Las Vegas, Nevada – March 23, 2023 – Planet 13 Holdings Inc. (CSE: PLTH) (OTCQX: PLNHF) (“Planet 13” or the “Company”), a leading vertically-integrated cannabis company, today announced its financial results for the three-month and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2022. Planet 13’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).
“Over the course of the year we saw state-wide pricing trends and the overall economic environment impact our revenue. Despite this backdrop, we continued to meet our goal of 8 – 10% of Nevada retail sales. For the full year we had 9% of the sales in Nevada. Towards the end of Q4 we saw those pricing compression trends start to stabilize and we remain optimistic about the outlook for 2023,” said Larry Scheffler, Co-CEO of Planet 13. “Despite the pressures on retail, we grew wholesale revenue by 26% year over year and had a top five brand in every product category. Moreover, in California, we increased our share of shelf and wholesale revenue every quarter.”
“Across our organization we are focused on three things: increasing profitability, preserving capital, and setting ourselves up for future growth,” commented Bob Groesbeck, Co-CEO of Planet 13. “At the end of 2022, we are in a solid position. We have no debt, positive operating cash flow, and over $50 million in cash. This is a strong foundation that alongside our numerous growth projects sets us up for future operating cash flow expansion.”
1 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
There are financial measures included in this press release that are not in accordance with GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures and metrics presented by other publicly traded companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as supplemental to, and not a substitute for, our reported financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company includes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because it believes certain investors use these measures and metrics as a means of assessing financial performance. EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA before share-based compensation, the change in fair value of warrants and one-time non-recurring expenses.
The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods presented:
