Organigram Reports Record Second Quarter Fiscal 2025 Results

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Organigram Global Inc. (NASDAQ: OGI) (TSX: OGI), (the “Company” or “Organigram”), Canada's #1 cannabis company by market share, announced its record results for the second quarter ended March 31, 2025 (“Q2 Fiscal 2025”). The Q2 Fiscal 2025 results include a full quarter of consolidated financials from the Company's acquisition of Motif Labs Ltd. ("Motif") on December 6, 2024. Q2 FISCAL 2025 HIGHLIGHTS Gross revenue increased 79% to $102.8 million from $57.4 million in the same prior year period. Net revenue increased 74% to $65.6 million from $37.6 million in the same prior year period. International revenue increased 177% to $6.1 million from $2.2 million in the same prior year period. Adjusted gross margin1 increased to $21.9 million or 33%, from $11.6 million or 31% in the same prior year period. Motif integration now expected to exceed original estimate of $10 million to provide approximately $15 million in annual cost synergies. Adjusted EBITDA1 increased to $4.9 million from $(1.0) million in the same prior year period. Total cash position of approximately $83.4 million2 and negligible debt. Maintained #1 market share position in Canada — #1 in vapes, #1 in pre-rolls, #1 in milled flower, #1 in hash, #1 in pure CBD gummies, #3 in edibles, #3 in dried flower3. Acquired Collective Project Limited ("Collective Project"), marking entry into the fast-growing U.S. and Canadian beverage categories, with current distribution in 10 states and six provinces. Closed third and final $41.5 million tranche of $124.6 million follow on investment from BAT. “Our record revenue this quarter reflects the strength of our brands and our ability to execute across both domestic and international markets,” said Beena Goldenberg, Chief Executive Officer. “We are unlocking meaningful global growth potential — from increasing sales into key international markets like Germany, to our entrance into the U.S. hemp-derived beverage space. We expect this momentum to continue as we further strengthen our leadership in Canada and head into the seasonally stronger back half of the year.” SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2025 FINANCIAL OVERVIEW Net revenue: Net revenue increased 74% to $65.6 million, from $37.6 million in the second quarter ended March 31, 2024 ("Q2 Fiscal 2024"), primarily driven by contributions from the Motif acquisition, as well as organic growth in recreational and international sales. Adjusted Gross margin4: Adjusted gross margin was $21.9 million, or 33% of net revenue, compared to $11.6 million, or 31%, in Q2 Fiscal 2024. The increase was primarily attributed to higher average selling prices, product mix, and higher international sales. The adjusted gross margin of 33% in Q2 Fiscal 2025 reflects Motif's margin before full synergy realization. Organigram’s standalone adjusted gross margin excluding Motif was 37% in the quarter. Management expects adjusted gross margin to improve over the coming quarters as Motif acquisition related synergies are realized. Selling, general & administrative ("SG&A") expenses: SG&A increased 11% to $22.5 million from $20.3 million in Q2 Fiscal 2024. The increase was attributable to the inclusion of Motif SG&A in our consolidated financials as well as higher trade investments to support the growth of the business. As a proportion of net revenue, SG&A decreased to 34%, compared to 54% in Q2 Fiscal 2024, reflecting improved operating leverage. Net income: Net income was $42.5 million compared to a net loss of $27.1 million in Q2 Fiscal 2024. The increase in net income from the prior period is primarily attributable to higher fair value gains recognized in relation to top-up-rights of BAT and other financial instruments. Adjusted EBITDA4: Adjusted EBITDA was $4.9 million compared to $(1.0) million in adjusted EBITDA in Q2 Fiscal 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to higher recreational sales, including Motif contributions, international revenue, and operational efficiency gains. Net cash used in operating activities before working capital changes: Net cash used in operating activities was $1.6 million, compared to $8.3 million cash used in Q2 Fiscal 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to higher adjusted gross margin4 in Q2 Fiscal 2025. “Our Q2 results continue to demonstrate our growing scale. We have made incremental investments into Motif which have allowed us to further increase the expected synergy realization up to $15 million annualized from our prior estimate of $10 million. Furthermore, through targeted investments in working capital we are in a good position to capitalize on our seasonally stronger months in the second half of the year,” said Greg Guyatt, Chief Financial Officer. “With a roadmap for improving gross margins, and growing contribution from higher-margin international sales, we see a clear path to sustained profitability and continued financial strength as we balance growth and controlling costs.” CANADIAN RECREATIONAL MARKET INTRODUCTIONS As Canada's market leader in recreational cannabis, Organigram remains committed to delivering consumer focused innovations and products to its customers.

