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 U.S. 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 laws. 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 or produce industry and the cannabis industry and market are forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking information can be identified by such terms as "can", "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 in the cannabis and cannabinoids industry, including that of Pure Sunfarms, Inc. (“Pure Sunfarms”), Rose LifeScience Inc.

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, which 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.

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.

BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

Village Farms International, Inc. (“VFF” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a corporation existing under the Ontario Business Corporations Act. VFF’s principal operating subsidiaries as of June 30, 2023 are Village Farms Canada Limited Partnership, Village Farms, L.P., Pure Sunfarms Corp. (“Pure Sunfarms”), and Balanced Health Botanicals, LLC (“Balanced Health”). VFF also owns a 70% interest in Rose LifeScience Inc. (“Rose”) and an 85% interest in Leli Holland B.V. ("Leli").

The address of the registered office of VFF is 4700-80th Street, Delta, British Columbia, Canada, V4K 3N3.

The Company’s shares are listed on Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “VFF”.

Village Farms 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. Its wholly owned subsidiary, Pure Sunfarms, is a vertically integrated licensed producer and supplier of cannabis products sold to other licensed providers and provincial governments across Canada and internationally. Through its 70% ownership of Rose, the Company has a substantial presence in the Province of Quebec as a cannabis supplier, producer and commercialization expert. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Balanced Health, develops and sells high-quality cannabidiol (“CBD”) based products including ingestible, edible and topical applications.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2022 is derived from the Company’s audited financial statements as of that date. Because certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 contained in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In management’s opinion, all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented have been included. When necessary, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, share-based compensation has been reclassified to selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) to conform with the current period presentation. Interim period operating results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. The Company believes that the disclosures made in these consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information not misleading.

Principals of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include Village Farms International, Inc. and its subsidiaries and include the accounts of all majority-owned subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control and, when applicable, entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Other parties’ interests in entities that the Company consolidates are reported as non-controlling interests within equity, except for mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests, which are recorded within mezzanine equity. Net income or loss attributable to non-controlling interests is reported as a separate line item below net income or loss. The Company applies the equity method of accounting for its investments in entities for which it does not have a controlling financial interest, but over which it has the ability to exert significant influence. For equity investees in which the Company has an undivided interest in the assets, liabilities and profits or losses of an unconsolidated entity, but does not exercise control over the entity, the Company consolidates its proportional interest in the accounts of the entity.

Translations of Foreign Currencies

The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates, with resulting translation gains or losses included within other comprehensive income or loss. Revenue and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at average rates of exchange during the applicable period. Substantially all the Company’s foreign operations use their local currency as their functional currency. For foreign operations for which the local currency is not the functional currency, the operation’s non-monetary assets are remeasured into U.S. dollars at historical exchange rates. All other accounts are remeasured at current exchange rates.

General Economic, Regulatory and Market Conditions

The Company has experienced, and may continue to experience, direct and indirect negative effects on its business and operations from negative economic, regulatory and market conditions, including recent inflationary effects on fuel prices, labor and materials costs, rising interest rates, potential recessionary impacts and supply chain disruptions that could negatively affect demand for new projects and/or delay existing project timing or cause increased project costs. The extent to which general economic, regulatory and market conditions could affect the Company’s business, operations and financial results is uncertain as it will depend upon numerous evolving factors that management may not be able to accurately predict, and, therefore, any future impacts on the Company’s business, financial condition and/or results of operations cannot be quantified or predicted with specificity.

Assessment for Indicators of Impairment

At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that would indicate an impairment. The Company considers external and internal factors, including overall financial performance and relevant entity-specific factors, as part of this assessment.

During the first six months of 2023, the Company considered qualitative factors in assessing for impairment indicators for the Company’s U.S. and Canadian cannabis segments. As part of this assessment, the Company considered both external and internal factors, including overall financial performance and outlook. At June 30, 2023, the Company concluded that no impairment indicators existed as no events or circumstances occurred that would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value of the reporting units to be below their carrying amounts.

Throughout 2022, the Company recognized macroeconomic challenges, decreases in market capitalization, decreases in transaction multiples, and continued ambiguity in federal regulations with respect to the U.S. CBD market. As of June 30, 2022, when the Company considered these qualitative factors in assessing impairment indicators it concluded that the Company's U.S.

