Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(In thousands of U.S. dollars, except share amounts) Table of Contents
1. Background, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Background
Cronos Group Inc. (“Cronos” or the “Company”) is incorporated in the province of British Columbia under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) with principal executive offices at 4491 Concession Rd 12, Stayner, Ontario, L0M 1S0. The Company’s common shares are currently listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) under the ticker symbol “CRON.”
Cronos is a global cannabis company focused on scaling leading consumer goods products through research and development and innovation. With a passion to responsibly elevate the consumer experience, Cronos is building an iconic brand portfolio. Cronos’ diverse international brand portfolio includes Spinach ® , PEACE NATURALS ® , LIT ™ and Lord Jones ® .
(b) Basis of presentation
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Cronos are unaudited. They have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other reporting period.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Annual Report”).
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation of our condensed consolidated interim financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations and ending shareholders’ equity.
(c) Segment information
Segment reporting is prepared on the same basis that the Company’s chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) manages the business, makes operating decisions and assesses the Company’s performance. The Company has determined that it has one operating segment and therefore one reportable segment, which is comprised of operations in Canada and Israel and is involved in the cultivation, manufacture, and marketing of cannabis and cannabis-derived products for the medical and adult-use markets .
(d) Revenue recognition
The following table presents the Company’s revenue by major product category:
Three months ended June 30,
2026 2025
Cannabis flower $ 39,214 $ 25,025
Cannabis extracts 13,774 8,360
Other 19 70
Net revenue $ 53,007 $ 33,455
Six months ended June 30,
2026 2025
Cannabis flower $ 72,948 $ 48,369
Cannabis extracts 25,231 16,968

(In thousands of U.S. dollars, except share amounts) Table of Contents
Net revenues attributed to a geographic region based on the location of the customer were as follows:
Three months ended June 30,
2026 2025
Canada $ 28,710 $ 19,150
Israel 15,018 9,376
Other countries 9,279 4,929
Net revenue $ 53,007 $ 33,455
Six months ended June 30,
2026 2025
Canada $ 54,061 $ 39,280
Israel 29,169 18,605
Other countries 14,987 7,832
Net revenue $ 98,217 $ 65,717
(e) Short-term investments and non-current interest-bearing deposits
Short-term investments and non-current interest-bearing deposits are classified as held-to-maturity and recorded at cost. Interest earned on short-term investments and non-current interest-bearing deposits is recorded in interest receivables on the consolidated balance sheets and interest income, net on the condensed consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). Cash inflows and outflows related to the purchase and maturity of short-term investments and non-current interest-bearing deposits are classified as investing activities in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company’s short-term investments and non-current interest-bearing deposits were $ 330,000 and $ 30,000 , respectively, as of June 30, 2026 and $ 40,000 and nil , respectively, as of December 31, 2025, and were comprised of guaranteed investment certificates held in Canada.
(f) Concentration of risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities, primarily accounts receivable and other receivables, and its investing activities, including cash held with banks and financial institutions, short-term investments, non-current interest-bearing deposits and loans receivable. The Company’s maximum exposure to this risk is equal to the carrying amount of these financial assets, which amounted to $ 901,439 and $ 909,839 as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date using a provision matrix to measure expected credit losses. The provision rates are based on the days past due for groupings of various customer segments with similar loss patterns. The calculation reflects the probability-weighted outcome, the time value of money and reasonable and supportable information that is available at the reporting date about past events and current conditions. Effective January 1, 2026, the Company elected the practical expedient under ASU 2025-05 (as defined below), which permits the assumption that current conditions as of the reporting date remain unchanged for the remaining life of the asset when developing the expected credit loss estimate for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from contracts with customers. Accounts receivable are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, among others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, and a failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 120 days past due. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $ 15 and $ 9 , respectively, in expected credit losses that have been recognized on receivables from contracts with customers.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company assessed that there is a concentration of credit risk, as 36 % of the Company’s accounts receivable were due from two customers with an established credit history with the Company. As of December 31, 2025, 16 % of the Company’s accounts receivable were due from one customer with an established credit history with the Company.

