Certain of the forward-looking statements contained herein concerning the cannabis industry and the general expectations of the Company concerning the cannabis industry are based on estimates prepared by the Company using data from publicly-available governmental sources as well as from market research and industry analysis and on assumptions based on data and knowledge of the cannabis industry. Such data is inherently imprecise. The cannabis industry involves risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on various factors, which factors are described further below.

 

With respect to the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company has made assumptions regarding, among other things: (i) its ability to generate cash flows from operations and obtain necessary financing on acceptable terms; (ii) general economic, financial market, regulatory and political conditions in jurisdictions in which the Company operates; (iii) the output from the Company’s operations; (iv) consumer interest in the Company’s products; (v) competition in the cannabis industry; (vi) anticipated and unanticipated costs; (vii) government regulation of the Company’s activities and products; (viii) government regulation of licensing, taxation and environmental protection; (ix) the timely receipt of any required regulatory approvals; (x) the Company’s ability to obtain qualified staff, equipment and services in a timely and cost efficient manner; (xi) the Company’s ability to conduct operations in a safe, efficient and effective manner; and (xii) the Company’s construction plans and timeframe for completion of such plans.

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Amounts expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except for share and per share amounts)

1. Nature of operations

 

TerrAscend Corp. (the "Issuer") was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on March 7, 2017. The Issuer, through its subsidiaries, TerrAscend Growth Corp. (“TerrAscend”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company”), is a leading North American cannabis company. TerrAscend has vertically integrated licensed operations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Michigan, Maryland and California. In addition, the Company has retail operations in Ontario, Canada with a majority-owned dispensary in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. In the United States, TerrAscend’s cultivation and manufacturing provide product selection to both the medical and legal adult-use markets. Notwithstanding the fact that various states in the United States have implemented medical marijuana laws or have otherwise legalized the use of cannabis, the use of cannabis remains illegal under U.S. federal law for any purpose, by way of the Controlled Substances Act of 1970.

 

The Company operates under one operating segment, which is the cultivation, production and sale of cannabis products.

 

The Company owns a portfolio of operating businesses, including:

 

TerrAscend New Jersey (“TerrAscend NJ”), a majority owned operation with three dispensaries, and a cultivation/processing facility;
TerrAscend Maryland (“TerrAscend MD”), a wholly-owned operation with four dispensaries, and a cultivation/processing facility;
TerrAscend Pennsylvania (“TerrAscend PA”), a wholly-owned operation with six dispensaries, and a cultivation/processing facility;
TerrAscend Michigan (“TerrAscend MI”), a wholly-owned operation with nineteen dispensaries, and three cultivation and processing facilities;
TerrAscend California (“TerrAscend CA”), a wholly-owned operation with five dispensaries, and a cultivation facility; and;
TerrAscend Canada Inc. (“TerrAscend Canada”) is a cannabis retailer in Ontario, Canada with a majority-owned dispensary in Toronto, Ontario, Canada ("Cookies Canada").

 

The common shares in the capital of the Company ("Common Shares") commenced trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") on May 3, 2017 under the ticker symbol "TER" and continued trading on the CSE until the listing of the Common Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"). Effective July 4, 2023, the Common Shares commenced trading on the TSX under the ticker symbol "TSND". The Common Shares commenced trading on OTCQX on October 22, 2018 under the ticker symbol "TRSSF", which was subsequently changed to "TSNDF", effective July 6, 2023. The Company’s registered office is located at 77 City Centre Drive, Suite 501, Mississauga, Ontario, L5B 1M5, Canada.

Summary of significant accounting policies
(a)
Basis of presentation

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein (the “Consolidated Financial Statements”) of the Company and its subsidiaries were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this report are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and operating results. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the year ended December 31, 2024, or any other interim or future periods.

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value as described herein. At March 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $717,398. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $14,851. Additionally, as of March 31, 2024 the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets due

TerrAscend Corp.

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Amounts expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except for share and per share amounts)

to loans maturing within the current year. Therefore, the Company expects that it may need to refinance this debt or access additional capital to continue to fund its operations.

The aforementioned indicators raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the issuance of these Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company believes this concern is mitigated by steps it has taken, or intends to take to improve its operations and cash position, including: (i) identifying access to future capital required to pay down or refinance the Company’s maturing debt, (ii) improved cashflow growth from the Company's consolidated operations, particularly TerrAscend's operations in New Jersey and most recently Maryland with conversion to adult-use sales, and (iii) various cost and efficiency improvements. The Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023 contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 14, 2024 (the "Annual Report). There were no significant changes to the policies disclosed in Note 2 of the summary of significant accounting policies of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 in the Company's Annual Report.

3.
Consolidation

The Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest by evaluating whether the entity is a voting interest entity (“VOE”) or a variable interest entity (“VIE”).

In connection with the listing of the Common Shares on the TSX, the Company reorganized its ownership structure to segregate the Company’s Canadian retail operations from TerrAscend's cultivation and manufacturing operations in the United States (the "Reorganization"). Following the completion of the Reorganization, the Company owns 95% of its Canadian retail business. The Company continues to consolidate both its Canadian and U.S. cannabis operations under two different consolidation models.

Subsequent to the Reorganization, all operations in the United States have a functional currency of the U.S. dollar ("USD"). Canadian operations continue to have a functional currency of the Canadian dollar ("CAD").

Voting Interest Entities

 

A VOE is an entity in which (1) the total equity investment at risk is deemed sufficient to absorb the expected losses of the entity, (2) the at-risk equity holders, as a group, have all of the characteristics of a controlling financial interest and (3) the entity is structured with substantive voting rights. The Company consolidates the Canadian operations under a VOE model based on the controlling financial interest obtained through Common Shares with substantive voting rights.

Variable Interest Entities

 

A VIE is an entity that lacks one or more characteristics of a controlling financial interest defined under the voting interest model. The Company consolidates VIE when it has a variable interest that provide it with (1) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance (power) and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that potentially could be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that potentially could be significant to the VIE (benefits).

 

In connection with the Reorganization, TerrAscend issued and sold, on a private placement basis, Class A shares in the capital of TerrAscend ("Class A Shares") for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,000 to an investor ("Investment"). See Note 10 for accounting treatment of the Class A Shares. Following the closing of the Investment, the Class B shares ("Class B Shares") in the capital of TerrAscend held by the Company, representing all of the issued and outstanding Class B shares, were automatically exchanged for non-voting, non-participating exchangeable shares in the capital of TerrAscend ("Non-Voting Shares"), representing approximately 99.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of TerrAscend on an as-converted basis. As a result of the limited rights associated with Non-Voting Shares that the Company holds following the closing of the Investment, the Company and TerrAscend entered into a protection agreement dated April 18, 2023 ("Protection Agreement"). The Protection Agreement provides for certain negative covenants in order to preserve the value of the Non-Voting Shares until such time as the Non-Voting Shares are converted into Class A Shares.

 

The Issuer determined that TerrAscend is a VIE, as all of the Company’s U.S. activities continue to be conducted on behalf of the Company which has disproportionately few voting rights. After conducting an analysis of the following VIE factors; purpose and design

6


TerrAscend Corp.

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Amounts expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except for share and per share amounts)

of the VIE, the Protection Agreement in place, the structure of the Company's board of directors (the "Board"), and substantive kick-out rights of the holders of the Class A Shares, it was determined that the Company has the power to direct the activities of TerrAscend. In addition, given the structure of the Class A Shares where all of the losses and substantially all of the benefits of TerrAscend are absorbed by the Company, the Company consolidates as the primary beneficiary in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810, Consolidation.

 

The Company's U.S. operations are consolidated through the VIE model. Therefore, substantially all of the Company's current assets, non-current assets, current liabilities and non-current liabilities are consolidated through the VIE model. The Company's assets and liabilities that are not consolidated through the VIE model include convertible debt, and derivative liability. The Company also consolidates a minimal amount of assets and liabilities within Canada. See Note 21 for more information.

