MariMed Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Business
MariMed Inc. ("MariMed" or the "Company") is a multi-state cannabis operator in the United States, headquartered in Norwood, Massachusetts, dedicated to improving lives every day through its high-quality products, its actions, and its values. The Company develops, owns, and manages seed to sale state-licensed, state-of-the-art, regulatory-compliant facilities for the cultivation, production, and dispensing of medicinal and adult-use cannabis. MariMed has created and continues to develop its own brands of premium cannabis flower, concentrates, edibles, and other precision-dosed products utilizing its proprietary strains and formulations. The Company also licenses its proprietary brands, along with other top cannabis products, in select domestic markets. Cannabis remains illegal under United States Federal laws. The Company's operations are conducted in compliance with applicable state and local laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which it operates.
Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year or any future interim period. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Annual Report”), which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 12, 2026.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the previously issued financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.
Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. There were no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MariMed and its wholly- and majority-owned subsidiaries. Consolidation is effected from the date when control is obtained. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Noncontrolling interests represent third-party minority ownership interests in the Company’s majority-owned consolidated subsidiaries. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, and the value of minority-owned interests is presented as a component of equity within the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Use of Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and judgments relied upon in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements include accounting for business combinations and asset purchases, inventory valuations, assumptions used to determine the fair value of stock-based compensation, and intangible assets and goodwill. The Company regularly assesses these estimates and records change in estimates in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and
10
various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates or assumptions.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair values and include cash equivalents, accounts receivable, deferred rents receivable, notes receivable, term loans, mortgages and notes payable, and accounts payable.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. The three-tier fair value hierarchy is based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
•Level 1. Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2. Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets).
•Level 3. Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Bad Debt Expense
The Company recorded $0.1 million of bad debt expense in the three months ended March 31, 2026 to reserve for certain trade receivable accounts. The Company recorded $1.4 million of bad debt expense in the three months ended March 31, 2025, comprised of $1.3 million of expense to fully reserve for an amount due from a credit card service provider (the "Service Provider Receivable") and $0.1 million of expense to reserve for certain trade receivable accounts. The Service Provider Receivable is included as a component of Other assets at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) and does not believe that the future adoption of any such ASUs will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.
(2) BUSINESS COMBINATION
First State Compassion Center
On July 1, 2023 (the "Omnibus Agreement Date"), the Company entered into an Omnibus Agreement (the "Omnibus Agreement") with First State Compassion Center ("FSC"): (a) consolidating all amounts owed by FSC to the Company and its affiliated entities as described below, aggregating $11.0 million; (b) providing for the automatic conversion of all
11
amounts owed by FSC to the Company, upon the approval of adult cannabis use in Delaware, into 100 % ownership of FSC's licenses and business; and (c) extending to FSC, in the Company's sole discretion, up to an additional $2.0 million of working capital loans. The Omnibus Agreement had a term of five years , with an automatic five-year extension if adult cannabis was not approved in Delaware by the maturity date, and bore interest, compounded semiannually and payable annually, at the appropriate rate of interest in effect under Sections 1274(d), 482 and 7872 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as calculated under Rev. Ruling 86-17, 1986-1 C.B. 377, for the period for which the amount of interest was being determined. During 2025, the State of Delaware approved the adult use of cannabis, and the acquisition of FSC by the Company (the "FSC Acquisition") was completed effective March 1, 2025 (the "FSC Acquisition Date"). Effective on the FSC Acquisition Date, the amount owed by FSC to the Company was treated as purchase consideration as part of the purchase accounting for FSC (the "FSC Consideration"). Prior to the FSC Acquisition Date, this amount was included as a component of Other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company also wrote off deferred rents receivable aggregating $0.5 million related to the facilities FSC had subleased from the Company through the FSC Acquisition Date.
The Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 included $0.8 million of revenue and $0.2 million of net loss attributable to FSC for the period subsequent to the FSC Acquisition Date.
The FSC Acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination. A summary of the final allocation of the FSC Consideration to the acquired and identifiable intangible assets is as follows (in thousands):
| Fair value of consideration transferred: | |||||
| Release of FSC obligation to the Company under the Omnibus Agreement | $ | ||||
| Less cash acquired | ( | ||||
| Total fair value of consideration | $ | ||||
| Fair value of assets acquired and (liabilities assumed): | |||||
| Current assets, net of cash acquired | $ | ||||
| Property and equipment | |||||
| Intangible assets: | |||||
| Tradename and trademarks | |||||
| Customer base | |||||
| Goodwill | |||||
| Other assets | |||||
| Income taxes payable | ( | ||||
| Current liabilities | ( | ||||
| Fair value of net assets acquired | $ | ||||
The Company is amortizing the identifiable intangible assets arising from the FSC Acquisition in relation to the expected cash flows from the individual intangible assets over their respective useful lives, which have a weighted average life of 5.84 years. Goodwill results from assets not separately identifiable as part of the transaction and is not deductible for tax purposes.
The following unaudited pro forma information presents the condensed combined results of MariMed and FSC for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as if the FSC Acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2024, with adjustments to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the FSC Acquisition. These pro forma adjustments include amortization of acquired intangibles arising from the FSC Acquisition, the reversal of income recognized by MariMed attributable to FSC as its managed client, and the reversal of expense recorded by FSC in connection with its management agreement with MariMed.
The unaudited pro forma results do not reflect any operating efficiencies or potential cost savings that may result from the consolidation of the operations of MariMed and FSC. Accordingly, these unaudited pro forma results are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to represent or be indicative of the actual results that would have been achieved had the FSC Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2024, nor are they intended to represent or be indicative of future
12
results of operations. These unaudited pro forma results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are as follows (in thousands):

| Net loss | $ | ( | |||
Valuation of Acquired Intangible Assets
The valuation of acquired intangible assets is inherently subjective and relies on significant unobservable inputs. The Company uses an income approach to value acquired trade names and trademarks, licenses and customer bases, and non-compete intangible assets. The valuation for each of these intangible assets is based on estimated projections of expected cash flows to be generated by the assets discounted to the present value at discount rates commensurate with perceived risk. The valuation assumptions take into consideration the Company’s estimates of new markets, products and customers and its outcome through key assumptions driving asset values, including sales growth, royalty rates and other related costs.
Disposition of Missouri Operations and Exit from Pending Transaction
Robust Missouri Process and Manufacturing, LLC ("Robust")
In September 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire 100 % of the membership interests in Robust Missouri Processing and Manufacturing 1, LLC, a Missouri wholesale and cultivator ("Robust"), for $700,000 in cash (the "Robust Agreement"). Completion of the acquisition was dependent upon obtaining all requisite approvals from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services. In August 2024, the State of Missouri approved a facility license to conduct business, but had not yet approved the application to transfer the license from Robust to the Company (the "License Transfer"). The Company was conducting business under a managed service agreement until the final approval of the License Transfer. Pursuant to the Robust Agreement, the Company made an initial advance payment of $350,000 (the "Advance Payment"), with the balance due at closing, which was to occur upon the State of Missouri's approval of the License Transfer.
On October 28, 2025, the Company announced that it had completed a strategic review of its Missouri business operations and had decided to exit that market, effective immediately (the "Missouri Exit"). In furtherance thereof, the Company entered into an agreement to sell and assign its rights, interests and duties as outlined in the Robust Agreement, and to transfer its ownership of all Company-held assets purchased in connection with the Robust Agreement to the buyer, including inventory and fixed assets, and wrote off the Advance Payment. The Company also negotiated the forgiveness of an outstanding payable for purchases it had made under the Robust Agreement. The Company recognized a loss on the Missouri Exit of $0.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2025.
(3) EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. For periods in which the Company reports net income, diluted net income per share is determined by using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period, unless the effect is antidilutive.
The shares used to compute loss per share were as follows (in thousands):
| Three months ended | |||||||||||
| March 31, 2026 | March 31, 2025 | ||||||||||

(5) DEFERRED RENTS RECEIVABLE
Through February 28, 2025, the Company was the lessor under operating leases which contained escalating rents over time, rent holidays, options to renew, and requirements to pay property taxes, insurance and/or maintenance costs. The Company leased a cannabis cultivation, processing and dispensary facility that it owns in Delaware to FSC under a triple net lease that expired. The Company also subleased three properties to FSC - a cannabis production facility with offices, a dispensary, and a portion of a third property that it developed into a cultivation facility. The Company acquired FSC on March 1, 2025 (see Note 2). In connection with the FSC Acquisition, the Company ceased receiving rental payments and recognizing rental income from FSC related to these properties and wrote off the remaining deferred rent receivable related to these subleases aggregating $0.5 million.
The Company recognized fixed rental receipts from such lease agreements on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. Differences between amounts received and amounts recognized were recorded in Deferred rents receivable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company is not the lessor under any finance leases.
The Company received rental payments and recognized rental income of $0.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. These payments were recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis.
(6) NOTE RECEIVABLE AND OMNIBUS AGREEMENT
Note Receivable
At each of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had a note receivable from Healer LLC, an entity that provides cannabis education, dosage programs and products developed by Dr. Dustin Sulak ("Healer"), of approximately $866,000 6
On May 6, 2026,the Company and Healer entered into an Amended and Restated Promissory Note (the "Amended Healer Note"), which extended the maturity date of the original note to April 1, 2033, effective April 1, 2026. The Amended Healer Note bears interest at a rate of 6 % per annum and requires quarterly interest-only payments through March 1, 2028. Effective April 1, 2028, the Amended Healer Note requires quarterly payments of both principal and interest for the remaining five years of the note through the maturity date, with such principal payments based on a five-year amortization schedule. The Company continues to have the right to offset any licensing fees payable by the Company to Healer in the event Healer fails to make any payment when due.
Omnibus Agreement
The amount due under the Omnibus Agreement, which was included as a component of Other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet prior to the FSC Acquisition Date, was treated as purchase consideration in connection with the FSC Acquisition (see Note 2).

CREM Loan
On November 16, 2023, Mari Holdings MD LLC, Hartwell Realty Holdings LLC, Kind Therapeutics USA, LLC, ARL Healthcare Inc., and MariMed Advisors, Inc., each a wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company (collectively, the "CREM Borrowers"), entered into a Loan Agreement (the "CREM Loan Agreement") by and among the CREM Borrowers, and Needham Bank, a Massachusetts co-operative bank (the "CREM Lender") pursuant to which the
16
CREM Lender loaned to the CREM Borrowers an aggregate principal amount of $58.7 million (the "CREM Loan Transaction"). The Company guaranteed the obligations of the CREM Borrowers under the CREM Loan Transaction and pledged to the CREM Lender its equity ownership in each CREM Borrower. The CREM Lender has a first priority security interest in all of the CREM Borrowers' operating assets in Maryland and Massachusetts and first priority mortgages on the CREM Borrowers' properties owned in Maryland and Massachusetts.
The CREM Loan Transaction is for a term of ten years and has an interest rate for the initial five years of 8.43 % per annum. The interest rate will reset after five years to the FHLB Rate (the Classic Advance Rate for Fixed Rate advances for a period of five years for an amount greater than or equal to the loan amount, as such rate is defined and published by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston), plus 3.50 %. The Company made interest-only payments for the first twelve months of the term of the loan, with payments thereafter based upon a twenty-year amortization schedule.
The CREM Lender initially released $52.8 million to the CREM Borrowers (the "Initial CREM Distribution"), with the remaining proceeds of $5.9 million placed into escrow to complete the expansion of the Company's Hagerstown, Maryland cultivation facility (the "Hagerstown Facility"), with any unused proceeds to be released to the Company after completion of the Hagerstown Facility expansion. The Company used $46.8 million of the Initial CREM Distribution to fully repay certain of its outstanding debt obligations. These payments were comprised of $32.7 million to pay off its previous term loan administered by Chicago Atlantic Admin, LLC, $11.9 million to pay off the mortgage with Bank of New England for the New Bedford, MA and Middleborough, MA properties, and $2.2 million to reduce the outstanding balance of the note issued by the Company in connection with the Ermont Acquisition (described below).
The Company incurred bank closing costs and third party costs (i.e., legal fees, etc.) aggregating $1.5 million in connection with the CREM Loan Transaction, which were recorded as a discount to the Loan Transaction (the "CREM Closing Costs Discount"), and which are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the CREM Loan Transaction. The Company recorded approximately $18,000
The CREM Loan Agreement includes customary representations and warranties and customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to material indebtedness, and events of bankruptcy and insolvency. The CREM Loan Agreement also includes customary negative covenants limiting the CREM Borrowers' (but not the Company's) ability to incur additional indebtedness and grant liens that are otherwise not permitted, among others. The CREM Loan Agreement also requires the CREM Borrowers to meet certain periodic financial tests.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company made payments aggregating $1.5 million, comprised of $0.3 million of principal and $1.2 million of interest. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company made payments aggregating $1.5 million, comprised of $0.3 million of principal and $1.2 million of interest. The current portion of the outstanding principal balance of the CREM Loan was $1.3
Effective December 31, 2025, the Company and the CREM Borrowers entered into a First Amendment to the CREM Loan Agreement (the "Amendment") in connection with a federal tax lien filed against the Company relating to its 2023 income taxes (the "Tax Lien"), which the Company is disputing (the "Disputed Taxes"). Pursuant to the Amendment, beginning in January 2026, the CREM Borrowers are required to deposit $100,000 per month into a non-interest-bearing cash collateral reserve account to be held by the CREM Lender until the full amount of the Disputed Taxes is on deposit. The account is pledged as additional collateral under the CREM Loan Agreement and the amounts on deposit are available for payment of the Disputed Taxes. The Amendment also modified the CREM Borrowers' reporting obligations under the CREM Loan Agreement. All other material terms of the CREM Loan Agreement remain in effect.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Restructuring and Exchange Agreement
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
The Company had 4,908,333 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series B Stock") outstanding at December 31, 2025, which were held by three institutional stockholders. The Series B Stock ranked senior to the Company’s common stock with respect to dividend and liquidation rights. In the event of liquidation, the Series B Holders were entitled to receive $3.00 per share, plus any declared but unpaid dividends, prior to any distribution to the Company's common stockholders. At any time on or prior to February 28, 2026, the Series B Holders could convert their shares of Series B Stock into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $3.00 per share. The Company also had the option to force conversion if the Company's common stock traded above specified thresholds.
On February 28, 2026, the six-year anniversary of the issuance of the Series B Stock, all such outstanding shares were scheduled to automatically convert into 4,908,333 shares of the Company's common stock and the Company would have been required to pay the Series B Holders the Series B Obligation, calculated as an amount equal to the difference between the sixty-day VWAP of $0.1018 and $3.00 per share, or $14.2 million.
Restructuring and Exchange Agreement
On February 24, 2026, the Company and the Series B Holders entered into the Series B Restructuring Agreement to restructure the Series B Obligation.
Pursuant to the Series B Restructuring Agreement, the then-outstanding shares of Series B Stock were cancelled, and the Series B Obligation was extinguished. In exchange, the Company issued to the Series B Holders:
•the New Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $8.0 million, comprised of:
◦Note #1 in the principal amount of $2.0 million, due March 1, 2028, accruing interest at a rate of 8.0 % per annum; and
◦Note #2 in the principal amount of $6.0 million, due March 1, 2031, accruing interest at a rate of 10.0 % per annum (subject to reduction to 8.0 % if Note #1 is paid in full within (6) months of February 24, 2026); and
•26,900,000 shares of the New Series B Preferred Stock, with an aggregate liquidation preference of $6.725 million ($0.25 per share), and the rights, preferences and privileges set forth in the Amended Certificate of Designation.
The New Notes are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company pursuant to a Subsidiary Guaranty.
The New Series B Preferred Stock is non-voting. However, the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of the New Series B Preferred Stock (the "New Series B Holders") voting separately as a class is required for certain acts taken by the Company, including the amendment or repeal of certain charter provisions, liquidation or winding up of the Company, creation of stock senior to the New Series B Preferred Stock, and/or other acts as defined in the Amended Certificate of Designation. The New Series B Preferred Stock shall, with respect to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding up and dissolution, rank senior to the common stock. The Company shall not declare, pay, or set aside any dividends on shares of any other class or series of capital stock of the Company unless the New Series B Holders shall first receive, or simultaneously receive, a dividend on each outstanding share of New Series B Preferred Stock in an amount calculated pursuant to the Amended Certificate of Designation.
In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the New Series B Holders shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders before any payment shall be made to the holders of common stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to $0.25 , plus any dividends declared but unpaid thereon, with any remaining assets distributed on a prorated basis among the New Series B Holders and the holders of common stock, based on the number of shares held by each such holder, treating for this purpose all such securities as if they had been converted to common stock.
21
At any time on or prior to the five-year anniversary of the original issuance date of the New Series B Preferred Stock, (i) the New Series B Holders have the option to convert their shares of New Series B Preferred Stock into shares of common stock on a one -for-one basis, without the payment of additional consideration, and (ii) the Company has the option to convert all, but not less than all, of the shares of New Series B Preferred Stock into shares of common stock, on a one -for-one basis, if the VWAP exceeds $2.00 per share for at least consecutive trading days prior to the date on which the Company gives notice of such conversion to the New Series B Holders and the average daily volume of shares traded is at least 400,000 shares.
On February 25, 2031, all outstanding shares of New Series B Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into common stock as follows:
If the sixty-day VWAP is less than or equal to $0.25 per share, the Company shall have the option to:
•convert all shares of New Series B Preferred Stock into shares of common stock at a conversion ratio of 1 :1 (26,900,000 shares), subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, and pay cash to the New Series B Holders equal to the difference between the sixty-day VWAP and $0.25 per share; or
•pay cash to the New Series B Holders equal to $0.25 per share ($6.725 million).
If the sixty-day VWAP is greater than $0.25 per share, the Company shall have the option to:
•convert all shares of New Series B Preferred Stock into shares of common stock at a conversion price per share equal to $0.25 per share divided by the sixty-day VWAP;
•pay cash to the New Series B Holders equal to $0.25 per share ($6.725 million); or
•convert a number of shares of New Series B Preferred Stock, such number at the Company's sole discretion, into shares of the common stock valued at the sixty-day VWAP (the "Conversion Value") and pay cash to the New Series B Holders equal to the difference between $6.725 million and the Conversion Value (shares issued multiplied by the sixty-day VWAP).
The Company shall at all times when New Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding, reserve and keep available such number of its duly authorized shares of common stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of New Series B Preferred Stock.
The Company evaluated the transaction and determined that the transaction represented an extinguishment of the Series B Stock and the issuance of new financial instruments with substantially different economic terms and legal rights. The New Notes require contractual cash repayment, bear stated cash interest and do not contain equity conversion features. Accordingly, the New Notes met the definition of debt and were recorded as liabilities at fair value as of the date of issuance (see Note 9) . The New Series B Preferred Stock does not require unconditional redemption at a fixed date, contains contingent cash settlement features and provides the Company with settlement discretion, as described above. Accordingly, the Company determined that the New Series B Preferred Stock should be classified as mezzanine equity. The New Notes, net of debt discount, are included as components of liabilities and the New Series B Preferred Stock is reported as mezzanine equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2026.
The Company recorded the New Notes and the New Series B Preferred Stock at their respective fair values at the transaction date and allocated the total consideration transferred based on their relative fair values. The Company recognized a non-cash gain on the extinguishment of $0.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, representing the excess of the carrying value of the Series B Obligation over the aggregate fair value of the New Notes and New Series B Preferred Stock. The New Notes, net of debt discount, are included as components of liabilities (see Note 9) and the New Series B Preferred Stock is reported as mezzanine equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2026.

The Company operates as a single reporting segment engaged in the cultivation, processing and sale of branded cannabis products. The Chief Operating Decision Makers are the Company's Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, who together (the "CODM"), evaluate company performance based on Net income (loss), determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure.
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as income (loss) from operations, determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding the following:
•depreciation and amortization of property and equipment;
•amortization of acquired intangible assets;
•impairments or write-downs of acquired intangible assets;
•inventory revaluation;
•stock-based compensation;
•severance;
•legal settlements; and
•acquisition-related and other.
The CODM uses these measures to assess profitability and guide resource allocations, and believes that Adjusted EBITDA, when reviewed in conjunction with Net income (loss), is a useful measure to assess the Company's performance and liquidity, as it provides meaningful operating results by excluding the effects of expenses that are not reflective of the Company's operating business performance. In addition, the CODM uses Adjusted EBITDA to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, and for financial and operational decision-making and resource allocation. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The CODM conducts monthly financial reviews, focusing on revenue trends, gross margin performance and operational efficiency across the Company's vertically integrated operations. Investment decisions, including capital expenditures for new cultivation facilities and retail expansion, are made based on expected return on investment and regulatory considerations in each state in which the Company operates.

