Rhea-AI Filing Summary

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.

Insights

Scale up via acquisitions, but losses reflect integration and refinancing costs.

Vireo Growth materially increased scale after closing the Wholesome, Proper, and Deep Roots transactions. Q3 revenue reached $91.7M, largely retail-driven, while nine-month revenue totaled $164.3M. The business also recognized inventory step-up amortization of $12.4M in Q3, which reduced gross profit.

Debt was reset with a $120M First Lien Term Loan and a $33M Chicago Atlantic Term Loan effective July 2025, producing an extinguishment loss of $8.6M. The company added interest rate swaps at a fixed 3.70% pay leg to hedge SOFR exposure.

Cash and restricted cash totaled $117.5M at quarter end, supporting integration and operations. Assets in New York, Nevada, and Massachusetts were classified as held for sale; actual timing is not disclosed in the excerpt. Subsequent filings may provide progress on divestitures and earnout/contingent consideration remeasurement.

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. The Company recorded a net loss for each of the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, as presented in these financial statements, and as such there is no difference between the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share for these periods.

The anti-dilutive shares outstanding for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, were as follows:

3. Business Combinations and Dispositions

Acquisitions

On December 18, 2024, the Company, entered into Merger Agreements with respect to the Mergers. Each Merger was an all-share transaction whereby, at the closing of each applicable Merger, (i) a new wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company

Table of Contents

merged with and into Deep Roots, (ii) a new wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company merged with and into Wholesome, and (iii) the Proper entities each merged with and into new wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.

The consideration paid to acquire each of Deep Roots, Proper and Wholesome was based, in each case, in part, on an estimated multiple of a 2024 “Closing EBITDA,” which was pro forma for pending acquisitions, planned new retail openings and expansion projects, and a US$0.52 share reference price for the Company’s subordinate voting shares (each subordinate voting share an “SVS” and collectively, the “SVSs”).

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreements, former stockholders of Proper, Wholesome, and certain former stockholders of Deep Roots may qualify for earnout payments made with the Company’s SVSs following December 31, 2026, based on each target’s adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) (as defined in the applicable Merger Agreement) growth compared to such target’s Closing EBITDA (as defined in the applicable Merger Agreement) (plus, with respect to Deep Roots, $1,000,000 in EBITDA attributed to a new retail location) (at a 4x multiple), adjusted for incremental debt and certain other matters, respectively, and paid out using a share price for the Company’s SVSs of the higher of US$1.05 or the 20-day volume weighted average price of the Company’s SVSs on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”), converted to United States Dollars based on the average exchange rate posted by the Bank of Canada as of the end of each trading day during such 20-day period, as reported by Bloomberg Finance L.P. (the “VWAP”) as of December 31, 2026. The Closing EBITDA for Deep Roots, Proper and Wholesome are US$30.0 million, US$31.0 million, and US$16.0 million, respectively. EBITDA growth is defined as the increase between the Closing EBITDA and the higher of 2026 Adjusted EBITDA or the trailing nine-month annualized Adjusted EBITDA as of immediately prior to December 31, 2026. In no event shall the number of earnout shares issued under each Merger Agreement exceed the number of shares issued as closing merger consideration under each Merger Agreement.

 

Each of the Merger Agreements provides for the clawback of up to 50% of the upfront merger consideration (excluding, in the case of Proper and Wholesome, the amounts described in the next paragraph that are attributable to Arches, as defined below) on December 31, 2026, if (1) for Wholesome and Deep Roots, (a) 2026 Adjusted EBITDA underperforms 96.5% of the Closing EBITDA, and (b) the retail revenue market share or EBITDA margin for 2026 is less (or lower) than 2024 and (c) the 20-day VWAP as of immediately prior to December 31, 2026 is greater than US$1.05 per share, and (2) for Proper, 2026 Adjusted EBITDA underperforms 96.5% of the Closing EBITDA. The amount of shares subject to a clawback would be equal to the Acquisition Multiple (as defined in each Merger Agreement) of 4.175 for each of Deep Roots, Proper and Wholesome, respectively, multiplied by the EBITDA shortfall, and subject to certain other adjustments for incremental debt and certain other matters, set forth in the applicable Merger Agreement, divided by US$0.52 per share.

