CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INDUSTRY DATA
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Any statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not historical facts and are forward-looking statements. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “believe,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan” and “would.” For example, statements concerning financial condition, possible or assumed future results of operations, growth opportunities, industry ranking, plans and objectives of management, markets for our common shares and future management and organizational structure are all forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. They involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from any results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements.
Any forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the risk factors discussed throughout our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any updates described in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K as may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents that we referenced herein and have filed as exhibits to the reports we file with the SEC, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. You should assume that the information appearing in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is accurate as of the date hereof. Because the risk factors in our SEC reports could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which factors will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. We qualify all of the information presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and particularly our forward-looking statements, by these cautionary statements.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tabular U.S. dollar amounts and shares in thousands, unless otherwise stated)
Note 1 – Organization and Description of Business
(a) Description of Business
iAnthus Capital Holdings, Inc. (“ICH”), together with its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada, on November 15, 2013. The Company is a vertically-integrated multi-state owner and operator of licensed cannabis cultivation, processing and dispensary facilities in the United States. Through the Company’s subsidiaries, licenses, interests and contractual arrangements, the Company has the capacity to operate dispensaries and cultivation/processing facilities, and manufacture and distribute cannabis across the states in which the Company operates in the U.S.
The Company’s registered office is located at 1055 West Georgia Street, Suite 1500, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 4N7, Canada. The Company is listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) under the ticker symbol “IAN” and on the OTCID Tier of the OTC Markets Group Inc. under the symbol “ITHUF.”
(b) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and, therefore, certain information, footnotes and disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, have been condensed or omitted in accordance with SEC rules and regulations.
The financial data presented herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in the Company’s Annual Report on the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2026. In the opinion of management, the financial data presented includes all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include estimates and assumptions of management that affect the amounts reported on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2026, or any other period.
Except as otherwise stated, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars.
(c) Consummation of Recapitalization Transaction
On June 24, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed its previously announced recapitalization transaction (the “Recapitalization Transaction”) pursuant to the terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement (the “Restructuring Support Agreement”) dated July 10, 2020, as amended on June 15, 2021, by and among the Company, all of the holders (the “Secured Lenders”) of the

In connection with the closing of the Recapitalization Transaction, the Company issued an aggregate of

(d) Going Concern
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will be able to continue its operations and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company reported net loss of $
As part of management's plans to drive sustainable growth, the Company has completed the divestment of certain assets (See "Item 1. Business - Dispositions" covered by the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, for additional information) to optimize its portfolio, strengthen its balance sheet and focus on key markets with the greatest growth potential. The Company has allocated proceeds from these divestments to its growth initiatives in Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, Massachusetts and New York, while still maintaining a retail presence in Arizona with one dispensary in Mesa, Arizona, as well as reduce its outstanding debt obligations.
The Company believes it may continue to generate positive cash flows from operations in the near future, notwithstanding the foregoing, the substantial losses and working capital deficiency cast substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of no less than 12 months from the date of this report. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
(e) Basis of Consolidation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ICH together with its consolidated subsidiaries, except for subsidiaries which ICH has identified as variable interest entities where ICH is not the primary beneficiary.
(f) Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations regarding future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.

iANTHUS CAPITAL HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tabular U.S. dollar amounts and shares in thousands, unless otherwise stated)
Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to: economic lives of leased assets; inputs used in the valuation of inventory; allowances for expected credit losses of accounts receivable, provisions for inventory obsolescence; impairment assessment of long-lived assets; depreciable lives of property, plant and equipment; useful lives of intangible assets; accruals for contingencies including tax contingencies; valuation allowances for deferred income tax assets; estimates of fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations; estimates of fair value of derivative instruments; and estimates of the fair value of stock-based payment awards.
(g) Recently Issued FASB Accounting Standard Updates
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). Public entities must comply with the amendments for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The update enhances disclosure requirements by requiring detailed breakdowns of material expense categories. The Company is determining the effects of adoption on its financial reporting practices.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses on current trade receivables and contract assets under ASC 606. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company adopted the new standard and noted that it did not have any material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which replaces the existing three-stage model with a single “probable-to-complete” capitalization threshold and incorporates website development into the same guidance. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and the Company is evaluating the impact of adoption.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. Public entities must adopt the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual periods. The update clarifies interim disclosure requirements and introduces a principle to disclose material events and transactions that have occurred since the end of the prior fiscal year. The Company is evaluating the impact of these improvements on its future interim financial reporting disclosures.
In January 2026, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, Codification Improvements. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026. The standard addresses technical corrections and clarifications across various topics, including the calculation of diluted earnings per share when an entity reports a loss from continuing operations. The Company is in the process of determining the effects of adoption of this amendment, but expects no significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
The Company does not believe any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards will have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
(h) Change in Accounting Estimate
Upon adoption of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 330 “Inventory”, the Company elected to follow an accounting policy related to inventory to be valued at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average cost basis, and net realizable value.
Effective January 1, 2025, the Company will estimate the value of its inventory under standard costing which approximates weighted average cost. It is noted that inventory will continue to be carried at the lesser of cost and net realizable value and that both approaches continue to use full absorption costing to allocate all direct and indirect overhead into the valuation inventory. However, using predetermined standard costs offers consistency and accuracy in inventory valuation and offers better analysis of variances between standard and actual costs. The predetermined costs are reviewed and updated on a periodic basis to determine whether variances reflect part of the normal cost of production, and should therefore be reflected as inventory value, or whether they are a period cost and should thus not be included in inventory.

iANTHUS CAPITAL HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tabular U.S. dollar amounts and shares in thousands, unless otherwise stated)
The Company accounted for this change as a change in accounting estimate in accordance with ASC Topic 250 "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections", and, accordingly, applied it on a prospective basis. This change in estimate did not have any material impact on the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The Company expects this change in accounting estimate to remain immaterial in future periods.
Note 2 – Leases
The Company mainly leases office space and cannabis cultivation, processing and retail dispensary space. Leases with an initial term of less than 12 months are not recorded on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date and lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to five years or more. The Company has determined that it was reasonably certain that the renewal options on the majority of its cannabis cultivation, processing and retail dispensary space would be exercised based on operating history and knowledge, current understanding of future business needs and the level of investment in leasehold improvements, among other considerations. The incremental borrowing rate used in the calculation of the lease liability is based on the rate available to the parent company. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Certain subsidiaries of the Company rent or sublease certain office space to/from other subsidiaries of the Company. These intercompany subleases are eliminated on consolidation and have lease terms ranging from less than

The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of the options at the grant date using the following assumptions:
The expected volatility was estimated by using the historical volatility of the Company. The expected life in years represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") Topic 14, the Company uses the simplified method for estimating the expected term. The Company believes the use of the simplified method is appropriate due to the employee stock options qualifying as “plain-vanilla” options under the criteria established by SAB Topic 14. The risk-free rate was based on the United States bond yield rate at the time of grant of the award. Expected annual rate of dividends is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
There was no stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025.

Note 8 - Segment Information
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company reassessed its reportable segments in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting. Previously, the Company reported its operations under
Effective January 1, 2026, the Company changed its reportable segments to Established and Emerging, defined as follows:
The Established region reflects matured markets with limited growth opportunities and a lower allocation of capital investment in the short-term. This region includes operations in Arizona, Massachusetts, and Florida. The Emerging region reflects new markets with strong growth opportunities and/or those receiving higher capital investments. This region includes operations in New Jersey, Maryland, New York, Illinois, and Pennsylvania. While the change in presentation reflects a reclassification of operating units into new segments, there were no changes to the underlying measurement or allocation of revenues, expenses, or assets. Prior periods are now conformed to the current period presentation. While the CODM continues to review the operating performance (i.e. EBITDA) at a state-level, the revised reportable regions better segments how capital allocation and growth opportunities are identified and monitored.
The "Other" category in the disclosure below comprises items not separately identifiable to the two reportable operating segments and are not part of the measures used by the Company when assessing the reportable operating segments’ results. It also includes items related to operating segments of the Company that did not meet the quantitative thresholds under ASC 280-10-50-12 to be considered reportable operating segments, nor did they meet the aggregation criteria under ASC 280-10-50-11 to qualify for aggregation with one of the two reportable operating segments of the Company. All inter-segment profits are eliminated upon consolidation.
The table below presents results by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

Note 9 — Financial Instruments
Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. The Company characterizes inputs used in determining fair value using a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs depending on the degree to which they are observable. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
The carrying values of cash, receivables, payables and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Balances due to and due from related parties have no terms and are payable on demand, thus are also considered current and short-term in nature, hence carrying value approximates fair value.
The component of the Company’s long-term debt attributed to the host liability is recorded at amortized cost. Investments in debt instruments that are held to maturity are also recorded at amortized cost.
The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy for the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are re-measured at their fair values periodically:

There were no transfers or change in valuation method between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Financial Assets
Level 1 investments are comprised of the Company’s investment in 4 Front Venture Corp., which is considered to be a Level 1 instrument because it is comprised of shares of a public company, and there is an active market for the shares and observable market data, or inputs are now available.
Level 3 investments are comprised of two investments made by the Company in which it holds an equity interest. These two investments are in The Pharm Stand, LLC and Island Thyme, LLC. The Company exercises significant influence for one of these investments and therefore records this investment under the equity method. The investment was initially recognized at cost and the Company recognizes its proportionate share of earnings and losses from the investment each reporting period.

The Company’s contingent consideration payable relates to the additional Earn-Out to be paid as part of the Cheetah Acquisition and is categorized as a Level 3 financial instrument within the fair value hierarchy, as specific valuation techniques using unobservable inputs is required. The Company is using a probability-weighted average scenario approach in assigning probabilities across multiple outcomes of the potential EBITDA earned from the Brand which forms the basis of the Earn-Out.

Note 11 - Contingencies and Guarantees
The Company is involved in lawsuits, claims, and proceedings, including those identified below, which arise in the ordinary course of business. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC Topic 450 Contingencies, the Company will make a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company believes it has adequate provisions for any such matters. The Company reviews these provisions in conjunction with any related provisions on assets related to the claims at least quarterly and adjusts these provisions to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other pertinent information related to the case. Should developments in any of these matters outlined below cause a change in the Company’s determination as to an unfavorable outcome and result in the need to recognize a material provision, or, should any of these matters result in a final adverse judgment or be settled for significant amounts, they could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, and financial position in the period or periods in which such a change in determination, settlement or judgment occurs.
The Company expenses legal costs relating to its lawsuits, claims and proceedings as incurred. The Company has been named as a defendant in several legal actions and is subject to various risks and contingencies arising in the normal course of business. Based on consultation with counsel, management and legal counsel is of the opinion that the outcome of these uncertainties will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

The Roberts Plaintiffs sought a declaration that the Company must deliver certain share certificates to the Roberts without requiring them to deliver a signed Shareholder Representative Agreement to GrowHealthy Holdings, which delivery was a condition precedent to receiving the Company share certificates and required by the acquisition agreements between GrowHealthy Holdings and the Company. In January 2019, the Circuit Court of Palm Beach County denied the Roberts Plaintiffs’ motion for injunctive relief, and the Roberts Plaintiffs signed and delivered the Shareholder Representative Agreement forms to GrowHealthy Holdings while reserving their rights to continue challenging the validity and enforceability of the Shareholder Representative Agreement.

On July 23, 2020, Blue Sky Realty Corporation filed a putative class action against the Company and the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (“OSCJ”) in Toronto, Ontario. On September 27, 2021, the OSCJ granted leave for the plaintiff to amend its claim (“Amended Claim”). In the Amended Claim, the plaintiff seeks to certify the proposed class action on behalf of two classes. “Class A” consists of all persons, other than any executive level employee of the Company and their immediate families (“Excluded Persons”), who acquired the Company’s common shares in the secondary market on or after April 12, 2019, and who held some or all of those securities until after the close of trading on April 5, 2020. “Class B” consists of all persons, other than Excluded Persons, who acquired the Company’s common shares prior to April 12, 2019, and who held some or all of those securities until after the close of trading on April 5, 2020. Among other things, the plaintiff alleges statutory and common law misrepresentation, and seeks an unspecified amount of damages together with interest and costs. The plaintiff also alleges common law oppression for releasing certain statements allegedly containing misrepresentations inducing Class B members to hold the Company’s securities beyond April 5, 2020. No certification motion has been scheduled. The Amended Claim also changed the named plaintiff from Blue Sky Realty Corporation to Timothy Kwong. The hearing date for the motion for leave to proceed with a secondary market claim under the Securities Act (Ontario) has been vacated. The parties have reached a settlement in principle, and November 16, 2023, the OSCJ certified the class for settlement purposes only. On February 20, 2024, the OSCJ held the settlement approval hearing and on March 8, 2024, issued its decision rejecting the proposed settlement.

On June 20, 2022, Michael Weisser (“Weisser”) commenced a petition (the “Petition”) in the Court against ICH and ICH's former board of directors. In the Petition, Weisser sought: (i) a declaration that the affairs of ICH and its then-board of directors were being conducted or have been conducted in a manner that is oppressive and/or prejudicial to Weisser; (ii) an order that Weisser is entitled to call and hold ICH's annual general meeting for 2020 ( “2020 AGM”) on or before June 30, 2022 or a date set by the Court as soon as reasonably possible; (iii) alternatively, an order that ICH hold the 2020 AGM on or before June 30, 2022 or a date set by the Court as soon as reasonably possible; (iv) an order that ICH set the record date for the 2020 AGM; (v) an order that Weisser is entitled to appoint a chair for the 2020 AGM, or that the Court appoint an independent chair for the 2020 AGM; and (vi) an order that ICH be required to provide Weisser with an opportunity to review all votes and proxies submitted in respect of the 2020 AGM, no later than 24 hours in advance of the 2020 AGM. On June 22, 2022, Weisser was granted a short leave by the Court which permitted a return date for the Petition of June 28, 2022. On June 24, 2022, the Company closed the Recapitalization Transaction and ICH noticed the 2020 AGM, the annual general meeting for 2021 (“2021 AGM”) and the annual general meeting for 2022 (the “2022 AGM” and together with the 2020 AGM and 2021 AGM, the “AGMs”). As a result, Weisser’s Petition was rendered moot. On November 14, 2022, Weisser filed an application (the "Application") in the Petition proceeding, seeking to add the Secured Lenders and Consenting Unsecured Lenders as respondents to the Petition and to amend the Petition. Specifically, Weisser sought to amend the Petition to request: (i) a declaration that the affairs of the Secured Lenders, Consenting Unsecured Lenders, ICH and the powers of its then-directors have been and are continuing to be conducted in a manner that is oppressive and/or prejudicial to Weisser; (ii) an order setting aside and/or unwinding the closing of the Recapitalization Transaction; (iii) an order setting aside the results of ICH's annual general meeting held August 11, 2022; (iv) an order that the 2020 AGM be held by December 31, 2022; (v) an order that ICH set the record date for the 2020 AGM to hold the meeting by December 31, 2022; (vi) an order that for purposes of voting at the 2020 AGM, the shareholdings of ICH be those shareholdings that existed prior to the closing of the Recapitalization Transaction; (vii) an order that Weisser is entitled to appoint a chair for the 2020 AGM, or that the Court appoint an independent chair for the 2020 AGM; (viii) an order that ICH be required to provide Weisser with an opportunity to review all votes and proxies submitted in respect of the 2020 AGM, no later than 24 hours in advance of the 2020 AGM; and (ix) an order that pending the 2020 AGM, ICH's current board of directors be replaced by an interim slate of directors to be nominated by Weisser. On May 2, 2023, ICH and its former directors filed their response to the Petition, opposing all orders sought by Weisser, in part, as the Petition is barred by the releases in the Plan of Arrangement and constitutes a collateral attack on Justice Gomery's order approving the Plan. Weisser has not requested a hearing date on the Petition yet.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below, and those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC. All amounts in this report are in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted.
Overview
We are a vertically-integrated, multi-state owner and operator of licensed cannabis cultivation, processing and dispensary facilities in the United States. Although we are committed to creating a national retail brand and portfolio of branded cannabis products recognized in the United States, cannabis currently remains illegal under U.S. federal law.
Through our subsidiaries, we own and/or operate, as of March 31, 2026, 40 dispensaries and four cultivation and/or processing facilities across seven U.S. states. Pursuant to our existing licenses, interests and contractual arrangements, and subject to regulatory approval, we have the capacity to own and/or operate an uncapped number of dispensary licenses in Florida, and up to ten cultivation, manufacturing and/or processing facilities, and we have the right to manufacture and distribute cannabis products in eight U.S. states, all subject to the necessary regulatory approvals.
Our multi-state operations encompass the full spectrum of medical and adult-use cannabis enterprises, including cultivation, processing, product development, wholesale-distribution and retail. Cannabis products offered by us include flower and trim, products containing cannabis flower and trim (such as packaged flower and pre-rolls), cannabis infused products (such as topical creams and edibles) and products containing cannabis extracts (such as vape cartridges, concentrates, live resins, wax products, oils and tinctures). Under U.S. federal law, adult-use cannabis is classified as a Schedule I controlled substance under the U.S. Controlled Substances Act, but as a result of the April 23, 2026 AG Order No. 6754-2026 (the "Rescheduling Order"), medical cannabis subject to a state medical licenses is a Schedule III controlled substance. A Schedule I controlled substance is defined as a substance that has no currently accepted medical use in the United States, a lack of safety use under medical supervision and a high potential for abuse. A Schedule III controlled substance is defined as a substance with a moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence. Notwithstanding the Rescheduling Order, cannabis remains federally illegal in most forms and continues to be subject to significant restrictions under U.S. federal law. Other than Epidiolex (cannabidiol), a cannabis-derived product, and three synthetic cannabis-related drug products (Marinol (dronabinol), Syndros (dronabinol) and Cesamet (nabilone), to our knowledge, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not approved a marketing application for cannabis for the treatment of any disease or condition and has not approved any cannabis or cannabis-derived products.
Financial Restructuring
The significant disruption of global financial markets, and specifically, the decline in the overall public equity cannabis markets due to the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted our ability to secure additional capital, which caused liquidity constraints. In early 2020, due to the liquidity constraints, we attempted to negotiate temporary relief of our interest obligations with the lenders (the “Secured Lenders”) of our 13.0% senior secured debentures (the “Secured Notes”) issued by our wholly-owned subsidiary, iAnthus Capital Management, LLC (“ICM”). However, we were unable to reach an agreement and did not make interest payments when due and payable to the Secured Lenders or payments that were due to the lenders (the “Unsecured Lenders” and together with the Secured Lenders, the “Lenders”) of our 8.0% convertible unsecured debentures (the “Unsecured Debentures”). As a result, we defaulted on our obligations pursuant to the Secured Notes and Unsecured Debentures.
On July 10, 2020, we entered into a restructuring support agreement (as amended on June 15, 2021, the “Restructuring Support Agreement”) with the Secured Lenders and certain of our Unsecured Lenders (the “Consenting Unsecured Lenders”) to effectuate a recapitalization transaction (the “Recapitalization Transaction”) which was consummated on June 24, 2022 (the "Closing Date").
In connection with the closing of the Recapitalization Transaction, we issued an aggregate of 6,072,579,705 common shares to the Secured Lenders and the Unsecured Lenders. Specifically, we issued 3,036,289,852 common shares (the “Secured Lender Shares”), or 48.625% of our outstanding common shares, to the Secured Lenders and 3,036,289,853 common shares (the “Unsecured Lender Shares” and together with Secured Lender Shares, the “Shares”), or 48.625% of our outstanding common shares, to the Unsecured Lenders. As of the Closing Date, we had 6,244,297,897 common shares issued and outstanding. As of the Closing Date, the holders of our common shares collectively held 171,718,192 common shares, or 2.75% of our outstanding common shares.
33
As of the Closing Date, the outstanding principal amount of the Secured Notes (including the interim financing secured notes in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $14.7 million originally due on July 13, 2025) together with interest accrued and fees thereon were forgiven in part and exchanged for (A) the Secured Lender Shares, (B) the issuance of the 8.0% secured debentures (the "June Secured Debentures") to the New Secured Lenders in the aggregate principal amount of $99.7 million and (C) the issuance of the 8.0% unsecured debentures (the “June Unsecured Debentures”) to the Secured Lenders in the aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million. Also, as of the Closing Date, the outstanding principal amount of the Unsecured Debentures together with interest accrued and fees thereon were forgiven in part and exchanged for (A) the Unsecured Lender Shares and (B) the June Unsecured Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $15.0 million. Furthermore, all existing options and warrants to purchase our common shares, including certain debenture warrants and exchange warrants previously issued to the Secured Lenders, the warrants previously issued in connection with the Unsecured Debentures and all other Affected Equity (as defined in the amended and restated plan of arrangement (the "Plan of Arrangement"), were cancelled and extinguished for no consideration.
Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the consummation of the Recapitalization Transaction, we entered into a registration rights agreement (the “RRA”), dated June 24, 2022, with ICM and certain holders of Registrable Securities (as defined in the RRA) (the “Holders”) pursuant to which we shall, upon receipt of written notice (the “Shelf Request”) from Holders of at least 15.0% of our outstanding common shares (the “Substantial Holders”), prepare and file (i) with the applicable Canadian Securities Regulators (as defined in the RRA), a Shelf Prospectus (as defined in the RRA) to facilitate a secondary offering of all of the Registrable Securities or (ii) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “S-3 Registration Statement”) covering the resale of all Registrable Securities. In addition, pursuant to the RRA and subject to certain exceptions, the Substantial Holders may request (the “Demand Registration Request”) that we file a Prospectus (as defined in the RRA) (other than a Shelf Prospectus) or a registration statement on any form that we are then eligible to use (the “Registration Statement”) to facilitate a Distribution (as defined in the RRA) in Canada or the United States of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities (the “Demand Registration”) held by the Holders requesting the Demand Registration. Moreover, pursuant to the RRA and subject to certain exceptions, if, at any time, we propose to make a Distribution for our own account, we shall notify the Holders of such Distribution (the “Piggyback Registration”) and shall use reasonable commercial efforts to include in the Piggyback Registration such Registrable Securities requested by the Holders be included in such Piggyback Registration.
Investor Rights Agreement
Furthermore, in connection with the closing of the Recapitalization Transaction, we entered into an Investor Rights Agreement (“IRA”), dated June 24, 2022, with ICH, ICM and certain investors (the “Investors”). Pursuant to the IRA, among other things, the Investors are entitled to designate nominees for election or appointment to our Board as follows:
Pursuant to the IRA, the Secured Lenders appointed Scott Cohen, Michelle Mathews-Spradlin and Kenneth Gilbert to serve on our Board. Mr. Cohen and Ms. Mathews-Spradlin’s appointments were effective as of the Closing Date and Mr. Gilbert’s appointment was effective as of August 11, 2022. The Consenting Unsecured Lenders initially appointed Zachary Arrick, Alexander Shoghi and Marco D’Attanasio to serve on our Board effective as of the Closing Date. On September 15, 2022, Mr. D’Attanasio resigned as a member of our Board and audit committee. On February 21, 2023, Mr. Arrick resigned as a member of our Board, compensation, nominating and corporate governance committees. On April 20, 2023, John Paterson was appointed to our Board. Mr. Paterson was nominated as a replacement director for Mr. D'Attanasio by the Investor that initially nominated Mr. D'Attanasio. On March 9, 2024, Mr. Paterson
34
resigned as a member of our Board, audit committee and nominating and corporate governance committee. As of the date hereof, the Consenting Unsecured Lenders have not filled the vacancies on our Board created by Mr. Arrick’s or Mr. Paterson's resignations. The directors appointed by the Secured Lenders and Consenting Unsecured Lenders will serve as our directors until our next annual general meeting of shareholders or until their successors are duly elected or appointed.
Pursuant to the IRA, we are required to hire a chief executive officer (and any successor thereto) who has been unanimously approved by the Investors. Upon the chief executive officer taking office (other than an interim chief executive officer), we are obligated to arrange for the chief executive officer to be appointed to our Board. Accordingly, we appointed Richard Proud as a member of our Board upon his appointment as Chief Executive Officer, which had been unanimously approved by the Investors.
Recent Developments
On April 29, 2026, we appointed Jason Ware as Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we reassessed our reportable segments in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting. Previously, we reported operations under two reportable segments based on geographic regions: Eastern and Western. Following a review of our operating performance, growth profile, and capital allocation strategy, we determined that the quantitative thresholds under ASC 280-10-50-12 were no longer met under the prior segmentation, and that disaggregating operations based on market maturity and growth profile better reflects how the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") evaluates performance and allocates resources.
Effective January 1, 2026, the Company changed its reportable segments to Established and Emerging, defined as follows:
The Established region reflects matured markets with limited growth opportunities and a lower allocation of capital investment in the short-term. This region includes operations in Arizona, Massachusetts, and Florida. The Emerging region reflects new markets with strong growth opportunities and/or those receiving higher capital investments. This region includes operations in New Jersey, Maryland, New York, Illinois, and Pennsylvania. Segment information for prior periods presented has been recast to conform to the current period presentation. Current and prior period figures as shown above now reflect the updated reportable regions.

Total operating expenses
Total operating expenses other than those included in costs and expenses applicable to revenues consist of selling, general, and administrative expenses which are necessary to conduct our ordinary business operations. In addition, total operating expenses consist of marketing, technology, and other growth initiatives related expenses such as opening new dispensaries and building-out our facilities, as well as depreciation and amortization charges taken on our fixed and intangible assets, and any write-downs or impairment on our assets. We have taken the necessary measures to control our discretionary spending and employ capital as efficiently as possible. After normalizing for one-time items, we expect total operating expenses to remain consistent over the remainder of 2026 as we continue to employ a disciplined capital allocation approach and continue to closely monitor operating expenditures and discretionary spending.
Total other income and expenses
Total other income and expenses include income and expenses that are not included in the ordinary day-to-day activities of our business. This includes the impact of any debt extinguishments, interest and accretion expenses on our financing arrangements, fair value gains or losses on our financial instruments, gains or losses from the sale of our businesses, and income earned from arrangements that are not from our ordinary revenue streams of retail, wholesale, or the delivery of cannabis products.
Income tax expense
As a company operating in the federally illegal cannabis industry, we are subject to the limitations of Internal Revenue Code Section 280E (“Section 280E”) under which taxpayers are only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to sales of product and no other ordinary business expenses. Our effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate and varies from year to year primarily as a result of numerous permanent differences, the provision for income taxes at different rates in foreign and domestic jurisdictions, including changes in enacted statutory tax rate increases or reductions in the period, changes in our valuation allowance based on our recoverability assessments of deferred tax assets and favorable or unfavorable resolution of various tax examinations.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
Established region
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, our sales revenues in the established region were $15.0 million as compared to $20.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which represents a decrease of 27.3%. The main driver for the decrease in revenues was from: a $3.2 million decline in Arizona, attributed to the deconsolidation of three dispensaries and two facility sites following the sale which closed as of February 10, 2025; a $2.8 million decrease in Florida due to continued competitive pressures which led to price compression and lower sales volume during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31,
36
2025. This was partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in revenue in Massachusetts from higher transaction volumes and lower discounts during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, gross profit was $7.5 million, or 50.1% of sales revenues, as compared to a gross profit of $11.3 million, or 54.9% of sales revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Gross profit decreased by $4.2 million in Florida due to increased competitive pressures which led to price compression and increased sales discounts during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. In addition, gross profit decreased by $1.3 million in Arizona during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, following the asset divestitures in February 2025. The decrease was partially offset by increased gross profit in Massachusetts by $1.7 million due to operational efficiencies from increased production and harvest outputs resulting in lower inventory costs during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025,
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, approximately 6,440 pounds of plant material was harvested in the established region as compared to approximately 10,750 pounds harvested during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in harvested plant material is primarily attributable to the deconsolidation of our facility sites in Arizona, following the sale which closed on February 10, 2025 and lower volumes in Florida from timing of harvest runs during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Emerging region
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, our sales revenues in the emerging region were $18.5 million as compared to $17.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which represents an increase of 5.8%. The increase in revenues in the emerging region is attributed to higher revenues in Maryland by $0.9 million, and in New Jersey by $0.4 million from the continued expansion of the wholesale programs in both states during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, gross profit was $8.4 million, or 45.4% of sales revenues, as compared to a gross profit of $7.6 million, or 43.2% of sales revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Higher gross profit is attributable to a $1.1 million increase in Maryland from increased sales under toll processing arrangements which yields higher margins during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. This was partially offset by $0.2 million decrease in gross profit in New Jersey from unfavorable sales mix as we sold more bulk materials during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, approximately 1,710 pounds of plant material was harvested in the emerging region as compared to approximately 2,020 pounds harvested during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease is attributed to slightly lower volumes cultivated in New Jersey during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Total operating expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, our total operating expenses were $18.2 million as compared to $20.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which represents a decrease of 12.8%.
The decrease in total operating expenses resulted from a decrease of $2.5 million in our selling, general, and administrative expenses which is attributable to: $1.9 million decrease in legal, marketing and other professional fees during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, as the prior year period included increased legal fees from divestiture transactions; $0.6 million decrease in marketing expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025; $0.3 million decrease in travel and other general corporate expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025; and lower facility, insurance and technology costs of $0.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
The decrease in total operating expenses is also attributable to a $0.1 million decrease in our depreciation and amortization expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. We had a lower depreciable fixed and intangible asset base, as certain items of plant and equipment were fully depreciated in 2025. However, we have made significant investments in capital projects which are not yet in service, and therefore expect depreciation and amortization expenses to increase in future periods.
37
In addition, the decrease in total operating expenses was attributed to a $0.1 million net increase in recoveries, write-downs and other charges, as improved collection on accounts receivable resulted in lower net credit loss provisions, with a recovery of $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to $0.1 million recovery during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Total other income and expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we had a total other expenses of $5.0 million as compared to total other income of $11.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which represents a decrease of 145.0%.
The decrease in total other income and expenses between the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 is primarily attributable to $16.3 million decrease in interest and other income. The decrease in interest and other income is attributable to: $6.2 million gain on the deconsolidation of certain assets sold as part of AZ Transaction; $5.7 million gain from divestiture of Nevada assets; $3.0 million from employee retention tax credit refunds in Florida; $1.0 million in deferred professional fees forgiveness; $0.3 million from the Cheetah Acquisition contingent consideration remeasurement; partially offset by $0.1 million increase in interest income from our bank accounts. In addition, total other income and expenses decreased by $0.1 million due to lower interest expense on our long-term debt which are paid-in-kind; and lower accretion expense of $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Income tax expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, our income tax expense was $7.0 million as compared to $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which represents an increase of 74.5%. The increase in income tax expense is attributable to certain non-deductible items and mix of our pre-tax income across various jurisdictions impacting our effective tax rate during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2026, we held unrestricted cash of $11.1 million (December 31, 2025—$11.7 million) and had an accumulated deficit of $1,389.8 million (December 31, 2025—$1,375.5 million) and a working capital deficit of $21.9 million (December 31, 2025—$19.8 million). In assessing our liquidity, we monitor our cash on-hand and our expenditures required to execute our day-to-day operations and our long-term strategic plans. To date, we have financed our operations through equity and debt financings and from our cash flows from operations and we anticipate that we will need to raise additional capital to fund our operations and capital plans in the future. We expect to finance these activities through a combination of additional financings and cash flows from our operations. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds when needed and on favorable terms, or at all, which may have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to curtail or cease our operations. Furthermore, our outstanding debt instruments impose certain restrictions on our operating and financing activities, including certain restrictions on our ability to incur certain additional indebtedness, grant liens, make certain dividends and other payment restrictions affecting our subsidiaries, issue shares or convertible securities and sell certain assets. Even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future plans, we may seek additional capital due to favorable market conditions and/or for strategic opportunities and initiatives.
Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that we will continue to operate as a going concern, and which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise additional capital, our ability to achieve sustainable revenues and profitable operations, and our ability to obtain the necessary capital to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities when they become due.
While we believe that we have funding necessary for us to continue as a going concern, we may need to raise additional capital and there can be no assurance that such capital will be available to us on favorable terms, if at all. As such, these material circumstances cast substantial doubt on our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of no less than 12 months from the date of this report, and our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we currently plan due to incorrect assumptions or due to a decision to expand our activities beyond those currently planned.
38
Cash Flow for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 as Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
Operating Activities
Our net cash flows from operating activities are affected by several factors, including revenues generated by operations, increases or decreases in our operating expenses, including expenses related to new capital projects and development and expansion of newly acquired businesses and the level of cash collections from our customers.
Net cash provided from operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $1.0 million as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in our net cash provided from operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, was primarily due to the following: our net loss of $14.3 million, adjusted for $4.7 million in depreciation and amortization expense, $4.1 million in interest expense; $1.1 million of accretion expense; $0.5 million in share-based compensation expense, $0.3 million from the remeasurement of the contingent consideration related to the Cheetah acquisition; $0.1 million from additional inventory reserves; $0.2 million in recoveries, write-downs and other charges, net, from improved collection on accounts receivable resulting in a lower credit loss provision; $0.1 million in interest income from our bank accounts; and $4.9 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities items during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Changes in other operating assets for the three months ended March 31, 2026 include an increase in cash from inventory of $0.8 million primarily due to the timing of purchases, higher sales volumes in Maryland, New Jersey and Massachusetts during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease in accounts receivable of $0.8 million from higher wholesale revenues and timing of collections during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, and an increase in prepaid expenses of $1.6 million, mainly relating to timing of renewals for insurance and rent during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Changes in other operating liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 include an increase in uncertain tax position liabilities of $3.1 million due to accrued income taxes being recognized as an uncertain tax position during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025; $1.4 million increase in accrued and other current liabilities due to higher accruals for professional fees, payroll and insurance; $0.4 million increase in accounts payable, mainly a function of the timing of the purchases and capex activity as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
As we continue to expand our operations and as these operations become more established, we continue to expect cash flow to be provided from operations, and we intend to place less reliance on financing from other sources to fund our operations. Although we expect to continue to have positive cash flows from operations in 2026, no assurance can be given that we will have positive cash flows in the future.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $1.6 million as compared to $11.1 million in net cash provided from investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in cash provided from investing activities was primarily attributable to the $15.8 million proceeds received from the sale of certain assets in Arizona during the three months ended March 31, 2025; this was partially offset by $2.7 million in lower capital expenditures for funding cultivation and dispensary projects in Florida, New York and New Jersey as the projects are now near completion; $0.2 million increase from proceeds from the Arizona and Nevada promissory notes; and $0.1 million decrease in other intangible assets expenditures primarily related to software development during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $0.1 million as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $8.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we paid less than $0.1 million on our employees' behalf as part of RSUs issuances. Further, we repaid $0.1 million of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to $8.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Related Party Transactions
Upon the closing of the Recapitalization Transaction, certain of our lenders held greater than 5% of the voting interests in our Company and therefore are classified as related parties.

Pursuant to the terms of the Secured DPA, we have a related party payable of $6.3 million due to certain of the New Secured Lenders, including Gotham Green Fund 1, L.P., Gotham Green Fund 1 (Q), L.P., Gotham Green Fund II, L.P., Gotham Green Fund II (Q), L.P., Oasis Investment Master II Fund LTD., Senvest Global (KY), LP, Senvest Master Fund, LP and Hadron Healthcare and Consumer Special Opportunities Master Fund, for certain out-of-pocket costs, charges, fees, taxes and other expenses incurred by the New Secured Lenders in connection with the closing of the Recapitalization Transaction (the “Deferred Professional Fees”). These New Secured Lenders held greater than 5.0% of the outstanding common shares of the Company upon the closing of the Recapitalization Transaction and are therefore considered to be related parties. We had until December 31, 2022, to pay the Deferred Professional Fees ratably based on the amount of each New Secured Lender’s Deferred Professional Fees. The Deferred Professional Fees accrued simple interest at the rate of 12.0% from the Closing Date until December 31, 2022. Beginning with the first business day of the month following December 31, 2022, interest shall accrue on the Deferred Professional Fees at the rate of 20.0% calculated on a daily basis and is payable on the first business day of every month until the Deferred Professional Fees and accrued interest thereon is paid in full. On February 5, 2025, we entered into consent and release agreement with Secured Lenders to utilize cash proceeds upon the closing of the AZ Transaction to payments in the amount of $5.0 million towards the principal amount outstanding under the Deferred Professional Fees. In addition, the Secured Lenders agreed to reduce the outstanding amount of the Deferred Professional fees by $1.0 million and reduce interest to 8% on the remaining balance. On September 2, 2025, the Company applied cash proceeds from the sale of the AZ Note, utilizing $0.3 million toward the remaining principal and $0.9 million toward accrued interest under the Deferred Professional Fees. As of March 31, 2026 the outstanding related party portion of the interest payable was $2.2 million (December 31, 2025 - $2.2 million) presented in accrued and other current liabilities on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Pursuant to the terms of 2024 NJ Amendment, interest accruing after February 16, 2024 will be payable in cash on the last day of each fiscal quarter (the first such interest payment date being May 16, 2024). As of March 31, 2026, the outstanding related party portion of the interest payable was $0.1 million (December 31, 2025 - $0.1 million) presented in accrued and other current liabilities on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates
The preparation of our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and operating results require our management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Our significant accounting policies and estimates are described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on March 27, 2026 which describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
There have been no other material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the date upon which we filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 with the SEC.
JOBS Act
On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”) was enacted. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.
We have chosen to take advantage of the extended transition periods available to emerging growth companies under the JOBS Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies provided under the JOBS Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates for complying with new or revised accounting standards.
Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, as an “emerging growth company,” we intend to rely on certain of these exemptions, including, without limitation, with respect to (i) providing an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and (ii) complying with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements, known as the auditor discussion and analysis. We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which
40
we have total annual gross revenues of $1.235 billion or more; (ii) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common equity securities under an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
The Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to its management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of March 31, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to material weaknesses, which could adversely affect our ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data. Such weaknesses include: (1) reviewing relevant Service Organization Control Reports for key third party service providers; (2) performing effective risk assessment and/or monitor internal controls over financial reporting.
We have developed a plan to remediate the material weaknesses, which includes dedicating additional resources to assess and improve our ITGCs, and developing a roadmap to become SOX compliant by the required deadline.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. Except as set forth in this Item 1 of Part II or in Item 1 of Part I, "Financial Statements Note 10 - Contingencies and Guarantees", or in Item 3 of Part I, "Legal Proceedings", of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, we are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.
Claim by Former Consultant
On August 19, 2021, Arvin Saloum (“Saloum”), a former consultant of the Company, filed a Demand for Arbitration with the American Arbitration Association (the “Arbitration Action”) against THCWC and iA AZ claiming a breach of a Consulting and Joint Venture Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) for unpaid consulting fees allegedly owed to Saloum under the JV Agreement. Saloum is claiming damages between $1,000,000 and $10,000,000. On September 7, 2021, THCWC and iA AZ filed Objections and Answering Statement to Saloum’s Demand for Arbitration. On November 18, 2021, THCWC and iA AZ filed a Complaint for Declaratory Judgment (“Declaratory Judgment Complaint”) with the Arizona Superior Court, Maricopa County (“Arizona Superior Court”), seeking declarations that: (i) the JV Agreement is void, against public policy and terminable at will; (ii) the JV Agreement is unenforceable and not binding; and (iii) the JV Agreement only applies to sales under the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act. On January 21, 2022, Saloum filed an Answer with Counterclaims in response to the Declaratory Judgment Complaint. The Declaratory Judgment Complaint remains pending before the Arizona Superior Court. The Arbitration Action is stayed, pending resolution of the Declaratory Judgment Complaint. On April 25, 2023, the parties attended a mediation, which was unsuccessful. The parties are currently engaging in discovery.
On March 23, 2026, Saloum filed a Partial Motion for Summary Judgment, seeking a declaration that the JV Agreement is binding upon THCWC, iA AZ and the Company (collectively, the "iAnthus Parties") because: (i) the iAnthus Parties ratified the JV Agreement by making payments to Saloum; (ii) the iAnthus Parties assumed the obligations under the JV Agreement in connection with the Company's acquisition of the U.S. operations of MPX Bioceutical Corporation ("MPX Corporation"), which amalgamated into MPX Bioceutical ULC (the "MPX Acquisition"); (iii) the MPX Acquisition was a de-facto merger, meaning MPX Corporation's obligations became the iAnthus Parties'; and (iv) the iAnthus Parties are stopped from denying the enforceability of the JV Agreement because Saloum relied upon the iAnthus Parties' performance. The iAnthus Parties’ filed their response on April 22, 2026. The motion remains pending.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
Risk factors that affect our business and financial results are discussed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (“Annual Report”). You should carefully consider the risks described in our Reports, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Reports are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, and/or results of operations could be negatively affected. There following risk factors have been updated since previously disclosed in our Annual Report:
Risks Related to Our Company
We may incur significant tax liabilities under Section 280E of the U.S. Tax Code.
Section 280E of the U.S. Tax Code prohibits businesses from deducting certain expenses associated with trafficking controlled substances (within the meaning of Schedule I and II of the CSA). The Internal Revenue Service of the United States (“IRS”) has invoked Section 280E of the U.S. Tax Code in tax audits against various cannabis businesses in the United States that are permitted under applicable state laws. Although the IRS issued a clarification allowing the deduction of certain expenses, the scope of such items is interpreted very narrowly and the bulk of operating costs and general administrative costs are not permissible deductions. As a result, with respect to activities relating to marijuana and marijuana products that continue to be scheduled as Schedule I or Schedule II substances, we may have an effective tax rate in the U.S. that is significantly higher than the tax rate typically applicable to U.S. corporations. We have taken a tax position that Section 280E does not preclude us from deducting ordinary and necessary business expenditures on our tax returns.
