JUSHI HOLDINGS INC. Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Amounts Expressed in Thousands of U.S. dollars, Except Share and Per Share Amounts)


1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Jushi Holdings Inc. (the “Company” or “Jushi”) is incorporated under the British Columbia’s Business Corporations Act. The Company is a vertically integrated, multi-state cannabis operator engaged in retail, distribution, cultivation, and processing in both medical and adult-use markets. As of June 30, 2023, Jushi, through its subsidiaries, owns or manages cannabis operations and/or holds licenses in the adult-use and/or medicinal cannabis marketplace in California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia. The Company’s head office is located at 301 Yamato Road, Suite 3250, Boca Raton, Florida 33431, United States of America, and its registered address is Suite 1700, Park Place, 666 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 2X8, Canada.

The Company is listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) and trades its subordinate voting shares (“SVS”) under the ticker symbol “JUSH”, and trades on the United States Over the Counter Stock Market (“OTCQX”) under the symbol “JUSHF”.


2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, of a normal recurring nature, that are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods, and at the dates, presented. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on April 18, 2023 (the “2022 Form 10-K”), and was also filed on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (“SEDAR”) on April 18, 2023. Consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2022 presented herein is derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Going Concern and Liquidity

As reflected in the 2022 Form 10-K, the Company incurred a loss from operations of $220,333, including non-cash impairment charges of $159,645, and used net cash of $21,416 for operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2022, and as of that date, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $37,577. Furthermore, the Company used cash of $10,285 for operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and as of that date, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $37,328. Since inception, management has focused on building a diverse portfolio of assets in attractive markets to vertically integrate its business. As such, the Company has incurred losses as it expanded its operations. Management has put in place plans to increase the profitability of the business in fiscal year 2023 and beyond. In order to achieve profitable future operations, management has commercialized production from its recently expanded grower-processing facilities in Pennsylvania and Virginia, as well as implemented a cost-savings and efficiency optimization plan which includes, among other things, reduction in labor and packaging costs as well as operating efficiencies at the Company’s retail and grower-processing facilities.

JUSHI HOLDINGS INC. Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Amounts Expressed in Thousands of U.S. dollars, Except Share and Per Share Amounts)

As concluded in the 2022 Form 10-K, substantial doubt existed about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and, as a result of the above, substantial doubt continues to exist within the next twelve months from the date these financial statements are issued. Management intends to fund the Company’s operations, capital expenditures and debt service with existing cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash generated from operations, including anticipated refunds from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) relating to employee retention credit claims, and, as needed, future financing (equity and/or debt) as well as the potential sales of non-core assets. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon profitable future operations and positive cash flows from operations as well as future financing and/or sales of assets if necessary. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in this or any of its endeavors or become financially viable and continue as a going concern.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted

In June 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2020-06 Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. This ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual

and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2023, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The FASB issued guidance requires that an entity (acquirer) recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. At the acquisition date, an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the contracts. To achieve this, an acquirer may assess how the acquiree applied Topic 606 to determine what to record for the acquired revenue contracts. Generally, this should result in an acquirer recognizing and measuring the acquired contract assets and contract liabilities consistent with how they were recognized and measured in the acquiree’s financial statements (if the acquiree prepared financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles). The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2023, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. The FASB issued guidance clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also clarify that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2023, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-01, Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements. The FASB issued guidance clarifies the accounting for leasehold improvements associated with common control leases, by requiring that leasehold improvements associated with common control leases be amortized by the lessee over the useful life of the leasehold improvements to the common control group (regardless of the lease term) as long as the lessee controls the use of the underlying asset through a lease. Additionally, leasehold improvements associated with common control leases should be accounted for as a transfer between entities under common control through an adjustment to equity if, and when, the lessee no longer controls the use of the underlying asset. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

6. ACQUISITIONS

Nature’s Remedy

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Nature’s Remedy of Massachusetts, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Nature’s Remedy”), in September 2021 the Company agreed to issue up to an additional $5,000 in Company SVS to Sammartino Investments LLC (“Sammartino”) upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of certain events after the closing date. The payment of the contingent consideration depends on whether or not a competitor (as defined in the definitive acquisition documents) opens a competing dispensary within a certain radius of the Company’s dispensary in Tyngsborough, Massachusetts during the period beginning on the 12-month anniversary of the closing date and ending on the 30-month anniversary of the closing date (the “Milestone Period”). On each monthly anniversary of the closing date during the Milestone Period (beginning on the 13-month anniversary of the closing date), Sammartino shall accrue $278 worth of Company SVS (a “Monthly Milestone Accrual”). On the 18-month, 24-month and 30-month anniversary of the closing date (and provided a competitor has not opened a competing dispensary within a certain radius of the Company’s dispensary in Tyngsborough, Massachusetts), Sammartino is entitled to be issued Company SVS in an amount equal to $1,667 divided by a volume weighted average reference share price. As of December 31, 2022, the aggregate contingent consideration liability was $4,793, of which $3,398 was included as a short-term contingent consideration liability and $1,395 was included in long-term contingent consideration liability.

In March 2023, the 18-month anniversary of the closing date occurred without a competitor opening a competing dispensary within a certain radius of the Company’s dispensary in Tyngsborough, Massachusetts. Consequently, at June 30, 2023, $2,500 of Monthly Milestone Accrual was classified as other current liabilities while the remaining liability of $2,394 was included in short-term contingent consideration liability.

