| NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|---|
(a)Basis of Preparation
The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 270 Interim Reporting. The financial data presented herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 as filed on SEDAR+ and EDGAR. The Consolidated Balance Sheet for the year ended December 31, 2024 was derived from audited financial statements filed on SEDAR+ and EDGAR on March 14, 2025. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial data presented includes all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other reporting period. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include estimates and assumptions of management that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
(b)Basis of Measurement
The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, except for certain loans receivable, investments, and contingent considerations, which are recorded at fair value. Historical cost is generally based upon the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets acquired and the contractual obligation for liabilities incurred.

(c)Functional and Presentation Currency
The Company’s functional currency and that of the majority of its subsidiaries is the United States (“U.S.”) dollar. The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar (“USD”). Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are remeasured into the functional currency using period-end exchange rates. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in Other expense, net in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Assets and liabilities of foreign operations having a functional currency other than USD (e.g., Canadian dollars) are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date; revenues and expenses are translated at the monthly average rate of exchange during the period. Gains or losses on translation of foreign subsidiaries and net investments in foreign operations are included in Foreign currency translation differences, net of tax in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss and Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(d)Basis of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries with intercompany balances and transactions eliminated upon consolidation.

(e)Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale
The Company classifies an asset or disposal group as held for sale in accordance with ASC 360 Property, Plant and Equipment, when the following criteria are met:
(i)management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset (disposal group);
(ii)the asset (disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets (disposal groups);
(iii)an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset (disposal group) have been initiated;
(iv)the sale of the asset (disposal group) is probable, and transfer of the asset (disposal group) is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale, within one year;
(v)the asset (disposal group) is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value;
(vi)actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.
Disposal groups held for sale are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Long-lived assets classified as held for sale are not subject to depreciation or amortization, and both the assets and any liabilities directly associated with the disposal group are presented separately within our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Balance Sheets. Subsequent changes to the estimated fair value less cost to sell are recorded as gains or losses in our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations, and any subsequent gains are limited to the cumulative losses previously recognized.

The update aims to improve consistency and comparability in financial reporting. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance will be applied prospectively. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the disclosure requirements on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) — Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.

ASU 2024-03 is intended to enhance transparency into the nature and function of expenses. ASU 2024-03 requires that on an annual and interim basis, entities disclose disaggregated operating expense information about specific categories, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027.

Further, the ASU requires certain disclosures of state versus federal income tax expense and taxes paid. The amendments in this ASU are required to be adopted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted. The Company plans to adopt this ASU for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and is currently assessing the impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis and allow users to more easily compare entities subject to SEC's existing disclosure with those entities that were not previously subject to the SEC's requirements. The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

(c) Distribution to Non-controlling Interest Holders
Tax distributions are based off the tax rate determined by Cresco Labs Inc. (which is currently the highest U.S. individual income tax rates) applied to taxable income generated from Cresco Labs, LLC (i.e., not the whole Cresco group), which is the Company’s most significant distribution, and attributable to the NCI members. The Company has other tax and non-tax distributions that are calculated in accordance with each relevant operating agreement.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had an asset of $15.8 million for tax-related distributions to 2025 and 2024 unit holders of Cresco Labs, LLC and other minority interest holders. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had an asset of $17.4 million for tax-related distributions to the 2024 and 2023 unit holders of Cresco Labs, LLC and other minority interest holders. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company recorded significant tax and tax-related items due to uncertain tax positions that its operations are not subject to IRC Section 280E. Due to this updated position, the Company determined it had overpaid tax distributions to 2024 and 2023 unit holders, and thus is currently in a net asset position.
In accordance with the underlying operating agreements, the Company declared and paid required distribution amounts to 2025 and 2024 unit holders of Cresco Labs, LLC and other minority holders a $2.2 million and $2.3 million amount during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. Similarly, the Company declared and paid required tax distribution amounts to 2024 and 2023 unit holders of Cresco Labs, LLC and other minority interest holders of $14.4 million and $24.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.
(d) Changes in Ownership and Non-controlling Interests
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, redemptions of 2.6 million and 3.8 million Redeemable Units occurred, respectively, which were converted into an equivalent number of SVS. During each respective period, these redemptions resulted in a decrease of 0.9% and 1.4% in non-controlling interest in Cresco Labs, LLC.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, redemptions of 2.7 million and 3.9 million Redeemable Units occurred, respectively, which were converted into an equivalent number of SVS. During each respective period, these redemptions resulted in a decrease of 1.1% and 1.5% in non-controlling interest in Cresco Labs, LLC.