(In thousands of U.S. dollars, except share amounts) Table of Contents
The Company sells products to a limited number of major customers. Major customers are defined as customers that each individually accounted for greater than 10% of the Company’s net revenue before excise taxes. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company earned a total net revenue before excise taxes of $ 30,804 from two major customers, together accounting for 44 % of the Company’s total net revenue before excise taxes. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company earned a total net revenue before excise taxes of $ 18,112 from two major customers, together accounting for 41 % of the Company’s total net revenue before excise taxes. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company earned a total net revenue before excise taxes of $ 55,401 from two major customers, together accounting for 43 % of the Company’s total net revenue before excise taxes. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company earned a total net revenue before excise taxes of $ 35,856 from two major customers, together accounting for 42 % of the Company’s total net revenue before excise taxes.
(g) Adoption of new accounting pronouncement
In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (“ASU 2025-05”). ASU 2025-05 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. Entities should apply the new guidance prospectively. This ASU effectively simplifies the expected credit loss analysis on accounts receivable and contract assets. Entities may now elect a practical expedient that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date will not change for the remaining life of the asset when evaluating the likelihood of repayment. The adoption of ASU 2025-05 did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
(h) New accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 adds an obligation under ASC 220-40 to require a footnote disclosure about specific expenses by requiring public business entities to disaggregate, in a tabular presentation, each relevant expense caption on the face of the income statement that includes any of the following natural expenses: (1) purchases of inventory, (2) employee compensation, (3) depreciation, (4) intangible asset amortization, and (5) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil and gas-producing activities or other types of depletion expenses. The tabular disclosure would also include certain other expenses, when applicable. ASU 2024-03 does not change or remove existing expense disclosure requirements; however, it may affect where that information appears in the footnotes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and applicable entities are required to adopt ASU 2024-03 prospectively; however, companies are permitted to apply the amendments in ASU 2024-03 retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2024-03 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In January 2025, the effective date was further clarified with the issuance of ASU 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”). No guidance was changed with ASU 2025-01, but the issuance simply ensures that all public business entities have a clear and consistent timeline for implementing the enhanced expense disaggregation disclosures.
In December 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Improvements to Interim Disclosure Requirements (“ASU 2025-11”). ASU 2025-11 clarifies and reorganizes existing interim reporting guidance to improve its operability and consistency, primarily by emphasizing that interim disclosures should focus on significant changes since the most recent annual reporting period. The amendments do not change the recognition or measurement of amounts reported in the financial statements. The guidance is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The adoption of ASU 2025-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The High Tide Warrant is classified as a derivative that is not being held as a hedge and was initially recorded at a fair value of C$ 6,989 to other investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheet on the transaction date. The High Tide Warrant’s fair value is estimated at each reporting date using a Black-Scholes model. Key inputs include the share price and volatility of High Tide common shares, the risk-free rate and the remaining term of the High Tide Warrant. Changes in the fair value of the High Tide Warrant are recorded as income (loss) on revaluation of financial instruments on the condensed consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

Cannasoul Collaboration Loan
The Company holds a variable interest in Cannasoul Lab Services Ltd. (“CLS”). CLS is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cannasoul Analytics Ltd., which has established a commercial cannabis analytical testing laboratory (the “Cannasoul Laboratory”) located on the premises of Cronos Israel (the “Cannasoul Collaboration”). Cronos Israel agreed to advance up to ILS 8,297 by a non-recourse loan (the “Cannasoul Collaboration Loan”) to CLS over a period of two years from April 1, 2020 for the capital and operating expenditures of the Cannasoul Laboratory. The Cannasoul Collaboration Loan bears interest at 3.5 % annually. Cronos Israel will receive 70 % of the profits of the Cannasoul Laboratory until such time as it has recovered 150 % of the amounts advanced to CLS, after which time it will receive 50 % of the Cannasoul Laboratory profits. As a result, the Company is exposed to economic variability from CLS’s performance. The Company does not consolidate CLS as it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; thus, the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of the entity. The carrying amount of the Cannasoul Collaboration Loan is recorded under loans receivable and the full amount of the Cannasoul Collaboration Loan, ILS 8,297 , represents the Company’s maximum potential exposure to losses through the Cannasoul Collaboration.
As of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, CLS has received ILS 8,297 from the Cannasoul Collaboration Loan.
High Tide Loan
On July 16, 2025, the Company, as lender, and High Tide, as borrower, entered into the High Tide Loan. The High Tide Loan bears interest at 4 % per annum, payable in cash quarterly, and provides for conversion of the debt into common shares of High Tide at a price of C$ 4.20 per common share. The High Tide Loan is convertible only upon the agreement of the Company and High Tide. The High Tide Loan has a term of five years and may be repaid early with no penalty. Additionally, the Company received the High Tide Warrant, which is exercisable into up to 3,836,317 common shares of High Tide at an exercise price of C$ 3.91 per Warrant Share. See Note 3 “ Investments ” for discussion of the High Tide Warrant.
The loan receivable was recorded at a fair value as of the transaction date of C$ 18,591 and will be amortized using the effective interest method over the estimated life of the loan. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, High Tide paid $ 213 and $ 425 , respectively, in interest. As of June 30, 2026, the High Tide loan receivable included an unamortized discount of $ 6,921 and an expected credit loss of $ 4,960 as presented in the tables below.
Credit Quality Indicators
The Company is exposed to credit risk on loan receivables. Credit risk is the risk of loss arising from the failure of borrowers to meet the terms of the contract or otherwise fail to perform as agreed. Because each borrower has distinct risk characteristics, the Company evaluates each loan individually rather than as part of a broader portfolio. The Company routinely reviews its borrowers and assesses their financial health to estimate current expected credit losses. This assessment involves examining historical loss data—including benchmarking risk grades using Moody’s reports across different economic cycles—analyzing asset-specific risks, particularly those unique to the cannabis industry, and evaluating the current financial status and forecasted financial results of each borrower. Furthermore, the Company assigns credit risk ratings through an ordinal logit regression model, which compares borrowers’ credit quality to other rated companies by analyzing key financial metrics such as total assets, debt, revenue, earnings before interest and taxes, and net income.

7. Restructuring
In the first quarter of 2022, the Company initiated a strategic plan to realign the business around its brands, centralize functions and evaluate the Company’s supply chain (the “Realignment”). As part of the Realignment, on February 28, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved plans to leverage the Company’s strategic partnerships to improve supply chain efficiencies and reduce manufacturing overhead by exiting its production facility in Stayner, Ontario, Canada (the “Peace Naturals Campus”). On February 27, 2023, the Board approved revisions to the Realignment, under which the Company was maintaining select components of its operations at the Peace Naturals Campus, namely distribution warehousing, certain research and development activities and manufacturing of certain of the Company’s products. In the third quarter of 2023, the Board approved revisions to the Realignment to wind-down operations at the Company’s Winnipeg, Manitoba facility (the “Cronos Fermentation Facility”), list the Cronos Fermentation Facility assets for sale (the “Cronos Fermentation Held-For-Sale Assets Group”), and implement additional organization-wide cost reductions as the Company continues its Realignment initiatives. On November 26, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement for the sale and leaseback of the Peace Naturals Campus, which was subsequently terminated pursuant to its terms during the second quarter of 2024. The Company plans to continue and expand operations at the Peace Naturals Campus. In the first quarter of 2025, the Company continued its Realignment initiatives to transform its IT infrastructure and finance departments to drive long-term cost efficiencies, improve cross-functional collaboration, and support global scalability. These actions included leadership transitions, consolidation of certain roles, and assessment of, and investment in, critical IT infrastructure. The Realignment initiatives are intended to position the Company to drive profitable and sustainable growth over time.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company incurred $ 308 and $ 792 , respectively, of restructuring costs in connection with the Realignment. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred $ 768 and $ 1,323 , respectively, of restructuring costs in connection with the Realignment. Charges related thereto include employee-related costs such as severance and other termination benefits, as well as IT infrastructure and finance transformation costs associated with the Realignment.
The following tables summarize the Company’s restructuring activity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and three and six months ended June 30, 2025:

9. Share Repurchase Program
On May 8, 2026, the Board unanimously authorized a share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”) of up to $ 50,000 , which succeeded the Company’s prior share repurchase program upon its expiration on May 13, 2026. The Share Repurchase Program commenced on May 14, 2026 and is expected to expire on May 13, 2027, unless earlier terminated. Repurchases under the program may be made from time to time, either through open market purchases at then-prevailing market prices through the facilities of the TSX, the Nasdaq or other U.S. or Canadian published markets, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Open market repurchases will not exceed 18,712,918 common shares, the maximum amount permitted by applicable Canadian securities laws. The timing and amount of repurchases are subject to market conditions, compliance with applicable laws and regulations and any other factors management of the Company may deem relevant. The program does not obligate Cronos to acquire any specific dollar amount or number of common shares and may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time.

10. Commitments and Contingencies
(a) Commitments
There have been no material changes in the information regarding commitments as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report.
(b) Contingencies
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business and in connection with its marketing, distribution and sale of its products. Many of these legal proceedings are in the early stages of litigation and seek damages that are unspecified or not quantified. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe these legal proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition but could be material to its results of operations for any particular reporting period depending, in part, on its results for that period.

On March 11 and 12, 2020, two alleged shareholders of the Company separately filed two putative class action complaints in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York against the Company and its Chief Executive Officer and former Chief Financial Officer. The court consolidated the cases, and the consolidated amended complaint alleges violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5, promulgated thereunder, against all defendants, and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the individual defendants. The consolidated amended complaint generally alleges that certain of the Company’s prior public statements about revenue and internal controls were incorrect based on the Company’s disclosures relating to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors’ review of the appropriateness of revenue recognized in connection with certain bulk resin purchases and sales of products through the wholesale channel. The consolidated amended complaint does not quantify a damage request. The defendants moved to dismiss on February 8, 2021. On November 17, 2023, the court entered an order granting the motion and dismissed the case with prejudice. On December 1, 2023, the shareholder plaintiffs sought reconsideration of the dismissal, requesting that the court instead dismiss the action without prejudice and permit the plaintiffs to seek leave to further amend the complaint. On December 3, 2024, the court issued an opinion and order granting the plaintiffs’ motion for reconsideration, and on January 10, 2025, the plaintiffs filed a second amended class action complaint, which the defendants moved to dismiss. On May 30, 2025, the parties jointly informed the court that they had reached an agreement-in-principle to settle the action and the court then stayed all deadlines in the action. On December 2, 2025, the plaintiffs moved for preliminary approval of the proposed settlement. The proposed settlement includes a payment of $ 10 million to be distributed, after fees and expenses, to members of the settlement class and a release by class members of their claims, including in the New York and Ontario actions, based on shares acquired on the Nasdaq or any other public U.S. market for trading stocks during the class period. The release would apply to claims relating to shares acquired on the Nasdaq or any other public U.S. market during the class period but would not resolve claims of persons who acquired shares on the TSX. On July 20, 2026, a magistrate judge to whom the court referred the preliminary approval motion issued a recommendation that the district court preliminarily approve the proposed settlement. On August 4, the district court entered an order granting preliminary approval of the settlement. The proposed settlement remains subject to final approval by the court and certain other conditions not within the Company’s control. One of the shareholder plaintiffs in the Ontario action has informed the court that he intends to oppose approval of the settlement.