In connection with the Merger Agreement with Wholesome (the “Wholesome Merger Agreement”) and the Merger Agreement with Proper (the “Proper Merger Agreement”), the Company will include in the stock merger consideration calculation an amount equal to (i) US$11,860,800 for Wholesome and (ii) US$2,139,200 for Proper for all of the outstanding equity interests in Arches IP, Inc. (“Arches”) owned by Wholesome and Proper, respectively. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Wholesome Merger Agreement and the Proper Merger Agreement, each of Wholesome, Proper and Arches option holders are collectively entitled to earnout payments based on the performance of Arches, based on the greater of US$37.5 million or 5x certain revenue percentages of Arches minus $4,000,000, with such revenue percentage amounts measured at the higher of the trailing-twelve-month or nine-month annualized amounts as of December 31, 2026, paid out using a share price for the Company’s SVSs at the higher of US$1.05 or the 20-day VWAP as of immediately prior to December 31, 2026.

 

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.

The acquired intangible assets include cannabis licenses and developed technology which are treated as definite-lived intangible assets amortized over a 15-year useful life.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company has recorded a contingent consideration liability of $9,441,000, which represents the estimated fair value of the potential earnout payments based on management’s current projections of Adjusted EBITDA performance relative to the Closing EBITDA thresholds. This contingent consideration is classified as a Level 3 liability within the fair value hierarchy and will be remeasured at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.

As part of the Wholesome Merger, the sellers contractually agreed to indemnify the Company for certain pre-closing liabilities, including those related to unpaid uncertain tax liabilities. On May 12, 2025, the Company recognized a liability of $8,910,000 for uncertain tax positions related to the pre-acquisition periods in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes. Consistent with the provisions of ASC 805-20-25-27, the Company also recognized a corresponding indemnification asset of $6,910,000, measured on the same basis as the related liability, which represents the uncertain tax liability recognized of $8,910,000 less $2,000,000 of tax specific cash contributions from Wholesome.

The indemnification asset was classified as a non-current asset in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2025, and will be adjusted in future periods if the related liability is settled, released, or remeasured. Changes in the fair value of the indemnification asset, if any, will be recorded in earnings in the same financial statement

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 no impairment loss. Assets and liabilities held for sale as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows:

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 no impairment charges were recorded.

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 $16,549,749. During the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2025, $12,397,641 and $16,549,749, respectively, of amortization associated with this fair value step-up was recorded. This amortization was recorded to cost of sales in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2025.

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:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company entered into an interest rate swap contract with each of East West Bank and Western Alliance Bank for a notional amount of $15,000,000 per swap contract and an effective date of August 4, 2025, to hedge a portion of the interest rate exposure on its First Lien Term Loan (as defined in Note 12) that bears interest at a floating rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). Under the terms of the swaps, the Company pays a fixed interest rate of 3.70% and receives a variable rate equal to SOFR on the same notional amount. The swap matures on July 31, 2027. See Note 12 "Long-Term Debt" for additional information.

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 $160,778 related to the changes and fair value of these derivative instruments.

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.

RSUs

The expense associated with RSUs is based on the closing share price of the Company’s subordinate voting shares on the business day immediately preceding the grant date, adjusted for the absence of future dividends and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the periods during which the restrictions lapse. The Company currently has RSUs that vest over a three year period. The awards are generally subject to forfeiture in the event of termination of employment. During the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized $3,884,736 and $9,138,150, respectively, in stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs. During the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized $689,704 and $782,944, respectively, in stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs.

Legal proceedings

Verano

On January 31, 2022, the Company entered into the Arrangement Agreement with Verano, pursuant to which Verano was to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Vireo Growth pursuant to a Plan of Arrangement. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, holders of Vireo Growth Shares

27

Table of Contents

would receive 0.22652 of a Verano Subordinate Voting Share, subject to adjustment as described below, for each Subordinate Voting Share held, and 22.652 Verano Subordinate Voting Shares for each Multiple Voting Share and Super Voting Share held, immediately prior to the effective time of the Arrangement.