VILLAGE FARMS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

(In thousands of United States dollars, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)

- Cannabis segment more likely than not was impaired. The Company tested that segment’s assets, including goodwill and intangible assets for impairment.

Cannabis - U.S. - Goodwill

The recoverable amount of the reporting unit was determined based on a transaction multiple of somewhat similar CBD-based companies. Management concluded that as of June 30, 2022, the recoverable amount was lower than its carrying amount and as a result, an impairment charge to goodwill of $25,169 was allocated to the reporting unit.

The significant assumptions applied to the determination of the recoverable amount are described below:

•

Transaction multiples: A market-based revenue multiple of 1.6x was utilized to determine the recoverable amount. A decrease in the multiple of .25x, would increase the impairment to goodwill by $7,000.

Cannabis - U.S. - Brand

The recoverable amount of the brand was determined based on a discounted cash flow projection. Specifically, the Company utilized a relief from royalty valuation technique to arrive at the recoverable amount of the brand. Management concluded that as of June 30, 2022, the recoverable amount was lower than its carrying value of $9,250 and as a result, an impairment charge to the brand intangible of $4,630 was allocated to the reporting unit.

The significant assumptions applied to the determination of the recoverable amount are described below:

•

Post-tax discount rate: A market participant post-tax discount rate applied to the after-tax forecast cash flows was 11%. An increase of 1% to the discount rate, would increase the impairment by approximately $530.

•

Royalty rate: An incremental royalty rate of 4.0% of revenues was applied to brand-specific revenues. A decrease to the incremental royalty rate by 0.5% would increase the impairment to brand by $1,490.

•

Future revenues: A decrease in future revenues by 10% would increase the impairment by approximately $470.

5. LINE OF CREDIT AND LONG-TERM DEBT

The following table provides details for the carrying values of debt as of:


	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022

BDC Facility - Pure Sunfarms - non-revolving demand loan at prime interest plus 3.75%, matures December 31, 2031		4,009		4,181
Total	$	50,988	$	53,467

On March 13, 2023, the Company entered into a Note Modification Agreement (the “Modification”) for its line of credit ("Operating Loan"). The Modification eliminated the use of LIBOR as a basis to determine certain interest rates and transitioned to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) for such purposes. This Modification did not have a material effect on the

(In thousands of United States dollars, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)

Company's results of operations or its financial position. The Company’s Operating Loan had $4,000 amount drawn on the facility as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The Company has two Pure Sunfarms Term Loans (“PSF Term Loans”) that had a maturity in February 2024.

The other terms and conditions of the PSF Term Loans remain substantially the same.

The carrying value of the assets and securities pledged as collateral for the FCC Loan as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $130,100 and $113,159, respectively.

The carrying value of the assets pledged as collateral for the Operating Loan as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $24,567 and $26,666, respectively.

The Pure Sunfarms line of credit had $0 and $3,529 outstanding as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Pure Sunfarms had an outstanding letter of credit issued to BC Hydro against the revolving line of credit of $C5,145.

The Company is required to comply with financial covenants, measured either quarterly or annually depending on the covenant. The Company was in compliance with all its credit facility covenants as of June 30, 2023.

The weighted average annual interest rate on short-term borrowings as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was 9.64% and 9.12%, respectively.

Accrued interest payable on all long-term debt as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $174 and $398, respectively, and these amounts are included in accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

The aggregate annual principal maturities of long-term debt for the remainder of 2023 and thereafter are as follows:


Remainder of 2023	$	2,955
2024		5,911
2025		24,764
2026		14,962

6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, note receivables, investments, trade payables, accrued liabilities, lease liabilities, note payables and debt. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, notes receivable, 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 investments, the Company has selected 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.

7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND BALANCES

One of the Company’s employees is related to a member of the Company’s executive management team and received approximately $61 and $54 in salary and benefits during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

8. INCOME TAXES

The Company has recorded a provision for income taxes of $1,299 and $1,933 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared with a recovery of income taxes of $9,714 and $11,380 for the same periods last year.

The Company’s income tax provision is based on management’s estimate of the effective tax rate for the full year. The tax (provision) benefit in any period will be affected by, among other things, permanent, as well as temporary, differences in the deductibility of certain items, changes in the valuation allowance related to net deferred tax assets, in addition to changes in tax

VILLAGE FARMS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

(In thousands of United States dollars, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)

legislation. As a result, the Company may experience significant fluctuations in the effective book tax rate (that is, tax expense divided by pre-tax book income) from period to period.

In order to fully utilize the net deferred tax assets, the Company will need to generate sufficient taxable income in future years. The Company analyzed all positive and negative evidence to determine if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not to realize the benefit of the net deferred tax assets. The recognition of the net deferred tax assets and related tax benefits is based upon the Company’s conclusions regarding, among other considerations, estimates of future earnings based on information currently available and current and anticipated customers, contracts, and product introductions, as well as historical operating results and certain tax planning strategies.

Based on the analysis of all available evidence, both positive and negative, the Company has concluded that it does not have the ability to generate sufficient taxable income in the necessary period to utilize the entire benefit for the deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company established a valuation allowance of $30,419 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company cannot presently estimate what, if any, changes to the valuation of its deferred tax assets may be deemed appropriate in the future. If the Company incurs future losses, it may be necessary to record additional valuation allowance related to the deferred tax assets recognized as of June 30, 2023.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s net deferred tax assets totaled approximately $4,201 and were primarily derived from net operating loss carryforwards.

9. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Village Farms International, Inc. (“VFF”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “Village Farms”, “we” “us” or “our”) is a corporation existing under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). The Company’s principal operating subsidiaries are Village Farms Canada LP ("VFCLP"), Village Farms LP ("VFLP"), Pure Sunfarms Corp (“Pure Sunfarms” or "PSF"), Balanced Health Botanicals, LLC (“Balanced Health”), and Rose LifeScience Inc. ("Rose LifeScience” or “Rose”).

The Company’s vision is to be recognized as an international leader in consumer products developed from plants, whereby we produce and market value-added products that are consistently preferred by consumers. To do so, we leverage decades of cultivation expertise, investment, and experience in fresh produce across profitable, high growth plant-based opportunities.

In Canada, we converted two produce facilities to grow cannabis for the Canadian legal adult use (recreational) market. Our focus for our Canadian Cannabis segment is to produce high quality cannabis, leveraging our low-cost production to provide preferred products at an attractive price that address the largest consumer segments in the market. This market positioning, combined with our cultivation expertise, has enabled us to evolve into the best-selling Canadian licensed producer (“LP”) of dried flower products, the third best-selling Canadian producer overall and one of the few consistently adjusted EBITDA positive Canadian LPs.

Additionally, through organic growth, acquisitions and/or exports, we have a strategy to participate in other international markets where cannabis attains legal status. In September 2021, our Canadian Cannabis business began exporting cannabis products to Australia for that country’s medical market. In March 2022, our Canadian Cannabis business received European Union Good Manufacturing Practice (“EU GMP”) certification for Pure Sunfarms’ 1.1 million square foot Delta 3 cannabis facility located in Delta, British Columbia (“B.C.”) which permits Pure Sunfarms to export EU GMP-certified medical cannabis to importers and distributors in international markets that require EU GMP certification. In late 2022, Pure Sunfarms commenced exports to Israel and in 2023, Pure Sunfarms began exporting cannabis products to Germany for the medical markets in those countries. As a result of the typically higher margins in international medical markets, we expect international expansion should enhance our profitability while expanding our brand and experience into emerging legal cannabis markets. We also have one of ten licenses to cultivate cannabis legally in the Netherlands under that country’s Closed Supply Chain Experiment program through our 85% ownership of Leli Holland.

Balanced Health, our industry-leading cannabinoid business, extends our cannabis portfolio into cannabidiol (“CBD”) consumer products, which are being sold in the United States.

We also operate a large, well-established produce business (primarily tomatoes) under the Village Farms Fresh (“VF Fresh”) brand which sells into food and mass retail stores. We own and operate produce cultivation assets in Texas and Delta, B.C. and source produce from our growing partners, in Mexico and Canada. Our intention is to use our assets, expertise and experience (across cannabis, CBD and produce) to participate in the U.S. cannabis market subject to compliance with applicable US federal and state laws and stock exchange rules.

Our Operating Segments

Canadian Cannabis Segment

Our Canadian Cannabis segment is composed of wholly owned Pure Sunfarms and 70% owned Rose LifeScience.

Pure Sunfarms is one of the single largest cannabis growing operations in the world, one of the lowest-cost greenhouse producers and is the top selling dried flower brand in Canada. PSF leverages our 30 years of experience as a vertically integrated greenhouse grower for the high growth cannabis opportunity in Canada with commercial distribution in ten Canadian provinces and territories that represent 98% of total Canadian legal recreational cannabis sales. Our long-term objective for PSF is to be the leading low-cost, high-quality cannabis producer and brand in Canada.

Rose is one of the top-selling licensed producers of cannabis in the Province of Quebec, as well as a prominent cannabis products commercialization expert in Quebec, acting as the exclusive, direct-to-retail sales, marketing and distribution entity for some of the best-known brands in Canada, as well as Quebec-based micro and craft growers.

U.S. Cannabis Segment

Our U.S. Cannabis segment is composed of wholly owned Balanced Health.

Balanced Health is one of the leading cannabinoid brands and e-commerce platforms in the United States. Balanced Health develops and sells high-quality CBD-based health and wellness products, distributing their diverse portfolio of consumer products through retail storefronts and its top-ranked e-commerce platform, CBDistillery™.

Produce Segment

Our Produce segment is composed of VF Fresh, which currently consists of Village Farms LP and Village Farms Canada.

Through VF Fresh, we grow, market and distribute premium-quality, greenhouse-grown produce in North America. These premium products are grown in sophisticated, highly intensive agricultural greenhouse facilities located in British Columbia and Texas. We also market and distribute premium tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers produced under exclusive arrangements from our greenhouse supply partners located primarily in Mexico, B.C. and Ontario. We primarily market and distribute under our Village Farms® brand name to retail supermarkets and dedicated fresh food distribution companies throughout the United States and Canada.

Energy Segment

Our Energy segment is composed of wholly owned VF Clean Energy Inc.

VFCE, which has partnered with Mas Energy for the Delta RNG Project based on VFCE’s 20-year contract (plus five-year option) with the City of Vancouver to capture landfill gas at the Delta, B.C. landfill site (the "Delta RNG Project"). The Delta RNG Project will convert VFCE’s previous landfill gas-to-electricity business into a state-of-the-art landfill gas to high-demand renewable natural gas ("RNG") facility. Mas Energy intends to sell the renewable natural gas and VFCE will receive a portion of the revenue in the form of a royalty. The facility will also provide food-grade CO2 that can be used in both our cannabis and produce growing operations in Delta or can be provided to other users of CO2. Mas Energy is in process of completing the facility and we expect the Delta RNG Project to begin operations later this year.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized earnings measure and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of the Company because it excludes non-recurring and other items that do not reflect our business performance. Adjusted EBITDA includes the Company’s 70% interest in Rose LifeScience since acquisition.

We caution that our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 may not be indicative of our future performance.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2022

Sales

Canadian Cannabis net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were $28,065 as compared to $29,793 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease between comparable quarters was driven by a (64%) decrease in non-branded sales, as well as an unfavorable impact of exchange rate fluctuations, partially offset by an 18% increase in branded sales. The 18% increase in branded sales was attained through increased sales in Ontario and Alberta as well as Rose’s strengthening position in Quebec. Canadian Cannabis branded revenue growth was primarily in the large format and pre-rolls offset by a decrease in small formats, milled and cannabis derivative products for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The (64%) decrease in non-branded sales was primarily due to an oversupplied LP market, which has resulted in continuing desperation pricing by some LPs, which has resulted in fluctuations in our non-branded channels. International sales increased by $901, or 189%, to $1,377 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 versus $476 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 the increase was primarily driven by incremental sales to Australia.

Canadian Cannabis continues to pay a burdensome excise tax on its branded sales (provincial sales). For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred $13,966 (C$18,760) versus $11,188 (C$14,279) of excise taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase of $2,778 (C$4,481) in excise taxes was due to an increase in kilograms sold in this provincial (branded) channel in the second quarter of 2023 versus the second quarter of 2022. The Canadian excise tax is our single largest cost of participating in the adult-use market in Canada.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, 85% of revenue was generated from branded flower, inclusive of pre-rolls, 4% of revenue from cannabis derivative products and 11% from non-branded sales as compared to 67% of revenue from branded flower, inclusive of pre-rolls, 4% from cannabis derivative products and 29% from non-branded sales for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

The period-over-period cost of sales decrease of $936 or 5% was primarily due to a lower bulk cost per gram and a favorable impact of exchange rate fluctuations, partially offset by increases in kilograms produced, packaged and sold, of branded products in Q2 2023 as compared to Q2 2022. The Q2 2022 cost of sales included a positive adjustment (reduction in cost of sales) of $1,766 from the revaluation of Pure Sunfarms' inventory to fair value at acquisition date of November 2, 2020.

Gross Margin

Canadian Cannabis gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased ($792) to $10,716, or a 38% gross margin, in comparison to $11,508, or a 39% gross margin, for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Net Income

Canadian Cannabis net income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $1,174 compared to net income of $1,822 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in net income between periods was primarily due to a lower gross margin, partially offset by improvements in SG&A.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 was $4,778 and $2,743, respectively. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA between periods was primarily due to improved margins in 2023 versus 2022, excluding the revaluation of Pure Sunfarms' inventory to fair value. See the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income in “Non-GAAP Measures—Reconciliation of Net Earnings to Adjusted EBITDA”.

Sales

Canadian Cannabis net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were $53,177 as compared to $51,562 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase between comparable periods was driven by a 28% increase in branded sales partially offset by a (57%) decrease in non-branded sales and the unfavorable impact of exchange rate fluctuations. The 28% increase in branded sales was attained through increased sales in Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba as well as to Rose’s strengthening position in Quebec. Canadian Cannabis branded revenue growth was primarily in the small format, large format-single and pre-rolls offset by a decrease in milled and cannabis derivative products for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The (57%) decrease in non-branded sales was primarily due to an oversupplied LP market, which has resulted in continuing desperation pricing by some LPs, which has resulted in fluctuations in our non-branded channels. International sales increased by $2,415, or 372%, to $3,064 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 versus $649 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 the increase was primarily driven by incremental sales to Australia.

The increase of $7,566 (C$11,717) was due to higher kilograms sold in this provincial (branded) channel in the first half of 2023 versus the first half of 2022. The Canadian excise tax is our single largest cost of participating in the adult-use market in Canada.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, 86% of revenue was generated from branded flower, inclusive of pre-rolls, 4% of revenue from cannabis derivative products and 10% from non-branded sales as compared to 67% of revenue from branded flower, inclusive of pre-rolls, 6% from cannabis derivative products and 27% from non-branded sales for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2023, we had $31,659 in cash and $84,934 of working capital, and as of December 31, 2022, we had $21,676 in cash and $60,769 of working capital. The increase was primarily due to cash proceeds from the January 2023 Equity Offering (as defined below). We believe that our existing cash, together with cash generated from our operating activities, and the remaining

availability under our Operating Loan (as defined below), and our PSF revolving line of credit, and future availability under our ATM (as defined below), will provide us with sufficient liquidity to meet our working capital needs, repayments of long-term debt, future contractual obligations and planned capital expenditures for the next 12 months. In addition, we may obtain additional liquidity from potential equity or debt financing in the future. We intend to use our cash on hand for daily operational funding requirements.


(in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted)	Maximum Availability		Outstanding as of June 30, 2023
Operating Loan	C$	10,000	$	4,000
FCC Term Loan	$	23,772	$	23,772
Pure Sunfarms Loans	C$	36,063	$	27,216

The Company’s borrowings under the FCC Term Loan (as defined below) and the Operating Loan (as defined below) (collectively the “Credit Facilities”) are subject to certain positive and negative covenants, including debt ratios, and the Company is required to maintain certain minimum working capital.

FCC measures our financial covenants once a year on the last calendar day of the year and our next annual testing date will be on December 31, 2023. We can provide no assurance that we will be in compliance, or receive a waiver, for any non-compliance as of the next annual testing date.

Accrued interest payable on the Credit Facilities and Pure Sunfarms Loans as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $174 and $398, respectively. These amounts are included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

The Company does not expect the Modification to materially change the amount of interest payable under the Operating Loan. The Operating Loan is subject to margin requirements stipulated by the lender.

The changes before non-cash working capital items for 2023 as compared to 2022 was primarily due to a lower net loss from VF Fresh as well as impairments on our goodwill and intangibles in 2022 that were non-recurring, partially offset by slightly lower net income from our Canadian Cannabis and U.S. Cannabis businesses.

