CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) includes certain statements that are not historical facts but are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You should not place undue reliance on such statements because they are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control and could cause our actual results to differ from the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, including descriptions of our business strategy. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “could,” “may,” “would,” “should,” “intend,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “forecast,” “will,” “expect,” “budget,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” “project,” “positioned,” “strategy,” “outlook” and similar expressions. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they:

•discuss future expectations;

•contain projections of future results of operations or financial condition; or

•state other “forward-looking” information.

All such forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and involve estimates and assumptions that are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in the statements. We believe it is important to communicate our expectations to our security holders. However, there may be future events that we are not able to predict accurately or over which we have no control. The risk factors and cautionary language discussed in this Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Annual Report” or “2022 Form 10-K”) provide examples of risks, contingencies, uncertainties, and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations described by us in such forward-looking statements, including among other things:

•our ability to continue as a going concern;

•our ability to maintain the listing of our securities on Nasdaq;

•changes adversely affecting the industry in which we operate;

•our restructuring plans;

•the availability or terms of future financing;

•our ability to achieve our business strategies;

•general economic conditions, including the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine (and resulting sanctions) on the global economy, global financial markets and our business;

•regional political and economic conditions, including the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, as well as emerging market conditions;

•the impact and magnitude of rising energy costs;

•the impact and magnitude of inflation and currency fluctuations;

•the regulation and legalization of adult-use, recreational cannabis;

•our ability to retain our key employees; and

•other factors that are more fully discussed in Part I, Item 1A of the "2022 Form 10-K" under the heading “Risk Factors”, and those discussed in other documents we file with the SEC.

These risks could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q.

All forward-looking statements included herein attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. Except to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations, we undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

This Form 10-Q contains estimates, projections and other information concerning our industry, our business, and the markets for our products. Information that is based on estimates, forecasts, projections, market research or similar methodologies is inherently subject to uncertainties, and actual events or circumstances may differ materially from events and circumstances that are assumed in this information. Unless otherwise expressly stated, we obtained this industry, business, market and other data from our own internal estimates and research as well as from reports, research surveys, studies and similar data prepared by market research firms and other third parties, industry, medical and general publications, government data and similar sources.

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

Clever Leaves Holdings Inc., (the “Company”) is a multi-national U.S. based holding company focused on cannabinoids. In addition to the cannabinoid business, the Company is also engaged in the non-cannabinoid business of nutraceutical and other natural remedies and wellness products. The Company is incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia, Canada.

The mailing address of the Company's principal executive office is Bodega 19-B Parque Industrial Tibitoc P.H, Tocancipá - Cundinamarca, Colombia.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements (“Financial Statements”) are unaudited. These Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures required for annual financial statements. These Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, which, in the opinion of the management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. All adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

The Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Company’s subsidiaries and respective ownership percentage has not changed from the year ended December 31, 2022.

These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2023 (the "Annual Report").

On August 24, 2023, the Company effected a one-for-thirty reverse share split of its common shares ((the “Reverse Share Split”), effective as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 24, 2023 (the “Effective Time”). All share and per share information in these financial statements has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Share Split. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Share Split. Instead, each fractional share remaining after completion of the Reverse Share Split that was less than half of a whole share was rounded down and canceled without consideration to the holders thereof and each fractional share that was at least half of a whole share was rounded up to one whole share.

Discontinued Operations

During the fiscal year 2022, the Company undertook various strategic initiatives aimed at reducing costs, improving organizational efficiency, and optimizing its business model. As part of these initiatives, the Company implemented several restructuring activities.

Additionally, in December 2022, the Company made the decision to shut down its Portugal operations in order to preserve cash. In January 2023, the Company further approved the wind-down of its entire Portuguese operations to enhance operating margin and focus solely on cannabis cultivation and production in Colombia. As part of this restructuring plan, the Company has completed the cessation of its Portuguese flower cultivation, post-harvest processes, and manufacturing activities. Subsequently, the post harvest facility has been sold and preparations are currently underway for the sale of the farm land with the objective of concluding the sale by March 31, 2024.

Considering the nature and extent of the restructuring activities undertaken, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 205, Presentation of Financial Statements, the Company has determined that these operations meet the "discontinued operations" criteria as of September 30, 2023. As a result, the condensed consolidated statements of financial position, the condensed consolidated statements of operations, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements have been restated for all periods presented to reflect the discontinuation of these operations in accordance with ASC 205.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share amounts and where otherwise noted)

Please refer to Note 19, "Discontinued Operations," for further details regarding the discontinued businesses. The discussion in the notes to these financial statements, unless otherwise noted, pertains solely to the Company's continuing operations.

Going Concern

These interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next twelve months from the date of issue.

As shown in the accompanying interim condensed financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit as of September 30, 2023, as well as operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and expects to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future until such time that it can generate significant revenue from the sale of its available inventories.

At September 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $6,472. As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s current working capital, anticipated operating expenses and net losses, and the uncertainties surrounding its ability to raise additional capital as needed, raise substantial doubt as to whether existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet its obligations as they come due within twelve months from the date the consolidated financial statements were issued. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments for the recovery and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s ability to execute its operating plans through 2023 and beyond depends on its ability to obtain additional funding, which may include several initiatives such as raising capital, reducing working capital, and monetizing non-core assets, to meet planned growth requirements and to fund future operations, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all.

Principles of Consolidation

The Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company's significant accounting policies are disclosed in its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in the Annual Report. Except as noted below, there have been no other changes in the Company's significant accounting policies as discussed in the Annual Report.

Use of Accounting Estimates

The preparation of these Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the Financial Statements and accompanying notes in the reported period. These estimates include, but are not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, determination of fair value of stock-based awards and estimate of incremental borrowing rate for determining the present value of future lease payments, intangible assets, useful lives of property and equipment, revenue recognition and income taxes and related tax asset valuation allowances. While the significant estimates made by management in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are reasonable, prudent, and evaluated on an ongoing basis, actual results may differ materially from those estimates.

Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with a forward-looking expected credit loss model which will result in earlier recognition of credit losses for certain financial instruments and financial assets. For trade receivables, we are required to estimate lifetime expected credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2023. We have adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326). After careful consideration and analysis, we have determined that the adoption of this pronouncement has not had a material impact on our financial reporting. Therefore, our financial statements and disclosures have not been significantly affected by the adoption of this standard.

Investment – Cansativa

Our investment in Cansativa's equity securities does not have a “readily determinable fair value,” or is not traded in a verifiable public market. The Company accounted for this investment under ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities. The Company used the practical expedient available under ASU 2016-01, the cost method investment which presents and carries this investment using the alternative measurement method which is cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in “orderly transactions,” as defined in ASC 321, for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. The Company periodically reviews the investments for other than temporary declines in fair value below cost and more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.