(13) REVENUE
The Company’s main sources of revenue are comprised of the following:
•Product sales (retail and wholesale). The Company's product sales are derived from direct sales of cannabis and cannabis-infused products primarily by its retail dispensaries and wholesale operations in multiple states. The Company recognizes revenue when products are delivered to third parties or at the Company's retail points-of-sale.
•Other revenue. The Company's other revenue is comprised of real estate rentals to cannabis-licensed clients; supply procurement fees from facilitating purchases of resources, supplies and equipment for cannabis-licensed clients and third parties; management fees for providing cannabis-licensed clients with comprehensive oversight of their operations; and licensing fees from the licensing of its branded products to wholesalers and regulated dispensaries.
The Company recognizes revenue in amounts that represent the consideration that it expects to receive in exchange for goods or services provided to customers as follows:
•Identify the contract(s) with a customer;
•Identify the performance obligations in the contract(s);
•Determine the transaction price;
•Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s); and
•Recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.
Additionally, when another party is involved in providing goods or services to the Company’s clients, a determination is made as to who - the Company or the other party - is acting in the capacity as the principal in the sale transaction, and who is the agent arranging for goods or services to be provided by the other party.
The Company is typically considered the principal if it controls the specified good or service before such good or service is transferred to its client, and typically considered the agent if it does not exert such control. The Company may also be deemed to be the principal even if it engages another party (an agent) to satisfy some of the performance obligations on its behalf, provided the Company (i) takes on certain responsibilities, obligations and risks, (ii) possesses certain abilities and discretion, or (iii) fulfills other relevant indicators of the sale. If deemed an agent, the Company does not recognize revenue for the performance obligations it does not satisfy.

Customer Loyalty Program
The Company has a customer loyalty program (the "Loyalty Program") under which customers who participate in the Loyalty Program earn points based on qualifying purchases that can be redeemed for discounts on future purchases. A portion of the transaction price is allocated to the loyalty points based on their relative standalone selling price, and revenue is deferred until the points are redeemed or expire.
(14) MAJOR CUSTOMERS
The Company did not have any customers that contributed 10% or more of total revenue in either of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 or 2025.
The Company did not have any customers that accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivable balance at either March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral on accounts receivable. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts and historical losses have been within management’s expectations.
(15) LEASES
Arrangements that are determined to be leases with a term greater than one year are accounted for by the recognition of right-of-use assets that represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities that represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Non-lease components within lease agreements are accounted for separately.
Right-of-use assets and obligations are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, utilizing the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
At March 31, 2026, the Company was the lessee under nine operating leases and thirty-three finance leases. These leases contain rent holidays and customary escalations of lease payments for the type of facilities being leased. The Company's operating leases include its corporate headquarters, dispensaries and cannabis production and processing facilities. Prior to the FSC Acquisition Date, the Company subleased three of these leased facilities to FSC and recognized rental income from these arrangements.
The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term, including cancelable option periods which the Company fully expects to exercise. Certain leases require the payment of property taxes, insurance and/or maintenance costs in addition to the rent payments. The Company leases machinery and office equipment under finance leases that expire from January 2026 through August 2031, with such terms being a major part of the economic useful life of the leased property.

(16) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company’s corporate offices are leased from an entity in which the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer (the "CEO") has an investment interest. This lease expires in October 2028 and contains a five-year extension option. Expenses incurred under this lease were approximately $70,000 and $77,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
The Company procures nutrients, lab equipment, cultivation supplies, furniture, and tools from an entity owned by the family of the Company’s Chief Operating Officer (the “COO”). Purchases from this entity totaled $1.4
The Company pays royalties on the revenue generated from its Betty’s Eddies product line to an entity owned by the COO and the Chief Commercial Officer under a royalty agreement. Under this agreement, the royalty percentage on all sales of Betty’s Eddies products is 3.0 % if sold directly by the Company and between 1.35 % and 2.5 % if licensed by the Company for sale by third parties. Future developed products have a royalty rate of 0.5 % if sold directly by the Company and between 0.125 % and 0.135 % if licensed by the Company for sale by third parties. The aggregate royalties earned by the
27
entity under this agreement were approximately $174,000 and $163,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, one of the Company’s majority-owned subsidiaries paid or accrued distributions of $1,995 and $1,785 , respectively, to the CEO, who owns a minority equity interest in such subsidiary.
The CEO and COO own 5 % and 15 %, respectively, of the membership units of Mari Holdings Metropolis, LLC, one of the Company's majority-owned subsidiaries. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, this majority-owned subsidiary recorded distributions of $5,000 and $15,000 to the CEO and COO, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, this majority-owned subsidiary accrued distribution payments of $3,000 and $9,000 to the CEO and COO, respectively.
At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had an outstanding accounts payable balance of approximately $224,000 and $448,000 , respectively, primarily in connection with fixed assets purchased from a third-party company in which the CEO has a controlling interest. The Company assumed approximately $35,000 of accounts payable to that company as part of the FSC Acquisition, which is included in the previously described balances. The Company also assumed an accounts payable amount of $21,000 from FSC to a second company in which the CEO has a controlling interest, which amount was outstanding at each of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. These assumed liabilities related to cash advances to FSC in periods prior to the FSC Acquisition Date. In addition, the Company had outstanding payables to the CEO aggregating approximately $259,000 and $50,000 at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, for amounts that the CEO had advanced to the Company for certain operating activities.
At March 31, 2026, the Company’s mortgages with Bank of New England and DSB were personally guaranteed by the CEO.
(17) INCOME TAXES
The following table summarizes the Company's income tax provision and effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands, except percentages):
| Three months ended | |||||||||||
| March 31, | |||||||||||

| Loss before income taxes | $ | ( | $ | ( | |||||||
| Income tax provision | $ | $ | |||||||||
| Effective tax rate | ( | % | ( | % | |||||||
The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were calculated using the discrete method based on the Company's period-to-date results adjusted for permanent and temporary differences.
Due to its cannabis operations, the Company is subject to the limitations of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "IRC"), Section 280E under which the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to cost of goods sold of cannabis products. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC Section 280E. As a result, the effective tax rate can be highly variable and may not necessarily correlate with pre-tax income and provides for effective tax rates that are well in excess of statutory tax rates.
On April 23, 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice (the "DOJ") issued a final order that placed both FDA-approved drugs containing cannabis and cannabis subject to a qualifying state medical list in Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act. As a result, business conducted within these categories is no longer subject to IRC Section 280E, allowing for full deduction of ordinary and necessary business expenses. Due to the timing of when the final order was issued, the Company did not record the impact in its income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The Company continues to monitor guidance from the DOJ and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") to properly record and disclose any impact in its future financial statements.
28
In February 2026, the IRS filed a lien against FSC in connection with an approximate $1 million tax liability for the years 2023 and 2024, which periods were prior to the FSC Acquisition Date. The Company recorded this liability as part of the allocation of the purchase consideration for FSC. The Company is disputing the assessment through a Collection Due Process (“CDP”) Hearing and pursuing a resolution, including potential reduction or collection alternatives. While the matter is pending, IRS enforcement is generally stayed. Although the liability is fully accrued in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, an unfavorable outcome could materially impact the Company’s operations and financial position.
In June 2025, the IRS filed a lien against the Company in connection with an approximate $6 million 2023 tax liability. The Company is disputing the assessment through a CDP Hearing and pursuing a resolution, including potential reduction or collection alternatives. While the matter is pending, IRS enforcement is generally stayed. Although the liability is fully accrued in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, an unfavorable outcome could materially impact the Company’s operations and financial position.
(18) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation Risk
From time to time, the Company may become involved in litigation or regulatory proceedings in the ordinary course of it business. The cannabis industry is highly regulated, and many aspects o the Company's business involve substantial risk of liability. Further, as an employer of a significant number of full- and part-time employees, from time to time in the ordinary course of business, the Company aces claims and threatened claims from former employees alleging wrongful termination and other similar alleged wrongdoing, which the Company disputes and which are not material.
Bankruptcy Claim
In 2019, MariMed Hemp, Inc. ("MMH"), a subsidiary of the Company, sold hemp seed inventory to GenCanna Global Inc., (“GenCanna”), recording a related party receivable of approximately $29 million, which was fully reserved at December 31, 2019. In early 2020, GenCanna entered a Chapter 11 bankruptcy, leading to a liquidating plan that remains ongoing. In 2022, the Plan Administrator filed a complaint against MMH for alleged preferential transfers, which was settled in 2023 by reducing MMH's general unsecured claim to $15.5 million. In the three months ended September 30, 2024, MMH received a liquidation distribution of $116,250 . On October 1, 2025, an incremental final liquidation distribution of $50,281 was received.
New Bedford, MA and Middleborough, MA Buildouts
In the third quarter of 2023, the Company recorded an increase of $2.0 million in building and building improvements and a corresponding accrued liability in the same amount for electrical work performed at the Company's New Bedford and Middleborough properties between December 2017 and June 2023. The electrical work was performed by an electrical contractor that was owned and/or controlled by the family of a non-officer/director Company stockholder who beneficially owned more than 5 % of the Company's common stock when the electrical work began. The electrical work was primarily paid for by an entity that is indirectly controlled by that individual and another non-officer/director Company stockholder who also beneficially owned more than 5 % of the Company's common stock when the electrical work began. The Company repaid the two shareholders $300,000 each as salary between 2021 and 2023 (at the rate of $100,000 each per year). Discussions to reach agreement with the entity that paid for the electrical work and all other interested parties to address this liability and related payment terms are ongoing.
(19) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Overview
We are a multi-state cannabis operator in the United States, headquartered in Norwood, Massachusetts, dedicated to improving lives every day through our high-quality products, our actions, and our values. We develop, own and manage seed to sale state-licensed, state-of-the-art, regulatory-compliant facilities for the cultivation, production and dispensing of medicinal and adult-use cannabis. We have created and continue to develop our own brands of premium cannabis flower, concentrates, edibles and other precision-dosed products utilizing our proprietary strains and formulations. We also license our proprietary brands, along with other top cannabis products, in select domestic markets, although licensing revenues are not material to our overall results of operations. Cannabis remains illegal under United States federal law. Our operations are conducted in compliance with applicable state and local laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate.
We completed the acquisition of First State Compassion Center ("FSC"), the leading cannabis operator in Delaware, effective March 1, 2025 (the "FSC Acquisition Date"). Prior to our acquisition of FSC (the "FSC Acquisition"), FSC had been our managed services client. The financial results of FSC are included in our consolidated financial statements for the periods subsequent to the FSC Acquisition Date.
On February 24, 2026, we and the holders of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series B Holders") entered into a Restructuring and Exchange Agreement (the "Series B Restructuring Agreement") to restructure our existing obligation under the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series B Obligation"). Pursuant to the Series B Restructuring Agreement, all outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock were cancelled, and the Series B Obligation was extinguished. In exchange, we issued to the Series B Holders (i) two new promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $8.0 million, one in the principal amount of $2.0 million, due March 1, 2028, accruing
30
interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum (“Note #1”) and the other in the principal amount of $6.0 million, due March 1, 2031, accruing interest at a rate of 10.0% per annum (subject to reduction to 8.0% if Note #1 is paid in full within six (6) months of February 24, 2026) (“Note #2” collectively with Note #1, the “New Notes”), and (ii) 26,900,000 shares of an amended and restated class of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “New Series B Preferred Stock”), having an aggregate liquidation preference of $6.725 million ($0.25 per share), and the rights, preferences and privileges set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on February 26, 2026. The New Notes are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries pursuant to a Subsidiary Guaranty, dated as of February 24, 2026. We recognized a gain on the extinguishment of $0.7 million.
We continue to focus on executing our strategic growth plan, with priority on activities that include the following:
•Increasing our product brand revenue by:
◦strengthening our cultivation and processing capabilities to ensure a reliable, high-quality supply of raw materials that will enhance product consistency, quality, and innovation;
◦developing and launching innovative new products that align with consumer preferences and demand;
◦offering new effects and formulations that differentiate our existing brands;
◦broadening our distribution network in existing markets to maximize our reach and brand visibility; and
◦expanding our distribution into new markets through new license applications, acquisitions of existing cannabis businesses, and/or identification of qualified licensing partners.
•Increasing retail store revenue by:
◦driving additional and higher average transactions in our existing stores through an outstanding customer experience that prioritizes our product selection and the ease of the shopping experience; and
◦expanding our dispensary footprint in current markets where regulations allow and into new markets through new license applications and/or acquisitions of existing cannabis businesses.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, knowledge of current conditions and beliefs of what could occur in the future given available information. If actual results differ significantly from management’s estimates and projections, there could be a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. We consider the following accounting policies to be both those most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and those that require the most subjective judgment: accounts receivable; valuation of inventory; estimated useful lives and depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and intangible assets; accounting for acquisitions and business combinations; loss contingencies and reserves; stock-based compensation; and accounting for income taxes.
Accounts Receivable
We provide credit to our clients in the form of payment terms. We limit our credit risk by performing credit evaluations of our clients and maintaining a reserve, as applicable, for potential credit losses. Such evaluations are judgmental in nature and include a review of each client’s outstanding balances with consideration toward such client’s historical collection experience, as well as prevailing economic and market conditions, and other factors. Accordingly, the actual amounts collected could differ from expected amounts and require that we record additional reserves.
31
Inventory
Our inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market, including consideration of factors such as shrinkage, the aging of and future demand for inventory, expected future selling price, what we expect to realize by selling the inventory and the contractual arrangements with customers. Reserves for excess and obsolete inventory are based upon quantities on hand, projected volumes from demand forecasts, and net realizable value. These estimates are judgmental in nature and are made at a point in time, using available information, expected business plans and expected market conditions. As a result, the actual amount received on sale could differ from the estimated value of inventory. Periodic reviews are performed on the inventory balance. The impact of any changes in inventory reserves is reflected in cost of goods sold.
