Management Commentary

“We remain focused on executing our strategic initiatives to strengthen and expand our operating platform,” said Jim Cacioppo, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and Founder of Jushi. “During the third quarter, we bolstered our retail portfolio with the addition of two new stores in Virginia, moved closer to full-scale production at our grower-processor facilities in Pennsylvania and Virginia, and expanded our Jushi branded product portfolio across our operational vertically integrated markets. As we approach the end of the year, we expect to begin realizing the benefits of our efforts as we transform the business from substantially retail only and selling mostly third party product, to a company that is vertically integrated.”

Mr. Cacioppo continued, “As we look out to 2023 and beyond, we anticipate that our sales growth and improved profitability will be driven by the growth of the Virginia market, increased production and sell-through of high quality products produced at our grower-processor facilities, and our portfolio of assets focused in markets that are well positioned to take advantage of future state-level regulatory developments. I am incredibly pleased with the significant progress we have made year-to-date and remain highly confident in our market position as we close out the year."

Financial Results for the Third Quarter 20221

The following is a tabular summary and commentary of revenue, gross profit, net income (loss), and net income (loss) per share for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2022, June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021.

Net (loss) income$(52.9) - $(62.8)$12.1 $(52.9) - $(62.8)$39.7 

Revenue in Q3 2022 increased 34.9% to $72.8 million as compared to $54.0 million in the third quarter of 2021 (“Q3 2021”). The net increase was primarily driven by the Company’s acquisitions in Nevada and Massachusetts, new Beyond Hello™ store openings in Virginia, along with increased sales at existing stores in Virginia. On a sequential basis, revenue was essentially flat, driven by strong contributions from retail sales in Virginia and Massachusetts and increased wholesale sales in Nevada, offset by a decrease in retail sales in Pennsylvania and Nevada.

Gross profit in Q3 2022 was $27.7 million, or 38.1% of revenue, compared to $26.7 million, or 36.7% of revenue in Q2 2022. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by an increase in the sell-through rate of Jushi’s private branded products, partially offset by increased promotional activity of Jushi branded products in Pennsylvania.

Q3 2022 net loss, including an indefinite-lived asset impairment charge in the range of $35.0 to $49.0 million, was $52.9 to $62.8 million, compared to net income of $12.1 million in Q2 2022. Adjusted net loss2, excluding the after-tax impairment charge, was $28.1 million.

Adjusted EBITDA2 in Q3 2022 was $0.7 million, which was flat as compared to $0.7 million in Q2 2022, and a decrease of $5.5 million compared to $6.2 million in Q3 2021. Adjusted EBITDA benefited from increased sales of Jushi branded products, offset by infrastructure and headcount investments at the Company's grower processors that continue to have a transitional impact as the business scales, and slower-than-expected growth of wholesale operations.

JUSHI HOLDINGS INC.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted net loss, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

In addition to providing financial measurements based on GAAP, the Company provides additional financial metrics that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision making, for planning and forecasting purposes and to evaluate the Company’s financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are Adjusted net loss, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (each as defined below). Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect the Company’s ongoing business by excluding the effects of expenses that are not reflective of our operating business performance and allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the business. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies. As there are no standardized methods of calculating these non-GAAP measures, the Company’s methods may differ from those used by others, and accordingly, the use of these measures may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by others, thus limiting their usefulness. Accordingly, these non-GAAP measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted net loss, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are financial measures that are not defined under GAAP. Management defines Adjusted net loss as net loss excluding the after-tax indefinite-lived asset impairment charge. Management defines EBITDA as net income (loss), or “earnings,” before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Management defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before: (i) non-cash share-based compensation expense and other one-time charges; (ii) inventory-related adjustments; (iii) fair value changes in derivatives; (iv) asset impairments; (v) other (income)/expense items; (vi) transaction costs; and (vii) start-up costs. These financial measures are metrics that have been adjusted from the GAAP net income (loss) measure in an effort to provide readers with a normalized metric in making comparisons more meaningful across the cannabis industry, as well as to remove non-recurring, irregular and one-time items that may otherwise distort the GAAP net income measure. Other companies in the Corporation’s industry may calculate this measure differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
