This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that we believe are, or may be considered to be, “forward-looking statements.” All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this document regarding the prospects of our industry or our prospects, plans, financial position or business strategy may constitute forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “foresee,” “project,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “forecast,” “continue” or “could” or the negative of these terms or variations of them or similar terms or expressions of similar meaning. Furthermore, forward-looking statements may be included in various filings that we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and in press releases or oral statements made by or with the approval of one of our authorized executive officers. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that these expectations will prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in these forward-looking statements. These known and unknown risks include, without limitation: cannabis remains illegal under U.S. federal law, and enforcement of cannabis laws could change; the Company may be subject to action by the U.S. federal government; state regulation of cannabis is uncertain; the Company may not be able to obtain or maintain necessary permits and authorizations; the Company may be subject to heightened scrutiny by Canadian regulatory authorities; the Company may face limitations on ownership of cannabis licenses; the Company may become subject to U.S. Food and Drug Administration or the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives regulation; cannabis businesses are subject to applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations and have restricted access to banking and other financial services; the Company may face difficulties acquiring additional financing; the Company lacks access to U.S. bankruptcy protections; the Company operates in a highly regulated sector and may not always succeed in complying fully with application regulatory requirements in all jurisdictions where the Company carries business; the Company faces intense competition; the Company faces competition from the illicit market as well as actual or purported Farm Bill compliant hemp products; ; the Company is dependent upon the popularity and consumer acceptance of its brand portfolio; the Company has limited trademark protection; cannabis businesses are subject to unfavorable tax treatment and may incur significant tax liability; the Company is subject to proceeds of crime statutes; the Company faces exposure to fraudulent or illegal activity; the Company faces risks due to industry immaturity or limited comparable, competitive or established industry best practices; the Company faces risks related to its products; the Company’s business is subject to the risks inherent in agricultural operations; the Company may adversely be impacted by rising or volatile energy costs and availability; the Company faces risks related to its information technology systems and potential cyber-attacks and security breaches; the Company relies on third-party software providers for numerous capabilities that it depends upon to operate, and a disruption of one or more systems could adversely affect the business; the Company relies on the expertise of the Company management team and other employees experienced in the cannabis industry, and the loss of key personnel could negatively affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations; the Company faces an inherent risk of product liability or similar claims; the Company’s products may be subject to product recalls; the Company may face unfavorable publicity or consumer perception; the Company’s voting control is concentrated; the Company’s capital structure and voting control may cause unpredictability; sales of substantial amounts of Subordinate Voting Shares by our shareholders in the public market may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Subordinate Voting Shares and could affect the Company’s business and financial condition and the results of operations are included in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and elsewhere in the Company’s filings with the SEC, which are available on the SEC’s website or at https://investors.gtigrows.com.

1. Overview and Basis of Presentation
(a) Description of Business
Green Thumb Industries Inc. (“Green Thumb,” the “Company,” “we” or “us”), a national cannabis consumer packaged goods company and retailer, promotes well-being through the power of cannabis while being committed to community and sustainable, profitable growth. Green Thumb owns, manufactures, and distributes a portfolio of cannabis consumer packaged goods brands including &Shine, Beboe, Dogwalkers, Doctor Solomon’s, Good Green, incredibles, and RYTHM, to third-party retail stores across the United States as well as to Green Thumb owned retail locations. The Company also owns and operates retail cannabis stores that include a national chain named RISE, which sell our products and third-party products. As of March 31, 2024, Green Thumb has revenue in fourteen markets (California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Virginia), employs approximately 4,500 people and serves millions of patients and customers annually.
The Company’s registered office is located at 250 Howe Street, 20th Floor, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3R8. The Company’s U.S. headquarters are at 325 W. Huron St., Suite 700, Chicago, IL 60654.
(b) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Green Thumb and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and, accordingly, certain information, footnotes and disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been condensed or omitted in accordance with SEC rules and regulations. The financial data presented herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”). In the opinion of management, the financial data presented includes all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified between line items to conform to the current period presentation. Results of interim periods should not be considered indicative of the results for the full year. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include estimates and assumptions of management that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
(c) Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in Note 2 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2023 Form 10-K.
(d) Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated using the treasury stock method, by dividing the net earnings attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each of the periods presented. Contingently issuable shares (including shares held in escrow) are not considered outstanding common shares and consequently are not included in the earnings per share calculation. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the treasury stock method by adjusting the weighted average number of common shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential common shares. The Company has three categories of potentially dilutive common share equivalents: restricted stock units, stock options and warrants. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had 9,416,251 options, 3,564,633 restricted stock units and 3,734,555 warrants outstanding. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had 9,600,384 options, 1,094,979 restricted stock units and 3,734,555 warrants outstanding.

1. Overview and Basis of Presentation (Continued)
(d) Earnings per Share (Continued)
In order to determine diluted earnings per share, it is assumed that any proceeds from the vesting of dilutive unvested restricted stock units, or exercise of unvested stock options and warrants would be used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. Under the treasury stock method, the diluted earnings per share calculation excludes any potential conversion of stock options and convertible debt that would increase earnings per share or decrease loss per share. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the computation of diluted earnings per share included 1,940,169 options, 1,740,592 restricted stock units, and 121,372 warrants. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the computation of diluted earnings per share included 207,430 options, 80,409 restricted stock units. There were no dilutive warrants during the three months ended March 31, 2023. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the weighted average number of anti-dilutive stock options excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share were 577,304 and 2,909,924, respectively.
(e) Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The Company reviews recently issued accounting standards on a quarterly basis and has determined there are no standards yet to be adopted which are relevant to the business for disclosure.

6. LEASES
(a) Operating Leases
The Company has operating leases for its retail stores, processing and cultivation facilities and corporate office spaces. Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date.
All real estate leases are recorded on the balance sheet. Equipment and other non-real estate leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Lease agreements for some locations provide for rent escalations and renewal options. Certain real estate leases require payment for fixed and variable non-lease components, such as taxes, insurance and maintenance. The Company accounts for each real estate lease and the related non-lease components together as a single component.
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company must consider whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset. Certain arrangements require significant judgment to determine if an asset is specified in the contract and if the Company directs how and for what purpose the asset is used during the term of the contract. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded operating lease expense of $12,251 thousand and $12,222 thousand, respectively.

9. SHARE CAPITAL
Common shares, which include the Company’s Subordinate Voting Shares, Multiple Voting Shares and Super Voting Shares, are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of common shares are recognized as a deduction from equity. The proceeds from the exercise of stock options or warrants together with amounts previously recorded in reserves over the applicable vesting periods are recorded as share capital. Income tax relating to transaction costs of an equity transaction is accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes.
(a) Authorized
The Company has the following classes of share capital, with each class having no par value:
(i) Subordinate Voting Shares
The holders of the Subordinate Voting Shares are entitled to receive dividends which may be declared from time to time and are entitled to one vote per share at meetings of the Company’s shareholders. All Subordinate Voting Shares are ranked equally with regard to the Company’s residual assets. The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of no par value Subordinate Voting Shares. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the shareholders of the Company converted 10,848 Multiple Voting Shares into 1,084,800 Subordinate Voting Shares.
(ii) Multiple Voting Shares
Each Multiple Voting Share is entitled to 100 votes per share at shareholder meetings of the Company and is exchangeable for 100 Subordinate Voting Shares. The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Multiple Voting Shares. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the shareholders of the Company converted 10,000 Super Voting Shares into 10,000 Multiple Voting Shares and 10,848 Multiple Voting Shares into 1,084,800 Subordinate Voting Shares.
(iii) Super Voting Shares
Each Super Voting Share is entitled to 1,000 votes per share at shareholder meetings of the Company and is exchangeable for 100 Subordinate Voting Shares or one Multiple Voting Share. The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Super Voting Shares. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the shareholders of the Company converted 10,000 Super Voting Shares into 10,000 Multiple Voting Shares.

