EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Village Farms International, Inc. (“VFF”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “Village Farms”, “we” “us” or “our”) is a corporation existing under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). The Company’s principal operating subsidiaries are Village Farms Canada Limited Partnership (“VFCLP”), Village Farms L.P. (“VFLP”), Pure Sunfarms Corp. (“Pure Sunfarms” or “PSF”), Balanced Health Botanicals, LLC (“Balanced Health”), Rose LifeScience Inc. (“Rose LifeScience” or “Rose”), VF Clean Energy, Inc. (“VFCE”), and Leli Holland B. V. (“Leli” or “Leli Holland”).
The Company’s vision is to be recognized as an international leader in consumer products developed from plants, whereby we produce and market value-added products that are consistently preferred by consumers. To do so, we leverage decades of cultivation expertise, investment, and experience in fresh produce into branded and wholesale cannabis products within markets with legally permissible opportunities.
In Canada, we converted two produce facilities to grow cannabis for the Canadian legal adult use (recreational) market. Our focus for our Canadian Cannabis segment is to produce high quality cannabis, leveraging our low-cost production to provide preferred products at an attractive price that address the preferred consumer segments in the market. This market positioning, combined with our cultivation expertise, has enabled us to evolve into the top-five best-selling producer nationally and one of the few Canadian licensed producers with consistently strong operating results.
Additionally, through organic growth, exports and/or acquisitions, we have a strategy to participate in other international markets where cannabis attains legal status. In September 2021, our Canadian Cannabis business began exporting cannabis products to Australia for that country’s medical market. In March 2022, our Canadian Cannabis business received European Union Good Manufacturing Practice (“EU GMP”) certification for Pure Sunfarms’ 1.1 million square foot Delta 3 cannabis facility located in Delta, British Columbia (“B.C.”) which permits Pure Sunfarms to export EU GMP-certified medical cannabis to importers and distributors in international markets that require EU GMP certification. In late 2022, Pure Sunfarms commenced exports to Israel, in 2023 Pure Sunfarms began exporting cannabis products to Germany and the United Kingdom for the medical markets in those countries, and in 2025 it began exporting cannabis products to New Zealand. As a result of the typically higher margins in international medical markets, we expect international expansion to enhance our profitability while expanding our brand and experience into emerging legal cannabis markets.
During the fourth quarter of 2024, we completed our acquisition of Leli Holland. Through our ownership of Leli Holland, we hold one of ten licenses to cultivate and distribute cannabis legally in the Netherlands under that country’s Controlled Cannabis Supply Chain Experiment, with sales beginning in the first quarter of 2025.
In the U.S., Balanced Health is our industry-leading cannabinoid business, extending our portfolio into cannabidiol (“CBD”) and hemp-derived consumer products.
We also operate a large, well-established, produce business (primarily tomatoes) under the Village Farms Fresh (“VF Fresh”) brand which sells to food distribution companies and mass retail stores. We own and operate produce cultivation assets in Texas and Delta, B.C. and source produce from our growing partners, in Mexico and Canada.
Our intention is to use our assets, expertise and experience (across cannabis, hemp, CBD and produce ecosystems) to participate in the U.S. Cannabis market subject to compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state laws and applicable stock exchange rules.

U.S. Cannabis
• Balanced Health Botanicals' CBDistillery announced that its full range of hemp-derived gummies are now manufactured in-house at its GMP-certified facility south of Denver, Colorado. Internalization of manufacturing is expected to enable greater innovation, operational flexibility, and inventory control in the future; and,
• The Company's application for a Texas medicinal marijuana license remains pending review by the Department of Public Services. If awarded, the Company plans to work with its listing authority to structure an acceptable ownership structure and comply with all applicable regulatory requirements.
VF Fresh (Produce)
• Subsequent to quarter end, announced a transformative transaction to privatize certain assets and operations of its Fresh Produce segment. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will privatize Produce segment operations, including its Marfa II and Fort Davis greenhouses, and all of its produce distribution centers, through a series of asset and lease transfers, for total consideration of $40 million and a 37.9% equity ownership interest in Vanguard Food LP, a new, private-equity-backed joint venture with private investment firms including Sweat Equities.
• Vanguard is expected to be backstopped by additional capital commitments to execute a M&A roll-up strategy of other produce brands and assets in North America. The transaction is expected to close during the second quarter of 2025.
• Village Farms will retain ownership of all its Canadian greenhouse assets, and Texas-based Marfa I and Monahans greenhouse assets for potential future cannabis market optionality.