On April 23, 2026, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche issued AG Order No. 6754-2026 (the “Rescheduling Order”) which (i)
42
reclassified marijuana contained in an FDA-approved drug and marijuana products produced by holders of a state medical license that register with the DEA to Schedule III of the CSA, and (ii) directed an administrative hearing on the rescheduling of other marijuana, including marijuana produced in accordance with a state adult-use license, to be conducted from June 29, 2026 to July 15, 2026 (the “June Hearing”). The Reschedule Order was in response to President Trump’s December 2025 Executive Order directing the Department of Justice to, among other things, “take all necessary steps to complete the rulemaking process related to rescheduling marijuana to Schedule III of the CSA in the most expeditious manner in accordance with Federal law…” The Rescheduling Order provides that registered state medical license holders will no longer be subject to Section 280E as it relates to medical marijuana. On the same day that the Rescheduling Order was issued, the IRS issued a press release indicating that they plan to issue guidance that addresses the federal tax consequences of the Rescheduling Order. In that press release, the IRS acknowledged that the Rescheduling Order “generally removes section 280E as a bar to claiming deductions and credits for businesses that as a result of the [Rescheduling] Order, no longer traffic in Schedule I or II controlled substances under the CSA.” The IRS further indicated in its press release that the guidance it intends to issue “is expected to clarify the ways in which, for businesses with multiple activities, section 280E applies only to those activities related to trafficking in Schedule 1 or II controlled substances (e.g., by apportioning expenses).” Further, the IRS indicted that its guidance is expected to provide that, “for purposes of section 280E, rescheduling generally will be considered to first apply for a business’s full taxable year that includes the effective date of the [Rescheduling] Order, for the business’s activities that do not involved Schedule 1 or II controlled substances as a result of the [Rescheduling] Order.”
While the Company believes that the Rescheduling Order is a promising and important development, the ultimate impact of the Rescheduling Order remains uncertain and may be impacted by the outcome of the June Hearing, any litigation from opponents of rescheduling, any final IRS guidance, and many other factors or developments.
The Company’s products are not approved by the FDA or any other federal governmental authority.
The Company has medical marijuana licenses in the states of New York, New Jersey, Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Arizona. In states that the Company has medical marijuana licenses, the Company sells medical marijuana pursuant to applicable state laws only; however, compliance with state law does not constitute compliance with the CSA or the FDA, and the FDA has not approved the Company’s products for sale. Following the Rescheduling Order, medical marijuana is currently a Schedule III controlled substance and, subject to the June Hearing, adult-use marijuana is a Schedule I controlled substance. A Schedule I controlled substance is defined as a substance that has no currently accepted medical use in the United States, a lack of safety use under medical supervision and a high potential for abuse. Other than Epidiolex (cannabidiol), a cannabis-derived product, and three synthetic cannabis-related drug products (Marinol (dronabinol), Syndros (dronabinol) and Cesamet (nabilone)), to the Company’s knowledge, the FDA has not approved a marketing application for a cannabis or cannabis-derived products for the treatment of any disease or condition. In addition, the Company can provide no assurance that its products or operations are in compliance with federal regulations, including those enforced by the FDA. Failure to comply with FDA regulations may result in, among other things, warning letters, injunctions, product recalls, product seizures, fines and/or criminal prosecutions. Even though medical marijuana was rescheduled to Schedule III and the Rescheduling Order directed deference to applicable state medical programs, the production, sale and commercialization of marijuana could be regulated by the FDA and the Company may not be compliant with existing FDA laws, rules and regulations, if enforced.
The Company’s investments in the United States are subject to applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations in the United States and Canada and cannabis businesses have restricted access to banking and other financial services.
All of the Company’s subsidiaries are located in the United States. Therefore, the Company is subject to a variety of laws and regulations in the United States and Canada that involve money laundering, financial recordkeeping and proceeds of crime. Such laws and regulations may include the Bank Secrecy Act, as amended by Title III of the U.S. PATRIOT Act in the United States, and the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act, as amended, in Canada. If any of the Company’s investments, or any proceeds thereof, any dividends or distributions therefrom, or any profits or revenues accruing from such investments in the United States are found to be in violation of anti-money laundering laws or otherwise, such transactions may be viewed as proceeds of crime, including under one or more of the statutes discussed above. Any property, real or personal and its proceeds, involved in or traceable to such a crime is subject to seizure by, and forfeiture to, governmental authorities. Any such seizure, forfeiture or other action by law enforcement with respect to the Company’s assets could restrict or otherwise jeopardize the Company’s ability to declare or pay dividends, effect other distributions or subsequently repatriate such funds back to Canada, and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
43
On February 14, 2021, FinCEN issued the FinCEN Memorandum, which outlines the pathways for financial institutions to bank cannabis businesses in compliance with federal enforcement priorities. The FinCEN Memorandum states that in some circumstances, it is permissible for banks to provide services to cannabis-related businesses without risking prosecution for violation of federal money laundering laws.
Although, the FinCEN Memorandum remains intact, it is unclear whether the Trump administration will continue to follow its guidelines, or what may happen under future administrations. The DOJ continues to have the right and power to prosecute crimes committed by banks and financial institutions, such as money laundering and violations of the Bank Secrecy Act, that occur in any state including states that have in some form legalized the sale of cannabis. Further, the conduct of the DOJ’s enforcement priorities could change for any number of reasons. A change in the DOJ’s priorities could result in the prosecution of banks and financial institutions for crimes that were not previously prosecuted.
The FinCEN Memorandum does not provide any safe harbors or legal defenses from examination or regulatory or criminal enforcement actions by the DOJ, FinCEN or other federal regulators. Thus, most banks and other financial institutions in the United States do not appear comfortable providing banking services to cannabis-related businesses or relying on this guidance given that it has the potential to be amended or revoked by the current or future administrations. In addition to the foregoing, banks may refuse to process debit card payments and credit card companies generally refuse to process credit card payments for cannabis-related businesses. As a result, the Company may have limited or no access to banking or other financial services in the United States. In addition, federal money laundering statutes and Bank Secrecy Act regulations discourage financial institutions from working with any organization that sells a controlled substance, regardless of whether the state it operates in permits cannabis sales. The Company’s inability, or any limitation of the Company’s ability, to open or maintain bank accounts, obtain other banking services and/or accept credit card and debit card payments may make it difficult for the Company to operate and conduct the Company’s business as planned or to operate efficiently.
In the United States, the SAFE Banking Act and SAFER Banking Act are previously proposed pieces of federal legislation that would grant banks and other financial institutions immunity from federal criminal prosecution for servicing marijuana-related businesses if the underlying marijuana business follows state law. The U.S. House of Representatives previously passed the SAFE Banking Act on numerous occasions, and the SAFER Banking Act has passed the Senate Banking Committee, but the U.S. Senate has failed to take up either the SAFE Banking Act or the SAFER Banking Act for a vote. It is unclear whether the SAFE Banking Act or SAFER Banking Act will be reintroduced during the current congressional session, and even if reintroduced there can be no assurance that any such legislation will be passed and enacted into law.
In both Canada and the United States, transactions involving banks and other financial institutions are both difficult and unpredictable under the current legal and regulatory landscape. Legislative changes could help to reduce or eliminate these challenges for companies in the cannabis space and would improve the efficiency of both significant and minor financial transactions.
Risks Related to Government Regulations
The Company’s business activities and the business activities of the Company’s subsidiaries, while believed to be compliant with applicable U.S. state and local laws, currently may be illegal under U.S. federal law.
While certain states in the U.S. have legalized “medical cannabis,” “adult-use cannabis” or both, under federal law, adult-use cannabis remains illegal as a Schedule I controlled substance, and medical cannabis subject to a state medical license now resides in Schedule III as a controlled substance. As such, subject to the outcome of the June Hearing, cannabis-related business activities, including, without limitation, the cultivation, manufacture, importation, possession, use, or distribution of adult-use cannabis remain illegal under U.S. federal law. In addition, while, following the Rescheduling Order, medical marijuana is now a Schedule III substance, federal regulations and requirements around medical marijuana remain uncertain. Individual state laws also do not always conform to U.S. federal law or the laws of other states, and there are a number of variations among the laws and regulations of the various states in which the Company operates. Although the Company believes its business activities and those of its subsidiaries are compliant with the laws and regulations of the states in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate, strict compliance with state and local laws with respect to cannabis neither absolves the Company of liability under U.S. federal law, nor provides a defense to any proceedings that may be brought against the Company under U.S. federal law. Any proceeding that may be brought against the Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. Violations of any U.S. federal laws and regulations could result in significant fines, penalties, administrative sanctions, convictions, or settlements, arising from either civil or criminal proceedings brought by either the U.S. federal government or private citizens, including, but not limited to, property or product seizures,
44
disgorgement of profits, cessation of business activities, or divestiture. Such fines, penalties, administrative sanctions, convictions, or settlements could have a material adverse effect on, among other things:
U.S. State regulation of cannabis is uncertain.
There is no assurance that state laws legalizing and regulating the sale and use of cannabis will not be repealed or overturned, or that local governmental authorities will not limit the applicability of state laws within their respective jurisdictions. If the U.S. federal government begins to enforce U.S. federal laws relating to cannabis in states where the sale and use of cannabis is currently legal, or if existing state laws are repealed or curtailed, the Company’s business or operations in those states, or under those laws, would be materially and adversely affected. Federal actions against any individual or entity engaged in the cannabis industry or a substantial repeal of cannabis-related legislation could adversely affect the Company’s business.
The rulemaking process at the state level that applies to cannabis operators in any state will be ongoing and result in frequent changes. Regulatory compliance and the process of obtaining regulatory approvals can be costly and time-consuming. No assurance can be given that the Company will receive the requisite licenses, permits or cards to continue operating the Company’s businesses. In addition, local laws and ordinances could restrict the Company’s business activity. Land use, zoning, local ordinances and similar laws could be adopted or changed and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.
Because cannabis may remain illegal under U.S. federal law, and enforcement of cannabis laws could change, there can be no assurance that the Company’s operations will not be deemed to be criminal in nature and/or subject the Company to substantial civil penalties.
The Company is engaged in both the medical and adult-use marijuana industry in the United States where local state and territory law permits such activities. Investors are cautioned that in the United States, cannabis is largely regulated at the state and territory level. Pursuant to the Congressional Research Service, as of March 10, 2026, (i) approximately forty states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands allow the medical use of cannabis products, (ii) approximately eight states allow the for “limited-access medical cannabis”, and (iii) approximately twenty-four states, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands have enacted laws allowing the recreational use of marijuana. Notwithstanding the permissive regulatory environment of cannabis at the state and territory level, the Rescheduling Order, and scheduling of the June Hearing, adult-use cannabis continues to be categorized as a Schedule I controlled substance under the CSA and as such, cultivation, distribution, sale and possession of adult-use cannabis violates federal law in the United States. The inconsistency between federal, state and territory laws and regulations is a major risk factor. In addition, while the Rescheduling Order rescheduled medical marijuana to Schedule III and indicated deference to state medical programs, if the federal government, including the FDA, regulates medical marijuana as a Schedule III substance, there may be certain requirements and regulations that the Company will not be able to meet.
Under the current administration, federal prosecutors are free to utilize their prosecutorial discretion to decide whether to prosecute cannabis activities despite the existence of state-level laws which may be inconsistent with federal prohibitions, though there have been no such prosecutions that the Company is aware of. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that in the future the federal government will not seek to prosecute cases involving cannabis businesses that are otherwise compliant with state laws.
Federal law preempts state law in these circumstances, such that the federal government can assert criminal violations of federal law despite a state’s laws. The level of prosecutions of state-legal cannabis operations is entirely unknown, and the current administration and DOJ have not articulated a policy regarding state-legal adult-use cannabis. Notwithstanding the Rescheduling Order, it is unclear what position Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche will take. If the DOJ sought to aggressively pursue financiers or equity owners of cannabis-related businesses, and U.S. Attorneys followed such Department of Justice policies through pursuing prosecutions of such financiers and equity owners, then the Company could face (i) seizure of cash and other assets used to support, or derived from, the Company’s cannabis subsidiaries, and (ii) the arrest of Company employees, directors, officers, managers and investors, who could face charges of ancillary criminal violations of the CSA for aiding and abetting the violation of, as well as conspiring to violate, the CSA.
45
If the current administration and Attorney General do not adopt a policy incorporating some or all of the policies articulated in the Cole Memorandum, then the DOJ or an aggressive federal prosecutor could allege that the Company “aided and abetted” violations of federal law by providing financing and services to the Company’s operating subsidiaries. Under these circumstances, it is possible that a federal prosecutor could seek to seize Company assets and to recover what could be deemed “illicit profit”. In these circumstances, Company operations may cease, the Company’s shareholders could lose their entire investment and Company directors, officers and/or shareholders could be left to defend any criminal charges against them at their own expense and, if convicted, be sent to federal prison.
Violations of any federal laws and regulations could result in significant fines, penalties, administrative sanctions, convictions or settlements arising from civil proceedings conducted by either the federal government or private citizens, or criminal charges, including, but not limited to, disgorgement of profits, cessation of business activities, or divestiture. This could have a material adverse effect on the Company (including directors’ and officers’ reputations and ability to conduct business), Company holdings (directly or indirectly) of medical and adult-use cannabis licenses in the United States, the listing of Company securities on the CSE or OTC Markets, the Company’s capital, financial position, operating results, profitability or liquidity or the market price of the Company’s listed securities.
Overall, an investor’s contribution to and involvement in the Company’s activities may result in federal civil and/or criminal prosecution, including forfeiture of his, her or its entire investment.
