2025 Results of Operations
($000s)

Subsequent Sales & Operational Highlights

Cascadia completed its first harvests on February 19^th, 2026. With the facility fully planted, management expects monetization in late Q2 2026, with production quality projected to reach flagship-brand standards by mid-2026. The Company is also anticipating the results of a GACP audit and its related certification, which we expect to receive in the coming months.

2026 Outlook

Leveraging Our New Scale

Demand for our flower products has consistently exceeded our available supply. We are building the teams, systems, and infrastructure needed to support the next phase of growth. With the Cascadia facility now licensed and fully operational, 2026 marks a pivotal year for Rubicon to address these supply constraints. The combined annual production capacity of 15,500 kg across our two complementary facilities, the Pacifica greenhouse and the Cascadia indoor facility, positions us well to meet growing domestic and international demand for premium cannabis. Furthermore, this figure reflects current operational output, with the rated capacity of both facilities sitting above this level. As operations mature and efficiencies are realized, we expect production to increase meaningfully over the next several years, supporting our ability to serve a broader customer base and fulfill larger supply commitments.

The acquisition, licensing, and rapid operationalization of the Cascadia Facility is a direct demonstration of our commitment to capturing this opportunity and our ability to execute with speed and purpose. The facility is now fully planted and we have completed its first harvests. Additionally, an important near‑term milestone is the anticipated Good Agricultural and Collection Practices (“GACP”) certification for Cascadia. Achieving this certification will support our ability to meet international medical market requirements and enhance our credentials in maintaining quality and consistency throughout our portfolio.

Continued Emphasis on Genetics

Our deep genetics library remains a core strategic differentiator. In 2026, we are focused on demonstrating the depth and consistency of that library through a disciplined cadence of new genetic launches across our brand portfolio. Recent additions include BC Organic Lemolada, and BC Organic Mandarin Zktz, which were introduced into the market in early 2026. We believe a steady pipeline of sought-after cultivars is essential to maintain our leadership in the premium and super-premium segments of the Canadian market and to drive long-term consumer loyalty.

International

Building on the success of our inaugural international shipments in 2025, we are moving forward on our international strategy in 2026. With an upcoming branded launch, this will mark the international introduction of the 1964 Supply Co™ brand to key markets. This launch will represent a meaningful step in establishing Rubicon’s premium brands on the global stage.

Margin Improvements

Improving gross margin is a key financial priority for 2026 and we are actively pursuing several initiatives to achieve this. Central to our approach is leveraging the increased scale of our two-facility growing operations, which will reduce our need to rely on third-party suppliers and allow us to more efficiently absorb our fixed production costs across the facilities. Additionally, we are committed to improving our yields as we continue to explore promising methods towards meaningful cultivation improvements. Yield gains derived both from genetic selection and facility optimization are expected to be key contributors to margin expansion over the course of the year.

While we are well-positioned to meet the growing demand for our product, we do note that softness in the B.C. market, partly attributable to a strike that occurred towards the end of 2025, has created near-term headwinds that are expected to influence our early 2026 results. We continue to monitor this market closely and remain confident in its long-term recovery.

Financial Growth

For 2026, we are forecasting growth in both net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, driven by our newly realized capacity increases and ongoing strategic initiatives. We anticipate that gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA will be under pressure in the first half of 2026 reflecting continued investment in the ramp-up of the Cascadia Facility ahead of its first commercial harvest, and resulting in higher near-term cash outflows. As production from Cascadia comes online and revenues are realized, we expect a meaningful acceleration in gross margins, Adjusted EBITDA, and operating cash inflows through the second half of 2026. Based on our current view of demand for our products, we remain confident that the growth exhibited in 2025, which culminated in record revenues, will continue into 2026.

Conference Call

The Company will be hosting a conference call to discuss 2025 results on Tuesday, March 24, 2026. Conference call details are as follows:
