Non-GAAP Financial Measures  

Our management uses financial measures that are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States , or GAAP, in addition to financial measures in accordance with GAAP to evaluate our operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, our reported financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our management uses adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our operating performance and trends and make planning decisions. Our management believes adjusted EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the items that we exclude. Accordingly, we believe that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.

The following table presents a reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, for each of the periods presented:

Cannabis sales in the US reached a record high in October, with retail transactions totaling approximately US$2.8 billion, according to data from LeafLink, a wholesale cannabis platform.

While sales saw a slight 2.1 percent dip compared to September, they were up 6.2 percent year-on-year. Total retail cannabis sales in 2024 are expected to hit US$32.6 billion, representing a 10.8 percent increase over the previous year.

LeafLink attributes much of this growth to new licenses in states such as New York, New Jersey and Ohio.

Australian Senate Rejects Greens' Bill to Legalise Cannabis

The Australian Greens announced on Wednesday, November 27, that the Legalising Cannabis Bill 2023 was defeated in a 13 to 24 vote, preventing the federal legalisation of cannabis.

“The Labor and Coalition parties joined together to try and hold Australia back in the 1950s by blocking this desperately needed reform,” said Greens Senator for New South Wales David Shoebridge.

Shoebridge said on X that the parties “teamed up” to vote against legalizing cannabis in the Senate, “yet another example of the major parties working together to refuse any sort of progress.”

All 11 Greens Senators voted in favour of the Bill, as did Independent Senators Lidia Thorpe and Tammy Tyrrell.

Both houses of parliament in Victoria, Australia, have successfully passed the Roads and Road Safety Legislation Amendment Bill 2024, Cannabis Council Australia said in a recent newsletter.
