Management Commentary

“Our third quarter results reflected continued execution on our long-term goal to be a brand leader in this rapidly emerging, high-growth consumer category. On a year-over-year basis, we grew revenue by 49% to $234 million; Adjusted EBITDA by 53% to $81 million and we delivered positive cash flow from operations for the seventh consecutive quarter. We ended the quarter with $286 million in cash, which gives us flexibility to generate long-term returns for our stakeholders,” said Green Thumb Chairman, Founder and Chief Executive Officer Ben Kovler.

“As part of our commitment to give back to local communities devastated by the failed War on Drugs, we were very proud to award three unrestricted grants of $75,000 to the inaugural recipients of our Good Green Grant Program: Philadelphia Lawyers for Social Equity, Innovation Works Baltimore and Why Not Prosper. The second round of applications, which can be accessed at www.good.green, is now open to 501c3 organizations through January 12, 2022. We are excited to invest in and work with these amazing organizations to advance meaningful change.”

“Green Thumb is laying tracks for strong growth in 2022, 2023 and beyond. Our net capital expenditures exceeded $70 million in the third quarter bringing year-to-date net capex to over $115 million. Today, the U.S. cannabis market is a $24 billion industry and we believe as new states, new products and new consumers come into the market, it can triple over the next decade,” concluded Kovler.

Third Quarter Financial Overview

Total revenue for the third quarter 2021 was $233.7 million, up 5.3% sequentially and up 48.7% from $157.1 million in the prior year period. Overall performance was driven by expanded distribution of Green Thumb’s branded products and increased traffic in the Company’s 65 open and operating retail stores.

In the third quarter of 2021, Green Thumb generated revenue from all 14 of its markets: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Virginia. The Company continued to invest in expanding the cultivation and production of its branded products, including premium Rythm flower, nationwide.

Total basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2021, were 226,529,671 shares and 230,879,437 shares, respectively.

On July 29, Green Thumb launched the application process for its previously announced LEAP (Licensed Education Assistance Program) New Business Accelerator.

The Company is also exploring options to bring the LEAP program to New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, where social equity-focused cannabis business licenses have been developed as part of new adult-use legislation.