| NOTE 8. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION | ||||||||
| --- |
The Company has a share-based compensation plan (the “Plan”) for employees, board members, and service providers. Under the Plan, stock options and RSUs issued have no voting rights and vest proportionately over periods ranging from the grant date to 5 years from the issuance date. Stock options exercised and RSUs issued are converted to SVS. Stock option expiration dates range from 8 years to 10 years after the grant date. In July 2024, the Plan was amended to increase the maximum number of shares that can be reserved for issuance under the Plan to 10% of the issued and outstanding shares (on an as converted to SVS basis) plus an additional 20 million shares. The calculation for the maximum number of shares that can be reserved for issuance under the Plan will remain in place until the 10% of the issued and outstanding shares (on an as converted to SVS basis) is greater than such number. At that point, the maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding shares (on an as converted to SVS basis).

| --- |
The fair value of stock options granted under the Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following range of assumptions at the time of the grant:
| June 30, 2025 | June 30, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Risk-free annual interest rate | 4.1% to 4.4% | 3.9% to 4.3% |
| Expected annual dividend yield | 0% | 0% |
| Expected stock price volatility | 72.8% to 92.8% | 80.3% to 84.3% |
| Expected life of stock options | 1.5 to 7.0 years | 5.5 to 7.5 years |
| Forfeiture rate | 19.3% | 9.9% to 34.0% |
| Fair value at grant date | $0.33 to $0.67 | $0.94 to $1.55 |
| Stock price at grant date | $0.51 to $0.95 | $1.35 to $2.05 |
| Exercise price range | $0.51 to $0.95 | $1.35 to $2.05 |
Volatility was estimated by using the average historical volatility of comparable companies from a representative group of direct and indirect peers of publicly traded companies, as the Company and the cannabis industry have minimal historical share price history available. An increase in volatility would result in an increase in fair value at grant date. The expected life, in years, represents the period of time that stock options issued are expected to be outstanding, is estimated using the simplified method. The risk-free rate is based on U.S. treasury bills with a term equal to the expected life of the stock options. The forfeiture rate is estimated based on historical forfeitures experienced by the Company.
(b) Restricted Stock Units
The Company has an RSU program to provide employees an additional avenue to participate in the successes of the Company. The fair value of RSUs granted was determined by the fair value of the Company’s share price on the date of grant.
The following table summarizes activity related to RSUs outstanding as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2025:
| (shares in thousands) | Number of RSUs outstanding | Weighted-average fair value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outstanding – January 1, 2025 | 8,927 | $ | 2.14 |
| Granted | 7,472 | 0.94 | |
| Vested and settled | (2,469) | 2.43 | |

(a)Senior Loan
On August 12, 2021, the Company closed on an agreement for a senior secured term loan with an undiscounted principal balance of $400.0 million (as amended, the “Senior Loan”) and an original issue discount of $13.0 million. A portion of proceeds from the Senior Loan were used to retire the then existing term loan, with the remainder to fund capital expenditures and pursue other targeted growth initiatives within the U.S. cannabis sector.
The Senior Loan accrues interest at a rate of 9.5% per annum, payable in cash semi-annually and has a stated maturity of August 12, 2026. The Company’s effective interest rate for the Senior Loan is 11.0%. Upon inception of the Senior Loan, the Company capitalized $10.9 million of deferred financing fees related to the Senior Loan, of which $7.0 million is payable upon principal repayment of the Senior Loan and thus, is reflected within Other long-term liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Senior Loan is secured by a guarantee from substantially all material subsidiaries of the Company, as well as by a security interest in certain assets of the Company and such material subsidiaries. The Senior Loan contains negative covenants which restrict the actions of the Company and its subsidiaries during the term of the loan, including restrictions on paying dividends, making investments and incurring additional indebtedness. The Company is also subject to compliance with affirmative covenants, some of which may require management to exercise judgment. In addition, the Company is required to maintain a minimum cash balance of $50.0 million. As of June 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.
On September 22, 2023, the Company amended the Senior Loan pursuant to which certain terms of the original Senior Loan were modified and consent was provided for the Company to enter into the Mortgage Loans further discussed below.
On August 29, 2024, the Company entered into a second amendment the Senior Secured Term Loan Agreement (the “Amended Loan Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Loan Agreement, the Company may from time-to-time purchase by assignment all or a portion of the lender’s loans, plus applicable accrued and unpaid interest, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Amended Loan Agreement.

|---|
On October 25, 2024, the Company repurchased $40.0 million principal amount of the Senior Loan and paid $0.3 million of accrued interest. There were no prepayment penalties or exit fees due on this repurchase. The purpose of this transaction was to reduce the Senior Loan balance and annual cash interest cost at an amount less than what would have been due at maturity.
The Company may prepay in whole, or in part, the Senior Loan at any time prior to the stated maturity date, subject to certain conditions. Any prepayment of the outstanding principal amount must also include all accrued and unpaid interest and fees. Interest expense is discussed in Note 17 “Interest Expense, Net.” No additional prepayment premium is payable in connection with the Amended Loan Agreement.
(b)Mortgage Loans
On September 26, 2023, JDRC Ellenville, LLC (“Ellenville”), an indirect subsidiary of the Company, entered into loan agreements to borrow an undiscounted principal amount of $25.3 million (the “Mortgage Loans”).

The following table represents the Company’s disaggregated revenue by source, due to the Company’s contracts with its customers, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ($ in thousands) | 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | ||||
| Wholesale | $ | 53,801 | $ | 65,807 | $ | 107,968 | $ | 132,118 |
| Dispensary | 109,823 | 118,549 | 221,413 | 236,533 | ||||
| Total Revenues | $ | 163,624 | $ | 184,356 | $ | 329,381 | $ | 368,651 |
The Company generates revenues, net of sales discounts, at the point in time the control of the product is transferred to the customer, as the Company has a right to payment and the customer has assumed significant risks and rewards of such product without any remaining performance obligation. Sales discounts were approximately 30.0% and 23.1% of gross revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025
| Cresco Labs Inc.<br><br>Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements<br><br>For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 |
|---|
and 2024, respectively. Sales discounts were approximately 29.4% and 21.5% of gross revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company does not enter into long-term sales contracts.
(b)Loyalty Programs
In the states of Illinois, New York, Florida, Ohio and Massachusetts; the Company has customer loyalty programs where retail customers accumulate points based on their level of spending. These points are recorded as a contract liability until customers redeem their points for discounts on cannabis products as part of an in-store sales transaction or the points expire after six months of no spend activity. Loyalty points may be redeemed by customers for $0.03 for each point off of future purchases. The Company records a performance obligation as a reduction of revenue of $0.02 per loyalty point, inclusive of breakage expectations in respective markets.
Upon redemption, the loyalty program obligation is relieved, and the offset is recorded as revenue. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 70.5 million and 76.2 million points outstanding, respectively. The contract liability totaled $1.3 million and $1.4 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which is included in Accrued liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company expects outstanding loyalty points to be redeemed within one year.

(a)Claims and Litigation
From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. The Company accrues for estimated costs for a contingency when a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial positions, or cash flows. There are also no proceedings in which any of the Company’s directors, officers, or affiliates are an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the Company’s interest.
In February 2024, the Company received a demand letter on behalf of former and current Cresco employees. The demand letter alleges the Company violated certain laws around regulations related to employee compensation. The demand letter proposed, and the parties have agreed, to mediate the potential claims. As of June 30, 2025, the parties have agreed to a settlement of $0.7 million, however, the settlement is not fully effective until it is granted approval by the presiding court. The amount for the pending settlement is included in Accrued liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(b)Contingencies
The Company’s operations are subject to a variety of federal, state, and local regulations. Failure to comply with one or more of those regulations could result in fines, restrictions on the Company’s operations, suspension or revocation of permits or licenses, or other disciplinary actions (collectively, “Disciplinary Actions”) that could adversely affect the Company’s financial position and results of operations. While
| Cresco Labs Inc.<br><br>Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements<br><br>For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 |
|---|
management believes that the Company is in substantial compliance with state and local regulations as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and through the date of filing of these financial statements, these regulations continue to evolve and are subject to differing interpretations and enforcement. As a result, the Company may be subject to Disciplinary Actions in the future.
(c)Commitments
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had total commitments of $3.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively, related to material construction projects.
The Company also has employment agreements with key management personnel which include severance in the event of termination with additional equity and/or compensation benefits totaling approximately $5.4 million and $3.7 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
| NOTE 14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT |

Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments are held at amortized cost (adjusted for impairment or expected credit losses (“ECL”), as applicable) or fair value. The carrying values of financial instruments held at amortized cost approximate their fair values as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, due to their nature and relatively short maturity dates. There have been no transfers into or out of Level 3 for the periods ended June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

One (1) $0.1 million loan related to the Craft Grower License matures on July 20, 2026. The remaining loans of $1.2 million mature on July 20, 2027. The loans are measured at amortized cost and bear no interest. Loss on provision on short-term and long-term loans receivable is recorded in Other expense, net in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations.
(c)Investments
The Company currently has investments in three (3) entities: 420 Capital Management, LLC (“420 Capital”), a cannabis investment company; IM Cannabis Corp. (“IMC”), a pharmaceutical manufacturer that specializes in cannabis, and OLD PAL LLC (“Old Pal”), a cannabis operator/licensor. 420 Capital and Old Pal investments are held at fair value and are classified as equity securities without a readily determinable fair value. The IMC investment is classified as a marketable security with a readily determinable fair value.
(d)Deferred and Contingent Considerations
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $1.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively, of short-term deferred and contingent consideration related to the Keystone acquisition. Additionally, as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, long-term deferred and contingent consideration related to the Valley Agriceuticals, LLC (“Valley Ag”) acquisition was $8.1 million and $7.7 million, respectively. The total estimated liability for Keystone and Valley Ag is based on the present value of expected payments associated with future cash flows. Expense related to our deferred and contingent considerations in connection with the Keystone and Valley Ag acquisitions is recorded in Interest expense, net in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 17 “Interest Expense, Net” for additional information.
Financial Risk Management
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument-related risks. The Board of Directors and Company management mitigate these risks by assessing, monitoring, and approving the Company’s risk management processes:
| Cresco Labs Inc.<br><br>Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements<br><br>For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 |
|---|
(a)Credit and Banking Risk
Credit risk is the risk of a potential loss to the Company if a customer or a third-party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The maximum credit exposure as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, and loans receivable. The Company does not have significant credit risk with respect to its growth in its key retail markets, as payment is typically due upon transferring the goods to the customer at our dispensaries, which currently accept only cash and debit cards. Additionally, the Company does not have significant credit risk with respect to its loan counterparties as the interest rate on the Senior Loan is not variable and therefore, is not materially impacted by interest rate increases enacted by the Federal Reserve. The interest rate on our Mortgage Loans is based on the FHLB Five Year Classic Regular Advance Rates which matures every five (5) years and does not pose a significant credit risk. Although all deposited cash is placed with U.S. financial institutions in good standing with regulatory authorities, changes in U.S. federal banking laws related to the deposit and holding of funds derived from activities related to the cannabis industry require additional reforms and protections. In 2023, the Senate Banking Committee passed the SAFER Banking Act with bipartisan support, moving it forward for a Senate floor vote. However, the bill did not receive a vote in the U.S. House. The bill is anticipated to be reintroduced by Congress in 2025. Given that current U.S. federal law provides that the production and possession of cannabis is illegal, there is a strong argument that banks cannot accept or deposit funds from businesses involved with the cannabis industry, leading to an increased risk of legal actions against the Company and forfeitures of the Company’s assets.
The Company’s aging of accounts receivables as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was as follows:
| ($ in thousands) | June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 to 60 days | $ | 33,232 | $ | 38,370 |
| 61 to 120 days | 5,003 | 6,395 | ||
| 120 days + | 7,166 | 15,106 | ||
| Total accounts receivable, gross | 45,401 | 59,871 | ||
| Allowance for credit losses | 5,907 | 8,308 | ||
| Total accounts receivable, net | $ | 39,494 | $ | 51,563 |
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had one customer that accounted for $5.4 million or 12.8% of the Company’s gross accounts receivable balance. As of December 31, 2024, two customers accounted for $12.7 million, or 21.2%, of the Company’s gross accounts receivable balance.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded $0.9 million recovery of provision, respectively for both periods. These recoveries were offset by bad debt expense related to invoice write-offs of $0.0 million and $0.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded a recovery on provision of $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. An additional recover on provision of $0.2 million was recorded compared to $0.2 million in bad debt expense related to invoice write-offs was recorded for the same three and six month periods, respectively.
| Cresco Labs Inc.<br><br>Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements<br><br>For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 |
|---|
(b)Asset Forfeiture Risk