Discontinued operations

 

TerrAscend Canada operated out of a 67,300 square foot facility located in Mississauga, Ontario and was licensed to cultivate, process and sell cannabis for medical and adult-use purposes.

Volatility was estimated by using the historical volatility of the Company's stock price. The expected life in years represents the period of time that the options issued are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on U.S. treasury bond issues with a remaining term approximately equal to the expected life of the options. Dividend yield is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

The total estimated fair value of stock options that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $3,395 and $4,263, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, there was $8,570 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested options.

Related parties

Parties are related if one party has the ability to control or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financing and operating decisions. At March 31, 2024, amounts due to/from related parties consisted of:

 

(a)
Loans payable: During the year ended December 31, 2020, a small number of related persons, which consisted of key management of the Company, participated in the Ilera term loan (Note 10), which makes up $149 and $159 of the total loan principal balance at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
17.
Income taxes

The Company's effective tax rate was (186.7)% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and (194.4)% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. As the Company operates in the cannabis industry, it is subject to Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), under which the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to sales of product. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-deductible under the Code. Therefore, the effective tax rate can be highly variable and may not necessarily correlate with pre-tax income or loss.

The Company had an unrecognized tax benefits of $93,955 and $84,485 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The increase in uncertain tax positions is primarily due to legal interpretations that challenge the Company's tax liability under the Code (“280E Tax Position”). The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits will increase over the next 12 months due to its 280E Tax Position. Of the unrecognized tax benefits amounts, $11,537 and $10,459 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, is unrelated to its 280E Tax Position.

Related to its 280E Tax Position, the Company has filed amended federal returns related to 2020 and 2021 and is in the process of completing various other federal and state amendments related to 2020, 2021 and 2022. The Company’s tax returns generally remain subject to examination by the U.S. Federal, U.S. State and non U.S. taxing authorities for years ending December 31, 2020 and forward.

Capital management

The Company’s objective in managing capital is to ensure a sufficient liquidity position to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. In order to achieve this objective, the Company prepares a capital budget to manage its capital structure. The Company defines capital as borrowings, equity comprised of issued share capital, share-based payments, accumulated deficit, as well as funds borrowed from related parties.

Since inception, the Company has primarily financed its liquidity needs through the issuance of share capital and debt. The equity issuances are outlined in Note 13, debt modifications are outlined in Note 10, and debt financing are outlined in Note 12.

 

The Company is subject to financial covenants as a result of its loans payable with various lenders. The Company is in compliance with its debt covenants as of March 31, 2024. In the event that, in future periods, the Company’s financial results are below levels required to maintain compliance with any of its covenants, the Company will assess and undertake appropriate corrective initiatives with a view to allowing it to continue to comply with its covenants. Other than these items related to loans payable, the Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Commitments and contingencies

 

Legal proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in a number of lawsuits incidental to its business, including litigation related to intellectual property, product liability, employment, and commercial matters. Although it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of these matters, management believes that any ultimate liability would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets or Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Other than as set out below, at March 31, 2024, there were no pending lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, except for the proceedings described below.

Pure X Litigation

On August 9, 2023, AEY Capital LLC (“AEY”), a licensed subsidiary of TerrAscend, filed a lawsuit in Oakland County Circuit Court (the "Oakland Court") against Pure X, LLC (“Pure X”) seeking damages in the amount of $14,969 (the “AEY Claim”). The AEY Claim alleges breach of contract, quantum meruit/unjust enrichment, account stated and statutory conversion. AEY’s alleged damages are related to Pure X’s failure to pay for various cannabis products sold by AEY. This matter is still pending. The Company has not recorded an additional receivable for this matter as of March 31, 2024.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations of TerrAscend Corp. (the “Issuer”), its subsidiaries, TerrAscend Growth Corp. (“TerrAscend”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with the Company's unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial information and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, (the “SEC”) , on March 14, 2024, (the “Annual Report”). Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q including information with respect to the Company's plans and strategy for its business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, including those factors set forth under "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report, its actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by the "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the following discussion and analysis.

