(“Avicanna” or “Company”) (TSX: AVCN) (OTCQX: AVCNF) (FSE: 0NN) a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development, manufacturing, and commercialization of plant-derived cannabinoid-based products is pleased to announce and report the results of Q3 2025.

Management Commentary:

“Q3 reflects the continued progress of our strategy to build a diversified and sustainable biopharmaceutical business. We are pleased with the impact of our medical affairs initiatives and the strengthened engagement within the Canadian medical community, which have contributed to consecutive quarters of revenue growth in Canada. We also continued to translate our scientific leadership into tangible value through new IP and global collaborations. Despite short-term margin pressures, we remain confident in our path toward sustainable profitability as we stay focused on disciplined execution and delivering long-term value for our shareholders,” stated Aras Azadian, CEO of Avicanna Inc.

Q2 2025 Financial Highlights:

• Revenue: The Company generated revenue of $6.40 million and $18.88 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025. Canadian revenue increased by 4%, marking a second consecutive quarter of revenue growth across Canadian business units. This is a direct result of increased investment in medical affairs initiatives. International revenue also increased by approximately 6% as compared to the second quarter of 2025.
• Gross Profit and Margin: Gross profit of $3.15 million and $9.88 million for the three and nine-month periods. Resulting in gross margins of 49% and 52%, respectively. This represents a short-term reduction in gross margin from 57% for the prior year three-month period and is due to non-recurring costs, the Canada Post strike and one-time adjustments. The nine-month margin represents a slight improvement from 50% in the prior period and was largely a result of sales mix changes from product sales to licensing and service revenue.
• Adjusted EBITDA: The Company reported an adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.79 million which marks a decrease over the respective three-month period in 2024. The nine-month adjusted EBITDA loss was $0.61 million, which marks a slight improvement over the nine-month period loss of $0.72 million during 2024. The short-term reduction in adjusted EBITDA is largely a result of the reduction in gross margins attributed to non-recurring factors and one-time corrections.

• Canadian commercial advancements: Canadian commercial advancements in the third quarter across all business units resulted in record sale of 62,987 units, representing a 39% increase compared to the same period in 2024.