As discussed in greater detail in Note 18 - Commitments and Contingencies, on February 28, 2023, the Company informed Sammartino that Sammartino had breached several provisions of the Merger and Membership Interest Purchase Agreement between the Company, Sammartino and certain other parties thereto (as amended, the “MIPA”) and pursuant to the terms of the MIPA the Company had elected to offset these damages against (among other things) all present and future Monthly Milestone Accruals (the “Sammartino Matter”).

Purchase Price Allocations for 2022 Business Combinations

The purchase price accounting in connection with the acquisitions of “The Apothecarium” in Las Vegas, Nevada (“Apothecarium”) and NuLeaf Inc., NuLeaf CLV Inc. and their subsidiaries (collectively, “NuLeaf”) in March 2022 and April 2022, respectively, has been finalized as of March 31, 2023.

Refer to Note 17 - Related Party Transactions for more information.

Second Lien Notes

In March 2023, the Company, one of its wholly subsidiaries (JGMT, LLC) and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors (“CEO”) entered into an amendment to his existing employment agreement (the “Amendment”) pursuant to which the CEO agreed to receive the $750 annual cash bonus that would otherwise have been paid to him in the following alternative form: (i) a lump sum cash payment in the amount of $250, which was paid on March 15, 2023, (ii) $750 aggregate principal amount of 12% second lien notes (“Second Lien Notes”) due December 7, 2026, which was issued on March 15, 2023, and (iii) fully-detached warrants to purchase up to approximately $375 worth of the Company’s SVS (“Warrants”), with such Warrants to be priced and issued as soon as practicable in accordance with US and Canadian securities laws. The Warrants, when issued, will have an exercise price per subordinate voting share equal to the greater of: (a) a twenty-five percent (25%) premium to the volume-weighted average price per share of the Company’s subordinate voting shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (converted into U.S. Dollars at an exchange rate determined by the Company in good faith) over the trailing ten (10) trading day period prior to the date the Warrants are issued, and (b) the fair market value of the Company’s subordinate voting shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (converted into U.S. Dollars at an exchange rate determined by the Company in good faith) on the date the Warrants are issued. As of June 30, 2023, the fair value of the Warrants to be priced and issued was estimated to be $148, which was recorded as additional debt discount to the Second Lien Notes with a corresponding offset to Accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The current estimated fair value of the Warrants will be adjusted when the Warrants are priced and issued.

In June 2023, the Company amended its Second Lien Notes to modify the Change of Control provisions and make other changes. The consideration paid by the Company for the amendment was a repricing of the related outstanding warrants to purchase SVS of the Company from an exercise price of $2.086 per warrant to $1.00 per warrant. In addition to the repricing of the warrants, the respective warrant agreements were amended and resulted in a change in accounting classification of the respective warrants from liability to equity. The estimated value of the consideration of $1,341 was determined based on the incremental change in the fair value of the warrants before and after repricing. The consideration was recorded as additional debt discount to the Second Lien Notes with a corresponding offset to Paid-in capital. Refer to Note 11 - Derivative Liabilities for more information.

10. LEASES

The Company leases certain business facilities for corporate, retail and cultivation operations from third parties under lease agreements that specify minimum rentals. In addition, the Company leases certain equipment for use in cultivation and extraction activities. The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at the inception of the contract. In June 2023, the Company performed a reassessment of its previously classified real estate finance leases due to changing demographics and business environment. This reassessment resulted in the removal of certain option renewal periods contained in the leases as the Company is no longer reasonably certain to exercise these option renewal periods. As a result of the reassessment, the classification of some leases were changed from finance to operating. Additionally, the impact of the reassessment was an aggregate decrease in finance lease obligations and related right-of-use (“ROU”) assets of $45,768 and $42,349, respectively, and an aggregate increase in operating lease obligations and related ROU assets of $8,691 and $5,271, respectively. In connection with the change from finance to operating lease, the Company’s

As discussed in Note 9 - Debt, in June 2023, the Company amended the warrant agreements, previously issued with the Second Lien Notes, to decrease the warrant exercise price of $2.086 per warrant to $1.00 per warrant for 17,512,280 warrants as well as certain other sections of the warrant agreement, which resulted in a change in accounting classification of the respective warrants from liability to equity. As a result of the change in classification of the warrants, the Company recorded a decrease in derivative liability of $2,050, with a corresponding increase in paid-in capital. The aforementioned warrant repricing triggered certain down-round provisions on some of the outstanding warrants previously issued with the Senior Notes. Accordingly, the Company changed the warrant exercise price of $1.25 per warrant to $1.00 per warrant for 5,890,922 warrants, and recorded the incremental change of $143 in the fair value of such warrants before and after repricing as additional derivative liabilities with a corresponding offset to Other income (expense) since the Senior Notes were previously extinguished.

The Derivative Warrants may be net share settled. As of June 30, 2023, there were 37,862,922 Derivative Warrants outstanding, which consisted of (i) 29,972,000 warrants with exercise price of $1.25 per warrant and expiration date in December 2024, (ii) 5,890,922 warrants with exercise price of $1.00 per warrant and expiration date of December 2024, and (iii) 2,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $2.086 per warrant and expiration date in December 2026. As of December 31, 2022, there were 55,375,202 Derivative Warrants outstanding, which consisted of (i) 35,862,922 warrants with exercise price of $1.25 per warrant and expiration date in December 2024, and (ii) 19,512,280 warrants with an exercise price of $2.086 per warrant and expiration date in December 2026.

Derivative Warrants are considered derivative financial liabilities measured at fair value with all gains or losses recognized in profit or loss as the settlement amount for the Derivative Warrants may be adjusted during certain periods for variables that are not inputs to standard pricing models for forward or option equity contracts, i.e., the “fixed for fixed” criteria under ASC 815-40. The estimated fair value of the Derivative Warrants is measured at the end of each reporting period and an adjustment is reflected in fair value changes in derivatives in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). These are Level 3 recurring fair value measurements. The estimated fair value of the Derivative Warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes model with stock price based on the OTCQX closing price of the Derivative Warrants issue date as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The assumptions used in the fair value calculations as of the balance sheet dates presented include the following:


	June 30, 2023 (unaudited)	December 31, 2022
Stock price	$0.48	$0.76
Risk-free annual interest rate	4.24% - 5.15%	3.99% - 4.11%
Range of estimated possible exercise price	$1.00 - $2.086	$1.25 - $2.086
Weighted average volatility	84%	79%
Remaining life	1.48 years - 3.44 years	1.98 years - 3.96 years
Forfeiture rate	0%	0%
Expected annual dividend yield	0%	0%

Volatility was estimated by using a weighting of the Company’s historical volatility and the average historical volatility of comparable companies from a representative peer group of publicly traded cannabis companies. The risk-free interest rate for the expected life of the Derivative Warrants was based on the yield available on government benchmark bonds with an approximate equivalent remaining term. The expected life is based on the contractual term. If any of the assumptions used in the calculation were to increase or decrease, this could result in a material or significant increase or decrease in the estimated fair value of the derivative liability. For example, the following table illustrates an increase or decrease in certain significant assumptions as of the balance sheet dates:


	As of June 30, 2023							As of December 31, 2022
	(unaudited)
	Input			Effect of 10% Increase		Effect of 10% Decrease		Input			Effect of 10% Increase		Effect of 10% Decrease

Share-based payment award plans

Plan summary and description

Under the Company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, (the “2019 Plan”), non-transferable options to purchase SVS and restricted SVS of the Company may be issued to directors, officers, employees, or consultants of the Company. The 2019 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 15% (plus an additional 2% inducements for hiring employees and senior management) of the number of outstanding shares of common stock (of all classes) of the Company (the “Share Reserve”). Incentive stock options are limited to the Share Reserve, and the maximum number of incentive awards available for issuance under the 2019 Plan, including additional awards available for certain new hires, was 3,575,590 as of June 30, 2023.

Stock Options

The stock options issued by the Company are options to purchase SVS of the Company. All stock options issued have been issued to directors and employees under the Company’s 2019 Plan. Such options generally expire in ten years from the date of grant and generally vest ratably over three years from the grant date. The options generally may be net share settled. The following table summarizes the status of stock options and related transactions:


	Number of Stock Options	Weighted-Average Per Share Exercise Price
Issued and Outstanding as of January 1, 2023	30,752,259	$	2.58
Granted	3,827,500	$	0.51

Cancelled/forfeited/expired	(4,384,005)	$	2.76

Table of Contents


JUSHI HOLDINGS INC. Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Amounts Expressed in Thousands of U.S. dollars, Except Share and Per Share Amounts)

The fair value of the stock options granted was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following assumptions were used for the calculation at date of grant:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023	2022
Weighted average stock price	$0.51	$2.78
Weighted average expected stock price volatility	76.9%	74.5%
Expected annual dividend yield	0%	0%
Weighted average expected life	6.0 years	6.2 years
Weighted average risk-free annual interest rate	3.6%	2.8%
Weighted average grant date fair value	$0.34	$1.40

Restricted Stock

The Company grants restricted SVS to independent directors, management, former owners of acquired businesses or assets, and to consultants and other employees. The restricted SVS are included in the issued and outstanding SVS, and the fair value of the restricted stock granted was estimated based on the SVS price at grant date. The following table summarizes the status of restricted stock and related transactions:


			Number of Restricted Subordinate Voting Shares
Unvested restricted stock as of January 1, 2023			1,156,319

Cancelled/forfeited			(53,001)
Vested and Released			(1,097,823)
Unvested restricted stock as of June 30, 2023			5,495

Generally, restricted stock awards will vest either one-third on each anniversary of service from the vesting start date or will be fully vested on the completion of one year of full service from the vesting start date, depending on the award.

Share-based compensation cost

The components of share-based compensation expense are as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022

14. REVENUE

The Company has three revenue streams: (i) retail, (ii) wholesale and (iii) other. The Company’s retail revenues are comprised of cannabis sales from its dispensaries. The Company’s wholesale revenues are comprised of cannabis sales to its wholesale customers for resale through their dispensaries. The Company’s other operations primarily include the Company’s hemp/cannabidiol (“CBD”) retail operations which were discontinued in 2022. Any intercompany revenue and costs are eliminated to arrive at consolidated totals.

The following table summarizes the Company’s revenue from external customers, disaggregated by revenue stream:

16. INCOME TAXES

The following table summarizes the Company’s income tax expense and effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023			2022			2023			2022
Income (loss) before income tax	$	(5,490)		$	19,776		$	(7,782)		$	5,070
Income tax expense	$	8,546		$	7,710		$	18,694		$	12,761
Effective income tax rate	(155.7)		%	39.0		%	(240.2)		%	251.7		%

The Company has computed its provision for income taxes based on the actual effective rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 as the Company believes this is the best estimate for the annual effective tax rate. Therefore, the Company’s effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are not indicative of the effective income tax rate for each respective fiscal year of 2023 and 2022. The Company’s effective income tax rate is significantly higher than the statutory income tax rates due in part to (i) disallowed expenses under U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”), Section 280E, (ii) change in uncertain tax positions, (iii) fair value change of derivatives, (iv) interest and penalties accrual for tax liabilities, and (v) state income taxes.

Due to its cannabis operations, the Company is subject to the limitation of IRC Section 280E under which the Company is only allowed to deduct "costs of goods sold". This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC Section 280E. Therefore, the effective tax rate can be highly variable and may not necessarily correlate with pre-tax income which provides for effective tax rates that are well in excess of statutory tax rates.

The Company’s tax returns for the year 2021 and prior benefited from not applying IRC Section 280E to certain entities of the consolidated group either due to the entity not yet starting operations or because the entity had a separate trade or business that was not medical or recreational cannabis operations. The Company determined that it is not more likely than not these tax positions would be sustained under examination. As a result, the Company has an uncertain tax liability of $60,491 and $57,200 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, inclusive of interest and penalties, which is included in income tax liabilities - non-current in the consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, there are unrecognized deferred tax benefits of $3,414 and $3,412 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company does not expect the unrecognized tax benefits will materially increase or decrease within the next 12 months.

The amount of interest and penalties related to outstanding income tax liabilities recorded by the Company during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $644 and $1,533, respectively. The amount of interest and penalties related to outstanding income tax liabilities recorded by the Company during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was not material. Additionally, the Company’s income tax payable of $32,575 and $19,921 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, included deferral of certain 2023 and 2022 estimated income tax payments.

17. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company had the following related party transactions:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,				As of
	2023		2022		2023		2022		June 30, 2023 (unaudited)		December 31, 2022

(1)For the periods ended June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Second Lien Notes payable and the related interest expense includes amounts related to a director as well as a significant investor.

(2)Other debt relates to Jushi Europe. On February 16, 2022, Jushi Europe filed a notice of over-indebtedness with the Swiss courts. Then, the Swiss courts declared Jushi Europe’s bankruptcy on May 19, 2022. As a result, Jushi Europe updated its corporate name to Jushi Europe SA in liquidation, which is still on-going.


18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Contingencies

Although the possession, cultivation and distribution of cannabis for medical and recreational use is permitted in certain states, cannabis is classified as a Schedule-I controlled substance under the U.S. Controlled Substances Act and its use remains a violation of federal law. The Company’s operations are subject to a variety of local and state regulations. Failure to comply with one or more of those regulations could result in fines, restrictions on its operations, or losses of permits that could result in the Company ceasing operations. While management believes that the Company is in material compliance with applicable local and state regulations as of June 30, 2023, marijuana regulations continue to evolve and are subject to differing interpretations. As a result, the Company could be subject to regulatory fines, penalties or restrictions at any time. Since federal law criminalizing the use of cannabis preempts state laws that legalize its use, strict enforcement of federal law regarding cannabis would likely result in the Company’s inability to proceed with the Company’s business plans. In addition, the Company’s assets, including real property, cash and cash equivalents, equipment, inventory and other goods, could be subject to asset forfeiture because cannabis is still federally illegal.

Refer to Note 16 - Income Taxes for certain tax-related contingencies.

Claims and Litigation

From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2023, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial results. There are also no proceedings in which any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the Company’s interest.

MJ Market matter

On March 31, 2023, MJ’s Market (“MJ’s”), Inc. filed a complaint in federal district court in Massachusetts adverse to Jushi Holdings, Inc. and the following of its subsidiaries, including Jushi MA, Inc., Jushi Inc. and Nature’s Remedy of Massachusetts (“collectively “Jushi”), as well as the former owners and affiliates of Nature’s Remedy of Massachusetts (“Complaint”). The Complaint centrally claims that the structure of the Nature’s Remedy of Massachusetts transaction providing for increased purchase price consideration if there is no competing dispensary within 2,500 foot radius by

Table of Contents


JUSHI HOLDINGS INC. Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Amounts Expressed in Thousands of U.S. dollars, Except Share and Per Share Amounts)

certain time periods, and the Company’s filing with the Massachusetts Superior Court an appeal of the Town of Tyngsborough’s decision to approve MJ’s facility in contradiction of its own zoning bylaws are violations of the Sherman Antitrust Act, Massachusetts Antitrust Act, and Massachusetts Consumer Protection Act, as well as interference with contractual relations and abuse of process. MJ is seeking legal and equitable remedies including compensatory and other damages. The Company vehemently denies such allegations, and is vigorously defending against the Complaint.

Sammartino Matter

On February 28, 2023, the Company informed Sammartino, the former owner of Nature’s Remedy and certain of its affiliates, that Sammartino had breached several provisions of the MIPA and/or fraudulently induced the Company to enter into, and not terminate, the MIPA. As a consequence of these breaches and the fraudulent inducement, the Company informed Sammartino that the Company had incurred significant damages, and pursuant to the terms of the MIPA the Company had elected to offset these damages against certain promissory notes and shares the Company was to pay and issue, respectively, to Sammartino, and that Sammartino would be required to pay the remainder in cash. On March 13, 2023, Sammartino responded to the Company by alleging various procedural deficiencies with the Company’s claim and provided the Company with a notice that the Company was in default of the MIPA for failing to issue certain shares of the Company to Sammartino. On March 21, 2023, Sammartino sent a second notice that the Company was in default of the promissory notes for failing to pay interest pursuant to their specified schedule. On March 23, 2023, the Company sent a second letter to Sammartino disputing each procedural deficiency claimed by Sammartino and disputing that the Company is in default of the MIPA or the promissory notes and that it properly followed the terms of the various agreements in electing to set off the damages.

