Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that we believe are, or may be considered to be, “forward-looking statements.” All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this document regarding the prospects of our industry or our prospects, plans, financial position or business strategy may constitute forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “foresee,” “project,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “forecast,” “continue” or “could” or the negative of these terms or variations of them or similar terms. Furthermore, forward-looking statements may be included in various filings that we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), press releases or oral statements made by or with the approval of one of our authorized executive officers. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that these expectations will prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in these forward-looking statements. These known and unknown risks include, without limitation: marijuana remains illegal under federal law, and enforcement of cannabis laws could change;, the Company may face limitations on ownership of cannabis licenses; the Company may become subject to U.S. Food and Drug Administration or the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms; the Company may face difficulties acquiring additional financing; the Company operates in a highly regulated sector and may not always succeed in complying fully with applicable regulatory requirements in all jurisdictions where we carry on business; the Company is subject to general economic risks; the Company may be negatively impacted by challenging global economic condition; the Company is subject to risks arising from epidemic diseases, such as the recent outbreak of the COVID-19 illness; the Company may face difficulties in enforcing its contracts; the Company is subject to taxation in Canada and the United States; cannabis businesses are subject to unfavorable tax treatment; cannabis businesses may be subject to civil asset forfeiture; the Company is subject to proceeds of crime statutes; the Company faces security risks; our use of joint ventures may expose us to risks associated with jointly owned investments; competition for the acquisition and leasing of properties suitable for the cultivation, production and sale of medical and adult use cannabis may impede our ability to make acquisitions or increase the cost of these acquisitions, which could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition; the Company faces risks related to its products; the Company is dependent on the popularity of consumer acceptance of the Company’s brand portfolio; the Company faces risks related to its insurance coverage and uninsurable risks; the Company is dependent on key inputs, suppliers and skilled labor; the Company must attract and maintain key personnel or our business will fail; the Company’s business is subject to the risks inherent in agricultural operations; the Company’s sales are difficult to forecast; the Company’s products may be subject to product recalls; the Company may face unfavorable publicity or consumer perception; the Company faces intense competition; the Company’s voting control is concentrated; the Company’s capital structure and voting control may cause unpredictability; and additional issuances of Super Voting Shares, Multiple Voting Shares or Subordinate Voting Shares may result in dilution. Further information on these and other potential factors that could affect the Company’s business and financial condition and the results of operations are included in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and elsewhere in the Company’s filings with the SEC, which are available on the SEC’s website or at https://investors.gtigrows.com.

Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to any forward-looking statements.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Amounts Expressed in United States Dollars, Except Where Stated Otherwise)

1.     Overview and Basis of Presentation

 

(a) Description of Business

Green Thumb Industries Inc. (“Green Thumb” or the “Company”) is promoting well-being through the power of cannabis through branded consumer packaged goods and people-first retail experiences, while being committed to community and sustainable profitable growth. Green Thumb owns, manufactures, and distributes a portfolio of cannabis consumer packaged goods brands including Beboe, Dogwalkers, Dr. Solomon’s, incredibles, Rythm and The Feel Collection, primarily to third-party retail stores across the United States as well as to Green Thumb owned retail stores. The Company also owns and operates retail cannabis stores that include a rapidly growing national chain of retail cannabis stores called Risetm and a Las Vegas, Nevada area chain of retail cannabis stores called Essence. As of March 31, 2020, Green Thumb has operating revenue in twelve markets (California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania).

On June 12, 2018, the Company completed a reverse takeover transaction (“RTO”) as further described in Note 3 of Green Thumb’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on April 15, 2020 (“2019 Form 10-K”). Following the RTO, the Company was listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) under ticker symbol “GTII” and on the OTCQX, part of the OTC Markets Group, under the ticker “GTBIF”.

The Company’s registered office is located at 885 West Georgia Street, Suite 2200, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3E8, Canada. The Company’s U.S. headquarters are at 325 W. Huron St., Suite 412, Chicago, IL 60654.

(b) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Green Thumb Industries Inc. and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and, accordingly, certain information, footnotes and disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been condensed or omitted in accordance with SEC rules and regulations. The financial data presented herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated and combined financial statements and accompanying notes included in the 2019 Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the financial data presented includes all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Results of interim periods should not be considered indicative of the results for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include estimates and assumptions of management that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2020.

(c) Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in Note 2 of the Company’s 2019 Form 10-K.

(d) Loss per Share

Basic loss per share is calculated using the treasury stock method, by dividing the net loss attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each of the periods presented. Contingently issuable shares (including shares held in escrow) are not considered outstanding common shares and consequently are not included in the loss per share calculations. Diluted loss per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of common shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential common shares. The Company has three categories of potentially dilutive common share equivalents: restricted stock units, stock options and warrants. At March 31, 2020, the Company had 5,974,938 options outstanding, 1,477,898 restricted stock units and 2,387,470 warrants outstanding. At March 31, 2019, the Company had 2,411,192 options outstanding, 1,585,000 restricted stock units outstanding and no warrants outstanding.

In order to determine diluted loss per share, it is assumed that any proceeds from the exercise of dilutive stock options would be used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. The diluted loss per share calculation excludes any potential conversion of stock options and convertible debt that would decrease loss per share. As a result, the Company’s calculation of basic loss per share and diluted loss per share include the same number of share equivalents for three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

(e) Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

 

  (i)

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which replaces the incurred loss model with a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to explain credit loss estimates. This standard applies to financial assets, measured at amortized cost, including loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, net investments in leases and trade accounts receivable. The guidance must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition method through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

  (ii)

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04 “Intangibles— Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2017-04”), which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment. ASU 2017-04 requires entities to record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value (Step 1 under the current impairment test). The standard eliminates Step 2 from the current goodwill impairment test, which included determining the implied fair value of goodwill and comparing it with the carrying amount of that goodwill. ASU 2017-04 must be applied prospectively and is effective in the first quarter of 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the new standard in the first quarter of 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

  (iii)

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). ASU 2018-13 adds, modifies, and removes certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted the new standard in the first quarter of 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

(f) Coronavirus Pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic. COVID-19 continues to spread throughout the U.S. and other countries across the world, and the duration and severity of its effects are currently unknown. The Company is implementing and evaluating actions to strengthen its financial position and support the continuity of its business and operations.

The Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein reflect estimates and assumptions made by management that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Such estimates and assumptions affect, among other things, the Company’s goodwill, long-lived asset and intangible assets; operating lease right of use assets and operating lease liabilities; assessment of the annual effective tax rate; valuation of deferred income taxes; the allowance for doubtful accounts; assessment of our lease and non-lease contract expenses; and measurement of compensation cost for bonus and other compensation plans. The Company’s assessment of conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate it will be able to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date of these financial statements. There continues to be a high level of uncertainty in estimating the expected economic and operational impacts relative to COVID-19 as it is an evolving situation. The estimates and assumptions used in the first quarter 2020 financial statements may change in future periods as the expected impacts from COVID-19 are revised, resulting in further potential impacts to the Company’s financial statements.

4.     INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL

 

Intangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date. Amortization of definite life intangibles is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each intangible. The estimated useful lives, residual values, and amortization methods are reviewed at each year end, and any changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively.

5.     LEASES

 

(a) Operating Leases Under Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires lessees to put most leases on the balance sheet but recognize expense on the income statement in a manner similar to current accounting. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the standard and all related amendments, using the optional transition method (modified retrospective approach) applied to leases at the adoption date. Under the modified retrospective approach, comparative periods have not been restated and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. Additionally, an adjustment was recorded to retrained earnings to account for the initial adoption of the standard.

For additional information regarding the adoption of Account Standards Updated No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” see Note 9 – Leases in the 2019 Form 10-K.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded a gain on the reduction in the fair value of the warrant liability of $7,382,843 within Other Income (Expense) on the consolidated statement of operations.

The following table summarizes the significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of the warrant liability as of each reporting date:

Risk Free Rate

     0.50% - 0.60     1.68% - 1.69

8.     INCOME TAXES

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s income tax expense and effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019:

 

     Three Months Ended March 31,  
     2020     2019  

Income before Income Taxes

   $ 9,385,440     $ (8,468,055

Income Tax Expense

     13,149,000       1,236,000  

Effective Tax Rate

     140.1     (14.6 %) 

The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 were based on the Company’s forecasted annualized effective tax rates and were adjusted for discrete items that occurred within the periods presented.

Due to its cannabis operations, the Company is subject to the limitations of Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 280E under which the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to sales of product. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC Section 280E.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 varies widely from the three months ended March 31, 2019 primarily due to the Company reporting pre-tax loss in 2019 as opposed to pre-tax income in 2020. The large amount of nondeductible expenses incurred by the Company subject to IRC Section 280E, was the driver for income tax expense being incurred in a pre-tax loss quarter for 2019.

At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the fair value of these investments was $7,533,000 at the end of each period. The Company also holds direct equity investments in cannabis companies. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the fair value of these investments was $6,320,213 and $6,535,821, respectively.

The following table summarizes the change in the Company’s investments as of March 31, 2020:

10.     SHARE CAPITAL

 

Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of shares are recognized as a deduction from equity. The proceeds from the exercise of stock options or warrants together with amounts previously recorded in reserves over the vesting periods are recorded as share capital. Income tax relating to transaction costs of an equity transaction is accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, Income Taxes.

 

  (a)

Authorized

The Company has the following classes of share capital, with each class having no par value:

 

  (i)

Subordinate Voting Shares

The holders of the Subordinate Voting Shares are entitled to receive dividends which may be declared from time to time, and are entitled to one vote per share at shareholder meetings of the Company. All Subordinate Voting Shares are ranked equally with regard to the Company’s residual assets. The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of no par value Subordinate Voting Shares. During the three months ending March 31, 2020, the shareholders of the Company converted 134,846 Multiple Voting Shares into 13,484,600 Subordinate Voting Shares and 11,475 Super Voting Shares into 1,147,500 Subordinate Voting Shares.

 

  (ii)

Multiple Voting Shares

Each Multiple Voting Share is entitled to one hundred votes per share at shareholder meetings of the Company and is exchangeable for 100 Subordinate Voting Shares. At March 31, 2020, the Company has 238,504 issued and outstanding Multiple Voting Shares, which convert into 23,850,400 Subordinate Voting Shares. The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Multiple Voting Shares. During the three months ending March 31, 2020, the shareholders of the Company converted 11,475 Super Voting Shares into 11,475 Multiple Voting Shares.

 

  (iii)

Super Voting Shares

Each Super Voting Share is entitled to one thousand votes per share at shareholder meetings of the Company and is exchangeable for 100 Subordinate Voting Shares. At March 31, 2020, the Company has 390,814 issued and outstanding Super Voting Shares which convert into 39,081,400 Subordinate Voting Shares. The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Super Voting Shares. During the three months ending March 31, 2020, the shareholders of the Company converted 11,475 Super Voting Shares into 11,475 Multiple Voting Shares.

(c)     Stock-Based Compensation

The Company operates equity settled stock-based remuneration plans for its eligible directors, officers, employees and consultants. All goods and services received in exchange for the grant of any stock-based payments are measured at their fair value unless the fair value cannot be estimated reliably. If the Company cannot estimate reliably the fair value of the goods and services received, the Company shall measure their value indirectly by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. For transactions with employees and others providing similar services, the Company measures the fair value of the services by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted.

Equity settled stock-based payments under stock-based payments plans are ultimately recognized as an expense in profit or loss with a corresponding credit to reserve for stock-based payments, in equity.

The Company recognizes compensation expense for Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) and options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. Non-market vesting conditions are included in the assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. Estimates are subsequently revised if there is any indication that the number of share options expected to vest differs from the previous estimate. Any cumulative adjustment prior to vesting is recognized in the current period. No adjustment is made to any expense recognized in prior periods if share options ultimately exercised are different to that estimated on vesting.

In June 2018, the Company established the Green Thumb Industries Inc. 2018 Stock and Incentive Plan, which was amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto (as amended, the “Plan”). The maximum number of shares issued under the Plan shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding shares.

Option and RSU grants generally vest over one to three years, and options typically have a life of five or ten years. Option grants are determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board with the option price set at no less than 100% of the fair market value of a share on the date of grant. Stock option activity is summarized as follows:

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their in-the-money options on March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. This amount will change in future periods based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock and the number of options outstanding. There were no options exercised for the three months ending March 31, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019.

10.     SHARE CAPITAL (Continued)

 

(c)     Stock-Based Compensation (continued)

 

The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of the options at the grant date using the following ranges of assumptions:

 

Risk-free interest rate

     0.75% - 2.33%  

Expected dividend yield

     0%  

Expected volatility

     80% - 100%  

Expected option life

     3 – 10 years  

As the Company became publicly traded in June 2018, sufficient historical trading information was not available to determine an expected volatility rate. The volatility rate was based on comparable companies within the same industry. As permitted under ASC 718, the Company has made an accounting policy choice to account for forfeitures when they occur.

The following table summarizes the number of non-vested RSU awards as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and the changes during the year ended December 31, 2019:

 

     Number of Shares      Weighted Average

As of March 31, 2020, $33,957,180 of total unrecognized expense related to Stock Based Compensation awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.29 years.

(d)     Contingent Consideration

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company issued 1,067,168 Subordinate Voting Shares to the previous owners of certain entities in connection with acquisitions completed during 2019. Upon issuance, the Company recorded a reduction of $8,967,257 to contingent consideration payable and a corresponding increase in share capital.

12.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company is subject to lawsuits, investigations and other claims related to employment, commercial and other matters that arise out of operations in the normal course of business. Periodically, the Company reviews the status of each significant matter and assesses the potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable, and the amount can be reliably estimated, such amount is recognized in other liabilities.

Contingent liabilities are measured at management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period and are discounted to present value where the effect is material. The Company performs evaluations to identify onerous contracts and, where applicable, records contingent liabilities for such contracts.

Contingent consideration is measured upon acquisition and is estimated using probability weighting of potential payouts. Subsequent changes in the estimated contingent consideration from the final purchase price allocation are recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

 

  (a)

Contingencies

The Company’s operations are subject to a variety of local and state regulation. Failure to comply with one or more of those regulations could result in fines, restrictions on its operations, or losses of permits that could result in the Company ceasing operations in that specific state or local jurisdiction. While management believes that the Company is in compliance with applicable local and state regulations at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, cannabis regulations continue to evolve and are subject to differing interpretations. As a result, the Company may be subject to regulatory fines, penalties, or restrictions in the future.

 

  (b)

Claims and Litigation

From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of the Company’s consolidated operations. There are also no proceedings in which any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the Company’s interest.

  (c)

Construction Commitments

As of March 31, 2020, the Company held $5,131,995 of open commitments to contractors on work being performed.

13.    FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

 

The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities that are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers all related factors of the asset by market participants in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and credit risk.

The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels, and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

 

  Level

1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

  Level

2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

 

  Level

3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, member contribution receivable, notes receivable, due from related parties, investments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable, derivative liability, liability for acquisition of noncontrolling interest and contingent consideration payable.

Financial instruments recorded at fair value are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs to fair value measurements. The fair values of the Company’s financial instruments associated with each of the three levels of the hierarchy are:

 

     As of March 31, 2020

There have been no transfers between fair value levels during the periods ended March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Financial Risk Management

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Company’s Board of Directors mitigates these risks by assessing, monitoring and approving the Company’s risk management processes:

 

  (a)

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of a potential loss to the Company if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The maximum credit exposure at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents. The Company does not have significant credit risk with respect to its customers. All cash and cash equivalents are placed with major U.S. financial institutions.

The Company provides credit to its customers in the normal course of business and has established credit evaluation and monitoring processes to mitigate credit risk but has limited risk as the majority of its sales are transacted with cash. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $794,000 of accounts receivable that were past due (greater than 90 days). Given management’s expectation that any credit losses will be nominal, no provision is provided.

 

  (b)

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk through the effective management of its capital structure. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity at all times to settle obligations and liabilities when due.

In addition to the commitments outlined in Note 12, the Company has the following contractual obligations:

 

     <1 Year      1 to 3 Years      3 to 5 Years      >5 Years      Total

13.    FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

 

 

  (c)

Market and Interest Rate Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Cash and cash equivalents bear interest at market rates. The Company’s financial debts have fixed rates of interest and therefore expose the Company to a limited interest rate fair value risk.

14.    VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

 

The following table represents the summarized financial information about the Company’s consolidated variable interest entities (VIEs) which are included in the consolidated balance sheets and statements of operation as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. All these entities were determined to be VIEs as the Company possesses the power to direct activities through management services agreements (MSAs).

15. SEGMENT REPORTING

 

The Company operates in two segments: the cultivation, production and sale of cannabis products to retail stores (“Consumer Packaged Goods”), and retailing of cannabis to patients and consumers (“Retail”). The Company does not allocate operating expenses to these business units, nor does it allocate specific assets. Additionally, the Chief Operating Decision Maker does not review total assets or net income (loss) by segments; therefore, such information is not presented below.

The below table presents revenues by type for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

The Company’s assets are aggregated into two reportable segments (Retail and Consumer Packaged Goods). For the purposes of testing goodwill, Green Thumb has identified 22 reporting units. The Company analyzed its reporting units by first reviewing the operating segments based on the geographic areas in which Green Thumb conducts business (or each market). The markets were then further divided into reporting units based on the market operations (Retail and Consumer Packaged Goods) which were primarily determined based on the licenses each market holds. All revenues are derived from customers domiciled in the United States and all assets are located in the United States.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

This management discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) of the financial condition and results of operations of Green Thumb Industries Inc. (the “Company” or “Green Thumb”) is for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. It is supplemental to, and should be read in conjunction with, the Company’s Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2020 and the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission on April 15, 2019 (the “2019 Form 10-K”) and the accompanying notes for each respective periods. The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Financial information presented in this MD&A is presented in United States dollars (“$” or “US$”), unless otherwise indicated.

This MD&A contains certain “forward-looking statements” and certain “forward-looking information” as defined under applicable United States securities laws. Please refer to the discussion of forward-looking statements and information set out under the heading “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information,” identified in the ‘‘Risks and Uncertainties’’ section of this MD&A and in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors.” As a result of many factors, the Company’s actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements and information.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic. COVID-19 continues to spread throughout the U.S. and other countries across the world, and the duration and severity of its effects are currently unknown. The Company is implementing and evaluating actions to strengthen its financial position and support the continuity of its business and operations.

COVID-19 Considerations

The Company’s priorities during the COVID-19 pandemic are protecting the health and safety of its employees and its customers, following the recommended actions of government and health authorities. In the future, the pandemic may cause reduced demand for our products and services if, for example, the pandemic results in a recessionary economic environment. However, given the Company’s operations have been deemed essential services, the Company believes that there will continue to be strong demand for our products.

Operations of the Company are currently ongoing as the cultivation, processing and sale of cannabis products is currently considered an essential business by all states in which the Company operates with respect to all customers (except in Massachusetts where only medical use cannabis has been deemed essential). Our ability to continue to operate without any significant negative operational impact from the COVID-19 pandemic will in part depend on our ability to protect our employees, customers and supply chain.

The pandemic has not materially impacted our business operations or liquidity position to date. The Company continues to generate operating cash flows to meet our short-term liquidity needs. In all locations where applicable regulations have been enacted by governmental authorities, the Company has expanded consumer delivery options and curbside pickup to help further protect the health and safety of our employees and customers.

While during the first quarter of 2020 our revenue, gross profit and operating income were not impacted and we maintained the consistency of our operations, the uncertain nature of the spread of COVID-19 may impact our business operations for reasons including the potential quarantine of our employees or those of our supply chain partners.

For additional information on risk factors related to the pandemic or other risks that could impact our results, please refer to “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The following table sets forth the Company’s selected consolidated financial data for the periods, and as of the dates, indicated. The (i) consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss data for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 and (ii) consolidated balance sheet data as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 have been derived from the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, which are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The data set forth below should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes presented in Item 1 of this Report. The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and on a going-concern basis that contemplates continuity of operations and realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY

Established in 2014 and headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, Green Thumb is promoting well-being through the power of cannabis, while being committed to community and sustainable profitable growth. As of March 31, 2020, Green Thumb has operations across 12 U.S. markets, employs over 1,700 people and serves hundreds of thousands of patients and customers annually.

Green Thumb’s core business is manufacturing, distributing and marketing a portfolio of owned cannabis consumer packaged goods brands (which we refer to as our consumer packaged goods business), including Beboe, Dogwalkers, Dr. Solomon’s, incredibles, Rythm and The Feel Collection. We distribute and market these products primarily to third-party licensed retail cannabis stores across the United States as well as to Green Thumb-owned retail stores (which we refer to as our Retail business).

The Company’s Consumer Packaged Goods portfolio is primarily generated from plant material that Green Thumb grows and processes itself, which we use to produce our consumer packaged goods in 13 manufacturing facilities. This portfolio consists of stock keeping units (“SKUs”) across a range of cannabis product categories, including flower, pre-rolls, concentrates, vape, capsules, tinctures, edibles, topicals and other cannabis-related products (none of which product categories are individually material to the Company). These Consumer Packaged Goods products are sold in over 700 retail locations, including Green Thumb’s own Rise and Essence dispensaries.

Green Thumb also owns and operates a national cannabis retail chain called Rise, and in the Las Vegas, Nevada area, a chain of stores called Essence, which are relationship-centric retail experiences aimed to deliver a superior level of customer service through high-engagement consumer interaction, a consultative, transparent and education-forward selling approach and a consistently available assortment of cannabis products. In addition, we own stores under other names, primarily where we co-own the stores or naming is subject to licensing or similar restrictions. The income from our retail stores is primarily from the sale of cannabis-related products, which includes the sale of Green Thumb produced products as well as those produced by third parties, with an immaterial (under 10%) portion of this income resulting from the sale of other merchandise (such as t-shirts and accessories for cannabis use). Our Rise stores currently are located in eight of the states in which we operate (including Nevada). Our Essence stores were acquired in connection with the 2019 acquisition of Integral Associates and are located in Nevada. The Essence stores differ from the Rise stores mainly in geographic location. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had 42 open and operating retail locations, with state licensed permission to open a total of 96 stores. The Company’s new store opening plans will remain fluid depending on market conditions, obtaining local licensing, construction and other permissions and subject to our capital allocation plans and the evolving situation with respect to the COVID-19 as described above and under the heading “Liquidity, Financing Activities During the Period, and Capital Resources” below.