Organigram has commercialized the first product resulting from PDC research — Edison Sonics: gummies utilizing Organigram's Fast Acting Soluble Technology (FASTTM). Follow-on Strategic Investment from BAT and creation of "Jupiter" Strategic Investment Pool On November 6, 2023, Organigram announced a $124.6 million follow-on investment from BAT and the creation of "Jupiter", a strategic investment pool established to expand Organigram’s geographic footprint and capitalize on emerging growth opportunities. The final $41.5 million tranche closed in February 2025. $59 million of the Jupiter fund remains available to support continued expansion in the U.S. and other international markets in compliance with applicable laws. JUPITER STRATEGIC INVESTMENT POOL Organigram made its first significant European strategic investment to expand its presence in the European cannabis market with a $21 million investment in Sanity Group GmbH ("Sanity Group"), a leading German cannabis company. Our investment in Sanity Group was supported by an expanded supply agreement, making it one of our largest customers. Since the April 1, 2024 expansion of Germany’s medical cannabis program, the market has grown at least 4x and continues to show strong growth potential. Sanity Group is uniquely positioned, having already submitted applications for adult-use recreational pilot projects in Berlin, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, and Bremen. Approval is pending from the Institute of Food & Nutrition, which oversees the pilot projects. Jupiter has also deployed US$2 million into Steady State LLC (d/b/a Open Book Extracts), a U.S.-based company specializing in hemp-derived cannabinoid ingredients. OTHER INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENTS Prior to the establishment of Jupiter, Organigram had already made a US$7 million strategic investment in U.S.-based Phylos Bioscience Inc., a leader in seed-based technology. The Company expects to further leverage lower-cost seed-based technology over time. On March 31, 2025, Organigram acquired Collective Project, which enabled it to enter the beverage category, with hemp-derived THC beverage distribution in 10 U.S. states and THC beverage distribution in six Canadian provinces. Organigram is exploring additional U.S. and international investment opportunities that align with the Company's strategy to establish itself as a global leader. INTERNATIONAL SALES In Q2 Fiscal 2025, Organigram achieved $6.1 million in international sales and expects international sales to increase in the second half of fiscal 2025 versus the first half. Organigram has supply agreements with partners in Germany, U.K., and Australia, and is evaluating additional global partnership opportunities. Organigram's investment in Sanity Group resulted in the expansion of their previous supply agreement. The agreement is expected to be further expanded upon Organigram receiving EU-GMP certification of its Moncton facility, expected in the coming months. Collective Project has begun generating U.S. recreational revenue from hemp-derived THC beverage sales.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures This news release refers to certain financial performance measures (including adjusted gross margin, adjusted gross margin % and adjusted EBITDA) that are not defined by and do not have a standardized meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Non-IFRS financial measures are used by management to assess the financial and operational performance of the Company. The Company believes that these non-IFRS financial measures, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, enable investors to evaluate the Company’s operating results, underlying performance and prospects in a similar manner to the Company’s management. As there are no standardized methods of calculating these non-IFRS measures, the Company’s approaches may differ from those used by others, and accordingly, the use of these measures may not be directly comparable. Accordingly, these non-IFRS measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure that the Company defines as net income (loss) before: net of financing costs; income tax expense (recovery); depreciation, amortization, impairment, normalization of depreciation add-back due to changes in depreciable assets resulting from impairment charges, (gain) loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment (per the consolidated statement of cash flows); share-based compensation (per the consolidated statement of cash flows); share of loss (gain) from investments in associates including impairment loss; change in fair value of contingent consideration; change in fair value of derivative liabilities, other financial assets and preferred shares; expenditures incurred in connection with research and development ("R&D") activities (net of depreciation); unrealized gain on changes in fair value of biological assets; realized fair value on inventories sold and other inventory charges; provisions and net realizable value adjustments related to inventory and biological assets; government subsidies, insurance recoveries and other non-operating expenses (income); legal provisions (recoveries); ERP implementation costs; transaction costs; share issuance costs; and provision for expected credit losses. Adjusted EBITDA is intended to provide a proxy for the Company’s operating cash flow and derive expectations of future financial performance for the Company, and excludes adjustments that are not reflective of current operating results. Adjusted gross margin is a non-IFRS measure that the Company defines as net revenue less cost of sales, before the effects of (i) unrealized gain on changes in fair value of biological assets; (ii) realized fair value on inventories sold and other inventory charges; (iii) provisions and impairment of inventories and biological assets; and (iv) provisions to net realizable value. Adjusted gross margin % is calculated by dividing adjusted gross margin by net revenue. Management believes that these measures provide useful information to assess the profitability of our operations as they represent the normalized gross margin generated from operations and exclude the effects of non-cash fair value adjustments on inventories and biological assets, which are required by IFRS. The most directly comparable measure to adjusted EBITDA, calculated in accordance with IFRS is net income (loss) and beginning on page 6 of this press release is a reconciliation to such measure. The most directly comparable measure to adjusted gross margin calculated in accordance with IFRS is gross margin before fair value changes to biological assets and inventories sold and beginning on page 6 of this press release is a reconciliation to such measure.