Pacific Collective matter

On October 24, 2022, Pacific Collective, LLC (“Pacific Collective”) filed a complaint in state court in California against Jushi subsidiaries TGS CC Ventures, LLC (“TGS”), and Jushi Inc. Pacific Collective alleges that the Jushi subsidiaries breached a commercial property lease and lease guaranty and that Pacific Collective is entitled to recover in excess of $20,000 in damages. TGS lawfully rescinded the lease based on Pacific Collective’s failure to purchase the property that was the subject of the lease and to construct and deliver the building contemplated by the lease, and is of the position that no damages are owed to Pacific Collective.

Commitments

In addition to the contractual obligations outlined in Note 9 - Debt and Note 10 - Leases, the Company has the following commitments as of June 30, 2023 related to property and construction.

Property and Construction Commitments

In connection with various license applications, the Company may enter into conditional leases or other property commitments which will be executed if the Company is successful in obtaining the applicable license and/or resolving other contingencies related to the license or application.

In addition, the Company expects to incur capital expenditures for leasehold improvements and construction of buildouts of certain locations, including for properties for which the lease is conditional on obtaining the applicable related license or for which other contingencies exist. If the Company were to be unsuccessful in obtaining a particular license or certain other conditions are not met, the previously capitalized improvements and buildouts relating to that license may need to be expensed in future periods in the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) covers the consolidated financial statements of Jushi Holdings Inc. and its controlled subsidiaries as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 (the “Financial Statements”). Unless the context indicates or requires otherwise, the terms “Jushi”, “the Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” refers to Jushi Holdings Inc. and its controlled entities. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 (the “Quarterly Financial Statements”). The Quarterly Financial Statements have been prepared by management and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 18, 2023 (the “2022 Form 10-K”) and was also filed on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (“SEDAR”). All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

Company Overview

We are a vertically integrated, multi-state cannabis operator engaged in retail, distribution, cultivation, and processing operations in both medical and adult-use markets. We are focused on building a diverse portfolio of cannabis assets through opportunistic investments and pursuing application opportunities in attractive limited license jurisdictions. We have targeted assets in highly populated, limited license medical markets on a trajectory toward adult-use legalization, including Pennsylvania and Ohio, markets that are in the process of transitioning to adult-use, namely Virginia, and limited license, fast-growing, large adult-use markets, such as Illinois, Nevada and Massachusetts, and certain municipalities of California.

Factors Affecting our Performance and Related Trends

Competition and Pricing Pressure

The cannabis industry is subject to significant competition and pricing pressures, which is often market specific and can be caused by an oversupply of cannabis in the market, and may be transitory from period to period. We may experience significant competitive pricing pressures as well as competitive products and service providers in the markets in which we operate. Several significant competitors may offer products and/or services with prices that may match or are lower than ours. We believe that the products and services we offer are generally competitive with those offered by other cannabis companies. It is possible that one or more of our competitors could develop a significant research advantage over us that allows them to provide superior products or pricing, which could put us at a competitive disadvantage. Continued pricing pressure due to competition, increased cannabis supply or shifts in customer preferences could adversely impact our customer base or pricing structure, resulting in a material impact on our results of operations, or asset impairments in future periods.

Employee Retention Credit

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), passed in March 2020 and subsequently amended in 2021, allowed eligible employers to take credits on certain amounts of qualified wages if the Company experienced either a full or partial suspension of operations due to COVID related government orders. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we, with guidance from a third-party specialist, determined that we were entitled to employee retention credit (“ERC”) claims of $10,140 for previous business interruptions related to COVID and filed for such claims with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The ERC claims, which will be recognized in the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) when we receive the refunds of such claims from the IRS, were recorded as deferred income in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities, with an offsetting receivable amount in Prepaid expenses and other current assets within the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023. The claims are pending review by the IRS and there can be no assurance that the IRS will approve all or a portion of our claim to the ERC. Failure by the IRS to approve all or a portion of our claim to the ERC would result in us not receiving funds for the portion of the

ERC claim that was denied, and would require a corresponding amount of the recorded credit to be reversed in a future period. Additionally, the IRS may audit recipients of the ERC after disbursing funds and has a right to claw back any amounts the IRS determines were incorrectly disbursed.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 Compared with the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022

(Amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Revenue, Net

The following table presents revenue by type for the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022		$ Change		% Change
Retail	$	59,615	$	67,276	$	(7,661)	(11)	%
Wholesale	6,810		5,467		1,343		25	%
Other	—		14		(14)		(100)	%
Total revenue, net	$	66,425	$	72,757	$	(6,332)	(9)	%

Revenue, net, was $66,425 compared to $72,757, a decrease of $6,332 or 9%. Retail revenue decreased $7,661 primarily due to the closure of three underperforming stores, as well as declines in revenue in: (i) Illinois, due to the impact of the state of Missouri moving to recreational use, and (ii) Nevada and Pennsylvania, due to market price compression and increased competition. The decrease in retail revenue was partially offset by new dispensary openings from build outs and acquisitions. The Company ended the quarter with thirty-four operating dispensaries in seven states, as compared to thirty-three in six states at the end of June 30, 2022.

Wholesale revenue increased $1,343 primarily due to increased cultivation and processing activities at our grower processor facilities in Massachusetts and Virginia.

Gross Profit

Gross profit was $30,554 compared to $26,668, an increase of $3,886 or 15%. Gross profit margin increased to 46% compared to 37%. The improvement in gross profit and gross profit margin was driven by operating efficiencies at our grower processor facilities in Massachusetts and Virginia, as well as sell through of our branded products which have higher margins, partially offset by market price compression and increased competition in Illinois, Nevada and Pennsylvania.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were $27,154 compared to $38,745, a decrease of $11,591 or 30%. The following table presents information of our operating expenses for the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022		$ Change		% Change
Salaries, wages and employee related expenses	$	13,784	$	18,593	$	(4,809)	(26)	%
Share-based compensation expense	2,363		4,684		(2,321)		(50)	%
Rent and related expenses	2,504		3,404		(900)		(26)	%
Depreciation and amortization expense	1,577		2,865		(1,288)		(45)	%

Other expenses (1)	4,605		6,396		(1,791)		(28)	%

Total operating expenses	$	27,154	$	38,745	$	(11,591)	(30)	%

Salaries, wages, and employee-related expenses decreased due to a decrease in the number of employees as we work to right size the organization, as well as due to changes to our staffing models at our retail stores. Lower share-based compensation expense reflects lower value of share-based compensation granted as well as forfeitures of unvested equity

Table of Contents

awards. The three months ended June 30, 2022 includes general and administrative expenses related to our transition to GAAP reporting and costs associated with our registration with the SEC, which is included in professional fees and legal expenses.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net was $9,790 compared to $10,947, a decrease of $1,157, or 11%. The decrease in interest expense, net is due primarily to lower amortization of debt discount driven by the redemption of the 10% senior notes (“Senior Notes”) in December 2022, partially offset by higher interest rates associated with the December 2022 modification of the Acquisition Facility, and the issuance of the 12% second lien notes (“Second Lien Notes”).

Fair Value Gains on Derivatives

Fair value gains on derivatives were $1,090 compared to $42,572. Fair value gains on derivatives include the fair value changes relating to the derivative warrants. The derivative warrants are required to be remeasured at fair value at each reporting period. The fair value changes in derivatives were primarily attributable to the movement in our stock price during the corresponding period.

Other, Net

Other, net was an expenses of $190, compared to an income of $228, a change of $418, which was due primarily to foreign exchange translation losses on certain Second Lien Notes denominated in Canadian dollars.

Income Tax Expense

Due to our cannabis operations, we are subject to the limitation of U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”) Section 280E under which we are only allowed to deduct “costs of goods sold”. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC Section 280E. Total income tax expense was $8,546 compared to $7,710, an increase of $836, or 11%. The increase in income tax expense is primarily due to increased gross profit, as well as the recording of additional uncertain tax positions and higher tax interest and tax penalties in 2023.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 Compared with the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022

(Amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Revenue, Net

The following table presents revenue by type for the periods indicated:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022		$ Change		% Change
Retail	$	121,926	$	125,230	$	(3,304)	(3)	%

Other	—		99		(99)		(100)	%
Total revenue, net	$	136,298	$	134,645	$	1,653	1	%

Revenue, net, was $136,298 compared to $134,645, an increase of $1,653, or 1%. Retail revenue decreased $3,304 due primarily to the closure of three underperforming stores, as well as declines in revenue in: (i) Illinois, due to the impact of the state of Missouri moving to recreational use, and (ii) Pennsylvania due to increased competition. The decrease in retail revenue was partially offset by new dispensary openings from build outs and acquisitions. We acquired Apothecarium and

Table of Contents

NuLeaf in Nevada during March 2022 and April 2022, respectively, and opened new Beyond Hello™ dispensaries in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia in 2022.

Wholesale revenue increased $5,056 primarily due to increased cultivation and processing activities at our grower processor facilities in Massachusetts, Nevada and Virginia. The increase in Nevada is from the acquisition of NuLeaf.

Gross Profit

Gross profit was $60,495 compared to $45,780, an increase of $14,715, or 32%. Gross profit margin increased to 44% compared to 34%. The improvement in gross profit and gross profit margin was driven by operating efficiencies at our grower processor facilities in Massachusetts, Nevada and Virginia, which was partially offset by declines in revenue in Illinois and Pennsylvania driven by market price compression. Additionally, gross profit and gross profit margin for the prior year were negatively impacted by the sell through of inventory acquired in the acquisitions of Nature’s Remedy, which was acquired in September 2021, and Apothecarium, which had a fair value step up.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were $59,606 compared to $76,458, a decrease of $16,852, or 22%. The following table presents information of our operating expenses for the periods indicated:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022		$ Change		% Change
Salaries, wages and employee related expenses	$	30,588	$	35,930	$	(5,342)	(15)	%
Share-based compensation expense	4,674		11,648		(6,974)		(60)	%
Rent and related expenses	5,397		6,493		(1,096)		(17)	%
Depreciation and amortization expense	4,240		5,121		(881)		(17)	%

Other expenses (1)	10,061		11,757		(1,696)		(14)	%

Total operating expenses	$	59,606	$	76,458	$	(16,852)	(22)	%

Salaries, wages, and employee-related expenses decreased due to a decrease in the number of employees as we work to right size the organization, as well as due to the changes to our staffing models at our retail stores. Lower share-based compensation expense reflects lower value of share-based compensation granted as well as forfeitures of unvested equity awards. The six months ended June 30, 2022 includes general and administrative expenses related to our transition to GAAP reporting and costs associated with our registration with the SEC, which is included in professional fees and legal expenses.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net, was $18,310 compared to $21,063, a decrease of $2,753, or 13%. The decrease is due primarily to lower amortization of debt discount driven by the redemption of the Senior Notes in December 2022, partially offset by higher overall debt balance due in part to funding of our recent acquisitions, as well as higher interest rates associated with the December 2022 modification of the Acquisition Facility, and the issuance of the Second Lien Notes.

Fair Value Gains on Derivatives

Fair value gains on derivatives were $9,120 compared to $56,881. Fair value gains on derivatives include the fair value changes relating to the derivative warrants. The derivative warrants are required to be remeasured at fair value at each

Table of Contents

reporting period. The fair value changes in derivatives were primarily attributable to the movement in our stock price during the corresponding period.

Other, Net

Other, net was an income of $519 compared to an expense of $70, a change of $589. The change from an expense to an income was due primarily to the recording of additional indemnification asset of $814 related to acquisitions made in prior years, with an equal and offsetting amount recorded in income tax expense, partially offset by foreign exchange translation losses on certain Second Lien Notes denominated in Canadian dollars.

Income Tax Expense

Due to our cannabis operations, we are subject to the limitation of IRC Section 280E under which we are only allowed to deduct “costs of goods sold”. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC Section 280E. Total income tax expense was $18,694 compared to $12,761, an increase of $5,933, or 46%. The increase in income tax expense is primarily due to increased gross profit, the recording of additional uncertain tax positions and higher tax interest and tax penalties in 2023.

Non-GAAP Measures and Reconciliation

In addition to providing financial measurements based on GAAP, we provide additional financial metrics that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP. We use non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision making, for planning and forecasting purposes and to evaluate our financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (each as defined below). We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect our ongoing business by excluding the effects of expenses that are not reflective of our operating business performance and allow for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in our business. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies. As there are no standardized methods of calculating these non-GAAP measures, our methods may differ from those used by others, and accordingly, the use of these measures may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by others, thus limiting their usefulness. Accordingly, these non-GAAP measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are financial measures that are not defined under GAAP. We define EBITDA as net income (loss), or “earnings”, before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before: (i) non-cash share-based compensation expense; (ii) inventory-related adjustments; (iii) fair value changes in derivatives; (iv) other (income)/expense items; (v) transaction costs; (vi) asset impairment; (vii) loss on debt extinguishment; and (viii) start-up costs. These financial measures are metrics that have been adjusted from the GAAP net income (loss) measure in an effort to provide readers with a normalized metric in making comparisons more meaningful across the cannabis industry, as well as to remove non-recurring, irregular and one-time items that may otherwise distort the GAAP net income measure. Other companies in our industry may calculate this measure differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

(Amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Sources and Uses of Cash

We had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $32,062 as of June 30, 2023.

The major components of our statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, are as follows:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022		$ Change		% Change
Net cash flows used in operating activities	$	(10,285)	$	(25,711)	$	15,426	60	%
Net cash flows used in investing activities	(5,228)		(61,741)		56,513		92	%

Net change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	4,916	$	(51,676)	$	56,592	(110)	%

Operating activities. Cash used in operations was $10,285, as compared to $25,711. The decrease in cash used in operations was due to an increase in cash operating results, net of non-cash adjustments to reconcile net loss, partially offset by cash used for operating assets and liabilities in 2023 as opposed to cash provided by operating assets and liabilities in the prior year.

Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $5,228 compared to $61,741. The current year includes $6,144 for the payments of property, plant and equipment for use in our operations partially offset by $916 in proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment. The prior year includes $40,917 for the payments of property, plant and equipment for use in our operations, and $20,824 paid for the acquisition of Apothecarium and NuLeaf, net of cash acquired.

Financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $20,429 compared to $36,014. The current year includes (i) $21,900 in proceeds from mortgage-related debt and (ii) $3,295 in proceeds from other financing activities, partially offset by: (i) $2,681 in net finance lease obligation payments, (ii) $1,725 in payments of other financing activities, (iii) $250 in payments of loan financing costs, and (iv) $110 in payments of mortgage-related debt. The prior year includes (i) $25,000 in net proceeds from the Acquisition Facility to fund the acquisition of NuLeaf and Apothecarium, (ii) $13,680 proceeds from private placement equity offerings in January and February 2022, (iii) $4,353 in proceeds from other financing activities, and (iv) $751 in proceeds from the exercise of warrants and stock options, partially offset by (i) $6,555 in net finance lease obligation payments, (ii) $793 in payments of loan financing costs, (iii) $258 in principal redemption repayments of the Senior Notes, (iv) $150 in payments of mortgage-related debt, and (v) $14 in payments of other financing activities.

Liquidity

As reflected in our 2022 Form 10-K, we incurred a loss from operations of $220,333, including non-cash impairment charges of $159,645, and used net cash of $21,416 for operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2022, and as of that date, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by $37,577. Furthermore, we have used cash of $10,285 for operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and as of that date, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by $37,328. Since inception, we have focused on building a diverse portfolio of assets in attractive markets to vertically integrate our business. As such, we incurred losses as we expanded our operations. We have put in place plans to increase the profitability of the business in fiscal year 2023 and beyond. In order to achieve profitable future operations, we have commercialized production from our recently expanded grower-processing facilities in Pennsylvania and Virginia, as well as implemented a cost-savings and efficiency optimization plan which includes, among other things, reduction in labor and packaging costs as well as operating efficiencies at our retail and grower-processing facilities.

