(“Village Farms” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: VFF) today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025. All figures are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. The Company simultaneously announced in a separate news release that is has entered into a definitive agreement with a newly-formed holding company (“Vanguard Food LP” or “Vanguard”) backed by private investment firms including Sweat Equities to privatize certain assets and operations of its Fresh Produce division. The transaction will create a new, privately held joint venture with Village Farms as a minority investor, simultaneously enabling the Company to focus on its growing global cannabis business and repositioning its fresh produce business to flourish independently with new strategic capital partners. 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. Management Commentary President and Chief Executive Officer Michael A. DeGiglio commented, “Today’s announcements reflect a transformative change for Village Farms which we believe will unlock tremendous long-term value for both our cannabis and produce businesses. Our ownership interest in Vanguard improves upside potential for our legacy produce business, with experienced industry partners who have created significant value for shareholders in the past and are committed to executing a roll-up strategy of other produce assets. It also allows our proven cannabis teams to focus on growing our global cannabis business, while maintaining substantial future expansion potential to continue building our reputation as one of the largest and most respected scaled cultivators and marketers of cannabis on the planet.” “Our first quarter results demonstrate success in our strategy to drive more profitable sales in Canadian Cannabis, with our strongest quarter of adjusted EBITDA performance in three years and another quarter of healthy cash flow from operations. Sales of higher margin medical exports from Canada grew 285% year-over-year, contributing to gross margin expansion in Canadian Cannabis to 36% and placing us firmly on track to meet our stated target of tripling international export sales in 2025. We are maintaining a top market share position in Canada despite our reduction in lower-margin branded sales, and feel confident in our ability to drive operating leverage through the business as our international revenues continue to increase.” “The first quarter also saw the initial contribution of our first European recreational cannabis sales through our Leli Holland subsidiary in the Netherlands, where sales began in late February. Our Phase I operations are now fully ramped, and we are feeling very confident about the quality of our products and position in this new marketplace. We are continuing to introduce new products into the market and expect to complete our Phase II facility in Groningen in Q1 2026. The completion of our Phase II facility is expected to quintuple our annual production capacity, and given the more favorable margin profile of our Netherlands recreational sales, we believe this will position us to drive a very strong year of profitable growth in 2026.” First Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights(All comparable periods are for the first quarter of 2024 unless otherwise stated) Consolidated Results Consolidated performance was impacted by a $4.3 million incremental accounting charge related to increased cost of sales in Fresh Produce due to the impact of dust storms that occurred at Texas facilities in March and April, negatively impacting the overall crop yield from greenhouses for the crop ending in June 2025;Consolidated sales were $77.1 million compared with $78.1 million;Consolidated net loss was ($6.7 million), or ($0.06) per share compared to ($2.9 million), or ($0.3) per share;Consolidated adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) was $0.1 million compared with $3.6 million; andConsolidated cash flow from operations was ($6.4 million) compared with ($50,000).