Revenue Streams

The Company has consolidated financial statements across its operating businesses with revenue from the manufacture, sale and distribution of branded cannabis products to third-party retail customers as well as the sale of finished products to consumers in its retail stores.

As of March 31, 2020, Green Thumb has operating revenue in its 12 markets (California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania).

Results of Operations - Consolidated

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020

Revenue

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $102,602,602, up 268% from $27,913,163 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 driven by contribution from both Consumer Packaged Goods and Retail sales across Illinois, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Connecticut. Key performance drivers are: the addition of adult use sales in Illinois; the addition of the Essence stores in Nevada; increased distribution of Green Thumb’s branded product portfolio to third-party retailers in Illinois, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Connecticut; new stores in Pennsylvania, Florida, Illinois, Connecticut, Ohio, New Jersey and New York; and increased store traffic to Green Thumb’s open and operating brick and mortar Retail stores. The Company generated revenue from 42 Retail locations during the quarter compared to 15 in the prior year. The following stores were acquired in 2019 and contributed to the increase in Retail revenues: three Essence stores in Nevada, one Illinois store, two Connecticut stores and three New York stores. In addition, 18 new Retail locations were opened in Pennsylvania, Florida, Illinois, Ohio and New Jersey. The key drivers for the Consumer Packaged Goods revenue increase was the addition of two acquired locations from Integral Associates in Nevada and Advanced Grow Labs in Connecticut along with expansion at the Company’s existing Consumer Packaged Goods cultivation and processing facilities in Illinois, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold are derived from cost related to the internal cultivation and our branded Consumer Packaged Goods and production of cannabis and from retail purchases made from other licensed producers operating within our state markets. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $49,615,188, up 228% from $15,123,942 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, driven by the addition new Retail stores in Illinois and Pennsylvania and increased volume in open and operating Retail stores; and expansion of the consumer products sales in Illinois, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Connecticut as described above.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $52,987,414, representing a gross margin on the sale of branded cannabis flower and processed and packaged products including concentrates, edibles, topicals and other cannabis products, of 52%. This is compared to gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2019 of $12,789,221 or a 46% gross margin. The Company’s increase in gross margin percentage was mainly attributed to improved margins in Retail as well as operating leverage experienced at the Company’s Consumer Packaged Goods cultivation and processing facilities. The increase in gross profit was directly attributable to the revenue increase as further described above.

Total Expenses

Total expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $45,434,757 or 44% of total revenues, net of discounts, an increase of $19,015,876. Total expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $26,418,881 or 95% of total revenues, net of discounts.

The increase in total expenses was attributable to an increase in intangible amortization expense, and Retail and corporate staff salaries and benefits in addition to other operational expenses mainly as a result of the Company’s new and acquired Retail facilities further described above under “Revenue” as compared to last year. The decrease in expenses as a percent of revenue was attributable to measures deployed to control variable expenses as well as inherent operating leverage caused by the significant increase in revenue.

Total Other Income (Expense)

Total other income (expense) for three months ended March 31, 2020 was $1,832,783, a decrease of $3,328,822 compared to 2019, mainly due to interest expense in the current year as a result of the May 2019 debt issuance.

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, 2020, Federal and State income tax expense totaled $13,149,000 compared to expense of $1,236,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 varies widely from the three months ended March 31, 2019 primarily due to the change in pre-tax loss in 2019 to pre-tax income in 2020. The large amount of nondeductible expenses incurred by the Company being subjected to IRC Section 280E, was the driver for income tax expense being incurred in a pre-tax loss quarter for 2019.

Income (Loss) From Operations

Net operating income before other income, provision for income taxes and non-controlling interest for three months ended March 31, 2020 was $9,385,440 an increase of $17,853,495 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019.

As presented under the heading “Non-GAAP Measures” below, after adjusting for non-cash equity incentive compensation, as well as other nonoperating items, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, other income, and one-time transaction related expenses, (“Adjusted Operating EBITDA”) was $25,544,924 and ($2,116,045) for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The increase in pretax income and Adjusted Operating EBITDA was attributed to contributions from new and acquired locations along with the Company’s focus on sustainable growth while deploying measures to control variable expenses.

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $27,913,163, up 155% from $10,925,898 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 driven by contribution from both Consumer Packaged Goods and Retail sales across Illinois, Nevada, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Connecticut. Key performance drivers are: distribution expansion of Green Thumb’s branded product portfolio to third-party retailers in Illinois, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts; addition of Advanced Grow Labs in Connecticut; and increased store traffic to Green Thumb’s 15 open and operating brick and mortar retail stores, particularly in Illinois, Pennsylvania and Florida.