Because the cannabis industry remains illegal under U.S. federal law, any property owned by participants in the cannabis industry, which are either used in the course of conducting such business, or are the proceeds of such business, could be subject to seizure by law enforcement and subsequent civil asset forfeiture. Even if the owner of the property was never charged with a crime, the property in question could still be seized and subject to an administrative proceeding by which, with minimal due process, it could be subject to forfeiture.
(c)Liquidity Risk
The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company has generated positive cash flows from operations and implemented certain cost cutting measures, which are expected to improve cash from operations.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company primarily manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure by ensuring that it will have sufficient liquidity to settle obligations and liabilities when due. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had working capital (defined as current assets less current liabilities) of $213.3 million. The Company also expects to be able to continue to raise debt or equity based capital, or sell certain assets, if needed, to fund operations and the expansion of its business.
(d)Market Risk
(i)Currency Risk
The operating results and balance sheet of the Company are reported in USD. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are primarily in USD. However, from time to time, some of the Company’s financial transactions are denominated in currencies other than USD. The results of the Company’s operations are subject to currency transaction and translation risks. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded a $0.6 million loss, respectively for both periods, in foreign currency exchange. The company recorded $0.1 million and $0.4 million in foreign currency exchange gains during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had no hedging agreements in place with respect to foreign exchange rates. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time.
(ii)Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. An increase or decrease in the Company’s incremental borrowing rate would result in an associated increase or decrease in deferred considerations and interest expense, net. The Company’s Amended Senior Loan accrues interest at a rate of 9.5% per annum and has an effective interest rate of 11.0%. The Company’s Mortgage Loans accrue interest at a rate of 8.4% per annum and have an effective interest rate of 10.2%.
| Cresco Labs Inc.<br><br>Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements<br><br>For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 |
|---|
(iii)Price Risk
Price risk is the risk of variability in fair value due to movements in equity or market prices. The Company is subject to price risk related to deferred and contingent considerations that are valued based on the Company’s own stock price. An increase or decrease in stock price would result in an associated increase or decrease to deferred and contingent considerations with a corresponding change to Other expense, net.
(iv)Tax Risk
Tax risk is the risk of changes in the tax environment that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. Currently, state-licensed marijuana businesses are assessed a comparatively high effective federal tax rate due to Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 280E, which bars businesses from deducting all expenses except their cost of goods sold when calculating federal tax liability. Any increase in tax levies resulting from additional tax measures may have a further adverse effect on the operations of the Company, while any decrease in such tax levies will be beneficial to future operations. See Note 18 “Provision for Income Taxes and Deferred Income Taxes” for the Company’s disclosure of uncertain tax positions.
(v)Regulatory Risk
Regulatory risk pertains to the risk that the Company’s business objectives are contingent, in part, upon the compliance of regulatory requirements. Due to the nature of the industry, the Company recognizes that regulatory requirements are more stringent and punitive in nature. Any delays in obtaining, or failure to obtain regulatory approvals can significantly delay operational and product development and can have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. The Company is cognizant of the advent of regulatory changes occurring in the cannabis industry on the city, state, and national levels. Although the regulatory outlook on the cannabis industry has been moving in a positive trend, any unforeseen regulatory changes could have a material adverse impact on the goals and operations of the Company’s business.
(vi) Economic Risk
The Company’s business, financial condition, and operating results may be negatively impacted by challenging global economic conditions. A global economic slowdown would cause disruptions and extreme volatility in global financial markets, increased rates of default and bankruptcy and declining consumer and business confidence, which can lead to decreased levels of consumer spending. These macroeconomic developments could negatively impact the Company’s business, which depends on the general economic environment and levels of consumer spending. As a result, the Company may not be able to maintain its existing customers or attract new customers, or the Company may be forced to reduce the price of its products. The Company is unable to predict the likelihood of the occurrence, duration, or severity of such disruptions in the credit and financial markets or adverse global economic conditions. Any general or market-specific economic downturns could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.
(vii) Inflation Risk
The Company anticipates inflationary pressures to continue throughout 2025. The Company maintains strategies to mitigate the impact of higher raw material, energy, and commodity costs, which include cost reduction, sourcing, and other actions, which may help to offset a portion of the adverse impact.

