Overview

We are a multi-state cannabis operator with licenses to operate in Nevada, California, Florida, and Illinois.

As of June 30, 2025, we employed approximately 785 full-time and 71 part-time employees and remain focused on providing our customers with the best products, best services, and an experiential shopping experience at our superstore-themed dispensaries, while expanding our products and sales through neighborhood stores. Each of our state operations is held in state-focused subsidiaries: (a) Newtonian Principles, Inc. for California licensed cannabis dispensing and distribution activities, (b) Next Green Wave, LLC for California licensed cannabis cultivation, production and distribution activities, (c) MM Development Company, Inc. for all licensed Nevada cannabis cultivation, production, distribution, and dispensing activities, (d) VidaCann, LLC (“VidaCann”) which holds our Florida Medical Marijuana Treatment Center (“MMTC”) license, and (e) Planet 13 Illinois, LLC (“Planet 13 Illinois”) which holds our Illinois social-equity justice impaired dispensing license. We have focused on our large-store dispensing stores as superstores which offer an experiential approach to our customers, including drones, robotics, 3-D mapping projection, cannabis-culture inspired social-media backdrops for customer interaction, customer facing production, one-on-one sales staffing and customer education, and other interactive marketing elements to differentiate from more traditional dispensing locations, which we refer to herein as “neighborhood stores”. Each of our cannabis facilities is state-licensed as an adult-use cannabis facility, a medical cannabis facility, or a dual-use facility allowing for both adult-use and medical cannabis licensed activity, as designated below in the state-by-state breakdown.

Nevada

As of June 30, 2025, we held the following licensed cannabis operations in Nevada: (a) one dual-licensed dispensary superstore adjacent to the Las Vegas Strip with 24,000 square feet of licensed dispensary (the “Planet 13 Las Vegas Superstore”), (b) one adult-use “neighborhood store” at 2,300 square feet of licensed dispensary (the “Medizin dispensary”), (c) three dual-licensed production facilities, one of which is co-located and customer-facing at the Planet 13 Las Vegas SuperStore with 18,500 square feet of licensed production, (d) three dual-licensed cultivation facilities, one with approximately 16,100 square foot indoor cultivation facility under perpetual harvest cycle, a second with 45,000 square feet co-located with our production license at that facility, and a small-indoor rural site in Beatty, Nevada that is expandable up to 2,300,000 square feet of greenhouse located on 80-acres owned by us, also co-located with our production license at that facility, (e) one cannabis distribution license and (f) one cannabis consumption license operating as Dazed! Consumption Lounge, a 3,000 square foot location inside the Planet 13 Las Vegas Superstore. At the Planet 13 Las Vegas Superstore, we also offer ancillary services to our customers, including a restaurant (currently closed and awaiting a new tenant operator) with a liquor license, a retail store, and our online cannabidiol (“CBD”) store which also sells products in our facility.

California

As of June 30, 2025, we held the following licensed operations in California: (a) an adult-use dispensary superstore co-located with a distribution license at our 33,000 square foot facility in Santa Ana (the “Planet 13 OC Superstore”), and (b) one dual-use and two adult-use cultivation licenses along with a nursery license and distribution license at our 35,000 square foot cultivation facility, and one Type P production license at a 4,000 square foot facility.

Florida

As of June 30, 2025, we are continuing capital outlays to utilize our Florida MMTC license issued by the Florida Department of Health that was acquired through our acquisition of VidaCann. The VidaCann acquisition added a cultivation and processing facility, a production facility and a 26 retail store network, to which we have added six additional locations, bringing the total number of medical dispensaries we operate in Florida to 32. We also hold a 23-acre parcel of real property, inclusive of a 10,500 square foot building, near Ocala, Florida that is currently listed for sale. The property previously received Florida OMMU approvals for cultivation, processing, and dispensing activities. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as part of our Florida expansion, we have entered into four leases for additional dispensing locations in Florida, which remain subject to completion of tenant improvements and regulatory inspection prior to sales to customers.

Illinois

As of June 30, 2025 we operate one dispensary in Waukegan, Illinois. We have begun to introduce our exclusive brands of products in the Illinois market starting with the HaHa line of infused gummy products currently selling in the Planet 13 Waukegan dispensary. We intend to expand the sale of these exclusive products to 3rd party dispensaries in the Illinois market through our wholesale distribution network in the second half of 2025.

Competitive Conditions

The markets in which we operate are highly competitive markets with increased competition by larger and better financed competitors, as well as competition from new entrants. Competition has become more intense as competitors offer an increasing number of diversified products and engage in price competition in all markets. Planet 13 is now promoting price matching and enhancements to its loyalty program to help attract and retain customers in light of this competitive environment.

We expect to continue to focus on several areas, including customer experience, product innovation, production efficiencies, marketing and branding, and ongoing cost control and reductions. The management team constantly monitors ongoing developments in the cannabis and related industries to help us remain competitive. We have been closely tracking the illicit market for cannabis and manufacturers and retailers of intoxicating hemp products as the illicit market also has a direct financial impact on our business.