Table of Contents

As concluded in the 2022 Form 10-K, substantial doubt existed about our ability to continue as a going concern, and, as a result of the above, substantial doubt continues to exist within the next twelve months from the date these financial statements are issued. We intend to fund our operations, capital expenditures and debt service with existing cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash generated from operations, including anticipated refunds from the IRS relating to employee retention credit claims, and, as needed, future financing (equity and/or debt) as well as the potential sales of non-core assets. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon profitable future operations and positive cash flows from operations as well as future financing and/or sales of assets if necessary. There is no assurance that we will be successful in this or any of our endeavors or become financially viable and continue as a going concern.

The quarterly financial statements contained herein have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes we will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future, and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

As of June 30, 2023, we do not have any off‐balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on the financial performance or financial condition of the Company. For our contractual obligations, refer to Note 9 - Debt, Note 10 - Leases and Note 18 - Commitments and Contingencies of our Quarterly Financial Statements contained in Part I. Item 1 of this report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes to the risks disclosed in Item 7A of our 2022 Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, due to the existence of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as described below.

Previously Identified Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

We previously identified and disclosed deficiencies as follows:

•Insufficient accounting resources, inadequate level of precision in the performance of review and monitoring controls, including management review controls, or ineffective communication, as it relates to: financial reporting, accounting, due to the restatement of the statement of cash flows; accounting and valuation for complex financial instruments (debt and equity), earnings per share, cash and financial close process relating to cash reconciliation, inventory, property plant and equipment (“PPE”), accruals, leases, revenue, impairment and business combinations.

•Insufficient information technology general controls, as it relates to: lack of user access controls, change management, passwords, access controls reviews, backup and cybersecurity losses and vulnerabilities.

•Internal controls over financial reporting, and accounting for PPE and related accounts payable and accruals due to insufficient accounting resources and inadequate level of precision in the performance of review controls. Specifically, the material weakness related to accounting for PPE, leases and related accounts payable and

accruals is associated with insufficient cut-off procedures to ensure all posted and/or unposted invoices are captured in the period the services were rendered.

•Additionally, management determined that the Company also have material weaknesses in its accounts payable process relating to vendor setup and maintenance resulting from the Company’s finding of phishing attacks during 2022.

•Lack of projected financial covenant calculations and related impact on financial statement presentation.

We have concluded that each of these deficiencies constitutes a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

Remediation Plan and Status of Material Weaknesses

In response to the identified material weaknesses described above, the Company’s management, with the oversight of the Audit Committee, has developed a remediation plan, including designing and implementing improved processes and internal controls, upgrading talent and utilizing consultants in the accounting organization. During the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and year ended December 31, 2022, the Company took the following steps to improve its internal control over financial reporting:

•Performed a risk assessment of key business processes across financial reporting areas to identify and implement enhanced policies and procedures related to internal controls with a focus on the precision and performance of review controls;

•Improved the staffing of the Accounting Department through senior level hires who collectively bring a combined 50+ years of GAAP accounting experience, including in Fortune 500 companies and global accounting firms, and hiring additional accounting managers and staff;

•Enhanced review controls through use of checklists, accounting position papers, defined thresholds for further investigation or reassignment of tasks to more experienced team members in the following areas: statement of cash flows, earnings per share, accounting and valuation of complex financial instruments, property, plant and equipment, impairment assessment, business combinations and cash reconciliations;

•Implemented detective controls for proper cut-off of accruals;

•Assessing third party service providers which can consult in an effort to revise and enhance the Company’s Information Technology General Controls and Cyber Security Program; and

•Developing enhanced policies, procedures and accompanying training on vendor setup, maintenance and validation.

While the Company has made good progress, the Company is still in the process of fully implementing its remediation plan. Additional time is required to complete the remediation of the material weaknesses to ensure the sustainability of the recently implemented remediation actions.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

For a description of our legal proceedings, refer to Claims and Litigation in Note 18 - Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The Company is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, any of which could have a significant or material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity or consolidated financial statements. You should carefully consider the risk factors disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors”, which are included in the 2022 Form 10-K, which was also filed on SEDAR. The risks described therein and herein are not the only ones we face. Other than set forth herein, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed.

We may not be successful in defending our tax filing positions, which could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.

If our tax positions, including with respect to employee retention credit (“ERC”) claims available under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, were to be challenged by federal, state, local or foreign tax jurisdictions, we may not be wholly successful in defending our tax filing positions. We record reserves for unrecognized tax benefits based on our assessment of the probability of successfully sustaining tax filing positions. Our management exercises significant judgment when assessing the probability of successfully sustaining our tax filing positions, and in determining whether a contingent tax liability should be recorded and, if so, estimating the amount. If our tax filing positions are successfully challenged, payments could be required that are in excess of reserved amounts, or we may be required to reduce the carrying amount of our net deferred tax asset or current ERC receivable, either of which could be significant to our financial condition and results of operations.

Challenging U.S. and global economic conditions may negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Disruptions and volatility in U.S. and global financial markets, inflation, recession and declining consumer and business confidence could lead to decreased levels of consumer spending and higher costs. Our operations could be affected should a recession occur or rising inflation, the unemployment level or rising interest rates reach levels that influence consumer trends and spending and, consequently, impact the Company’s sales volume, pricing, cost of goods and profitability. These macroeconomic developments could negatively impact our business, which depends on the general economic environment and levels of consumer spending. As a result, we may not be able to maintain our existing customers or attract new customers, or we may be forced to increase or reduce the price of our products. We are unable to predict the likelihood of the occurrence, duration, or severity of a recession or other disruptions in the U.S. credit and financial markets and adverse U.S. and global economic conditions. Any general or market-specific economic downturn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
