First Quarter 2026 Company Highlights
Post Quarter-End Developments
Management Commentary
“Our first quarter results reflect continued progress in executing our strategy, with year-over-year revenue growth and meaningful margin expansion driven by improvements in operational performance and product quality,” said Jim Cacioppo, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Across our grower-processor network, operational efficiencies and increased production volumes are supporting both our retail and wholesale channels, contributing to stronger gross profit and a 460 basis point expansion in gross profit margin year-over-year. While pricing pressure persists across certain markets, our focus on efficiency, product quality, and disciplined execution continues to drive improved performance.”
Mr. Cacioppo continued, “Our retail business benefited from contributions from our retail expansion in Ohio and strong performance across our Virginia footprint, while wholesale revenue growth was driven by increased distribution, higher production capacity, and strong demand in key markets such as Massachusetts and Ohio. We also continued to advance our branded product strategy, with Jushi-branded products representing approximately 58% of retail sales in our vertical markets, reflecting ongoing mix shift into higher quality brands and continued portfolio expansion.”
Mr. Cacioppo concluded, “During the quarter, we strengthened our balance sheet through the successful refinancing of our 2024 Term Loan and Second Lien Notes, enhancing liquidity and extending maturities while preserving balance sheet flexibility. Additionally, the recent federal rescheduling of state-licensed medical marijuana to Schedule III represents a significant milestone for the industry, eliminating 280E tax constraints for medical operations and supporting a more favorable long-term operating environment. Looking ahead, we remain focused on operational excellence, optimizing our retail footprint, and making targeted, high-return investments across our facilities. At the same time, we continue to monitor regulatory developments across our markets, which we believe will play an important role in shaping future growth opportunities. With a strong operational foundation and improved financial flexibility, we are well positioned to drive sustainable growth and long-term value creation.”

Q1 2026 Compared to Q1 2025
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had approximately $42.3 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. During Q1 2026, the Company paid approximately $3.0 million in capital expenditures. As of March 31, 2026, the total gross debt subject to scheduled repayments was $222.1 million, excluding leases and property, plant, and equipment financing obligations. This amount also excludes $21.5 million notes payable to Sammartino, as the Company currently has no obligation to repay these notes.
Cash provided by operations was $8.6 million during Q1 2026, as compared to $7.5 million during Q1 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to an improvement in our operating results, partially offset by lower cash flows provided by working capital changes.
As of May 5, 2026, the Company’s issued and outstanding shares were 199,696,597 and its fully diluted shares outstanding were 305,626,935.

JUSHI HOLDINGS INC. UNAUDITED RECONCILIATION OF NET INCOME (LOSS) TO ADJUSTED EBITDA and CALCULATION OF ADJUSTED EBITDA MARGIN |
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
In addition to providing financial measurements based on GAAP, we provide additional financial metrics that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP. We use 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 our financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin (each as defined below). We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect our ongoing business by excluding the effects of expenses that are not reflective of our operating business performance and allow for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in our 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, our 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.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are financial measures that are not defined under GAAP. We define EBITDA as net income (loss), or “earnings”, before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before: (i) non-cash share-based compensation expense; (ii) inventory-related adjustments; (iii) fair value changes in derivatives; (iv) other (income)/expense items; (v) transaction costs; (vi) asset impairment; and (vii) gain/loss on debt extinguishment. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total revenue. 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 our industry may calculate this measure differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
