Management Commentary

“While we’re disappointed by the unexpected delay that our auditors have experienced in finalizing their work, we’re thrilled with the underlying strength of our business, the robust growth we have achieved in 2020, and the continued momentum we have seen into 2021,” said Jim Cacioppo, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and Founder of Jushi. “2020 was a defining year for the Company. Our strategy to rapidly build scale in the best limited license markets on both the East and West coast combined with our focus on operational excellence has driven strong financial results on both a sequential quarterly and year-over-year basis.” Mr. Cacioppo continued, “I am incredibly proud of the work our team accomplished in 2020. Together, we solidified our leadership position in Pennsylvania, by acquiring a grower-processor permit holder and two medical marijuana dispensary permit holders, each with licenses to operate three dispensaries. We also entered into three new markets, Illinois, California and Virginia, opened and/or acquired a total of nine retail stores, and launched a best-in-class, online shopping experience at Beyond-Hello.com. Furthermore, we established a deep and talented management team and strengthened the Company’s balance sheet with opportunistic debt and equity capital raises that allow us to fund the Company’s expansion plans and pursue opportunistic acquisitions.”

Mr. Cacioppo concluded, “With our recently announced planned acquisitions in Massachusetts and in Ohio; the previously announced expansion and build-out of our facilities in Pennsylvania and Virginia; and the continued build-out of our high-quality retail footprint across California, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, Jushi remains positioned to see continued strong growth through 2021 and beyond.”
