  Content	Net revenue in Q2 increased by year-over-year PEACE NATURALS retained its position as the number one cannabis brand in Israel Highest-ever international and Israel revenue, fueled by strong global demand Industry-leading balance sheet with $834 million in total cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments TORONTO, Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cronos Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON) (TSX: CRON) (“Cronos” or the “Company”), today announced its 2025 second quarter business results. "Cronos delivered another quarter of strong performance, highlighted by record sales from Cronos Israel and continued momentum in international markets. Our strength abroad has been instrumental in driving meaningful margin improvement, underscoring the benefits of our global strategy. Our results in Israel reflect the strong demand for high-quality medical cannabis and the operational excellence of our team on the ground. Achieving a record quarter there is a testament to our ability to scale efficiently while meeting the needs of patients," said Mike Gorenstein, Chairman, President and CEO of Cronos. "In Canada, despite near-term flower supply constraints, our long-term fundamentals remain robust, supported by strategic investments and our consistent commitment to innovation. Our Lord Jones and Spinach brands are still delivering, and with our flower capacity expansion, leadership in edibles, a strong position in Israel's medical market with our PEACE NATURALS brand and a growing international footprint, we are well-positioned for accelerated growth in the second half of 2025. Our debt-free balance sheet and $834 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments provide superior flexibility to execute our strategy, expand globally, and deliver value to shareholders." Market share and ranking information from pharmacy data collected by Cronos - Q2 2025. Consolidated Financial Results On June 20, 2024 the Company made an additional investment (the "Cronos GrowCo Transaction") in Cronos Growing Company Inc. ("Cronos GrowCo") to fund the expansion of cultivation operations. Cronos also obtained majority control of the board of directors of Cronos GrowCo and began consolidating Cronos GrowCo's results as of July 1, 2024. Prior to that date, the Company's investment in Cronos GrowCo consisted of an investment accounted for under the equity method and loans receivable from Cronos GrowCo. The tables below set forth our condensed consolidated results of operations, expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars for the periods presented. Our condensed consolidated financial results for these periods are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated financial results that we will achieve in future periods. Second Quarter Net revenue of $33.5 million in Q2 2025 increased by $5.7 million from Q2 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher cannabis flower sales in Israel and other countries, which carry no excise taxes, the consolidation of Cronos GrowCo, and higher cannabis extract sales in the Canadian market. Cronos GrowCo contributed $2.2 million of cannabis flower sales in Q2 2025. No such sales were recognized for Q2 2024. Gross profit and Adjusted Gross Profit of $14.5 million in Q2 2025 increased by $8.2 million from Q2 2024. 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, and production efficiencies. Net loss of $38.5 million in Q2 2025 increased by $29.7 million from Q2 2024. The increase was primarily due to an unrealized foreign exchange loss on our U.S. dollar-denominated cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments held in Canada, driven by the Canadian dollar strengthening against the U.S. dollar, partially offset by higher gross profit and lower operating expenses. Adjusted EBITDA of $1.7 million in Q2 2025 improved by $12.7 million from Q2 2024. The improvement year-over-year was primarily driven by higher revenue, lower cost of sales due to the consolidation of Cronos GrowCo, as well as by lower operating expenses due to a decline in general and administrative costs. Business Updates Brand and Product Portfolio Spinach The Spinach brand ended Q2 2025 as the second most popular brand in Canada with 4.7% market share, and the third most popular flower brand in Canada, with 4.9% market share, despite ongoing flower supply constraints that have temporarily capped our growth potential. Our market share and popularity remaining strong in the face of limited availability attests to the exceptional popularity of Cronos' flower products. The team is strategically allocating inventory to ensure availability of top-selling products while preparing to unlock significant additional capacity in the fall of 2025 with the expansion of Cronos GrowCo. In Q2 2025, Cronos' performance continued to demonstrate strong consumer