The following management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) of the financial condition and results of the operations of Ayr Wellness Inc. (“Ayr”, “the Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”) constitutes management’s review of the factors that affected the Company’s financial and operating performance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (the “interim financial statements”). Results are reported in United States dollars, unless otherwise noted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which consist only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

Further information about the Company and its operations can be obtained on ir.ayrwellness.com, sec.gov/edgar, and www.sedarplus.ca. The information contained on such websites is not a part of, nor is it incorporated by reference into, this MD&A.

The effective date of this MD&A is August 7, 2024.

Overview of the Company

Ayr Wellness Inc. is a United States (“U.S.”) multi-state cannabis business operating as a retailer and consumer packaged goods company. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Miami, Florida, the Company is focused on delivering quality cannabis products and strong customer experience throughout its footprint. As of June 30, 2024, the Company employed approximately 2,500 personnel. The Company, through its subsidiaries and affiliates, holds, operates, and manages licenses and permits in the States of Florida, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Connecticut.

The Company owns and operates a chain of cannabis retail stores under brand names including AYR Cannabis Dispensary and The Dispensary. Ayr owns stores under other names, primarily where stores acquired still retain their pre-acquisition branding, though the Company intends to unify its retail footprint under the AYR retail brand name over time. The revenue of Ayr’s retail stores derives primarily from the sale of cannabis products, with an immaterial portion of income resulting from the sale of other merchandise (such as cannabis accessories). As of June 30, 2024, Ayr operated 92 retail stores, located across Ayr’s portfolio.

The Company’s strategy is to vertically integrate through the consolidation of cultivating, producing, distributing, and dispensing cannabis brands and products at scale. The Company’s current portfolio of consumer-packaged goods brands includes kynd, HAZE, Later Days, and Levia, and in select markets Origyn Extracts, STiX Preroll Co., Secret Orchard, Wicked, CannaPunch and Entourage, among others. The Company distributes and markets its products to Ayr-owned retail stores and to third-party licensed retail cannabis stores throughout Ayr’s operating footprint.

The Company does not currently accept payments for products or services online.

Forward-looking statements are provided for the purpose of presenting information about management’s current expectations and plans relating to the future, and readers are cautioned that such statements may not be appropriate for other purposes. These statements may include, without limitation, statements regarding the operations, business, financial condition, expected financial results, performance, prospects, opportunities, priorities, targets, goals, ongoing objectives, strategies, and outlook of the Company. Forward-looking statements are often identified by the words “pro forma”, “may”, “would”, “could”, “should”, “will”, “assume”, “intends”, “plans”, “anticipate”, “believes”, “estimates”, “projects”, “expects”, “targets”, “continue”, “forecasts”, “seeks”, “likely”, “design”, “goal” or negative versions thereof and other similar expressions.

By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties that may be general or specific and which give rise to the possibility that expectations, forecasts, predictions, projections, or conclusions will not prove to be accurate, that assumptions may not be correct, and that objectives, strategic goals and priorities will not be achieved. A variety of material factors, many of which are beyond the parties’ control, could affect operations, business, financial condition, performance, and results of the parties that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations of estimated or anticipated events or results.

Management’s Definition and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

Management reports certain non-GAAP measures that are used to evaluate the performance of such businesses and the performance of their respective states, as well as to manage their capital structure. As non-GAAP measures generally do not have a standardized meaning, they may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Securities regulations require such measures to be clearly defined and reconciled with their most directly comparable GAAP measure.

The Company references non-GAAP measures, including cannabis industry metrics, in this document and elsewhere. These are provided as additional information to complement those GAAP measures by providing further understanding of the results of the operations of the Company from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation, nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s financial information reported under GAAP. Non-GAAP measures used to analyze the performance of the Company include “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Adjusted Gross Profit”.

The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures may be useful to investors because they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. These financial measures are intended to highlight trends in the Company’s core businesses that may not otherwise be apparent when solely relying on the GAAP measures.

Adjusted EBITDA

“Adjusted EBITDA” represents (loss) income from continuing operations, as reported under GAAP, before interest and tax, adjusted to exclude non-core costs, other non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization and further adjusted to remove non-cash stock-based compensation, impairment expense, the incremental costs to acquire cannabis inventory in a business combination (when applicable; none of which was incurred for any of the periods presented), acquisition and transaction related costs, and start-up costs.

Adjusted Gross Profit

“Adjusted Gross Profit” represents gross profit, as reported under GAAP, adjusted to exclude the incremental costs to acquire cannabis inventory in a business combination (when applicable; none of which was incurred for any of the periods presented), interest, depreciation and amortization, start-up costs and other non-core costs.

Reconciliations are provided below.

Revenues, net of Discounts

Revenues, net of discounts for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, were $117,308 and $116,737, respectively, increasing $571 or 0.5%. Retail revenues decreased by $5,813 or approximately 5.6%, which was driven by a decrease in retail dollars for same-store sales of $8,962 or 8.6%, while the number of transactions has been roughly flat and partially offset by an increase of $3,137 from new store openings and acquisitions. Wholesale revenues grew by $6,384 or approximately 51.8%, primarily driven by a rapid increase in store openings in New Jersey, presenting increased wholesale opportunity and a modest increase in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Nevada and Massachusetts.

Revenues, net of discounts for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, were $235,348 and $234,402, respectively, increasing $946 or 0.4%. Retail revenues decreased by $9,321 or approximately 4.5%, which was driven by a decrease in retail dollars for same-store sales of $18,049 or 8.8%, while the number of transactions has been roughly flat and partially offset by an increase of $8,748 from new store openings and acquisitions. Wholesale revenues grew by $10,267 or approximately 38.6%, primarily driven by a rapid increase in store openings in New Jersey, presenting increased wholesale opportunity and a modest increase in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts and from our new cultivation facility coming online in the beginning of 2023 in Ohio.

Disaggregation of Revenue

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, was $47,159 and $56,647, respectively, a decrease of $9,488 or 16.7%. Gross profit percentage for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was 40.2% and 48.5%, respectively. Adjusted Gross Profit (non-GAAP) was 51.8% and 59.2%, respectively.

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, was $97,821 and $104,929, respectively, a decrease of $7,108 or 6.8%. Gross profit percentage for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was 41.6% and 44.8%, respectively. Adjusted Gross Profit (non-GAAP) was 52.4% and 57.3%, respectively.

The decrease in Gross Profit pertains to price compression in retail across the majority of our footprint, with outsize impact from wholesale in New Jersey, due to the rapid increase in competition from new store growth. In addition, increased utilization and production in some of our newer facilities is largely not yet reflected in the cost basis.

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, were $54,830 and $61,198, respectively, decreasing $6,638 or 10.4%. Total operating expenses as a percent of revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, were 46.7% and 52.4%, respectively. The decrease in total operating expenses was primarily attributable to lower payroll expenses, professional fees, acquisition and transaction costs and stock compensation.

Total operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, were $107,459 and $131,103, respectively, decreasing $23,644 or 18.0%. Total operating expenses as a percent of revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, were 45.7% and 55.9%, respectively. The decrease in total operating expenses was primarily attributable to lower payroll expenses, stock compensation, depreciation and amortization and acquisition and transaction costs.

Total Other (Expense) Income, net

Total other (expense) income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, was $(16,808) and $(13,765), respectively, decreasing $3,043 or 22.1%. The decrease for the period was primarily driven by the increase in interest expense of $9,381 due to the terms of the debt extension and new debts, this was partially offset by the $3,866 change in fair value on financial liabilities relating to the GSD NJ, LLC (“GSD”) and Sira Naturals, Inc. (“Sira”) earnout adjustment and the $2,862 recognition of a gain resulting from the reclassification of a cultivation facility lease, refer to Note 8, “Right-of-Use Assets and Lease Liabilities” of the interim financial statements for additional information.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense is recognized based on the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the period and the deferred tax, using tax rates enacted at year-end. The deferred tax benefit is mainly driven by changes in the amortization of intangibles.

The internal revenue service has taken the position that cannabis companies are subject to the limitations of Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 280E, under which such companies are only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to the sales of product. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC Section 280E and those allowed for financial statement reporting purposes (“book-to-tax” differences). Cannabis companies operating in states that align their tax codes with IRC Section 280E are also unable to deduct ordinary and necessary business expenses for state tax purposes. Ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-deductible under IRC Section 280E are treated as permanent book-to-tax differences. Therefore, the effective tax rate on income realized by cannabis companies can be highly variable and may not necessarily correlate with pre-tax income or loss. As of June 30, 2024, the Company recorded an uncertain tax liability totaling $97,649 for uncertain tax positions related to the treatment of certain transactions and deductions under IRC Section 280E based on legal interpretations that challenge the Company’s tax liability under IRC Section 280E; refer to Note 15, “Income Taxes,” in the interim financial statements for additional information. Subsequent to June 30, 2024, the Company received $1,261 in state refunds.

The Company’s quarterly tax provision is calculated under the discrete method which treats the interim period as if it were the annual period and determines the income tax expense or benefit on that basis. The discrete method is applied when application of the estimated annual effective tax rate is impractical because it is not possible to reliably estimate the annual effective tax rate. The Company believes, at this time, the use of this discrete method is more appropriate than the annual effective tax rate method due to the high degree of uncertainty in estimating annual pre-tax income due to the early growth stage of the business.

Total income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, was $14,827 and $12,887, respectively. Total income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, was $26,312 and $24,065, respectively.

Net loss attributable to Ayr Wellness Inc. from continuing operations

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $38,758 and $30,492, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by the factors described above.

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $144,833 and $39,850, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by the factors described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources as of June 30, 2024

Selected Liquidity and Capital Resource Information

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $47,483 and working capital of $80,952 compared to December 31, 2023, when the Company had cash of $50,766, and negative working capital of $7,258. The overall increase in working capital is primarily due to the decrease of $78,946 in income tax payable based on the Company’s legal interpretations that challenge the Company’s tax liability under IRC Section 280E, resulting in an uncertain tax position liability of $97,649. The Company re-evaluates the long-term classification of the uncertain tax liability with circumstances change, in accordance with ASC Topic 740. Given the uncertainty and the plausibility of expected timing of cash payments to be greater than 12 months, the uncertain tax position liability is currently reflected within non-current liabilities. If circumstances change that would impact the classification of the uncertain tax position liability from non-current to current liabilities, this will result in a decrease in working capital. Refer to the Capital Management section for additional information on the Company’s liquidity plan.

Summary of Future Commitments

Employee Retention Credit

In 2023, the Company filed for an Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”) claim amounting to approximately $12,354. During 2023, the Company received notices from the Internal Revenue Service for a total ERC refund of $5,238 and recorded a receivable included as part of prepaid expenses, deposits, and other current assets in the interim balance sheets and other income on the interim statements of operations. In accordance with ASC 958-605, the Company determined that the condition to record a receivable is met when the IRS confirms the claim is valid or the cash is received. Absent of any confirmation, there remains uncertainty as to whether the amounts will be received.

Due to the degree of uncertainty regarding the implementation of the CARES Act and other stimulus legislation and the nature of our business, although the Company expects to receive the remaining ERC, the Company determined that the remaining claim did not yet meet the criteria to record as a receivable as of June 30, 2024.

In May 2024, the Company received partial proceeds relating to its ERC refund in the amount of $2,728.

Selected Cash Flow Information

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $2,724 and $2,805, respectively, a decrease in cash provided by operating activities of $81. The change in trade payables of $11,488 was nearly fully offset by the corresponding change in inventory of $11,248.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities from continuing operations during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $(13,475) and $(25,076), respectively, a decrease of $11,601. The decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction in cash used for business combinations of $4,100, a decrease in the purchase of property, plant, and equipment of $3,517, a decrease in capitalized interest of $2,370 and a decrease in the purchase of intangible assets of $1,500.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by (used in) financing activities from continuing operations during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $7,468 and $(19,276), respectively, an increase of $26,744. The increase is primarily due to an increase from the proceeds of notes payable and financing transactions of $38,309, consisting of proceeds of $40,000 related to the debt restructuring and $8,400 of mortgage upsizing proceeds, offset by the $10,000 mortgage upsizing in the prior year. The increase was partially offset by repayment of debts payable of $2,500 and debt issuance costs paid of $9,096.

Capital Management

The Company’s short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to maintain our operations, repay borrowings and other general business needs. The Company plans to use existing funds, as well as funds from the future sale of products, to fund short-term working capital needs for at least the next 12 months. If these sources of liquidity need to be augmented, additional cash requirements would likely be sought to be financed through additional capital raises. The Company has raised capital through the issuance and/or refinancing of debt, or equity, to meet its needs and take advantage of perceived opportunities, however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue raising capital in this manner. In addition, further issuances of equity, convertible debt securities, or warrants could result in significant dilution to existing Equity Shares, and any new equity securities issued could have rights, preferences, or privileges superior to the existing Equity Shares. The Company’s long-term liquidity requirements will be affected by its ability to generate positive cash flow from operations and the ability to refinance existing debt on acceptable terms and/or raise equity.

Share Capital

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had share capital of $1,509,610 and $1,370,600, respectively, consisting of additional paid-in capital.

Number of Outstanding Shares

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had 23,033 Equity Shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants of the Company (“Warrants”), 5,201 restricted Exchangeable Share units, of which 1,300 are market and performance based, and 110 Equity Shares issuable upon the exercise of options. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had 2,874 Equity Shares issuable upon the exercise of Warrants, 4,989 restricted Exchangeable Share units, of which 1,300 are market and performance based, and 159 Equity Shares issuable upon the exercise of options. As of May 24, 2024, the 2,874 outstanding Warrants that were issued on May 24, 2019 with a strike price of $9.07 expired. On June 12, 2024, the Company retired 645 of Treasury Shares, constituting all the outstanding Treasury Shares.