Estimated Useful Lives and Depreciation and Amortization of Property, Equipment, and Intangible Assets
Depreciation and amortization of property, equipment, and intangible assets are dependent upon estimates of useful lives, which are determined through the exercise of judgment. The assessment of any impairment of these assets is dependent upon estimates of recoverable amounts that take into account factors such as economic and market conditions and the useful lives of assets.
Business Combinations and Asset Purchases
Classification of a business acquisition as a business combination or an asset acquisition depends on whether the assets acquired constitute a business, which can be a complex judgment. Whether an acquisition is classified as a business combination or asset acquisition can have a significant impact on how we record the transaction.
We allocate the purchase price of acquired assets and companies to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the net amount of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed and represents the expected future economic benefits from other assets acquired in the acquisition or business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Significant judgments and assumptions are required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, particularly acquired intangible assets, which are principally based upon estimates of the future performance and cash flows expected from the acquired asset or business and applied discount rates. While we use our best estimates and assumptions as part of the purchase price allocation process to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, our estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. If different assumptions are used, it could materially impact the purchase price allocation and our financial position and results of operations. Any adjustments to assets acquired or liabilities assumed subsequent to the purchase price allocation period are included in operating results in the period in which the adjustments are determined. Intangible assets typically are comprised of trademarks and trade names, licenses and customer relationships, and non-compete agreements.
Loss Contingencies and Reserves
We are subject to ongoing business risks arising in the ordinary course of business that affect the estimation process of the carrying value of assets, the recording of liabilities, and the possibility of various loss contingencies. An estimated loss contingency is accrued when it is probable that a liability has been incurred or an asset has been impaired and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We regularly evaluate current information available to determine whether such amounts should be adjusted and record changes in estimates in the period they become known. We are subject to legal claims from time to time. We reserve for legal contingencies and legal fees when the amounts are probable and estimable.
Customer Loyalty Program
We have a customer loyalty program (the “Loyalty Program”) under which customers who participate in the Loyalty Program earn points based on qualifying purchases that can be redeemed for discounts on future purchases. A portion of the transaction price is allocated to the loyalty points based on their relative standalone selling price, and revenue is deferred until the points are redeemed or expire.
Stock-Based Compensation
Our stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. We use the Black-Scholes valuation model for
32
estimating the fair value of stock options as of the date of grant. Determining the fair value of stock option awards at the grant date requires judgment regarding certain valuation assumptions, including the volatility of our stock price, expected term of the stock option, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. Changes in such assumptions and estimates could result in different fair values and could therefore impact our earnings. Such changes, however, would not impact our cash flows.
Income Taxes
We use the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the future tax consequences of differences between the tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities, measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent our management concludes that it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. To assess the recoverability of any tax assets recorded on the balance sheet, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including our past operating results, the existence of cumulative income in the most recent years, changes in the business in which we operate and our forecast of future taxable income. In determining future taxable income, we make assumptions, including the amount of state and federal pre-tax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage our businesses.
Results of Operations
Three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
Revenue
Our main sources of revenue are comprised of the following:
•Product sales (retail and wholesale). Our product sales are derived from direct sales of cannabis and cannabis-infused products primarily by our retail dispensaries and wholesale operations in multiple states. We recognize revenue when products are delivered to third parties or at our retail points-of-sale.
•Other revenue. Our other revenue is comprised of real estate rentals to cannabis-licensed clients; supply procurement fees from facilitating purchases of resources, supplies and equipment for cannabis-licensed clients and third parties; management fees for providing cannabis-licensed clients with comprehensive oversight of their operations; and licensing fees from the licensing of our branded products to wholesalers and regulated dispensaries.
We recognize revenue in amounts that represent the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for goods or services provided to customers as follows:
•Identify the contract(s) with a customer;
•Identify the performance obligations in the contract(s);
•Determine the transaction price;
•Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s); and
•Recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.
Additionally, when another party is involved in providing goods or services to our clients, a determination is made as to who - us or the other party - is acting in the capacity as the principal in the sale transaction, and who is the agent arranging for goods or services to be provided by the other party.
We are typically considered the principal if we control the specified good or service before such good or service is transferred to our client, and typically considered the agent if we do not exert such control. We may also be deemed to be the principal even if we engage another party (an agent) to satisfy some of the performance obligations on our behalf, provided we (i) take on certain responsibilities, obligations and risks, (ii) possess certain abilities and discretion, or (iii) fulfill other relevant indicators of the sale. If deemed an agent, we do not recognize revenue for the performance obligations we do not satisfy.

Our product sales increased by $1.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in retail sales was primarily attributable to our dispensaries in Delaware and Maryland, partially offset by lower sales in certain of our other dispensaries in Illinois and, to a lesser extent, our Massachusetts dispensaries. The increase in our wholesale revenue was primarily attributable to higher wholesale revenue in Delaware and Illinois, partially offset by lower wholesale revenue in Maryland. The decrease in total other revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to the cessation of revenue recognition from management fees, rental income and other components of other income from FSC prior to its acquisition by us in March 2025.
Cost of Revenue, Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Our cost of revenue represents the direct costs associated with the generation of our revenue, including licensing, packaging, supply procurement, manufacturing, supplies, depreciation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and other product-related costs.
Our cost of revenue, gross profit and gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

The increase in our cost of revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to higher employee- and facilities-related expenses. This increase primarily resulted from the inclusion of FSC expenses for the full quarter in 2026 and the expansion of our production footprint in Maryland.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses are comprised of personnel, marketing and promotion, general and administrative, acquisition-related and other, and bad debt expenses. Our operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

Our personnel expenses were relatively unchanged in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The slight decrease in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same prior year period was primarily attributable to the elimination of employee expenses in connection with our pre-acquisition operations in Missouri, which we exited in the fourth quarter of 2025, coupled with lower employee cash incentive payments. Personnel costs decreased to approximately 18% of revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2026, from approximately 19% in the three months ended March 31, 2025.
The decrease in our marketing and promotion expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to our planned reductions to these expenditures; however, we continue to focus on judicious marketing initiatives that expand the branding and distribution of our licensed products.
The increase in our general and administrative expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 were primarily attributable to higher facility-related, employee travel and entertainment, and depreciation expenses. These increases were largely offset by decreases in certain other general and administrative expenses, such as stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and insurance.
Acquisition-related and other expenses include those expenses related to acquisitive activities and other significant transactions that we would otherwise not have incurred, and include professional and services fees, such as legal, audit, consulting, paying agent and other fees. Our acquisition-related and other expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2026 primarily related to multiple pre-acquisitive and similar activities. Our acquisition-related and other expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily related to the FSC Acquisition.