As a result of the Extension, the Company now has until October 13, 2025 to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement; and
• Subsequent to quarter end, the Company amended its loan with Farm Credit Canada (“FCC Loan”) to among other things, replace the fixed charge ratio covenant with a more favorable liquidity coverage ratio covenant. This amendment was a result of the Company’s considerable expansion and growth of Village Farms’ business since entering into the original credit agreement in 2013, as well a recognition of the Company’s stronger strategic focus on its growing cannabis business.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized earnings measure and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of the Company because it excludes non-recurring and other items that do not reflect our business performance. Adjusted EBITDA includes the Company’s 70% interest in Rose LifeScience through March 31, 2024, 80% interest in Rose LifeScience beginning on April 1, 2024, 85% interest in Leli through September 22, 2024, and our 100% interest in Leli beginning on September 23, 2024.
We caution that our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 may not be indicative of our future performance.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
Sales

The decrease of $1,003, or 1%, was primarily due to a decrease in Canadian Cannabis sales of $2,609 resulting from an unfavorable impact of exchange rate fluctuations, and a decrease in U.S. Cannabis sales of $633, partially offset by an increase in VF Fresh sales of $1,327. For additional information, refer to “Segmented Results of Operations” below.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $65,734 compared with $62,564 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase of $3,170, or 5%, was primarily due to an increase in VF Fresh cost of sales of $8,919, partially offset by a decrease in both Canadian Cannabis cost of sales of $5,576 and U.S. Cannabis cost of sales of $531. For additional information, refer to “Segmented Results of Operations” below.

For additional information, refer to “Segmented Results of Operations” below.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $706 compared with $917 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease of $211, or 23%, was due to a decrease in the overall borrowing base and a decrease in the Company's interest rates on its various debt instruments.

Loss before taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was ($6,132) compared with ($2,359) for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase of $3,773 was primarily due to the lower gross margins in VF Fresh, partially offset by the improved margins on Canadian Cannabis.

21
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $81 compared with $3,591 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The change was mainly driven by decreased profitability of VF Fresh offset by improved margins on Canadian Cannabis.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized earnings measure and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of the Company because it excludes non-recurring and other items that do not reflect our business performance. Adjusted EBITDA includes the Company’s 70% interest in Rose LifeScience through March 31, 2024, 80% interest in Rose LifeScience beginning on April 1, 2024, 85% interest in Leli through September 22, 2024, and our 100% interest in Leli beginning on September 23, 2024.
CANADIAN CANNABIS SEGMENT RESULTS
The Canadian Cannabis segment consists of Pure Sunfarms and Rose LifeScience. The comparative analysis for Canadian Cannabis is based on the consolidated results of Pure Sunfarms and our interest in Rose LifeScience for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Beginning on April 1, 2024, our interest in Rose LifeScience increased from 70% to 80%, which is reflected in the results presented below.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
Sales
Canadian Cannabis net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $34,837 compared with $37,446 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease of $2,609, or 7%, was primarily driven by unfavorable exchange rate fluctuations of
22
approximately $2,258 and a decrease in net branded sales, reflecting a planned shift away from value-based product offerings, which was partially offset by an increase in international sales of 259%, primarily driven by continued strength in export volumes to Germany.
Canadian Cannabis continues to pay a burdensome excise tax on its branded sales (sales to provincial distributors). For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company incurred excise duties of $13,937 (C$20,016), or 38% of gross branded sales, compared with $19,703 (C$26,565), or 40% of gross branded sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease of $5,766 (C$6,259), or 29%, was due to a decrease in kilograms sold in the branded channel and the impact of exchange rate fluctuations. The Canadian excise duty is our single largest cost of participating in the branded adult-use market in Canada.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, 65% of net sales were generated from branded flower, pre-rolls and cannabis derivative products compared with 77% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Non-branded, international, and other sales accounted for 35% of Canadian Cannabis net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared with 23% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
The net average selling price of branded flower and pre-roll formats increased in 2025 compared to 2024. Excluding pre-roll formats, the average net selling price of branded flower increased by 11% in 2025 due to a lower ratio of sales for our value brand Fraser Valley Weed Co. The net average selling price of bulk non-branded flower increased by 33% and bulk trim increased by 43% in 2025, largely due to an increase in the market price, as well as a reduced need to move aged flower inventory compared to 2024.
The following table presents sales by Canadian Cannabis revenue stream, together with the impact of the excise tax, in U.S. dollars and Canadian dollars, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

