Key Points

- Cannabis gross margin expanded by 900 basis points year-over-year to 51%, driven by favorable product mix, operational efficiencies, and lower production costs.
- International export sales grew 74% year-over-year and 43% sequentially, with the company holding four of the top 10 market share strains in Germany.
- Delta II expansion is on track, with the first half in production and the second half commencing September 1, expected to add 40 metric tons of annualized capacity by 2028.

- Netherlands operations ramping up with Cronogen facility now in production, positioning for significant growth in 2027.

- SG&A as a percentage of sales increased to 28% from 23% year-over-year, reflecting higher transfer pricing allocations and increased commercial and marketing expenses.