We recorded $0.1 million of bad debt expense in the three months ended March 31, 2026 to reserve for certain trade receivable accounts. We recorded $1.4 million of bad debt expense in the three months ended March 31, 2025, comprised of $1.3 million of expense to fully reserve an amount due from a credit card service provider (the "Service Provider Receivable") and $0.1 million of expense to reserve for certain trade accounts receivable accounts. The reserve was reported as a component of Other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets at each of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Interest
Interest expense primarily relates to interest on mortgages and notes payable, as well as the CREM Loan (described below). Interest income primarily relates to our notes receivable.
Our net interest expense increased by $0.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase was primarily due to the inclusion in the three months of March 31, 2026 of interest on finance leases entered into in the third quarter of 2025.
Gain on Extinguishment of Debt
We recognized a gain on the extinguishment of debt of $0.7 million in connection with the Series B Restructuring Agreement described in the “Overview” section above.
Income Tax Provision
We recorded income tax provisions of $2.7 million and $2.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
We are subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which we operate, and consequently, income tax expense is a function of the allocation of taxable income by jurisdiction and the various activities that impact the timing of taxable events. As we operate in the federally illegal cannabis industry, we are subject to the limitations of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”), Section 280E, under which taxpayers are only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to cost of goods sold of cannabis products. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC Section 280E and a higher effective tax rate than most industries. As a result, our effective tax rate can be highly variable and may not necessarily correlate to pre-tax income or loss.
On April 23, 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) issued a final order that placed both FDA-approved drugs containing cannabis and cannabis subject to a qualifying state medical list in Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act.
35
As a result, business conducted within these categories is no longer subject to IRC Section 280E, allowing for full deduction of ordinary and necessary business expenses. Due to the timing of when the final order was issued, we did not record the impact in our income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2026. We continue to monitor guidance from the DOJ and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") to properly record and disclose any impact in our future financial statements.
In February 2026, the IRS filed a lien against FSC in connection with an approximate $1 million tax liability for the years 2023 and 2024, which periods were prior to the FSC Acquisition Date. We recorded this liability as part of the allocation of the purchase consideration for FSC. In June 2025, the IRS filed a lien against us in connection with an approximate $6 million 2023 tax liability. We are disputing these assessments through Collection Due Process Hearings and pursuing resolutions, including potential reductions or collection alternatives. While the matters are pending, IRS enforcement is generally stayed. Although the liabilities are fully accrued in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, unfavorable outcomes could materially impact our operations and financial position.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash aggregating $7.9 million and $8.9 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. In addition to the discussions below of our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, please also see our discussion of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA in the section “Non-GAAP Measurement” below, which discusses an additional financial measure not defined by GAAP which our management also uses to measure our liquidity.
CREM Loan
On November 16, 2023, Mari Holdings MD LLC, Hartwell Realty Holdings LLC, Kind Therapeutics USA, LLC, ARL Healthcare Inc., and MariMed Advisors, Inc., each a wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company (collectively, the "CREM Borrowers") entered into a Loan Agreement (the "CREM Loan Agreement"), by and among the CREM Borrowers, and Needham Bank, a Massachusetts co-operative bank (the "CREM Lender") pursuant to which the CREM Lender loaned to the CREM Borrowers an aggregate principal amount of $58.7 million (the "CREM Loan Transaction"). The Company has fully guaranteed the obligations of the CREM Borrowers under the CREM Loan Transaction and pledged to the CREM Lender its equity ownership in each CREM Borrower. The CREM Lender has a first priority security interest in all of the CREM Borrowers' operating assets in Maryland and Massachusetts and first priority mortgages on the CREM Borrowers' properties owned in Maryland and Massachusetts.
The CREM Loan Transaction is for a term of ten years and has an interest rate for the initial five years of 8.43% per annum. The interest rate will reset after five years to the FHLB Rate (the Classic Advance Rate for Fixed Rate advances for a period of five years for an amount greater than or equal to the loan amount, as such rate is defined and published by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston), plus 3.50%. We made interest-only payments for the first twelve months of the term of the loan, with payments thereafter based upon a twenty-year amortization schedule.
The CREM Lender initially released $52.8 million to the CREM Borrowers (the "Initial CREM Distribution"), with the remaining proceeds of $5.9 million placed into in escrow to complete the expansion of our Hagerstown, Maryland cultivation facility (the "Hagerstown Facility"). Any unused proceeds would be released to us after completion of the Hagerstown Facility expansion. We used $46.8 million of the Initial CREM Distribution to fully repay certain of our outstanding debt obligations. These payments were comprised of $32.7 million to repay the previous term loan with Chicago Atlantic Admin, LLC, $11.9 million to repay the mortgage with Bank of New England for our New Bedford, MA and Middleborough, MA properties (the "BNE Mortgage"), and $2.2 million to reduce the outstanding balance of the note we issued in connection with the 2023 acquisition of Ermont, Inc. in Quincy, Massachusetts. Concurrent with the repayment of the BNE Mortgage, we refinanced these properties through the CREM Loan and accordingly, effective November 16, 2023, the mortgage on these properties is held by the CREM Lender, which mortgage matures in 2033 and which outstanding amount is included as a component of the CREM Loan amount in our consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
The CREM Loan Agreement includes customary representations and warranties and customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to material indebtedness, and events of bankruptcy and insolvency. The CREM Loan Agreement also includes customary negative covenants limiting the CREM Borrowers' (but not the Company's) ability to incur additional
36
indebtedness and grant liens that are otherwise not permitted, among others. The CREM Loan Agreement also requires the CREM Borrowers to meet certain periodic financial tests.
Effective December 31, 2025, we and the CREM Borrowers entered into a First Amendment to the CREM Loan Agreement (the "Amendment") in connection with a federal tax lien filed against us relating to our 2023 income taxes (the "Tax Lien"), which we are disputing (the "Disputed Taxes"). Pursuant to the Amendment, beginning in January 2026, the CREM Borrowers are required to deposit $100,000 per month into a non-interest-bearing cash collateral reserve account to be held by the CREM Lender until the full amount of the Disputed Taxes is on deposit. The account is pledged as additional collateral under the CREM Loan Agreement and the amounts on deposit are available for payment of the Disputed Taxes. The Amendment also modified the CREM Borrowers' reporting obligations under the CREM Loan Agreement. All other material terms of the CREM Loan Agreement remain in effect.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Our primary sources of cash from operating activities are from sales to customers in our dispensaries and to our wholesale customers. We expect cash flows from operating activities to be affected by increases and decreases in sales volumes and timing of collections, and by purchases of inventory and shipment of our products. Our primary uses of cash for operating activities are for personnel costs, purchases of packaging and other materials required for the production and sale of our products, and income taxes.
Our operating activities provided $0.9 million and $1.3 million of cash in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The change in cash from operating activities in the current year period compared to the prior year was primarily attributable to expenses arising from expanding our geographic presence. These higher costs primarily relate to cultivation/manufacturing, personnel and facility-related expenses.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Our investing activities used $0.8 million and $0.1 million of cash in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we used $0.4 million for each of purchases of cannabis licenses and for capital expenditures. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we used $0.3 million of cash for capital expenditures and $0.1 million in the aggregate for advances toward future business acquisitions and purchases of cannabis licenses. These amounts were partially offset by $0.2 million of cash acquired in connection with the FSC Acquisition and approximately $26,000 of proceeds from notes receivable.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Our financing activities used $1.1 million and $1.3 million of cash in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we made $1.1 million of aggregate principal payments on our outstanding mortgages, promissory notes and finance leases, and approximately $49,000 of distribution payments. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we made $1.2 million of aggregate principal payments on our outstanding mortgages, promissory notes and finance leases, and approximately $58,000 of distribution payments.