On October 17, 2023,Northern Swan Deutschland Holdings, Inc. (“Northern Swan”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into an agreement for sale of its remaining investments in the shares of Cansativa. The Company considered the sale price as fair value of the investment and recognized an impairment loss of $3,705 as the difference between fair value and carrying value of these investment at September 30, 2023. For more information, refer to Note 7 and Note 20.

Exercise Price	$11.50	$11.50
Expiration date	December 18, 2025	December 18, 2025

•The risk-free interest rate assumptions are based on U.S. dollar zero curve derived from swap rates at the valuation date, with a term to maturity matching the remaining term of warrants.

•The expected volatility assumptions are based on average of historical volatility based on comparable industry volatilities of public warrants.

•Exercise price and Share price at September 30, 2023 are adjusted post Reverse Share Split.

7. INVESTMENTS

Cansativa

On December 21, 2018, the Company, through its subsidiary Northern Swan , entered into a seed investment agreement with the existing stockholders of Cansativa GmbH (“Cansativa”), a German limited liability company primarily focused on the import and sale of cannabis products for medical use and related supplements and nutraceuticals. Prior to the Company’s investment, Cansativa’s registered and fully paid-in share capital amounted to 26,318 common shares. Under the investment agreement, the Company has agreed with the existing stockholders to invest up to EUR 7,000 in Cansativa in three separate tranches of, respectively, EUR 1,000, EUR 3,000 and up to a further EUR 3,000. The first EUR 1,000 (specifically, EUR 999.92, approximately $1,075, or “Seed Financing Round”) was invested in Cansativa to subscribe for 3,096 newly issued preferred voting shares at EUR 322.97 per preferred share, and as cash contributions from the Company to Cansativa. The seed EUR 322.97 per share price was based on a fully diluted pre-money valuation for Cansativa of EUR 8,500, and the increase of Cansativa’s registered share capital by the 3,096 preferred shares in the Seed Financing Round provided the Company with 10.53% of the total equity ownership of Cansativa. The Company paid the seed investment subscription by, first, an initial nominal payment of EUR 3.1, (i.e., EUR 1.00 per share) upon signing the investment agreement to demonstrate the Company’s intent to invest, and the remainder of EUR 996.82 was settled in January 2019 to officially close the investment deal after certain closing conditions have been met by the existing stockholders and Cansativa. The Company accounted for its investment in Cansativa using the equity accounting method, due to the Company's significant influence, in accordance with ASC 323, Investments — Equity Method and Joint Ventures.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share amounts and where otherwise noted)

The Company recorded its investment in Cansativa at the cost basis of an aggregated amount of EUR 999.92, approximately $1,075, which is comprised of EUR 3.10 for the initial nominal amount of the Seed Financing Round and EUR 996.82 for the remaining Seed Financing Round (i.e., Capital Reserve Payment), with no transaction costs.

In accordance with the seed investment agreement, in September 2019, the Company made an additional investment of approximately EUR 650, or approximately $722, for 2,138 shares in Cansativa, thereby increasing its equity ownership to 16.6% of the book value of Cansativa’s net assets of approximately EUR 1,233, and approximately EUR 1,122 of equity method goodwill as Cansativa was still in the process of getting the licenses and expanding its operations. As of September 30, 2020, the balance of Tranche 2 option expired un-exercised and as a result the Company recognized a loss on investment of approximately $370 in its Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and the carrying value of the Tranche 2 option was reduced to nil.

In December 2020, Cansativa allocated shares of its common stock to a newly installed employee-stock ownership plan (“ESOP”). As a result of the ESOP installment, the Company’s equity ownership of Cansativa, on a fully-diluted basis, decreased from 16.59% to 15.80% of the book value of Cansativa’s net assets. Additionally, Cansativa raised additional capital through the issuance of Series A preferred stock (“Cansativa Series A Shares”) to a third-party investor at a per share price of EUR 543.31. As a result of the Series A Share issuance, the Company’s equity ownership of Cansativa, on a fully diluted basis, decreased from 15.80% to 14.22% of the book value of Cansativa’s net assets. The Company accounted for the transaction as a proportionate sale of ownership share and recognized a gain of approximately $211 in its consolidated statement of operations within loss on investments line. This change did not impact the equity method classification.

In April 2022, the Company sold 1,586 shares in Cansativa to an unrelated third-party for approximately EUR 2,300. Additionally Cansativa issued 10,184 series B and 992 ESOP shares. As a result, the Company's equity ownership of Cansativa, on a fully diluted basis, decreased from 14.22% to 7.6% of the book value of Cansativa's net assets. Furthermore, the Company relinquished the board seat, indicating that the Company's influence was no longer "significant", to which the equity method of accounting was applicable. The Company started to account for this investment under ASC 321, Investments – Equity Securities. The Company utilized the practical expedient under ASC 321 as the investment does not qualify for the practical expedient under ASC 820 and there is no readily determinable fair value for these privately held shares of Cansativa on a recurring basis. At the time of the sale, the Company compared the transaction value of the shares sold to the carrying value of shares sold and recognized a gain of $1,983. Immediately following the sale, the Company then remeasured its retained interest which resulted in an additional gain of $4,868. A total of $6,851 is recorded as gain on investment during the nine months period ended September 30, 2022.

On October 17, 2023, Northern Swan entered into an agreement to sell a total of 3,648 shares of Cansativa to Cansativa and EIP Entrepreneurial Investment GmbH, representing Northern Swan’s entire interest in Cansativa, for approximately EUR 1.8 million ($1.9 million). The Company compared the subsequent transaction value of the shares sold to the carrying value and the impairment loss of $3,705 was recorded in the Consolidated statement of Operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Annual Impairment Testing

In accordance with ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other,” the Company performs its annual impairment test as

of December 31 of each year. As part of the review, the Company has performed a qualitative assessment to determine whether indicators of impairment existed, along with considering, among other factors, the financial performance, industry conditions, as well as microeconomic developments. The Company also reviews intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of its intangibles may not be recoverable. After the close of each interim quarter,

management assesses whether any indicators of impairment exist requiring the Company to perform an interim goodwill and other intangible assets impairment analysis.

Impairment Testing - Finite-Lived Intangibles

In conjunction with the 2022 annual impairment testing, the Company reviewed finite-lived intangible assets for impairment. In performing such review, the Company makes judgments about the recoverability of purchased finite lived intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may exist. The Company recognizes an impairment if the carrying amount of the long-lived asset group exceeds the Company’s estimate of the asset group’s undiscounted future

cash flows. For the nine months ended September 30 2023, no impairment was recognized related to the carrying value of any of the Company's finite lived intangible assets. The Company will perform an impairment test at fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.

