Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024

(Unaudited, expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except where otherwise noted)

Description of business

SNDL Inc. (“SNDL” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) on August 19, 2006. On July 25, 2022, the Company’s shareholders approved a special resolution amending the articles of SNDL to change the name of the Company from “Sundial Growers Inc.” to “SNDL Inc.”.

The Company’s head office is located at 300, 919 11th Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

The principal activities of the Company are the retailing of wines, beers and spirits, the operation and support of corporate-owned and franchise retail cannabis stores in Canadian jurisdictions where the private sale of recreational cannabis is permitted, the manufacturing of cannabis products providing proprietary cannabis processing services, the production, distribution and sale of cannabis domestically and for export pursuant to the Cannabis Act (Canada) (the “Cannabis Act”), and the deployment of capital to investment opportunities. The Cannabis Act regulates the production, distribution, and possession of cannabis for both medical and adult recreational access in Canada. As at September 30, 2024, the Company also owned approximately 65% of Nova Cannabis Inc. (“Nova”), whose principal activities are the retail sale of cannabis (note 25).

SNDL and its subsidiaries operate solely in Canada. Through its joint venture, SunStream Bancorp Inc. (“SunStream”) (note 13), the Company provides growth capital that pursues indirect investment and financial services opportunities in the cannabis sector, as well as other investment opportunities. The Company also makes strategic portfolio investments in debt and equity securities.

The Company’s liquor retail operations are seasonal in nature. Accordingly, sales will vary by quarter based on consumer spending behaviour. The Company is able to adjust certain variable costs in response to seasonal revenue patterns; however, costs such as occupancy are fixed, causing the Company to report a higher level of earnings in the third and fourth quarters. This business seasonality results in quarterly performance that is not necessarily indicative of the year’s performance. The cannabis retail industry is a growing industry for which seasonality cannot be reliably predicted.

The Company’s common shares trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol “SNDL”.

Basis of presentation

Statement of compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements (“financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee. These financial statements were prepared using the same accounting policies and methods as those disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. Specifically, cost of sales, inventory impairment and obsolescence, change in fair value of biological assets and change in fair value realized through inventory have been combined as cost of sales. Interest and fee revenue and investment income (loss) have been combined as investment income (loss). Finance costs (income), change in fair value of derivative warrants, transaction costs and foreign exchange gain (loss) have been combined as other income (expenses).

These financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) on November 4, 2024.

Business acquisitions

On March 28, 2023, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement with Lightbox Enterprises Ltd. (“Lightbox”) pursuant to which, in connection with Lightbox’s proceedings under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada), the Company (or its designee) would acquire the assets comprising four cannabis retail stores operating under the Dutch Love cannabis retail banner (the “Lightbox Transaction”). The Lightbox Transaction consideration was comprised of (i) approximately $1.7 million in cash, (ii) the cancellation of $3.0 million in debt owing by Lightbox to the Company, and (iii) the issuance of 1.1 million SNDL common shares valued at approximately $3.7 million.

On April 1, 2024, the Company announced that it had agreed to assign its rights to own or operate the four cannabis retail stores to Nova. On May 8, 2024, the Company completed the Lightbox Transaction and the assignment of its rights to own or operate the four cannabis retail stores to Nova.

The Company has engaged independent valuation experts to assist in determining the fair value of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed and related deferred income tax impacts. The purchase price allocation is not final as the Company is continuing to obtain and verify information required to determine the fair value of certain assets and liabilities and the amount of deferred income taxes, if any, arising on their recognition.

Due to the inherent complexity associated with valuations and the timing of the acquisition, the amounts below are provisional and subject to adjustment. The fair value of consideration paid was as follows:


	Provisional		Adjustments		Provisional
Cash		1,654		—		1,654
Issuance of common shares		3,693		—		3,693
Extinguishment of convertible debenture		3,000		—		3,000
		8,347		—		8,347

The preliminary fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired was as follows:


	Provisional			Adjustments			Provisional
Inventory		154			—			154
Prepaid expenses and deposits		—			120			120
Right of use assets		2,828			(111	)		2,717
Property, plant and equipment		964			73			1,037
Intangible assets		1,959			546			2,505
Lease liabilities		(2,828	)		—			(2,828	)
Total identifiable net assets acquired		3,077			628			3,705
Goodwill		5,270			(628	)		4,642
		8,347			—			8,347

Goodwill is mainly attributable to the expansion of the store network and the Value Buds brand growth in British Columbia.

As new information is obtained within one year of the date of acquisition, about facts and circumstances that existed at the date of acquisition, the accounting for the acquisition will be revised.

The financial statements incorporate the operations of Lightbox commencing May 9, 2024. During the period May 9, 2024 to September 30, 2024 the Company recorded revenues of $3.9 million and net loss of $0.2 million from the Lightbox operations. Had the Lightbox Transaction closed on January 1, 2024, management estimates that for the period January 1, 2024, to May 8, 2024, revenue would have increased by $3.1 million and net earnings would have increased by $0.2 million. In determining these amounts, management assumes the fair values on the date of acquisition would have been the same as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2024.

The Company incurred costs related to the Lightbox Transaction of $0.7 million which have been included in transaction costs.

Segment information

The Company’s reportable segments are organized by business line and are comprised of four reportable segments: liquor retail, cannabis retail, cannabis operations, and investments.

Liquor retail includes the sale of wines, beers and spirits through owned liquor stores. Cannabis retail includes the private sale of adult-use cannabis through owned and franchise retail cannabis stores. Cannabis operations include the cultivation, distribution and sale of cannabis for the adult-use and medical markets domestically and for export, and providing proprietary cannabis processing services, in addition to product development, manufacturing, and commercialization of cannabis consumer packaged goods. Investments include the deployment of capital to investment opportunities. Certain overhead expenses not directly attributable to any operating segment are reported as “Corporate”.

Geographical disclosure

As at September 30, 2024, the Company had non-current assets related to credit investments in the United States of $451.1 million (December 31, 2023 – $538.3 million). For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, share of profit of equity-accounted investees related to operations in the United States was a gain of $1.0 million (nine months ended September 30, 2023 – gain of $15.2 million). All other non-current assets relate to operations in Canada and revenues from external customers relate to operations in Canada.

biological assets

The Company’s biological assets consist of cannabis plants in various stages of vegetation, including plants which have not been harvested. The change in carrying value of biological assets is as follows:


As at	September 30, 2024			December 31, 2023
Balance, beginning of year		429			3,477
Increase in biological assets due to capitalized costs		4,076			21,501
Net change in fair value of biological assets		(401	)		(7,936	)
Transferred to inventory upon harvest		(3,203	)		(16,613	)
Balance, end of period		901			429

Biological assets are valued in accordance with International Accounting Standard 41 – Agriculture and are presented at their fair value less costs to sell up to the point of harvest. This is determined using a model which estimates the expected harvest yield in grams for plants currently being cultivated, and then adjusts that amount for the expected selling price less costs to produce and sell per gram.

The fair value measurements for biological assets have been categorized as Level 3 fair values based on the inputs to the valuation technique used. The Company’s method of accounting for biological assets attributes value accretion on a straight-line basis throughout the life of the biological asset from initial cloning to the point of harvest.

The Company estimates the harvest yields for cannabis at various stages of growth. As at September 30, 2024, it is estimated that the Company’s biological assets will yield approximately 3,416 kilograms (December 31, 2023 – 2,230 kilograms) of dry cannabis when harvested. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company harvested 5,529 kilograms of dry cannabis (nine months ended September 30, 2023 – 13,831 kilograms).

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, depreciation expense of $1.6 million was capitalized to biological assets and inventory (nine months ended September 30, 2023 – $4.1 million).

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company determined that indicators of impairment existed relating to certain cannabis retail stores due to underperforming store level operating results as well as indicators of impairment reversal relating to certain previously impaired liquor retail stores now overperforming store level operating results. For impairment testing of retail property, plant and equipment and right of use assets, the Company determined that a cash generating unit (“CGU”) was defined as each individual retail store. The Company completed impairment tests for each CGU determined to have an indicator of potential impairment or impairment reversal using a discounted cash flow model. The recoverable amounts for each CGU were based on the higher of its estimated value in use and fair value less costs of disposal using Level 3 inputs. The significant assumptions applied in the impairment test are described below:

•

Cash flows: Projected future sales and earnings for cash flows are based on actual operating results and operating forecasts. Management determined forecasted growth rates of sales based on past performance, expectations of future performance for each location and industry averages. Expenditures were based upon a combination of historical percentages of revenue, sales growth rates, forecasted inflation rates and contractual lease payments. The duration of the cash flow projections for individual CGUs is 5 years or based on the remaining lease term of the CGU.

•

Discount rate: A pre-tax discount rate range of 12.5% – 13.8% was estimated and is based on market assessments of the time value of money and CGU specific risks. To determine a pre-tax discount rate, a weighted average cost of capital was used as a reference point which is based on market capital structure of debt, risk-free rate, equity risk premium, beta adjustment to the equity risk premium based on a review of betas of comparable publicly traded companies, the Company’s historical data, an unsystematic risk premium and after-tax cost of debt based on corporate bond yields.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded impairment losses of property, plant and equipment of $1.4 million which consists of net $0.77 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a reversal of net $0.21 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and impairment of net $0.89 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 (September 30, 2023 – $0.5 million) in the cannabis retail reporting segment and

Commitments

The Company has entered into certain supply agreements to provide dried cannabis and cannabis products to third parties. The contracts require the provision of various amounts of dried cannabis on or before certain dates. Should the Company not deliver the product in the agreed timeframe, financial penalties apply which may be paid either in product in-kind or cash. The Company has settled the existing $2.5 million financial penalty previously accrued and amended its pre-existing data arrangement with the customer.

Contingencies

From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries are or may become involved in various legal claims and actions which arise in the ordinary course of their business and operations. While the outcome of any such claim or action is inherently uncertain, after consulting with counsel, the Company believes that the losses that may result, if any, will not be material to the financial statements.