The Company operates in one (1) segment, the cultivation, manufacturing, distribution, and sale of cannabis. The Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chief Financial Officer of the Company have been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers (“CODMs”) and manage the Company’s operations as a whole. For the purpose of evaluating financial performance and allocating resources, the CODMs review certain financial information presented on a consolidated basis accompanied by information disaggregated by wholesale and retail customers and geographic region. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company generated 100.0% of its revenue in the U.S.

Significant Expenses
The CODMs review significant expenses, including cost of goods sold and selling, general, and administrative
expenses, which are included in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Measures of Profitability
The CODMs use multiple measures of profitability to evaluate performance and make decisions about allocating capital and other resources throughout the business, including gross profit, operating income, operating cash flow, and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”). Since the Company operates as a single reporting segment, gross profit, operating income, and operating cash flow can be found in the consolidated financial statements. These measures are reviewed quarterly on a consolidated basis. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net loss (income) before depreciation and amortization; interest expense, net; income tax expense (benefit); other (income) expense, net; fair value mark-up for acquired inventory; adjustments for acquisition and other non-core costs; impairment loss; and share-based compensation. Non-core costs include non-operating costs, such as costs related to acquisitions and restructuring, unique legal expenses and other expenses that are mostly one-time in nature. The CODMs use Adjusted EBITDA to provide additional perspectives and insights when analyzing the core operating performance of the business. The CODMs also consider budget to current forecast and budget to actual variances for Adjusted EBITDA on a quarterly basis for evaluating performance and allocating capital decisions. This provides useful information for investors, allowing them to gain a clearer understanding of the Company’s operating performance and make more informed investment decisions. Adjusted EBITDA is not a standardized financial measure under GAAP and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers.
The following table presents a reconciliation of Net loss to Adjusted EBITDA, which is not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP, to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP:

| NOTE 18. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES AND DEFERRED INCOME TAXES |
|---|
The U.S. federal government treats cannabis as subject to the limits of Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 280E for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which also applies to certain states. Under IRC Section 280E, the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to cost of goods sold. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC Section 280E. However, certain states including California, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, and Pennsylvania do not conform to IRC Section 280E and, accordingly, the Company generally deducts all operating expenses on its income tax returns in these states.
During the second quarter of 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded the following significant tax and tax-related items due to uncertain tax positions that its operations are not subject to IRC Section 280E and therefore intends to deduct such expenses with a related uncertain tax liability offsetting such deductions.
•During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded $14.7 million in Uncertain tax position liability on the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Balance Sheets.
•During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company’s tax receivable agreement liability increased by $61.1 million recorded in Other long-term liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Balance Sheets, which was materially driven by this change.
•During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded $25.8 million in Uncertain tax position liability in Other long-term liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company is treated as a United States corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under IRC Section 7874 and is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its worldwide income. However, for Canadian tax purposes the Company, regardless of any application of IRC Section 7874, is treated as a Canadian resident company, as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada), for Canadian income tax purposes. As a result, the Company is subject to taxation both in Canada and the United States.

OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY
Incorporated on July 6, 1990, in the Province of British Columbia, Cresco Labs (“the Company”) is licensed to grow, manufacture, and sell cannabis and cannabis-based products in several U.S. states. The Company’s headquarters is located at 600 W. Fulton Street, Suite 800, Chicago, IL 60661, and its registered office is at 666 Burrard Street, Suite 2500, Vancouver, BC V6C 2X8.

Cresco Labs primarily engages in the cultivation of medical-grade cannabis, the production of cannabis-derived medical-grade products, and their distribution to consumers in legalized cannabis markets in the United States, whether for medical or adult-use. The Company strives to provide consumers with high-quality and consistent cannabis-based products, focusing on regulatory adherence while developing condition-specific cannabis strains and non-invasive delivery methods. These non-invasive delivery methods, which are alternatives to smoke inhalation, aim to deliver controlled-dosage medicinal cannabis relief to qualified patients and consumers in legalized cannabis markets in the United States.
As of August 7, 2025, the Company operates a total of seventy-three (73) dispensaries and thirteen (13) cultivation and production facilities across eight (8) states, where cannabis use, medical or both medical and adult-use, has been approved by state and local regulatory bodies.