Impairment Testing - Indefinite-Lived Intangibles

In 2022, due to the continued decline in the Company’s share price and the projected revenues falling behind target, the Company performed an interim impairment assessment on its indefinite-lived intangible assets, consisting of cannabis related licenses for its Colombian operations. Significant assumptions used in the impairment analysis include financial projections of free cash flow (including assumptions about revenue projections, regulations, operating margins, capital requirements and income taxes), long-term growth rates for determining terminal value beyond the discretely forecasted periods and discount rates. Utilizing a discounted cash flow model with a weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) of 24%, the Company performed the assessment and recognized an impairment charge of $19,000 along with the related deferred tax liability write-off of $6,650 for the year ended December 31, 2022. As a result of this recognition in 2022, no indefinite-lived intangible assets exist as of September 30, 2023.

Once a private warrant is transferred to a holder other than an affiliate or permitted transferee, it is treated as a public warrant for all purposes. The terms of the warrants may be amended in a manner that may be adverse to holders with the approval of the holders of at least a majority 50.1% of the then outstanding warrants.

In accordance to ASC 815, certain provisions of private warrants that do not meet the criteria for equity treatment are recorded as liabilities with the offset to additional paid-in capital and are measured at fair value at inception and at each reporting period in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss in the period of change.

Restricted Share Units

Time-based Restricted Share Units

The fair value for time-based RSUs is based on the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the grant date.

The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s time-based restricted share unit activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2023:


	Restricted Share Units	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value

Market-based Restricted Share Units

The Company has previously granted RSUs with both a market condition and a service condition (market-based RSUs) to the Company’s employees. No such market-based RSUs were granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The market-based condition for these awards requires that (i) the Company’s common shares maintain a closing price equal to or greater than $12.50 for any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30 trading day period on or before December 18, 2022 (which condition was met on March 16, 2021) or (ii) the Company's common shares maintain a closing price equal to or greater than $15.00 for any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30 trading day period on or before December 18, 2024. Provided that the market-based condition is satisfied, and the respective employee remains employed by the Company, the market-based restricted share units will vest in four equal annual installments on the applicable vesting date.

The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s market-based restricted share unit activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2023:

15. REVENUE

The Company’s policy is to recognize revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects that it will be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring goods or services to its customers. The Company’s policy is to record revenue when control of the goods transfers to the customer. The Company evaluates the transfer of control through evidence of the customer’s receipt and acceptance, transfer of title, the Company’s right to payment for those products and the customer’s

Table of Contents

CLEVER LEAVES HOLDINGS INC.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share amounts and where otherwise noted)

ability to direct the use of those products upon receipt. Typically, the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time, and revenue is recognized, either upon shipment or delivery of goods. In instances where control transfers upon customer acceptance, the Company estimates the time period it takes for the customer to take possession and the Company recognizes revenue based on such estimates. The transaction price is typically based on the amount billed to the customer and includes estimated variable consideration where applicable.

Disaggregation of Revenue

Refer to Note 16 Segment Reporting to our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2023 included in this Form 10-Q for disaggregation of revenue data.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billing and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable and deferred revenue primarily attributable to advanced customer payment, on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Accounts receivables are recognized in the period in which the Company's right to the consideration is unconditional. The Company's contract liabilities consist of advance payment from a customer, which is classified on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as current and non-current deferred revenue.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company's deferred revenue, included in current and non-current liabilities was $437 and $nil, respectively.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company's deferred revenue, included in current and non-current liabilities was $1,072 and $nil, respectively.

16. SEGMENT REPORTING

Operating segments include components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, “CEO”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing the Company’s performance.

Operating segments for the Company are organized by product type and managed by segment managers who are responsible for the operating and financial results of each segment. Due to the similarities in the manufacturing and distribution processes for the Company’s products, much of the information provided in these consolidated financial statements and the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements, is similar to, or the same as, that information reviewed on a regular basis by the Company’s CEO.

The Company’s management evaluates segment profit/loss for each of the Company’s operating segments. The Company defines segment profit/loss as income from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation expense, gains/losses on foreign currency fluctuations, gains/losses on the early extinguishment of debt and miscellaneous expenses. Segment profit/loss also excludes the impact of certain items that are not directly attributable to the reportable segments’ underlying operating performance. Such items are shown below in the table reconciling segment profit/(loss) to consolidated income/(loss) from continuing operations before income taxes. The Company does not have any material inter-segment sales. Information about total assets by segment is not disclosed because such information is not reported to or used by the Company’s CEO. Segment intangible assets, net, are disclosed in Note 8.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s operations were organized in the following two reportable segments:

1.The Cannabinoid operating segment: comprised of the Company’s cultivation, extraction, manufacturing and commercialization of cannabinoid products. This operating segment is in the early stages of commercializing cannabinoid products internationally pursuant to applicable international and domestic legislation, regulations, and other permits. The Company’s principal customers and sales for its products are primarily outside of the U.S.

2.Non-Cannabinoid operating segment: comprised of the brands acquired as part of the Herbal Brands acquisition in April 2019. The segment is engaged in the business of formulating, manufacturing, marketing, selling, distributing, and otherwise commercializing nutraceutical and other natural remedies, wellness products, detoxification products,

nutraceutical, and nutritional and dietary supplements. The Company’s principal customers for its Herbal Brands products include mass retailers, specialty and health retailer and distributors in the U.S.

17. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year, without consideration for common share equivalents. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the year determined using the treasury-stock method. For purposes of this calculation, common share warrants and stock options are considered to be common share equivalents and are only included in the calculation of diluted net income per share when their effect is dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss and the weighted average number of shares used in computing basic and diluted net loss per share:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Numerator:
Loss from continuing operations	$	(7,271)	$	(18,191)	$	(14,683)	(30,160)
Income (loss) from discontinued operations	$	2,133	$	(1,972)	$	1,869	(7,189)
Net loss - basic and diluted	$	(5,138)	$	(20,163)	$	(12,814)	$	(37,349)





Denominator:
Weighted-average common shares outstanding - basic and diluted	1,580,456		1,407,419		1,513,575		1,221,107

Net loss per common share - basic and diluted:
Loss from continuing operations	$	(4.60)	$	(12.93)	$	(9.70)	$	(24.70)
Income (loss) from discontinued operations	$	1.35	$	(1.41)	$	1.23	$	(5.90)

The Company's potentially dilutive securities, which include common stock, warrants, stock options, and unvested restricted stock have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share. Therefore, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common shareholders is the same.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share amounts and where otherwise noted)

The Company excluded the following potential common shares, presented based on amounts outstanding as of September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common shareholders because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:



	September 30, 2023	September 30, 2022
		(a)
SAMA earnout shares	19,007	19,007
Stock options	8,918	14,530
Unvested restricted share units	80,779	77,128
Total	108,704	110,665
Common Stock Warrants (b)	17,777,361	17,840,951

(a) Prior year numbers are adjusted for the Reverse Share Split.

