Financial Performance:

Gross revenue increased to approximately $4 million (up 3.7% from Q1 FY25 at $3,852,505), alongside net revenue increase of 4.6% to $3.02 million. This was driven by sustained momentum across the company's portfolio of branded extract products, reflecting the Company's continued strategic emphasis on higher-margin activities, including consumer packaged goods (vapes, oils, and softgels).

Gross profit increased year-over-year to $1.29 million. The Company generated positive net income of $259,171 and positive adjusted EBITDA¹ of $349,961 for the quarter. This marks the Company's fifth consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA¹.

Q1 FY26 reflects continued progress toward sustainable profitability, demonstrating resilience following the temporary, late-2025 supply chain disruption in British Columbia.

Nextleaf generated positive operating cash flow of $348,609 during Q1 FY26, contributing to a strengthened cash position and improved working capital year over year. The Company continues to operate without secured debt.

Operational and Strategic Highlights:

In November 2025, Nextleaf announced the national launch of Yard Cannabis, a new recreational brand designed to serve adult-use consumers seeking high-potency extracts, premium inputs, and an improved consumption experience through next-generation hardware.

Yard expands the Company's house of brands and complements flagship brand Glacial Gold's established leadership in non-combustible formats for value-seeking wellness consumers. This launch strengthened the Company's portfolio depth across multiple consumer segments.

"Q1 FY26 reflects continued discipline across our operating model, from margin protection to capital efficiency," said Emma Andrews, CEO of Nextleaf Solutions. "We are building a consistently profitable platform with a strong balance sheet and scalable infrastructure. In a competitive market, execution remains our differentiator."

Q2 FY2026 Outlook:

Nextleaf enters the second quarter (January-March 2026) focused on:

• Advancing international export opportunities and relationships.
• Scaling the Company's branded product portfolio through increased distribution, and incremental product listings nationally.
• Biomass processing and bulk ingredient manufacturing: single strain, organically grown, sourced-in-BC inputs.
• ERP-driven digital integration and business intelligence optimization.
• Maintaining positive operating cash flow and disciplined capital allocation.

The Company remains committed to profitable growth and long-term shareholder value creation.