COMPONENTS OF OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenue
For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, approximately 67.1% and 64.3%, respectively, of our revenue was derived from Company-owned retail dispensary locations. Retail revenue includes medical and adult-use cannabis sales. Revenue from the wholesale of cannabis products represents the remaining 32.9% and 35.7%, respectively, for the same periods. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, approximately 67.2% and 64.2%, respectively, of our revenue was derived from Company-owned retail dispensary locations. Retail revenue includes medical and adult-use cannabis sales. Revenue from the wholesale of cannabis products represents the remaining 32.8% and 35.8%, respectively, for the same periods.
Gross profit
Gross profit is calculated as revenue less cost of goods sold (“COGS”). COGS includes the direct and indirect costs attributable to the cultivation and production of the products sold and is comprised of the following:
•Direct and indirect labor costs: Include all salaries, benefits, and taxes for all employees at the cultivation and manufacturing facilities.
•Direct supplies: Include direct material costs for maintenance of the plant, supplies and nutrients, production expenses including inventory purchases, packaging costs, and equipment used to process marijuana.
•Facility expenses: The facility expenses for the cultivation operations are the cost for the facility, utilities, property taxes, maintenance, and costs associated with monitoring the security systems.
•Other operating expenses: Include all costs associated with the facility itself, including insurance, community benefit fees, professional services related to licenses and compliance, uniforms, employee training programs, tracking and inventory management systems, product testing, business development, information technology, license renewal fees, and certain excise taxes.
In addition to market fluctuations, cannabis costs are affected by various state regulations that limit the sourcing and procurement of cannabis products. The changes in regulatory environments may create fluctuations in gross profit
over comparative periods. Additionally, gross profit may include the cost of inventory required to be marked to fair value as part of purchase accounting in a business combination.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”)
SG&A consist of salary and benefit costs of employees, depreciation and amortization, professional fees, advertising and marketing, legal, office and retail operation costs, share-based compensation, certain excise taxes, technology, insurance, security, travel and entertainment, and rent expense. SG&A is a component of Total operating expenses as discussed in the “Selected Financial Information” section below.

Income Taxes
The Company is classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a U.S. corporation under Section 7874 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). The Company is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates and, consequently, income tax expense is a function of the allocation of taxable income by jurisdiction and the various activities that impact the timing of taxable events. As the Company operates in the cannabis industry, the Company is subject to the limits of IRC Section 280E for U.S. federal income tax purposes as well as state income tax purposes. Under IRC Section 280E, the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to the cost of goods sold. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC Section 280E.
However, beginning in 2024, the Company is taking an uncertain tax position that its operations are not subject to IRC Section 280E and therefore intends to deduct such expenses with a related uncertain tax liability offsetting such deductions.
Additionally, certain states including Arizona, California, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and New York do not conform to IRC Section 280E and, accordingly, the Company generally deducts all operating expenses on its income tax returns in these states.
SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The Company reports results of operations of its affiliates from the date that control commences, either through the purchase of the business, through a management agreement, or through other arrangements that grant such control. The following selected financial information includes only the results of operations after the Company established control of its affiliates. Accordingly, the information included below may not be representative of the results of operations if such affiliates had included their results of operations for the entire reporting period. For discussion of our fiscal 2024 results of operations and comparison with fiscal 2023 results of operations, please refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations” filed on SEDAR+ and EDGAR on March 14, 2025.

Revenues, net
Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025, decreased $20.7 million, or 11.2%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in revenue was primarily driven by price compression and increased
competition in the Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Florida markets compared to the prior year period. The decrease was partially offset by retail growth in Ohio compared to the prior year period.
COGS and Gross profit
COGS for the three months ended June 30, 2025, decreased $9.2 million, or 10.3%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreased sales in Illinois offset by increased sales in Ohio.
Gross profit decreased by $11.5 million, or 12.2%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in gross profit was primarily driven by lower sales in Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Florida offset by increased sales in Ohio. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit was 50.9% and 51.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenue was driven by lower sales from higher margin states from increased competition, and price compression.
Total operating expenses
Total operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025, increased $4.7 million, or 7.6% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to $9.3 million of impairment charges recorded during the second quarter of 2025 related to the Company’s plans to sell its Cub City and Sonoma’s Finest cultivation facilities in California. The increase was partially offset by a reduction in SG&A of $4.5 million, which was primarily attributable to a reduction in payroll and employee costs, share based compensation, and professional fees.
Total other expense, net
Total other expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2025, decreased $59.9 million, or 81.7%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to an elevated tax receivable agreement expense in 2024 related the Company’s IRC Section 280E position.
Provision for income taxes
Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025, increased $6.4 million, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the cumulative effect of Pennsylvania decoupling from IRC Section 280E in 2024.
Net loss
Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2025, decreased $37.3 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The change is primarily driven by the decrease in other expense, net discussed above. Partially offset by the reduction in revenue discussed above.

