Management Commentary
“As I reflect on the past year, the Green Thumb team has been amazing. We delivered a strong fourth quarter, including record revenue of $278 million, record Adjusted EBITDA of $91 million, and full year 2023 cash flow from operations of $225 million—all the while investing over $200 million in capex to fuel future growth. We ended the year with a strong balance sheet including $162 million in cash, net of $65 million returned to shareholders via share buybacks and debt repurchases,” said Green Thumb Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ben Kovler. “In 2023, we completed our major capex program that spanned over the past couple of years. With this heavy investment lift behind us, our Board of Directors authorized Green Thumb’s first share repurchase program to return capital to our valued shareholders, and I am pleased to announce that this morning, our Board of Directors approved an additional $50 million for the program. As I look to the future in 2024 and beyond, I am very optimistic—we have industry-leading brands that are gaining momentum, the best team in the business, a loyal and growing customer base, and the financial flexibility to keep riding the Green Wave.”
Green Thumb President Anthony Georgiadis added, “We accomplished a great deal in 2023, thanks to all the hard work and dedication across our team. We opened fifteen new stores bringing our total to 91 dispensaries across fourteen states. We also built and expanded our cultivation and production facilities to meet increased demand for both medical and adult-use cannabis in several of our markets as well as developed new product types, such as Dogwalkers Show Dogs infused pre-rolls, that both engaged our customers and won market share. We look forward to carrying this strong momentum into 2024.”
Fourth Quarter and Full Year Financial Overview
Total revenue for the fourth quarter 2023 was $278.2 million, up 7.3% from the prior year period. For the full year 2023, total revenue increased 3.7% to $1.1 billion. Revenue growth in the fourth quarter was primarily driven by increased retail and consumer packaged goods sales in Maryland, reflecting the legalization of adult-use cannabis on July 1.
Overall retail revenue increased 5.5% versus the fourth quarter of 2022 and 3.7% for the full year 2023. Fourth quarter 2023 comparable sales (stores open at least 12 months) increased 1.3% versus the prior year on a base of 76 stores. Consumer Packaged Goods gross revenue increased 16.6% versus the fourth quarter of 2022 and 13.0% versus the full year 2023.
Gross profit for the fourth quarter 2023 was $142.7 million or 51.3% of revenue compared to $124.0 million or 47.8% of revenue for the fourth quarter 2022. For the full year, gross profit was $526.5 million or 49.9% of revenue versus $504.0 million or 49.5% in 2022. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by revenue growth in the quarter.
Total selling, general and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter were $92.3 million or 33.2% of revenue, compared to $80.0 million or 30.9% of revenue for the fourth quarter 2022. Total selling, general and administrative expenses for the full year 2023 were $341.9 million or 32.4% of revenue, an increase from $294.4 million or 28.9% of revenue in the prior year, primarily driven by non-cash credits associated with acquisition related obligations recorded in 2022.
Net income attributable to the Company for the fourth quarter 2023 was $3.2 million or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $51.2 million, or a loss of $0.22 per basic and diluted share in the prior year period. Net income for the full year 2023 was $36.3 million or $0.15 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net income of $12.0 million or $0.05 per basic and diluted share in the prior year.
In the fourth quarter 2023, EBITDA was $77.8 million or 28.0% of revenue versus ($19.6) million or (7.5%) of revenue for the comparable period. EBITDA for the full year 2023 was $285.4 million, or 27.1% of revenue, versus $217.7 million, or 21.4% of revenue for the comparable period. Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA, which excluded non-cash stock-based compensation of $7.4 million and other non-operating adjustments of $5.7 million, was $90.8 million or 32.6% of revenue as compared to $81.2 million or 31.3% of revenue for the fourth quarter 2022. Adjusted EBITDA for the full year was $325.8 million or 30.9% of revenue, compared to $311.5 million or 30.6% of revenue last year.

The actual number of shares purchased, timing of purchases and share price will depend upon market conditions at the time and securities law requirements. All shares acquired are returned to the treasury and cancelled.
During the fourth quarter, the Company repurchased $25 million of senior debt at 95% of their original value. As a result, the remaining principal balance was $225 million as of December 31, 2023.

FYI- Lawsuit Seeks Equal Treatment for Cannabis Businesses
1:48 pm ET October 26, 2023 (PR Newswire) Print
Federal criminalization of safe, regulated intrastate cannabis legal in 38 states is unconstitutional—and unfair to small businesses
Cannabis businesses are unconstitutionally prevented from getting small business loans, investments; unable to have normal banking relations; and subject to discriminatory taxes
A coalition of U.S. cannabis operators and investors working in state-legal medical and adult-use cannabis markets today filed a lawsuit against U.S. Attorney GeneralMerrick Garland. The coalition, represented by the law firm Boies Schiller Flexner, seeks to enjoin the federal government from enforcing the Controlled Substances Act in a manner that interferes with the intrastate cultivation, manufacture, possession, and distribution of cannabis, pursuant to state law. The lawsuit asserts that the federal government has no basis for enforcing the Controlled Substances Act against intrastate, state-regulated cannabis operations.
Boies Schiller Flexner and Lesser, Newman, Aleo & Nasser LLP filed the lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, Western Division, and will represent plaintiffs Gyasi Sellers (CEO and Founder of Treevit), Canna Provisions, and Wiseacre Farm, all of which are local independent operators in Massachusetts who have suffered significant harm and business challenges due to federal prohibition. Verano Holdings (OTCQX: VRNOF) is also named as a plaintiff, while foundational supporters of the suit include Ascend Wellness Holdings (OTCQX: AAWH), TerrAscend (TSX: TSND) and Green Thumb Industries (OTCQX: GTBIF), as well as Eminence Capital and Poseidon Investment Management.
The lawsuit seeks to confirm the rights of Massachusetts and other states to regulate cannabis within their borders, and to confirm the corresponding limits on the federal government's power to regulate commerce. The federal government's power to regulate commerce is based on the Interstate Commerce Clause of the Constitution. The law at issue in this suit, the Controlled Substances Act, exceeds that limited authority: it bars the production, distribution, and possession of marijuana, regardless of whether those activities cross state lines or, as in the case of Plaintiffs' cannabis businesses, are intrastate. This unjustified and unconstitutional prohibition on intrastate cannabis harms Plaintiffs and hinders the efforts of states to provide patients and adults with access to strictly-regulated and tested cannabis.
In 2005, the Supreme Court rejected a challenge to the Controlled Substance Act's cannabis prohibitions, but the facts today compel a different result. A critical factor in that decision, Gonzales v. Raich, was that the federal government intended to "eradicate" the market for cannabis nationwide. The Court concluded that the federal goal of eliminating commerce in cannabis, combined with the assumption in 2005 that intrastate marijuana could not be differentiated from interstate cannabis, justified the Controlled Substances Act's prohibitions on intrastate cannabis. Neither of those facts, however, are true today. In the eighteen years since Gonzales, Congress and the Executive Branch have abandoned any intent to "eradicate" cannabis, and numerous states have developed regulatory programs for legal marijuana that is not fungible with, and is readily distinguished from, illicit cannabis.
Today, 38 states including Washington D.C. have medical or adult-use cannabis programs with significant regulatory oversight. They require compliance with a multitude of stringent regulations aimed to protect patients, customers, and the public at large, including video surveillance and seed-to-sale tracking. The cannabis that is cultivated, processed, and distributed under these regulations is not fungible with, and is readily distinguishable from, illicit interstate cannabis. The regulated cannabis products in these states can be traced back all the way to the original batch of seeds from which they grew.
These changed facts compel a different result than was reached eighteen years ago in Gonzales. Absent the relief sought in this lawsuit, Plaintiffs and other state-regulated cannabis operators will continue to suffer severe harms. State-regulated cannabis businesses are deemed illegal under the CSA; their everyday activities are considered federal crimes. As a result, they are cut off from numerous federal programs and protections (including small business loans), they are subject to discriminatory tax penalties, and many organizations—including banks and credit card processors—refuse to do business with them, rather than risk being deemed conspirators, aiders and abettors, or money launderers.
The result is that many cannabis businesses are suffering, people are losing their jobs and individual wealth is being destroyed. In addition, social equity licensees harmed by the War on Drugs and who were supposed to have equal access to the industry do not have the same benefits as otherwise situated business owners to start a business and build their wealth.
"The federal criminalization of safe, regulated marijuana commerce in states where it is legal unfairly burdens legal operations and expands the production and sale of illegal marijuana that is unregulated, can be unsafe, and is likely to find its way to other states," said David Boies, Chairman, Boies Schiller Flexner LLP. "Federal criminalization also denies small, legal marijuana businesses of access to SBA loans, investors, benefits for their employees, and normal banking regulations (which among other things, forces them to rely on cash transactions with all of the dangers to them, and to the community, that result) - as well as burdening them with discriminatory taxes," said Mr. Boies. "Americans believe that cannabis should be legal and available subject to reasonable regulation by the states. 38 states have legalized some form of cannabis. The federal government lacks authority to prohibit intrastate cannabis commerce. Outdated precedents from decades ago no longer apply - the Supreme Court has since made clear that the federal government lacks the authority to regulate purely intrastate commerce; moreover, the facts on which those precedents are based are no longer true," said Mr. Boies.
"While reforms such as the SAFER Banking Act and rescheduling cannabis under the Controlled Substances Act would improve certain aspects of this broken and antiquated system, they will not solve the fundamental issue. The application of the CSA to lawful state-run cannabis business is an unconstitutional overreach on state sovereignty that has led to decades of harm, failed businesses, lost jobs, and unsafe working conditions," said Darren Weiss, President of Verano. "We are prepared to bring this case all the way to the Supreme Court in order to align federal law with how Congress has acted for years. We believe that the Supreme Court will adhere to the core value on which our country was founded and which is central to guaranteeing freedom: that the federal government's powers are limited."
"We want to be treated equally, on an even playing field with any other small business in Massachusetts," said Meg Sanders, CEO and co-founder of Canna Provisions, an award-winning independent craft cultivation, with two retail dispensaries in Western Massachusetts.
Plaintiffs are represented by David Boies, Jonathan D. Schiller, Matthew L. Schwartz, Joshua I. Schiller, and David Barillari of Boies Schiller Flexner LLP and Thomas Lesser and Michael Aleo of Lesser, Newman, Aleo & Nasser LLP.

Management Commentary
"In the second quarter, we delivered solid results of $252 million in revenue, up slightly from the first quarter, and GAAP net income of $13 million or $0.05 per basic and diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA was $76 million or 30% of revenue. Importantly, cash flow from operations was $18 million after paying $52 million of taxes this quarter. For the first six months of 2023, the Company had Adjusted EBITDA of $152 million and cash flow from operations of $93 million. Finally, we ended the second quarter with a strong balance sheet and $149 million in cash. As we move into the second half of the year, we are pleased with our overall position and our team's ability to execute on our long-term strategy," said Green Thumb Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ben Kovler.
Green Thumb President Anthony Georgiadis added, "While the cannabis industry continues to face challenges, at Green Thumb, we have been able to navigate a path to profitability and strong operating cash flow. Generating cash and carefully managing it has been core to our DNA since our founding. In addition, over the last 12 months we have made approximately $240 million in capital investments to position the Company for continued strong performance across our diversified portfolio of states."
Second Quarter 2023 Financial Overview
Total revenue for the second quarter 2023 was $252.4 million, down 1.0% from the prior year period. The decline in revenue was primarily driven by price compression. This was partially offset by continued growth in existing markets such as New Jersey, Virginia and Connecticut, as well as revenue generated from new stores opened in the current period.
Overall retail revenue decreased 2.4% versus the second quarter of 2022. Second quarter 2023 comparable sales (stores open at least 12 months) decreased 3.3% versus the prior year on a base of 76 stores. Consumer Packaged Goods gross revenue increased 12.8% versus the second quarter of 2022.
Gross profit for the second quarter 2023 was $125.3 million or 49.6% of revenue compared to $125.8 million or 49.5% of revenue year-over-year. The Company was able to offset price compression headwinds through operational efficiencies as well as an increase in Consumer Packaged Goods sales through Green Thumb-owned retail stores.
Total selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter were $84.2 million or 33.4% of revenue, compared to $63.5 million or 25.0% of revenue for the second quarter 2022. The increase in total expenses was primarily due to a one-time acquisition-related non-cash fair value credit in the prior year period. In addition, Green Thumb incurred increased expenses associated with opening new stores, as well as the preparation for the recent launch of adult-use cannabis sales in Maryland.
Net income attributable to the Company for the second quarter 2023 was $13.4 million or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net income of $24.4 million, or income of $0.11 per basic and $0.10 per diluted share in the prior year period.
In the second quarter 2023, EBITDA was $65.3 million or 25.9% of revenue versus $86.5 million or 34.0% of revenue for the comparable period. Adjusted EBITDA, which excluded non-cash stock-based compensation of $7.4 million and other non-operating adjustments of $3.1 million, was $75.8 million or 30.0% of revenue as compared to $78.7 million or 31.0% of revenue for the second quarter 2022.
For additional information on these non-GAAP financial measures, see below under "Non-GAAP Financial Information."
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2023, current assets were $341.3 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $149.0 million. Total debt outstanding was $289.9 million.
Total basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2023, were 238.0 million shares and 238.4 million shares, respectively.
Business Developments
During the second quarter, the Company opened six retail stores:
-- RISE Dispensary New Hope, Minnesota; profits from the first day of sales
were donated to Balanced Veterans Network.
-- RISE Dispensary Grove City, Pennsylvania; profits from the first day of
sales were donated to Grove City Community Food Pantry.
-- RISE Dispensary Bristol, Virginia; profits from the first day of sales
were donated to Virginia NORML.
-- RISE Dispensary Las Vegas on Nellis; profits from the grand opening were
donated to Opportunity Village.
-- RISE Dispensary Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; profits from the grand
opening were donated to Philadelphia Lawyers for Social Equity (PLSE).
-- RISE Dispensary Danville, Virginia; profits from the grand opening were
donated to Virginia NORML.
Subsequent to quarter end, on August 2, 2023, Green Thumb opened its 84(th) retail store nationwide in Las Vegas on Craig Road. Profits from the grand opening were donated to Opportunity Village. On July 1, 2023, Green Thumb commenced adult-use sales at its four Maryland retail stores in Hagerstown, Joppa, Silver Spring and Bethesda. Each store donated a portion of profits from the first day of adult-use sales to a local nonprofit organization, including Mission of Love Charities, Explore MD Cannabis and I Support The Girls.
Green Thumb in the Community
In partnership with 40 Tons, an African American and woman-owned social impact organization committed to restorative justice and equitable access to career opportunities, Good Green, a cannabis flower brand owned by Green Thumb, presented the sixth 40 Tons Level Up Career Conference & Business Expo in Chicago. The conference was an innovative employment resource that promotes social justice and brings together employers who encourage equitable hiring practices with diverse job seekers.
