This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Securities Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and is subject to the safe harbor created by those sections. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q also contains "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. We refer to such forward-looking statements and forward-looking information collectively as "forward-looking statements". Forward-looking statements may relate to the Company's future outlook or financial position and anticipated events or results and may include statements regarding the financial position, business strategy, budgets, expansion plans, litigation, projected production, projected costs, capital expenditures, financial results, taxes, plans and objectives of or involving the Company. Particularly, statements regarding future results, performance, achievements, prospects or opportunities for the Company, the greenhouse vegetable or produce industry, the cannabis industry and market and our energy segment are forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking information can be identified by such terms as "can", "outlook", "may", "might", "will", "could", "should", "would", "occur", "expect", "plan", "anticipate", "believe", "intend", "try", "estimate", "predict", "potential", "continue", "likely", "schedule", "objectives", or the negative or grammatical variation thereof or other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are subject to risks that may include, but are not limited to: our limited operating history in the cannabis and cannabinoids industry, including that of Pure Sunfarms, Corp. (“Pure Sunfarms”), Rose LifeScience Inc. (“Rose” or “Rose LifeScience”) and Balanced Health Botanicals, LLC (“Balanced Health”); the limited operational history of the Delta RNG Project in our energy segment and Leli Holland B.V. ("Leli"); the legal status of the cannabis business of Pure Sunfarms and Rose and the hemp business of Balanced Health and uncertainty regarding the legality and regulatory status of cannabis in the United States; risks relating to the integration of Balanced Health and Rose into our consolidated business; risks relating to obtaining additional financing on acceptable terms, including our dependence upon credit facilities and dilutive transactions; potential difficulties in achieving and/or maintaining profitability; variability of product pricing; risks inherent in the cannabis, hemp, CBD, cannabinoids, and agricultural businesses; our market position and competitive position; our ability to leverage current business relationships for future business involving hemp and cannabinoids; the ability of Pure Sunfarms and Rose to cultivate and distribute cannabis in Canada as well as exports; risks related to the start-up of international production at our Netherlands operations under Leli; potential inability to remain listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) if we do not regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement by October 13, 2025; risks relating to maintaining an active, liquid and orderly trading market for Common Shares as a result of the Company’s potential inability to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Stock Market’s listing rules; existing and new governmental regulations, including risks related to regulatory compliance and regarding obtaining and maintaining licenses required under the Cannabis Act (Canada), the Criminal Code and other Acts, S.C. 2018, C. 16 (Canada) for its Canadian operational facilities, and changes in our regulatory requirements; legal and operational risks relating to expected conversion of our greenhouses to cannabis production in Canada and in the United States; risks related to rules and regulations at the U.S. Federal (Food and Drug Administration and United States Department of Agriculture), state and municipal levels with respect to produce and hemp, cannabidiol-based products commercialization; retail consolidation, technological advances and other forms of competition; transportation disruptions; product liability and other potential litigation; retention of key executives; labor issues; uninsured and underinsured losses; vulnerability to rising energy costs; inflationary effects on costs of cultivation and transportation; recessionary effects on demand of our products; environmental, health and safety risks, foreign exchange exposure, risks associated with cross-border trade and the potential for tariffs and other trade restrictions; difficulties in managing our growth; restrictive covenants under our credit facilities; natural catastrophes; elevated interest rates; and tax risks.
The Company has based these forward-looking statements on factors and assumptions about future events and financial trends that it believes may affect its financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based upon assumptions that management believes are reasonable based on information currently available to management, there can be no assurance that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements necessarily involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company's control, which may cause the Company's or the industry's actual results, performance, achievements, prospects and opportunities in future periods to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, the factors contained in the Company's filings with securities regulators, including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Company’s most recently filed annual report on Form 10-K.
When relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions, the Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on these statements, as forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties and should not be read as guarantees of future results, performance, achievements, prospects and opportunities. The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

VILLAGE FARMS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(In thousands of United States dollars, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)
1.BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
Village Farms International, Inc. (“VFF” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a corporation existing under the Ontario Business Corporations Act. VFF’s principal operating subsidiaries as of March 31, 2025 were Village Farms Canada Limited Partnership, Village Farms, L.P.(together, “Village Farms Fresh” or “VF Fresh”), Pure Sunfarms Corp. (“Pure Sunfarms”), Balanced Health Botanicals, LLC (“Balanced Health”) and VF Clean Energy, Inc. (“VFCE”) and Leli Holland B. V. (“Leli”). VFF also owns an 80% interest in Rose LifeScience Inc. (“Rose”).
The address of the registered office of VFF is 79 Wellington Street West, Suite 3300, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5K 1N2.
The address of the principal executive office of VFF is 90 Colonial Center Pkwy, Lake Mary, Florida, United States, 32746.
The Company’s shares are listed on Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “VFF”. On October 18, 2024, the Company received notification from Nasdaq that it is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq (Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2)) (the “Minimum Bid Requirement”) as the bid price for the Company’s common shares (the “Common Shares”) closed below US$1.00 from September 6, 2024 to October 17, 2024. Pursuant to this notification, the Company had an initial 180-calendar day period to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement which ended on April 16, 2025.
On April 17, 2025, the Company received notification from Nasdaq that the Company’s did not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement during the initial 180-calendar day period. Following this notification, on April 21, 2025, the Company requested, and Nasdaq approved, a 180-calendar day extension (the "Extension") to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement.
As a result of the Extension, the Company now has until October 13, 2025 (the “New Compliance Period”) to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. The Extension has no immediate effect on the listing of the Common Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market. During the New Compliance Period, the Common Shares will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If at any time before the end of the New Compliance Period, the bid price of the Common Shares closes at or above US$1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, it is expected that Nasdaq would notify the Company that it has regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement.
In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement by the end of the New Compliance Period, the Company may be subject to delisting of its Common Shares from the Nasdaq Capital Market, at which time the Company may request a review of the delisting determination by a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
We can provide no assurance that the Company would receive a favorable decision from a Nasdaq Hearing Panel after the end of the Compliance Period or that the Common Shares will not be delisted from Nasdaq.
VFF owns and operates sophisticated, highly intensive agricultural greenhouse facilities in British Columbia and Texas, where it produces, markets and sells premium-quality tomatoes, bell peppers and cucumbers. Its wholly owned subsidiary, Pure Sunfarms, is a vertically integrated licensed producer and supplier of cannabis products sold to customers throughout Canada and internationally. Through its 80% ownership interest of Rose, the Company has a substantial presence in the Province of Quebec as a cannabis supplier, producer and commercialization expert. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Balanced Health, develops and sells high quality, cannabidiol (“CBD”) based products including ingestible, edible and topical applications within the U.S. Its wholly owned subsidiary, Leli, is a vertically integrated licensed producer and supplier of cannabis products sold to coffee shops in the Netherlands.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2024 is derived from the Company’s audited financial statements as of that date. Because certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 contained in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In management’s opinion, all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented have been included. When necessary, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. Interim period operating results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any