 

On October 13, 2022, Vireo Growth received a notice of purported termination of the Arrangement Agreement (the “Notice”) from Verano. The Notice asserted certain breaches of the Arrangement Agreement, including claims the Company’s public filings and communications with respect to its business and ongoing operations were misleading and that the Company breached its representations to Verano under the Arrangement Agreement. Verano also claimed, as a result of such breaches, it is entitled to payment of a $14,875,000 termination fee and its transaction expenses. Vireo Growth denied all of Verano’s allegations and affirmatively asserted that it complied with its obligations under the Arrangement Agreement, and with its disclosure obligations under US and Canadian law, in all material respects at all times. The Company believes that Verano has no factual or legal basis to justify or support its purported termination of the Arrangement Agreement, which the Company determined to treat as a repudiation of the Arrangement Agreement.

 

On October 21, 2022, Vireo Growth commenced an action in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against Verano after Verano wrongfully repudiated the Arrangement Agreement. The Company sought damages, costs and interest, based on Verano's breach of contract and of its duty of good faith and honest performance.

 

On November 14, 2022, Verano filed counterclaims against the Company for the termination fee and transaction expenses described above.

 

On July 31, 2023, the Company filed a requisition for adjournment of its application filed July 14, 2023, and set for hearing on July 31, 2023, to compel Verano’s compliance with document production based upon the Company’s belief that Verano was engaging in tactics to delay the litigation. 

 

Throughout 2023, the Company served 4 lists of documents, reviewed document production from Verano, and prepared for examinations for discovery. 

On May 2, 2024, the Company filed the Summary Trial Application the Supreme Court of British Columbia for summary determination. The Company sought substantial damages, specifically US $860.9 million, as well as other costs and legal fees, based on Verano’s breach of contract and of its duty of good faith and honest performance.

 

On June 19, 2024, Verano filed the Preliminary Suitability Application seeking orders dismissing the Summary Trial Application on the basis that certain issues in the action are not suitable for summary determination. The Preliminary Suitability Application is in the process of being scheduled

On October 29, 2025, the Company reached a comprehensive settlement (the “Settlement Agreement”) dismissing all outstanding litigation matters between the Company and Verano that are pending before the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Canada. The terms of the Settlement Agreement were approved by the respective Boards of Directors of both Companies.  The value of the settlement to Vireo is approximately $10,000,000 consisting of the acquisition of real property and $1,000,000 in cash.

Lease commitments

The Company leases various facilities, under non-cancelable finance and operating leases, which expire at various dates through September 2041.

18. Other Income (Expense)

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 $0 and $972,888, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and $815,422 for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. These amounts were recorded in other income on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

On May 25, 2023, the Company and Grown Rogue International, Inc. (“Grown Rogue”) entered into a strategic agreement whereby Grown Rogue will support the Company in the optimization of its cannabis flower products. As part of this strategic agreement Grown Rogue granted the Company 8,500,000 warrants to purchase subordinate voting shares of Grown Rogue on October 5, 2023. Subsequently, on October 9, 2024, the Company and Grown Rogue mutually agreed to terminate the strategic agreement. As part of the termination agreement, the Company forfeited 4,500,000 of the previously granted 8,500,000 warrants. The Company’s remaining 4,000,000 warrants were revalued at a fair value of $1,333,103 and $2,270,964 at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The fair value was derived from a Black-Scholes valuation using a stock price of $0.42, an exercise price of $0.162, an expected life of 3.02 years, an annual risk free rate of 3.74%, and volatility of 100%. The three and nine-months ended September 30, 2025 saw a change in fair value of ($60,663) and $937,861, respectively, which was recorded as other expense in the statement of net loss and comprehensive loss for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2025.

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 one and only reportable segment because (a) the Company’s products and services are limited to various forms of cannabis products, (b) the Company’s customers include retail and wholesale customers, (c) the Company’s geography and regulatory environment are the United States, and (d) the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker assesses performance and allocates resources at the consolidated level.

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 $361,250.

22. Related Party Transactions

As of each of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company owed $0 to related parties outside of its debt obligations to Chicago Atlantic disclosed in Notes 12 and 13.

In connection with the Proper Mergers and related Proper Merger Agreement, the Company assumed a lease of property in Missouri that is owned by employees of Proper, who are now employees of the Company. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company made lease payments of $45,501 and $60,668, respectively. Monthly rent is $15,167.

In connection with the Wholesome Merger and related Wholesome Merger Agreement, the Company assumed a lease of property in Grantsville, Utah that is owned by Wholesome employees, who are now employees of the Company. During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025, the Company made lease payments totaling $214,191 and $356,985, respectively. Monthly rent is approximately $71,397.