demand and brand strength in the edibles category, with five Spinach gummies ranking in the top 10 of all edible products in Canada. These industry-leading gummies maintained an impressive 19.9% market share in Q2 2025, which underscores Cronos' continued leadership in innovative, high-quality cannabis edibles and reinforces ongoing consumer loyalty to the Spinach brand. In Q2 2025, in the vape category, Cronos achieved the #4 position overall with 6.5% share, with the vape cartridges in the portfolio specifically ranking even higher at #2 with 8.4% share. In Q2 2025, the Spinach Pink Lemonade 1.2g vape cartridge was the best-selling 1.2g vape cartridge in Canada. Hifyre Retail Analytics - National Retail Dollar by Brand in Canada - Q2 2025. Lord Jones In Q2 2025, Lord Jones Chocolate Fusions™ had 10.2% market share and ended the second quarter as the third best-selling chocolate cannabis edible brand in Canada. Lord Jones Chocolate Fusions™ edibles highlight the brand's commitment to innovation and craftsmanship, now offering four unique flavors: cookies and cream, dazzle-berry pop, salted caramel crunch and fudge brownie bite. In Q2, the brand continued to strengthen its premium positioning in extracts, with the launch of Lord Jones Live Resin Caviar, with standout offerings like Gorilla Grape and Orange Velvet. These high-terpene, no-compromise extracts pair premium strains with state-of-the-art hardware, delivering a refined and flavorful experience. The Lord Jones brand is the category leader in the hash-infused pre-roll segment with an outstanding 28.5% market share. This #1 position highlights the brand's ability to create differentiated, high-quality products that resonate with discerning cannabis consumers. PEACE NATURALS In Israel, PEACE NATURALS continues to be the top-performing brand with record revenue and sales volume in Q2 2025. The PEACE NATURALS brand has thrived in Israel due to Cronos' advanced genetic breeding program, high-quality cultivation capabilities, and an industry-leading team in Israel. The PEACE NATURALS and Lit™ brands both launched several new flower strains in Q2 2025 to meet the growing demand for Cronos Israel's cannabis products. Internationally, PEACE NATURALS continues to enter new markets and build on its momentum in established ones. In the second quarter, the PEACE NATURALS brand was launched in the medical cannabis markets in Australia and Malta, as well as in Switzerland's medical market post quarter-end. The Company's medical brand has now expanded to seven global markets, including Canada, Israel, Germany, the United Kingdom ("UK"), Australia, Switzerland, and Malta. Cronos GrowCo Expansion The Cronos GrowCo expansion is now complete and we expect sales from the expansion in Fall 2025. The Company believes this additional supply will fuel growth internationally and within the domestic Canadian market. Proposed Anti-Dumping Duty in Israel: Update On July 3, 2025, the Israel Ministry of Justice announced that it had concluded that the Minister of Finance's veto of the proposed anti-dumping duty was valid. The Minister of Economy had sought to impose an anti-dumping duty of 165% on the Company's medical cannabis imports into Israel, which the Minister of Finance subsequently vetoed. This matter stems from an investigation launched in January 2024 into allegations of dumping of Canadian medical cannabis into Israel. The Company strongly refuted the allegations and is pleased with the decision to veto the proposed anti-dumping duty. Cronos will continue to advocate for a fair and equitable market structure that benefits Israel's medical cannabis patients. Investments In July Cronos invested in High Tide Inc. ("High Tide"), the operator of Canna Cabana, the largest cannabis retailer in Canada . We invested C$25.2 million (approximately $18.5 million USD ) in High Tide through a five-year junior secured convertible loan. The loan has a face value of C$30.0 million (approximately $22.1 million USD), reflecting a 16% original issue discount. The loan bears interest at 4% of the face value of the loan per annum, paid in cash quarterly, and, other than the amounts attributed to the original issue discount, is convertible into High Tide common shares upon the mutual agreement of Cronos and High Tide. The conversion price is C$4.20 per common share. The loan may be repaid early with no penalty. Additionally, with this investment we received a five-year common share purchase warrant exercisable into up to 3,836,317 common shares of High Tide at an exercise price of C$3.91 per warrant share. This investment helps preserve competition in the cannabis market, ensuring Cronos' brands remain competitive across Canada. We remain fully dedicated to all our retail partners and will continue to operate with fairness, transparency and integrity.

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.