other interim period or for the full fiscal year. The Company believes that the disclosures made in these condensed consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information not misleading.
Principals of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include Village Farms International, Inc. and its subsidiaries and include the accounts of all majority-owned subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control and, when applicable, entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Other parties’ interests in entities that the Company consolidates are reported as non-controlling interests within equity, except for mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests, which are recorded within mezzanine equity. Net income or loss attributable to non-controlling interests is reported as a separate line item below net income or loss. The Company applies the equity method of accounting for its investments in entities for which it does not have a controlling financial interest, but over which it has the ability to exert significant influence. For equity investees in which the Company has an undivided interest in the assets, liabilities and profits or losses of an unconsolidated entity, but does not exercise control over the entity, the Company consolidates its proportional interest in the accounts of the entity.
Revision of Prior-Period Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
In connection with the preparation of our 2024 consolidated financial statements, the Company identified an immaterial misstatement in its estimate of its deferred tax asset valuation allowance as of December 31, 2023. As a result, retained earnings as of December 31, 2023 decreased by $3,000, reflecting the correction of this item. Our revision had no impact to the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows. Additionally, our revision had no impact to the Company’s segment profit measures, compliance with debt covenants, or performance metrics used in the calculation of executive compensation as the impacted line items are excluded from these calculations. We evaluated the materiality of the impact quantitatively and qualitatively and concluded it was not material to any of the prior periods.
Translations of Foreign Currencies
The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates, with resulting translation gains or losses included within other comprehensive income or loss. Revenue and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at average rates of exchange during the applicable period. Substantially all of the Company’s foreign operations use their local currency as their functional currency. For foreign operations for which the local currency is not the functional currency, the operation’s non-monetary assets are remeasured into U.S. dollars at historical exchange rates. All other accounts are remeasured at current exchange rates, with both gains or losses from remeasurement and currency gains or losses from transactions executed in currencies other than the functional currency included in foreign exchange (loss) gain.
In these condensed consolidated financial statements, “$” means U.S. dollars and “C$” means Canadians dollars, unless otherwise noted.
The exchange rates used to translate from Canadian dollars to U.S dollars is shown below:

General Economic, Regulatory and Market Conditions
The Company has experienced, and may continue to experience, direct and indirect negative effects on its business and operations from negative economic, regulatory and market conditions, including inflationary effects on fuel prices, labor and materials costs, elevated interest rates, tariffs, potential recessionary impacts and supply chain disruptions that could negatively affect demand for new projects and/or delay existing project timing or cause increased project costs. The extent to which general economic, regulatory and market conditions could affect the Company’s business, operations and financial results is uncertain as it will depend upon numerous evolving factors that management may not be able to accurately predict, and, therefore, any future impacts on the Company’s business, financial condition and/or results of operations cannot be quantified or predicted with specificity.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
No accounting pronouncements recently issued or newly effective have had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. REVENUES
The Company’s produce and cannabis revenue transactions consist of a single performance obligation to transfer promised goods at a fixed price. Quantities to be delivered to the customer are determined at a point near the date of delivery through purchase orders received from the customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it has fulfilled a performance obligation, which is typically when the customer receives the goods. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring the goods. The amount of revenue recognized is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, reduced for excise duty, returns, and other customer credits, such as trade discounts and volume rebates. Payment terms are consistent with terms standard to the markets the Company serves.
The following table disaggregates the Company’s net revenue by major source for the three months ended:

Assessment for Indicators of Impairment
At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that would indicate an impairment. The Company considers external and internal factors, including overall financial performance and relevant entity-specific factors, as part of this assessment.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company considered qualitative factors in assessing for impairment indicators for the Company’s U.S. and Canadian Cannabis segments.
At March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company concluded that no impairment indicators existed as no events or circumstances occurred that would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value of the reporting units to be below their carrying amounts.

As collateral for the FCC Term Loan, the Company has provided promissory notes and a first priority security interest over its accounts receivable and inventory. In addition, the Company has granted full recourse guarantees and security therein. The carrying value of the assets and securities pledged as collateral for the FCC Term Loan as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $69,613 and $77,682, respectively.
On April 10, 2025, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “A&R Credit Agreement”) with Farm Credit Canada (“FCC”) as the lender, which amended and restated the terms of the FCC Term Loan. Among other things, the A&R Credit Agreement (i) adds the Company as a new borrower, (ii) adds VF Clean Energy, Inc. as a new guarantor, and (iii) provides more favorable financial covenants.
As of March 31, 2025, the PSF Non-Revolving Facility was secured by the Delta 2 and Delta 3 greenhouse facilities and contained customary financial and restrictive covenants.
The Company has a revolving line of credit agreement with a Canadian chartered bank (the "Operating Loan") maturing May 2027. The Operating Loan can be drawn in advances of up to C$10,000, had an outstanding balance of $5,000 and $4,000 drawn on the facility as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and future availability of $2,588 on March 31, 2025. Interest under the Operating Loan is payable at the Canadian prime rate plus an applicable margin per annum (7.87% at March 31, 2025), payable monthly.
The carrying value of the assets pledged as collateral for the Operating Loan as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $23,755 and $27,136, respectively.
As of March 31, 2025, Pure Sunfarms had a revolving line of credit (the “PSF Revolving Line of Credit”) with a Canadian chartered bank. The PSF Revolving Line of Credit could be drawn for advances of up to C$15,000 and had an outstanding balance of C$0 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Interest under the PSF Revolving Line of Credit was payable at the Canadian prime rate plus an applicable margin per annum (6.95% at March 31, 2025), payable monthly. As described below, on April 17, 2025, Pure Sunfarms replaced the Pure Sunfarms Loans and the PSF Revolving Line of Credit with the Pure Sunfarms Secured Credit Facilities (as defined below).
The Company was required to comply with financial covenants, measured either quarterly or annually depending on the covenant. The Company was in compliance with all its covenants as of March 31, 2025.
VILLAGE FARMS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(In thousands of United States dollars, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)
The weighted average annual interest rate on short-term borrowings as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was 7.81% and 9.44%, respectively.
Accrued interest payable on all long-term debt as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $353 and $271, respectively, and these amounts are included in accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
On April 17, 2025, the Company entered into a secured credit facility with a Canadian chartered bank as administrative agent with an aggregate borrowing capacity of C$37.4 million, consisting of a maximum C$10.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Pure Sunfarms Revolving Credit Facility"), and a C$27.4 million term loan facility (the "Pure Sunfarms Term Loan Facility", and collectively with the Pure Sunfarms Revolving Credit Facility, the "Pure Sunfarms Secured Credit Facilities"). The Pure Sunfarms Secured Credit Facilities are secured by the Delta 2 and Delta 3 greenhouse facilities. The Pure Sunfarms Secured Credit Facilities were used to replace, and repay remaining outstanding balances on, the Company's (i) Pure Sunfarms Term Loan, (ii) the Pure Sunfarms Non-Revolving Facility, (iii) the BDC Facility, and (iv) the PSF Revolving Line of Credit. The credit and guarantee agreements related to the Pure Sunfarms Loan, the Pure Sunfarms Non-Revolving Credit Facility, the BDC Facility, and the PSF Revolving Line of Credit were terminated.
The Pure Sunfarms Secured Credit Facilities can be drawn for advances of up to C$10.0 million. The outstanding amount of the Pure Sunfarms Term Loan Facility will be repayable, on a quarterly basis, in an amount equal to C$1.0 million. Any amount remaining unpaid will be due and payable in full on the maturity date, which is on February 7, 2028.
The loans under the Pure Sunfarms Secured Credit Facilities will accrue interest at a rate equal to, at the company's option, (a) the Canadian Prime Rate plus the applicable margin, or (b) the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin for the Pure Sunfarms Secured Credit Facility is determined based upon the leverage ratio.
The Pure Sunfarms Secured Credit Facilities also contain customary covenants, customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, financial covenants and events of default.
In accordance with ASC 470-10-45, Debt, Other Presentation Matters, because the Pure Sunfarms Secured Credit Facilities were issued subsequent to the balance sheet date of March 31, 2025, and because a portion of the Pure Sunfarms Secured Credit Facilities proceeds were used to pay off the Pure Sunfarms Term Loans and the BDC Facility, the Company reclassified the short-term portion of the of the Pure Sunfarms Term Loan, the Pure Sunfarms Non-Revolving Facility, and the BDC Facility on the balance sheet as of March 31, 2025 to long-term, except for the C$4.0 million ($2.9 million as of March 31, 2025) in current-maturities of long-term debt (which represents payments due in the next 12 months under the Pure Sunfarms Secured Credit Facilities).

7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial assets and liabilities are recognized on the consolidated statements of financial position at fair value in a hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, minority investments, line of credit, trade payables, accrued liabilities, lease liabilities, and note payables. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying value of line of credit, lease liabilities, notes payable, and debt approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments or the use of market interest rates for debt instruments.
There were no financial instruments categorized as Level 3 at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, other than the minority investments. There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between levels during the three months ended March 31, 2025 or March 31, 2024.

8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND BALANCES
The Company leases its Rose office building from a Company employee who also owns a minority interest in Rose. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company paid C$36 and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 the Company paid C$39 to lease this office space.
One of the Company’s employees is related to a member of the Company’s executive management team and received approximately $36 in salary and benefits during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and $30 in salary and benefits during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
9. INCOME TAXES
The Company has recorded a provision for income taxes of $983 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with a provision for income taxes of $320 for the same period last year.
The Company’s income tax provision is based on management’s estimate of the effective tax rate for the full year. The tax (provision) benefit in any period will be affected by, among other things, permanent, as well as discrete items, differences in the deductibility of certain items, changes in the valuation allowance related to net deferred tax assets, in addition to changes in tax legislation. As a result, the Company may experience significant fluctuations in the effective book tax rate (that is, tax expense divided by pre-tax book income) from period to period.
In order to fully utilize the net deferred tax assets, the Company will need to generate sufficient taxable income in future years. The Company analyzed all positive and negative evidence to determine if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not to realize the benefit of the net deferred tax assets. The recognition of the net deferred tax assets and related tax benefits is based upon the Company’s conclusions regarding, among other considerations, estimates of future earnings based on information currently available and current and anticipated customers, contracts, and product introductions, as well as historical operating results and certain tax planning strategies.
Based on the analysis of all available evidence, both positive and negative, the Company has concluded that it does not have the ability to generate sufficient taxable income in the necessary periods to utilize the entire benefit for its deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company established a valuation allowance of $50,832 as of March 31, 2025 and $48,561 as of December 31, 2024. The Company cannot presently estimate what, if any, changes to the valuation of its deferred tax assets may be deemed appropriate in the future.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s net deferred tax assets totaled $918 and were primarily derived from a tax planning strategy to utilize a portion of its existing net operating loss carryforwards.
10. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
The Company regularly monitors its reportable segments to determine if changes in facts and circumstances would indicate whether changes in the determination or aggregation of operating segments are necessary. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company determined that Leli had met the quantitative threshold to be a reportable segment. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2024, the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) changed the segment profit measure to operating income or loss from gross margin. We believe that segment operating (loss) income is a more useful measure because it allows management, analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate the profitability of our business operations before the effects of certain expenses that directly arise from non-operating activities (other income/expense), financing decisions (interest), and tax strategies (income taxes). These changes have been applied to all periods presented.
Segment reporting is prepared on the same basis that the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the CODM, manages the business, makes operating decisions and assesses performance. Management has determined that the Company operates in five reportable segments: Produce, Cannabis-Canada, Cannabis-U.S., Clean Energy, and Cannabis - Netherlands (previously Leli).The Produce segment produces, markets and sells premium quality tomatoes, bell peppers and cucumbers. The Cannabis-Canada segment produces and supplies cannabis products to be sold to other licensed providers and provincial governments across Canada and internationally. The Cannabis-U.S. segment develops and sells high-quality, CBD-based health and wellness products including ingestible, edible and topical applications across the United States. The Clean Energy business receives a royalty representing a portion of the natural gas that is sold to one customer pursuant to its long-term contract. The Cannabis - Netherlands segment produces and supplies cannabis products in the Netherlands, supplying designated coffee shops.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of business, basis of presentation and significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance for all of its reportable segments based on segment operating (loss) income from operations.
VILLAGE FARMS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(In thousands of United States dollars, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)
For all of its reportable segments, the CODM uses segment operating (loss) income to allocate resources (including employees, property, and financial or capital resources) for each segment, predominantly in the annual budget and forecasting process. The CODM considers budget-to-actual variances on a monthly basis for the (loss) income when making decisions about allocating capital and personnel to the segments. The CODM also uses segment (loss) income to assess the performance for each segment by comparing the results with one another.
The following tables reflect the reconciliation of segment revenue, measures of a segments profit or loss, and significant segment expenses reconciled to the consolidated loss before income taxes:

14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.
On April 10, 2025, the Company entered into the A&R Credit Agreement with FCC as the lender, which amended and restated the terms of the FCC Term Loan. Among other things, the A&R Credit Agreement (i) adds the Company as a new borrower, (ii) adds VF Clean Energy, Inc. as a new guarantor, and (iii) provides more favorable financial covenants.
On April 17, 2025, the Company entered into a secured credit facility with a Canadian chartered bank as administrative agent with an aggregate borrowing capacity of C$37.4 million, consisting of the Pure Sunfarms Secured Credit Facilities (Note 6). The Pure Sunfarms Secured Credit Facilities are secured by the Delta 2 and Delta 3 greenhouse facilities. The Pure Sunfarms Secured Credit Facilities were used to replace, and repay remaining outstanding balances on, the Company's (i) Pure Sunfarms Term Loan, (ii) the Pure Sunfarms Non-Revolving Credit Facility, (iii) the BDC Facility, (iv) and the PSF Revolving Line of Credit. The credit and guarantee agreements related to the Pure Sunfarms Loan, the Pure Sunfarms Non-Revolving Credit Facility, the BDC Facility, and the PSF Revolving Line of Credit were terminated.
On April 22, 2025, the Company received a favorable settlement of approximately $4.4 million, net of transaction costs, relating to the partial recovery of historical operational losses due to the Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus infestation.
On May 12, 2025, the Company entered into a definitive framework agreement with a newly-formed holding company (“Vanguard”), backed by private investment firms, to privatize certain assets and operations of its Fresh Produce segment. The transaction will create a new, privately held joint venture with Village Farms as a minority owner. Village Farms is expected to receive $40 million in cash proceeds, as well as a 37.9% equity ownership interest in Vanguard upon closing of the transaction, which is expected to occur during the second quarter of 2025.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report and the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (our "Annual Report on Form 10-K"). This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements about our plans and expectations of what may happen in the future. Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and estimates that are inherently subject to significant risks and uncertainties, and our actual results could differ materially from the results anticipated by our forward-looking statements. We encourage you to review the risks and uncertainties described in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report. These risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or implied by our forward-looking statements contained in this report. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this management’s discussion and analysis, and we do not intend, and do not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Village Farms International, Inc. (“VFF”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “Village Farms”, “we” “us” or “our”) is a corporation existing under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). The Company’s principal operating subsidiaries are Village Farms Canada Limited Partnership (“VFCLP”), Village Farms L.P. (“VFLP”), Pure Sunfarms Corp. (“Pure Sunfarms” or “PSF”), Balanced Health Botanicals, LLC (“Balanced Health”), Rose LifeScience Inc. (“Rose LifeScience” or “Rose”), VF Clean Energy, Inc. (“VFCE”), and Leli Holland B. V. (“Leli” or “Leli Holland”).
The Company’s vision is to be recognized as an international leader in consumer products developed from plants, whereby we produce and market value-added products that are consistently preferred by consumers. To do so, we leverage decades of cultivation expertise, investment, and experience in fresh produce into branded and wholesale cannabis products within markets with legally permissible opportunities.
In Canada, we converted two produce facilities to grow cannabis for the Canadian legal adult use (recreational) market. Our focus for our Canadian Cannabis segment is to produce high quality cannabis, leveraging our low-cost production to provide preferred products at an attractive price that address the preferred consumer segments in the market. This market positioning, combined with our cultivation expertise, has enabled us to evolve into the top-five best-selling producer nationally and one of the few Canadian licensed producers with consistently strong operating results.
Additionally, through organic growth, exports and/or acquisitions, we have a strategy to participate in other international markets where cannabis attains legal status. In September 2021, our Canadian Cannabis business began exporting cannabis products to Australia for that country’s medical market. In March 2022, our Canadian Cannabis business received European Union Good Manufacturing Practice (“EU GMP”) certification for Pure Sunfarms’ 1.1 million square foot Delta 3 cannabis facility located in Delta, British Columbia (“B.C.”) which permits Pure Sunfarms to export EU GMP-certified medical cannabis to importers and distributors in international markets that require EU GMP certification. In late 2022, Pure Sunfarms commenced exports to Israel, in 2023 Pure Sunfarms began exporting cannabis products to Germany and the United Kingdom for the medical markets in those countries, and in 2025 it began exporting cannabis products to New Zealand. As a result of the typically higher margins in international medical markets, we expect international expansion to enhance our profitability while expanding our brand and experience into emerging legal cannabis markets.
During the fourth quarter of 2024, we completed our acquisition of Leli Holland. Through our ownership of Leli Holland, we hold one of ten licenses to cultivate and distribute cannabis legally in the Netherlands under that country’s Controlled Cannabis Supply Chain Experiment, with sales beginning in the first quarter of 2025.
In the U.S., Balanced Health is our industry-leading cannabinoid business, extending our portfolio into cannabidiol (“CBD”) and hemp-derived consumer products.
We also operate a large, well-established, produce business (primarily tomatoes) under the Village Farms Fresh (“VF Fresh”) brand which sells to food distribution companies and mass retail stores. We own and operate produce cultivation assets in Texas and Delta, B.C. and source produce from our growing partners, in Mexico and Canada.
Our intention is to use our assets, expertise and experience (across cannabis, hemp, CBD and produce ecosystems) to participate in the U.S. Cannabis market subject to compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state laws and applicable stock exchange rules.
Our Operating Segments
Canadian Cannabis Segment
Our Canadian Cannabis segment includes wholly owned Pure Sunfarms and an 80% ownership interest in Rose LifeScience.
Pure Sunfarms is one of the single largest cannabis growing operations in the world, one of the lowest-cost greenhouse producers and one of the leading flower brands in Canada. Pure Sunfarms leverages our 30 years of experience as a vertically integrated greenhouse grower for cannabis growth opportunities in Canada with commercial distribution in all Canadian provinces and territories. Our long-term objective for Pure Sunfarms is to be the leading low-cost, high-quality cannabis producer in Canada.

Our long-term objective for our Canadian Cannabis segment is to garner and sustain a leading retail market share in Canada, as well as a leading exporter of medicinal cannabis, stemming from our position as a leading low-cost, high-quality cannabis producer in Canada and expand our Canadian success into growing international cannabis markets across the globe by becoming a leading exporter of medicinal cannabis.
Netherlands Cannabis Segment (Leli Holland)

Through VF Fresh, we grow, market and distribute premium-quality, greenhouse-grown produce in North America. These premium products are grown in sophisticated, highly intensive agricultural greenhouse facilities located in British Columbia and Texas. We also market and distribute premium tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers produced under exclusive and non-exclusive arrangements from our greenhouse supply partners located in Mexico, B.C. and Ontario.

The Delta RNG Project, which commenced operations in 2024, converts VFCE’s landfill gas into high-demand renewable natural gas ("RNG") through a state-of-the-art facility. Terreva Renewables sells the renewable natural gas and VFCE receives a portion of the revenue in the form of a royalty.
Recent Developments and Updates
Canadian Cannabis
•Maintained top three overall market share in Canada1 and number two position in dried flower during the first quarter despite planned reductions in sales of lower margin branded products;
•Returned to the high end of its targeted gross margin range of 30-40% and delivered its highest quarter of adjusted EBITDA performance in three years; and
•Subsequent to quarter end, refinanced its syndicated Pure Sunfarms Term Loans, consolidating its three previous loans into one credit facility with two of its existing lenders. The new Canadian cannabis credit facility carries a variable interest rate that is currently below 8.0 percent, reflecting a 50 basis point improvement to the previous interest rate, as well as improved financial covenants and a maturity date of February 7, 2028, replacing its previous credit facilities maturing on February 7, 2026.

Netherlands Cannabis (Leli Holland)
•Commenced sales to Dutch coffeeshops in February 2025, consistent with the Company’s previously-disclosed timeline; and,
•Broke ground on a Phase II indoor cultivation facility in the town of Groningen. The Phase II facility is expected to be complete in Q1 2026 and quintuple annual production capacity.
U.S. Cannabis
•Balanced Health Botanicals' CBDistillery announced that its full range of hemp-derived gummies are now manufactured in-house at its GMP-certified facility south of Denver, Colorado. Internalization of manufacturing is expected to enable greater innovation, operational flexibility, and inventory control in the future; and,
•The Company's application for a Texas medicinal marijuana license remains pending review by the Department of Public Services. If awarded, the Company plans to work with its listing authority to structure an acceptable ownership structure and comply with all applicable regulatory requirements.
VF Fresh (Produce)
•Subsequent to quarter end, announced a transformative transaction to privatize certain assets and operations of its Fresh Produce segment. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will privatize Produce segment operations, including its Marfa II and Fort Davis greenhouses, and all of its produce distribution centers, through a series of asset and lease transfers, for total consideration of $40 million and a 37.9% equity ownership interest in Vanguard Food LP, a new, private-equity-backed joint venture with private investment firms including Sweat Equities.
•Vanguard is expected to be backstopped by additional capital commitments to execute a M&A roll-up strategy of other produce brands and assets in North America. The transaction is expected to close during the second quarter of 2025.
•Village Farms will retain ownership of all its Canadian greenhouse assets, and Texas-based Marfa I and Monahans greenhouse assets for potential future cannabis market optionality.
Corporate
•Appointed Yvonne Trupiano, who has led human resources functions for public and private companies across various industries and sizes, with the majority of her career at Fortune 500 global companies, as Executive Vice President and Global Chief Human Resources Officer;
•Subsequent to quarter end, the Nasdaq approved the Company’s request for a 180-calendar day extension (the “Extension”) to regain compliance with the minimum closing bid price of US$1.00 per share listing requirement (NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). As a result of the Extension, the Company now has until October 13, 2025 to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement; and
•Subsequent to quarter end, the Company amended its loan with Farm Credit Canada (“FCC Loan”) to among other things, replace the fixed charge ratio covenant with a more favorable liquidity coverage ratio covenant. This amendment was a result of the Company’s considerable expansion and growth of Village Farms’ business since entering into the original credit agreement in 2013, as well a recognition of the Company’s stronger strategic focus on its growing cannabis business.

(1)Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized earnings measure and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of the Company because it excludes non-recurring and other items that do not reflect our business performance. Adjusted EBITDA includes the Company’s 70% interest in Rose LifeScience through March 31, 2024, 80% interest in Rose LifeScience beginning on April 1, 2024, 85% interest in Leli through September 22, 2024, and our 100% interest in Leli beginning on September 23, 2024.
We caution that our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 may not be indicative of our future performance.

The decrease of $1,003, or 1%, was primarily due to a decrease in Canadian Cannabis sales of $2,609 resulting from an unfavorable impact of exchange rate fluctuations, and a decrease in U.S. Cannabis sales of $633, partially offset by an increase in VF Fresh sales of $1,327. For additional information, refer to “Segmented Results of Operations” below.

For additional information, refer to “Segmented Results of Operations” below.

Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $706 compared with $917 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease of $211, or 23%, was due to a decrease in the overall borrowing base and a decrease in the Company's interest rates on its various debt instruments.

Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $22 compared with $104 for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Loss Before Taxes
Loss before taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was ($6,132) compared with ($2,359) for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase of $3,773 was primarily due to the lower gross margins in VF Fresh, partially offset by the improved margins on Canadian Cannabis.
Net Loss Attributable to Village Farms International, Inc. Shareholders
Net loss attributable to Village Farms International, Inc. shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was ($6,703) compared with ($2,852) for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease of $3,851 was primarily due to lower gross margins in VF Fresh and higher selling, general, and administrative expenses in Canadian Cannabis, partially offset by the improved margins on Canadian Cannabis.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $81 compared with $3,591 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The change was mainly driven by decreased profitability of VF Fresh offset by improved margins on Canadian Cannabis.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of the Company because it excludes non-recurring and other items that do not reflect our business performance. Adjusted EBITDA includes the Company’s 70% interest in Rose LifeScience through March 31, 2024, 80% interest in Rose LifeScience beginning on April 1, 2024, 85% interest in Leli through September 22, 2024, and our 100% interest in Leli beginning on September 23, 2024.
CANADIAN CANNABIS SEGMENT RESULTS
The Canadian Cannabis segment consists of Pure Sunfarms and Rose LifeScience. The comparative analysis for Canadian Cannabis is based on the consolidated results of Pure Sunfarms and our interest in Rose LifeScience for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Beginning on April 1, 2024, our interest in Rose LifeScience increased from 70% to 80%, which is reflected in the results presented below.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
Sales
Canadian Cannabis net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $34,837 compared with $37,446 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease of $2,609, or 7%, was primarily driven by unfavorable exchange rate fluctuations of
approximately $2,258 and a decrease in net branded sales, reflecting a planned shift away from value-based product offerings, which was partially offset by an increase in international sales of 259%, primarily driven by continued strength in export volumes to Germany.
Canadian Cannabis continues to pay a burdensome excise tax on its branded sales (sales to provincial distributors). For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company incurred excise duties of $13,937 (C$20,016), or 38% of gross branded sales, compared with $19,703 (C$26,565), or 40% of gross branded sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease of $5,766 (C$6,259), or 29%, was due to a decrease in kilograms sold in the branded channel and the impact of exchange rate fluctuations. The Canadian excise duty is our single largest cost of participating in the branded adult-use market in Canada.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, 65% of net sales were generated from branded flower, pre-rolls and cannabis derivative products compared with 77% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Non-branded, international, and other sales accounted for 35% of Canadian Cannabis net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared with 23% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
The net average selling price of branded flower and pre-roll formats increased in 2025 compared to 2024. Excluding pre-roll formats, the average net selling price of branded flower increased by 11% in 2025 due to a lower ratio of sales for our value brand Fraser Valley Weed Co. The net average selling price of bulk non-branded flower increased by 33% and bulk trim increased by 43% in 2025, largely due to an increase in the market price, as well as a reduced need to move aged flower inventory compared to 2024.
The following table presents sales by Canadian Cannabis revenue stream, together with the impact of the excise tax, in U.S. dollars and Canadian dollars, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

Cost of Sales
Canadian Cannabis cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $22,362 compared with $27,938 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease of $5,576, or 20%, was primarily due to a decrease in volume (kilograms) packaged and sold of our branded and non-branded products and the impact of exchange rate fluctuations.
Gross Profit
Canadian Cannabis gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $12,475, a 31% increase compared to $9,508 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Canadian Cannabis gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 36% compared with 25% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in gross margin was due to higher sales volume of international and non-brand flower, as well as lower sales of value brands within the branded sales category.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Canadian Cannabis selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $8,762, or 25%, of sales compared with $7,704, or 21%, of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase of $1,058 was primarily due to higher commercial and marketing expenses and incremental integration costs.
Net Income
Canadian Cannabis net income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $3,032 compared with net income of $847 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in net income was primarily due to the improved margins, partially offset by an increase in the tax provision expense of $562 and an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA for Canadian Cannabis for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $6,698 compared with $4,073 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase of $2,695, or 64%, between periods was primarily due to improved margins in the Canadian Cannabis segment. For additional information, refer to the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net (loss) income in “Non-GAAP Measures—Reconciliation of Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA”.
U.S. CANNABIS SEGMENT RESULTS
The U.S. Cannabis segment consists of Balanced Health. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, U.S. Cannabis financial results are based on the results of Balanced Health.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
Sales
U.S. Cannabis net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $3,904 compared with $4,537 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease of $633, or 14%, was primarily due to new restrictions on CBD sales in an additional eight states beginning July 1, 2024 and lower direct-to-consumer sales resulting from the proliferation of unregulated hemp-derived products on the market. All U.S. Cannabis sales were generated in the United States, with gross sales composed of 94% e-commerce sales and 6% retail sales.
Cost of Sales
U.S. Cannabis cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $1,311 compared with $1,842 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease of $531, or 29%, was primarily due to cost efficiencies from the internalization of our gummy manufacturing and lower sales.
Gross Profit
U.S Cannabis gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased $102, or 4%, to $2,593, or a 66% gross margin, compared with $2,695, or a 59% gross margin, for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
U.S. Cannabis selling general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $2,535 compared with $3,406 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease of $871, or 26%, is due to more efficient marketing and brand spending and contract renegotiation.
Net Income (Loss)
U.S. Cannabis net income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $58 compared with net loss of ($711) for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase of $769 was primarily due to the lower selling, general, and administrative expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA
U.S. Cannabis adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $114 compared with ($615) for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The improvement of $729 was primarily due to the lower selling, general, and administrative expenses. For additional information, refer to the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net (loss) income in “Non-GAAP Measures—Reconciliation of Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA”.
NETHERLANDS CANNABIS SEGMENT RESULTS
The Netherlands Cannabis segment consists of Leli Holland. Leli Holland commenced sales during the first quarter of 2025. Leli Holland was not operational during the comparable quarter of 2024 and, as a result, comparative financial performance to the prior-year quarter is not meaningful.

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $486.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $285.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

PRODUCE SEGMENT RESULTS – VF FRESH
The produce segment, VF Fresh, consists of VFLP and VFCLP. VF Fresh’s comparative analysis are based on the consolidated results of VFLP and VFCLP for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
Sales
VF Fresh sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $37,421 compared with $36,094 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase of $1,327, or 4%, was primarily due to a 39% increase in volume from supply partners. This was partially offset by a lower average selling price due to weaker market prices.
The average selling price for all produce sold during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2024 was as follows: tomatoes changed (15%), peppers changed (34%), cucumbers changed (9%), and mini cucumbers changed (1%).
Cost of Sales
VF Fresh cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased by $8,919, or 27%, to $41,703 compared with $32,784 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase from Company-owned greenhouses of $4,306, an increase from supply partners of $3,565, and an increase in freight expense of $1,048. The increase in VF Fresh-owned greenhouses cost of sales was due to a negative impact to the overall crop resulting from dust storms that occurred in March 2025, the increase in supply partner costs were due to higher spot price contract commitments, and the increased freight costs were due to the increase in product volume.
Gross (Loss) Profit
VF Fresh gross loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was ($4,282) compared with a gross profit of $3,310 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was (11%) compared with 9% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decreases in both gross profit and gross margin percentage were due to the increase in cost of sales at the Company-owned greenhouses and lower margins on supply partner volumes, whereas during the prior year, the decreases in both gross profit and gross margin percentage were due to unfavorable market prices.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
VF Fresh selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased by $182, or 7%, to $2,875 (8% of sales) compared with $2,693 (7% of sales) for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Net (Loss) Income
VF Fresh net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was ($7,757) compared with a net income of $114 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease of $7,871 was primarily due to a lower gross margin.
Adjusted EBITDA
VF Fresh Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was ($5,122) compared with $2,028 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease of $7,150 in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a lower gross margin for the reasons described above. For additional information, refer to the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net (loss) income in “Non-GAAP Measures—Reconciliation of Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA”.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital Resources
At March 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents were $15,125 and working capital was $50,313, compared with cash and cash equivalents of $24,631 and working capital of $53,800 at December 31, 2024. We believe that our existing cash, cash generated from our operating activities and the availability under our Operating Loan and Pure Sunfarms Loans (each as defined below), will provide us with sufficient liquidity to meet our working capital needs, repayments of our long-term debt and future contractual obligations and fund our planned capital expenditures for the next 12 months. An additional potential source of liquidity is access to capital markets for additional equity or debt financing. We intend to use our cash on hand for daily operational funding requirements.

The Company is required to comply with financial covenants. At December 31, 2024, the Company was not in compliance with financial covenants related to the fixed charge coverage ratio under the FCC Term Loan (as defined below) and the PSF Term Loan (as defined below), for which the Company received waivers. The covenants were reinstated at the end of the first quarter for the PSF Term Loan and at the end of the fiscal year for the FCC Term Loan. On April 10, 2025, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “A&R Credit Agreement”) with FCC as the lender, which amended and restated the FCC Term Loan. Among other things, the A&R Credit Agreement replaced the current financial covenants with more favorable financial covenants . Under the Pure Sunfarms Secured Credit Facilities entered into on April 17, 2025, the Company is also required to maintain certain financial covenants. We can provide no assurance that we will be in compliance, or receive a waiver, for any non-compliance of the financial covenants. See “Risk Factors—Business and Operational Risk Factors—We are subject to restrictive covenants under our Credit Facilities” in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Accrued interest payable on the Credit Facilities and Pure Sunfarms Loans as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $353 and $271, respectively. These amounts are included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
FCC Term Loan
The Company has a term loan financing agreement with Farm Credit Canada ("FCC"), a Canadian creditor (the “FCC Term Loan”). The non-revolving variable rate term loan has a maturity date of May 3, 2027 and a balance of $20,329 on March 31, 2025 and $20,821 on December 31, 2024. The outstanding balance is repayable by way of monthly installments of principal and interest, with the balance and any accrued interest to be paid in full on May 3, 2027. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, borrowings under the FCC Term Loan agreement were subject to an interest rate of 7.87% and 8.12% per annum, respectively.
As collateral for the FCC Term Loan, the Company has provided promissory notes, a first mortgage on the VFF-owned Delta 1 and Texas greenhouse facilities, and general security agreements over its assets. In addition, the Company has provided full recourse guarantees and has granted security interests in respect of the FCC Term Loan. The carrying value of the assets and securities pledged as collateral as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $69,613 and $77,682, respectively.
On April 10, 2025, the Company entered into the A&R Credit Agreement with respect to the FCC Term Loan. Among other things, the A&R Credit Agreement (i) adds the Company as a new borrower, (ii) adds VF Clean Energy, Inc. as a new guarantor, and (iii) replaces the fixed charged ratio covenant with a more favorable liquidity ratio covenant.
Operating Loan
The Company has a revolving line of credit agreement with Bank of Montreal (the "Operating Loan").
On May 24, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to the Operating Loan, which extended the maturity date of the Operating Loan to May 24, 2027.

In addition, Pure Sunfarms has a revolving line of credit (the “PSF Revolving Line of Credit”) with a Canadian chartered bank. As described below, on April 17, 2025, Pure Sunfarms replaced the Pure Sunfarms Loans and the PSF Revolving Line of Credit with the Pure Sunfarms Secured Credit Facilities (as defined below).
As of March 31, 2025, the PSF Revolving Line of Credit could be drawn for advances of up to C$15,000 and had an outstanding balance of $0 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Interest under the PSF Term Loan was payable at the Canadian prime rate plus an applicable margin per annum, 6.95% as of March 31, 2025, payable quarterly. The PSF Term Loan would have matured on February 7, 2026.
The outstanding amount under the BDC Facility, a demand loan included in current liabilities was $2,939 on March 31, 2025 and $3,043 on December 31, 2024. Interest under the BDC Facility was payable at an interest rate of 8.70%, payable monthly, and the amount outstanding would have matured on December 31, 2031.
On April 17, 2025, the Company entered into a secured credit facility with a Canadian chartered bank as administrative agent with an aggregate borrowing capacity of C$37.4 million, consisting of a maximum C$10.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Pure Sunfarms Revolving Credit Facility”), and a C$27.4 million term loan facility (the “Pure Sunfarms Term Loan Facility”, and collectively with the Pure Sunfarms Revolving Credit Facility, the “Pure Sunfarms Secured Credit Facilities”). The Pure Sunfarms Secured Credit Facilities are secured by the Delta 2 and Delta 3 greenhouse facilities. The Pure Sunfarms Secured Credit Facilities will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes, and was used to replace, and repay remaining outstanding balances on, the Company’s (i) Pure Sunfarms Loans and (ii) the PSF Revolving Line of Credit. The credit and guarantee agreements related to the Pure Sunfarms Loans and the PSF Revolving Line of Credit were likewise terminated.
The Pure Sunfarms Secured Credit Facilities can be drawn for advances of up to C$10.0 million. The outstanding amount of the Pure Sunfarms Term Loan Facility will be repayable, on a quarterly basis, in an amount equal to C$1.0 million. Any amount remaining unpaid will be due and payable in full on the maturity date, which is on February 7, 2028.
The loans under the Pure Sunfarms Secured Credit Facilities will accrue interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, (a) the Canadian Prime Rate plus the applicable margin, or (b) the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin for the Pure Sunfarms Secured Credit Facility is determined based upon the leverage ratio.
The Pure Sunfarms Secured Credit Facilities also contain customary covenants, customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, financial covenants and events of default.

Operating Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, cash used in operating activities were ($6,376) and ($50), respectively. The operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 consisted of ($4,209) in changes in non-cash working capital items and ($2,167) in changes before non-cash working capital items, while operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 consisted of ($3,290) in changes in non-cash working capital items and $3,240 in changes before non-cash working capital items. The reduction when comparing the change in before non-cash working capital items for 2025 with 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in VF Fresh gross margin partially offset by improvements in Canadian Cannabis gross margin in 2025 compared with 2024.
Investing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, cash used in investing activities were ($2,839) and ($1,876), respectively. The increase in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to capital expenditures made to support VF Fresh, Canadian Cannabis, and U.S. Cannabis operations.
Financing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, cash used in financing activities were ($384) and ($1,442), respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, cash (used in) provided by financing activities consisted of debt repayments of ($1,384) and a draw of $1,000 from the Operating Loan. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, cash flows used by financing activities consisted of debt repayments of ($1,442).
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
We expect to meet our contractual obligations and commitments using our working capital and our other resources described under “Capital Resources” above. Other than with respect to our long-term debt described above, we currently do not have any material cash requirements in the near future.
Non-GAAP Measures
References in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis to “Adjusted EBITDA” are to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), as further adjusted to exclude foreign currency exchange gains and losses, share-based compensation, gains and losses on asset sales and the other adjustments set forth in the table below. In addition, we present below “Adjusted EBITDA – Constant Currency” which excludes the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. See “—Constant Currency” below. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA - Constant Currency are measures of operating performance that are not recognized under GAAP and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Therefore, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Investors are cautioned that our non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an alternative to net income or loss determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of our performance. Our non-GAAP measures are used as additional measures to evaluate the operating and financial performance of our segments. Management believes that our non-GAAP measures are important measures in evaluating the historical performance of the Company because it excludes non-recurring and other items that do not reflect our business performance.