Recent Developments

The U.S. government recently announced tariffs on goods imported from various countries, which have led to reciprocal tariffs and other trade measures. The effects from these new tariffs and trade measures did not have a material impact on our profitability in 2025. We are actively monitoring the tariff developments and any potential impacts. We do not expect them to have a material impact on our business, cost structure, or supply chain. In addition, the adoption of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act is unlikely to have any material impact on Planet 13 and its business.

Results of Operations

27

Three and Six months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024

Revenue, net of Discounts

The Company experienced a decrease in net revenue of $4,233,893, down 13.6% from $31,088,254 during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and an increase of $920,443, up 1.7% from $53,965,725 during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase during the six months ended June 30, 2025 is primarily attributable to the acquisition of VidaCann that closed on May 10, 2024, so results for the six months ended June 30, 2024 include only six weeks of VidaCann operations that were owned by the Company in the prior year period. The overall revenue reduction in the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily driven by price compression in all markets and an increase in new dispensaries in the Florida market. The Company saw a reduction in the number of customers at the Planet 13 Las Vegas Superstore compared to the prior year, and decreases in revenue from both retail operations and wholesale operations in California and Nevada. We believe that a decline in tourism, combined with an overall reduction in the disposable income of our customers during the six months ended June 30, 2025, had a negative impact on the number of tourists and local customers visiting the Planet 13 Las Vegas Superstore and our other retail locations.

Details of net revenue by product category are as follows:

Gross Profit

Gross profit margin for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was 43.4% compared to 50.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and was 43.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to 48.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decreases in gross profit margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was a result of price compression seen in retail sales channels, as well as pricing pressure in the Nevada and California wholesale markets.

The costs of internal cultivation in the three months ended June 30, 2025 were consistent with the prior period as the Company continues to focus on producing strains with highest yields and THC content across all of our cultivation facilities. The cost of internal cultivation at our VidaCann operations improved during the three months ended June 30, 2025 as upgrades and efficiency measures implemented have had a positive impact on yields and lower operational costs. Overall flower yield increased substantially in the three months ended June 30, 2025 in preparation of summer demand for premium flower.

Overall gross profit was $23,665,998 and $26,321,206 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 respectively, a decrease of 10.1%. The decrease can be directly attributed to pricing pressure across all markets during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and Administrative (“G&A”) expenses (which includes non-cash share-based compensation expenses), increased by 24.0% during the six months ended June 30, 2025, when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in G&A expenses incurred was a result of the addition of the VidaCann operations with only six weeks included under the Company's ownership in the prior period and an increase in share-based compensation resulting from the March 31, 2025 RSU grant. These increases were partially mitigated by focused cost cutting initiatives undertaken by the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2025 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. Overall, excluding non-cash share-based compensation expenses, G&A expenses as a percentage of revenue equaled 49.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 41.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

A detailed breakdown of G&A expenses is as follows:

Non-cash, share-based compensation of $497,296 was recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2025, increasing from $25,139 that was recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase is attributable to the 13,673,635 Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”) that were granted on March 31, 2025. These amounts are non-cash, and the expense is recognized in accordance with the vesting schedule of the underlying RSUs. See Note 12 to our audited consolidated financial statements filed with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, for additional details on the assumptions used to calculate fair value as well as information regarding the vesting of the various components of the non-cash share-based compensation.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by 7.1% or $108,331 during the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 and increased 13% or $364,612 during the six months ended June 30, 2025 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in marketing expenses was a result of the Company's efforts to drive increased customer traffic to the Planet 13 Las Vegas Superstore and expenses incurred in Florida promoting our expanded store network and Planet 13 rebrand.

Lease expense increased by 32.2% during the three months ended June 30, 2025, when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 and increased 47.6% during the six months ended June 30, 2025 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in Lease expense is due to ongoing annual increases in contracted lease rates on the Company’s leased properties during the year as well as the addition of the dispensary, cultivation and processing facility leases in Florida.

Depreciation and amortization decreased by 14.4% during the three months ended June 30, 2025, when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 and decreased 14.7% in the six months ended June 30 2025 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The reduction is primarily due to the elimination of depreciation charges in California after asset impairment charges taken in 2024. Depreciation expense was included in the prior year.

No impairment charge was incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2025. During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $2,393,087 related to the write-down to net realizable value of construction in process assets for a steel building kit structure at our Florida operations that is no longer going to be used in the operations.

Interest expense of $377,290 was incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to net interest expense of $84,580 during the three months ended June 30, 2024. Interest expense was $553,701 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $129,477 during the period ended June 30, 2024. Interest expense is related to the revolving line of credit, net of interest earned on a corresponding money market account, plus accrued interest on our long-term debt that is due and payable on demand. The balance of long-term debt as of June 30, 2025, was $1,204,965 compared to $1,177,722 as of December 31, 2024.

We conduct our operations primarily in United States dollars and hold all of our currency in US dollars. An insignificant amount of expenses are incurred in Canadian dollars, or Euros. The foreign currency gains/losses reflect fluctuations in the underlying exchange rates on the dates expenses are incurred compared to when they are paid. It is our policy not to hedge our foreign exchange exposure.

