Recent Developments

- THC beverage depletions¹ increased to a record of approximately 25,000 cases across 18 states in the month of June, compared to approximately 7,000 in June 2025.
- Hemp-derived product revenue increased 67% sequentially, driven by continued growth in THC beverage distribution and direct-to-consumer channels.

¹ Depletions represent U.S. distributor shipments of the Company’s branded THC beverages to retailers, measured in 24-can case equivalents, based on third-party data.
Management Commentary
"The Company delivered a record second quarter, with revenue growing 73% sequentially and exceeding prior guidance of 65% growth. This performance reflects accelerating momentum in THC beverages and the first full quarter of our amended licensing agreement with Green Thumb Industries," said RYTHM, Inc. Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer Ben Kovler. "That strength was underscored by robust depletion growth across the category, a clear signal of real consumer demand for THC beverages sold in traditional retail channels, including liquor, convenience, and grocery."
"The quarter was also defined by the growing role of THC beverages in premier live entertainment venues, as we continued to expand our partnership roster. New collaborations with Lollapalooza music festival, Opry Entertainment Group and Chicago's Navy Pier bring Señorita and RYTHM to some of the most storied stages in America, reflecting a broader shift in how leading venues and concessionaires are responding to evolving consumer preferences for a non-alcoholic alternative. As America's THC Company, we are meeting consumers wherever they gather — from everyday moments to memorable occasions.”
"As we move through the summer season, we recognize the regulatory environment for THC beverages remains uncertain, with limited near-term visibility. That said, there is no wavering in our conviction on the long-term viability of this category and the durability of the demand behind it. In this dynamic operating environment, we remain focused on the factors within our control: executing with discipline and continuing to build iconic brands that consumers trust. With a scalable platform now in place, the Company has multiple paths to realize the long-term value of America's leading portfolio of THC brands."