- 29 -


Table of Contents

Increase in total expenses was attributable to an increase in general and administrative expenses, mainly due to non-cash charges related to equity incentive compensation of $5,844,800, with no comparable expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Salaries and benefits also contributed to the increase as a result of new headcount from the Company’s Retail facilities in Illinois, Nevada, Maryland, Pennsylvania Massachusetts and Florida along with corporate staff development.

Additionally, the Company had professional fees of $3,587,558 which represented an increase of $2,566,699 over the 2018 amount of $1,020,859, primarily attributable to acquisition related support, and other regulatory and growth-related activities.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020

Revenues, net of discounts for the Consumer Packaged Goods Segment were $46,322,028, an increase of $32,827,288 or 243%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase in Consumer Packaged Goods revenues, net of discounts, was primarily driven by the legalization of adult-use of cannabis in Illinois on January 1, 2020, increased sales volume in established markets such as Massachusetts, Maryland and Pennsylvania, a full quarter of operations for Advanced Grow Labs, LLC’s cultivation and processing facility in Connecticut and the acquisition of Integral Associates, LLC’s Desert Grown Farms cultivation and processing facility in Nevada in June 2019.

Due to the vertically integrated nature of the business, the Company reviews its revenue at the Retail and CPG level while reviewing its operating results on a consolidated basis.

Revenues, net of discounts for the Retail Segment were $75,961,450, an increase of $59,844,085 or 371%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase in Retail revenues, net of discounts, was primarily driven by legalization of adult-use in Illinois on January 1, 2020 as well as new store openings, the acquisition of Integral Associates, LLC’s Essence branded dispensaries in June 2019 and increased sales volume in existing stores.

Drivers of Results of Operations

Revenue

The Company derives its revenue from two revenue streams: a Consumer Packaged Goods business in which it manufactures, sells and distributes its portfolio of finished consumer packaged goods, including brands Rythm, Dogwalkers, The Feel Collection and Beboe, among others, primarily to third-party retail customers; and a Retail business in which it sells finished goods sourced primarily from third-party cannabis manufacturers in addition to the Company’s own Consumer Packaged Goods products direct to the end consumer in its brick and mortar retail stores, as well as direct-to-consumer delivery where applicable by state law.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, revenue was contributed from Consumer Packaged Goods and Retail sales across California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Gross Profit

Gross profit is revenue less cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold includes the costs directly attributable to product sales and includes amounts paid for finished goods, such as flower, edibles, and concentrates, as well as packaging and other supplies, fees for services and processing, and allocated overhead which includes allocations of rent, utilities and related costs. 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. Gross margin measures our gross profit as a percentage of revenue.

Over the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company continued to be focused on executing sustainable, profitable growth of the Company’s base business while pursuing expansion. Green Thumb expects to continue its growth strategy for the foreseeable future as the Company expands its Consumer Packaged Goods and Retail footprint within its current markets.

Total Expenses

Total expenses other than the cost of goods sold consist of selling costs to support customer relationships and marketing and branding activities. It also includes a significant investment in the corporate infrastructure required to support the Company’s ongoing business.

Selling costs generally correlate to revenue. As a percentage of sales, the Company expects selling costs to remain relatively flat in the more established operational markets (Connecticut, Illinois, Nevada, Maryland, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania) and increase in the up and coming markets as business continues to grow (Florida, New Jersey, New York and Ohio). The increase is expected to be driven primarily by the growth of our Retail channels and the ramp up from pre-revenue to sustainable market share.

General and administrative expenses also include costs incurred at the corporate offices, primarily related to personnel costs, including salaries, incentive compensation, benefits, stock-based compensation

and other professional service costs. The Company expects to continue to invest considerably in this area to support aggressive expansion plans and to support the business by attracting and retaining top-tier talent. Furthermore, the Company expects to continue to incur acquisition and transaction costs related to these expansion plans and anticipates an increase in stock compensation expenses related to recruiting and hiring talent, along with legal and professional fees associated with being a publicly traded company.

Provision for Income Taxes

The Company is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates and, consequently, income tax expense is a function of the allocation of taxable income by jurisdiction and the various activities that impact the timing of taxable events. As the Company operates in the federally illegal cannabis industry, it is subject to the limitations of IRC Section 280E under which taxpayers are only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to sales of product. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC Section 280E and a higher effective tax rate than most industries. Therefore, the effective tax rate can be highly variable and may not necessarily correlate to pre-tax income or loss.

Non-GAAP Measures

EBITDA, Adjusted Operating EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures and do not have standardized definitions under GAAP. The following information provides reconciliations of the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures, presented herein to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company has provided the 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. These supplemental non-GAAP financial measures are presented because management has evaluated the financial results both including and excluding the adjusted items and believe that the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures presented provide additional perspective and insights when analyzing the core operating performance of the business. These supplemental non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or as an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the GAAP financial measures presented.

Liquidity, Financing Activities During the Period, and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 the Company had total current liabilities of $128,250,270 and $111,367,255, respectively, and cash and cash equivalents of $71,521,924 and $46,667,334, respectively to meet its current obligations. The Company had working capital of $12,565,876 as of March 31, 2020, an increase of $14,870,520 as compared to December 31, 2019. This increase in working capital was primarily driven by the $26,800,844 increase in revenue experienced in the first quarter of 2020 over the fourth quarter of 2019 and the corresponding working capital impact from this increase. The Company’s quarterly results were driven by organic growth across the Company’s Consumer Packaged Goods and Retail businesses, particularly in Illinois following the commencement of adult use sales on January 1, 2020, and in Pennsylvania along with the settlement of certain contingent consideration during the quarter.

In the first quarter 2020, Green Thumb generated revenue from all 12 of its markets: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania. The Company’s Consumer Packaged Goods gross revenue grew approximately 21% (net 13%) during the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2020, Green Thumb’s branded products were sold in over 700 retail stores, including the Company’s Rise and Essence retail stores. The Company’s Retail revenue increased 45% during the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2019, primarily driven by increased transaction activity across the Company’s 42 store Retail footprint, as well as the two new Retail stores it opened in Illinois and the one new Retail store it opened in Pennsylvania during the quarter.

Table of Contents

The Company is an early-stage growth company, which is generating cash from revenues and is deploying its capital reserves to acquire and develop assets capable of producing additional revenues and earnings over both the immediate and near term. Capital reserves are primarily being utilized for capital expenditures, facility improvements, product development and marketing, as well as customer, supplier and investor and industry relations.

While our revenue, gross profit and operating income were not materially impacted by COVID-19 and we maintained the consistency of our operations during the first quarter of 2020, the uncertain nature of the spread of COVID-19 may impact our business operations for reasons including the potential quarantine of our employees or those of our supply chain partners. The Company takes a cautious approach in allocating its capital to maximize its returns while ensuring appropriate liquidity. Given the current uncertainty of the future economic environment, the Company has taken additional measures in monitoring and deploying its capital to minimize the negative impact on its current operations and expansion plans.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2020, the Company does not have any off-balance-sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company, including, and without limitation, such considerations as liquidity and capital resources.

Changes in or Adoption of Accounting Practices

None.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgements and Estimates

There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included in our 2019 Form 10-K.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Section 2(a) of the Exchange Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Start-ups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. The Company has elected to take advantage of this extended transition period and as a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

 

ITEM 3.

QUANTITAVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes to our market risk disclosures as set forth in Part II Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 except as described below.

COVID-19

The Company is monitoring COVID-19 closely, and although operations have not been materially affected by the COVID-19 outbreak to date, the ultimate severity of the outbreak and its impact on the economic environment is uncertain. Operations of the Company are currently ongoing as the cultivation, processing and sale of cannabis products is currently considered an essential business by the States in which we operate with respect to all customers (except for Massachusetts, where cannabis has been deemed essential only for medical patients). In all locations where regulations have been enabled by governmental authorities, the Company has expanded consumer delivery options and curbside pickup to help protect the health and safety of our employees and customers.

The pandemic has not materially impacted our business operations or liquidity position to date. We continue to generate operating cash flows to meet our short-term liquidity needs. The uncertain nature of the spread of COVID-19 may impact our business operations for reasons including the potential quarantine of our employees or those of our supply chain partners.

 

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

(a)

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2020. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2019, Green Thumb, as an emerging growth company, was not required to include management’s assessment of Internal Controls over Financial Reporting (“ICFR”) or an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm in our 2019 Form 10-K. However, management has developed and is in the process of enhancing the Company’s ICFR and its disclosure controls and procedures in preparation for the annual audit of the Company for the 2020 fiscal year. Green Thumb expects to be required to include both management’s assessment of ICFR and the attestation of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding the Company’s ICFR in our 2020 annual report on Form 10-K. Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have carefully considered the Company’s progress in the development of the disclosure controls and procedures to date and determined that they were reasonably effective at the assurance level as of March 31, 2020.
