Management Commentary

“Our first half of 2025 results, particularly in the second quarter, reflected strong execution across key metrics including biomass production scale, cost of production and operating cash flow yield,” said Kyle Kazan, Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO of Glass House. “In the second half of 2025, our results were impacted by events outside of our control, and actions taken to mitigate the impacts of these and to ensure our long-term success. The resulting scaling back of new planting and production meaningfully impacted results in the second half of the year.”

“We have navigated these short-term hurdles that we faced in the second half of 2025 and we ended the year fully planted in each of our legacy greenhouses. Now, with the first 1/3 of Greenhouse 2 planted, our cultivation team has planted the most acreage in Glass House’s history. We also accelerated expansion plans with the remaining buildout of Greenhouse 2 and the light retrofit and buildout of Greenhouse 4, which will be our first commercial hemp endeavor.”

“In summary, 2025 was a year of great progress for our company. While we faced challenges, we rose to meet them. Because of that, we have built a stronger foundation for sustainable growth and profit expansion than existed before our setbacks. This will be reflected in results as we progress this year and we anticipate progressive revenue acceleration throughout the course of the year. We expect to achieve this before factoring in the potential benefit of any sales outside of California for our cannabis plants, something that we continue to believe is achievable in the near term, or before any contributions from hemp sales,” Mr. Kazan concluded.

Q4 2025 Financial Results Discussion

Revenues for Q4 2025 were $38.9 million, in-line with guidance of $37 million to $39 million and compared to $53.0 million in fourth quarter 2024 and $38.4 million in third quarter 2025. The decline is attributed to lower wholesale revenue due to reduced production.

The wholesale biomass segment revenue was $22.6 million, accounting for 58% of total revenue. Biomass production reached 159,131 pounds, exceeding guidance of 140,000 and 145,000 pounds and 4% lower year-over-year.

Q4 2025 retail revenue was $11.9 million, versus $12.3 million in the previous quarter and up 1% compared to $11.8 million the fourth quarter last year. Retail gross profit margin was 47% in the fourth quarter, compared to 50% in the third quarter.

Wholesale CPG revenues totaled $4.3 million, representing a 13% sequential decrease and 13% year-over-year decrease.

Consolidated gross profit for the fourth quarter was $13.2 million, compared to $22.8 million for the year-ago period and $11.8 million in Q3 2025. Gross profit margin was 34%, compared to 43% in the fourth quarter of 2024 and 31% in the third quarter of 2025.

Average selling price was $146 per pound, compared to $220 in the fourth quarter of 2024 as the Company is still operating amidst challenged California pricing conditions.

General and administrative expenses were $18.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $14.8 million last year and $15.9 million in the third quarter of 2025.

Sales and marketing expenses were $0.48 million, down from $0.64 million during the same period last year and down from $0.70 million in the prior quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA was negative $(3.3) million, compared to negative $(2.3) million in the third quarter of 2025 and $9.0 million versus the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA reflects the factors that impacted our gross margin performance as well as a modest increase in operating expenses.

Operating cash flow was negative $(3.7) million, compared to $8.2 million in the year-ago period and negative $(5.1) million in the third quarter of 2025.

At December 31, 2025, the Company had $23.4 million of cash and restricted cash, compared to $29.8 million at the start of the fourth quarter. The Company spent $2.4 million in capex in the fourth quarter, which was mostly for Phase III expansion at Camarillo.

Full year 2025 operating cash flow was $11.4 million, versus $28.4 million in 2024 due mainly to gross profit decline.

Full Year 2026 Outlook

The Company anticipates progressive revenue scaling during the course of 2026 with full year revenue to be between $235 and $245 million before factoring in the potential benefit of any sales outside of California for our cannabis plants or contributions from hemp sales.

Full year 2026 wholesale biomass production is forecasted to be approximately 1,000,000 pounds of biomass which is a 50% increase to 2025. Cost of production is anticipated to be approximately $100 per pound, down 10% from 2025 while the average selling price is expected to be in the mid $180 per pound level. The anticipated average selling price compares to $177 in 2025 as the Company expects improved quality and mix in production compared to last year, particularly in the second half of 2026.

Full year gross margin is projected to be roughly 48% this year and full year adjusted EBITDA to is projected to be in the high $40 million range. This will result in full year ending cash exceeding $50 million inclusive of approximately $20 million capex to complete the full retrofit of Greenhouse 2 including adding new high efficiency, low energy lighting and a capex light retrofit of Greenhouse 4 for the hemp production.

Financial results and analyses will be available on the Company’s website on the ‘Investors’ and ‘News & Events’ drop down menus (www.glasshousebrands.com) and SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca).