Readers are cautioned to consider these and other factors, uncertainties and potential events carefully and not to put undue reliance on Forward-Looking Statements. Forward-Looking Statements are provided for the purposes of assisting the reader in understanding our financial performance, financial position and cash flows as of and for periods ended on certain dates and to present information about management's current expectations and plans relating to the future, and the reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on these Forward-Looking Statements because of their inherent uncertainty and to appreciate the limited purposes for which they are being used by management. While we believe that the assumptions and expectations reflected in the Forward-Looking Statements are reasonable based on information currently available to management, there is no assurance that such assumptions and expectations will prove to have been correct. Forward-Looking Statements are made as of the date they are made and are based on the beliefs, estimates, expectations and opinions of management on that date. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any Forward-Looking Statements, whether as a result of new information, estimates or opinions, future events or results or otherwise or to explain any material difference between subsequent actual events and such Forward-Looking Statements. The Forward-Looking Statements contained in this press release and other reports we file with, or furnish to, the SEC and other regulatory agencies and made by our directors, officers, other employees and other persons authorized to speak on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. As used in this press release, “CBD” means cannabidiol and “U.S. hemp” has the meaning given to the term “hemp” in the U.S. Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018, including hemp-derived CBD. 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; 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 financial statement review costs related to the restatements of our 2019 and 2021 interim financial statements (the “Restatements”), including 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. The following tables set forth a reconciliation of Net income (loss) as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated: For the three months ended June 30, 2025 Adjusted EBITDA was $1.7 million, representing an improvement of $12.7 million from three months ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, Adjusted EBITDA was $4.0 million, representing an improvement of $25.7 million from the six months ended June 30, 2024. The improvement year-over-year was primarily driven by higher revenue, lower cost of sales due to the consolidation of Cronos GrowCo, as well as by 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. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 Adjusted Gross Profit was $14.5 million, representing an increase of $8.2 million from three months ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, Adjusted Gross Profit was $28.8 million, representing an increase of $18.0 million from the six months ended June 30, 2024. 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, and production efficiencies. 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 six months ended June 30, 2025, as well as cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment balances as of June 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 six 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. All growth comparisons relate to the corresponding period in 2024. We have provided this non-GAAP financial information to aid investors in better understanding the performance of our operations. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The table below sets forth certain measures of consolidated results from continuing operations on a constant currency basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 as well as cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, both on an as-reported and constant currency basis (in thousands): Net revenue For the three months ended June 30, 2025, net revenue on a constant currency basis was $33.3 million, representing a 20% increase from the three months ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net revenue on a constant currency basis was $67.0 million, representing a 26% increase from the six months ended June 30, 2024. On a constant currency basis, net revenue increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to higher cannabis flower sales in Israel and other countries, which carry no excise taxes, the consolidation of Cronos GrowCo, and higher cannabis extract sales in the Canadian market. On a constant currency basis, the consolidation of Cronos GrowCo as a result of the Cronos GrowCo Transaction contributed $2.2 million and $5.3 million, respectively, of cannabis flower sales in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. No such sales were recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Gross profit For the three months ended June 30, 2025, gross profit on a constant currency basis was $14.4 million, representing a 129% increase from the three months ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, gross profit on a constant currency basis was $28.6 million, representing a 166% increase from the six months ended June 30, 2024. On a constant currency basis, gross profit increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, 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, and production efficiencies. On a constant currency basis, for the six months ended June 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 June 30, 2025, or the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Operating expenses For the three months ended June 30, 2025, operating expenses on a constant currency basis were $19.8 million, representing a 9% decrease from the three months ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, operating expenses on a constant currency basis were $38.3 million, representing a 9% decrease from the six months ended June 30, 2024. On a constant currency basis, operating expenses decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to lower salaries and benefits, higher expected credit loss allowance on loans receivable recorded in the prior period, and lower share-based compensation expense, partially offset by higher sales and marketing expenses and restructuring costs and the consolidation of Cronos GrowCo. On a constant currency basis, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the consolidation of Cronos GrowCo increased operating expenses by $1.0 million and $1.9 million, respectively. No such costs were recorded in the three or six months ended June 30, 2024. Operating expenses on a constant currency basis also declined for the six months ended June 30, 2025 due to lower impairment loss on long-lived assets. Net loss For the three months ended June 30, 2025, net loss on a constant currency basis was $39.8 million, representing an increased loss of $31.0 million from the three months ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net loss on a constant currency basis was $32.5 million, representing an increased loss of $21.2 million from six months ended June 30, 2024. On a constant currency basis, the increased net loss was primarily due to an unrealized foreign exchange loss on our U.S. dollar-denominated cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments held in Canada, driven by the Canadian dollar strengthening against the U.S. dollar, partially offset by higher gross profit and lower operating expenses. Adjusted EBITDA For the three months ended June 30, 2025, Adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis was $1.6 million, representing a $12.6 million improvement from the three months ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, Adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis was $3.9 million, representing a $25.6 million improvement from the six months ended June 30, 2024. The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 on a constant currency basis was driven by higher gross profit, as well as by 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 3% to $832.6 million as of June 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, repurchases of common stock, dividend payments to non-controlling interests and withholding taxes paid on share-based awards in the six months ended June 30, 2025.
