“Our third quarter results reflect continued progress towards our objectives, with the business reaching record levels of net revenue, gross profit and adjusted EBITDA generation, driven by the seventh consecutive quarter of record net revenue at Cronos Israel, as well as by continued cost discipline. Our strength abroad continues to drive robust gross margins, demonstrating the success of our global strategy. Our PEACE NATURALS® brand remains the market leader in Israel, supported by outstanding execution from our team on the ground and the consistent success of flagship flower strains, underscoring our ability to scale and innovate efficiently, and to meet the growing needs of patients,” said Mike Gorenstein, Chairman, President and CEO of Cronos.
“In Canada, despite temporary flower supply constraints, our long-term fundamentals remain strong, with the Spinach® brand retaining its position as the #2 brand in the market2, driven by category leadership in edibles with SOURZ by Spinach® and resilient performance across flower, vapes and pre-rolls. With the completion of the expansion at Cronos GrowCo unlocking additional flower capacity, we are well-positioned for growth in 2026.

Third Quarter 2025
- Net revenue of $36.3 million in Q3 2025 increased by $2.1 million from Q3 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher cannabis flower sales in Israel, which carry no excise taxes, and higher cannabis extract sales in the Canadian market, partially offset by a decrease in cannabis flower sales in the Canadian market.
- Gross profit of $18.3 million in Q3 2025 increased by $14.7 million from Q3 2024. The increase was primarily due to lower amounts of inventory step-up from the Cronos GrowCo Transaction recognized into cost of sales. In addition, gross profit increased due to higher average sales prices driven primarily by a mix shift to Israel, higher sales volumes, production efficiencies and favorable inventory dynamics during the third quarter of 2025. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, gross profit was reduced by $7.1 million as a result of the impact of the inventory step-up from the Cronos GrowCo Transaction that was recorded into cost of sales.
- Adjusted Gross Profit of $18.3 million in Q3 2025 increased by $7.6 million from Q3 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher average sales prices driven primarily by a mix shift to Israel, higher sales volumes, production efficiencies and favorable inventory dynamics during the third quarter of 2025.
- Net income of $28.3 million in Q3 2025 increased by $21.0 million from Q3 2024. The increase was primarily due to lower operating expenses and higher gross profit, partially offset by lower other income.
- Adjusted EBITDA of $5.7 million in Q3 2025 improved by $11.7 million from Q3 2024. The improvement year-over-year was primarily driven by higher gross profit and lower operating expenses due to a decline in general and administrative costs.
Business Updates
Brand and Product Portfolio
Spinach®3
The Spinach® brand ended Q3 2025 as the second most popular brand in Canada, holding a 4.5% total market share. Spinach® flower ranked as the fourth most popular flower brand with 4.9% market share, despite flower supply constraints that have temporarily limited growth potential.
In Q3 2025, Spinach® maintained its #1 position in edibles with a 19.7% market share, driven by the outstanding performance of its SOURZ by Spinach® gummies. Four Spinach® gummies ranked among the top 10 edible products nationally, underscoring Cronos’ continued leadership in innovative, high-quality cannabis edibles and reinforcing ongoing consumer loyalty to the Spinach® brand. During the quarter, the Spinach® brand launched its popular SOURZ by Spinach® Fully Blasted liquid-diamond infused gummies in multipack formats, now available in five of its most popular flavors, offering consumers more choice, convenience, and value when purchasing Canada’s favorite cannabis edible. During the quarter we also re-introduced the limited-edition SOURZ by Spinach® Caramel Green Apple gummy, featuring sweet and crisp apple flavors.
In the vape category, the Spinach® brand achieved 7.0% share in Q3 2025, a #3 overall ranking in Canada, with vape cartridges specifically reaching 9.5% share, ranking #2 for the product category in Canada. Three Spinach® vape SKUs ranked among the top 10 vape products in Canada, including the #1 selling 1.2g vape cartridge, Pink Lemonade, further showcasing the brand’s innovation and strong consumer appeal. During Q3 2025, the brand launched the limited-edition Spinach® Sweet Green Apple 1g vape, to complement its corresponding SOURZ by Spinach® seasonal offering.
Lord Jones®3
Lord Jones® Chocolate Fusions™ ended Q3 2025 as the #3 chocolate cannabis edible brand in Canada with a 10.7% market share.
Lord Jones® products remain the category leader in hash and live resin-infused pre-rolls, with 17.5% market share. This leadership position highlights the brand’s ability to create differentiated, high-quality products that appeal to discerning cannabis consumers.

PEACE NATURALS®4
In Israel, PEACE NATURALS® continues to be the country’s top-performing brand, achieving record net revenue and sales volume in Q3 2025. The best-selling PEACE NATURALS® Wedding CK broke sales records in Q3 2025, exemplifying the strong demand for Cronos’ genetics internationally. In Q3 2025, Cronos Israel introduced new PEACE NATURALS® strains ANML, OGC, and Do Si Do under a new premium limited-edition product series, and launched a limited-edition combo pack featuring Wedding CK and Blue Thai. Cronos Israel's exceptional performance reflects the strength of Cronos’ advanced genetic breeding program, industry-leading cultivation capabilities, and a highly motivated local team committed to excellence.
International results outside of Israel were modest this quarter, primarily due to shipment timing that shifted revenue recognition into the fourth quarter. As a result, we anticipate that second-half of 2025 international ex-Israel net revenue will align closely with first-half performance. In Q3 2025 the PEACE NATURALS® brand was launched in the medical cannabis market in Switzerland, bringing the distribution of the Company’s flagship medical brand to seven global markets: Canada, Israel, Germany, the United Kingdom (“UK”), Australia, Switzerland, and Malta.

The Cronos GrowCo expansion is now complete and sales from the expansion commenced in Fall 2025. The Company believes this additional supply will fuel growth internationally and within the domestic Canadian market in 2026. As with any cultivation expansion, it typically takes time to fully optimize the new facility, and while we are on-schedule and making great progress, we expect improvement over time.

Non-GAAP Measures
Cronos Group reports its financial results in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). This press release refers to measures not recognized under U.S. GAAP (“non-GAAP measures”). These non-GAAP measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these non-GAAP measures are provided as a supplement to corresponding U.S. GAAP measures to provide additional information regarding the results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All non-GAAP measures presented in this press release are reconciled to their closest reported U.S. GAAP measure. Reconciliations of historical adjusted financial measures to corresponding U.S. GAAP measures are provided below.
Adjusted EBITDA
Management reviews Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, which excludes non-cash items and items that do not reflect management’s assessment of ongoing business performance. Management defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization adjusted for: share of (income) loss from equity method investments; impairment loss on goodwill and intangible assets; impairment loss on long-lived assets; (gain) loss on revaluation of derivative liabilities; (gain) loss on revaluation of financial instruments; gain on revaluation of loan receivable; gain on revaluation of equity method investment; transaction costs related to strategic projects; loss on held-for-sale assets; impairment loss on other investments; foreign currency (gain) loss; other, net; change in allowance for credit loss on non-operating loan; restructuring costs; share-based compensation; costs related to the Israel Ministry of Economy and Industry dumping inquiry; purchase accounting adjustment-related inventory step-up adjustments recorded through cost of sales; and legal costs of defending shareholder class action complaints brought against us as a result of the 2019 restatement. Results are reported as total consolidated results, reflecting our reporting structure of one reportable segment.
Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides the most useful insight into underlying business trends and results and provides a more meaningful comparison of period-over-period results. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA for planning, forecasting and evaluating business and financial performance, including allocating resources and evaluating results relative to employee compensation targets.
Beginning in the third quarter of 2025, the Company modified the composition of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude the impact of the provision for expected credit losses recognized under ASC 326 solely with respect to the High Tide Loan (for further information, see Part I, Note 5 — Loans Receivable, net of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2025). Management determined that excluding this non-cash provision provides investors with additional insight into period-over-period operating performance by isolating credit-risk movements unrelated to the Company’s core operations.
Management believes that this change better reflects the Company’s ongoing operational results and enhances comparability with peers that do not routinely extend credit to third parties. This change does not affect the Company’s GAAP financial statements.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Adjusted EBITDA was $9.7 million, representing an improvement of $37.4 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2024. For both the three and nine month comparative periods, the improvement was primarily due to higher gross profit and lower operating expenses due to a decline in general and administrative costs.
Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin
To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have presented Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin, non-GAAP measures that exclude the impacts of inventory-related purchase accounting adjustments from the calculations of gross profit and gross margin, which resulted from the Cronos GrowCo Transaction. Results are reported as total consolidated results, reflecting our reporting structure of one reportable segment.
Management believes that Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin provide useful insight into underlying business trends to facilitate comparisons of period-over-period results by removing the impacts of inventory-related purchase accounting adjustments resulting from the Cronos GrowCo Transaction, which reflect a one-time event and do not reflect management’s assessment of ongoing business performance.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Gross profit and Gross margin, each as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, to Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin, respectively, for the periods indicated:

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, Adjusted Gross Profit was $18.3 million, representing an increase of $7.6 million from the three months ended September 30, 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Adjusted Gross Profit was $47.1 million, representing an increase of $25.6 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2024. For the three month comparative period, the increase was primarily due to higher average sales prices driven primarily by a mix shift to Israel, higher sales volumes, production efficiencies and favorable inventory dynamics during the third quarter of 2025. For the nine month comparative period, the increase was primarily due to the consolidation of Cronos GrowCo, higher average sales prices driven primarily by a mix shift to Israel and other countries, higher sales volumes, production efficiencies and favorable inventory dynamics during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Constant Currency
To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have presented constant currency adjusted financial measures for net revenue, gross profit, gross profit margin, operating expenses, net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as well as cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment balances as of September 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024, which are considered non-GAAP financial measures. We present constant currency information to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying operations performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. To present this information, current and comparative prior period income statement results in currencies other than U.S. dollars are converted into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates from the three and nine month comparative periods in 2024 rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the respective current period; constant currency current and prior comparative balance sheet information is translated at the prior year-end spot rate rather than the current period spot rate.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, net revenue on a constant currency basis was $35.5 million, representing a 4% increase from the three months ended September 30, 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net revenue on a constant currency basis was $102.5 million, representing a 17% increase from the nine months ended September 30, 2024. On a constant currency basis, net revenue increased for the three months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to higher cannabis flower sales in Israel, which carry no excise taxes, and higher cannabis extract sales in the Canadian market, partially offset by a decrease in cannabis flower sales in the Canadian market. On a constant currency basis, net revenue increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to higher cannabis flower sales in Israel and other countries, which carry no excise taxes, the inclusion of a full nine months of Cronos GrowCo sales in the current period and higher cannabis extract sales in the Canadian market, partially offset by lower cannabis flower sales in the Canadian market. On a constant currency basis, the consolidation of Cronos GrowCo as a result of the Cronos GrowCo Transaction contributed $7.2 million and $4.3 million of cannabis flower sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Gross profit
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, gross profit on a constant currency basis was $17.9 million, representing a 395% increase from the three months ended September 30, 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, gross profit on a constant currency basis was $46.5 million, representing a 223% increase from the nine months ended September 30, 2024. On a constant currency basis, gross profit increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to lower amounts of inventory step-up from the Cronos GrowCo Transaction recognized into cost of sales. For the three month comparative period, the increase was also driven by higher average sales prices driven primarily by a mix shift to Israel, higher sales volumes, production efficiencies and favorable inventory dynamics during the third quarter of 2025. For the nine month comparative period, the increase was also driven by the consolidation of Cronos GrowCo, higher average sales prices driven primarily by a mix shift to Israel and other countries, higher sales volume, production efficiencies and favorable inventory dynamics during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. On a constant currency basis, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized $0.6 million of inventory step-up from the Cronos GrowCo Transaction in cost of sales. No such costs were recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2025. On a constant currency basis, for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized $7.2 million of inventory step-up from the Cronos GrowCo Transaction in cost of sales.
Operating expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, operating expenses on a constant currency basis were $18.7 million, representing a 50% decrease from the three months ended September 30, 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, operating expenses on a constant currency basis were $57.1 million, representing a 28% decrease from the nine months ended September 30, 2024. On a constant currency basis, operating expenses decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to lower impairment loss on long-lived assets, lower amortization of intangible assets and lower salaries and benefits, partially offset by higher restructuring costs. On a constant currency basis, operating expenses decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to lower impairment loss on long-lived assets, lower amortization of intangible assets and lower salaries and benefits, partially offset by higher restructuring costs.
Net income (loss)
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, net income on a constant currency basis was $29.0 million, representing a higher net income of $21.6 million from the three months ended September 30, 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net loss on a constant currency basis was $3.5 million, representing a lower net loss of $0.4 million from nine months ended September 30, 2024. On a constant currency basis, the improvement in net income for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, was primarily due to lower operating expenses and higher gross profit, partially offset by lower other income.
Adjusted EBITDA
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, Adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis was $4.7 million, representing a $10.8 million improvement from the three months ended September 30, 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis was $8.7 million, representing a $36.4 million improvement from the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 on a constant currency basis was driven by higher gross profit and lower operating expenses due to a decline in general and administrative costs.
Cash and cash equivalents & short-term investments
Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments on a constant currency basis decreased 4% to $821.6 million as of September 30, 2025, from $858.8 million as of December 31, 2024. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments on a constant currency basis is primarily due to purchases of property, plant and equipment, advances on loans receivable, repurchases of common stock, purchases of other investments, dividend payments to non-controlling interests and withholding taxes paid on share-based awards, partially offset by positive cash from operating activities and proceeds from the repayment of loans receivable.
