NORWOOD, Mass., May 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MariMed Inc. (“MariMed” or the “Company”) (CSE: MRMD) (OTCQX: MRMD), a leading multi-state cannabis operator focused on improving lives every day, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.
Management Commentary
“We are executing on our vision to build the best consumer packaged goods company in cannabis, and over the past quarter we continued to penetrate more storefronts and capture more market share for our innovative, high-quality portfolio of brands,” said Jon Levine, MariMed Chief Executive Officer. “Our Betty’s Eddies™ cannabis chews remained the top-selling edible in Massachusetts, Maryland, and Delaware, and moved up to the #5 position in Illinois after its launch there just over a year ago. Our other core brands also achieved strong market share growth as we sold our products into 70 new storefronts. Wholesale sales now account for 44 percent of our revenue mix, an upward trend that we anticipate will continue as we further leverage our brands as the primary growth engine for the Company.”
“We are pleased to report sequential revenue growth in the first quarter of 2025, driven by continued strength in wholesale performance,” said Mario Pinho, MariMed Chief Financial Officer. “Wholesale sales helped to offset the financial impact of a soft quarter at retail as well as ramp-up costs associated with our new assets in Illinois and Missouri. We remain confident in delivering enhanced shareholder value through expanded brand distribution into new storefronts; the pursuit of new revenue streams, including through M&A, brand licensing, and potential entry into the hemp space; and a continued focus on disciplined cost management, operational efficiencies, and improved execution.”

FIRST QUARTER 2025 OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
During the first quarter, the Company announced the following development in the implementation of its strategic growth plan:
- February 28: Completed its acquisition of First State Compassion Center (“FSCC”), the leading cannabis operator in Delaware, in accordance with the terms of the previously announced Omnibus Agreement entered into with FSCC in July 2023. The acquisition integrates FSCC’s cultivation and processing facilities and two dispensaries into MariMed’s fully vertical operations, further enhancing the Company’s revenue and profitability.
OTHER DEVELOPMENTS
Subsequent to the end of the first quarter, the Company announced the following further developments:
- April 1: Commenced distribution of its Nature’s Heritage™-branded cannabis flower, pre-rolls, and vapes in Illinois, marking the first time the brand’s premium products are available in the state.
- April 3: Expanded the line-up of its top-selling Betty’s Eddies™-branded cannabis chews with the introduction of a new caramel chew, Betty’s Caramelt Away.
- April 8: Promoted Ryan Crandall to Chief Commercial Officer to lead the Company’s commercial strategy and activities, including Sales, Marketing, Product Development, and Retail Operations. He had served as the Company’s Chief Revenue Officer since July 2022, and prior was its Chief Products Officer and SVP, Sales for four years.
DISCUSSION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
MariMed’s management uses several different financial measures, both GAAP and non-GAAP, in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of its business, making operating decisions, and planning and forecasting future periods. The Company has provided in this release several non-GAAP financial measures: Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA margin, Non-GAAP Gross margin, Non-GAAP Operating expenses and Non-GAAP Net income (loss), as supplements to Revenue, Gross margin, Operating expenses, Income (loss) from operations, Net income (loss) and other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in reviewing and assessing the performance of the Company, and when planning and forecasting future periods, as they provide meaningful operating results by excluding the effects of expenses that are not reflective of its operating business performance. In addition, the Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods and for financial and operational decision-making. The presentation of these non-GAAP measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Management believes that investors and analysts benefit from considering non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company’s financial results and its ongoing business, as it allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the business. In particular, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is used by many investors and analysts themselves, along with other metrics, to compare financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies.
As there are no standardized methods of calculating non-GAAP financial measures, the Company’s calculations may differ from those used by analysts, investors and other companies, even those within the cannabis industry, and therefore may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures used by others.
Management defines non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA as income (loss) from operations, determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding the following items:
- depreciation and amortization of property and equipment;
- amortization of acquired intangible assets;
- impairment or write-downs of acquired intangible assets;
- inventory revaluation;
- stock-based compensation;
- severance;
- legal settlements; and
- acquisition-related and other expenses.
