Management Commentary
“The Green Thumb team continues to deliver topline growth despite persistent pricing pressure in many of our key markets. Second quarter 2025 revenue was $293 million, a 5% gain over the comparable period last year. Adjusted EBITDA was $83 million or 28% of revenue and our second quarter cash flow from operations was $56 million. In addition, we bought back 5.6 million shares at an average price of $4.28 per share throughout the quarter,” said Green Thumb Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ben Kovler. “While our stock price continues to serve as a barometer for federal action, we believe Green Thumb has created value not currently reflected by the market due to several factors, including structural issues in the industry. Despite these challenges, we will continue to work to realize that value and continue to build brands Americans love. We are deeply committed to creating long-term value for all our stakeholders; this has always been the Green Thumb story.”
Green Thumb President Anthony Georgiadis added, “The second quarter was very productive for us. We experienced strong market share gains in key states including Illinois, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Florida, and others. In addition, our team continued preparation for Minnesota’s imminent adult-use launch. As we look ahead, we are confident in our team, our strategy, and our financial strength to help us navigate the current market environment.”
Second Quarter 2025 Financial Overview
Total revenue for the second quarter 2025 was $293.3 million, up 4.7% from the prior year period. Revenue growth in the second quarter was driven primarily by sales from the Company’s Consumer Packaged Goods segment, reflecting continued expansion in the adult-use markets in New York and Ohio.
Overall retail revenue increased 0.3% versus the second quarter of 2024. Second quarter 2025 comparable sales (stores open at least 12 months) decreased 4.1% versus the prior year on a base of 91 stores. Consumer Packaged Goods gross revenue increased 8.4% versus the second quarter of 2024.
Gross profit for the second quarter 2025 was $146.3 million or 49.9% of revenue, down from $150.5 million or 53.7% of revenue over the prior year period. The decline in gross margin percentage was primarily driven by price compression.
Total selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter 2025 were $106.8 million or 36.4% of revenue, compared to $96.5 million or 34.4% of revenue for the second quarter 2024. The increase in total expenses was primarily attributable to increased costs associated with the opening and operation of new retail stores.
Total other expense for the second quarter was $17.1 million versus $1.2 million for the comparable period, primarily due to the loss on the sale of Green Thumb’s incredibles intellectual property and hemp business to Agrify.
Net loss attributable to the Company for the second quarter was $0.65 million or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $20.7 million, or $0.09 per basic and diluted share in the prior year period. Excluding the one-time charge of $11.7 million, GAAP net income would have been $11.0 million or $0.05 per basic and diluted share.
In the second quarter 2025, EBITDA was $69.1 million or 23.6% of revenue, versus $82.0 million or 29.3% of revenue for the comparable prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA, which excluded non-cash stock-based compensation of $12.0 million and other non-operating adjustments of $1.7 million, was $82.7 million or 28.2% of revenue, down from $93.8 million or 33.5% of revenue for the second quarter 2024.