(b) No change in number of warrants due to the Reverse Share Split. In connection with the Reverse Share Split, the warrants were adjusted in accordance with their terms such that each warrant entitles the holder to purchase 1/30 common share at an exercise price of $345 per share.

18. LEASES

On January 1, 2022, we adopted the accounting standard ASC 842, Leases, using the modified retrospective method. We elected this adoption date as our date of initial application. As a result, we have not updated financial information related to, nor have we provided disclosures required under ASC 842 for, periods prior to January 1, 2022. The primary changes to our policies relate to recognizing most leases on our statement of financial position as liabilities with corresponding right-of-use ("ROU") assets.

The Company has entered into agreements under which we lease various real estate spaces in North America, Europe and Latin America, under non-cancellable leases that expire on various dates through calendar year 2029. Some of our leases include options to extend the term of such leases for a period from 12 months to 60 months, and/or have options to early terminate the lease. Some of our leases require us to pay certain operating expenses in addition to base rent, such as taxes, insurance and maintenance costs.

As the Company’s leases do not typically provide an implicit rate, the Company utilizes the appropriate incremental borrowing rate, determined as the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term and in a similar economic environment.

Practical Expedients

The modified retrospective approach included a package of optional practical expedients that we elected to apply. Among other things, these expedients permitted us not to reassess prior conclusions regarding lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs under ASC 842. The Company does not separate lease and non-lease components in determining ROU assets or lease liabilities for real estate leases. Additionally, the Company does not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for leases with original terms or renewals of one year or less.

The table above includes amounts relating to the Company's lease costs, which includes net costs recognized in our operating expenses during the period, including amounts capitalized as part of the costs of Inventory, in accordance with ASC 330. Variable lease costs primarily include maintenance, utilities and operating expenses that are incremental to the fixed base rent payments and are excluded from the calculation of operating lease liabilities and ROU assets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, cash paid for amounts associated with our operating lease liabilities was approximately $202 and $621, respectively, For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash paid for amounts associated with our operating lease liabilities were approximately $457 and $1,354, respectively, which were classified as operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows

19. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

As part of the restructuring activities, the Company conducted a comprehensive review of its production capacity for cannabis extracts. This evaluation led to the decision to scale back on certain extraction capacity and related assets, resulting in asset write-off charges. The Company also approved the shutdown of its cultivation activities in Portugal to preserve cash and improve operating margins. The Company has completed the cessation of its Portuguese flower cultivation, post-harvest processes, and manufacturing activities. Subsequently, the post harvest facility has been sold and preparations are currently underway for the sale of the farm land with the objective of concluding the sale by March 31, 2024.

The company determined that shutdown of Portugal operations met the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation, and, as a result, its historical financial results are reflected in the Company's financial statements as a discontinued operation and, assets and liabilities were classified as assets and liabilities held for sale.

To provide transparency and facilitate comparison, the table below presents the major line items constituting the pretax profit or loss of the discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022:

20. COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES

On July 1, 2023, an asset purchase agreement (the “APA”) was entered into by and among (the Company) as guarantor, Clever Leaves Portugal Unipessoal, Lda. (the “Seller” or “Clever Leaves Portugal”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Terra Verde, Lda. (the “Purchaser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Curaleaf International, part of Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. Pursuant to the APA, the Purchaser agreed to acquire, and the Seller agreed to sell, certain laboratory and processing equipment for the production of cannabinoid products, as well as informational rights to policies and procedures for the production and manufacture of such cannabinoids that the Seller used in its EU-GMP certified cannabis processing facility in Setubal, Portugal. Under the terms of the APA, the Company has provided a guarantee in case of malfunctioning of the equipment for a period of 12 months expiring July 2024. The total amount of the guarantee will not exceed, in any circumstances, €500 and undertakes the obligation of principal payor renouncing to the benefit of prior foreclosure of the Seller’s assets. The Company considers the probability of requiring payment under the guarantee to be remote. Hence, no liabilities or expenses are recorded in the financial statements.

Our customers consist of retail distributors and pharmaceutical and cannabis companies, and pharmacies.

We have invested in ecologically sustainable, large-scale, cultivation and processing, as the cornerstone of our medical cannabinoid business, and we seek to continue to develop strategic distribution channels and brands.

We currently own approximately 1.8 million square feet of greenhouse cultivation capacity in Colombia. In addition, our pharmaceutical-grade extraction facility is capable of processing 108,000 kilograms of dry flower per year.

In July 2020, we became one of a small number of vertically integrated cannabis companies in the world to receive European Union Good Manufacturing Practices (“EU GMP”) certification for our Colombian operations. We believe this certification will provide us with one of the largest quality-certified licensed capacities for cannabis cultivation and cannabinoid extraction globally, while our strategically located operations allow us to produce our products at a fraction of the average cost of production incurred by our peers in Canada and the United States.

In addition to the cannabinoid business, we are also engaged in the non-cannabinoid business of formulating, manufacturing, marketing, selling, distributing, and otherwise commercializing nutraceutical and other natural remedies, and wellness products to more than 20,000 retail locations across the United States, through our wholly owned subsidiary Herbal Brands, Inc. Herbal Brands has an Arizona based GMP-compliant, FDA registered facility and is a national distributor of nutraceutical products. Herbal Brands’ nationwide customer base provides a platform we intend to leverage for greater potential cannabinoid distribution in the future, should U.S. federal laws change and regulations permit.

Our business model is focused on partnering with leading and emerging cannabis and pharmaceutical businesses by providing them with lower cost product, variable cost structures, reliable supply throughout the year, and accelerated speed to market. We believe this is achievable due to our production locations, capacity, product registrations and various product certifications.

We manage our business in two segments: the Cannabinoid and Non-Cannabinoid segments.

1. The Cannabinoid operating segment is comprised of the Company’s cultivation, extraction, manufacturing, commercialization, and distribution of cannabinoid products. This operating segment is in the early stages of commercializing cannabinoid products internationally subject to applicable international and state laws and regulations. Our customers and sales for our cannabinoid segment products are mostly outside of the U.S.