Based on our current expectations, we believe our current cash and future funding opportunities will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months. The rate at which we consume cash is dependent on the cash needs of our future operations, including our contractual obligations at March 31, 2026, and our ability to raise additional cash through financing activities. Our contractual obligations at March 31, 2026 were primarily comprised of our outstanding CREM Loan, mortgages, promissory notes, and operating and finance leases. Our CREM Loan, mortgage and promissory note obligations totaled approximately $79 million at March 31, 2026.
Non-GAAP Measurement
In addition to the financial information reflected in this report, which is prepared in accordance with GAAP, we are providing a non-GAAP financial measurement of profitability – Adjusted EBITDA – as a supplement to the preceding discussion of our financial results.
37
Our management defines Adjusted EBITDA as income (loss) from operations, determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding the following:
•depreciation and amortization of property and equipment;
•amortization of acquired intangible assets;
•impairments or write-downs of acquired intangible assets;
•inventory revaluation;
•stock-based compensation;
•severance;
•legal settlements; and
•acquisition-related and other.
Our management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure to assess our performance and liquidity, as it provides meaningful operating results by excluding the effects of expenses that are not reflective of our operating business performance. In addition, our management uses Adjusted EBITDA to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, and for financial and operational decision-making. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Our management believes that investors and analysts benefit from considering Adjusted EBITDA in assessing our financial results and our ongoing business, as it allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the business. Adjusted EBITDA is used by many investors and analysts themselves, along with other metrics, to compare financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies.
As there are no standardized methods of calculating non-GAAP measurements, our calculations may differ from those used by analysts, investors, and other companies, even those within the cannabis industry, and therefore they may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures used by others.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Inflation
In the opinion of management, inflation has impacted us through increased costs of ingredients, nutrients and packaging. We recently negotiated with certain of our suppliers to reduce our costs for future purchases of ingredients, nutrients and packaging, all of which have increased significantly as a result of current economic conditions.
38
Seasonality
In the opinion of management, our financial condition and results of its operations are not materially impacted by seasonal sales.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, and we do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements will have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
The Company is a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Regulation S-K and, as such, is not required to provide the information contained in this item pursuant to Regulation S-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of March 31, 2026 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the Company's management concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act (i) are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) are accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
There has been no material change to the status of the Company’s previously reported legal proceedings.
From time to time, the Company may become involved in litigation or regulatory proceedings in the ordinary course of its business, including litigation or regulatory proceedings that could become more material to the Company's business. The cannabis industry is highly regulated, and many aspects of the Company's business involve substantial risk of liability. Further, in past years, there has been an increasing incidence of litigation involving the cannabis industry including class action suits that generally seek substantial damages, and in some cases, punitive damages. Compliance problems that are reported to federal/state regulatory authorities, by dissatisfied customers are often investigated by such regulatory bodies, and, if pursued by a regulatory body or customer, may rise to the level of litigation or disciplinary action.
Further, as a significant employer of full- and part-time employees, from time to time in the ordinary course of business, the Company faces claims and threatened claims from former employees alleging wrongful termination and other similar alleged wrongdoing, which the Company disputes and which are not material.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to provide the information contained in this item pursuant to Regulation S-K. However, information regarding the Company’s risk factors appears in Part I, Item 1A. of its Annual
39
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the "Annual Report"). These risk factors describe some of the assumptions, risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could adversely affect the Company’s business or that could otherwise result in changes that differ materially from management’s expectations. There have been no material changes to the risk factors contained in the Annual Report.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
None.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not applicable.
Item 5. Other Information
On May 13, 2026, the Company entered into an employment agreement with each of Mario Pinho, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (the “Pinho Agreement”), and Ryan Crandall, the Company’s Chief Commercial Officer (the “Crandall Agreement” and, together with the Pinho Agreement the “Employment Agreements”). Each of Messrs. Pinho and Crandall is hereinafter referred to as an “Executive” and together as the “Executives”.
The following is a brief description of the material terms of the respective Employment Agreements:
Pursuant to the Employment Agreements, Mr. Pinho has a base salary of $300,000 and Mr. Crandall has a base salary of $315,000, each with a target bonus opportunity equal to 50% of his then-applicable annual base salary and a maximum bonus opportunity equal to 120% of his then-applicable annual base salary.
Each of the Employment Agreements provides for severance payments and benefits upon certain terminations of employment under the terms of their respective Employment Agreement. Upon termination of an Executive’s employment by the Company without Cause or by an Executive for Good Reason (each as defined in the Employment Agreements), such Executive is entitled to severance payments equal to: (i) 12 months of his base salary, payable over 12 months following termination; (ii) the aggregate sum of the Company’s share of medical, dental and vision insurance premiums for such Executive and his dependents for a 12-month period, payable over 12 months following termination; (iii) in the event such termination occurs less than six months following the commencement of the fiscal year, such Executive shall be entitled to receive a prorated target bonus, prorated based on the number of days actually employed in such fiscal year (the “Pro Rata Bonus”), payable on the severance commencement date; and (iv) in the event such termination occurs six months or later following the commencement of the fiscal year, an amount equal to the target bonus (the “Target Bonus”), payable on the severance commencement date. In addition, upon such termination, the Executive’s equity awards that are subject to vesting based solely upon such Executive’s continued service with the Company and that would have vested during the 12-month period following the date of termination of employment will vest.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a termination by the Company without Cause or by an Executive for Good Reason during a Change in Control Protection Period (as defined in the Employment Agreements), such Executive is entitled to receive a cash lump sum payment equal to: (a) the sum of 24 months of such Executive’s base salary; (b) two times such Executive’s Target Bonus for the calendar year in which the date of termination occurs; (c) the aggregate sum of the Company’s share of medical, dental and vision insurance premiums for such Executive and his dependents for a 24-month period; (d) in the event such termination occurs less than six months following the commencement of the fiscal year, such Executive shall be entitled to receive the Pro Rata Bonus, payable on the severance commencement date; and (e) in the event such termination occurs six months or later following the commencement of the fiscal year, an amount equal to the Target Bonus, payable on the severance commencement date. In addition, upon such termination, any of such Executive’s unvested equity awards outstanding immediately prior to the date of termination will automatically become fully vested and exercisable as of the date of termination.
40
In the event an Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated as a result of his death or Disability (as defined in the Employment Agreements), in addition to Accrued Benefits (as defined in the Employment Agreements), the Company will pay such Executive or his estate or representative the Pro Rata Bonus.
The foregoing summaries of the Employment Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Employment Agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.3 and 10.4 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
