Management Commentary

Eric Offenberger, CEO of Vext commented, “Q1 marked an excellent start to the year for Vext, as our team continued to invest in targeted promotions, while maintaining solid gross margins. An efficient operating model, product positioning and category focus will continue to be key success factors in 2022 as consumer-facing industries grapple with the impact of inflation on consumer discretionary income. Vext’s operating model, which has been designed to maintain rigorous cost control, generated growth in Adjusted EBITDA of 15% compared to Q4. Many brands are aimed at the high end of the market, and while there is room for those, our Vapen line of products, which consistently ranks as one of Arizona’s leading brand portfolios, is positioned to deliver high quality at a price that represents consistent value and delivers profitability to the Company.”

Mr. Offenberger continued, “We expect the remainder of 2022 to be an important period for Vext, as we continue to grow in Arizona, and initiate further expansion in Ohio, beginning with the expected approval of our first dispensary license in the state, through a joint venture, during the summer. Despite macro challenges, the current market environment will continue to present opportunities for Vext. We are positioned to gain market share as other operators struggle, backed by a strong balance sheet, ongoing cash flow generation, and a team that has proven its ability to execute. We will take the right steps to continue building loyalty with our customers, and value for our shareholders.”

Summary of Recent Operating Developments

• As of January 1, 2022, Vext transitioned from a not-for-profit operating and accounting framework to a for-profit framework in the state of Arizona. Previously, the Company operated two dispensaries in Phoenix and as of Q1 2022, Vext now has ownership of these dispensaries and they are reflected on its balance sheet. In addition, during Q1, Vext brought the biological assets of the dispensaries on to its balance sheet under IAS 41.
• Senior financial and operations executive Daniel Engel joined the Company on May 2, 2022, as the Company’s CFO.
