Focused on re-accelerating growth in core states including New Jersey, Illinois, and Connecticut in the second half of 2024

Advancing acquisition by Canopy USA; expected to close in the first half of calendar 2025

New York, August 14, 2024 - Acreage Holdings, Inc. (“Acreage” or the “Company”) (CSE: ACRG.A.U, ACRG.B.U) (OTCQX: ACRHF, ACRDF), a vertically integrated, multi-state operator of cannabis cultivation and retailing facilities in the U.S., today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024 (“Q2 2024”).

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Overview

•Consolidated revenue of $39.0 million.

•Gross margin was 43%.

•Net loss was $24.1 million.

•Adjusted EBITDA* was $1.9 million and Adjusted EBITDA* as a percentage of consolidated revenue was 5%.

Highlights

•Results in Q2 2024, and the first half of 2024, were constrained by credit challenges and the need to preserve cash, which negatively impacted retail inventory levels and resulted in lower revenue and Adjusted EBITDA* performance.

•The Company completed a brokered private placement (the “Offering”) for gross proceeds of $10 million, to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

•Completed a recapitalization with an amended and restated credit facility with a new syndicate of lenders, including a wholly owned subsidiary of Canopy Growth Corporation (“Canopy”).

•Initiated inventory restocking across retail footprint to re-accelerate growth in core states including New Jersey, Illinois and Connecticut. Retail sales are showing promising signs of improvement in the current quarter.

•On August 6, 2024, commenced non-medical sales in Ohio at The Botanist locations in Akron, Canton, Cleveland, Wickliffe, and Columbus. A wide range of offerings from Acreage’s flagship brands The Botanist and Superflux are now available to both non-medical consumers and medical patients at The Botanist retail locations and partner dispensaries across Ohio. This achievement marks a pivotal moment as the Company builds on Acreage’s established reputation as a trusted medical operator. With the Ohio market estimated to reach $2.3 billion within a year1, Acreage’s robust presence positions the Company strongly to seize this immense opportunity. The Botanist, Superflux, and Wana brands are now available to non-medical customers and patients, and the Company anticipates bringing Jetty’s solventless vapes to our valued customers in Ohio over time.

•Strengthened the Company’s product portfolio through the launch of new products across its footprint, including:

◦The debut of Live Resin Gummies from Superflux in Illinois, marking the brand’s first venture into edibles. The Live Resin Gummies are infused with strain-specific, terpene-rich live resin.

◦The introduction of Superflux Premium Live Resin Vapes in New York and New Jersey.

◦The launch of The Botanist All-in-One Vapes and Gummies in in New York, and The Botanist Fast-Acting Gummies in New Jersey.

•Received approval to relocate the Company’s Atlantic City dispensary to Collingswood, New Jersey. The Botanist Collingswood will mark the first cannabis dispensary in the borough and is anticipated to begin welcoming medical patients in late November 2024. Contingent on regulatory approval, the Company plans to convert the location to a hybrid dispensary to offer both medical and adult-use sales.

•Granted a dispensary permit by Pennsylvania Department of Health's Office of Medical Marijuana, which will allow the Company to open up to three medical dispensaries and establish vertical operations for the first time in the Commonwealth. Acreage is currently exploring municipalities of interest, with medical dispensary locations expected to open in early 2025.

•Execution of additional initiatives, including submission of revised federal income tax returns and the sale of non-operational assets, expected to further improve liquidity and enable investment in growth initiatives highlighted above.

Update on pending acquisition by Canopy USA

•On June 3, 2024, Canopy exercised its option to acquire all of the issued and outstanding Class E subordinate voting shares in the Company in accordance with the terms of the prior plan of arrangement. Upon closing, Canopy USA, LLC (“Canopy USA”) will own 100% of the Fixed and Floating shares of the Company.

•Canopy USA expects to close its acquisition of Acreage in the first half of calendar year 2025, subject to certain closing conditions.

Management Commentary

“While our results in the first half of 2024 were constrained by credit challenges and the need to preserve cash, we’ve now recapitalized our business and expect our commercial activities in key markets, as well opening of the non‑medical market in Ohio, to significantly accelerate revenue and Adjusted EBITDA* for the remainder of the year,” said Dennis Curran, Chief Executive Officer of Acreage.

“In addition, the acquisition by Canopy USA is well underway and we are accelerating our integration including driving greater collaboration with our partners at Jetty and Wana. Together with the full Canopy USA ecosystem, we are poised to seize these opportunities and drive profitability forward as a unified force.”

Total revenue for Q2 2024 was $39.0 million, compared to $58.1 million in the second quarter of 2023 (“Q2 2023”). The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to liquidity constraints in the quarter that limited access to inventory and continued competitive pressure.

Total operating expenses for Q2 2024 were $22.5 million, compared to $26.2 million in Q2 2023, representing a reduction of 14%. The decrease in operating expenses can be attributed to initiatives put in place by management to reduce operating costs across the Company.

*NON-GAAP MEASURES, RECONCILIATION AND DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED)

This release includes Adjusted EBITDA*, which is a non-GAAP performance measure that we use to supplement our results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA* to evaluate its actual operating performance and for planning and forecasting future periods. The Company believes that the adjusted results presented provide relevant and useful information for investors because they clarify the Company’s actual operating performance, make it easier to compare our results with those of other companies and allow investors to review performance in the same way as our management. Since these measures are not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net loss or our other reported results of operations as reported under U.S. GAAP as indicators of our performance, and they may not be comparable to similarly named measures from other companies.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA* as net income before interest, income taxes and, depreciation and amortization and excluding the following: (i) income from investments, net (the majority of the Company's investment income relates to remeasurement to net asset value of previously-held interests in connection with our roll-up of affiliates, and the Company expects income from investments to be a non-recurring item as its legacy investment holdings diminish), (ii) equity-based compensation expense, (iii) non-cash impairment losses, (iv) transaction costs, (v) non-cash inventory adjustments and (vi) other non-recurring expenses (other expenses and income not expected to recur).
