VANCOUVER, British Columbia and ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Village Farms International, Inc. (“Village Farms” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: VFF) today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024. All figures are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.
Management Commentary
“Strong performance in our Fresh Produce business, continued growth in Canadian Cannabis and a doubling of International Medicinal Cannabis Sales drove 20% year-over-year growth in consolidated sales, with both positive Adjusted EBITDA and cash flow from operations during the third quarter,” said Michael DeGiglio, President and Chief Executive Officer, Village Farms International.
“Our Canadian Cannabis business continues to deliver strong growth with leading market share as we realized revenue growth in all sales channels and positive EBITDA and operating cash flow. We were once again the fastest growing producer in Canada over the last year in terms of market share and, for the first time ever, were number one in Quebec, making us the top producer in Canada’s two most populus provinces. Out-of-stocks in some cultivars after a strong first half impacted sales growth in the quarter, and non-brand-spec sales that converted inventory to cash impacted gross margin. Gross margin, excluding non-brand-spec sales returned to our target range of 30 to 40%.”
“We are also increasingly benefitting from our international cannabis focus. Exports from Canada increased 111% from the third quarter last year, with continued increases in sales to our German, Australian, and UK partners. Our EU-GMP certification was also recently renewed, and we are optimistic heading into next year about our opportunities to expand our international business with additional markets and customer wins. In the Netherlands, we received final approval to commence cultivation, are in production now, and remain on target to begin sales to participating jurisdictions in the first quarter of 2025.”
“Fresh Produce delivered positive adjusted EBITDA on solid sales growth, demonstrating our expected recovery from the softer pricing we experienced during the second quarter. We are continuing to drive this business toward sustained profitability as we benefit from ongoing yield and cost improvement initiatives.”
“As we close out fiscal year 2024, we are focused on driving more profitable sales in Canadian Cannabis, prioritizing profitable growth as we manage inventory levels with evolving supply dynamics and increasing international demand. We are looking forward to more exciting catalysts for our business in fiscal year 2025, with continued international expansion and contributions from sales in the Netherlands. We believe our Netherlands business has the potential to become a strong contributor of profitability and cash flow generation, driven by more favorable pricing and taxes in the Dutch market compared to Canada.”

(1) Reflects impairment to goodwill and intangibles of $11,939 in U.S. Cannabis that was based on recent historical performance, near-term forecasts, and the state of the CBD industry in the United States. See “Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments” below for more information.
(2) Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized earnings measure and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA presented for these segments may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of the Company because it excludes non-recurring and other items that do not reflect the underlying business performance of the Company.

About Village Farms International
Village Farms leverages decades of experience as a large-scale, Controlled Environment Agriculture-based, vertically integrated supplier for high-value, high-growth plant-based Consumer Packaged Goods. The Company has a strong foundation as the leading and longest-tenured leading fresh produce supplier to grocery and large-format retailers throughout the US and Canada and is capitalizing on new high-growth opportunities in the cannabis and CBD categories in North America, the Netherlands and selected markets internationally.
In Canada, the Company’s wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, Pure Sunfarms, is one of the single largest cannabis operations in the world, the lowest-cost greenhouse producer and one of Canada’s best-selling brands. The Company also owns 80% of Québec-based, Rose LifeScience, a leading third-party cannabis products commercialization expert in the Province of Québec.
Internationally, Village Farms is targeting selected, nascent, legal cannabis and CBD opportunities with significant medium- and long-term potential. The Company exports medical cannabis from its EU GMP certified facility in Canada to a growing list of international markets including Germany, the United Kingdom, Israel, and Australia. The Company is expanding its international presence with additional export contracts to new countries and customers in the Asia-Pacific and European regions, as well as select strategic investments in operating assets. In Europe, wholly-owned Leli Holland has one of 10 licences to grow and distribute recreational cannabis products.
In the US, wholly-owned Balanced Health Botanicals is one of the leading CBD brands and e-commerce platforms in the country. Subject to compliance with all applicable US federal and state laws and stock exchange rules, Village Farms plans to enter the US high-THC cannabis market via multiple strategies, leveraging one of the largest greenhouse operations in the country (more than 5.5 million square feet in West Texas), as well as the operational and product expertise gained through Pure Sunfarms’ cannabis success in Canada.
Village Farms Clean Energy (VFCE), through a partnership with Atlanta-based Terreva Renewables, creates clean energy from landfill gas at its Delta RNG facility. VFCE receives royalties on all revenue generated. This partnership reduces Vancouver’s greenhouse gas emissions by 475,000 metric tons of CO2 per year, equivalent to removing more than 100,000 vehicles off the road or the energy use equivalent of powering 51,300 homes for one year.
