Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification 270 Interim Reporting. The financial data presented herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 as filed on SEDAR+ and EDGAR. The Consolidated Balance Sheet for the year ended December 31, 2023 was derived from audited financial statements filed on SEDAR+ on March 15, 2024 and EDGAR on March 18, 2024. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial data presented includes all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other reporting period. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include estimates and assumptions of management that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Certain immaterial prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
(b)Basis of Measurement
The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, except for certain loans receivable, investments, and contingent considerations, which are recorded at fair value. Historical cost is generally based upon the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets acquired and the contractual obligation for liabilities incurred.
(c)Functional and Presentation Currency
The Company’s functional currency and that of the majority of its subsidiaries is the United States (“U.S.”) dollar. The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar (“USD”). Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are remeasured into the functional currency using period-end exchange rates. Gains and

losses from foreign currency transactions are included in Other income, net in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Assets and liabilities of foreign operations having a functional currency other than USD (e.g., Canadian dollar) are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date; revenues and expenses are translated at the monthly average rate of exchange during the period. Gains or losses on translation of foreign subsidiaries and net investments in foreign operations are included in Foreign currency translation differences, net of tax in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss and Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(d)Basis of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries with intercompany balances and transactions eliminated upon consolidation.

(c) Distribution to Non-controlling Interest Holders
Tax distributions are based off the tax rate determined by Cresco Labs Inc. (which is currently the highest U.S. individual income tax rates) applied to taxable income generated from the Cresco Labs, LLC partnership (i.e., not the whole Cresco group), which is the Company’s most significant distribution, and attributable to the NCI members. The Company has other tax and non-tax distributions that are calculated in accordance with each relevant operating agreement. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had an asset of $0.5 million for tax-related distributions to 2024 and 2023 unit holders of Cresco Labs, LLC and other minority interest holders and an accrual of $15.2 million for tax-related distributions to the 2023 and 2022 unit holders of Cresco Labs, LLC, respectively. The accrual for tax-related distributions is recorded based on the year-to-date tax liability attributable to non-controlling interests and the quarterly distributions paid are based on the prior year liability, in accordance with the IRS safe harbor rules, which resulted in an asset as of June 30, 2024. These distributions will reduce non-controlling interest upon payment.
In accordance with the underlying operating agreements, the Company declared and paid required distribution amounts to 2024 and 2023 unit holders of Cresco Labs, LLC and other minority holders of $14.4 million and $24.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Similarly, the Company declared and paid required tax distribution amounts to 2023 and 2022 unit holders of Cresco Labs, LLC and other minority interest holders of $18.5 million and $32.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.
(d) Changes in Ownership and Non-controlling Interests

NOTE 7. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION |
(a) Stock Options
The following table summarizes activity related to stock options outstanding as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2024:
(Stock options and intrinsic value in thousands) | Number of stock options outstanding | Weighted-average exercise price | Weighted-average remaining contractual life (years) | Aggregate intrinsic value | ||||||||||||||||||||||

The fair value of stock options granted under the Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following range of assumptions at the time of the grant:
June 30, 2024 | June 30, 2023 | |||||||||||||
Risk-free annual interest rate | 3.9% to 4.3% | 3.7% to 3.9% | ||||||||||||
Expected annual dividend yield | 0% | 0% | ||||||||||||
Expected stock price volatility | 80.3% to 84.3% | 77.0% to 80.2% | ||||||||||||
Expected life of stock options | 5.5 to 7.5 years | 5.0 to 7.0 years | ||||||||||||
Forfeiture rate | 9.9% to 34.0% | 7.2% to 28.0% | ||||||||||||
Fair value at grant date | $0.94 to $1.55 | $1.01 to $1.37 | ||||||||||||
Stock price at grant date | $1.35 to $2.05 | $1.50 to $1.83 | ||||||||||||
Exercise price range | $1.35 to $2.05 | $1.60 to $1.83 |
Volatility was estimated by using the average historical volatility of comparable companies from a representative group of direct and indirect peers of publicly traded companies, as the Company and the cannabis industry have minimal historical share price history available. An increase in volatility would result in an increase in fair value at grant date. The expected life, in years, represents the period of time that stock options issued are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on U.S. treasury bills with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the stock options. The forfeiture rate is estimated based on historical forfeitures experienced by the Company.
(b) Restricted Stock Units
The Company has an RSU program to provide employees an additional avenue to participate in the successes of the Company. The fair value of RSUs granted was determined by the fair value of the Company’s share price on the date of grant.

A portion of proceeds from the Senior Loan were used to retire the then existing term loan, with the remainder to fund capital expenditures and pursue other targeted growth initiatives within the U.S. cannabis sector.
The Senior Loan accrues interest at a rate of 9.5% per annum, payable in cash semi-annually and has a stated maturity of August 12, 2026. The Company’s effective interest rate for the Senior Loan is 11.0%.

The Senior Loan is secured by a guarantee from substantially all material subsidiaries of the Company, as well as by a security interest in certain assets of the Company and such material subsidiaries. The Senior Loan contains negative covenants which restrict the actions of the Company and its subsidiaries during the term of the loan, including restrictions on paying dividends, making investments and incurring additional indebtedness. The Company is also subject to compliance with affirmative covenants, some of which may require management to exercise judgment. In addition, the Company is required to maintain a minimum cash balance of $50.0 million.
On September 22, 2023, the Company amended the Senior Loan pursuant to which certain terms of the original Senior Loan were modified and consent was provided for the Company to enter into the Mortgage Loans further discussed below.
The Company may prepay in whole, or in part, the Senior Loan at any time prior to the stated maturity date, subject to certain conditions. Any prepayment of the outstanding principal amount may be subject to a prepayment premium as defined in the loan agreement, and would include all accrued and unpaid interest and fees. Interest expense is discussed in Note 17 “Interest Expense, Net.”
(b)Mortgage Loans
On September 26, 2023, JDRC Ellenville, LLC (“Ellenville”), an indirect subsidiary of the Company, entered into loan agreements to borrow an undiscounted principal amount of $25.3 million (the “Mortgage Loans”). Borrowings under the terms of the Mortgage Loans bear an initial interest rate of 8.4% per annum, which is equal to the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) Five Year Classic Regular Advance Rate, plus a 375 basis point spread. The Mortgage Loans have an effective interest rate of 10.2%. The Mortgage Loans are secured by real estate in Ellenville, New York and improvements thereto, and converts to a permanent term loan on the conversion date of November 1, 2028. The Mortgage Loans contains certain affirmative and negative covenants which restrict the actions of Ellenville during the term of the loan.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company had lease liabilities for real estate lease agreements in which the lessors have a minority interest in MedMar Inc. (“MedMar”). The lease liabilities were incurred in January 2019 and May 2020 and expire in 2027 through 2030.
The Company has liabilities for real estate leases and other financing agreements in which the lessor is Clear Heights Properties where Dominic Sergi, former MVS shareholder, is Chief Executive Officer. The liabilities were incurred by entering into operating leases, finance leases and other financing transactions with terms that will expire in 2030. The Company did not receive any tenant improvement allowance reimbursements during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company received $0.3 million in tenant improvement allowance reimbursements, while no reimbursements were received during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company expects to receive further reimbursements of $0.4 million within the next twelve months.

The Company had other financing liabilities controlled by a former MVS holder; however, as of March 31, 2024, that related party is no longer an MVS holder and thus, the Company did not have any financing liabilities with related parties. During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded interest expense of $0.1 million on those financing liabilities with related parties. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $1.4 million of financing liabilities with related parties.
NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
(a)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. With the exception of the item discussed below, as of June 30, 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 results of operations, financial positions or cash flows. There are also no proceedings in which any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates are an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the Company’s interest.
In February 2024, the Company received a demand letter on behalf of former and current Cresco employees. The demand letter alleges the Company violated certain laws around regulations related to employee compensation. The demand letter proposed, and the parties have agreed, to mediate the potential claims. As of June 30, 2024, the matter was still pending, and the Company cannot reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result from this matter.
(b)Contingencies
The Company’s operations are subject to a variety of federal, state, and local regulations. Failure to comply with one or more of those regulations could result in fines, restrictions on the Company’s operations, suspension or revocation of permits or licenses, or other disciplinary actions (collectively, “Disciplinary Actions”) that could adversely affect the Company’s financial position and results of operations. While management believes that the Company is in substantial compliance with state and local regulations as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and through the date of filing of these financial statements, these regulations continue to evolve and are subject to differing interpretations and enforcement. As a result, the Company may be subject to Disciplinary Actions in the future.
(c)Commitments
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had total commitments of $9.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively, related to material construction projects.
The Company also has employment agreements with key management personnel which include severance in the event of termination with additional equity and/or compensation benefits totaling approximately $3.4 million and $3.1 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

NOTE 14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT |
Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments are held at amortized cost (adjusted for impairments or expected credit losses (“ECLs”), as applicable) or fair value. The carrying values of financial instruments held at amortized cost approximate their fair values as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, due to their nature and relatively short maturity dates. Financial assets and liabilities with embedded derivative features are carried at fair value.
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 three levels of hierarchy are:
•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.
There have been no transfers into or out of Level 3 for the periods ended June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
The following tables summarize the Company’s financial instruments as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

As of June 30, 2024, the entire balance of the Kurvana loan was reclassified to loans receivable, long-term due to a change in the expected timing of payment. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company issued a $1.0 million short-term loan receivable to 280EZ LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (d/b/a Spark’d). The short-term loan receivable has a one-year term and interest accruing at 9.5% per annum, paid on a monthly basis. At the inception of the loan, an ECL determination was made. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company entered into an amended agreement with Spark’d, extending the term to three-years payable on June 16, 2027. As of June 30, 2024, the entire balance of the Spark’d loan was reclassified to loans receivable, long-term.

Pursuant to the Illinois Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act, the Company has issued $0.3 million in loans to an Illinois company which has secured a Craft Grower License to operate in the state and $1.0 million in loans to groups that have been identified by the state of Illinois as having the opportunity to receive Conditional Adult Use Dispensing Organization Licenses. One (1) $0.1 million loan related to the Craft Grower License matures on July 20, 2026. The remaining loans of $1.2 million mature on July 20, 2027. The loans are measured at amortized cost and bear no interest.
During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded losses on provision on long-term loans receivable of $0.1 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded losses on provision of $0.1 million.
(c)Investments
The Company currently has investments in three entities: 420 Capital Management, LLC (“420 Capital”), a cannabis investment company; IM Cannabis Corp. (“IMC”), a pharmaceutical manufacturer that specializes in cannabis and OLD PAL LLC (“Old Pal”), a cannabis operator/licensor. 420 Capital and Old Pal investments are held at fair value and are classified as equity securities without a readily determinable fair value. The IMC investment is classified as a marketable security with a readily determinable fair value. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company wrote off its remaining investment balance of $0.1 million in Lighthouse Strategies, LLC.
Financial Risk Management
The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument-related risks. The Board of Directors and Company management mitigate these risks by assessing, monitoring, and approving the Company’s risk management processes:
(a)Credit and Banking Risk
Credit risk is the risk of a potential loss to the Company if a customer or a third-party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The maximum credit exposure as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable and loans receivable. The Company does not have significant credit risk with respect to its growth in its key retail markets, as payment is typically due upon transferring the goods to the customer at our dispensaries, which currently accept only cash and debit cards. Additionally, the Company does not have significant credit risk with respect to its loan counterparties as the interest rate on the Senior Loan is not variable and therefore, is not materially impacted by interest rate increases enacted by the Federal Reserve. The interest rate on our Mortgage Loans is based on the FHLB Five Year Classic Regular Advance Rates which matures every five (5) years and does not pose a significant credit risk. Although all deposited cash is placed with U.S. financial institutions in good standing with regulatory authorities, changes in U.S. federal banking laws related to the deposit and holding of funds derived from activities related to the cannabis industry have passed the U.S. House of
31
Cresco Labs Inc. Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 |
Representatives but were not voted on within the U.S. Senate, and would need to be reintroduced by Congress. Given that current U.S. federal law provides that the production and possession of cannabis is illegal, there is a strong argument that banks cannot accept or deposit funds from businesses involved with the cannabis industry, leading to an increased risk of legal actions against the Company and forfeitures of the Company’s assets.
The Company’s aging of Accounts receivables as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was as follows:
($ in thousands) | June 30, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | ||||||||||||

Allowance for doubtful accounts | 8,190 | 7,964 | ||||||||||||
Total accounts receivable, net | $ | 54,215 | $ | 51,070 |
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had no customers that accounted for 10% or more of the gross accounts receivable balance. As of December 31, 2023, one customer accounted for $7.2 million or 12% of the Company’s gross accounts receivable balance.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded a recovery on provision of $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. An additional recovery on provision of $0.2 million was recorded compared to $0.2 million in bad debt expense related to invoice write-offs was recorded for the same three and six month periods. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded an ECL of $0.5 million and $2.8 million, respectively. An additional $1.1 million and $1.7 million in bad debt expense related to invoice write-offs was recorded for the same respective three and six month periods.
(b)Asset Forfeiture Risk
Because the cannabis industry remains illegal under U.S. federal law, any property owned by participants in the cannabis industry, which are either used in the course of conducting such business, or are the proceeds of such business, could be subject to seizure by law enforcement and subsequent civil asset forfeiture. Even if the owner of the property was never charged with a crime, the property in question could still be seized and subject to an administrative proceeding by which, with minimal due process, it could be subject to forfeiture.
(c)Liquidity Risk
The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company has generated positive cash flows from operations and implemented certain cost cutting measures, which are expected to improve cash from operations.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company primarily manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure by ensuring that it will have sufficient liquidity to settle obligations and liabilities when due. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had working capital (defined as current assets less current liabilities) of $136.5 million. The Company also expects to be able to continue to raise debt or equity based capital, or sell certain assets, if needed, to fund operations and the expansion of its business.

(d)Market Risk
(i)Currency Risk
The operating results and balance sheet of the Company are reported in USD. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are primarily in USD. However, from time to time, some of the Company’s financial transactions are denominated in currencies other than USD. The results of the Company’s operations are subject to currency transaction and translation risks. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded $0.1 million and $0.4 million in foreign currency exchange gains. The Company recorded $0.2 million and $0.3 million in foreign currency exchange losses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no hedging agreements in place with respect to foreign exchange rates. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time.
(ii) Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. An increase or decrease in the Company’s incremental borrowing rate would result in an associated increase or decrease in deferred considerations and interest expense, net. The Company’s Amended Senior Loan accrues interest at a rate of 9.5% per annum and has an effective interest rate of 11.0%. The Company’s Mortgage Loans accrue interest at a rate of 8.4% per annum and have an effective interest rate of 10.2%.
(iii)Price Risk
Price risk is the risk of variability in fair value due to movements in equity or market prices. The Company is subject to price risk related to deferred considerations that are valued based on the Company’s own stock price. An increase or decrease in stock price would result in an associated increase or decrease to Deferred considerations with a corresponding change to Other income, net.
33
Cresco Labs Inc. Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 |
(iv)Tax Risk
Tax risk is the risk of changes in the tax environment that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Currently, state-licensed marijuana businesses are assessed a comparatively high effective federal tax rate due to Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 280E, which bars businesses from deducting all expenses except their cost of goods sold when calculating federal tax liability. Any increase in tax levies resulting from additional tax measures may have a further adverse effect on the operations of the Company, while any decrease in such tax levies will be beneficial to future operations. See Note 18 “Provision for Income Taxes and Deferred Income Taxes” for the Company’s disclosure of uncertain tax positions.
(v)Regulatory Risk
Regulatory risk pertains to the risk that the Company’s business objectives are contingent, in part, upon the compliance of regulatory requirements. Due to the nature of the industry, the Company recognizes that regulatory requirements are more stringent and punitive in nature. Any delays in obtaining, or failure to obtain regulatory approvals can significantly delay operational and product development and can have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. The Company is cognizant of the advent of regulatory changes occurring in the cannabis industry on the city, state, and national levels. Although the regulatory outlook on the cannabis industry has been moving in a positive trend, any unforeseen regulatory changes could have a material adverse impact on the goals and operations of the Company’s business.
(vi) Economic Risk
The Company’s business, financial condition and operating results may be negatively impacted by challenging global economic conditions. A global economic slowdown would cause disruptions and extreme volatility in global financial markets, increased rates of default and bankruptcy and declining consumer and business confidence, which can lead to decreased levels of consumer spending. These macroeconomic developments could negatively impact the Company’s business, which depends on the general economic environment and levels of consumer spending. As a result, the Company may not be able to maintain its existing customers or attract new customers, or the Company may be forced to reduce the price of its products. The Company is unable to predict the likelihood of the occurrence, duration, or severity of such disruptions in the credit and financial markets or adverse global economic conditions. Any general or market-specific economic downturns could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
(vii) Inflation Risk
The Company has experienced increased inflationary pressures, including increased cultivation costs, distribution costs, and operating expenses, which have adversely impacted our operating results. The Company anticipates inflationary pressures to continue throughout 2024. The Company maintains strategies to mitigate the impact of higher raw material, energy, and commodity costs, which include cost reduction, sourcing and other actions, which may help to offset a portion of the adverse impact.

NOTE 18. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES AND DEFERRED INCOME TAXES |
During the second quarter of 2024, the Company recorded the following significant tax and tax-related items due to uncertain tax positions that its operations are not subject to IRC Section 280E and therefore intends to deduct such expenses with a related uncertain tax liability offsetting such deductions.
•The Company’s tax receivable agreement liability increased by $61.1 million recorded in Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which was materially driven by this change.
•The Company recorded $25.8 million in Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company is treated as a United States corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under IRC Section 7874 and is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its worldwide income. However, for Canadian tax purposes the Company, regardless of any application of IRC Section 7874, is treated as a Canadian resident company, as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada), for Canadian income tax purposes. As a result, the Company is subject to taxation both in Canada and the United States.
Additionally, the Company recorded an increase to its tax receivable agreement liability by $8.8 million due to normal course exchange activity and the impact of the state of Pennsylvania effectively decoupling from the application of IRC Section 280E beginning for taxable years commencing after December 31, 2023.