 

Unless otherwise noted, dollar amounts in this Item 2 are in thousands of U.S. dollars.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company is for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 and the accompanying notes for each respective period.

 

Overview

 

The Company is a leading North American cannabis company. The Company has vertically integrated licensed operations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Michigan, Maryland and California. In addition, the Company has retail operations in Ontario, Canada with a majority-owned dispensary in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Notwithstanding the fact that various states in the U.S. have implemented medical marijuana laws or have otherwise legalized the use of cannabis, the use of cannabis remains illegal under U.S. federal law for any purpose, by way of the Controlled Substances Act of 1970.

 

The Company operates under one operating segment, which is the cultivation, production and sale of cannabis products.

 

The Company owns a portfolio of operating businesses, including:

 

TerrAscend New Jersey (“TerrAscend NJ”), a majority owned operation with three dispensaries, and a cultivation/processing facility;
TerrAscend Maryland (“TerrAscend MD”), a wholly-owned operation with four dispensaries, and a cultivation/processing facility;
TerrAscend Pennsylvania (“TerrAscend PA”), a wholly-owned operation with six dispensaries, and a cultivation/processing facility;
TerrAscend Michigan (“TerrAscend MI”), a wholly-owned operation with nineteen dispensaries, and three cultivation and processing facilities;
TerrAscend California (“TerrAscend CA”), a wholly-owned operation with five dispensaries, and a cultivation facility; and;
TerrAscend Canada Inc. (“TerrAscend Canada”) is a cannabis retailer in Ontario, Canada with a majority-owned dispensary in Toronto, Ontario, Canada ("Cookies Canada").

 

Recent Developments

 

On January 2, 2024, the Company made a prepayment of the Ilera Term Loan of $4,800 at 100% to par.
On January 15, 2024, the Company paid off the IHC Real Estate LP promissory note with a final payment of $5,000.
On January 19, 2024, the Company acquired the remaining 50.1% equity in State Flower, a California cultivator, with a payment of $250 in cash and an aggregate of 2,888,088 Common Shares. The Company also acquired the remaining 50.1% equity in three Apothecarium dispensaries in California with a payment of $1,233 in stock for each entity. As a result of these acquisitions, the Company now wholly owns State Flower and the three Apothecarium dispensaries in California.

Subsequent Transactions

 

On April 30, 2024, the Company made a prepayment of the Ilera Term Loan of $3,200 at 100% to par.

 

Components of Results of Operations

 

The following discussion sets forth certain components of the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss as well as factors that impact those items.

 

Revenue, net

 

The Company generates revenue from the sale of cannabis products, brands, and services to the U.S. and Canadian markets. Revenues consist of wholesale and retail sales in the legal medical and adult-use market across Canada and in several U.S. states where cannabis has been legalized for medical or adult-use cannabis.

 

Cost of sales

Cost of sales primarily consists of expenses related to providing cannabis products and services to the Company's customers, including personnel-related expenses, the depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of acquired intangible assets, certain royalties, and other overhead costs.

 

Operating Expenses

 

General and administrative

 

General and administrative ("G&A") expenses consist primarily of personnel costs related to finance, human resources, legal, certain royalties, and other administrative functions. Additionally, G&A expenses include professional fees to third parties, as well as marketing expenses. Moreover, G&A expenses includes share-based compensation on options, restricted stock units and warrants. The Company expects that G&A expenses will increase in absolute dollars as the business grows.