On June 3, 2020, an alleged shareholder filed a Statement of Claim, as amended on August 12, 2020, in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, seeking, among other things, an order certifying the action as a class action on behalf of a putative class of shareholders and damages of an unspecified amount. The Amended Statement of Claim named (i) the Company, (ii) its Chief Executive Officer, (iii) former Chief Financial Officer, (iv) former Chief Financial Officer and Chief Commercial Officer, and (v) current and former members of the Board as defendants and alleged breaches of the Ontario Securities Act, oppression under the Ontario Business Corporations Act and common law misrepresentation. The Amended Statement of Claim generally alleged that certain of the Company’s prior public statements about revenue and internal controls were misrepresentations based on the Company’s March 2, 2020 disclosure that the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors was conducting a review of the appropriateness of revenue recognized in connection with certain bulk resin purchases and sales of products through the wholesale channel, and the Company’s subsequent restatement. The Amended Statement of Claim did not quantify a damage request. On June 28, 2021, the Court dismissed motions brought by the plaintiff for leave to commence a claim for misrepresentation under the Ontario Securities Act and for certification of the action as a class action. The plaintiff appealed the Court’s dismissal of the motions only with respect to the Company, the Chief Executive Officer, and the now former Chief Financial Officer; the remaining defendants were dismissed from the matter with prejudice and the Company and all individual defendants agreed not to seek costs from the plaintiff in connection with the dismissal of the motions. On September 26, 2022, the Court of Appeal for Ontario reversed the Superior Court’s dismissal of the leave and certification motions, granted the plaintiff leave to proceed to bring a claim for misrepresentation under the Ontario Securities Act, and remitted the certification motion back to the Superior Court. On April 11, 2023, the plaintiff filed a Fresh as Amended Statement of Claim, which reflected the dismissal of the defendants for which an appeal was not sought, the removal of the claims for oppression under the Ontario Business Corporations Act and common law misrepresentation, as well as shortening the proposed class period. On October 10, 2023, the Superior Court certified the action on behalf of a class of persons or entities who acquired shares in the secondary market, including on the TSX and Nasdaq, during the period from May 9, 2019 to March 30, 2020, other than certain excluded persons.
(ii) Regulatory reviews relating to restatements
On October 24, 2022, the Company announced regulatory settlements as follows:
SEC Settlement
On October 24, 2022, the SEC issued an Order Instituting Cease-and-Desist Proceedings Pursuant to Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21(c) of the Exchange Act, Making Findings, and Imposing a Cease-and-Desist Order (the “Settlement Order”) resolving the restatements of our 2019 and 2021 interim financial statements (the “Restatements”).
The Company agreed to settle with the SEC, without admitting or denying the allegations described in the Settlement Order. The Settlement Order fully and finally disposed of the investigation of the Company by the SEC into the Restatements without the payment of any civil penalty or other amount.
The Settlement Order required the Company to cease-and-desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, Sections 10(b), 13(a), 13(b)(2)(B) of the Exchange Act and Rules 10b-5, 13a-13, 13a-15(a), 13a-16 and 12b-20 thereunder.
As a result of the Settlement Order, the Company (i) lost its status as a well-known seasoned issuer for a period of three years, (ii) is unable to rely on the private offering exemptions provided by Regulations A and D under the Securities Act for a period of five years and (iii) was unable to rely on the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for a period of three years.
OSC Settlement
On October 24, 2022, the Ontario Capital Markets Tribunal approved a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) between the Company and the staff of the Ontario Securities Commission (the “OSC”), resolving the Restatements.
Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, which fully and finally disposed of the investigation of the Company by the OSC, Cronos agreed to pay a total of C$ 1.34 million to fully settle the matter, and acknowledged that it had failed to comply with the requirement under Section 77 of the Ontario Securities Act to file interim financial reports in the manner set out therein and had acted in a manner contrary to the public interest.

(iii) Litigation and regulatory inquiries relating to marketing, distribution, import and sale of products
On April 17, 2023, a group of plaintiffs led by the Green Leaf (Ale Yarok) political party filed a Statement of Claim and Request for Approval of a Class Action on behalf of a purported class of Israeli cannabis consumers in the District Court of Tel Aviv, Israel, against 26 cannabis-related parties, including three Cronos Israel entities. The Statement of Claim alleges that the defendants violated certain laws relating to the marketing of medical cannabis products, including marketing to unlicensed cannabis consumers. The lawsuit seeks a total of ILS 420 million. The Cronos Israel defendants moved to dismiss the action on August 13, 2023. The court granted the motion (and similar motions filed by other defendants) on May 16, 2024, dismissing the plaintiffs’ petition for class certification without prejudice and their individual claims with prejudice, and ordering the plaintiffs to pay ILS 10 thousand to each of the defendants for costs. On July 14, 2024, the plaintiffs appealed to the Supreme Court of Israel seeking to overturn both the dismissal of plaintiffs’ individual claims and the award of costs. The appeal is pending.
On January 18, 2024, the Company was notified that the Trade Levies Commissioner of the Israel Ministry of Economy and Industry initiated a public investigation of alleged dumping of medical cannabis imports from Canada into Israel. On July 9, 2024, the Commissioner announced a preliminary determination proposing to impose an anti-dumping duty on Canadian licensed producers. Under the proposal, the Company would have been subject to a proposed duty of 369%. The Commissioner determined not to impose a provisional duty at that time pending the conclusion of the Ministry’s investigation. The Company responded to requests for information from the Ministry. On November 10, 2024, the Trade Levies Commissioner published final findings under which the Company would be subject to a proposed duty of 175%. The Commissioner’s findings were then evaluated by an ad hoc advisory committee. On December 12, 2024, the Minister of Economy announced a conflict of interest and recused himself from the evaluation of whether to impose a duty. On April 10, 2025, notwithstanding the previous recusal, the Minister of Finance released a memorandum opposing the imposition of the duty, which acted as a veto of the Minister of Economy’s approval. On April 29, 2025, the Ministry of Justice issued a memorandum sustaining the Minister of Finance’s veto. A provisional duty is not being imposed at this time. The Company cannot predict further proceedings or determinations of the Ministers of Economy or Finance, or the Finance Committee or the Knesset and cannot predict whether a duty will ultimately be imposed on its products.
On July 25, 2024, a group of cannabis cultivators filed an administrative petition in the District Court of Jerusalem, Israel, against the Trade Levies Commissioner and certain Israeli and Canadian businesses. The administrative petition sought a court order requiring the Trade Levies Commissioner to impose a temporary duty on cannabis imported from Canada during the pendency of the investigation until the date on which a final determination is made by the Ministry of Economy whether to impose a duty. On September 9, 2024, the Company filed a motion to join the litigation; the court granted the Company’s motion on September 23, 2024. On February 6, 2025, the court dismissed the administrative petition. On June 12, 2025, a group of cannabis cultivators initiated a second administrative proceeding against the government and certain importers, including the Company’s subsidiaries in Israel, asking the court to declare the Minister of Finance’s veto void and order the Minister of Economy to impose an anti-dumping duty. On June 26, 2025, the cultivators moved the court for an interim injunction, which the court denied on July 13, 2025. On December 18, 2025, the court dismissed the administrative petition. The deadline for petitioners to appeal was February 16, 2026.
On June 29, 2026, the Trade Levies Commissioner initiated a new anti-dumping investigation concerning imports of medical cannabis flower from Canada following a complaint filed by two Israeli producers. The investigation covered alleged dumping during 2025 and alleged injury during 2023 through 2025, and, for purposes of initiating the investigation, the Commissioner identified a prima facie dumping margin of approximately 125 %. On July 28, 2026, the Commissioner terminated the investigation on procedural grounds. The termination was not based on a substantive determination of the merits and did not preclude the filing of another complaint or the initiation of a new investigation. On July 30, 2026, a new complaint concerning imports of medical cannabis from Canada was filed on behalf of the Israeli domestic industry. On August 2, 2026, the Commissioner notified the Government of Canada that the new complaint contained sufficient prima facie evidence of dumping, material injury to the domestic industry and a causal link between the alleged dumping and injury. On August 5, 2026, the Commissioner notified the Company of the initiation of a new investigation. The Company cannot predict the timing or outcome of the new investigation or any related proceeding, or whether any provisional or final anti-dumping duty or other import restriction will ultimately be imposed.
We expect litigation and regulatory proceedings relating to the marketing, distribution, import and sale of our products to increase.

11. Segment Information
Segment reporting is prepared on the same basis that the CODM manages the business, makes operating decisions and assesses the Company’s performance. The CODM is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Company operates as a single segment with the purpose of providing high-quality cannabis products to adult-use, wholesale, and medical market customers globally. The consolidated results are regularly reviewed by the CODM to assess the performance of the Company’s single segment operations and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources. The CODM reviews adjusted earnings (loss) before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) as the measure of segment profit or loss to evaluate performance of and allocate resources for its reportable segment. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and non-cash items and items that do not reflect management’s assessment of ongoing business performance. The CODM believes Adjusted EBITDA provides useful insight into underlying business trends and results and facilitates comparison of period-over-period results. In addition, certain significant expenses are regularly reviewed by the CODM and considered for business decisions and allocation of resources; these significant expenses include: cost of sales and inventory write-down, which are presented in determining gross profit, and sales and marketing, research and development, general and administrative, depreciation and amortization, and share-based compensation expense, which are presented within operating expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). Furthermore, the CODM regularly reviews total cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and non-current interest-bearing deposits to aid in capital allocation decisions.

The Company complies with ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. In general, fair values are determined by:
• Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves.
• Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