2. The Non-Cannabinoid operating segment is comprised of the brands and manufacturing assets acquired as part of our acquisition of Herbal Brands. The segment is engaged in the business of formulating, manufacturing, marketing, selling, distributing, and otherwise commercializing wellness products and nutraceutical, excluding cannabinoid products. Our principal customers for the Herbal Brands products include specialty and health retailers, mass retailers and specialty and health stores in the United States.

Factors Impacting our Business

We believe that our future success will primarily depend on the following factors:

Globalization of the industry. Due to our multi-national operator model focused on geographic diversification, which distinguishes us from many of our competitors and allows us to scale our production in low-cost regions of the world, our goal is to capitalize in markets where the medical cannabis and hemp industry offers a reasonably regulated and free flow of goods across national boundaries. While certain countries, such as Canada, have historically not welcomed imported cannabis or hemp products for commercial purposes, other countries, such as Germany and Brazil, depend primarily on imports.

Global medical market expansion. Medical cannabis is now authorized at the national or federal level in over 41 countries, and more than half of these countries have legalized or introduced significant reforms to their cannabis-use laws to broaden the scope of permitted medical uses beyond the original parameters. Over the past three years, we have established regional operations in Colombia, Germany, the United States and Canada, and we have invested significant resources in personnel and partnerships to build the foundation for new export channels. The Company also owned agricultural and post-harvest facilities in Portugal which have since been wound down as a result of a restructuring initiative that was undertaken by management during December 2022.

Product development and innovation. Because of the rapid evolution of the cannabis industry, the disparate regulations across different geographies, and the time required to develop and validate pharmaceutical-grade products, the pace at which we can expand our portfolio of products and formulations will impact market acceptance for our products. To increase our output while maintaining or reducing unit costs, we may need to enhance our cultivation, extraction, and other processing methods. We believe our focus on the production of proprietary and exclusive products or formulations that comply with stringent regulations, or that result in enhanced benefits for patients or consumers, could create advantages in various markets.

Regulatory expertise and adaptation. As more markets welcome the importation of cannabis or hemp products for commercial purposes, this will require navigating and complying with the strict and evolving cannabis regulations across the different geographies. We have built a global regulatory team that is experienced in developing good relationships with regulatory agencies and governments that govern and shape the cannabis industry in their respective jurisdictions. Key expertise includes complying with and securing quotas, product approvals, export permits, import permits and other geographic specific licenses.

Strategically expanding productive capacity and manufacturing capabilities. It is beneficial to have low operating costs and to control the production process to generate consistency and quality on a large scale. As we seek to expand into new markets and grow our presence in existing markets, we will need significant investments in cultivation and processing, which will necessitate additional capital. We also aim to increase productive capacity through innovation in cultivation or processing methods, improving yields and output levels of our existing assets. While we believe our core cultivation and extraction operations in Colombia are adequately sized for our current business operations, we will need to expand our operations in Colombia and invest in advanced processing or finished good manufacturing capabilities to match any growth in Cannabis sales and expansion to local products.

Key Operating Metrics

We use the following key operating metrics to evaluate our business and operations, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, project our future performance and make strategic decisions. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate key operating metrics with similar names differently, which may reduce their usefulness as comparative measures.

(a)Kilograms (dry flower) harvested - represents the weight of dried plants post-harvest both for sale and for research and development purposes. This operating metric is used to measure the productivity of our farms.

(b)Costs to produce - includes costs associated with cultivation, extraction, depreciation, quality assurance and supply chain related to kilograms (dry flower) harvested.

(c)Kilograms sold - represents the amount in kilograms of product sold in dry plant equivalents. Extract is converted to dry plant equivalent for purposes of this metric.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 we sold 4,733 and 577 kilograms, respectively, of dry flower equivalent supporting ongoing demand strength for our cannabinoid extracts and continued refining of Colombian flower. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, our Cannabinoid segment sales were primarily in Australia, and Brazil.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 we sold 14,199 and 6,259 kilograms, respectively, of dry flower equivalent. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the increase in cannabinoid revenues was primarily driven by ongoing sales strength for the Company’s extract products, particularly in Brazil, Australia, and Israel.

We harvested 1,210 kilograms of cannabinoids in the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to 1211 kilograms in the three months ended September 30, 2022. The harvesting remained constant as compared to the prior period. The Company has continued to add new CBD hemp crops to its harvest cycle to replenish inventory for previously sold extract products, while mainly focusing Colombian harvests on growing THC flower for export.

Table of Contents

We harvested 3,060 kilograms of cannabinoids in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to 7,976 kilograms in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in our production capacity at our Colombia facility.

Costs to produce were approximately $0.75 per gram of dry flower equivalent for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $0.52 per gram of dry flower equivalent for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase is attributable to the Company's ongoing extraction and processing costs on existing inventory, along with costs associated with ramping Colombian flower exports.

Costs to produce were approximately $0.86 per gram of dry flower equivalent for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $0.29 per gram of dry flower equivalent for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase is attributable to the Company's significantly reduced agricultural output for the first nine months of 2023 and changes in the cultivation techniques to improve the quality and properties of the flower as well as meet more stringent market and regulatory requirements, along with ongoing extraction and processing costs at its Colombian operations.

Recent Developments

Reverse Share Split

On August 24, 2023, the Company effected a one-for-thirty Reverse Share Split of its common shares. All share and per share information in these financial statements has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Share Split. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Share Split. Instead, each fractional share remaining after completion of the Reverse Share Split that was less than half of a whole share was rounded down and canceled without consideration to the holders thereof and each fractional share that was at least half of a whole share was rounded up to one whole share.

As a result of the Reverse Share Split, at the Effective Time, the number of outstanding Shares was reduced from approximately 45.7 million to approximately 1.5 million.

The Reverse Share Split was effected to, regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires the Company, to maintain a minimum bid price of at least $1.00 per share.

Warrants

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had 12,877,361 of its public warrants classified as a component of equity and 4,900,000 of its private warrants recognized as liability. In connection with the Reverse Share Split, the warrants were adjusted in accordance with their terms such that each warrant entitles the holder to purchase 1/30 common share at an exercise price of $345 per share. The warrants expire on December 18, 2025, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption. The Company may redeem the outstanding public warrants at a price of $0.01 per warrant if the last reported sales price of the Company’s common shares equals or exceeds $540 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company will send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. The private warrants were issued in the same form as the public warrants, but they (i) are not redeemable by the Company and (ii) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis at the holder’s option, in either case as long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees (as defined in the warrant agreement). Once a private warrant is transferred to a holder other than an affiliate or permitted transferee, it is treated as a public warrant for all purposes. The terms of the warrants may be amended in a manner that may be adverse to holders with the approval of the holders of at least a majority 50.1% of the then outstanding warrants.

Equity Distribution Agreement

On January 14, 2022, we entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”) with Canaccord Genuity LLC, as sales agent (the “Agent”). Under the terms of the Equity Distribution Agreement, we may issue and sell our common shares, without par value, having an aggregate offering price of up to $50,000 from time to time through the Agent. The issuance and sale of the common shares under the Equity Distribution Agreement have been made, and any such future sales will be made, pursuant to our effective registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-262183), which includes an “at-the-market” (“ATM”) offering prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”), as amended from time to time.

Following the filing of the 2022 Form 10-K, we are subject to the limitations under General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3and we filed Amendment No. 3 to the Prospectus Supplement, to reflect the lower maximum offering amount based on the then aggregate market value of our outstanding common shares held by non-affiliates. If our public float increases such that we may sell additional amounts under the Equity Distribution Agreement and the Prospectus Supplement, we will file another amendment to the Prospectus Supplement prior to making additional sales.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued and sold after the Reverse Share Split 201,912 shares pursuant to the ATM offering, for aggregate net proceeds of $824 which consisted of gross proceeds of $902 and $78 of equity issuance costs.

Revenue

Net revenue increased to $3,820 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $2,867 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was driven by an increase in cannabinoid segment revenues compared to the same period in 2022, and marginal increase in revenues in the non-cannabinoid segment. The increase in cannabinoid segment revenues was primarily driven by ongoing sales strength for the Company’s extract products, particularly in Brazil and Australia. The increase in non-cannabinoid revenues was due to improved demand in the segment’s mass retail channel during the quarter

Net revenue increased to $12,779 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $12,008 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. . The increase was driven by an increase in the cannabinoid segment partially offsetting a decrease in the non-cannabinoid segment. The increase in net revenue was driven by an increase cannabinoid segment revenues due to ongoing sales strength for the Company’s extract products, particularly in Brazil, Australia, and Israel. The decrease in non-cannabinoid revenues due to continued demand headwinds in the segment’s specialty channel, resulted in lower inventory orders during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales increased to $1,878 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $1,568 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Approximately 68% of the increase was due to higher sales volumes and approximately 32% due to customer and product mix differences compared to the year ago period.

Cost of sales increased to $5,877 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $5,635 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in inventory provision and inventory write-down related to aged, obsolete or unusable inventory, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the comparable period last year

Three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to three months ended September 30, 2022

Interest and amortization of debt issuance cost, net. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 interest expense increased to $5, as compared to interest income of $58 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The interest expense the three month ended September 30, 2023 is related to the increased interest rates for the Portugal and Colombia debt. The Company had interest income, net for the amount of $58 from the cash held in its savings accounts in the three months ended September 30, 2022..

Gain on remeasurement of warrant liability. Gain on remeasurement of warrant liability was $60 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to a gain of $196 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The gains are directly attributable to the remeasurement of the warrant liability as of September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively, due to the change in the underlying value related to the private warrants during those periods.

Investment impairment: Investment impairment of $3,705 charged in connection with the sale of the Cansativa shares for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The Company compared the subsequent transaction value of the shares sold to the carrying value and the impairment loss of $3,705 was recorded in the consolidated statement of operations during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Foreign exchange loss. The impact of foreign exchange for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was a loss of $275, as compared to a loss of $669 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The foreign exchange losses for the three months ended September 30, 2023, were primarily driven by the currency fluctuations of the Euro versus the U.S. Dollar.

Other expense, net. Other expense, net includes items not individually material to our consolidated financial statements.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2022

Interest and amortization of debt issuance cost, net. Interest and amortization of debt issuance cost, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 decreased to $23, as compared to $2,696 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to writing off of debt discount costs recognized in connection with the beneficial conversion factor related to the Catalina LP Convertible Note issued in connection with the Notes Purchase Agreement, dated July 19, 2021 (the “Catalina Note”) and the Loan and Security Agreement, dated May 3, 2019 in the comparable prior year period, which were fully re-paid in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Gain on remeasurement of warrant liability. Gain on remeasurement of warrant liability was $5 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to a loss of $2,009 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The gain and loss are directly attributable to the remeasurement of the warrant liability as of September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively, due to the change in the underlying value related to the private warrants during those periods.

Gain on investments. Gain on investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was nil, as compared to $6,851 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The gain on investments in 2022 was related to the sale of Cansativa shares to an unrelated third-party and the revaluation of the Company's retained interest of the shares still held.

Loss on debt extinguishment, net. Net loss on debt extinguishment was nil for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $2,263 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The loss was primarily related to the debt extinguishment as a result of the amendment of the Catalina Note on January 13, 2022.

Investment impairment: Investment impairment of $3,705 charged in connection with the sale of the Cansativa shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The Company compared the subsequent transaction value of the shares sold to the carrying value and the impairment loss of $3,705 was recorded in the consolidated statement of operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Foreign exchange loss. The impact of foreign exchange for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was a loss of $297, as compared to a loss of $1,144 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The foreign exchange losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, were primarily driven by the currency fluctuations of the Euro versus the U.S. Dollar.

Other expense, net. Other expenses, net includes items not individually material to our consolidated financial statements.

Operating Results by Business Segment

Our management evaluates segment profit/loss for each of our reportable segments. We define segment profit/loss as income from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation expense, gains/losses on foreign currency fluctuations, gains/losses on the early extinguishment of debt and miscellaneous expenses. Segment profit/loss also excludes the impact of certain items that are not directly attributable to the reportable segments’ underlying operating performance. For a reconciliation of segment profit to loss from continuing operations before income taxes, see Note 16 to our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2023 included in this Form 10-Q.

Cannabinoid. Cannabinoid revenue increased to $1,442 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $613 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, Cannabinoid revenue increased to $4,537 as compared to $3,166 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increases in cannabinoid segment revenues were primarily driven by increased sales efforts for the Company’s extract products, particularly in Brazil, Australia, and Israel.

Non-Cannabinoid. Non-Cannabinoid revenue increased to $2,378 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $2,254 the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in non-cannabinoid revenues was due to improved demand in the segment’s specialty channel during the quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, non-cannabinoid revenue decreased to $8,242 as compared to $8,842 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in non-cannabinoid revenues was due to continued demand headwinds in the segment’s specialty channel, which resulted in lower inventory orders during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We are actively seeking sources of financing or proceeds from sales of assets to fund our continued operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to complete any financing or asset sale transaction in a timely manner or on acceptable terms or otherwise. If we are not able to raise additional cash, we may be forced to suspend or curtail planned programs, or cease operations altogether.

The following table sets forth the major components of our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the periods presented:

(In thousands of U.S. dollars)


	Nine months ended September 30,
		2023		2022
Net cash used in operating activities		$	(9,965)	$	(23,969)
Net cash provided by investing activities		2,638		642
Net cash provided by financing activities		818		3,539

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash beginning of period		12,888		37,699
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash end of period		6,538		17,607
Decrease in cash and cash equivalents		$	(6,350)	$	(20,092)

Cash flows used in operating activities

The decrease in net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was primarily the result of decreased operating and other expenses due to implementation of a decrease in our loss on investments, decreased share-based compensation expense and changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Cash flows from investing activities

The increase in net cash provided by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was primarily due to net cash provided by proceeds from the sale of fixed assets from our discontinued operations in Portugal in 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash provided was primarily due to proceeds from partial sale of equity method of investments as offset by purchase of fixed assets.

Cash flows from financing activities

The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by the net proceeds from issuance of shares under the Equity Distribution Agreement as offset by repayment of debt. Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was due to issuance of shares as offset by repayment of substantial outstanding debt in the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Sources of Liquidity

We have historically financed our operations through the issuance of shares, the issuance of convertible debt and cash from operations. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents (excluding restricted cash) of $6,472 and $12,449, respectively, which were held for working capital, repayment of loans and general corporate purposes. This represents an overall decrease of $7,372.

through the Agent. The issuance and sale of the common shares under the Equity Distribution Agreement have been made, and any such future sales will be made, pursuant to the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-262183), which includes an “at-the-market” (“ATM”) offering prospectus supplement (the "Prospectus Supplement"), as amended from time to time.

We have had operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and expect to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future until such time, if ever, that we can generate significant revenue from the sale of our available inventories. We anticipate that we will continue to incur losses from operations due to pre-commercialization activities, marketing and manufacturing activities, and general and administrative costs to support operations.

We have historically been able to manage liquidity requirements through cost management and cost reduction measures, supplemented with raising additional financing and proceeds from the sale of assets. While we have been successful in raising financing in the past, there can be no assurances that additional financing will be available when needed on acceptable terms, or at all. The continued influence of the direct and indirect results of the outbreak of COVID-19 and uncertain market and regulatory conditions may further limit our ability to access capital. If we are not able to secure adequate additional funding or sell additional assets, we may be forced to make reductions in spending, extend payment terms with suppliers, and suspend or curtail planned programs. Any of these actions could materially harm our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

Uses of Liquidity

Our primary need for liquidity is to fund working capital requirements, capital expenditures, debt service obligations and for general corporate purposes. Our ability to fund operations, make planned capital expenditures and service debt obligations depends on future operating performance and cash flows, which are subject to prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors. Our interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that we will continue to be in operation for the foreseeable future and, accordingly, will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of operations as they come due.

We manage our liquidity risk by preparing budgets and cash forecasts to ensure we have sufficient funds to meet obligations. In managing working capital, we may limit the amount of our cash needs by selling inventory at wholesale rates, pursuing additional financing sources, and managing the timing of capital expenditures.

However, the Company's current working capital needs, anticipated operating expenses and net losses, and the uncertainties surrounding its ability to raise additional capital as needed, raise substantial doubt as to whether existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet its obligations as they come due within twelve months from the issuance date of the interim financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments for the recovery and

classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to

continue as a going concern.

The Company’s ability to execute its operating plans through 2023 and beyond depends on its ability to obtain additional funding, which may include several initiatives such as raising capital, reducing working capital, and monetizing non-core assets to meet planned growth requirements and to fund future operations, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all.

Debt

Total debt outstanding as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $1,336 and $1,530, respectively. The debt outstanding as of September 30, 2023 was comprised of our current and non-current portions of borrowings of $477 and $859, respectively, related to the Colombia and Portugal working capital loans. The debt outstanding as of September 30, 2023 was comprised of our current and non-current portions of other borrowings of $477 and $859, respectively, related to the Colombia and Portugal working capital loans. The debt outstanding as of December 31, 2022 was comprised of our current and non-current portions of other borrowings of $465 and $1,065, respectively, related to the Colombia and Portugal working capital

Portugal Debt

For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the company recognized interest expense of approximately €11 ($12) and €7 ($7), respectively, and repaid principal of approximately €63 ($68) and €63 ($63), respectively, of the Portugal Debt in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the company recognized interest expense of approximately €31 ($33) and €22 ($24), respectively, and repaid principal of approximately €188 ($201) and €188 ($200), respectively, of the Portugal Debt in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the outstanding principal balance of the Portugal Debt was €563 ($604) and €875 ($1,076), respectively.

Colombia Debt

Contingencies

In the normal course of business, we receive inquiries or become involved in legal disputes regarding various litigation matters. Other than as disclosed in Item 1A Risk Factor of this Form 10-Q and except for the matter as discussed below, in the opinion of management, as of September 30, 2023 any potential liabilities resulting from claims we have received would not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.

On July 1, 2023, an APA was entered into by and among the Company as guarantor, Clever Leaves Portugal a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as the seller, and Terra Verde, Lda. as the purchaser a wholly-owned subsidiary of Curaleaf International, part of Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. Pursuant to the APA, the Purchaser agreed to acquire, and the Seller agreed to sell, certain laboratory and processing equipment for the production of cannabinoid products, as well as informational rights to policies and procedures for the production and manufacture of such cannabinoids that the Seller used in its EU-GMP certified cannabis processing facility in Setubal, Portugal. Under the terms of the APA, the Company has provided a guarantee in case of malfunctioning of the equipment for a period of 12 months expiring July 2024. The total amount of the guarantee will not exceed, in any circumstances, €500 and undertakes the obligation of principal payor renouncing to the benefit of prior foreclosure of the Seller’s assets. The Company considers the probability of requiring payment under the guarantee to be remote. Hence, no liabilities or expenses are recorded in the financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements during the periods presented, other than as discussed above.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Controls and Procedures

Management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of as September 30, 2023. The term "disclosure control and procedures" as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), means controls and other procedures of a company 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 the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2023 were not effective due to a material weakness as described below.

Inherent Limitations of Disclosure Controls and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Because of their inherent limitations, our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent material errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting is subject to risks, including that the control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with our policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As initially reported in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, Management did not maintain effective control environment attributed to the following:

•The Company's insufficient number of trained professionals with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, training and experience to appropriately analyze, record and disclose accounting matters timely and accurately.

•Insufficient segregation of duties, lack of structure, reporting lines and appropriate authorities and responsibilities to achieve financial reporting objectives. Lack of evidence to support the performance of controls and the adequacy of review procedures, including the completeness and accuracy of information used in the performance of controls.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, an additional material weakness was identified as follows:

•Information technology general controls were not properly designed and implemented in user access over certain information technology systems that support the Company's financial reporting process. The access issues relate to the extent of privileges afforded to certain users as well as the Company's user access review controls.

Management Plan to Remediate Material Weaknesses

During the year ended December 31, 2022 and the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we made the following enhancements to our control environment:

a. We enhanced our controls to improve the preparation and review over complex accounting measurements, and the application of GAAP to significant accounts and transactions, and our financial statement disclosures; and,

Table of Contents

b. We engaged outside consultants to assist us in our evaluation of the design, implementation, and documentation of internal controls that address the relevant risks, and that provide for appropriate evidence of performance of our internal controls (including completeness and accuracy procedures) and to provide technical Sarbanes-Oxley Act training to individuals throughout the organization that are responsible for executing internal controls.

Our remediation activities are ongoing during calendar year 2023. In addition to the above actions, we expect to engage in additional activities, including, but not limited to:

a. Adding more technical accounting resources to enhance our control environment and to allow for proper segregation of duties;

b. Enhance the Company's accounting software system with a system designed with the functionality to properly segregate duties and implement appropriate user access controls;

c. Until we have sufficient technical accounting resources, we will continue to engage external consultants to provide support and to assist us in our evaluation of more complex applications of GAAP, and to assist us with documenting and assessing our accounting policies and procedures; and,

d. Engaging outside consultants to assist us in performing testing in order to evaluate the operating effectiveness of our internal controls.

Under the direction of the audit committee of the board of directors, management will continue to take measures to remediate the material weaknesses in calendar year 2023. As such, we will continue to enhance corporate oversight over process-level controls and structures to ensure that there is appropriate assignment of authority, responsibility, and accountability to enable remediation of our material weaknesses. We believe that our remediation plan will be sufficient to remediate the identified material weaknesses and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting.

We believe the corrective actions and controls need to be in operation for a sufficient period for management to conclude that the control environment is operating effectively and has been adequately tested through audit procedures. Therefore, the material weaknesses have not been remediated as of the date of this report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company is in the process of implementing certain changes in its internal controls to remediate the material weakness described above. Except as noted above, no change to our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are involved in various investigations, claims and lawsuits arising in the normal conduct of our business, none of which, in our opinion, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. We cannot assure you that we will prevail in any litigation. Regardless of the outcome, any litigation may require us to incur significant litigation expense and may result in significant diversion of management attention.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following discussion supplements the discussion of risk factors affecting the Company as set forth in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our 2022 Form 10-K and Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements on page 4 of this Form 10-Q. The discussion of risk factors, as so supplemented, sets forth the material risk factors that could affect the Company’s financial condition and operations. Readers should not consider any descriptions of such factors to be a complete set of all potential risks that could affect the Company.

Conditions in Israel, including the recent attack by Hamas, has limited our ability to market and sell our products in Israel and, as a result, may adversely affect our results of operations.

Israel is one of our five key markets. As a result, our business and operations are directly affected by economic, political, geopolitical and military conditions affecting Israel. On October 7, 2023, Hamas militants infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of attacks on civilian and military targets. Thereafter, extensive rocket attacks on Israel resulted in a declaration of war by the Israeli government.

The intensity and duration of this war, and its resulting impact on our company, is difficult to predict. Within a matter of days, the value of Israeli currency decreased to the point that its Central Bank took steps to protect it from collapse. These events may imply wider macroeconomic indications of a deterioration in Israel’s economic standing, which may have a negative impact on demand for our products from within the region. Such a decrease in demand would have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

In addition to any potential decrease in demand, distributing our products into the region has become more difficult. In the immediate aftermath of the Hamas attack, many freight companies temporarily halted shipments to Israel. There can be no guarantee that these or other distribution chain disruptions will not occur in the future. Distribution to the region could also incur greater costs as a result of the emergency conditions in the region. Any impact to our distribution logistics and network in the region could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

The Reverse Share Split may adversely impact the liquidity of our common shares and warrants and may not be effective in facilitating our efforts to maintain compliance with the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq.

The liquidity of our common shares and warrants may be adversely affected by the Reverse Share Split, given the significantly reduced number of common shares that are outstanding following its effectiveness. In addition, there can be no assurance that the trading price of our common shares will remain at or above $1.00 per share.

In addition, the Reverse Share Split has resulted in some shareholders owning “odd lots” of less than 100 common shares on a post-reverse share split basis. Odd lots may be more difficult to sell, or require greater transaction costs per share to sell, than shares in “round lots” of even multiples of 100 shares.

The Reverse Share Split was effected to regain compliance with Nasdaq'sminimum bid price requirement of at least $1.00 per share. However, there can be no assurance that we will maintain compliant with such requirement, or that , we will not become deficient with respect to other Nasdaq listing requirements following, or as a result of, the Reverse Share Split.

Failure to resolve a dispute regarding the alleged default under Herbal Brands’ lease agreement for its facilities in Tempe, Arizona could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Herbal Brands is currently in dispute with Double G Enterprises, LLC (“Double G”), the landlord for the facility out of which Herbal Brands conducts substantially all of its operations, including the manufacture and distribution of Herbal Brands’ products, regarding the lease between Double G and Herbal Brands. Double G has alleged that Herbal Brands is in default under the lease agreement’s “change of control” provision, suggesting that more than 49% of the ownership interest in Herbal

Table of Contents

Brands has been transferred without Double G’s prior written consent, in contravention of the lease terms. Double G sent a letter noticing acceleration of all future rents due under the lease (approximately $460,000) and termination of the right to possess the premises. Double G has not provided a basis for its claim regarding Herbal Brands’ transfer of ownership. Herbal Brands was acquired by us prior to entering into the lease agreement. No action has been filed in any court, in any jurisdiction, for this dispute. Even though we believe that Herbal Brands is presently in compliance with all material provisions of its lease with Double G, there can be no assurance that this dispute will be resolved in our favor. If this dispute evolves to require formal dispute resolution there is no guarantee that it will be decided that Herbal Brands is not in default. In the event that Herbal Brands is found to be in default, and the actions we take are not sufficient to cure the default raised by Double G, the remedies available to Double G may include acceleration of all future rents under the lease agreement and/or termination of the lease. The lease is set to expire in April 2024. Acceleration of rents due and early termination of the lease would significantly reduce the value of Herbal Brands’ operations, and would materially curtail, if not completely eliminate, our ability to obtain revenues from Herbal Brands.