(1)Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized earnings measure and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA presented for these segments may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of the Company because it excludes non-recurring and other items that do not reflect the underlying business performance of the Company.
Adjusted EBITDA – Constant Currency
To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have presented constant currency adjusted financial measures for sales, cost of sales, selling, general and administrative, other income (expense), operating (loss) income, loss from consolidated entities, net loss, and Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which are considered non-GAAP financial measures. We present constant currency information to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying operations performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. To present this information, current and comparative prior period income statement results in currencies other than U.S. dollars are converted into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates from the three month comparative period in 2024 rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the current period. All growth comparisons relate to the corresponding period in 2024. We have provided this non-GAAP financial information to aid investors in better understanding the performance of our segments without taking into account the effect of exchange rate fluctuations. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Quarterly Report should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The tables below set forth certain measures of consolidated results from continuing operations on a constant currency basis for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2024 on an as reported and constant currency basis (in thousands):

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
No accounting pronouncements recently issued or newly effective have had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are included in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
As described in Note 5, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements included in Part 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company considered qualitative factors in assessing for impairment indicators for the Company’s U.S. and Canadian Cannabis segments. As part of this assessment, the Company considered both external and internal factors, including overall financial performance and outlook. At March 31, 2025, the Company concluded that no impairment indicators existed as no events or circumstances occurred that would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value of the goodwill and intangible assets for its reporting units to be below their carrying amounts. At March 31, 2025, the carrying value of goodwill associated with our Cannabis – Canada segment was $42.4 million and the carrying value of intangible assets associated with our Cannabis – Canada segment was $20.9 million.
We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements, so we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Actual results could differ from the estimates we use in applying our critical accounting policies. We are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in materially different amounts being reported.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
As of March 31, 2025, our variable interest rate debt was primarily related to our Credit Facilities and Term Loans. Outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility and Term Loans bear interest at either the (a) Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or (b) Canadian Prime Rate, as defined in the agreement, plus an applicable margin. As of March 31, 2025, we had approximately $5,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding revolving loans under our Operating Loan with an interest rate of 8.0% and we had approximately $39,203 in aggregate principal amounts of our Term Loans with a weighted average interest rate of 7.8%. The current interest rates for outstanding revolving loans under our Credit Facility and Term Loans reflect basis point increases of approximately 0.7% over the comparable period in 2024.
Our interest expense is affected by the overall interest rate environment. Our variable rate interest debt subjects us to risk from increases in prevailing interest rates. This risk increases in the current inflationary environment, in which the Federal Reserve has increased interest rates, resulting in an increase in our variable interest rates and related interest expense. An additional 50 basis point increase in the applicable interest rates under our Credit Facility and Term Loan would have increased our interest expense by approximately $50 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and $59 for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
While we cannot predict our ability to refinance existing debt or the significance of the impact that interest rate movements will have on our existing debt, management evaluates our financial position on an ongoing basis.
Foreign Exchange Risk
As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Canadian/U.S. foreign exchange rate was C$1.00 = US$0.6966 and C$1.00 = US$0.7383, respectively. If all other variables remain constant, an increase of $0.10 in the Canadian dollar would have the following impact on the ending balances of certain statements of financial position items at March 31, 2025 and 2024 with the net foreign exchange gain or loss directly impacting net income (loss):

Our exposure to foreign exchange risk and the impact of foreign exchange rates are monitored by the Company’s management but generally the Company tries to match its sales (trade receivables) and vendor payments (trade payables) such that the net impact is not material.
Other than the interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk discussed above, there have been no material changes to our market risks from those disclosed in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2025, the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting.
Remediation of Previously Identified Material Weakness
As disclosed in Part II Item 9A Controls and Procedures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, we identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as the Company (i) did not effectively design and implement internal controls related to our information technology general controls (“ITGCs”) in the areas of user access and program change-management over the information technology (“IT”) system that is utilized to support the Produce segment’s financial reporting processes. Specifically, under our existing ITGCs, we determined that there were insufficient controls to limit user access to this system and to enable oversight of changes being made to the financial inputs under this system; and (ii) did not effectively design and implement internal controls over the review, approval, and documentation of manual journal entries by individuals separate from the preparer at our Produce segment which resulted in the unmitigated risk of management override of manual journal entries.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company’s management designed and implemented corrective actions to remediate the control deficiencies that contributed to the material weaknesses.
The remediation actions included:
Information Technology
•Enhanced risk assessment and control identification procedures for our Produce segment’s system environment;
•Enhanced existing controls to address the design and operation of IT general controls within our Produce segment’s IT environment in order to, among other things, limit privileged user access; and
•Implemented controls around timely identification and review of system access and changes. Enhancing and maintaining policy documentation underlying IT general controls to promote knowledge transfer upon personnel and function changes.
Journal Entries
•Enhanced existing controls to ensure that manual journal entries recorded in our financial records are properly reviewed and approved, preventing the potential for management override of controls.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company completed our testing of the operating effectiveness of the implemented controls and found them to be effective. Based on the steps implemented, management concluded that we have remediated the previously disclosed material weaknesses as of March 31, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, has reviewed the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act), other than to address the material weaknesses described above, during the three months ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time the Company is engaged in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe any current legal proceedings are material to our business.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our business, operations, and financial condition are subject to various risks and uncertainties. The risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 13, 2025, and the risk factor described below, should be carefully considered, together with the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our other filings filed with the SEC in connection with evaluating us, our business, and the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Our Common Shares may be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market if we do not regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirements by October 13, 2025.
On October 18, 2024, the Company received notification from Nasdaq that the Company is not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement for 30 consecutive trading days from September 6, 2024 to October 17, 2024 (the “Notification”). As set forth in the Notification, the Company had until April 16, 2025 to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement (the “Compliance Period”). On April 21, 2025, Nasdaq approved the Company’s request for a 180-calendar day extension (the “Extension”) to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. The Extension follows the expiration on April 16, 2025 of the Compliance Period. As a result of the Extension, the Company now has until October 13, 2025 (the “New Compliance Period”) to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement.
In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement by the end of the New Compliance Period, the Company may be subject to delisting of the Common Shares from the Nasdaq, at which time the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. However, if the Company fails to remedy this deficiency during the New Compliance Period, Nasdaq may provide notice that the Company’s Common Shares are subject to delisting.
We can provide no assurance that we will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement by the end of the New Compliance Period. Additionally, even if we regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement there can be no assurance that we will continue to maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq requirements for listing our Common Shares on Nasdaq. The delisting of our Common Shares from the Nasdaq Capital Market would likely result in decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the price and trading of our Common Shares and may adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital or to enter into strategic transactions. The delisting of our Common Shares from the Nasdaq Capital Market would also make it more difficult for our shareholders to sell our Common Shares in the public market.
The Company may fail to realize the expected benefits of privatizing certain assets and operations of its Fresh Produce segment (the "Privatizing").
The Company believes that the Privatizing will provide certain benefits to the Company and its shareholders, including enabling the Company to focus on its growing international cannabis business, repositioning its fresh produce business to flourish independently with new strategic capital partners and improving the upside potential for its produce business. However, these expected benefits may not be achieved, or may take longer than expected to realize, and other assumptions upon which the Company had determined the benefits of the Privatizing may prove to be incorrect. The produce business will be operated through a joint venture, in which the Company has a minority interest. The Company cannot control the actions of its joint venture partners, including any non-performance, default, or bankruptcy of the joint venture partners. As a result, the Company may have limited control over such arrangements and experience returns that are not proportional to the risks and resources contributed. To the extent that the anticipated benefits of the Privatizing are not achieved, or take longer than expected to achieve, the results of operations and the financial condition of the Company may suffer, which may materially adversely affect the Company’s business, operations and financial performance and cash flows.
