TSND TerrAscend Corp

TerrAscend Corp. ("TerrAscend" or the "Company") (TSX: TSND) (OTCQX: TSNDF), a leading North American cannabis company, today announced preliminary and unaudited financial results for its quarter ended December 31, 2024. All amounts are in U.S. dollars.

For the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company anticipates:

• Net Revenue of $74.4 million, up 0.3% from $74.2 million in the third quarter of 2024.
• Gross Profit Margin of 50.2%, up 140 basis points from 48.8% in the third quarter of 2024.
• General and Administrative expenses decreased quarter-over-quarter.
• Generated Positive Cashflow from Operations in the quarter.

“Despite a challenging environment, the business performed ahead of our expectations during the fourth quarter of 2024, delivering positive sequential revenue growth with an expansion of gross margin to 50.2% and a reduction in operating expenses.   With our recent refinancing completed, which extended the vast majority of our debt maturities to late 2028, the team was able to fully focus on operational improvements in the fourth quarter. We are excited about a possible adult use bill passing in Pennsylvania, which will enable us to fully utilize our large scale 150k square foot cultivation and manufacturing facility in the state. We look forward to the Governor’s budget address next week where we believe he will outline his strongest case yet for a state recreational program. The fourth quarter results give us confidence in 2025 as we focus on driving operational efficiencies and growth in our core business while judiciously pursuing multiple greenfield expansion opportunities at increasingly attractive prices,” stated Jason Wild, Executive Chairman of TerrAscend.

• Retained the #1 market share position in New Jersey for all quarters of 2024, according to BDSA.
• Grew revenue in Maryland for the fourth consecutive quarter and expanded gross margin to over 50%.
• Commenced preparation for Pennsylvania adult use implementation, leveraging the Company’s 150k sq ft cultivation and manufacturing facility and Apothecarium retail network.

Caution Regarding Cannabis Operations in the United States

Investors should note that there are significant legal restrictions and regulations that govern the cannabis industry in the United States. Cannabis remains a Schedule I drug under the U.S. Controlled Substances Act, making it illegal under federal law in the United States to, among other things, cultivate, distribute or possess cannabis in the United States. Financial transactions involving proceeds generated by, or intended to promote, cannabis-related business activities in the United States may form the basis for prosecution under applicable US federal money laundering legislation.

While the approach to enforcement of such laws by the federal government in the United States has trended toward non-enforcement against individuals and businesses that comply with medical or adult-use cannabis programs in states where such programs are legal, strict compliance with state laws with respect to cannabis will neither absolve TerrAscend of liability under U.S. federal law, nor will it provide a defense to any federal proceeding which may be brought against TerrAscend. The enforcement of federal laws in the United States is a significant risk to the business of TerrAscend and any proceedings brought against TerrAscend thereunder may adversely affect TerrAscend’s operations and financial performance.