Investing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, cash flows used in investing activities were ($1,713) and ($13,681), respectively. The investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 consisted of ($2,548) invested in capital expenditures to support our VF Fresh and Canadian and U.S. Cannabis operations, partially offset by the repayment of the promissory note to Altum. The investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 consists of a ($2,715) loan to L.L. Lichtendahl, a private company that holds a 50% interest in Leli, a promissory note to Altum of ($727) and ($10,232) invested in capital expenditures, primarily to support Canadian Cannabis operations.

Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash flows provided by financing activities were $17,012 and cash flows used in financing activities were ($2,910) for the six months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash flows provided by financing activities consisted of $23,335 in proceeds from the issuance of Common Shares net of issuance costs, $83 in proceeds from the exercise of stock options and repayment of debt of ($6,406). For the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash flows used in financing activities consisted of $4,000 for proceeds from the Operating Loan, $192 of proceeds from the exercise of stock options, offset by cash flows used in financing activities of ($6,490) in repayments on borrowings.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

We expect to meet our contractual obligations and commitments using our working capital and our other resources described under “Capital Resources” above. Other than with respect to our long-term debt described above, we currently do not have any material cash requirements in the near future.

Non-GAAP Measures

References in this MD&A to “Adjusted EBITDA” and "Adjusted EBITDA - Constant Currency" (Collectively "Adjusted EBITDA") are to earnings (including the equity losses of the joint venture, VFH) before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), as further adjusted to exclude foreign currency exchange gains and losses on translation of long-term debt, unrealized gains on the changes in the value of derivative instruments, share-based compensation, gains and losses on asset sales and the other adjustments set forth in the table below. Adjusted EBITDA are measures of operating performance that are not recognized under GAAP and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Investors are cautioned that Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income or loss determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of our performance. Adjusted EBITDA is used as additional measures to evaluate the operating and financial performance of our segments. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure in evaluating the historical performance of the Company because it excludes non-recurring and other items that do not reflect our business performance.

(1)

Represents impairments to goodwill of ($25,159) and intangible assets of ($4,630) that were triggered by inflationary effects on consumer spending, decreases in market capitalization of CBD companies and the continued federal regulation lack of clarity with respect to CBD.

(2)

Represents exit related costs incurred due to the winding down of the VF Hemp joint venture.

(3)

The purchase price adjustment primarily reflects the non-cash accounting charge resulting from the revaluation of Pure Sunfarms’ inventory to fair value at the acquisition date on November 2, 2020, Pure Sunfarms' intangible amortization and Rose intangible amortization resulting from the September 30, 2022 finalization of the Rose purchase price accounting.

(4)

Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized earnings measure and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA presented for these segments may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of the Company because it excludes non-recurring and other items that do not reflect the underlying business performance of the Company.

The Adjusted EBITDA for JVs consists of the VF Hemp Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized earnings measure and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA presented for these segments may not be comparable to similar measures presented for comparable segments by other issuers. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of the Company’s segments because it excludes non-recurring and other items that do not reflect the business performance of our segments. Adjusted EBITDA for Canadian Cannabis includes the 70% interest in Rose LifeScience and Adjusted EBITDA for “Corporate” and “Total” includes our 65% interest in VFH.

Constant Currency

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have presented constant currency adjusted financial measures for sales, cost of sales, selling, general and administrative, other income (expense), operating (loss) income, loss from consolidated entities, net loss, and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, which are considered non-GAAP financial measures. We present constant currency information to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying operations performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. To present this information, current and comparative prior period income statement results in currencies other than U.S. dollars are converted into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates from the three and six month comparative periods in 2022 rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the respective current periods. All growth comparisons relate to the corresponding period in 2022. We have provided this non-GAAP financial information to aid investors in better understanding the performance of our segments without taking into account the effect of exchange rate fluctuations. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Quarterly Report should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The table below sets forth certain measures of consolidated results from continuing operations on a constant currency basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 on an as reported and constant currency basis (in thousands):

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

No accounting pronouncements recently issued or newly effective have had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.

We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements, so we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Actual results could differ from the estimates we use in applying our critical accounting policies. We are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in materially different amounts being reported.

Assessment for Indicators of Impairment

Goodwill

Factors Affecting Goodwill

The Company has experienced macroeconomic challenges, such as a decrease in market capitalization driven by decreases in transaction multiples for cannabis and CBD companies, as well as the continued ambiguity in federal regulations with respect to the U.S. CBD market. Macroeconomic challenges include inflation, which affects cultivation costs, distribution costs and operating expenses, as well as rising interest rates, supply shortages and volatile commodity prices.

The U.S. CBD market and the comparable market capitalizations for our CBD competitors declined throughout 2022 as a result of continued ambiguity in federal regulations. CBD was taken off the controlled substance list in the Farm Bill of 2018. In 2019, the FDA ruled that CBD was deemed to be a “medicine”. However, CBD remains subject to further study by the FDA in order to receive FDA approval to include CBD based products in food and beverages. Until the FDA receives either more scientifically-based health and wellness studies, or further Congressional direction, the FDA will not allow CBD to be put into food or beverages. As such, there has been a negative impact on the sales of all CBD products across the country since the initial interest in CBD products in 2019 and 2020. This has resulted in U.S. retailers moving away from carrying CBD based products in light of potential FDA scrutiny and has had a negative impact on the sales of all CBD products across the United States.

The FDA continues to not only publish guidance indicating their unwillingness to pursue rulemaking allowing the use of CBD in dietary supplements or conventional foods, but also issue warning letters to some CBD companies that are making health and wellness claims, which has increased regulatory uncertainty regarding CBD and has pushed U.S. retailers further away from CBD products.

As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company and other cannabis and CBD companies have suffered a decline in the price of their common shares and their overall market capitalizations. These declines represented an indicator of possible goodwill and intangible asset impairment for the Company.

Cannabis – U.S.

As a result of foregoing factors, we performed a goodwill impairment assessment for the Company’s Cannabis – U.S. segment as of June 30, 2022. On June 30, 2022, the estimated fair value of goodwill for the Cannabis – U.S. segment using the market-based approach. The most significant assumption used in applying the market approach was a market-based revenue multiple of 1.6x based on transaction multiples of somewhat similar CBD-based companies. We concluded that as of June 30, 2022, the recoverable amount was lower than its carrying amount and as a result, an impairment charge to goodwill of $25,169 was allocated to the Cannabis – U.S. segment for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

In addition, due to further erosion in the market values publicly traded CBD companies relating to the ongoing uncertainty regarding the regulatory status of CBD and the corresponding decline in retail sales of CBD products, we concluded that as of December 31, 2022, the recoverable amount of goodwill for the U.S. – Cannabis segment was lower than its carrying amount and as a result, an additional impairment charge to goodwill of $13,500 was allocated to the U.S. – Cannabis segment. Accordingly, we recognized a total goodwill impairment charge of $38,669 in 2022. For more information, see Note 11 to our audited annual financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

As of June 30, 2023, there were no goodwill impairment indicators for the Company’s Cannabis – U.S. segment. Accordingly, the Company did not perform a goodwill impairment assessment for the Company’s Cannabis – U.S. segment as of June 30, 2023. Given this, no goodwill impairment charge was required for the Cannabis – U.S. segment.

The carrying value of goodwill associated with our Cannabis – U.S. segment was $21,339 at June 30, 2023 and $34,839 at June 30, 2022.

Cannabis - Canada

There were no goodwill impairment indicators for the Cannabis – Canada segment throughout 2022 and 2023. Accordingly, the Company did not perform a goodwill impairment assessment for the Company’s Cannabis – Canada segment.

The carrying value of goodwill associated with our Cannabis – Canada segment was $45,900 at June 30, 2023 and $57,804 at June 30, 2022.

Future Periods; Further Information

To the extent we continue to observe impairment indicators for our Cannabis – U.S. and/or Cannabis – Canada segments or our other reporting units, we may be required to perform quantitative goodwill impairment assessments for such reporting units in future periods.

For further information regarding our goodwill and any applicable impairment testing, see Note 11 to our audited annual financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and Note 4 to our interim financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Intangible Assets

Factors Affecting Intangible Assets

Intangible assets include licenses, brands and trademarks, customer relationships, computer software and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, which were impacted by the same factors as those affecting goodwill (see “—Factors Affecting Goodwill” above).

Cannabis – U.S.

As a result of foregoing factors, we performed a brand impairment assessment for the Company’s Cannabis – U.S. segment as of June 30, 2022. On June 30, 2022, the estimated fair value of the Cannabis – U.S. brand was determined using a discounted cash flow projection. We concluded that as of June 30, 2022, the recoverable amount was lower than its carrying amount and as a result, an impairment charge to the brand intangible of $4,630 was allocated to the Cannabis – U.S. segment.