Revenues, net
Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased $39.3 million, or 10.7%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024.

1Net loss includes amounts attributable to non-controlling interests.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as Net loss, excluding depreciation and amortization; interest expense, net; income taxes; Other income, net; adjustments for acquisition and other non-core costs; and shares-based compensation. Non-core costs include non-operating costs, such as costs related to acquisitions and restructuring, unique legal expenses, and other expenses that are mostly one-time in nature. Adjusted EBITDA was $40.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $53.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA of $13.0 million is primarily due to a decrease in gross profit. Adjusted EBITDA was $77.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $107.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA of $30.0 million is primarily driven by a decrease in gross profit.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents from the operations of our business, debt, and equity offerings. Our principal uses of cash include working capital related items, capital expenditures, debt, and tax related payments. Additionally, we may use cash for acquisitions and other investing or financing activities.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company held $146.6 million in Cash and cash equivalents and $6.4 million in Restricted cash, included in both Restricted cash and Other non-current assets on the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Balance Sheets, compared to $137.6 million in Cash and Cash equivalents, and $6.7 million in Restricted cash at December 31, 2024.
The Company is generally able to access private and/or public financing through, but not limited to, institutional lenders, such as the agreement for the Senior Loan of $400.0 million, effective August 12, 2021, and amended on
September 22, 2023, and August 29, 2024. On October 25, 2024, the Company repurchased $40.0 million principal amount of the Senior Loan and paid $0.3 million of accrued interest. There were no prepayment penalties or exit fees due on this repurchase. JDRC Ellenville, LLC (“Ellenville”), an indirect subsidiary of the Company, entered into a $25.3 million loan on September 26, 2023, secured by real estate and improvements thereto. In addition, the Company has received and has access to private loans through individual investors and private and public equity raises. As of June 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.
The Company expects cash on hand and cash flows from operations, along with the private and/or public financing options discussed above, will be adequate to meet capital requirements and operational needs for the next twelve months. We cannot guarantee this will be the case, or that our assumptions regarding revenues and expenses underlying this belief will be accurate. If, in the future, we require more liquidity than contemplated, we may need to raise additional funds through debt and/or equity offerings. Adequate funds may not be available when needed or may not be available on terms favorable to us. If additional funds are raised by issuing equity securities, dilution to existing shareholders may result. If we raise additional funds by obtaining loans from third parties, the terms of those financing arrangements may include negative covenants or other restrictions on our business that could impair our operational flexibility and would also require us to fund additional interest expense. If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, we may be unable to develop or enhance our products or services, take advantage of business opportunities, or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Cash Flows
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $39.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $14.3 million compared to $53.6 million of net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The $14.3 million decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in our income taxes payable related to our updated position on 280E as well as improvements in working capital management, including a net benefit from improved collections of accounts receivables, partially offset by inventory buildup in certain states.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $21.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $5.4 million compared to $15.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was primarily driven by a increase in capital expenditures, acquisition related considerations, partially offset by a decrease in operating license intangibles expenditures.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $17.8 million compared to $27.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in distributions to non-controlling interest redeemable unit holders and other members due to our updated tax position on 280E.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on financial performance or financial condition, including without limitation, such considerations as liquidity and capital resources.

Management Commentary
"In Q2, we delivered solid performance in line with guidance, maintained our market share in a highly competitive environment, and continued to drive cash flow through operational discipline. Crucially, we signed a commitment letter to refinance our debt with a new $325 million term loan. This milestone reinforces our balance sheet, preserves our equity value and creates financial flexibility for years to come. The improved structure and terms give us a stronger foundation to execute against both near-term priorities and long-term growth opportunities.”
"The cannabis industry is entering a new phase, defined by consolidation and rationalization. We’re seeing more opportunities for M&A in very productive states that will be incremental for Cresco. As previously stated, we’re going to be opportunistic while staying patient and disciplined so we can invest in sustainable growth when the right opportunities arise. With our proven operating model, focused and productive footprint, and clean capital structure, we’re built for this moment and are well-positioned to be a partner of choice as the industry consolidates.”
