As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms “Village Farms,” “Village Farms International,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar references refer to Village Farms International, Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries, and the term “Common Shares” refers to our common shares, no par value. Our financial information is presented in U.S. dollars and all references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “$” means U.S. dollars and all references to “C$” means Canadian dollars.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and is subject to the safe harbor created by those sections. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q also contains “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities law. We refer to such forward-looking statements and forward-looking information collectively as “forward-looking statements”. Forward-looking statements may relate to the Company’s future outlook or financial position and anticipated events or results and may include statements regarding the financial position, business strategy, budgets, expansion plans, litigation, projected production, projected costs, capital expenditures, financial results, taxes, plans and objectives of or involving the Company. Particularly, statements regarding future results, performance, achievements, prospects or opportunities for the Company, the greenhouse vegetable industry or the cannabis industry are forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking information can be identified by such terms as “outlook”, “may”, “might”, “will”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “occur”, “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “intend”, “try”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential”, “continue”, “likely”, “schedule”, “objectives”, or the negative or grammatical variation thereof or other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are subject to risks that may include, but are not limited to: our limited operating history, including that of Pure Sunfarms and our operations of growing hemp in the United States; the legal status of Pure Sunfarms cannabis business; risks relating to obtaining additional financing, including our dependence upon credit facilities; potential difficulties in achieving and/or maintaining profitability; variability of product pricing; risks inherent in the cannabis, hemp and agricultural businesses; the ability of Pure Sunfarms to cultivate and distribute cannabis in Canada; existing and new governmental regulations, including risks related to regulatory compliance and licenses (e.g., Pure Sunfarms ability to obtain licenses for its Delta 2 greenhouse facility as well as additional licenses under the Canadian act respecting cannabis to amend to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, the Criminal Code and other Acts, S.C. 2018, c. 16 (Canada) for its Delta 3 greenhouse facility), and changes in our regulatory requirements; risks relating to conversion of our greenhouses to cannabis production for Pure Sunfarms; risks related to rules and regulations at the U.S. federal (Food and Drug Administration and United States Department of Agriculture), state and municipal levels with respect to produce and hemp; retail consolidation, technological advances and other forms of competition; transportation disruptions; product liability and other potential litigation; retention of key executives; labor issues; uninsured and underinsured losses; vulnerability to rising energy costs; environmental, health and safety risks, foreign exchange exposure, risks associated with cross-border trade; difficulties in managing our growth; restrictive covenants under our credit facilities; natural catastrophes; the ongoing and developing COVID-19 pandemic; and tax risks.

The Company has based these forward-looking statements on factors and assumptions about future events and financial trends that it believes may affect its financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based upon assumptions that management believes are reasonable based on information currently available to management, there can be no assurance that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements necessarily involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, that may cause the Company’s or the industry’s actual results, performance, achievements, prospects and opportunities in future periods to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, the factors contained in the Company’s filings with securities regulators, including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In particular, we caution you that our forward-looking statements are subject to the ongoing and developing circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, operations and future financial results.

When relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions, the Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on these statements, as forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties and should not be read as guarantees of future results, performance, achievements, prospects and opportunities. The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Village Farms International, Inc. (“VFF”) and together with its subsidiaries (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is incorporated under the Canada Business Corporation Act. VFF’s principal operating subsidiaries as of March 31, 2021 are Village Farms Canada Limited Partnership (“VFCLP”), Village Farms, L.P. (“VFLP”), VF Clean Energy, Inc. (“VFCE”), and Pure Sunfarms Corp. (“Pure Sunfarms” or “PSF”). The address of the registered office of VFF is 4700 80th Street, Delta, British Columbia, Canada, V4K 3N3. VFF owns a 65% equity interest in Village Fields Hemp USA LLC (“VF Hemp”), which is recorded as an equity investment (note 9).  

The Company’s shares are listed on both the Toronto Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), in each case, under the symbol “VFF”.

The Company owns and operates sophisticated, highly intensive agricultural greenhouse facilities in British Columbia and Texas, where it produces, markets and sells premium-quality tomatoes, bell peppers, and cucumbers. The Company, through Pure Sunfarms, is a licensed producer and supplier of cannabis products to be sold to other licensed providers and provincial governments across Canada and internationally.  The Company, through its subsidiary VFCE, owns and operates a 7.0 MW power plant that generates electricity. VF Hemp cultivated one crop season of high cannabidiol (“CBD”) hemp in multiple states throughout the United States in 2017.