As of June 30, 2023, there were no brand impairment indicators for the Company’s Cannabis – U.S. segment. Accordingly, the Company did not perform a brand impairment assessment for the Company’s Cannabis – U.S. segment as of June 30, 2023.

Cannabis - Canada

There were no impairment indicators for identifiable intangibles for the Cannabis – Canada segment throughout 2022 and 2023. Accordingly, the Company did not perform impairment assessments for the Company’s Cannabis – Canada.

Future Periods; Further Information

To the extent we continue to experience intangible assets impairment indicators for our Cannabis – U.S. and/or Cannabis – Canada segments or our other reporting units, we may be required to perform quantitative intangible asset impairment assessments for such reporting units in future periods.

For additional information regarding our intangible assets and applicable impairment testing, see Note 11 to our audited annual financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and Note 4 to our interim financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

As of June 30, 2023, our variable interest rate debt was primarily related to our Credit Facilities and Term Loans. Outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility and Term Loans bear interest at either the (a) Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or (b) Canadian Prime Rate, as defined in the agreement, plus an applicable margin. As of June 30, 2023, we had approximately $4,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding revolving loans under our Operating Loan with a weighted average interest rate of 6.48% and we had approximately $50,988 in aggregate principal amounts with Term Loans with a weighted average interest rate of 8.22%. The current interest rates for outstanding revolving loans under our Credit Facility and Term Loans reflect basis point increases of approximately 3.7% over the comparable period in 2022.

Our interest expense is affected by the overall interest rate environment. Our variable rate interest debt subjects us to risk from increases in prevailing interest rates. This risk increases in the current inflationary environment, in which the Federal Reserve has increased interest rates, resulting in an increase in our variable interest rates and related interest expense. An additional 50 basis point increase in the applicable interest rates under our Credit Facility and Term Loan would have increased our interest expense by approximately $131 and $65 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively and $149 and $76 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

While we cannot predict our ability to refinance existing debt or the significance of the impact that interest rate movements will have on our existing debt, management evaluates our financial position on an ongoing basis.

Foreign Exchange Risk

As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Canadian/U.S. foreign exchange rate was C$1.00 = US$0.7547 and C$1.00 = US$0.7995, respectively. If all other variables remain constant, an increase of $0.10 in the Canadian dollar would have the following impact on the ending balances of certain statements of financial position items at June 30, 2023 and 2022 with the net foreign exchange gain or loss directly impacting net income (loss).


	June 30, 2023			June 30, 2022
Financial assets
Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,433		$	1,060
Trade receivables		2,572			3,470
Inventories		8,346			7,800
Prepaid and deposits		965			1,030
Financial liabilities
Trade payables and accrued liabilities		(5,776	)		(6,003	)
Loan payable		(3,606	)		(4,492	)
Deferred tax liability		(2,764	)		(2,399	)
Net foreign exchange gain	$	1,170		$	466

Our exposure to foreign exchange risk and the impact of foreign exchange rates are monitored by the Company’s management but generally the Company tries to match its sales (trade receivables) and vendor payments (trade payables) such that the net impact is not material.

Other than the interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk discussed above, there have been no material changes to our market risks from those disclosed in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this

Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective at a reasonable assurance level due to the material weakness described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Material Weakness in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

As of December 31, 2022, our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control –Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this assessment, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on those criteria because a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting existed as of that date, as described below.

The Company did not operate effective controls over the calculation of the recoverable amount of goodwill and intangible assets. The Company’s controls related to the calculation of the recoverable amount of goodwill failed to prevent or detect an error in the revision of certain of the formulas and significant assumptions within the calculation of recoverable amount. There was no impact on the Company’s December 31, 2022 financial statements.

Remediation Plan and Status

In the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company implemented remediation to improve the operation of its controls over the review of the determination of the recoverable amount of its goodwill and intangible assets. The Company will continue to review, optimize and enhance its financial reporting controls and procedures to ensure the remediation measures are effective and controls are operating effectively. The Company expects implementation of its remediation plan by December 31, 2023.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, has reviewed the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act), other than to address the material weakness described in management's report on internal control over financial reporting, during the six months ended June 30, 2023 (as described above) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