9. SHARE CAPITAL (Continued)
(i) Distribution of Contingent Consideration
Dharma Pharmaceuticals, LLC
In connection with the Company's 2021 acquisition of Dharma Pharmaceuticals, LLC (“Dharma”), the purchase agreement included contingent consideration of up to $65,000 thousand in Subordinate Voting Shares of Green Thumb, dependent upon 1) the successful opening of five retail stores in the Virginia area within the first three years following the signing of the agreement (“Retail Stores Milestone”) and 2) the legal sale of adult-use cannabis in a retail store on or before January 1, 2025 (the “Recreational Sales Milestone”). The Retail Stores Milestone was fully achieved prior to expiration and settled in previous periods.
On February 9, 2024, the Company and the former owners of Dharma agreed to amend the conditions of the Recreational Sales Milestone (the “Amended Agreement”). Under the Amended Agreement, the former owners waived their right to the Recreational Sales Milestone in exchange for the delivery of 1,250,000 Subordinate Voting Shares. On February 15, 2024, the Company recorded a gain of $15,991 thousand, representing the settlement of the Recreational Sales Milestone and distributed the shares to the former owners of Dharma, which had a fair market value of $17,259 thousand, which was based on the value of the shares as traded on the Canadian Securities Exchange on the date of distribution. The gain was recorded within sales general and administrative expenses on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations.
(ii) Repurchase of Subordinate Voting Shares
On September 5, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 5%, or 10,486,951 of its Subordinate Voting Shares over a 12-month period at an aggregate cost of up to $50,000 thousand. On February 28, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors authorized an increase in its share repurchase program of $50,000 thousand. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 1,067,000 Subordinate Voting Shares at an average price of $12.71 per share, bringing the total remaining repurchase ability to approximately $46,600 thousand.
(c) Stock-Based Compensation
The Company operates equity settled stock-based remuneration plans for its eligible directors, officers, employees and consultants. All goods and services received in exchange for the grant of any stock-based payments are measured at their fair value unless the fair value cannot be estimated reliably. If the Company cannot estimate reliably the fair value of the goods and services received, the Company measures their value indirectly by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. For transactions with employees and others providing similar services, the Company measures the fair value of the services by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. Equity settled stock-based payments under stock-based payment plans are ultimately recognized as an expense in profit or loss with a corresponding credit to equity.
In June 2018, the Company established the Green Thumb Industries Inc. 2018 Stock and Incentive Plan, which was amended by Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 thereto (as amended, the “Plan”). The maximum number of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) and options outstanding under the Plan at any time shall not exceed 10% of the then issued and outstanding shares on an as-converted basis.
The Company recognizes compensation expense for RSUs and options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. Non-market vesting conditions are included in the assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. Estimates are subsequently revised if there is any indication that the number of options expected to vest differs from the previous estimate. Any cumulative adjustment prior to vesting is recognized in the current period with no adjustment to prior periods for expense previously recognized.
Option and RSU awards generally vest over three years, and options typically have a life of five to ten years. Option grants under the Plan are determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors with the option price set at no less than 100% of the fair market value of a share on the date of grant.

10. INCOME TAX EXPENSE
The following table summarizes the Company’s income tax expense and effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:
|
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|
| 2024 |
| 2023 |
Income before Income Taxes | $ | 63,497 | $ | 43,041 |
Income Tax Expense |
| 32,149 |
| 33,636 |
Effective Tax Rate |
| 50.6% |
| 78.1% |
The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were based on the Company’s forecasted annualized effective tax rates and were adjusted for discrete items that occurred within the periods presented.
Due to its cannabis operations, the Company is subject to the limitations of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”) Section 280E under which the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to sales of product. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC Section 280E. Therefore, the effective tax rate can be highly variable and may not necessarily correlate with pre-tax income and provides for effective tax rates that are well in excess of statutory tax rates.
Taxes paid during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were $75 thousand and $159 thousand, respectively.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is subject to lawsuits, investigations and other claims related to employment, commercial and other matters that arise out of operations in the normal course of business. Periodically, the Company reviews the status of each significant matter and assesses the potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable, and the amount can be reliably estimated, such amount is recognized in other liabilities.
Contingent liabilities are measured at management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period and are discounted to present value where the effect is material. The Company performs evaluations to identify contingent liabilities for contracts. Contingent consideration is measured upon acquisition and is estimated using probability weighting of potential payouts. Subsequent changes in the estimated contingent consideration from the final purchase price allocation are recognized in the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations.
(a) Contingencies
The Company’s operations are subject to a variety of local and state regulations. Failure to comply with one or more of those regulations could result in fines, sanctions, restrictions on its operations, or losses of permits that could result in the Company ceasing operations in that specific state or local jurisdiction. The Company may be subject to regulatory fines, penalties, or restrictions in the future as cannabis and other regulations continue to evolve and are subject to differing interpretations.
(b) Claims and Litigation
From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of the Company’s consolidated operations. There are also no proceedings in which any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the Company’s interest.
(c) Construction Commitments
As of March 31, 2024, the Company held approximately $4,000 thousand of open construction commitments to contractors on work being performed.

13. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities that are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers all related factors of the asset by market participants in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and credit risk.
The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels, and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
(a) Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, investments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable, warrant liability, and contingent consideration payable.
It was not practicable to estimate the fair value of the Company's long-term notes payable, which consist of charitable contributions, private placement debt and mortgage notes, since there were no quoted market prices or active trading markets. The carrying amount of notes payable at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $309,937 thousand and $308,523 thousand, respectively, which includes $3,036 thousand and $2,996 thousand, respectively, of short-term debt due within one year.
Financial instruments recorded at fair value are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs to fair value measurements. The fair values of the Company’s financial instruments associated with each of the three levels of the hierarchy are:

14. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company operates in two segments: the cultivation, production and sale of cannabis products to retail stores (“Consumer Packaged Goods”) and retailing of cannabis to patients and consumers (“Retail”). The Company does not allocate operating expenses to these business units, nor does it allocate specific assets. Additionally, the Chief Operating Decision Maker does not review total assets or net income (loss) by segments; therefore, such information is not presented below.
The below table presents revenues by type for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

The Company’s assets are aggregated into two reportable segments (Retail and Consumer Packaged Goods). For the purposes of testing goodwill, Green Thumb has identified two reporting units which align with our reportable segments (Retail and Consumer Packaged Goods). All revenues are derived from customers domiciled in the United States and all assets are located in the United States.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
This management discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) of the financial condition and results of operations of Green Thumb Industries Inc. (the “Company” or “Green Thumb”) is for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. It is supplemental to, and should be read in conjunction with, the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2024 and the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 29, 2024 (the “2023 Form 10-K”) and the accompanying notes for each respective period. The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Financial information presented in this MD&A is presented in United States dollars (“$” or “US$”), unless otherwise indicated.
This MD&A contains certain “forward-looking statements” and certain “forward-looking information” as defined under applicable United States securities laws. Please refer to the discussion of forward-looking statements and information set out under the heading “Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” identified in the ‘‘Risks and Uncertainties’’ section of this MD&A and in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors of the 2023 Form 10-K.” As a result of many factors, the Company’s actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements and information.
OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY

As of March 31, 2024, Green Thumb has operations in fourteen U.S. markets, employs approximately 4,500 people and serves millions of patients and customers annually.
Green Thumb’s core business is manufacturing, distributing and marketing a portfolio of cannabis consumer packaged goods brands (which we refer to as our Consumer Packaged Goods business), including &Shine, Beboe, Dogwalkers, Doctor Solomon’s, Good Green, incredibles and RYTHM. The Company distributes and markets these products primarily to third-party licensed retail cannabis stores across the United States as well as to Green Thumb-owned retail stores (which we refer to as our Retail business).
The Company’s Consumer Packaged Goods portfolio is primarily generated from plant material that Green Thumb grows and processes itself, which we use to produce our consumer packaged goods in twenty manufacturing facilities. This portfolio consists of cannabis product categories, including flower, pre-rolls, concentrates, vape, capsules, tinctures, edibles, topicals, as well as other cannabis-related products across a range of stock keeping units ("SKUs") (none of which product categories are individually material to the Company).
Green Thumb owns and operates a national cannabis retail chain called RISE Dispensaries that provides relationship-centric retail experiences aimed to deliver a superior level of customer service through high-engagement consumer interaction, a consultative, transparent and education-forward selling approach and a consistently available assortment of cannabis products. In addition, Green Thumb owns Retail stores under other names, primarily where naming is subject to licensing or similar restrictions. The income from Green Thumb’s Retail business is primarily derived from the sale of cannabis-related products, which includes the sale of Green Thumb produced products as well as those produced by third parties, with an immaterial (under 10%) portion of this income resulting from the sale of other merchandise (such as t-shirts and accessories for cannabis use). The RISE Dispensaries currently are located in fourteen of the states in which we operate. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had 92 open and operating Retail locations. The Company’s new store opening plans will remain fluid depending on market conditions, obtaining local licensing, construction and other permissions and subject to the Company’s capital allocation plans.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023
Revenues, net of Discounts
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $275,806 thousand, up 11% from $248,536 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Key performance drivers for the period included (i) the legalization of adult-use sales in Maryland, which began on July 1, 2023, and (ii) revenue generated from new retail stores.
The Company generated revenue from 92 Retail stores during the quarter compared to 77 in the same quarter of the prior year. Retail revenues made up 74% of total revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to 76% during the three months ended March 31, 2023. From March 31, 2023 until March 31, 2024, the Company opened eight new Retail stores in Florida, two new Retail stores in Pennsylvania, two new Retail stores in Virginia, two new Retail stores in Nevada, one new Retail store in Minnesota, and one new Retail store in New York. The Company also disposed of one Retail store in Massachusetts.
Consumer Packaged Goods revenues made up 26% of total revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to 24% during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
28
Cost of Goods Sold, net
Cost of goods sold are derived from retail purchases made by the Company from its third-party licensed producers operating within our state markets and costs related to the internal cultivation and production of cannabis. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $130,877 thousand, up 6% from $123,815 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023, driven by increased demand stemming from the launch of adult-use sales in Maryland, as well as increased sales volume at the Company's newly opened Retail locations.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $144,929 thousand, representing a gross margin on the sale of branded cannabis flower and processed and packaged products including concentrates, edibles, topicals and other cannabis products, of 53%. This is compared to gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2023 of $124,721 thousand, or a 50% gross margin. The increase in gross profit (dollars) was directly attributable to the revenue increase as described above. The increase in gross margin (percent) was primarily driven by an increase in Retail sales of Green Thumb-produced products.
Total Expenses
Total expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $74,258 thousand, or 27% of revenues, net of discounts, a decrease of $6,261 thousand compared to the same period in the prior year. Total expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $80,519 thousand or 32% of revenues, net of discounts. The decrease in total expenses was attributable to a favorable fair value adjustment associated with the Company's contingent consideration arrangements recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2024, partially offset by increased expenses associated with the launch of adult-use sales in Maryland, as well as increased expenses associated with the opening of new Retail stores as described above.
Total Other Income (Expense)
Total other income (expense) for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $(7,174) thousand, a change of $6,013 thousand, primarily due to a decrease in the amount of interest capitalized on construction projects and unfavorable fair value adjustments on the Company's warrant liability during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Income Before Provision for Income Taxes and Non-Controlling Interest
Income before provision for income taxes and non-controlling interest for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $63,497 thousand, an increase of $20,456 thousand compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.
As presented under the heading “Non-GAAP Measures” below, after adjusting for non-cash equity incentive compensation of $6,490 thousand and $6,239 thousand in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and other nonoperating expenses (income), of $(14,388) thousand and $2,292 thousand in three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, adjusted earnings before interest, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) was $90,548 thousand and $76,234 thousand, respectively.
Provision for Income Taxes
Income tax expense is recognized based on the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at year-end. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, federal and state income tax expense totaled $32,149 thousand compared to expense of $33,636 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 Compared with the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023
Revenues, net of discounts, for the Retail segment were $203,778 thousand, an increase of $14,900 thousand or 8%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in Retail revenues, net of discounts, was primarily driven by: (i) the legalization of adult-use sales in Maryland, which began on July 1, 2023, and (ii) revenue generated from new retail stores as described above.
Revenues, net of discounts, for the Consumer Packaged Goods Segment were $149,912 thousand, an increase of $24,295 thousand or 19%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in Consumer Packaged Goods revenues, net of discounts, was primarily driven by the legalization of adult-use sales in Maryland, which began on July 1, 2023, as well as increased production associated with the completion of various construction projects in 2023.
Intersegment eliminations associated with the Consumer Packaged Goods Segment were $(77,884) thousand, an increase of $11,925 thousand or 18% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in intersegment eliminations was driven by increased intercompany sales, primarily to Company-owned Retail stores in Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Consumer Packaged Goods revenues, net of intersegment eliminations, made up 26% of total revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to 24% during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Due to the vertically integrated nature of the business, the Company reviews its revenue at the Retail and Consumer Packaged Goods level while reviewing its operating results on a consolidated basis.
Drivers of Results of Operations
Revenue
The Company derives its revenue from two revenue streams: a Consumer Packaged Goods business in which it manufactures, sells and distributes its portfolio of Consumer Packaged Goods brands including Beboe, Dogwalkers, Dr. Solomon’s, Good Green, incredibles, and RYTHM, primarily to third-party customers; and a Retail business in which it sells finished goods sourced primarily from third-party cannabis manufacturers in addition to the Company’s own Consumer Packaged Goods products direct to the end consumer in its Retail stores, as well as direct-to-consumer delivery where applicable by state law.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, revenue was contributed from Consumer Packaged Goods and Retail sales across California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Virginia.
Gross Profit
Gross profit is revenue less cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold includes the costs directly attributable to product sales and includes amounts paid for finished goods, such as flower, edibles, and concentrates, as well as packaging and other supplies, fees for services and processing, and allocated overhead which includes allocations of rent, utilities and related costs. Cannabis costs are affected by various state regulations that limit the sourcing and procurement of cannabis product, which may create fluctuations in gross profit over comparative periods as the regulatory environment changes. Gross margin measures our gross profit as a percentage of revenue.
30
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company continued to be focused on creating sustainable, profitable growth of the Company’s business within its current markets while considering strategic acquisition and partnership opportunities.
Total Expenses
Total expenses other than the cost of goods sold consist of selling costs to support customer relationships and marketing and branding activities. It also includes a significant investment in the corporate infrastructure required to support the Company’s ongoing business.
Retail selling costs generally correlate to revenue. As new locations begin operations, these locations generally experience higher selling costs as a percentage of revenue compared to more established locations, which experience a more constant rate of selling costs. As a percentage of sales, the Company expects selling costs to remain constant in the more established locations and increase in the newer locations as business continues to grow.
General and administrative expenses also include costs incurred at the Company’s corporate offices, primarily related to back office personnel costs, including salaries, incentive compensation, benefits, stock-based compensation and other professional service costs, and fair value adjustments on the Company's contingent consideration arrangements. The Company expects to continue to invest considerably in this area to support the business by attracting and retaining top-tier talent. Furthermore, the Company anticipates an increase in stock-based compensation expenses related to recruiting and hiring talent, along with legal and professional fees associated with being a publicly traded company in Canada and registered with the SEC.
Provision for Income Taxes
The Company is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates and, consequently, income tax expense is a function of the allocation of taxable income by jurisdiction and the various activities that impact the timing of taxable events. As the Company operates in the federally illegal cannabis industry, it is subject to the limitations of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”) Section 280E, under which taxpayers are only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to sales of product. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC Section 280E and a higher effective tax rate than most industries. Therefore, the effective tax rate can be highly variable and may not necessarily correlate to pre-tax income or loss.
Non-GAAP Measures
EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures and do not have standardized definitions under GAAP. The following information provides reconciliations of the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures, presented herein to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company has provided the non-GAAP financial measures, which are not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP, as supplemental information and in addition to the financial measures that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. These supplemental non-GAAP financial measures are presented because management has evaluated the financial results both including and excluding the adjusted items and believe that the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures presented provide additional perspective and insights when analyzing the core operating performance of the business. These supplemental non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or as an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the GAAP financial measures presented.

Liquidity, Financing Activities During the Period, and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023 the Company had total current liabilities of $175,054 thousand and $126,050 thousand, respectively, and cash and cash equivalents of $223,937 thousand and $161,634 thousand, respectively, to meet its current obligations. The Company had working capital of $244,640 thousand as of March 31, 2024, an increase of $27,928 thousand as compared to December 31, 2023. This increase in working capital was primarily driven by a reduction in capital expenditures associated with construction projects which were completed during 2023, partially offset by increased spending associated with the Company's share repurchase program.
The Company generates cash from its operations and deploys its capital reserves to acquire and develop assets capable of producing additional revenues and earnings over both the immediate and long term. Capital reserves are primarily being utilized for capital expenditures, facility improvements, strategic investment opportunities, product development and marketing, as well as customer, supplier, and investor and industry relations.
The Company takes a cautious approach in allocating its capital to maximize its returns while ensuring appropriate liquidity. Given the current uncertainty of the future economic environment, the Company has taken additional measures in monitoring and deploying its capital to minimize the negative impact on its current operations and expansion plans.

ITEM 3. QUANTITAVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes to our market risk disclosures as set forth in Part II Item 7A of our 2023 Form 10-K.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company's management carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2024.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the first quarter of 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Control Systems
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, will be or have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