In connection with the Deep Roots Merger and related Deep Roots Merger Agreement, the Company assumed an investment in Bluebird Uplifted Development, LLC of $1,000,000. The executive management team of Bluebird Uplifted Development, LLC are employees of Deep Roots and now the Company post-closing of the Deep Roots Merger Agreement.

31

Table of Contents

In connection with the closing of the Wholesome Merger and the related Wholesome Merger Agreement, the Company acquired $1,000,000 of promissory notes that bore a 13% interest rate due to current employees. The notes were repaid in full on July 7, 2025 in connection with the First Lien Term Loan and Chicago Atlantic Term Loan.

Details surrounding the lending relationships between the Company and Chicago Atlantic Admin, are described in Note 12 “Long-Term Debt” and Note 13 “Convertible Debt.”

John Mazarakis, Vireo Growth’s Chief Executive Officer, is a partner of Chicago Atlantic Group, LP, an affiliate of Chicago Atlantic Admin. See "Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 for more information.

23. Subsequent Events

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 13% Senior Secured Convertible Notes due December 7, 2026 (the “Senior Secured Notes”). The RSA sets forth a plan to restructure the operations and capital structure of Schwazze and its subsidiaries through a series of transactions, including, but not limited to (i) the purchase of certain assets representing a majority of the total assets of Schwazze and its subsidiaries (the “Asset Sale”) by a newly-formed entity (“NewCo”) to be majority owned by the Company, and (ii) the liquidation of Schwazze’s remaining assets and winding down of Schwazze’s remaining operations (the “Liquidation”).

 

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 $62 million in financing, a portion of which will be used to refinance the Star Bud Holders in full and final satisfaction of their claims with respect to the Star Bud Notes. As a result of the Asset Sale and the Liquidation, (i) all obligations represented by the Senior Secured Notes and the Star Bud Notes will be extinguished and (ii) NewCo will become an indirect majority owned subsidiary of the Company.

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. In the litigation, the Company sought damages, costs and interest, based on Verano's breach of contract and breach of its duty of good faith and honest performance.

On October 29, 2025, the parties reached the Settlement Agreement dismissing all outstanding litigation matters between the two companies that were pending before the Supreme Court of British Columbia.

32

Table of Contents

The terms of the Settlement Agreement were approved by the respective Boards of Directors of both companies. The value of the settlement to Vireo Growth is approximately $10,000,000 consisting of the acquisition of certain real estate assets and $1,000,000 in cash.  See Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies for more information.

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

30, 2025 were derived from sales in 36 dispensaries throughout these six states. We had eight operational dispensaries in Minnesota, four in New York, two in Maryland, eleven in Missouri, ten in Nevada, and one in Utah.

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%.

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.

Operating Income before Other Income (Expense) and Income Taxes

Operating income before other income (expense) and provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $808,956 a decrease of $3,042,491 compared to $3,851,447 for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Total Other Expense

Total other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $13,760,817, an increase of $7,368,012 compared to total other expense of $6,392,805 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. 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. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, tax expense totaled $13,347,000 compared to tax expense of $2,385,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in tax expense was driven by the increase in gross profit relative to the prior year.

The First Lien Term Loan provides for an aggregate principal amount of $120,000,000. The aggregate principal amount of the First Lien Term Loan amortizes in quarterly installments of $3,000,000. The Company will make such quarterly amortization payments commencing on December 31, 2025 and on the last business day of each quarter thereafter through and including June 30, 2028. 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.

On July 7, 2025, the Company entered into a secured term loan (the “Chicago Atlantic Term Loan”), effective July 3, 2025, with Chicago Atlantic Opportunity Finance, LLC, as a Lender, Chicago Atlantic Admin, LLC, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (“2L Agent”) and Chicago Atlantic Credit Advisers, LLC, as Lead Arranger (“Lead Arranger”).

Amortization payments are due and payable monthly on each payment date in an amount equal to 1% of the loan amount starting November 30, 2025. 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.

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.

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

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.

Excluding any contracts under one year in duration, the future minimum lease payments (principal and interest) on all our leases are as follows:

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.

Table of Contents

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.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

There were no unregistered sales of equity securities or repurchase of equity securities that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2025.
