MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY
Green Thumb Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Ben Kovler
“Despite ongoing price compression in certain key markets, our team delivered another solid quarter of results. Third quarter revenue was $291 million, up approximately 2% year over year. Adjusted EBITDA was $80 million, or 28% of revenue, and cash flow from operations was $74 million. Our balance sheet is in comfortable shape with cash and cash equivalents of $226 million, and our senior credit facility does not mature for four years.
“As we have said, maintaining a strong balance sheet and generating consistent cash flow gives us the flexibility to allocate capital effectively, and returning value to our shareholders is a key part of that approach. Since launching our first share repurchase program in late 2023, we have repurchased approximately $107 million of our subordinate voting shares at an average price of $7.95 per share, reducing total shares outstanding by 13.5 million. In September, our Board authorized another share repurchase program for $50 million that extends through September 2026.
“Our strong financial position also provides the headroom to stay forward-thinking amid persistent industry challenges. While federal reform remains uncertain and 280E taxation and limited access to capital continue to weigh on operators, cannabis demand continues to rise, making it one of the largest and fastest-growing consumer categories.
“In August, we completed a transaction with RYTHM, Inc. that further enables expansion of THC products beyond dispensary walls and strengthens Green Thumb's position in a rapidly evolving industry. As the THC market continues to expand, we are excited to lead this next phase of growth, supported by strong brands, loyal customers, industry-leading products and, of course, the best team in the business driving it all forward.”
Green Thumb President Anthony Georgiadis
“We are extremely proud of our Green Thumb team and the consistent performance we continue to deliver. Even amid ongoing price compression and heightened competition in several of our core markets, we have continued to optimize our business model and generate substantial profitability and cash flow. Our focus on driving brand-led market share expansion is also delivering results, with meaningful third-quarter gains in key markets including Illinois, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland.
“As of today, we have launched adult-use sales at all eight of our RISE Dispensaries across Minnesota, allowing us to bring well-being through cannabis and the RISE experience to more adults throughout the North Star State. While the current regulatory structure in Minnesota artificially limits supply and negatively impacts consumers, we are encouraged by the strong demand we have seen since adult-use began in mid-September. We remain optimistic that the framework will evolve so that we can more fully meet customer demand with our branded products.
“As we look ahead to 2026, we remain confident that despite a challenging environment, we can continue to expand our market share and deliver industry-leading financial and operating performance. Last night's election results in Virginia are an encouraging step toward establishing an adult-use market and give us greater confidence that we can work with policymakers to make that happen at some point next year.”
Third Quarter 2025 Financial Overview
Total revenue for the third quarter 2025 was $291.4 million, up 1.6% from the prior year period. Consumer Packaged Goods revenue, net of intersegment eliminations, increased by 8% due to continued expansion in the adult-use markets in New York and Ohio. Retail revenue declined by 1% as compared to same period in the prior year, primarily due to price compression in existing markets, including Illinois, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, partially offset by the launch of adult-use sales in Minnesota. Third quarter 2025 comparable sales (stores open at least 12 months) decreased 7.1% versus the prior year on a base of 93 stores.
Gross profit for the third quarter 2025 was $144.0 million or 49.4% of revenue, a reduction from $147.6 million or 51.4% of revenue over the prior year period. The decline in gross margin percentage was primarily driven by price compression.
Total selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter 2025 were $107.3 million or 36.8% of revenue, compared to $105.0 million or 36.6% of revenue for the third quarter 2024. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to increased costs associated with the opening and operation of new retail stores since the third quarter of 2024.
Total other income (expense) for the third quarter was $36.2 million versus ($2.9) million for the comparable period in the prior year, due to a gain on the sale of intellectual property rights to RYTHM, Inc.
Net income attributable to the Company for the third quarter was $23.3 million or $0.10 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $8.6 million, or $0.04 per basic and diluted share in the prior year period. Excluding the one-time gain on a sale during the last three months, GAAP net income would have been $9.7 million or $0.04 per basic and diluted share. Net Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $30.9 million or $0.13 per basic and diluted share. Excluding the gain on asset sales over the last nine months, GAAP net income would have been $23.6 million or $0.10 per basic and diluted share.
In the third quarter 2025, EBITDA was $66.8 million or 22.9% of revenue, versus $71.1 million or 24.8% of revenue for the comparable prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA, which excluded non-cash stock-based compensation of $11.7 million and other non-operating adjustments of $1.7 million, was $80.2 million or 27.5% of revenue, down from $89.2 million or 31.1% of revenue for the third quarter 2024.
The Company expects fourth quarter 2025 revenues to be sequentially flat to up single digits.