 

Amortization and depreciation

 

Amortization and depreciation includes the amortization of intangible assets. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following terms:

 

Brand intangibles- indefinite lives

Indefinite useful lives

Brand intangibles- definite lives

3 years

Software

5 years

Licenses

5-30 years

Non-compete agreements

3 years

 

Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset using the following terms:

 

Buildings and improvements

15-30 years

Land

Not depreciated

Machinery & equipment

5-15 years

Office furniture & production equipment

3-5 years

Right of use assets

Lease term

Assets in process

Not depreciated

 

Impairment of intangible assets and goodwill

 

Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually and whenever there are events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying amount has been impaired. The Company first performs a qualitative assessment. If based on the results of a qualitative assessment it has been determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit

23


 

exceeds its carrying value, an additional quantitative impairment test is performed which compares the carrying value of the reporting unit to its estimated fair value. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value, an impairment is recorded.

 

Definite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment when there are indications that an asset may be impaired. When indicators of impairment exist, the Company performs a quantitative impairment test which compares the carrying value of the assets for intangible assets to their estimated fair values. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value, an impairment is recorded.

 

Impairment of property and equipment and right of use assets

 

The Company evaluates the recoverability of property and equipment and right of use assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset, or asset group, may not be recoverable. When the Company determines that the carrying value of the long-lived asset may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more indicators, the assets are assessed for impairment based on the estimate of future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the carrying value of an asset exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recorded for the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value.

 

(Gain) loss from revaluation of contingent consideration

 

As a result of some of its acquisitions, the Company recognizes a contingent consideration payable, which is an obligation to transfer additional assets to the seller if future events occur. The liability is revalued at the end of each reporting period to determine its fair value. A gain or loss is recognized as a result of the revaluation.

 

Loss (gain) on fair value of warrants and purchase option derivative asset

 

The Company issues warrants that are remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting unit using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. A gain or loss is recognized as a result of the revaluation.

 

Finance and other expenses

 

Finance and other expenses consist primarily of interest and accretion expense on the Company's outstanding debt obligations.

 

Transaction and restructuring costs

 

Transaction costs include costs incurred in connection with the Company's acquisitions, such as expenses related to professional fees, consulting, legal and accounting. Restructuring costs are those costs associated with severance and restructuring of business units.

 

Unrealized and realized foreign exchange (gain) loss

 

Unrealized and realized foreign exchange loss represents the loss recognized on the remeasurement of USD denominated cash and other assets recorded in the Canadian dollars functional currency at the Company's Canadian operations.

 

Unrealized and realized loss (gain) on investments

 

The Company accounts for its investment in equity securities without readily determinable fair values using a valuation technique which maximizes the use of relevant observable inputs, with subsequent holding changes in fair value recognized in unrealized gain or loss on investments in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss.

 

Provision for income taxes

 

Provision for income taxes consists of U.S. federal and state income taxes in certain jurisdictions in which the Company conducts business.

Revenue increased from $69,398 to $80,633 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily driven by the implementation of adult-use sales in Maryland and the Company's four Maryland acquisitions in 2023, a doubling of wholesale sales in New Jersey, and an 80% increase in wholesale sales in Pennsylvania, partially offset by retail declines in New Jersey and Michigan.

The loss from the revaluation of contingent consideration for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 was due to fair value changes of $1,915 relating to the settlement of the State Flower and The Apothecarium contingent consideration. This was offset by a gain on the revaluation of contingent liability for Peninsula acquisition of $522, resulting from the increase in the Company's share price from December 31, 2023, as compared to March 31, 2024.

The calculation of working capital provides additional information and is not defined under GAAP. The Company defines working capital as current assets less current liabilities. This measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any standardized measure under GAAP.

 

Liquidity and going concern

 

At March 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $717,398. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $14,851. Additionally, as of March 31, 2024 the Company’s current liabilities exceed its current assets. Therefore, it is possible that the Company may need additional capital to continue to fund its operations.

 

The aforementioned indicators raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the issuance of the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on From 10-Q. The Company believes this concern is mitigated by steps it has taken, or intends to take to improve its operations and cash position, including: (i) identifying access to future capital required to pay down or refinance the Company’s maturing debt, (ii) improved cashflow growth from the Company's consolidated operations, particularly TerrAscend's operations in New Jersey and most recently Maryland with conversion to adult-use sales, and (iii) various cost and efficiency improvements. The Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Since its inception, the Company's primary sources of capital have been through the issuance of equity securities or debt facilities, and the Company has received aggregate net proceeds from such transactions totaling $656,143 as of March 31, 2024.

 

The Company expects to fund any additional future requirements through the following sources of capital:

cash from ongoing operations.
market offerings.

26


 

additional debt from additional creditors.
sale of real property.
sale leaseback transactions.
exercise of options and warrants.

Capital requirements

The Company has $197,184 in principal amounts of loans payable at March 31, 2024. Of this amount, $136,291 are due within the next twelve months.

The Company has entered into leases for certain premises and offices for which it owes monthly lease payments. The Company has $92,716 in lease obligations. Of this amount, $9,479 are due in the next twelve months.

The Company's undiscounted contingent consideration payable is $2,914 at March 31, 2024, of which, $1,490 is due in the next twelve months. The contingent consideration payable relates to the Company's acquisitions of Peninsula and the remaining 50.1% equity in both State Flower and three Apothecarium dispensaries in California. The contingent considerations are based upon the price protection of Common Shares issued under the terms of the applicable acquisition agreements. The contingent considerations are measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes Model and revalued at the end of each reporting period.

 

At March 31, 2024, the Company had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $49,673 and corporate income taxes payable of $5,143.

 

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition, including and without limitation, such consideration as liquidity and capital resources.

 

The Company intends to meet its capital commitments through any or all of the sources of capital noted above. The Company's objective with respect to its capital management is to ensure it has sufficient cash resources to maintain its ongoing operations and finance future obligations.

 

Debt facilities

 

Ilera Term Loan

 

On December 18, 2020, WDB Holding PA, a subsidiary of TerrAscend, entered into a senior secured term loan with a syndicate of lenders in the amount of $120,000 (the “Ilera Term Loan”). The Ilera Term Loan is solely secured by Ilera. The Ilera Term Loan bears interest at 12.875% per annum and matures on December 17, 2024. Subject to certain conditions of the agreement, the Company has the ability to increase the facility by up to $30,000. WDB Holding PA's obligations under the Ilera Term Loan and related transaction documents are guaranteed by the Company, TerrAscend USA, Inc. ("TerrAscend USA"), and certain subsidiaries of WDB Holding PA, and secured by TerrAscend USA's equity interest in WDB Holding PA and substantially all of the assets of WDB Holding PA and the subsidiary guarantors party thereto. The loan can be refinanced at the option of the WDB Holding PA after 18 months from the closing date subject to a premium payment due. Of the total proceeds received, $105,767 was used to satisfy the remaining Ilera earn-out payments.

 

On April 28, 2022, the Ilera Term Loan was amended to provide WDB Holding PA with greater flexibility by resetting the minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio levels that must be satisfied at the end of each measurement period and extending the date in which WDB Holding PA is required to deliver its budget for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. In addition, the no-call period was extended from 18 months to 30 months, subject to a premium payment. This modification was not considered extinguishments of debt under ASC 470, Debt.

 

On November 11, 2022, WDB Holding PA, the Company, TerrAscend USA and the subsidiary guarantors party to the Ilera Term Loan and the PA Agent (on behalf of the required lenders) entered into an amendment to the Ilera Term Loan, pursuant to which the parties agreed that WDB Holding PA’s obligation to maintain the consolidated interest coverage ratio as set forth in the Ilera Term Loan for the period ended September 30, 2022, shall not apply, subject to certain conditions, including (but not limited to) an obligation to enter into a subsequent amendment agreement on or before December 15, 2022, documenting certain enhancements and amendments to the Ilera Term Loan. In addition, WDB Holding PA offered a prepayment of $5,000 pro rata to all lenders holding outstanding loans thereunder at a price equal to 103.22% of the principal amount prepaid, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

 

On December 21, 2022, WDB Holding PA completed an amendment to reduce the Company’s principal debt by $35,000 and annual interest expense by $5,000. The Company agreed to make a $35,000 payment at the original prepayment price of 103.22% to par, and

27


 

agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to add certain collateral to the Ilera Term Loan, collectively by March 15, 2023. The amendment further provided that should WDB Holding PA fail to maintain the prescribed interest coverage ratio, the Company shall be required to deposit funds, as outlined in the amendment, into a restricted account, and no event of default shall occur. This amendment was not considered an extinguishment of debt under ASC 470, Debt.

 

On March 15, 2023, WDB Holding PA, in exchange for a fee in the amount of 1% of the then outstanding principal loan balance, agreed to an amendment to, among other things: (i) extend the obligation date to prepay the Company’s debt from March 15, 2023 to June 30, 2023, during which WDB Holding PA agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to add additional collateral to the Ilera Term Loan, (ii) increase the amount of debt to be reduced by up to $37,000, subject to certain reductions in amount based on meeting certain time based milestones, at a prepayment price of 103.22% to par, and (iii) extend the next test date in respect of the interest coverage ratio until June 30, 2023. This amendment was not considered an extinguishment of debt under ASC 470, Debt.

 

On April 14, 2023, WDB Holding PA entered into an amendment to the Ilera Term Loan to, among other things, (i) permit changes necessary for the TSX Transaction (as defined in the Ilera Term Loan), and (ii) to waive certain tax provisions.

 

On June 8, 2023, June 15, 2023, and June 29, 2023, WBD Holding PA made repayments of principal in the amounts of $7,896, $442, and $28,236, respectively.

On June 22, 2023, WDB Holding PA entered into a further amendment to the Ilera Term Loan to, among other things, (i) extend the next test date for the interest coverage ratio from June 30, 2023 to September 30, 2023, and (ii) amend the terms for which WDB Holding PA may incur certain indebtedness and liens. This amendment was not considered extinguishment of debt under ASC 470, Debt.

On October 2, 2023, the Company made a mandatory prepayment of the Ilera Term Loan of $1,500 at the original prepayment price of 103.22% to par.

On December 4, 2023, the parties entered into an amendment that requires WDB Holding PA to make a prepayment of $4,800 by January 2, 2024 and a prepayment of $3,200 by April 30, 2024, at the prepayment price of 100% to par. On January 2, 2024, the Company made a prepayment of $4,800 of the Ilera Term Loan, at the prepayment price of 100% to par.

On April 30, 2024, the Company made a prepayment of the Ilera Term Loan of $3,200 of the Ilera Term Loan, at the prepayment price of 100% to par.

As of March 31, 2024, there was an outstanding principal amount of $72,127 under the Ilera Term Loan. Subsequently, the Company paid an additional $3,200 which resulted in a current outstanding principal amount of $68,927.

Chicago Atlantic Term Loan

 

In connection with the Gage Acquisition, the Company assumed a senior secured term loan (the "Chicago Atlantic Term Loan") with an acquisition date fair value of $53,857. The credit agreement bears interest at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Prime Rate plus 7% or (ii) 10.25%. The term loan was payable monthly and had a maturity date of November 30, 2022. The Chicago Atlantic Term Loan was secured by a first lien on all Gage Growth assets. As a result of the amendment, the Company paid a loan amendment fee of $1,109 which was capitalized.

 

On August 10, 2022, the Chicago Atlantic Term Loan was amended as a result of the corporate restructure in conjunction with the Gage Acquisition. The amendment to the Chicago Atlantic Term Loan includes the addition of a borrower and guarantor under the term loan and a right of first offer in favor of the administrative agent for a refinancing of the term loan. This amendment was not considered extinguishment of debt under ASC 470, Debt.

