Insights

Financial Analyst

Flora Growth's 2024 results reveal a company executing a high-risk, high-reward strategy despite its micro-cap status ($12.6M market cap). The capital raises totaling $4.3 million ($0.7M at $1.67 per share and $3.6M at $1.25 per share) provide modest operational runway but may not suffice for their ambitious multi-market expansion plans.

The appointment of Sammy Dorf as Executive Chairman represents a significant strategic win. Dorf's background with Verano ($925M annual revenue) brings valuable operational expertise and cannabis industry connections at a scale substantially larger than Flora's current operations. His experience securing 40+ licenses across 14 states could prove instrumental for European market entry.

The completed beverage facility represents a tangible operational milestone, enabling Flora to scale production in the developing THC-infused beverage segment. However, the lack of specific financial metrics in what's described as a financial results announcement is notable—strong performers typically highlight revenue growth, margins, and profitability improvements prominently.

Their strategic Portugal investment (10% stake in Hoshi) has seen $20 million total investment, though Flora's direct contribution was $2.4 million. With a new financial partner covering ongoing capital expenditures, Flora limits cash burn while maintaining potential upside exposure.

Cannabis Industry Specialist

Flora's strategic pivot toward THC-infused beverages represents a calculated bet on an emerging cannabis consumption category. The U.S. cannabis beverage market remains underdeveloped compared to flower, edibles, and vapes, presenting both opportunity and risk. Their facility coming online "on time and on budget" demonstrates operational discipline while their distribution partnership with Sunshine State Distributing and placement in Total Wine & More provide immediate retail pathways.

The German market strategy shows impressive foresight. The appointment of Dr. Manfred Ziegler, who led CC Pharma before its acquisition by Tilray, brings critical European pharmaceutical distribution expertise. Their Curaleaf supply agreement leverages relationships with 1,200+ pharmacies, positioning Flora for Germany's medical cannabis market (projected at $450 million in 2024).

The launch of their Parallel Import business in Germany represents a pragmatic revenue diversification strategy, potentially generating cash flow from pharmaceutical imports while building infrastructure for cannabis distribution. This creates operational synergies while reducing reliance on cannabis regulatory progress.

The appointment of Patrick Moloney, an inventor with 300+ patents including iconic Dyson products, signals serious product development ambitions. His experience could drive meaningful innovation in consumption devices through Flora's Vessel brand, differentiating their offerings in competitive cannabis accessory markets.

While Flora is making strategically sound moves across multiple fronts, execution risks remain significant given their resource constraints relative to multi-state operators and international competitors with deeper capital reserves.

Fort Lauderdale, Florida--(Newsfile Corp. - March 24, 2025) - Flora Growth Corp. (NASDAQ: FLGC) (FSE: 7301) ("Flora" or the "Company") reported today its financial and operating results for the year ended December 31, 2024.

"The re-election of President Donald Trump presents a renewed opportunity for meaningful cannabis reform in the United States. His track record of signing the 2018 Farm Bill into law was a watershed moment for hemp and CBD, fueling a multi-billion-dollar industry and setting the stage for broader cannabis policy shifts. With growing bipartisan support for cannabis legalization and an evolving market landscape, we are optimistic that a second Trump administration will embrace regulatory clarity, unlock capital markets, and pave the way for an expansion of THC-infused consumer products. Flora stands ready to seize these opportunities and drive the industry forward," said Clifford Starke, Chief Executive Officer.

"Flora is committed to being at the forefront of cannabis innovation, and we are thrilled to welcome industry pioneer Sammy Dorf to our leadership team. Sammy's track record as Co-Founder of Verano-a multi-state operator and cannabis powerhouse-brings unmatched expertise and strategic vision to Flora's expansion into the THC-infused beverage sector. Together, we are positioning Flora to capitalize on a category poised to disrupt traditional alcohol consumption. With evolving regulatory landscapes and shifting consumer preferences, we believe THC-Infused beverages represent the next frontier, and Flora intends to lead the charge."

Sammy Dorf, Verano Co-Founder, Joined Flora as Executive Chairman

• This strategic appointment ushers in an exciting new chapter as Flora expands its footprint in the growing THC-infused beverage market and bolsters its global licensing initiatives.
• Mr. Dorf brings expertise and a track record of success to Flora. As Co-Founder and former Chief Growth Officer of Verano Holdings Corp. ("Verano"), he was instrumental in Verano's rise as a cannabis industry leader. His achievements include raising significant capital, securing more than 40 licenses across 14 states, and building operations in key markets such as Illinois, Maryland, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. Today, Verano is one of the largest and most successful vertically integrated cannabis companies in the United States with revenues exceeding $925 million in its most recently completed fiscal year.
• Mr. Dorf will leverage his deep expertise in licensing, strategic partnerships, and operational scaling to drive growth. His expansive network and relationships with MSOs will be vital in unlocking new markets, forging high-value collaborations, and scaling Flora's operations. Mr. Dorf's unparalleled experience in obtaining licenses in complex and competitive cannabis markets will be invaluable as Flora navigates the evolving European landscape and pursues pilot cannabis licenses in Europe. The ability to secure these coveted licenses is critical for gaining early market entry and building a strong foothold in the industry.
• The addition of Mr. Dorf comes at a time when Flora accelerates its entry into the THC-Infused beverage market. Peak has produced over ten million cans of cannabis beverages - an unmatched feat attesting to its experience and expertise. Peak's dynamic portfolio includes popular brands like Señorita-a sophisticated tequila-inspired beverage, naturally crafted, carbonated with fast onset Mexican agave flavor. On November 12, 2024, Agrify Corporation announced plans to acquire the Señorita brand of THC beverages. Other brands powered by Peak include Cookies, Tweed and Propulsion by Canopy Growth, Teapot by the Boston Beer Company, Deep Space, Sweet Justice, and Ray's Lemonade. Flora's Peak USA is positioned to revolutionize this burgeoning sector.

Regulatory Developments

• Flora calls on President Trump to take immediate action on cannabis reform. Flora commends President Trump for his statements in support of cannabis reform and urges his administration to prioritize these critical reforms around rescheduling and SAFE banking that will create economic growth, address inequalities, and open pathways for significant advancements in the space.
• President Trump has shown support for the cannabis sector by backing a Florida marijuana legalization initiative and advocating for federal cannabis banking report. President Trump's positions suggest a growing awareness within the Republican Party of the advantages cannabis reform can bring. Trump has also signaled openness to rescheduling cannabis at the federal level.
• Flora acknowledges the pivotal role President Trump played in opening the doors for the cannabinoid industry through the signing of the 2018 Farm Bill. It decriminalized industrial hemp at the federal level, enabling a surge in new economic activity as states developed programs to cultivate, process, and sell hemp-derived products. In the years following, the hemp industry became a thriving area with related businesses and retailers providing high-quality cannabinoid products to consumers.
• The appointment of Robert Kennedy Jr. to lead the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services signals a potential turning point for the cannabis industry. Mr. Kennedy is a vocal advocate for cannabis legalization and tax reform. His support for freeing up banking services for cannabis businesses could alleviate one of the industry's most significant challenges, enabling broader financial access and operational stability.
• In Germany, Flora commends the government's recent approval of new legislation aimed at liberalizing the cultivation of industrial hemp. Introduced by Cem Özdemir, Germany's Minister of Food and Agriculture, the updated regulatory framework will create new opportunities for the cultivation and commercialization of industrial hemp. The legislation, passed with broad support, removes the previously restrictive "abuse clause" and provides a more streamlined path for industrial hemp producers.
• Flora expressed its strong support for Germany's historic cannabis model city projects in Frankfurt and Hannover. These initiatives, marking Germany's first controlled cannabis retail efforts, will allow the cities to gather valuable insights on consumption behaviors, public health, and strategies to combat the illegal cannabis market, moving the country's cannabis policy from theory to practice.
• Flora intends to submit applications for participation in upcoming cannabis pilot programs in Germany to the Federal Ministry for Agriculture and Food ("BMEL"). These programs aim to effectively reduce the illicit market, expand health prevention, and provide an objective foundation for ongoing discussions surrounding cannabis.

New Product Launches and Partnerships

• Captain Hooter, a globally recognized cannabis connoisseur, will assist the Company as an advisor.

Launch of Parallel Import ("PI") Business in Germany

• The PI Business will enable Flora to provide European consumers with a diverse range of pharmaceuticals at competitive prices while ensuring compliance with the stringent regulations governing the EU market. Flora is a prominent distributor of pharmaceutical products in the European Union and a holder of a medical cannabis licence in Germany.
• The PI Business will initially focus on Germany, which is the largest market in Europe, with plans to expand into other EU member states. In addition to enhancing product availability and affordability, the PI Business will contribute to the Company's overall turnover and bottom line.
• In a PI Business, products are typically sourced from countries where they are available at a lower price due to factors such as exchange rates, taxes, or other market conditions. These products are then imported into another country where they are sold at a lower price compared to the officially imported or distributed products.

• With the completion of this facility, Flora is poised to scale production and accelerate its entry into the U.S. THC-infused beverage market.

  4. Expanding Outreach and Fulfillment Capabilities: AV is in the process of partnership with major distribution chains to broaden its outreach and enhance fulfillment capabilities to further strengthen AV's position in the Australian market.

About Non-U.S. GAAP Measures

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. We calculate EBITDA as total net income (loss) from continuing operations, plus (minus) income taxes (recovery), plus (minus) interest expense (income), plus depreciation and amortization. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus (minus) non-operating expense (income), plus share based compensation expense, plus asset impairment charges, plus (minus) changes in financial instruments fair value, plus charges related to the flow-through of inventory step-up on business combinations, plus other acquisition and transaction costs. Management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide meaningful and useful financial information as these measures demonstrate the operating performance of the business.

Management believes that this non-U.S. GAAP financial information is useful as a supplement to comparable U.S. GAAP financial information. Management reviews these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures on a regular basis and uses them, together with financial measures included in the Company's financial statements, to evaluate and manage the performance of the Company's operations. These measures should be evaluated in conjunction with the comparable U.S. GAAP financial numbers reported by the Company.

The reconciliation of the Company's Adjusted EBITDA, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, to net loss from continuing operations, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, for the year ended December 31, 2024 and is presented in the table below:
