AYR Wellness Reports First Quarter 2024 Results
Q1 Revenue up 3% Q/Q to $118.0 Million, Excluding Discontinued Operations
Q1 GAAP Loss from Operations Improved to $2.0 Million, Excluding Discontinued Operations
Q1 Adjusted EBITDA1 up over 10% Y/Y to $29.1 Million, with Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 25%
Company generated free cash flow for the quarter and expects to for FY2024
MIAMI, May 15, 2024 – AYR Wellness Inc. (CSE: AYR.A, OTCQX: AYRWF) (“AYR” or the “Company”), a leading vertically integrated U.S. multi-state cannabis operator, is reporting financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024. Unless otherwise noted, all results are presented in U.S. dollars.
David Goubert, President & CEO of AYR, said, “2024 continues to be about execution for AYR, furthering the progress we made in 2023 by focusing on improving product quality and consistency, building a loyal retail customer base, rebuilding our CPG brand platform, and continuing to prioritize cost controls. I want to thank our team for their continued effort against these goals. First quarter results reflect continued progress with modest sequential revenue growth, adjusted EBITDA margins in line with long-term targets of 25% and positive free cash flow for the period.
“Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Justice's groundbreaking decision in April to recommend the reclassification of cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III represents a significant moment for our industry that brings us one step closer to federal reform. This expected policy shift validates AYR’s commitment to building a sustainable business that will win in the long-term, and while we await next steps on implementation of this new policy, AYR intends to continue to improve and refine its operations to position for accelerated profitable growth.
“Our team is also acutely focused on positioning AYR for success ahead of the key state-level catalysts on the horizon in Ohio, where we anticipate converting to adult-use over the summer, and Florida and Pennsylvania, where we hope to see adult-use pass later this year. With only 15 of AYR’s 91 dispensaries operating in adult-use markets, we are poised to take advantage of the significant growth opportunity that the transition to adult-use presents across the majority of our footprint, without materially increasing our fixed cost base. With a strong asset base and tailwinds for the regulatory environment, we look forward to generating meaningful, sustainable, and profitable financial growth for years to come.”

First Quarter and Recent Highlights

| · | Opened the relocated 1,650 square foot AYR Cannabis Dispensary Tallahassee, conveniently located in the heart of the state capital. |

Proceeds will be used to invest further in the Company’s Florida business, as well as for general working capital purposes. |
| · | In February 2024, the Company completed a series of debt restructuring transactions contemplated by the Support Agreement entered into in November 2023,which retired or deferred the maturity of all of the Company’s Senior Notes due 2024 and certain other debt totaling nearly $400 million by two years to 2026, raised approximately $40 million of gross proceeds in new capital through the issuance of $50 million of additional Senior Notes maturing in December 2026, issued 35 million New Shares and Backstop shares to existing Noteholders, and issued 23 million anti-dilutive warrants (CSE: AYR.WT.U). These warrants, exercisable at $2.12 and expiring in February 2026, are currently expected to result in approximately $50M in proceeds for the Company upon exercise.

Financial Statements
Certain financial information reported in this news release is extracted from AYR’s Consolidated Financial Statements and MD&A for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Ayr files its financial statements and MD&A on SEDAR+ and with the SEC. All financial information contained in this news release is qualified in its entirety by reference to such financial statements and MD&A.
Definition and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
The Company reports certain non-GAAP measures that are used to evaluate the performance of its businesses and the performance of their respective segments, as well as to manage their capital structures. As non-GAAP measures generally do not have a standardized meaning, they may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Securities regulators require such measures to be clearly defined and reconciled with their most comparable GAAP measures.
Rather, these are provided as additional information to complement those GAAP measures by providing further understanding of the results of the operations of the Company from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation, nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s financial information reported under GAAP. Non-GAAP measures used to analyze the performance of the Company’s businesses include “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Adjusted Gross Profit.”
The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s performances and may be useful to investors because they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. These financial measures are intended to provide investors with supplemental measures of the Company’s operating performances and thus highlight trends in the Company’s core businesses that may not otherwise be apparent when solely relying on the GAAP measures.
Adjusted EBITDA
“Adjusted EBITDA” represents (loss) income from operations, as reported under GAAP, before interest and tax, adjusted to exclude non-core costs, other non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization, and further adjusted to remove non-cash stock-based compensation, impairment expense, the accounting for the incremental costs to acquire cannabis inventory in a business combination, acquisition related costs, and start-up costs.
Adjusted Gross Profit
“Adjusted Gross Profit” represents gross profit, as reported, adjusted to exclude the accounting for the incremental costs to acquire cannabis inventory in a business combination, interest, depreciation and amortization and start-up costs.
A reconciliation of how Ayr calculates Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit is provided in the tables appended below. Additional reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit and other disclosures concerning non-GAAP measures are provided in our MD&A for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this MD&A are forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws, including, but not limited to, those statements relating to the Company and its financial capacity and availability of capital and other statements that are not historical facts. These statements are based upon certain material factors, assumptions, and analyses that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making a forecast or projection, including experience of the Company, as applicable, and perception of historical trends, current conditions, and expected future developments, as well as other factors that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances. Forward-looking statements are provided for the purpose of presenting information about management’s current expectations and plans relating to the future and readers are cautioned that such statements may not be appropriate for other purposes. These statements may include, without limitation, statements regarding the operations, business, financial condition, expected financial results, performance, prospects, opportunities, priorities, targets, goals, ongoing objectives, strategies, and outlook of the Company. Forward-looking statements are often identified by the words “may”, “would”, “could”, “should”, “will”, “intend”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “project”, “expect”, “target”, “continue”, “forecast”, “design”, “goal” or negative versions thereof and other similar expressions.
Forward-looking estimates and assumptions involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially. While Ayr believes there is a reasonable basis for these assumptions, such estimates may not be met. These estimates represent forward-looking information. Actual results may vary and differ materially from the estimates.
Assumptions and Risks
Forward-looking information in this release is subject to the assumptions and risks as described in our MD&A for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
