Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Charlotte’s Web Holdings Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Charlotte’s Web Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America..
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
/s/ PKF O’Connor Davies, LLP
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2024.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Description of the Business
Charlotte's Web Holdings, Inc. together with its subsidiaries, (collectively "Charlotte's Web" or the "Company") is a public company incorporated pursuant to the laws of the Province of British Columbia. The Company's common shares are publicly listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") under the symbol "CWEB" and quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol "CWBHF." The Company's corporate headquarters is located in Louisville, Colorado, in the United States of America. The majority of the Company's business is conducted in the United States of America.
The Company's primary products are made from high-quality and proprietary strains of whole-plant hemp extracts containing a full spectrum of phytocannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids and other hemp compounds. Hemp extracts are produced from the plant Cannabis sativa L. ("cannabis" or "CBD"), and any part of that plant, including the seeds thereof and all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers, whether growing or not, with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol ("THC") concentration of not more than 0.3% on a dry weight basis ("hemp"). The Company is engaged in research involving the effectiveness of a broad variety of compounds derived from hemp, as well as other botanical-based wellness products such as functional mushrooms. The Company does not currently produce or sell medical or recreational marijuana or products derived from high-THC cannabis plants. The Company does not currently have any plans to expand into such high-THC products in the near future.
The Company's current product categories include full-spectrum hemp extract oil tinctures (liquid product), gummies, soft-gels, CBD topical creams and lotions, broad-spectrum botanical CBD gummies, functional mushroom gummies, and pet products. The Company's products are distributed through its e-commerce website, third-party e-commerce websites, select distributors, and healthcare practitioners.
The Company grows its proprietary hemp domestically in the United States on farms leased in northeastern Colorado and sources hemp through contract farming operations in Arizona, Colorado, Kentucky, New Mexico and Canada. The hemp grown in Canada is utilized exclusively in the Canadian markets or for research purposes and not in products sold within the United States.
In furtherance of the Company's research and development ("R&D") efforts, the Company established CW Labs, an internal division for R&D, to expand the Company's efforts around the science of hemp-derived compounds. CW Labs is currently engaged in clinical trials addressing hemp-based health solutions. CW Labs is located in Louisville, Colorado at the Company's current good manufacturing practice ("cGMP") production and distribution facility.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an emerging growth company ("EGC"), as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, and as a result of this election, the consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company FASB standards' effective dates. The Company can elect to early adopt, if permitted by the accounting standard. The Company may take advantage of these exemptions up until the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of an offering or such earlier time that it is no longer an EGC.
Smaller Reporting Company Status
The Company is a "smaller reporting company" as defined in the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act") Rule 12b-2. As a result, the Company is eligible to take advantage of certain reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies including; however, not limited to, not being subject to the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Company will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the aggregate worldwide market value of its common shares held by non-affiliates equaled or exceeded $250 million as of the prior June 30th, or (2) its annual revenues equaled or exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the aggregate worldwide market value of its common shares held by non-affiliates equaled or exceeded $700 million as of the prior June 30th.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF ESTIMATES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Unless otherwise indicated, comparisons are to comparable prior periods, and 2025 and 2024 refer to the 12 months ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make informed estimates, judgments, and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, and the disclosures in the accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates such estimates and assumptions for continued reasonableness. In particular, management makes estimates with respect to any (i) inventory provision, (ii) underlying assumptions that affect the potential impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, (iii) ability to realize income tax benefits associated with deferred tax assets, and (iv) underlying assumptions that affect the fair value of derivative instruments and investments in unconsolidated entities. Appropriate adjustments, if any, to the estimates used are made prospectively based upon such periodic evaluation. Management's estimates are based on historical information available at the date of the consolidated financial statements and various other assumptions management believes are reasonable based on the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Reclassifications and prior period presentations
Certain amounts presented in prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the allocated net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing the allocated net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares together with the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common shares had been issued. Since the Company was in a loss position for the periods presented, basic net loss per share is the same as diluted net loss per share since the effects of potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive.
Segments
Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which discrete financial information is available that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. As such, the Company has one operating segment, which is the business of hemp-based CBD wellness products, which makes up substantially all of the revenue at this time. All long-lived assets are located in the United States and substantially all revenue is attributed to customers based in the United States.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share, per share, per unit, and number of years)
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company's financial instruments that are potentially exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The cash amounts in deposit accounts held in excess of federally-insured limits were $ 7,785 and $ 22,367 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses on its cash deposits.
The Company provides credit to its customers in the normal course of business and has established credit evaluation and monitoring processes to mitigate credit risk; however, has limited risk, as the majority of its sales are transacted with cash. Accounts receivable are unsecured, and the Company does not require collateral from its customers. For the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenue.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Accounts receivable is stated as the amount billed, net of an estimated allowance for credit losses ("ACL"). The Company's ACL is adjusted periodically and is based on management's consideration of the age and nature of the past due accounts as well as specific payment issues. The Company considers as past due any receivable balance not collected within its contractual terms. Changes in the Company's estimate to the ACL is recorded through bad debt expense and individual accounts are charged against the allowance when all reasonable collection efforts are exhausted.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less any applicable selling expenses. Cost includes all expenses for direct raw materials inputs, as well as costs directly attributable to the manufacturing process as well as suitable portions of related production overheads, based on normal operating capacity. Cost is determined by use of the weighted average method. The Company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs or write-offs of inventory based on its assessment of market conditions, including forecasted demand compared to quantities on hand, as well as other factors such as potential excess or aged inventories, historical annihilation trends of finished goods applied to current inventory of finished goods to estimate current reserve needs, and other factors that affect inventory obsolescence, including State and Federal regulatory considerations. The Company's raw materials inventories of harvested hemp are recorded at cost to harvest. Raw materials costs as well as production costs are included in the carrying value of the Company's finished goods inventory. The Company's inventory production process for cannabinoid products includes the cultivation of botanical raw material. Due to the duration of the cultivation process, a portion of the inventory will not be sold within one year. Consistent with the practice in other industries that cultivate botanical raw materials, all inventory is classified as a current asset. Refer to Note 4 "Inventories" for further discussion.

Property and Equipment, Net
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Building
30 years
Machinery and equipment
4 - 12 years
Furniture and fixtures
5 - 7 years
Leasehold improvements
Shorter of useful life or term of lease ( 4 - 10 years)
Construction-in-process assets are capitalized during construction and depreciation commences when the asset is placed into service. Significant improvements that extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance which do not extend the useful lives of assets are expensed as incurred. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gains or losses are recognized.
Intangible Assets, Net
Finite Lived Intangible Assets
Finite lived intangible assets consist of software, patents, and licenses. These intangible assets were determined to have finite lives and are amortized over their useful lives. Software is stated at cost less accumulated amortization. The costs of obtaining a patent are capitalized and amortized over its useful life.
Amortization is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives of the assets:
Software
2 - 5 years
Patents
15 - 20 years
Capitalized Software Development Costs
The Company develops software for internal use. Software development costs incurred during the application development stage, which includes payroll and payroll-related costs related to employees and third-party consultant costs are capitalized. The Company amortizes these costs over the estimated useful life of the software, which is generally three years . These costs are included in intangible assets, net on the consolidated balance sheets.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews intangible assets with indefinite useful lives for impairment at least annually and reviews all intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets subject to depreciation and amortization, as well as indefinite lived intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable or that the useful life is shorter than the Company had originally estimated. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of each asset or asset group to the future undiscounted cash flows the asset or asset group is expected to generate over their remaining lives. If the asset or asset group is considered to be impaired, the amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset or asset group. If the useful life is shorter than originally estimated, the Company amortizes the remaining carrying value over the new shorter useful life.

Investment in Unconsolidated Entities
The Company has a variable interest in the investment in DeFloria; however, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of DeFloria as it lacks the power to direct DeFloria's key activities. The Company concluded that the investment in DeFloria should not be consolidated. In accordance with ASC 825-10, equity method investments are eligible for the fair value option as they represent recognized financial assets. As the Company was not required to consolidate the investment and does not meet any of the other scope exceptions, the Company had the ability to adopt the fair value option for the investment at inception. The investment was remeasured at fair value after each reporting date, with changes recognized in consolidated statements of operations, as changes in fair value of financial instruments for the period.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception based on whether there is an identified asset and whether the Company controls the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use. Arrangements containing leases are classified as either finance or operating. The Company does not have any finance leases. For operating leases, right-of-use ("ROU") assets are recognized at the lease commencement date and represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Lease obligations are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments over the remaining lease term.
Present value of lease payments are discounted based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, as the Company’s operating leases generally do not provide an implicit rate. The estimated incremental borrowing rate is based on the information available at the lease commencement date for collateralized borrowings with a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments and in a similar economic environment where the leased asset is located. The collateralized borrowings were based on the Company’s credit rating corroborated with market credit metrics like debt level and interest coverage.
Options to renew or terminate the lease are recognized as part of the Company’s ROU assets and lease liabilities when it is reasonably certain the options will be exercised. ROU assets are also assessed for impairments consistent with the Company’s long-lived asset policy.
Operating lease expense for fixed lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments for real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance, and utilities, which are generally based on the Company’s pro rata share of the total property, are not included in the measurement of the ROU assets or lease liabilities and are expensed as incurred.
Operating leases are presented separately as operating lease right-of-use assets, net and lease obligations, current and non-current, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, that do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet.
Convertible Debenture
The Company determined that the debenture is a freestanding financial instrument, which includes embedded derivatives. The embedded derivatives have been bifurcated from the debenture and accounted for separately in accordance with the provisions of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging . The Company reviewed the terms of the debenture and identified two material embedded features which required bifurcation and separate accounting pursuant to the provisions of ASC 815: i) the interest rate conversion feature based on changes in federal regulations, and ii) the debt conversion option to common shares. The debt interest rate conversion feature is classified as a derivative asset and measured at fair value using a probability weighted income approach. The debt conversion option is classified as a derivative liability and measured at fair value using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company allocated proceeds first to the derivatives measured at fair value and the residual amount is allocated to the debenture. Debt issuance costs are allocated to the debenture. The debt issuance costs are presented as a direct reduction from the face value of the debenture and amortized over the stated term of the debenture. Refer to Note 3 "Fair Value Measurement" and Note 8 "Debt" for additional discussion regarding the convertible debenture and derivative instruments.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from customers when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer. This generally occurs when products are shipped, at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. Freight revenue is included in revenue on the consolidated statements of operations, and is generally exempt from state sales taxes. Sales tax collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and therefore are excluded from revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.
Contracts are written to include standard discounts and allowances. Contracts are not written to include advertising allowances, tiered discounts or any other performance obligation. Since the Company’s contracts involve the delivery of various tangible products, the arrangements are considered to contain only a single performance obligation, as such there is no allocation of the transaction price.
The Company also offers e-commerce discounts and promotions through its online rewards program. The Charlotte’s Web Loyalty Program offers customers rewards points for every dollar spent through the Company website to earn store credit for future purchases. The Company defers recognition of revenue for unredeemed awards until the following occurs: i) rewards are redeemed by the consumer, ii) points or certificates expire, or iii) an estimate of the expected unused portion of points or certificates is applied, which is based on historical redemption patterns.
Any product that doesn't meet the customer’s expectations can be returned within the first 30 days of delivery in exchange for another product or for a full refund. Any product sold through a distributor or retailer must be returned in the original purchase location for any return or exchange. The Company accounts for customer returns utilizing the "expected value method". Expected amounts are excluded from revenue and recorded as a "refund liability" that represents the Company’s obligation to return the customer’s consideration. Estimates are based on actual historical and current specific data.
The majority of the Company’s revenue is derived from sales of branded products to consumers via the Company's e-commerce website, third-party e-commerce websites, select distributors, and health practitioners. The Company and DeFloria, Inc. ("DeFloria") entered into a Master Services Agreement ("Services Agreement") in which the Company is compensated for certain services to DeFloria. Refer to Note 16 for additional disclosure on the DeFloria Service Agreement. The following table sets forth the disaggregation of the Company’s revenue:

December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $ 8,127 and $ 7,978 of advertising expense, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses also includes research and development expenses, which are expensed as incurred. For the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $ 1,805 and $ 2,332 , respectively, of research and development expenses.
Defined Contribution Plan
The Company has a defined contribution plan, under which the Company contributes based on a percentage of the employees’ elected contributions. Defined contribution expense of $ 346 and $ 493 was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Share-based Compensation
The Company accounts for compensation expense for share-based option awards to employees, non-employee directors, and other non-employees based on the estimated grant date fair value of the options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period for stock options. The fair value of stock options are estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires assumptions and judgments regarding stock price, volatility, risk-free interest rates, dividend yields, and expected option terms. The Company uses the historical volatility and grant date closing price of its publicly traded shares to estimate the grant-date fair value of its stock options. Share-based compensation is recognized net of actual forfeitures when they occur. All share-based compensation costs are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations in selling, general and administrative expense.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets or liabilities are computed based on the temporary difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal income tax rate in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax expense or benefit is based on the changes in the deferred income tax assets or liabilities from period to period. A valuation allowance is established if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and the valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets. The Company assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered as deductions from future taxable income. The evaluation of the need for a valuation allowance is performed on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis and includes a review of all available positive and negative evidence. Factors reviewed include projections of pre-tax book income for the foreseeable future, determination of cumulative pre-tax book income or loss, earnings history, and reliability of forecasting. It is the Company's policy to offset indefinite lived deferred tax assets with indefinite lived deferred tax liabilities. The Company provided a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets because it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company accounts for uncertainties in income taxes under Topic 740, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement methodology to recognize and measure an income tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. With respect to any tax positions that do not meet the recognition threshold, a corresponding liability, including interest and penalties, is recorded in the consolidated financial statements. The Company may be subject to examination by tax authorities where the Company conducts operations. T he Company’s tax years prior to 2022 are closed for federal income tax purposes. The Company’s 2019 tax year was opened for examination by the IRS during the second half of 2023. The statute of limitations on assessment with respect to the Company’s 2019 Form 1120 remains open until June 30, 2027, pursuant to an agreed-upon extension to the applicable statute of limitations. The Company’s 2022 through 2024 t ax years remain open until the general statute of limitations lapses for each respective tax year. Refer to Note 14 "Income Taxes" for disclosures on uncertain tax positions. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties on taxes, if any, as income tax expense.

3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value.
Level 1 —Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date
Level 2 —Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities
Level 3 —Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data for the related assets or liabilities
The categorization of a financial instrument within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and other
83

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share, per share, per unit, and number of years)
receivables, notes receivable and payable, asset derivatives, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, cultivation liabilities, convertible debenture, liability derivatives, investment in unconsolidated entity, and other current assets and liabilities. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and other receivables, accounts payable and other current assets and liabilities approximated fair values because of their short-term nature. The carrying value of the notes receivable and cultivation liability approximates the fair value as the stated interest rate approximates market rates currently available to the Company. The carrying value of the convertible debenture approximates the fair value after adjustments for the bifurcated embedded derivatives and other discounts , refer to Note 8 "Debt" note for additional fair value disclosures.
The following table sets forth the Company’s financial instruments that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2025 and 2024, by level within the fair value hierarchy:

Investment in Unconsolidated Entity
On April 6, 2023, the Company jointly formed an entity, DeFloria, with AJNA BioSciences PBC ("AJNA"), and a subsidiary of British American Tobacco PLC ("BAT"). AJNA is a botanical drug development company. AJNA is partially owned and was co-founded by members of the Stanley Brothers. The seven Stanley brothers (the "Stanley Brothers") founded CWB Holdings, Inc (predecessor to Charlotte's Web, Inc).

CHARLOTTE’S WEB HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share, per share, per unit, and number of years)
As of December 31, 2025, BAT holds an equity interest in DeFloria in the form of approximately 2,000,000 or 100 % preferred units ( 200,000 preferred units as of December 31, 2024) following its $ 10 million initial investment and has the right to participate in future equity issuances to maintain its pro rata equity position. In 2024, BAT and AJNA invested an additional $ 5 million and $ 2 million, respectively, into DeFloria in exchange for a convertible debenture. The Company and AJNA each hold 4,000,000 or approximately 50 % ( 400,000 common shares as of December 31, 2024), respectively, of DeFloria's voting common units following a 1-10 stock split when DeFloria converted from a Limited Liability Company to a Corporation. The Company's contribution to DeFloria is a license permitting the use of certain proprietary hemp intellectual property, including clinical and consumer data. Additionally, the Company has a supply agreement with DeFloria, under which the Company supplies the oils at cost used to produce and develop the new drug. AJNA's contribution to the entity is laboratory and regulatory services, clinical expertise, and the provision of clinical services. DeFloria used the investments for the clinical development of a hemp botanical Investigational New Drug application and has concluded Phase I clinical development.
Concurrently with the formation of DeFloria, the Company was issued a warrant to purchase 865,052 shares of Class A Common Stock of AJNA for an exercise price of $ 2.89 per share. Management determined the warrant should be accounted for in accordance with ASC 321, which requires the warrant to be measured at fair value at issuance and subsequently remeasured at fair value each reporting period. All changes from the remeasurement of the warrant will be recorded as a change in fair value of financial instruments in the consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2025, AJNA warrants have expired and as such have no value.
The Company determined that it has a variable interest in the investment in DeFloria; however, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of DeFloria as it lacks the power to direct DeFloria's key activities. The Company concluded that the investment in DeFloria should not be consolidated. The maximum exposure to loss in the investment in DeFloria is limited to the Company's investment, which is represented by the financial statement carrying amount of its retained interest.
In accordance with ASC 825-10, equity method investments are eligible for the fair value option as they represent recognized financial assets. As the Company is not required to consolidate the investment and does not meet any of the other scope exceptions, the Company had the ability to adopt the fair value option for the investment at inception. Upon formation of the entity, the Company elected the fair value option because it allowed the investment to be valued based on current market conditions.
The investment has been remeasured at fair value at each reporting date, with changes recognized in consolidated statements of operations as changes in fair value of financial instruments for the period. For the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, a loss of $ 2,000 and $ 200 , respectively, related to the investment in DeFloria was recognized as a change in fair value of financial instruments in the consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the DeFloria investment represents an investment of $ 8,800 and $ 10,800 , respectively, within the consolidated balance sheets.
The use of assumptions for the fair value determination includes a high degree of subjectivity and judgment using unobservable inputs (level 3 on the fair value hierarchy), which results in estimation uncertainty. To determine the value of the investment, the Company utilizes an Option Pricing Model ("OPM"). The OPM considers the various terms of the stockholder agreements, including the level of seniority among the securities, dividend policy, conversion ratios, and cash allocations upon liquidation of the entity. The OPM is appropriate when the range of potential future outcomes is difficult to predict with any certainty.
The following additional assumptions are used in the model:

Convertible Debt Derivatives
On November 14, 2022, the Company entered into a subscription agreement (the "Subscription Agreement") with BT DE Investments, Inc. a wholly-owned subsidiary of BAT Group (LSE: BATS and NYSE: BTI) (the "Lender"), providing for the issuance of $ 56.8 million (C$ 75.3 million) convertible debenture (the "debenture"). The debenture is convertible into 19.9 % ownership of the Company's common shares at a conversion price of C$ 2.00 per common share of the Company on the TSX. The debenture will accrue interest at a stated annualized rate of 5 % until such time that there is federal regulation permitting the use of cannabidiol, a phytocannabinoid derived from the plant Cannabis sativa L . as an ingredient in food products and dietary supplements in the United States. (The term "federal regulation" is defined as the date that federal laws in the United States permit, authorize or do not prohibit the use of CBD as an ingredient in food products and dietary supplements). Following federal regulation of CBD, the annualized rate of interest shall reduce to 1.5 %. The maturity date for the debenture is November 14, 2029 (the "Maturity Date").
The Company determined that the debenture did not meet the definition of a freestanding derivative under ASC 815 "Fair Value Measurement for financial statement", and required the bifurcation of two embedded derivatives, the debt interest rate conversion feature and the debt conversion option.
Debt Interest Rate Conversion Feature
The debt interest rate conversion feature is classified as a financial asset and is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date, with changes recognized in the consolidated statements of operations as changes in fair value of financial instruments for the period. The use of assumptions for the fair value determination includes a high degree of subjectivity and judgment using unobservable inputs (level 3 on the fair value hierarchy), which results in estimation uncertainty. The debt interest rate conversion feature, if triggered, reduces the stated interest rate of the debenture to 1.5 % upon federal regulation of CBD in the United States.
For the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, a loss of $ 865 and a gain of $ 228 , respectively, related to the debt interest rate conversion feature was recognized as a change in fair value of financial instruments in the consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the debt interest rate conversion feature represents a financial asset of $ 211 and $ 1,023 , respectively, within Derivative and other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
To determine the value of the debt interest rate conversion feature, the Company utilizes a probability weighted income approach. This method calculates the present value of the reduced interest accrued on the debenture assuming the feature is triggered at a certain time, after accounting for the probability of federal regulation of CBD. This approach is useful when ultimate valuation is based on an unverifiable outcome, such as an event outside of the Company's influence. The following additional assumptions are used in the model:

Debt Conversion Option
Per the debenture, the Lender has the option, at any time before the Maturity Date at no additional consideration, for all or any part of the principal amount to be converted into fully paid and non-assessable common shares. The Company assessed this conversion feature and determined that the debt conversion option is an embedded derivative that requires bifurcation and is classified as a financial liability within the consolidated balance sheet. The debt conversion option is initially measured at fair value and is revalued at each reporting period using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on Level 2 observable inputs. The assumptions used by the Company are the

quoted price of the Company's common shares in an active market, risk-free interest rate, volatility and expected life, and assumes no dividends. Volatility is based on the actual historical market activity of the Company's shares. The expected life is based on the remaining contractual term of the debenture and the risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury Securities with a maturity equivalent to the expected maturity of the debenture.
For the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, a loss of $ 4,352 and a gain of $ 2,265 , respectively, related to the debt conversion option was recognized as a change in fair value of financial instruments in the consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the debt conversion option represents a financial liability of $ 5,187 and $ 786 , respectively, within derivative and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Stanley Brothers USA Holdings Purchase Option
In 2021, the Company entered into an option purchase agreement (the "SBH Purchase Option") with Stanley Brothers USA Holdings, Inc. ("Stanley Brothers USA"). The SBH Purchase Option was purchased for total consideration of $ 8,000 and had a term of five years (extendable for an additional two years upon payment of additional consideration). The SBH Purchase Option provides the Company the option to acquire all or substantially all the shares of Stanley Brothers USA, at a purchase price to be determined at the time of exercise of the SBH Purchase Option. The Company is not obligated to exercise the SBH Purchase Option and as such the unexercised option expired as of February 26, 2026. As part of the SBH Purchase Option agreement, Stanley Brothers USA issued the Company a warrant exercisable to purchase 10 % of the outstanding Stanley Brothers USA shares and convertible securities that are considered in-the-money, subject to certain conditions and exclusions. The warrant is exercisable at the Company's election for a nominal exercise price in the event the Company elects not to acquire all or substantially all shares of Stanley Brothers USA and expires 60 days after the expiration of the option.
The Company elected the fair value option in accordance with ASC 825-10 guidance to record its SBH Purchase Option. The SBH Purchase Option is classified as a financial asset and is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date, with changes to fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for the period. The use of assumptions for the fair value determination includes a high degree of subjectivity and judgment using unobservable inputs (level 3 on the fair value hierarchy), which results in estimation uncertainty. Changes in assumptions that reasonably could have been different at the reporting date may result in a higher or lower determination of fair value. For the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, a loss of $ 52 and $ 1,678 , respectively, related to the SBH Purchase Option was recognized as change in fair value of financial instruments in the statements of operations. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the SBH Purchase Option represents a financial asset of $ 0 and $ 52 , respectively, within Derivative and other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
The Monte Carlo valuation model considers multiple revenue and EBITDA outcomes for Stanley Brothers USA and other probabilities in assigning a fair value. As of December 31, 2025, the value of the SBH Purchase Option was nil as the exercising of the option was considered highly unlikely. The Company chose to not exercise the unexercised option as of the expiration date of February 26, 2026. As

MLB Promotion Rights Agreement
On October 11, 2022, the Company entered into a Promotional Rights Agreement (the "MLB Promotional Rights Agreement") with MLB Advanced Media L.P., on its own behalf and on behalf of Major League Baseball Properties, Inc., the Office of the Commissioner of Baseball, The MLB Network, LLC and the Major League Baseball Clubs (collectively, the "MLB"), pursuant to which the Company entered into a strategic partnership with MLB to promote the Company’s NSF Certified for Sport ® product line. On February 5, 2024, the Company and MLB entered into the First Amendment to the Promotional Rights Agreement ("First Amendment"). The First Amendment extended the agreement through December 31, 2027, with an aggregate rights fee of $ 23.0 million for the remainder of the term. On May 13, 2025, the Company and MLB entered into a letter agreement (the "PRA Letter Agreement") terminating the MLB Promotional Rights Agreement and waiving the Company's obligation to pay the remaining aggregate rights fee of $ 18 million for the remainder of the term of the MLB Promotional Rights Agreement.
As consideration under the MLB Promotional Rights Agreement, the Company was committed to pay a combination of cash over the license period, along with upfront non-cash consideration in the form of equity, as well as contingent consideration in the form of contingent payments based on revenue. The consideration was as follows: 4 % of the Company’s fully diluted outstanding common shares; $ 31.5 million in cash consideration from 2022 through 2027, paid in accordance with the payment schedule below; 10 % royalty on the Company’s gross revenue from the sale of MLB branded products, after cumulative gross sales of all such branded products exceed $ 18.0 million.
The PRA Letter Agreement terminated the MLB Promotional Rights Agreement. As a result of the termination, the license and media rights assets as well as the current and non-current payable previously recorded on the consolidated balance sheets were written off. This write-off resulted in the recognition of a gain of $ 2,326 , which is included in Other income (expense), net within the consolidated statements of operations. The gain reflects the net impact of the derecognition of related obligation exceeding the carrying value of the associated assets.
As of December 31, 2024, the carrying value of the licensed properties was $ 11,691 recorded as a license and media rights asset within the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2024, the carrying value of the media rights was $ 3,000 recorded as a prepaid asset and a license and media rights asset within the consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognized $ 4,897 in amortization expense related to

8. DEBT
Convertible Debenture
On November 2022, the Company entered into the Subscription Agreement with BT DE Investments, Inc., providing for the issuance of a $ 56.8 million (C$ 75.3 million) convertible debenture. The debenture was denominated in Canadian Dollars ("CAD" or "C$"). The debenture is convertible into 19.9 % ownership of the Company’s Common Shares at a conversion price of C$ 2.00 per Common Share of the Company on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"). The debenture will accrue interest at a stated annualized rate of 5 % until such time that there is federal regulation permitting the use of CBD as an ingredient in food products and dietary supplements in the United States. Following federal regulation of CBD, the stated annualized rate of interest shall be reduced to 1.5 %. Interest is accrued annually and payable on the maturity date or date of earlier conversion. The maturity date for the debenture is November 14, 2029.
The following is a summary of the Company's convertible debenture as of December 31, 2025:

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is a party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. The ultimate aggregate amount of monetary liability or financial impact with respect to these matters is subject to many uncertainties and is therefore not predictable with assurance. As of December 31, 2025 there are no pending litigation that could have, individually and in aggregate, a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
10. LEASES
The Company has lease arrangements related to office space, warehouse and production space, and land to facilitate agricultural operations. The leases have remaining lease terms of less than 0.09 to 9.2 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 5 years. Generally, the lease agreements do not include options to terminate the lease.
The weighted average remaining lease term was 8.8 years for operating leases as of December 31, 2025. The weighted average discount rate was 5.8 % for operating leases as of December 31, 2025.
The components of lease cost, including variable lease costs primarily consisting of common area maintenance charges and real estate taxes, for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

11. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s share capital consists of one class of issued and outstanding shares: Common Shares. The Company is also authorized to issue preferred shares issuable in series. To date, no shares of preferred shares have been issued or are outstanding.
Common Shares
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company was authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares, which have nil par value.
Dividend Rights – Holders of common shares are entitled to receive dividends out of the assets available for the payment of dividends at such times and in such amount and form as the Board of Directors may determine from time to time.

Voting Rights – Holders of common shares are entitled to receive notice of and to attend and vote at all meetings of Shareholders of the Company except a meeting at which only the holders of another class or series of shares is entitled to vote. Each common share shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote at each such meeting.

12. LOSS PER SHARE
The Company computes loss per share of common shares. Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares together with the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common shares had been issued, unless anti-dilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and dilutive net loss per share attributable to Common Shareholders:

As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, potentially dilutive securities include stock options, restricted share units, and convertible debenture conversion. When the Company recognizes a net loss from continuing operations, all potentially dilutive shares are anti-dilutive and are consequently excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share. The potentially dilutive awards outstanding for each year are presented in the table below:

Convertible debenture conversion
The Company's debenture is convertible into 19.9 % ownership of the Company’s common shares at a conversion price of C$ 2.00 per common share of the Company. The Company can settle the convertible debenture in shares. If the convertible debenture in diluted EPS is anti-dilutive, or if the conversion value of the debenture does not exceed its conversion price for a reporting period, then the shares underlying the notes will not be reflected in the Company’s calculation of diluted EPS. For the year ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the price of the Company’s shares did not exceed the conversion price and therefore there was no impact to potential common share diluted EPS during those periods. Conversely, income available to common stockholders will be impacted by interest expense of $ 9,057 and amortization of debt issuance costs of $ 5,445 related to the debenture.

CHARLOTTE’S WEB HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share, per share, per unit, and number of years)
On March 27, 2026, the Company announced that they have entered into an agreement to complete a transaction with BAT, which will result in the issuance of approximately 110 million of Charlotte's Web's common shares to BAT. Refer to Note 17 for additional details.
Additionally, the Company evaluated the calculation for diluted EPS for the non-contingent conversion feature. Non-contingent features are considered at the option of the Lender at any time before maturity. The Company noted that only the non-contingent conversion feature requires further analysis for diluted EPS as there are no contingencies under the Subscription Agreement and common shares will be issued on conversion. The Company evaluated that the potential adjustments to the income available to common stockholders will include the after-tax amount of interest and other consequential changes in income or expense that would result from the assumed conversion, if any. The potential adjustment to the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding is based on the additional common shares resulting from the assumed conversion. The Company will consider the conversion feature only if it will have dilutive impact, not anti-dilutive.
13. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Share Incentive Plans
2015 Plan
On December 31, 2015, the Company adopted the Stanley Brothers, Inc. 2015 Stock Option Plan (the "2015 Plan"), which provides for grants of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options to employees (including officers), consultants, and directors.

The realization of deferred income tax assets may be dependent on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient income in future years in the associated jurisdiction to which the deferred tax assets relate. The Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and recent financial performance. Based on the review of all positive and negative evidence, including a three-year cumulative pre-tax loss, the Company continues to believe its deferred tax assets are more likely to not be realized and, as such, a full valuation allowance is recorded against net deferred taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s valuation allowance increased by $ 4,583 and $ 6,525 , respectively, primarily related to the incremental net operating losses and an increase to the inventory provision.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company has U.S. federal, US state, and Canadian net operating losses ("NOL") of approximately $ 299,974 , $ 251,063 , and $ 11,542 respectively. The entire U.S. federal NOLs are post-2017 NOL and therefore can be carried forward indefinitely and the US state NOLs will begin to expire in 2032. The Canada NOLs will begin to expire in 2041. For the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company also has a research and development credit carryforward of $ 2,718 and $ 2,404 , respectively , which begin to expire in 2042 .
Tax laws impose restrictions on the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and research and development credit carryforwards in the event of a change in ownership of the Company as defined by Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and 383. The Company may have experienced ownership changes in the past that impact the availability of its net operating losses and tax credits. Should there be additional ownership changes in the future, the Company's ability to utilize existing carryforwards could be substantially restricted.
Net income tax payments after the prospective adoption of ASU 2023-09, as described in Note 2, consisted of the following:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share, per share, per unit, and number of years)
The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is probable that the tax position will be sustained based on its technical merits. The Company measures and records the tax benefits from such a position based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company’s estimated liabilities related to these matters are adjusted in the period in which the uncertain tax position is effectively settled, the statute of limitations for examination expires or when additional information becomes available. The Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits requires the use of assumptions and significant judgment to estimate the exposures associated with the Company's various filing positions. Although the Company believes that the judgments and estimates made are reasonable, actual results could differ and resulting adjustments could materially affect the Company's effective income tax rate and income tax provision. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties on taxes, if any, as income tax expense.
If recognized, no ne of the uncertain tax positions would affect the effective tax rate. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to the uncertain tax positions in the next twelve months.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal, various state jurisdictions, Canada, and Israel. In the normal course of business, it is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s tax years prior to 2022 are closed for federal income tax purposes. The Company’s 2019 tax year was opened for examination by the IRS during the second half of 2023. The statute of limitations on assessment with respect to the Company’s 2019 Form 1120 remains open until June 30, 2027, pursuant to an agreed-upon extension to the applicable statute of limitations. The Company’s 2022 through 2024 tax years remain open until the general statute of limitations lapses for each respective tax year.
15. OPERATING SEGMENT
Segment information
The Company has determined that it operates in a single operating and reportable segment, which is the production and sale of hemp-based CBD wellness products, which makes up substantially all of the revenue at this time. This is consistent with how the chief operating decision maker (the "CODM") allocates resources and assesses performance. The Company’s CODM is the executive operations committee that includes the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer, the chief operations officer and the chief people officer. The Company’s products have similar characteristics due to the same raw material ingredient (CBD and derivatives), similar nature of cultivation process, the type of customer and the regulatory nature of the industry.
The accounting policies of the production and sale of the hemp-based CBD wellness segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The CODM assesses performance for this segment and decides how to allocate resources based on pre-tax net income/(loss) that is reported on the consolidated statement of operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total assets. The CODM uses pre-tax net income/(loss) to evaluate income generated from segment assets in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the segment or into other parts of the Company. Pre-tax net income/(loss) are used to monitor budget versus actual results.
For the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the segment's revenues and pre-tax net loss were $ 49,897 and $ 49,667 ; and $ 29,809 and $ 29,807 , respectively. Further details of the segment's revenues are included in Note 2 under Revenue Recognition. The segment's expenses are included in the consolidated statements of operations; and the segment's reconciliation between pre-tax net income/(loss) are included in the results of operations measures section of this Form 10-K.
There are no differences between segment revenues, pre-tax net income/(loss) and the Company's consolidated revenues and pre-tax net income/(loss).
