The proceeds from the First Lien Term Loan and Chicago Atlantic Term Loan were used to retire all of the Company’s existing debt obligations, including the debt arising from acquisitions, including the Mergers. In connection with the retirement of the existing debt, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of $8,627,647, which is included in other expense on the statement of loss and comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

On November 1, 2024, the Company entered into the Joinder and Tenth Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Tenth Amendment”). The Tenth Amendment provides a convertible note facility (the “Convertible Notes”) with a maximum principal amount of $10,000,000. The Convertible Notes mature on November 1, 2027, have a cash interest rate of 12.0% per year, and are convertible into the Company’s SVSs at an amount determined by dividing the outstanding principal amount, plus all accrued but unpaid interest on the Convertible Notes on the date of such conversion, by a conversion price of $0.625. The Company incurred $145,717 in financing costs in connection with the signing of the Tenth Amendment.
On July 7, 2025, the Company retired the Convertible Notes, and issued a $10 million convertible note (the “New Convertible Notes”) to Chicago Atlantic Opportunity Finance, LLC, also with a second priority interest, that matures on October 2, 2028 with an option to extend for an additional year subject to a 1% extension fee of all Chicago Atlantic loans advanced, has a cash interest rate of Prime Rate (subject to a 7.5% floor) plus 5.0% per year, and is convertible into that number of the Company’s subordinate voting shares determined by dividing the outstanding principal amount plus all accrued but unpaid interest on the convertible notes on the date of such conversion by a conversion price of $0.625.

Cash Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $14.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $11.1 million as compared to $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily attributed to an increase in assets held for sale, payment of approximately $14 million of accrued expenses assumed in the Mergers including distributions to former stockholders of Deep Roots, Proper, and Wholesome, and increased transaction costs associated with the Mergers, and approximately $3.7 million of cash debt extinguishment costs.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was $18.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $23.7 million compared to net cash used in investing activities of $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to the cash acquired through the closing of the Mergers during the nine-months ended September 30, 2025, partially offset by increased purchases of property, plant, and equipment.
Cash Used in Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $22.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a change of $22.1 million as compared to $0.6 million provided by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The change was principally due to the receipt of proceeds from the First Lien Term Loan and Chicago Atlantic Term Loan.
Lease Transactions
As of September 30, 2025, we are party to lease agreements for the use of buildings used in the cultivation, production and/or sales of cannabis products in Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Missouri, Nevada, and Utah.
The lease agreements for all of the retail spaces used for our dispensary operations are with third-party landlords and the remaining durations range from one to ten years. These agreements are short-term facility leases that require us to make monthly rent payments and fund common area costs, utilities and maintenance. In some cases, we have received tenant
41
Table of Contents
improvement funds to assist in the buildout of the spaces to meet our operating needs. As of September 30, 2025, we operated 36 retail locations secured under these agreements.
We also entered into sale and leaseback arrangements for our cultivation and processing facilities in Minnesota and New York with a special-purpose real estate investment trust. These leases are long-term agreements that provide, among other things, funds to make certain improvements to the properties that will significantly enhance the production capacity and operational efficiency of the facilities.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Risks Related to the RSA, Credit Bid and Asset Sale
There can be no assurance that the Company’s Credit Bid will be the winning bid in the Asset Sale.
The RSA between the Company and Schwazze sets forth a plan to restructure the operations and capital structure of Schwazze and its subsidiaries through a serious of transactions including the Asset Sale, which will be effected by way of a UCC public disposition of collateral. The Company intends to credit bid at the Asset Sale; however, given that the Asset Sale is open to other bidders and competing bids, the Company’s Credit Bid may not be the winning bid, which would frustrate the aims of the RSA and prevent the Company from acquiring the assets of Schwazze that are the subject of the Asset Sale, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
There can be no assurance that all of the conditions precedent to closing of the Asset Sale will be satisfied.
If the Company’s Credit Bid is successful, the completion of the Asset Sale will be subject to a number of conditions precedent, some of which are outside of our control. There can be no certainty, nor can we provide any assurance, that all conditions precedent to the Asset Sale will be satisfied or waived, or, if satisfied or waived, when they will be satisfied or waived and, accordingly, the Asset Sale may not be timely completed or completed at all. If the Asset Sale is not completed, the market price of our Shares may be adversely affected.
The required regulatory approvals may not be obtained or, if obtained, may not be obtained on a favorable basis.
To complete the acquisition of the Schwazze assets in the Asset Sale, the Company and Schwazze must make certain filings with and obtain certain consents and approvals from various governmental and regulatory authorities. The required regulatory approvals have not been obtained yet. The regulatory approval processes may take a lengthy period of time to complete, which could delay completion of the Asset Sale. If obtained, the required regulatory approvals may be conditioned, with the conditions imposed by the applicable governmental entity not being acceptable to either the Company or Schwazze, or, if acceptable, not being on terms that are favorable to the resulting company. There can be no assurance as to the outcome of the regulatory approval processes, including the undertakings and conditions that may be required for approval or whether the required regulatory approvals will be obtained. If not obtained, or if obtained on terms that are not satisfactory to either the Company or Schwazze, the Asset Sale may not be completed.
There can be no assurance that the RSA will not be terminated by the Company or Schwazze in certain circumstances.
Each of the Company and Schwazze has the right, in certain circumstances, to terminate the RSA. Accordingly, there can be no certainty, nor can we provide any assurance that the RSA will not be terminated by either of the Company or Schwazze prior to the completion of the Asset Sale. Any termination will result in the failure to realize the expected benefits of the Asset Sale in respect of the operations and business of the Company.
The uncertainty surrounding the Asset Sale could negatively impact Vireo's current and future operations, financial condition and prospects.
As the Asset Sale is dependent upon receipt, among other things, of the required regulatory approvals and satisfaction of certain other conditions, the Asset Sale’s completion is uncertain. If the Asset Sale is not completed for any reason, there are risks that the announcement of the Asset Sale and the dedication of Vireo's resources to the completion thereof could have a negative impact on its relationships with its stakeholders and could negatively impact current and future operations, financial condition and prospects of Vireo. In addition, Vireo has, and will continue to, incur significant transaction expenses in connection with the Asset Sale, regardless of whether the Asset Sale is completed.

If the Company is not successful with its Credit Bid and able to acquire the assets that are the subject of the Asset Sale, the Company will not benefit from the expenses incurred in the pursuit thereof.
There is no assurance that the Company will successfully acquire the assets in the Asset Sale. If the Company does not acquire the assets in the Asset Sale, the Company will have incurred substantial expenses for which no ultimate benefit will have been received. The Company has incurred out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the RSA and Asset Sale, much of which will be incurred even if the Company does not acquire the assets in the Asset Sale.
