(“Village Farms” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: VFF) today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2025. All figures are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. Management Commentary “The Company delivered another quarter of record financial performance that demonstrates our continued success profitably scaling what we believe is one of the most attractive platforms for value creation in the global cannabis industry,” said Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer Michael DeGiglio. “Our team achieved several new performance records in Q3, with both year-over-year and sequential increases in each of net income from continuing operations, adjusted EBITDA and cash flow from operations. Congratulations to all our Village Farms team members around the world whose hard work, tenacity and integrity are continuing to enable our success.” “In Canada, our recent efforts to align our product portfolio toward higher margin SKUs is driving sales growth in targeted channels and, along with our expanding international export sales, we delivered 29% year-over-year growth in net sales, record gross margin of 56%, a 900% year-over-year increase in net income, a 306% increase in adjusted EBITDA and a 331% increase in cash flow from operations. Our previously announced 40 metric ton capacity expansion project is now underway and will ramp through 2026, supporting further growth in our Canadian and international export markets with the consistent supply of quality cannabis products the world expects from Village Farms.” “In the Netherlands, we experienced continued momentum in sales growth during the third quarter and our Drachten facility has now reached its full operating capacity. Our team has continued to improve our portfolio of product offerings to coffeeshops as well as our overall market penetration, and we remain very pleased with our competitive position in the Dutch market. Construction of our second and larger Dutch facility, which will expand production capacity five-fold, is progressing on plan and remains on schedule to be operational during the first quarter of next year. Once complete, we expect this facility to enable us to drive further improvements in revenue growth and cash flow generation for the Company.” Story Continues “Our strong third quarter performance also drove another quarter of continued healthy cash flows from operations of $24.4 million, bringing our total cash position at quarter end to $87.6 million. Our significantly improved cash flow generation profile and balance sheet will enable us to continue expansion projects and possible strategic investments, and gave our Board of Directors confidence to initiate a share repurchase program at the end of the third quarter as part of a balanced approach to capital allocation to drive returns to shareholders.” “Looking ahead, we remain highly motivated to exceed our own expectations and are confident in our ability to continue driving profitable sales growth and strong cash flow generation. With capacity expansion projects in Europe and Canada coming online next year, along with the strength of our balance sheet and our focus on continuous improvement, we see a very bright future for Village Farms as we continue executing our growth strategy and pursuing various expansion opportunities around the world.” Third Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights (All comparable periods are for the third quarter of 2024 unless otherwise stated) Consolidated Consolidated net sales increased 21% to $66.7 million from $54.9 million; Consolidated net income from continuing operations was $10.8 million, or $0.09 per share compared with a net loss of $0.8 million, or ($0.01) per share; Consolidated cash flow from operations was $24.4 million compared with $6.5 in the prior year period; YTD consolidated cash flow from operations was $46.7 million compared with $2.8 million; and, Consolidated adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations (a non-GAAP measure) was $20.7 million or 31.0% of sales, compared with $4.7 million or 8.5% of sales in the prior year period.

Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of the Company because it excludes non-recurring and other items that do not reflect our business performance. Adjusted EBITDA includes the Company’s 70% interest in Rose LifeScience through March 31, 2024, 80% interest in Rose LifeScience beginning on April 1, 2024, 85% interest in Leli through September 22, 2024, and our 100% interest in Leli beginning on September 23, 2024. We caution that our results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024 may not be indicative of our future performance.