Other income, consisting of Automated Teller Machine (“ATM”) fees, and other miscellaneous income/expense, was income of $325,704 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to other income consisting of ATM fees, and other miscellaneous income/expense of $557,479 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Other income, consisting of ("ATM") fees and other miscellaneous income/expense, including the recovery of a property in a legal settlement related to the El Capitan matter valued at $4,570,227 was $5,304,227 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $443,730 in the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was $TBD compared to $4,050,935 for the prior year period. The tax expense decreased due to a decrease in the Company's deferred tax valuation allowance during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, when compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. We are subject to Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), which prohibits businesses from taking deductions or credits in carrying on any trade or business consisting of trafficking in certain controlled substances that are prohibited by federal law. We, to the extent our “trafficking” activities, and/or key contract counterparties directly engaged in trafficking in cannabis, have incurred significant tax liabilities from the application of Section 280E. Our income tax obligations under Section 280E of the Code are typically substantially higher as compared to companies to which Section 280E does not apply. Section 280E essentially requires us to pay federal, and as applicable, state income taxes on gross profit, which presents a significant financial burden that increases our net loss and may make it more difficult for us to generate net profit and cash flow from operations in future periods. In addition, to the extent that the application of Section 280E creates a financial burden on contract counterparties, such burdens may impact the ability of such counterparties to make full or timely payment to us, which would also have a material adverse effect on our business.

The overall net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was $TBD (($0.TBD) per share) compared to an overall net loss of $8,073,146 (($0.03) per share) for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The overall net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was $TBD (($0.TBD) per share) compared to an overall net loss of $13,946,915 (($0.05) per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2024

Segmented Disclosure

The Company determined that each of its locations represents an operating segment. These operating segments have been aggregated into a single reportable segment as the Company operates as a vertically integrated cannabis company with dispensary, cultivation, production and distribution operations in the States of Nevada and Florida, dispensary, cultivation and distribution operations in the State of California and dispensary operations in the State of Illinois.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2025, our financial instruments consist of cash, deposits, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and notes payable. We have no speculative financial instruments, derivatives, forward contracts, or hedges.

As of June 30, 2025, we have working capital of $21,164,363 compared to working capital of $19,923,414 as of June 30, 2024. The Company believes that it has adequate liquidity in the form of cash on hand to fund all its planned capital expenditures and expansion plans as well as to continue to fund its operation over the next 12 months and the planned build-out of its operations in Florida. The Company currently has two properties for sale; a home in Santa Barbara California and a commercial property in Summerfield, Florida that it expects to have sold in the second half of 2025 with net proceeds in the range of $6 million to $7 million combined. The Company will use the proceeds to fund operations and expansion in Florida.

The Company entered into a cash secured line of credit up to $9,750,000, effective June 13, 2024, with no other collateral securing the credit line (the "revolving line of credit"). The revolving line of credit had no previous draws until the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The revolving line of credit contains no financial or other incurrence-based covenants or no material maintenance covenants. The revolving line of credit was used to pay off the approximately $3 million note payable at Lafayette State Bank that matured on February 20, 2025, the $5 million note to former VidaCann shareholders, plus accrued interest that was due on April 1, 2025, plus some additional construction projects that were completed in the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

The following table relates to the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $6,416,537 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $3,762,921 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. A significant portion of the increase in cash used in operating activities is directly attributable to the net change in certain working capital items during the six months ended June 30, 2025, when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $4,967,370 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $1,223,971 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Capital expenditures were primarily related to new store buildouts and upgrades to the cultivation facilities in Florida.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,802,368 during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $6,451,874 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was a result of the net cash proceeds received on the closing of an equity financing in March 2024.

Capital Resources

We have a recent history of operating losses. It may be necessary for us to arrange for additional financing to meet our ongoing growth initiatives.

Management believes it will be able to raise equity capital as required in the long term, but recognizes the risks attached thereto. There can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that the terms of such financing may be favorable.

Should financing not be available, the Company has adequate liquidity in the form of cash on hand to fund all of its planned capital expenditures and expansion plans as well as to continue to fund its operation over the next 12 months, including the planned build-out of its operations in Florida.

Capital Management

Our capital consists of shareholders’ equity. Our objective when managing capital is to maintain adequate levels of funding to support the development of our businesses and maintain the necessary corporate and administrative functions to facilitate these activities. This is done primarily through equity financing. Future financings are dependent on market conditions and there can be no assurance we will be able to raise funds in the future. We invest all capital that is surplus to our immediate operational needs in short-term, highly liquid, and high-grade financial instruments. There were no changes to our approach to capital management during the period. We are not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2025, or as of the date hereof.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of the amounts, events or actions, actual results may differ from those estimates. Estimates and judgements are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable.

Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates as set forth in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

There have been no material changes to our market risk disclosures as set forth in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation as of March 31, 2025, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management recognizes that any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain judgments and assumptions and cannot provide absolute assurance that its objectives will be met. Similarly, an evaluation of controls cannot provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

In addition to other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, financial results, or future performance. Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
