TILT Holdings Inc. (“TILT” or the “Company”) is a business solutions provider to the global cannabis industry offering a diverse range of value-added products and services to industry participants. Through a portfolio of companies providing technology, hardware, cultivation and production, TILT services brands and cannabis retailers in regulated markets across 40 states in the United States (“U.S.”), as well as Canada, South America, and the European Union.

TILT was incorporated under the laws of Nevada pursuant to NRS Chapter 78 on June 22, 2018. The Company was continued under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) pursuant to a Certificate of Continuance dated November 14, 2018. The Company is a reporting issuer in Canada in the Provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario and its common shares are listed for trading on the Cboe Canada (formerly known as the NEO Exchange) under the symbol “TILT.” In addition, the common shares are quoted on the OTCQB in the U.S. under the symbol “TLLTF.” The Company’s head office is in Phoenix, Arizona and its registered office is located at Suite 2400, 745 Thurlow Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 0C5 Canada.

Liquidity and Going Concern

The Company has experienced operating losses since its inception and may continue to incur losses in the development of its business. The Company incurred a comprehensive loss of $13,240 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and has an accumulated deficit of $1,138,997 as of March 31, 2025. Additionally, as of March 31, 2025, the Company had negative working capital of $85,950 compared to negative working capital of $46,608 as of December 31, 2024. The decrease in working capital was primarily driven by an increase in notes payable due in the next 12 months and a decrease in inventories.

On January 28, 2025, Commonwealth Alternative Care (“CAC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an asset purchase agreement with In Good Health, Inc. for the sale of substantially all the assets and assumption of certain liabilities of its dispensaries located in Taunton and Brockton, Massachusetts. The purchase price for the assets is $2,000 plus the assumption of certain liabilities, and the sale is expected to be completed within the next 12 months. As a result, the Company reclassified $1,541 of its assets to assets held for sale on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025. This amount includes $1,300 of property, plant and equipment, net, $211 of right-of-use assets related to a finance lease, and $30 of prepaid expenses. See Note 5 — Property, Plant and Equipment and Assets Held for Sale for additional information.

On May 2, 2024, Standard Farms, LLC (“Standard Farms PA”) entered into a Secured Promissory Note with a third-party experienced retailer and operator (the “Lender”) for borrowings up to $10,500 (the “2024 Standard Farms Loan”). Proceeds from the 2024 Standard Farms Loan will be used to construct dispensaries obtained via a permit issued from the Department of Health, Bureau of Medical Marijuana, of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the “Commonwealth”). The Standard Farms PA permit will allow the construction and operation of up to three medical marijuana dispensaries in the Commonwealth (collectively, the “Retail Locations”). Proceeds from the 2024 Standard Farms Loan will also be utilized for the initial setup and operation of the Retail Locations. The 2024 Standard Farms Loan will mature on December 31, 2027, and will initially bear interest at 20%. The interest rate will automatically increase to 30% upon Standard Farm PA’s opening a Retail Location and completing a first commercial sale in the Commonwealth (“Location Opening Date”). On May 2, 2024, the Company drew $3,000 in proceeds on the 2024 Standard Farms Loan, $1,700 of which is allocated to a contingent interest derivative, and recognized a debt discount of $784. The Retail Location opened on February 14, 2025, which resolved the contingent interest feature and resulted in the derecognition of the embedded derivative. The balance of the embedded derivative was zero as of March 31, 2025. See Note 10 — Notes Payable for additional information.

On October 3, 2024, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to its Revolving Facility (the “Revolving Facility Amendment”) through its subsidiary Jupiter. The Revolving Facility Amendment amended the required fixed charge coverage ratio financial covenant, the minimum monthly charge paid to the lender, and the inventory availability amount. The Revolving Facility Amendment also reduced the borrowing capacity from $12,500 to $6,000.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company continued to apply the default rate of 25.0% to accrue interest on the refinancing of $38,000 of secured promissory notes issued originally under the 2019 Junior Notes NPA (the “2023 Refinanced Notes”) due to continued noncompliance with financial covenants. The 25.0% interest rate represents the prime rate of 7.5% plus 8.5%, the 8.0% default interest rate, and the 1% annual increase pursuant to the first amendment (the “NPA Amendment”) to its existing junior secured note purchase agreement (the “2019 Junior Notes NPA”), as the principal balance was more than $30,000 as of February 15, 2024, which was the first anniversary of the date the Company entered into the NPA Amendment (the “Effective Date”). The private placement secured promissory notes issued pursuant to the NPA Amendment (the “2023 New Notes”) remain at the default interest rate of 24.0%.

The Company’s operating plans for the next 12 months include (i) increasing revenue growth from the sale of existing products and the introduction of new products across all operating segments; (ii) reducing production and operational costs as a result of efficiencies in cannabis operations; (iii) reducing supply chain costs; (iv) reducing and delaying overhead and other certain expenditures; (v) obtaining other financings or completing other strategic transactions as necessary; and (vi) deferring principal and interest payments on the notes payable.

The Company believes that successfully implementing these operating plans will help to mitigate any substantial doubt raised by our historical operating results and satisfy our estimated liquidity needs for the 12 months following the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

However, the interest payments under these rates will constrain the Company’s liquidity while these rates remain in effect. While, as of the date of this filing, the Company is not in compliance with certain payment obligations and covenants under the 2023 Refinanced Notes and the 2023 New Notes (collectively, the “2023 Notes”) the Note Holders have not provided the requisite notice of an event of default. The Company is currently negotiating a waiver and forbearance agreement with the Note Holders to address such non-compliance. The Company can provide no assurance that the parties will reach a mutually agreeable resolution. See Note 10 — Notes Payable for additional information.

The Company cannot predict with certainty the outcome of its actions to generate liquidity as discussed above, including the availability of additional financing as necessary, or whether such actions would generate the expected liquidity as currently planned. Therefore, management has concluded there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within 12 months after the date of this filing. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might become necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