Cost of Sales
Canadian Cannabis cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $22,362 compared with $27,938 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease of $5,576, or 20%, was primarily due to a decrease in volume (kilograms) packaged and sold of our branded and non-branded products and the impact of exchange rate fluctuations.
Gross Profit
Canadian Cannabis gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $12,475, a 31% increase compared to $9,508 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Canadian Cannabis gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 36% compared with 25% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in gross margin was due to higher sales volume of international and non-brand flower, as well as lower sales of value brands within the branded sales category.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Canadian Cannabis selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $8,762, or 25%, of sales compared with $7,704, or 21%, of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase of $1,058 was primarily due to higher commercial and marketing expenses and incremental integration costs.
Net Income
Canadian Cannabis net income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $3,032 compared with net income of $847 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in net income was primarily due to the improved margins, partially offset by an increase in the tax provision expense of $562 and an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.
23
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA for Canadian Cannabis for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $6,698 compared with $4,073 for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
Sales
U.S. Cannabis net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $3,904 compared with $4,537 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease of $633, or 14%, was primarily due to new restrictions on CBD sales in an additional eight states beginning July 1, 2024 and lower direct-to-consumer sales resulting from the proliferation of unregulated hemp-derived products on the market. All U.S. Cannabis sales were generated in the United States, with gross sales composed of 94% e-commerce sales and 6% retail sales.
Cost of Sales
U.S. Cannabis cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $1,311 compared with $1,842 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease of $531, or 29%, was primarily due to cost efficiencies from the internalization of our gummy manufacturing and lower sales.
Gross Profit
U.S Cannabis gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased $102, or 4%, to $2,593, or a 66% gross margin, compared with $2,695, or a 59% gross margin, for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
U.S. Cannabis selling general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $2,535 compared with $3,406 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease of $871, or 26%, is due to more efficient marketing and brand spending and contract renegotiation.
Net Income (Loss)
U.S. Cannabis net income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $58 compared with net loss of ($711) for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase of $769 was primarily due to the lower selling, general, and administrative expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA
U.S. Cannabis adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $114 compared with ($615) for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The improvement of $729 was primarily due to the lower selling, general, and administrative expenses. For additional information, refer to the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net (loss) income in “Non-GAAP Measures—Reconciliation of Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA”.
NETHERLANDS CANNABIS SEGMENT RESULTS
The Netherlands Cannabis segment consists of Leli Holland. Leli Holland commenced sales during the first quarter of 2025. Leli Holland was not operational during the comparable quarter of 2024 and, as a result, comparative financial performance to the prior-year quarter is not meaningful.

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $486.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $285.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