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are subject to seasonal variations and accordingly are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to debt instruments, derivatives, and other contracts that reference LIBOR or other reference rates expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform. This guidance is optional and may be elected through December 31, 2022 using a prospective application on all eligible contract modifications. The Company has a line of credit that incorporates LIBOR as a referenced interest rate. It is difficult to predict what effect, if any, the phase-out of LIBOR and the use of alternative benchmarks may have on the Company’s business or on the overall financial markets. The Company has not adopted any of the optional expedients or exceptions through March 31, 2021 but will continue to evaluate the possible adoption of any such expedients or exceptions.

Maturities of lease liabilities are as follows:

On November 2, 2020, Village Farms consummated a definitive purchase and sale agreement with Emerald Health Therapeutics Inc. (“Emerald”), acquiring 36,958,500 common shares in the capital of Pure Sunfarms owned by Emerald, and increasing Village Farms’ ownership of Pure Sunfarms to 100%. The shares were acquired for a total purchase price of C$79.9 million (US$60.0 million), satisfied through an initial C$60.0 million (US$45.0 million) cash payment and a C$19.9 million (US$15.0 million) secured promissory note that was payable to Emerald, which promissory note was repaid in full on February 8, 2021.

The acquisition was a business combination and has been accounted for in accordance with the measurement and recognition provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (ASC Topic 850”). ASC Topic 805 requires that the purchase consideration be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination based upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The purchase price has been allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The Company used information available to make fair value determinations and engaged independent valuation specialists to assist in the fair value determination of acquired intangible assets. The estimated fair value of licenses was determined using a multi-period excess earnings method. This earnings-based method considers the 85 net present value of the licenses’ cash flows discounted at an asset specific discount rate. The net present value attributable to the licenses deducts the contributory asset charges used in connection with the licenses. The estimated fair value of the brand was determined using the relief-from-royalty method. This method assumes that the brand has value to the extent that their owner is relieved of the obligation to pay royalties for the benefits received from them. This method requires the Company to estimate the future revenues for the related brand, the appropriate royalty rate, and an asset specific discount rate. This measure of fair value requires considerable judgment about the value a market participant would be willing to pay to achieve the benefits associated with the brand. Acquired property, plant and equipment and software was valued using the replacement cost method, which requires the Company to estimate the costs to construct an asset of equivalent utility at prices available at the time of the valuation analysis, with adjustments in value for physical deterioration and functional and economic obsolescence. Upon the acquisition of Pure Sunfarms, the Company identified goodwill of C$30,618 (US$24,314). This goodwill was calculated as the difference between the fair value of the consideration issued for the acquisition of Pure Sunfarms and the fair value of all assets and liabilities acquired. The goodwill is attributable to the acquired workforce and potential for growth through the conversion of the Delta 1 greenhouse facility and future accretive acquisitions. The Company is required to record a deferred tax liability for the difference between the assigned values and the tax bases of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. None of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. As a result of the acquisition, the Company also recognized a gain of $23.6 million due to the revaluation of its previously held investment in Pure Sunfarms to its fair value at the acquisition date. The initial accounting for the business combination was considered complete for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The following table shows the allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on estimates of fair value, including a summary of the identifiable classes of consideration transferred, and amounts by category of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:

Prior to its acquisition on November 2, 2020, the Company accounted for its investment in Pure Sunfarms, in accordance with ASC Topic 323, Equity Method and Joint Ventures (“ASC Topic 323”), using the equity method. The Company determined that Pure Sunfarms was a variable interest entity (“VIE”), however the Company did not consolidate Pure Sunfarms because the Company was not the primary beneficiary. Although the Company was able to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of Pure Sunfarms through its then 58.7% majority interest, the Company shared joint control of the board of directors and therefore was not the primary beneficiary. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company’s equity earnings from Pure Sunfarms were $3,531.

On March 2, 2020, pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Emerald transferred to the Company 2.5% of additional equity in Pure Sunfarms. The Company determined the fair value of the equity received from Emerald to be C$6.5 million (US$4.7 million). The Company recorded this amount as a gain and included it as a gain on settlement agreement on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

On March 15, 2021, Pure Sunfarms entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Third Amended and Restated PSF Credit Agreement) with Farm Credit Canada and two Canadian chartered banks, which extended the maturity date of each of the PSF Revolving Line of Credit, PSF Non-Revolving Facility and the PSF Term Loan through February 7, 2024, included an unlimited guarantee from Village Farms and changed certain financial covenants. The Third Amended and Restated PSF Credit Agreement amends and updates the previous three loan facilities. The PSF Revolving Line of Credit had no balance as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, note receivables, minority investments, trade payables, accrued liabilities, lease liabilities, note payables and debt. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying value of lease liabilities, notes payable, and debt approximate their fair values due to insignificant changes in credit risk. For its minority investments, the Company has elected the practicability election to fair value measurement, under which the investment is measured at cost, less impairment, plus or minus observable price changes of an identical or similar investment.

On March 25, 2019, the Company entered into a Grid Loan Agreement (the “Grid Loan”) with VF Hemp. The Grid Loan has a maturity date of March 25, 2022 and bears simple interest at the rate of 8% per annum, calculated monthly. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Grid Loan balance was $3,423 and $3,545, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the employee repaid $124 of the outstanding loan balance. The remaining balance will be forgiven following one year of service with the Company.

A provision for income taxes is recognized based on management’s best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year. The estimated average annual rate used for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was 26% compared to 24% for the three months ended March 31, 2020.  

The recovery of income taxes was $1,839 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $1,012 for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Village Farms International, Inc. (“VFF”), the parent company, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”, “Village Farms”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) are one of the largest and longest-operating vertically integrated greenhouse growers in North America and the only publicly traded greenhouse produce company in Canada. Following our acquisition of the remaining 41.3% interest in British Columbia-based Pure Sunfarms Corp. (“Pure Sunfarms” or “PSF”) that was completed on November 2, 2020 (the “Pure Sunfarms Acquisition”), we now own one of the single largest cannabis growing operations in the world, one of the lowest-cost greenhouse producers and one of the best-selling brands in Canada. Pure Sunfarms leverages our 30 years of experience as a vertically integrated greenhouse grower for the rapidly developing cannabis opportunity in Canada. Pure Sunfarms is currently one of the largest producers of cannabis in Canada with distribution in five Canadian provinces: British Columbia, Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. Our long-term objective for Pure Sunfarms is to be the leading low cost, high quality cannabis producer in Canada.

In our greenhouse operations, we produce and distribute fresh, premium-quality produce with consistency 365 days a year from more than eight million square feet of Controlled Environment Agriculture (“CEA”) greenhouses in British Columbia (“B.C.”) and Texas, as well as from our partner greenhouses in B.C., Ontario, and Mexico. The Company primarily markets and distributes under its Village Farms® brand name to retail supermarkets and dedicated fresh food distribution companies throughout the United States and Canada.

The Company, through its subsidiary VF Clean Energy, Inc. (“VFCE”), owns and operates a 7.0-megawatt power plant from landfill gas that generates electricity and provides thermal heat, in colder months, to one of the Company’s adjacent B.C. greenhouse facilities and sells electricity to British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority (“BC Hydro”). On November 10, 2020 we announced we will be transitioning this operation to a renewable natural gas facility (“Delta RNG Project”) in conjunction with Mas Energy, LLC (“Mas Energy”) which is expected to enhance our financial return as well as provide food-grade CO2, which can be used in both our cannabis and produce growing operations in Delta, B.C.

The Company entered the U.S. hemp business in the spring of 2019 after the passing of the 2018 Farm Bill. We established a joint venture, Village Fields Hemp USA, LLC (“VFH”), for multi-state outdoor hemp cultivation and cannabidiol (“CBD”) extraction, and initiated plans to pursue controlled environment hemp production at our Texas greenhouse operations.

Internationally, we evaluate, and target select, nascent, legal cannabis and CBD opportunities with significant long-term potential, with an initial focus on the Asia-Pacific region through our investment in Australia-based Altum International Pty Ltd (“Altum”).

Registered Direct Offering

On January 20, 2021, Village Farms completed a registered direct offering with certain institutional investors for the purchase and sale of an aggregate 10,887,097 Common Shares at a purchase price of $12.40 (approximately C$15.70) per Common Share for gross proceeds of approximately $135 million (approximately C$171 million) before placement fees and other offering expenses payable by Village Farms.

Update Relating to the Outbreak of the Coronavirus Pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus a global pandemic. This outbreak continues to cause major disruptions to businesses and markets worldwide as the virus continues to spread. A number of countries as well as certain states and cities within the United States and Canada have enacted temporary closures of businesses, issued quarantine or shelter-in-place orders, and taken other restrictive measures in response to COVID-19. To date, all of our operations are operating normally, however, the extent to which COVID-19 and the related global economic crisis affect our business, results of operations and

16

financial condition, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and any recovery period, future actions taken by governmental authorities, central banks and other third parties (including new financial regulation and other regulatory reform) in response to the pandemic, and the effects on our produce, clients, vendors and employees. We continue to service our customers amid uncertainty and disruption linked to COVID-19 and we are actively managing our business to respond to the impact.

Recent Developments

Repayment of Emerald Promissory Note

On February 5, 2021, Village Farms repaid in full the Promissory Note of C$19,900 plus accrued interest of C$622 to Emerald Health Therapeutics, Inc. (”Emerald”), that was issued in conjunction with the Purchase Agreement on September 8, 2020. The Company no longer owes any amounts to Emerald with respect to the Pure Sunfarms Transaction and the previously pledged 9,239,625 Common Shares of Pure Sunfarms have been released to the Company by the collateral agent.

The S&P/TSX Composite Index is the headline index for the Canadian equity market and is the broadest index in the S&P/TSX family. We believe that inclusion in the S&P/TSX Composite Index can potentially broaden participation in the Company's investor base by enabling investments from index funds and similar investment vehicles.

Pure Sunfarms

During the first quarter of 2021, Pure Sunfarms continued seeking opportunities to increase its production, sales, brand awareness and global footprint. A few notable accomplishments include:

Village Farms Clean Energy

In November 2020, VFCE entered into a partnership with Mas Energy to convert the current landfill gas to electricity business into a state-of-the-art landfill gas to high-demand renewable natural gas facility. Mas Energy will design, build, finance, own and operate the Delta RNG Project. VFCE renewed and extended the existing contract with the City of Vancouver to capture the landfill gas at its Delta, B.C. site. The 20-year extension, with a five-year option, commences upon the start-up of the commercial operations of the Delta RNG Project. We anticipate that the conversion to the Delta RNG Project will begin mid-2021 with commercial operations to commence in mid-2022. We expect the project to capture the CO2 from the renewable natural gas production process and make it available to Village Farms for producing crops in its three Delta, B.C. vegetable and cannabis greenhouses. The reduction in natural gas requirements is expected to decrease the total carbon footprint of Village Farms.

International

On February 8, 2021, Village Farms exercised an option to increase its equity investment in Altum from 6.6% to just under 10%. On May 5, 2021, Village Farms exercised its remaining option to increase its equity investment in Altum to just under 12%. The investment in Altum, one of Asia-Pacific’s leading CBD platforms, represents a capital efficient means to participate in opportunities in this region.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(In thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts, and unless otherwise noted)

Consolidated Financial Performance

18

We caution that our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 may not be indicative of our future performance, particularly in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We are currently unable to assess the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and our results of operations for future periods.

Segmented Financial Performance

The following segmented financial information includes the financial results of our cannabis segment (Pure Sunfarms), before any allocation to Village Farms, which were not consolidated in our financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and consolidated in our financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Discussion of Financial Results

A discussion of our consolidated results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 is included below. The consolidated results include all three of our operating segments, which include produce, cannabis and energy, along with all public company expenses. Pure Sunfarms was acquired in its entirety on November 2, 2020; for the three months ended March 31, 2021, the operating results of Pure Sunfarms are consolidated in our Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss), and for the three months ended March 31, 2020, Pure Sunfarms’ results are included in equity earnings from unconsolidated entities in our Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).

We also present a discussion of the operating results of Pure Sunfarms, before any allocation to Village Farms, which were not consolidated in our financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 but were consolidated in our results for the three months ended March 31, 2021. As a result of the Pure Sunfarms Acquisition, Pure Sunfarms recognized an increase in the fair value of its inventory on-hand on the acquisition date, resulting in a $2,925 charge to cost of sales in the first quarter of 2021 and a $3,295

19

charge to cost of sales in the fourth quarter of 2020 from the revaluation of its inventory to fair value. This is a non-cash accounting charge to cost of sales and should be adjusted for when analyzing the actual operational results of Pure Sunfarms.

Consolidated Results

Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2020

Sales

Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $52,396 as compared to $32,112 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in sales was primarily due to the inclusion of Pure Sunfarms’ Q1 2021 revenues of $17,460 and an increase in produce supply partner sales of $4,139, partially offset by a decrease in our own produce sales of ($1,234) and VFCE power sales of ($81). The produce supply partner sales increase was due to higher volumes of pounds sold of tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and mini-cucumbers. The decrease in our own produce sales was due to a (24%) decrease in the average selling price of tomatoes in the three months ended March 31, 2021 versus March 31, 2020, partially offset by a 14% increase in our own production volume. The price decrease is the result of a market supply overage caused by lower retailer demand along with an increase in Canadian tomato production from new acreage under light in 2021. The tomato produce industry is currently experiencing one of the lowest pricing environments for tomatoes-on-the-vine and beefsteak varieties in the past ten years.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $50,089 as compared to $31,347 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to the addition of Pure Sunfarms’ Q1 2021 cost of sales of $15,248, an increase in produce supply partner costs of $3,282 and higher clean energy costs of $356, partially offset by a decrease in our own production cost of sales of ($144). The Q1 2021 cost of sales for Pure Sunfarms includes a $2,925 charge from the revaluation of its inventory to fair value at acquisition date. The increase in produce supply partner cost of sales was driven by higher volumes of pounds sold and the increase in clean energy costs were driven by higher depreciation charges. The decrease in our own production costs was driven by lower cost per pound production at two of our Texas facilities and better utilization of our transportation and handling cost, primarily due to greenhouse management efficiency efforts.

Gross Margin

Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased $1,542 to $2,307, for a 4% gross margin (including the $2,925 charge from the revaluation of Pure Sunfarms’ inventory to fair value at acquisition date), in comparison to $765, for a 2% gross margin, for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased $4,467 to $5,232, for a 10% gross margin (excluding the $2,925 charge from the revaluation of Pure Sunfarms’ inventory to fair value at acquisition date). Gross margin (excluding the revaluation charge) increased due to the inclusion of Pure Sunfarms’ Q1 2021 gross margin of $5,137, partially offset by a lower produce gross margin of ($226) and a lower clean energy gross margin of ($444). The decreased produce gross margin was primarily due to lower prices for tomatoes in Q1 2021 and the lower gross margin for clean energy was driven by higher depreciation charges as the depreciable life of VFCE assets have been accelerated due to the upcoming transition of operations to the Delta RNG Project expected in mid-2021.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased $4,171 to $8,092 compared to $3,921 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the inclusion of Pure Sunfarms’ expenses of $3,966 and an increase in corporate expenses, primarily related to public company costs such as investor relations, legal and regulatory fees, listing fees for the TSX, January 2021 equity raise and incremental costs of U.S. reporting compliance.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $1,998 as compared to $529 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in share-based compensation was primarily due to the vesting of performance share grants for Pure Sunfarms’ management of $1,094 in Q1 2021 versus nil in Q1 2020, along with the cost of issuing stock options in December 2020.

Gain on Settlement Agreement

On March 2, 2020, pursuant to the settlement agreement between the Company, Pure Sunfarms and Emerald (“Settlement Agreement”), Emerald transferred to the Company 2.5% of additional equity in Pure Sunfarms. The Company determined the fair value of the equity received from Emerald to be $4,681 (C$6,500). The Company recorded this amount as a gain on non-monetary exchange on the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Recovery of Income Taxes

20

Income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was a recovery of $1,839 compared to a recovery of $1,012 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, our effective tax rate, including both current and deferred income taxes, was 19.9% and 31.8%, respectively. The equity losses for our unconsolidated entity, VFH, is reported post-tax and therefore does not affect our tax calculation. Our share of income for Pure Sunfarms was presented in equity earnings from unconsolidated entities for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Village Farms began fully consolidating operating results of Pure Sunfarms on November 2, 2020; Pure Sunfarms’ operating results are fully consolidated for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Equity (Losses) Earnings from Unconsolidated Entities

Our share of earnings from our joint ventures for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was ($127) compared to $3,229 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Our share of income from Pure Sunfarms was presented in equity earnings from unconsolidated entities for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Village Farms began fully consolidating operating results of Pure Sunfarms on November 2, 2020 and its results are presented in the Company’s consolidated operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2021. For information regarding the results of operations from our joint ventures, see “Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP Results to Proportionate Results” below.

Net (Loss) Income

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was ($7,382) as compared to net income of $4,190 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in net income is primarily due to a lower gross margin from Pure Sunfarms (which includes the $2,925 charge from the revaluation of its inventory to fair value at acquisition date) and higher company-wide selling, general and administrative expense and share-based compensation in the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to March 31, 2020, which also included a gain from the Settlement Agreement of $4,681 in March 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $404 compared to $1,096 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower operating results of both Pure Sunfarms and the produce business. See the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income in “Non-GAAP Measures—Reconciliation of Net Earnings to Adjusted EBITDA”.

Cannabis Segment Results – Pure Sunfarms

Pure Sunfarms’ comparative analysis are based on the consolidated results of Pure Sunfarms for the three months ended March 31, 2021, December 31, 2020, and March 31, 2020, not accounting for the percentage owned by Village Farms. As a result of the Pure Sunfarms Acquisition, Pure Sunfarms recognized an increase in the fair value of its inventory on-hand on the acquisition date, resulting in a $2,925 charge to cost of sales in the first quarter of 2021 and a $3,295 charge to cost of sales in the fourth quarter of 2020 from the revaluation of its inventory to fair value. This is a non-cash accounting charge to cost of sales and should be adjusted for when analyzing the actual operational results of Pure Sunfarms. See “Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP Results to Proportionate Results” for a presentation of Pure Sunfarms’ proportionate results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2020

Sales

Pure Sunfarms’ net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $17,460 as compared to $17,303 for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The sequential net sales increase was comprised of a 20% increase in branded sales, partially offset by a (49%) decrease in non-branded sales. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, 71% of revenue was generated from branded flower and 13% of revenue from tinctures and Cannabis 2.0 products (branded cannabis oil, edibles and vapes) as compared to 56% of revenue from branded flower and 12% of revenue from tinctures and Cannabis 2.0 products for the three months ended December 31, 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, non-branded sales represented 16% of revenues compared to 32% for the three months ended December 31, 2020.The decrease in non-branded sales between comparable periods was driven primarily by an oversaturated wholesale market combined with the impact of several provincial boards initiating stock keeping unit (“SKU”) rationalization and management of their March 31, 2021 fiscal year-end inventory levels, which decreased demand from other licensed producers (“LP”) in the wholesale market.

21

Cost of Sales

Pure Sunfarms’ cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $15,248 as compared to $13,918 for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The Q1 2021 and Q420 cost of sales for Pure Sunfarms includes a $2,925 and $3,295 charge, respectively, from the revaluation of its inventory to fair value at acquisition date. The increase in cost of sales between periods was driven by the higher volume of branded sales which require incremental costs for manufacturing, packaging and distribution.

Gross Margin

Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2021 decreased ($1,173) to $2,212, for a 13% gross margin, in comparison to $3,385, for a 20% gross margin, for the three months ended December 31, 2020. Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2021 decreased ($1,542) to $5,137, for a 29% gross margin (excluding the purchase price inventory adjustment of $2,925), in comparison to $6,679, for a 39% gross margin (excluding the purchase price inventory adjustment of $3,295), for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in gross margin between periods was primarily due to the increase in cost of sales associated with the higher volume of branded sales in 2021 that require incremental costs for manufacturing, packaging and distribution.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Pure Sunfarms’ selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $3,966 compared to $4,476 for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 in comparison to the three months ended December 31, 2020 was primarily due to a reduction in marketing spend and lower professional fees, such as legal and consulting services, partially offset by additional headcount to support the growth of Pure Sunfarms.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $1,094 as compared to $61 for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The increase in share-based compensation is due to the vesting of performance share grants for Pure Sunfarms’ management as well as the incremental cost of issuing stock options in December 2020.

