First Quarter 2024 Financial Overview

Total revenue for the first quarter 2024 was $275.8 million, up 11.0% from the prior year period. Revenue growth in the first quarter was primarily driven by increased retail and consumer packaged goods sales in 15 incremental RISE Dispensaries since the prior year period, as well as the addition of adult-use sales in Maryland.

Overall retail revenue increased 7.9% versus the first quarter of 2023. First quarter 2024 comparable sales (stores open at least 12 months) increased 1.8% versus the prior year period on a base of 76 stores. Consumer Packaged Goods gross revenue increased 19.3% versus the first quarter of 2023.

Gross profit for the first quarter 2024 was $144.9 million or 52.5% of revenue compared to $124.7 million or 50.2% of revenue for the first quarter 2023. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by revenue growth in the quarter.

Total selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter were $74.3 million or 26.9% of revenue, a decrease from $80.5 million or 32.4% of revenue for the first quarter 2023. Net of a one-time $16 million non-cash credit, total selling, general and administrative expenses were $90.2 million.

Net income attributable to the Company for the first quarter 2024 was $31.1 million or $0.13 per basic and diluted share, an increase from net income of $9.1 million, or $0.04 per basic and diluted share in the prior year period.

In the first quarter 2024, EBITDA was $98.4 million or 35.7% of revenue versus $67.7 million or 27.2% of revenue for the comparable prior year period.