PRODUCE SEGMENT RESULTS – VF FRESH
The produce segment, VF Fresh, consists of VFLP and VFCLP. VF Fresh’s comparative analysis are based on the consolidated results of VFLP and VFCLP for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
Sales
VF Fresh sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $37,421 compared with $36,094 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase of $1,327, or 4%, was primarily due to a 39% increase in volume from supply partners. This was partially offset by a lower average selling price due to weaker market prices.
The average selling price for all produce sold during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2024 was as follows: tomatoes changed (15%), peppers changed (34%), cucumbers changed (9%), and mini cucumbers changed (1%).
Cost of Sales
VF Fresh cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased by $8,919, or 27%, to $41,703 compared with $32,784 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase from Company-owned greenhouses of $4,306, an increase from supply partners of $3,565, and an increase in freight expense of $1,048. The increase in VF Fresh-owned greenhouses cost of sales was due to a negative impact to the overall crop resulting from dust storms that occurred in March 2025, the increase in supply partner costs were due to higher spot price contract commitments, and the increased freight costs were due to the increase in product volume.
Gross (Loss) Profit
VF Fresh gross loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was ($4,282) compared with a gross profit of $3,310 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was (11%) compared with 9% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decreases in both gross profit and gross margin percentage were due to the increase in cost of sales at the Company-owned greenhouses and lower margins on supply partner volumes, whereas during the prior year, the decreases in both gross profit and gross margin percentage were due to unfavorable market prices.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
VF Fresh selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased by $182, or 7%, to $2,875 (8% of sales) compared with $2,693 (7% of sales) for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Net (Loss) Income
VF Fresh net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was ($7,757) compared with a net income of $114 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease of $7,871 was primarily due to a lower gross margin.
Adjusted EBITDA
VF Fresh Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was ($5,122) compared with $2,028 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease of $7,150 in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a lower gross margin for the reasons described above. For additional information, refer to the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net (loss) income in “Non-GAAP Measures—Reconciliation of Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA”.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital Resources
At March 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents were $15,125 and working capital was $50,313, compared with cash and cash equivalents of $24,631 and working capital of $53,800 at December 31, 2024. We believe that our existing cash, cash generated from our operating activities and the availability under our Operating Loan and Pure Sunfarms Loans (each as defined below), will provide us with sufficient liquidity to meet our working capital needs, repayments of our long-term debt and future contractual obligations and fund our planned capital expenditures for the next 12 months. An additional potential source of liquidity is access to capital markets for additional equity or debt financing. We intend to use our cash on hand for daily operational funding requirements.

The Company is required to comply with financial covenants. At December 31, 2024, the Company was not in compliance with financial covenants related to the fixed charge coverage ratio under the FCC Term Loan (as defined below) and the PSF Term Loan (as defined below), for which the Company received waivers. The covenants were reinstated at the end of the first quarter for the PSF Term Loan and at the end of the fiscal year for the FCC Term Loan. On April 10, 2025, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “A&R Credit Agreement”) with FCC as the lender, which amended and restated the FCC Term Loan. Among other things, the A&R Credit Agreement replaced the current financial covenants with more favorable financial covenants . Under the Pure Sunfarms Secured Credit Facilities entered into on April 17, 2025, the Company is also required to maintain certain financial covenants. We can provide no assurance that we will be in compliance, or receive a waiver, for any non-compliance of the financial covenants. See “Risk Factors—Business and Operational Risk Factors—We are subject to restrictive covenants under our Credit Facilities” in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Accrued interest payable on the Credit Facilities and Pure Sunfarms Loans as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $353 and $271, respectively. These amounts are included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

In addition, Pure Sunfarms has a revolving line of credit (the “PSF Revolving Line of Credit”) with a Canadian chartered bank.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, cash used in operating activities were ($6,376) and ($50), respectively. The operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 consisted of ($4,209) in changes in non-cash working capital items and ($2,167) in changes before non-cash working capital items, while operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 consisted of ($3,290) in changes in non-cash working capital items and $3,240 in changes before non-cash working capital items. The reduction when comparing the change in before non-cash working capital items for 2025 with 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in VF Fresh gross margin partially offset by improvements in Canadian Cannabis gross margin in 2025 compared with 2024.
Investing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, cash used in investing activities were ($2,839) and ($1,876), respectively. The increase in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to capital expenditures made to support VF Fresh, Canadian Cannabis, and U.S. Cannabis operations.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments
We expect to meet our contractual obligations and commitments using our working capital and our other resources described under “Capital Resources” above. Other than with respect to our long-term debt described above, we currently do not have any material cash requirements in the near future.
Non-GAAP Measures
References in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis to “Adjusted EBITDA” are to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), as further adjusted to exclude foreign currency exchange gains and losses, share-based compensation, gains and losses on asset sales and the other adjustments set forth in the table below. In addition, we present below “Adjusted EBITDA – Constant Currency” which excludes the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. See “—Constant Currency” below. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA - Constant Currency are measures of operating performance that are not recognized under GAAP and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Therefore, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Investors are cautioned that our non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an alternative to net income or loss determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of our performance. Our non-GAAP measures are used as additional measures to evaluate the operating and financial performance of our segments. Management believes that our non-GAAP measures are important measures in evaluating the historical performance of the Company because it excludes non-recurring and other items that do not reflect our business performance.

Adjusted EBITDA – Constant Currency
To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have presented constant currency adjusted financial measures for sales, cost of sales, selling, general and administrative, other income (expense), operating (loss) income, loss from consolidated entities, net loss, and Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which are considered non-GAAP financial measures. We present constant currency information to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying operations performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. To present this information, current and comparative prior period income statement results in currencies other than U.S. dollars are converted into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates from the three month comparative period in 2024 rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the current period. All growth comparisons relate to the corresponding period in 2024. We have provided this non-GAAP financial information to aid investors in better understanding the performance of our segments without taking into account the effect of exchange rate fluctuations. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Quarterly Report should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The tables below set forth certain measures of consolidated results from continuing operations on a constant currency basis for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2024 on an as reported and constant currency basis (in thousands):

(1) Adjusted EBITDA - Constant Currency is not a recognized earnings measure and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA - Constant Currency may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA - Constant Currency is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of the Company because it excludes non-recurring and other items that do not reflect the underlying business performance of the Company.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
No accounting pronouncements recently issued or newly effective have had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are included in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
As described in Note 5, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements included in Part 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company considered qualitative factors in assessing for impairment indicators for the Company’s U.S. and Canadian Cannabis segments. As part of this assessment, the Company considered both external and internal factors, including overall financial performance and outlook. At March 31, 2025, the Company concluded that no impairment indicators existed as no events or circumstances occurred that would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value of the goodwill and intangible assets for its reporting units to be below their carrying amounts. At March 31, 2025, the carrying value of goodwill associated with our Cannabis – Canada segment was $42.4 million and the carrying value of intangible assets associated with our Cannabis – Canada segment was $20.9 million.
We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements, so we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Actual results could differ from the estimates we use in applying our critical accounting policies. We are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in materially different amounts being reported.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitati ve Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
As of March 31, 2025, our variable interest rate debt was primarily related to our Credit Facilities and Term Loans. Outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility and Term Loans bear interest at either the (a) Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or (b) Canadian Prime Rate, as defined in the agreement, plus an applicable margin. As of March 31, 2025, we had approximately $5,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding revolving loans under our Operating Loan with an interest rate of 8.0% and we had approximately $39,203 in aggregate principal amounts of our Term Loans with a weighted average interest rate of 7.8%. The current interest rates for outstanding revolving loans under our Credit Facility and Term Loans reflect basis point increases of approximately 0.7% over the comparable period in 2024.
Our interest expense is affected by the overall interest rate environment. Our variable rate interest debt subjects us to risk from increases in prevailing interest rates. This risk increases in the current inflationary environment, in which the Federal Reserve has increased interest rates, resulting in an increase in our variable interest rates and related interest expense. An additional 50 basis point increase in the applicable interest rates under our Credit Facility and Term Loan would have increased our interest expense by approximately $50 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and $59 for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
While we cannot predict our ability to refinance existing debt or the significance of the impact that interest rate movements will have on our existing debt, management evaluates our financial position on an ongoing basis.
Foreign Exchange Risk
As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Canadian/U.S. foreign exchange rate was C$1.00 = US$0.6966 and C$1.00 = US$0.7383, respectively. If all other variables remain constant, an increase of $0.10 in the Canadian dollar would have the following impact on the ending balances of certain statements of financial position items at March 31, 2025 and 2024 with the net foreign exchange gain or loss directly impacting net income (loss):

Our exposure to foreign exchange risk and the impact of foreign exchange rates are monitored by the Company’s management but generally the Company tries to match its sales (trade receivables) and vendor payments (trade payables) such that the net impact is not material.
Other than the interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk discussed above, there have been no material changes to our market risks from those disclosed in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