Net (Loss) Income

Pure Sunfarms’ net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was ($2,834) as compared to ($1,720) for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The Q1 2021 and Q420 net loss for Pure Sunfarms includes a $2,925 and $3,295 charge, respectively, from the revaluation of its inventory to fair value at acquisition date. The higher net loss between periods was driven by a lower gross margin, largely attributable to a lower average selling price for non-branded sales and increased share-based compensation, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $2,534 and $2,279, respectively. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by higher net sales and lower selling, general and administrative expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020. The three months ended December 31, 2020 also included a $757 write-off of a note receivable from Emerald as part of the Pure Sunfarms acquisition.

22

Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2020

Sales

Pure Sunfarms’ net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $17,460 as compared to $13,137 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The period-over-period net sales increase was comprised of a 117% increase in branded sales, partially offset by a (62%) decrease in non-branded sales. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, 71% of revenue was generated from branded flower and 13% of revenue from tinctures and Cannabis 2.0 products as compared to 47% of revenue from branded flower for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Pure Sunfarms had not begun selling Cannabis 2.0 products in the three months ended March 31, 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, non-branded sales represented 16% of revenues compared to 53% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in non-branded sales between periods was driven primarily by an oversaturated wholesale market combined with the impact of several provincial boards initiating SKU rationalization and management of their March 31, 2021 fiscal year-end inventory levels, which decreased demand for many LPs in the wholesale market.

Cost of Sales

Pure Sunfarms’ cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $15,248 as compared to $6,258 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Q1 2021 cost of sales for Pure Sunfarms includes a $2,925 charge from the revaluation of its inventory to fair value at acquisition date. The increase in cost of sales between periods was driven by the higher volume of branded sales which require incremental costs for manufacturing, packaging and distribution.

Gross Margin

Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2021 decreased ($4,667) to $2,212, for a 13% gross margin (including the purchase price inventory adjustment of $2,925), in comparison to $6,879, for a 52% gross margin, for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2021 decreased ($1,742) to $5,137, for a 29% gross margin (excluding the purchase price inventory adjustment of $2,925). The decrease in gross margin between comparable periods was primarily due to price compression in the wholesale market over the past 12 months combined with the increase in cost of sales associated with a higher volume of branded sales which require incremental costs for manufacturing, packaging and distribution.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased $1,532, or (63%), to $3,966 compared to $2,434 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was due to incremental sales support and marketing for the higher volume of branded sales in 2021 along with additional headcount to support the growth of Pure Sunfarms.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $1,094 as compared to nil for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in share-based compensation was primarily due to the vesting of performance share grants for Pure Sunfarms’ management and Pure Sunfarms’ management not being part of the Company until November 2020.

23

Gain on Settlement of Net Liabilities

Pure Sunfarms recognized income of $4,348 in the first quarter of 2020 as an outcome of the March 2, 2020 Settlement Agreement between Pure Sunfarms, Emerald and the Company. This gain is Pure Sunfarm’s forgiveness of the shareholder loan and accrued interest owed by Emerald offset by the extinguishment of the supply agreement and any amounts receivable under it, which included a C$8,100 receivable from Emerald for sales made in 2019.

Net (Loss) Income

Pure Sunfarms’ net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was ($2,834) as compared to net income of $6,165 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Q1 2021 net loss for Pure Sunfarms includes a $2,925 charge from the revaluation of its inventory to fair value at acquisition date. The decrease in net income between periods was primarily due to lower gross margin, higher selling, general and administrative expenses and share-based compensation expense in 2021, while 2020 also included the gain on the settlement of net liabilities of $4,348.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 was $2,534 and $4,868, respectively. The lower Adjusted EBITDA between periods was primarily due to lower non-branded sales and lower gross margin in Q1 2021 as compared to Q1 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the average selling price for non-branded sales was higher than the three months ended March 31, 2020 as the wholesale market faced oversaturation in 2021.
