Fourth Quarter and Full Year Ended 2023 Results

Fourth quarter 2023 revenue of $345 million, representing an increase of 4% quarter-over-quarter.

Fourth quarter 2023 adjusted EBITDA(1) of $83 million, representing 24% of revenue, a 490 basis point improvement year-over-year.

Full Year 2023 cash flow from continuing operations of $91 million.

NEW YORK, March 6, 2024 – Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. (TSX: CURA) (OTCQX: CURLF) (“Curaleaf” or the “Company”), a leading international provider of consumer products in cannabis, today reported its financial and operating results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023. All financial information is reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and is provided in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

Boris Jordan, Executive Chairman of Curaleaf, stated, “I’m pleased to report that the work we’ve done over the past several quarters has paid off; Curaleaf ended the year strong and is positioned extremely well for the future. In the fourth quarter, we generated record revenue of $345 million. Adjusted gross margin of 46% improved by 80 basis points versus last quarter, and adjusted EBITDA was $83 million or 24% of sales. Our gross margin trajectory is improving faster than we initially anticipated as we have turned on idle capacity to meet increasing demand, and see our first quarter margins approaching 50%. For the year, revenue was $1.35 billion dollars, up 6% from 2022. Adjusted gross margin was 46%, while adjusted EBITDA margin was 23%. The global opportunities we’ve been building our business toward are unfolding rapidly, and 2024 will be Curaleaf’s catalyst year. Our global brand portfolio is second to none, and our amazing team members continue to deliver with energy and enthusiasm. I am happy to say that Curaleaf’s future has never been greener.”

Matt Darin, Chief Executive Officer of Curaleaf, commented,“Our fourth quarter results are a solid reflection of the discipline and rigor we have put into evolving our business and the committed work of our team members. It is thanks to all of them that we have leading market share and growth in key markets like Arizona, Florida, New York and Pennsylvania, a domestic wholesale business that grew 15% sequentially, and a U.S. retail business that grew 9% for the year, eclipsing the $1 billion mark for the first time. We’re excited about our portfolio of brands and innovative new products, as well as the potential of our retail footprint as adult use expands. We are encouraged by the momentum we see in our business because of the strategic changes we’ve made. There is no doubt that Curaleaf is poised for a solid 2024 and beyond.”

Non-GAAP Financial and Performance Measures

Curaleaf reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP and uses a number of financial measures and ratios when assessing its results and measuring overall performance. Some of these financial measures and ratios are not calculated in accordance with GAAP. Curaleaf refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures and ratios, such as “adjusted gross profit”, “adjusted gross margin”, “adjusted net loss from continuing operations attributable to Curaleaf Holdings, Inc.”, “adjusted net loss per share”, “adjusted EBITDA” and “adjusted EBITDA margin”. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. The Company defines “adjusted gross profit” as gross profit net of cost of goods sold and related other add-backs. “Adjusted gross margin” is defined by Curaleaf as adjusted gross profit divided by total revenues. “Adjusted net loss from continuing operations attributable to Curaleaf Holdings, Inc.” is defined by Curaleaf as net loss adjusted to remove the impact of discontinued operations and less other add-backs. “Adjusted net loss per share” is defined by Curaleaf as adjusted net loss from continuing operations attributable to Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. divided by the weighted average shares outstanding during the applicable period. “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined by Curaleaf as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization less share-based compensation expense and other add-backs related to business development, acquisition, financing and reorganization costs. “Adjusted EBITDA margin” is defined by Curaleaf as adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue. “Free cash flow from operations” is defined by Curaleaf as Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations less the Purchases of property, plant and equipment, net of proceeds from disposals (i.e. net capital expenditures). Curaleaf considers these measures to be an important indicator of the financial strength and performance of our business. We believe the adjusted results presented provide relevant and useful information for investors, because they clarify our actual operating performance, make it easier to compare our results with those of other companies and allow investors to review performance in the same way as our management. Since these measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, our reported GAAP financial results as indicators of our performance, and they may not be comparable to similarly named measures from other companies. The tables below provide reconciliations of Non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Adjusted gross profit from continuing operations net of add-backs for the fourth quarter was $160.4 million compared with $152.2 million in the third quarter of 2023. Adjusted gross profit margin from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 46%, an increase of 80 basis points compared with the third quarter of 2023. The quarter-over-quarter increase in adjusted gross profit margin was due to an improvement in non-absorption costs partially offset by price compression and discounting.
