Financial Disclosure Advisory

Please note that Jushi issued a financial disclosure advisory in which it stated that:

1. the Company had not yet completed its reporting process for Q3 2022 and, as such, the Q3 results provided were only preliminary

Management Commentary

Jim Cacioppo, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman, and Founder of Jushi, said:

• “We remain focused on executing our strategic initiatives to strengthen and expand our operating platform [and in Q3] we:
  • bolstered our retail portfolio with the addition of two new stores in Virginia,
  • moved closer to full-scale production at our grower-processor facilities in Pennsylvania and Virginia,
  • and expanded our Jushi branded product portfolio across our operational vertically integrated markets.
• As we approach the end of the year, we expect to begin realizing the benefits of our efforts as we:
  • transform the business from substantially retail only and selling mostly third-party product, to a company that is vertically integrated.
• As we look out to 2023 and beyond, we anticipate that our sales growth and improved profitability will be driven by:
  • the growth of the Virginia market,
  • increased production and sell-through of high-quality products produced at our grower-processor facilities,
  • and...focused in markets that are well-positioned to take advantage of future state-level regulatory developments.
• I am incredibly pleased with the significant progress we have made year-to-date and remain highly confident in our market position as we close out the year.”
