Management Commentary

“In the second quarter, we delivered solid results of $252 million in revenue, up slightly from the first quarter, and GAAP net income of $13 million or $0.05 per basic and diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA was $76 million or 30% of revenue. Importantly, cash flow from operations was $18 million after paying $52 million of taxes this quarter. For the first six months of 2023, the Company had Adjusted EBITDA of $152 million and cash flow from operations of $93 million. Finally, we ended the second quarter with a strong balance sheet and $149 million in cash. As we move into the second half of the year, we are pleased with our overall position and our team’s ability to execute on our long-term strategy,” said Green Thumb Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ben Kovler.

Green Thumb President Anthony Georgiadis added, “While the cannabis industry continues to face challenges, at Green Thumb, we have been able to navigate a path to profitability and strong operating cash flow. Generating cash and carefully managing it has been core to our DNA since our founding. In addition, over the last 12 months we have made approximately $240 million in capital investments to position the Company for continued strong performance across our diversified portfolio of states.”

Second Quarter 2023 Financial Overview

Total revenue for the second quarter 2023 was $252.4 million, down 1.0% from the prior year period. The decline in revenue was primarily driven by price compression. This was partially offset by continued growth in existing markets such as New Jersey, Virginia and Connecticut, as well as revenue generated from new stores opened in the current period.

Overall retail revenue decreased 2.4% versus the second quarter of 2022. Second quarter 2023 comparable sales (stores open at least 12 months) decreased 3.3% versus the prior year on a base of 76 stores. Consumer Packaged Goods gross revenue increased 12.8% versus the second quarter of 2022.

Gross profit for the second quarter 2023 was $125.3 million or 49.6% of revenue compared to $125.8 million or 49.5% of revenue year-over-year. The Company was able to offset price compression headwinds through operational efficiencies as well as an increase in Consumer Packaged Goods sales through Green Thumb-owned retail stores.

Total selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter were $84.2 million or 33.4% of revenue, compared to $63.5 million or 25.0% of revenue for the second quarter 2022. The increase in total expenses was primarily due to a one-time acquisition-related non-cash fair value credit in the prior year period. In addition, Green Thumb incurred increased expenses associated with opening new stores, as well as the preparation for the recent launch of adult-use cannabis sales in Maryland.

Net income attributable to the Company for the second quarter 2023 was $13.4 million or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net income of $24.4 million, or income of $0.11 per basic and $0.10 per diluted share in the prior year period.

In the second quarter 2023, EBITDA was $65.3 million or 25.9% of revenue versus $86.5 million or 34.0% of revenue for the comparable period. Adjusted EBITDA, which excluded non-cash stock-based compensation of $7.4 million and other non-operating adjustments of $3.1 million, was $75.8 million or 30.0% of revenue as compared to $78.7 million or 31.0% of revenue for the second quarter 2022.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of June 30, 2023, current assets were $341.3 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $149.0 million. Total debt outstanding was $289.9 million.

Total basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2023, were 238.0 million shares and 238.4 million shares, respectively.