 

On November 29, 2022, the Company repaid $30,000 outstanding principal amount on the Chicago Atlantic Term Loan. On November 30, 2022, the remaining loan principal amount of $25,000 on the Chicago Atlantic Term Loan was amended (the "Amended Chicago Atlantic Term Loan"). The Amended Chicago Atlantic Term Loan bears interest on $25,000 at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) the U.S. "prime rate" plus 6.00%, and (ii) 13.0% and matures on November 1, 2024. Commencing on May 31, 2023, the Company will make monthly principal repayments of 0.40% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding. Additionally, the unpaid principal amount of the loan shall bear paid in kind interest at a rate of 1.50% per annum. No prepayment fees are owed if the Company voluntarily prepays the loan after 18 months. If such prepayment occurs prior to 18 months, a prepayment fee equal to all of the interest on the loans that would be due after the date of such prepayment, is owed. Under the Amended Chicago Atlantic Term Loan, the Company has the ability to borrow incremental term loans of $30,000 at the option of the Company and subject to consents from the required lenders. The additional $30,000 incremental term loans available under the amendment have not been drawn as of December 31, 2023. This loan represents a loan syndication, and therefore the Company assessed each of the lenders separately under ASC 470, Debt to determine if

28


 

this represents a modification, or an extinguishment of debt. For three of the four remaining lenders, it was determined that this was a modification. For the remaining lender, it was determined that this represented an extinguishment of debt and therefore the fees paid to the lenders on modification were expensed. As a result of this transaction, the Company expensed $1,907 of fees paid to the lenders and third parties as they did not meet the criteria for capitalization under ASC 470, Debt.

 

On June 9, 2023, the Company agreed to an amendment, among other things, to (i) permit changes necessary for the TSX Transaction (as defined therein) and (ii) to permit certain indebtedness and waive certain tax provisions. This amendment was not considered extinguishment of debt under ASC 470, Debt.

 

As of March 31, 2024, there was an outstanding principal amount of $24,404 under the Chicago Atlantic Term Loan.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to reporting the financial results in accordance with GAAP, the Company reports certain financial results that differ from what is reported under GAAP. Non-GAAP measures used by management do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Company believes that certain investors and analysts use these measures to measure a company’s ability to meet other payment obligations or as a common measurement to value companies in the cannabis industry, and the Company calculates (i) Free cash flow from net cash provided by (used in) operating activities from continuing operations less capital expenditures for property and equipment which management believes is an important measurement of the Company's ability to generate additional cash from its business operations, and (ii) Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations as net (loss) income, adjusted to exclude provision for income taxes, finance expenses, depreciation and amortization, relief of fair value upon acquisition, share-based compensation, gain on extinguishment of debt, restructuring related charges, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets and certain other items, which management believes is not reflective of the ongoing operations and performance. Such information is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

 

The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is a useful performance measure to assess the performance of the Company as it provides more meaningful ongoing operating results by excluding the effects of expenses that are not reflective of the Company’s underlying business performance and other one-time or non-recurring expenses. The table below reconciles net loss to

The increase in Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily due to the implementation of adult-use sales in Maryland and the Company's four Maryland acquisitions in 2023 while cost of sales for the Company remained constant.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

32


 

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company's future financial statements will be affected.

There have been no significant changes to the critical accounting estimates from the information provided in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", as contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Emerging Growth Company Status

 

The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that the Company (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

 

The Company will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier to occur of: (i) December 31, 2027 (a) in which the Company has total annual gross revenue of $1,235,000 or more, or (b) in which the Company is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of the Company's Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700,000 as of the last business day of the Company’s most recent second fiscal quarter; and (ii) the date on which the Company has issued more than $1,000,000 in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

 

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

There have been no material changes in the Company's primary risk exposures or management of market risks from those disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company's management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2024, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in a number of lawsuits incidental to its business, including litigation related to intellectual property, product liability, employment, and commercial matters. Although it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of these matters, management believes that any ultimate liability would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets or results of operations. As of March 31, 2024, there were no pending lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, except for the proceedings described below.

The AEY Claim alleges breach of contract, quantum meruit/unjust enrichment, account stated and statutory conversion. AEY’s alleged damages are related to Pure X’s failure to pay for various cannabis products sold by AEY. This matter is still pending.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

Investing in the Company's Common Shares involves a high degree of risk.
