Management Commentary
“In light of April’s rescheduling of medical cannabis, we made significant changes to the business, our licenses and operating structure including registering our cultivation and processing licenses with the DEA, and converting each of our cultivation and processing licenses to medical,” said Kyle Kazan, Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO of Glass House. “We are confident that medical cannabis rescheduling is sufficient to support interstate commerce between companies with appropriately registered DEA licenses and export to international medical cannabis markets.”
“We completed a deconsolidation transaction whereby we fully separated our retail operations. Now, our remaining business is fully medically licensed and Schedule III compliant.”
“Our second quarter results reflect our retail deconsolidation and meaningful progress in returning to more fully efficient operations at our farms. We produced 246,000 pounds of biomass in the quarter, a record level and ahead of both our guidance and our production last year. Our cost of production for the quarter was $122 per pound. The cost of production reflects significant improvement from the $175 per pound we reported last quarter.”
“As we look forward, we expect to see a further scaling of production for the second half of 2026 as we start to see a full contribution from Greenhouse Two at the end of this quarter. We remain on track to produce 1 million pounds of biomass this year and to end 2026 with a production run rate of over 1.1 million pounds.”
“Longer term, our outlook remains unchanged. Our $95 cost of production target remains achievable as with our operating model, we will never have to pay the high energy bills of indoor peers, nor do we rely on third-party water supply. It is these benefits that have sustained us despite challenging California cannabis market conditions and makes us an ideal supply partner for operators in other markets which rely heavily on indoor growth. We also look forward to entering new markets and product categories, which will further expand our growth trajectory.”

Q2 2026 Financial Results Discussion
Revenues for second quarter 2026 were $47.0 million, compared to $28.6 million in first quarter 2026 and $47.6 million in second quarter 2025, excluding retail revenue. Retail revenue through the date of deconsolidation was $9.9 million for the second quarter of 2026.
The wholesale biomass segment revenue was $41.7 million, accounting for 89% of total revenue. Biomass production reached 245,746 pounds during Q2 2026, compared to 151,531 in the first quarter 2026 and 230,748 in the prior year period.
Wholesale CPG segment revenues were $5.3 million, representing a 14% sequential increase and (4)% year-over-year decrease.
Consolidated gross profit for the second quarter was $15.8 million, compared to $26.1 million for Q2 last year and $4.1 million in first quarter 2026. Gross margin was 34%, compared to 55% in the prior year period and 14% in the first quarter of 2026. The underperformance was attributable to the higher proportion of trim within the production mix and higher cost of production. Retail gross margin through the date of deconsolidation was approximately 50% for the quarter.
Average selling price was $211 per pound, compared to $206 in the second quarter of 2025 as California pricing conditions continue to show signs of improvement.
General and administrative expenses were $13.4 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $10.2 million last year and $12.2 million in the first quarter.
Sales and marketing expenses were $0.4 million, compared to $0.3 million during the same period last year and $0.1 million in the prior quarter.
Professional fees were $1.6 million in Q2, compared to $2.9 million in Q1 2026 and $2.0 million in Q2 2025.
Depreciation and amortization in Q2 2026 were $3.4 million, compared to $3.5 million in Q1 2026 and $3.4 million in Q2 2025.
Adjusted EBITDA was positive $5.7 million in Q2 2026, compared to positive $18.1 million in the second quarter 2025 and negative $(4.2) million in Q1 2026. Adjusted EBITDA results reflect the factors that impacted gross margin performance as well as a modest increase in cash operating expenses.
Operating cash flow was positive $0.2 million, compared to positive $17.7 million in the year-ago period and negative $(11.8) million in Q1 2026.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $22.1 million of cash and restricted cash, compared to $20.7 million at the start of the second quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Glass House defines EBITDA as Net Income (Loss) (GAAP) adjusted for interest and financing costs, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA excluding share-based compensation, stock appreciation rights expense, change in equity method investments, change in fair value of derivative instruments, impairment expense for goodwill and intangible assets, change in fair value of contingent liabilities and shares payable, loss on extinguishment of debt, employee retention tax credits, non-recurring casualty loss, non-recurring legal and professional fees and certain debt-related fees.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented because management has evaluated the financial results both including and excluding the adjusted items and believe that the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures presented provide additional perspective and insights when analyzing the core operating performance of the business. Such supplemental non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized financial measures under U.S. GAAP used to prepare the Company's financial statements and might not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other companies and, thus, should only be considered in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures presented herein.
The Company has provided tables above that provide a reconciliation of the Company's Net Income (Loss) (GAAP) to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 and three months ended March 31, 2026.
Footnotes and Sources:

- Equivalent Dry Pound Production includes all dry production (flower, smalls and trim) plus equivalent dry weight for wet weight and fresh frozen not converted into dry weight by the Company.
- Cost per Equivalent Dry Pound of Production, is the application of a subset of Costs of Goods Sold for cannabis biomass production (including all expenses from nursery and cultivation to curing and trimming - the point at which product is ready for sales as wholesale cannabis or to be transferred to CPG) applied to the Company's metric of dry production which includes all dry production (flower, smalls and trim) plus equivalent dry weight for wet weight and fresh frozen that is not converted into dry goods by the Company.
