**Verano Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Results**

*Company Delivers Record Revenue of $879 Million, a 19% Year-Over-Year Increase*

CHICAGO, March 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Verano Holdings Corp. (CSE: VRNO) (OTCQX: VRNOF) ("Verano" or the "Company"), a leading multi-state cannabis company, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022, which were prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP").

**Management Commentary**

"I'm very proud of our results in 2022, highlighted by record revenue and one of the industry's leading margin profiles, which demonstrate our continued execution in driving efficiencies across the business and positioning ourselves ahead of growth," said George Archos, Verano Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Since the end of 2021, we grew our retail footprint by adding more than 30 dispensaries across multiple core markets, significantly expanded our brand portfolio by launching a number of differentiated products that cater to a variety of consumers, celebrated the launch of adult use sales across our East Coast footprint in New Jersey and Connecticut, refinanced debt in a rising rate environment to include optionality, and made strategic investments to drive greater efficiencies across the business. Our products also continued to gain popularity with patients and consumers, demonstrated by an increased sell-through rate of Verano-branded products that have elevated our brands into top positions across many core markets, including our leading position in New Jersey."

"From a policy perspective, while we're disappointed in the lack of substantive legislative or banking reforms which will place additional pressure on many industry operators, we're encouraged by continued momentum in support of cannabis at the state level and progressive conversations at the federal level," Archos continued. "Our strategy since inception has been focused on establishing a self-sustaining business regardless of macroeconomic factors and legislative reforms, and we will continue to stay engaged with policymakers and be ready to take advantage of any future reforms at the federal level. In 2023, we will consider selective opportunities to further expand our footprint, focus on free cash flow generation, and leverage our leading position in markets that are poised for adult use transition in the near future, including Maryland. I am proud of what we've accomplished in just two years since our IPO, and remain excited and confident in our plans to drive long-term, sustainable growth."

**Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Overview**

Revenue for fourth quarter 2022 was $226 million, up 7% from $211 million for fourth quarter 2021, and down 1% from $228 million for third quarter 2022. The increase in revenue for fourth quarter 2022 compared to fourth quarter 2021 was driven primarily by strength from adult use sales in New Jersey, in addition to increased retail contributions from Florida store openings.

Gross profit for fourth quarter 2022 was $103 million or 46% of revenue, down from $109 million or 52% of revenue for fourth quarter 2021, and down from $123 million or 54% of revenue for third quarter 2022. The decrease in gross profit for fourth quarter 2022 compared to fourth quarter 2021 was driven primarily by increased discounting and cost increases associated with expansion activities.

SG&A expense for fourth quarter 2022 was $81 million or 36% of revenue, down from $82 million or 39% of revenue for fourth quarter 2021, and down from $86 million or 38% of revenue for third quarter 2022. The decrease in SG&A expense for fourth quarter 2022 compared to fourth quarter 2021 was driven primarily by lower stock based compensation and decreased M&A activities offsetting increased costs associated with additional stores.

Net loss for fourth quarter 2022 was $(216) million, down from $(7) million for fourth quarter 2021, and down from $(43) million for third quarter 2022. The increase in net loss for fourth quarter 2022 compared to fourth quarter 2021 was driven by a $229 million impairment charge, primarily of an intangible asset related to the Arizona cultivation license and Pennsylvania and Arizona retail reporting units.

Adjusted EBITDA<sup>1</sup> for fourth quarter 2022 was $79 million or 35% of revenue, down from $82 million or 39% of revenue for fourth quarter 2021, and down from $82 million or 36% of revenue for third quarter 2022.

Revenue for full year 2022 was $879 million, up 19% from $738 million for full year 2021.

------

Gross profit for full year 2022 was $423 million or 48% of revenue, up from $331 million or 45% of revenue for full year 2021. The increase in gross profit for full year 2022 compared to full year 2021 was driven primarily by increased revenues and lack of prior year inventory step-up.

SG&A expense for full year 2022 was $357 million or 41% of revenue, up from $271 million or 37% of revenue for full year 2021. The increase in SG&A expense was driven primarily by increased headcount to service 29 additional retail locations.

Net loss for full year 2022 was $(269) million, down from $(58) million for full year 2021. The increase in net loss for full year 2022 compared to 2021 was driven primarily by a $229 million impairment charge, primarily of an intangible asset related to the Arizona cultivation license and Pennsylvania and Arizona retail reporting units.

Adjusted EBITDA<sup>1</sup> for full year 2022 was $324 million or 37% of revenue, which was flat compared to $324 million or 44% of revenue for full year 2021.

<sup>1</sup> Adjusted EBITDA is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure. It is derived from EBITDA, another non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, and is defined in this news release in the section below titled "Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures." The most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA is net income. The reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to U.S. GAAP net income is set forth below in the tables included in this news release.

<sup>2</sup> Free Cash Flow is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure. It is derived from U.S. GAAP Cash Flow from Operations, and is defined in this news release in the section below titled "Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures." The reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to U.S. GAAP Cash Flow from Operations is set forth below in the tables included in this news release.

**Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures**

Verano uses non-U.S. GAAP financial information to evaluate the performance of the Company. The terms "EBIT," "EBITDA," "Adjusted EBITDA," and "Free Cash Flow" do not have any standardized meaning prescribed within U.S. GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Accordingly, this non-U.S. GAAP financial information is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Company calculates EBIT as net earnings from operations before interest expense and tax expenses, EBITDA as net earnings from operations before interest expense, tax expense, depreciation, and amortization, Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA is adjusted for one-time expenses related to other expenses, employee stock compensation, gain from investment in associates, acquisition, transaction and other non-operating costs and acquisition adjustments and other income (expense), net, and Free Cash Flow as Cash Flow from Operations less Capital Expenditures. The calculations of the non-U.S. GAAP financial measures used in this news release and the reconciliations to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial numbers are included in the tables below.

Management believes that this non-U.S. GAAP financial information is useful as a supplement to comparable U.S. GAAP financial information. Management reviews these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures on a regular basis and uses them, together with financial measures included in the Company's financial statements, to evaluate and manage the performance of the Company's operations. These measures should be evaluated only in conjunction with the comparable U.S. GAAP financial numbers reported by the Company.
