Vireo Growth (VREOF) posts Q1 2026 surge with acquisitions and new debt
Vireo Growth Inc. reported much larger operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, driven by multiple acquisitions and a major asset purchase. Revenue rose to $106.2M from $24.5M a year earlier, with retail sales of $89.9M and wholesale of $16.3M.
Despite a higher gross profit of $59.3M, the company posted a net loss of $20.3M, compared with a $6.5M loss in 2025, mainly due to higher operating costs, transaction expenses, stock-based pay, and income taxes. Total assets increased to $928.8M, total liabilities to $634.7M, and cash plus restricted cash to $137.8M. Vireo completed or integrated several cannabis deals (Wholesome, Proper, Deep Roots, Vireo Health of Rocky Mountain/Schwazze) and added goodwill and licenses, while assuming new long-term and high‑coupon debt and lease obligations.

Insights
Scale and revenue jump sharply, but losses and leverage remain high.
Vireo Growth Inc. shows a transformed footprint after closing multiple cannabis acquisitions and the Vireo Health of Rocky Mountain asset deal. Quarterly revenue reached $106.2M, with strong retail weighting, and operating income turned positive at $9.0M.
However, net loss widened to $20.3M due primarily to higher SG&A, transaction and stock-based compensation expenses, plus $18.3M of current income tax expense. Balance sheet expansion includes goodwill, licenses and right‑of‑use assets, but also higher long-term debt of $197.3M and sizable uncertain tax liabilities.
Subsequent events add further complexity: the Eaze, Hawthorne, and proposed FLUENT transactions, plus a California retail joint venture, will all influence future revenue mix, leverage, and integration risk. Rescheduling of state medical cannabis to Schedule III may improve future tax efficiency, but the eventual impact will depend on detailed implementation and the company’s earnings trajectory.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Description of Business and Summary
Vireo Growth Inc. (“Vireo Growth” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the Alberta Business Corporations Act on November 23, 2004, and continued under the British Columbia Corporations Act on December 9, 2013. The Company's subordinate voting shares are listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) and quoted on the OTCQX under the ticker symbols “VREO” and “VREOF”, respectively.
Vireo Growth was founded in 2014 as a medical cannabis company and has since developed a disciplined, strategically aligned platform within the cannabis industry. The Company’s mission is to provide safe access, quality products, and value to its customers. Vireo Growth operates cultivation, production, and dispensary facilities in Colorado, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, and Utah. The Company allocates capital and talent to areas expected to generate long-term value and operates with a commitment to accountability, efficiency, and its stakeholders, including customers, employees, shareholders, and the communities it serves.
While marijuana and CBD-infused products are legal under the laws of several U.S. states (with vastly differing restrictions), the United States Federal Controlled Substances Act (the “CSA”) classifies all “marijuana” as a Schedule I drug. Under U.S. federal law, a Schedule I drug or substance has a high potential for abuse, has no accepted medical use in the United States, and lacks accepted safety for use under medical supervision. Recent federal action regarding rescheduling, however, expressly acknowledges the distinction between medical cannabis and adult-use cannabis by indicating that medical cannabis as an accepted use for treating certain conditions.
On May 16, 2024, the Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”) issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (“NPRM”) to reschedule marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III under the CSA. Following the NPRM, the DEA received tens of thousands of comments, and as of this filing, an administrative hearing on the rulemaking remains pending. On December 18, 2025, President Trump issued an executive order directing the DOJ to move forward with rescheduling marijuana to Schedule III as quickly as possible, consistent with federal law.
On April 28, 2026, the DEA issued a final rule that rescheduled to Schedule III (i) U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)-approved drug products containing marijuana and (ii) marijuana in any form covered by a state medical marijuana license. To enable state-licensed medical marijuana entities to operate compliantly under Schedule III, the DEA also created a new pathway for state-licensed medical marijuana operators to apply for registration to operate as manufacturers, distributors, and/or dispensers. The final rule indicates that the DEA will process registration applications from “early applicants” (i.e., applicants that submit in the first 60 days) within six months, and all such “early applicants” may continue operating during the pendency of review.
Notably, as a consequence of the partial rescheduling, state medical marijuana licensees will no longer be subject to the deduction disallowance under Section 280E of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. This may allow state-licensed medical marijuana entities to deduct ordinary and necessary business expenses in the same manner currently allowed for other industries. Thus, the recent rescheduling rule could represent a meaningful opportunity for federal tax relief.
Importantly, adult-use marijuana remains a Schedule I substance, regardless of state licensure. Future rescheduling of adult-use marijuana to Schedule III without the current limitations could still occur, as the rulemaking process will continue with a DEA hearing scheduled for June 29, 2026.

Net loss per share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing reported net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reported period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue subordinate voting shares were exercised or converted into subordinate voting shares of the Company during the reporting period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the sum of the weighted average number of subordinate voting shares and the number of potential dilutive subordinate voting share equivalents outstanding during the period. Potential dilutive subordinate voting share equivalents consist of the incremental subordinate voting shares issuable upon the exercise of vested stock options and the incremental shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes. Potential dilutive subordinate voting share equivalents consist of stock options, warrants, and restricted stock units (“RSUs”).
In computing diluted earnings per share, subordinate voting share equivalents are not considered in periods in which a net loss is reported, as the inclusion of the subordinate voting share equivalents would be anti-dilutive. The Company recorded a net loss for the three month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, as presented in these financial statements, and as such there is no difference between the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share for these periods.
The anti-dilutive shares outstanding for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, were as follows:

As previously disclosed, in connection with the acquisition of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of
The RSA set forth a plan to restructure the operations and capital structure of Schwazze and its subsidiaries through a series of transactions, including, but not limited to (i) the purchase of certain assets representing a majority of the total assets of Schwazze and its subsidiaries (the “Asset Sale”) by a newly-formed entity, Vireo Health of Rocky Mountain, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Vireo Health of Rocky Mountain”), that, as of the closing of the Asset Sale, is majority owned indirectly by the Company, and (ii) the liquidation of Schwazze’s remaining assets and winding down of Schwazze’s remaining operations after consummation of the Asset Sale.
The RSA provided for the Asset Sale to be effected by way of a public disposition of collateral pursuant to § 9-610 and 9-611 of the Uniform Commercial Code. As previously disclosed, on November 13, 2025, a public auction of Schwazze’s collateral was completed, and the collateral agent under the indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes, acting at the direction of VHC, credit bid approximately $
On February 27, 2026, CO Acquisition was acquired by VHC pursuant to a membership interest purchase agreement. Prior to the acquisition, CO Acquisition entered into a First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (the “CO Acquisition LSA Amendment”) on February 26, 2026, which amended a Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2025 (as amended, the “CO Acquisition LSA”) by and among CO Acquisition as borrower, Chicago Atlantic Admin, LLC, as administrative agent and the lenders party thereto (the “CO Acquisition Lenders”). The CO Acquisition LSA provides for a term loan facility with a total principal commitment of $

The Company analyzed the acquisition under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business and determined that the Asset Sale should be accounted for as a business combination. Goodwill represents the premium the Company paid over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The goodwill arising from the Asset Sale primarily consists of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of the Company and Vireo Health of Rocky Mountain, including growing the Company's customer base, acquiring assembled workforces, and expanding its presence in new and existing markets. These benefits were not recognized separately from goodwill because they do not meet the recognition criteria for identifiable intangible assets.

The Mergers
On December 18, 2024, the Company entered into merger agreements (each a “Merger Agreement” and collectively, the “Merger Agreements”) with each of (i) Deep Roots Holdings, Inc. (“Deep Roots”) (the “Deep Roots Merger”), (ii) Proper Holdings, LLC (“Proper”), NGH Investments, Inc. (“NGH”), and Proper Holdings Management, Inc. (“Proper MSA Newco” and together with NGH and Proper, the “Proper Companies”) (the “Proper Mergers”), and (iii) WholesomeCo, Inc. (“Wholesome”) (the “Wholesome Merger” and collectively with the Deep Roots Merger and the Proper Mergers, the “Mergers” and each, a “Merger”). Each Merger was an all-share transaction whereby, at the closing of each Merger, (i) a new wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company merged with and into Deep Roots, (ii) a new wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company merged with and into Wholesome, and (iii) the Proper Companies each merged with and into new wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. None of the Mergers were contingent upon the completion of any of the other Mergers. The Wholesome Merger closed on May 12, 2025, the Proper Mergers closed on June 5, 2025, and the Deep Roots Merger closed on June 6, 2025.

Wholesome
On May 12, 2025, the Company closed the Wholesome Merger contemplated by the Wholesome Merger Agreement. The Company analyzed the acquisition under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business and determined that the Wholesome Merger should be accounted for as a business combination. Goodwill represents the premium the Company paid over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The goodwill arising from the Wholesome Merger primarily consists of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of the Company and Wholesome, including growing the Company's customer base, acquiring assembled workforces, and expanding its presence in new and existing markets. These benefits were not recognized separately from goodwill because they do not meet the recognition criteria for identifiable intangible assets.

4. Fair Value Measurements
The Company complies with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
Items measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis
The Company’s non-financial assets, such as prepayments and other current assets, long lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets, are measured at fair value when there is an indicator of impairment and are recorded at fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized. No indicators of impairment existed as of March 31, 2026, and therefore
The carrying value of the Company’s marketable securities, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature, and the carrying value of long-term debt, and convertible debt approximates fair value as they bear a market rate of interest.
Restricted cash consists of cash balances that are legally or contractually restricted as to withdrawal or use. The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the deposits.
The carrying value of the Company’s derivative liability, warrants held, contingent consideration, and investments utilize Level 3 inputs given there is no market activity for the asset.
5. Accounts Receivable
Trade receivables as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were comprised of the following items:

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired and primarily reflects expected synergies, assembled workforce, and other intangible benefits that do not qualify for separate recognition.
The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company performed a qualitative assessment and concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting units exceeded their respective carrying amounts. Accordingly, the Company determined that it was not necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test, and

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) provides an employee retention credit (“CARES Employee Retention Credit”), which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes of up to $5,000 per employee for eligible employers. The CARES Employee Retention Credit was initially equal to 50% of qualified wages paid to employees during a quarter, capped at $10,000 of qualified wages per employee through December 31, 2020. Additional relief provisions were later passed by the United States government, which extended and slightly expanded the qualified wage caps on these credits through December 31, 2021. Based on these additional provisions, the CARES Employee Retention Credit is now equal to 70% of qualified wages paid to employees during a quarter, and the limit on qualified wages per employee has been increased to $10,000 of qualified wages per quarter. The Company applied for and received a CARES Employee Retention Credit equal to $

18. Segment Reporting
The Company utilized the guidance in ASC 280 to determine how many reportable segments the Company has. The Company considered various factors including, but not limited to, the Company’s products and services, production processes, customers, regulatory environment, and business geography, as well as the degree to which the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates the Company’s performance and allocates resources. The Company determined that cannabis is its
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer serves as the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker assesses performance for the cannabis segment and decides how to allocate resources based on operating profit and net income that also is reported on the statement of net loss and comprehensive loss as consolidated net income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet total as consolidated assets. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker uses net income to evaluate income generated from segment assets in deciding the appropriate capital allocation strategy. A comparison of budgeted results to actual results is also used by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (as defined under GAAP) to assess business performance.
The Company’s cannabis segment cultivates, processes and distributes medical and adult-use cannabis products in a variety of formats, as well as related accessories, in the United States. Revenue is derived from the sale of these products in the United States, and the assets used to produce these products are also held in the United States. The accounting policy for recording revenue, and all other accounting policies, are the same as those described in Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”

20. Financial Instruments
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash, and accounts receivable. A small portion of cash is held on hand, from which management believes the risk of loss is remote. Receivables relate primarily to wholesale sales. The Company does not have significant credit risk with respect to customers. The Company’s maximum credit risk exposure is equivalent to the carrying value of these instruments. The Company has been granted licenses pursuant to the laws of the states of Maryland, Minnesota, and New York with respect to cultivating, processing, and/or distributing marijuana. Presently, this industry is illegal under United States federal law. The Company has adhered, and intends to continue to adhere, strictly to the applicable state statutes in its operations.
30
Table of Contents
Liquidity risk
The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s financial liabilities consist of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, debt and convertible debt. The Company manages liquidity risk by reviewing its capital requirements on an ongoing basis. Historically, the Company’s main source of funding has been additional funding from investors and debt issuances. The Company’s access to financing is always uncertain. There can be no assurance of continued access to significant equity financing.
Legal Risk
Vireo Growth operates in the United States. The U.S. federal government regulates drugs through the CSA, which places controlled substances, including cannabis, in a schedule. Recent federal action, however, resulted in the rescheduling to Schedule III of (i) FDA-approved drug products containing marijuana and (ii) marijuana in any form covered by a state medical marijuana license. Regarding state-legal medical marijuana, the DEA also created a pathway for state medical marijuana licensees to register and continue operating compliantly under Schedule III.
As a general matter, however, cannabis remains a Schedule I drug outside of the specific conditions outlined above. Under U.S. federal law, a Schedule I drug or substance has a high potential for abuse, has no accepted medical use in the U.S., and lacks accepted safety for use under medical supervision. Although the FDA has approved certain drugs containing marijuana, it has not approved marijuana itself as a safe and effective drug. In the U.S., marijuana is largely regulated at the state level. Despite recent federal action to align state medical licensing requirements with Schedule III registration requirements, state laws regulating adult-use cannabis are still in direct conflict with the federal CSA, which makes adult-use cannabis use and possession federally illegal.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign currency rates. Given the Company’s financial transactions are rarely denominated in a foreign currency, there is minimal foreign currency risk exposure.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company currently carries variable interest-bearing debt subject to fluctuations in the United States Prime rate and Secured Overnight Financing Rate. However, management believes that the impact of reasonably possible changes in interest rates on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and cash flows would not be material.

Overview of the Company
Vireo Growth is a cannabis company whose mission is to provide safe access, quality products and value to its customers while supporting its local communities through active participation and restorative justice programs. The Company is evolving with the industry and is in the midst of a transformation to being significantly more customer-centric across its operations, which include cultivation, manufacturing, wholesale and retail business lines. With our core operations strategically located in eight limited-license markets through our state-licensed subsidiaries, we cultivate and manufacture cannabis products and distribute these products through our growing network of retail dispensaries we own or operate as well as to third-party dispensaries in the markets in which our subsidiaries hold operating licenses.
Operating Segment
We report our operating results in one business segment: the cultivation, production, and sale of cannabis. We cultivate, manufacture, and distribute cannabis products to third parties in wholesale markets and cultivate, manufacture, and sell cannabis products directly to approved patients and adult-use-customers in our owned or operated retail stores.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit
Gross profit reflects total net revenue less cost of sales. Cost of sales represents the costs attributable to producing bulk materials and finished goods, which includes direct materials, labor, and certain indirect costs such as depreciation, insurance, utilities and valuation adjustments. Cannabis costs are affected by various state regulations that limit the sourcing and procurement of cannabis product, which may create fluctuations in gross profit over comparative periods as the regulatory environment changes.
Cost of sales are determined from costs related to the cultivation and processing of cannabis and cannabis-derived products as well as the cost of finished goods inventory purchased from third parties and valuation adjustments.
Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $46.9 million, an increase of $34.8 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, of $12.1 million. The increase in cost of sales was driven by the increase in revenues.
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $59.3 million, representing a gross margin of 55.8%. In comparison, gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $12.4 million or a 50.6% gross margin. The increase in gross profit was driven by the closing of various acquisitions, which added the gross profits in Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Missouri, and Utah. The increase in gross margin is also attributable to acquisition-related activity, as the businesses acquired generated higher margins than the businesses included in the comparative period.

Table of Contents
Total Expenses
Total expenses other than the cost of sales consist of selling costs to support customer relationships, marketing, and branding activities. They also include a significant investment in the corporate infrastructure required to support ongoing business.
Selling costs generally correlate to revenue. In the short-term as a percentage of sales, we expect selling costs to remain relatively flat. However, as anticipated positive regulatory developments in our core markets occur, we expect selling costs as a percentage of sales to decrease via growth in our retail and wholesale channels.
General and administrative expenses also include costs incurred at the corporate offices, primarily related to personnel costs, including salaries, benefits, and other professional service costs, as well as corporate insurance, legal and professional fees associated with being a publicly traded company. We expect general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales to decrease as we realize revenue growth both organically and through anticipated positive regulatory developments in our core markets.
Total expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026, were $50.4 million an increase of $39.9 million compared to total expenses of $10.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in total expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in transaction expenses associated with the newly-acquired businesses, an increase in stock-based compensation expense, and the addition of operating expenses in Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Missouri, and Utah.
Operating Income before Other Income (Expense) and Income Taxes
Operating income before other income (expense) and provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $9.0 million an increase of $7.0 million compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Total Other Expense
Total other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $13.2 million an increase of $6.4 million compared to total other expense of $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This change was primarily attributable to the remeasurement of contingent consideration associated with the Mergers, which resulted in a $5.5 million loss during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Provision for Income Taxes
Income tax expense is recognized based on the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at year-end. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, tax expense totaled $16.1 million compared to tax expense of $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in tax expense was driven by the increase in gross profit relative to the prior year.
NON-GAAP MEASURES
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures that do not have standardized definitions under GAAP. Total revenues, excluding revenues from states where we have divested operations, is also a non-GAAP measure that does not have a standardized definition under GAAP. The following information provides reconciliations of the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA presented herein to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of the supplemental non-GAAP financial measure, total revenues, that exclude revenues from states where we have divested operations presented herein to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP can be found in the tables above where the measure appears. We have provided these non-GAAP financial measures, which are not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP, as supplemental information and in addition to the financial measures that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

The First Lien Term Loan bears interest at the one-month Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (subject to a 3% floor) plus 4% per annum. The First Lien Term Loan shall, at the Administrative Agent’s option, convert to a Prime Rate Loan at the end of the First Lien Term Loan’s current one-month interest period if an event of default shall occur and be continuing, at which time an additional 2% of default interest will also be applicable to the First Lien Term Loan.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $11.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $15.3 million as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher revenues and operating income resulting from the Company’s expanded operations following the completed acquisition activity.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was $8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $9.1 million compared to net cash used in investing activities of $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to the cash acquired through the closing of Vireo Health of Rocky Mountain during the three-months ended March 31, 2026, partially offset by increased purchases of property, plant, and equipment.
Cash Used in Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, a change of $3.7 million as compared to $0.9 million used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The change was principally due to increased principal repayments on the First Lien Term Loan and Chicago Atlantic Term Loan relative to the comparative period.
Lease Transactions
As of March 31, 2026, we are party to lease agreements for the use of buildings used in the cultivation, production and/or sales of cannabis products in Colorado, New Mexico, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Missouri, Nevada, and Utah.
The lease agreements for all of the retail spaces used for our dispensary operations are with third-party landlords and the remaining durations range from one to ten years. These agreements are short-term facility leases that require us to make monthly rent payments and fund common area costs, utilities and maintenance. In some cases, we have received tenant improvement funds to assist in the buildout of the spaces to meet our operating needs. As of March 31, 2026, we operated 82 retail locations secured under these agreements.
We also entered into sale and leaseback arrangements for our cultivation and processing facilities in Minnesota and New York with a special-purpose real estate investment trust. These leases are long-term agreements that provide, among other things, funds to make certain improvements to the properties that will significantly enhance the production capacity and operational efficiency of the facilities.

FAQ
How did Vireo Growth (VREOF) perform financially in Q1 2026?
Vireo Growth generated $106.2M in revenue for Q1 2026, up from $24.5M a year earlier. Gross profit rose to $59.3M, and income from operations was $9.0M, but higher expenses and taxes led to a net loss of $20.3M.
What drove Vireo Growth’s revenue increase in the March 2026 quarter?
The revenue increase to $106.2M was mainly driven by acquisitions and expanded retail operations. Retail sales contributed $89.9M, while wholesale revenue was $16.3M. Newly consolidated businesses such as Wholesome, Proper, Deep Roots, and Vireo Health of Rocky Mountain expanded the company’s store and production base.
What is Vireo Growth’s balance sheet position as of March 31, 2026?
As of March 31, 2026, Vireo Growth reported total assets of $928.8M and total liabilities of $634.7M. Cash and restricted cash were $137.8M. Long-term debt (excluding current portion) totaled $197.3M, and convertible debt (non‑current) was $8.3M.
Which major acquisitions did Vireo Growth close or integrate by Q1 2026?
Vireo Growth integrated the Wholesome, Proper, and Deep Roots mergers and completed the Vireo Health of Rocky Mountain asset acquisition. These deals added dispensaries, cultivation and processing sites, cannabis licenses, developed technology, goodwill, and new debt and contingent consideration obligations.
How did acquisitions affect Vireo Growth’s goodwill and intangible assets?
Acquisitions significantly increased goodwill and intangibles. Goodwill rose to $123.8M by March 31, 2026. Intangible assets, mainly cannabis licenses and developed technology, increased to $194.0M, with amortization expense of $2.7M recognized during the quarter.
What impact could U.S. cannabis rescheduling have on Vireo Growth?
The DEA’s final rule moving certain medical marijuana to Schedule III removes Section 280E limits for qualifying state medical licensees. Vireo notes this may permit normal tax deductions, potentially improving after‑tax profitability, though the company is still evaluating detailed effects on its operations and financials.
What significant post‑quarter transactions did Vireo Growth announce?
After March 31, 2026, Vireo closed the Eaze merger, acquired Hawthorne Gardening’s equity interests, announced a California retail joint venture with Glass House Brands, and agreed to acquire FLUENT Corp. in an all‑stock deal. These transactions will further expand its retail footprint and share count.
