Boris Jordan: Thank you, Camilo. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us to discuss our Q4 and full year 2025 results. We closed 2025 with clear momentum, delivering Q4 revenue of $333 million, our strongest performance in six quarters. Revenue increased 5% sequentially and 2% year-over-year, bolstered by a broad-based return to growth in nearly all of our domestic markets, despite a persistently challenging pricing environment. Our international team closed out an impressive year with $51 million in the Q4 revenue, representing 10% sequential growth and 65% year-over-year revenue growth. Adjusted gross margin expanded to 49%, up 20 basis points from last year, as the benefits from productivity gains in our cultivation facilities outweighed price compression.

Speaker #3: Adjusted EBITDA totaled 69 million , or 21% of sales inclusive of 120 basis point drag from international operating and free cash flow from continuing operations were 142,000,025 million , respectively .

Boris Jordan: Adjusted EBITDA totaled $69 million, or 21% of sales, inclusive of a 120 basis point drag from international. Operating and free cash flow from continuing operations were $42 million and $25 million, respectively. That's after paying $39 million in acquisition-related debt during the quarter. For the full year, revenue reached $1.27 billion, with adjusted gross margin of 50% and Adjusted EBITDA of $275 million, or 22% of revenue. We generated $152 million in operating cash flow and $89 million in free cash flow from continuing operations, while ending the year with $102 million of cash on the balance sheet. These results were delivered despite a third consecutive year of double-digit price compression, underscoring the strength, discipline, and resilience of our operating model and the success of our Return to Our Roots plan.

Speaker #3: These results were delivered despite a third consecutive year of double digit price compression , underscoring the strength , discipline and resilience of our operating model and the success of our return to Roots plan Reflecting on the progress we made in 2025 , we took decisive actions to fundamentally reset and strengthen the business First , we transformed our cultivation network through disciplined execution and best practice standardization .

Boris Jordan: Reflecting on the progress we made in 2025, we took decisive actions to fundamentally reset and strengthen the business. First, we transformed our cultivation network. Through disciplined execution and best practice standardization, we doubled yields across our facilities, materially lowering production costs and mitigating the impact of sustained price compression on margins. Importantly, this increase in output did not come at the expense of quality. By leveraging genetics from Dark Cart, we significantly improved flower quality, consistency, and strain diversity. In the Q4, average flower potency across our facilities reached 31%, the highest level in our history. This combination of higher yields and higher quality represents a structural improvement in our cultivation platform, not a temporary gain. Second, we overhauled our buying, planning, and merchandising functions to better align supply with demand at the local level.

Speaker #3: By leveraging genetics from Descartes , we significantly improved flower quality , consistent consistency and strain diversity . In the fourth quarter , average flower potency across our facilities reached 31% , the highest level in our history .

Speaker #3: This combination of higher yields and higher quality represents a structural improvement in our cultivation platform , not a temporary gain Second , we overhauled our buying planning and merchandising functions to better align supply with demand at the local level .

Speaker #3: The impact was immediate, particularly in Florida, where stronger product allocation discipline, paired with consistency and consistently higher quality flower, drove meaningful improvements in conversion, traffic, and customer satisfaction.

Boris Jordan: The impact was immediate, particularly in Florida, where stronger product allocation discipline paired with consistently higher quality flower, drove meaningful improvements in conversion, traffic, and customer satisfaction. This created a virtuous cycle of stronger sell-through, improved in-stock positioning, and enhanced customer loyalty. We are now systematically replicating this playbook across our other states. We are encouraged by the early traction. We believe there remains substantial runway to unlock incremental productivity and same-store growth. Third, we accelerated innovation across our product portfolio. In April, we launched Anthem Classic, our cigarette-style pre-rolls, in select markets to overwhelming consumer response. We followed that in September with Anthem Bold, or our infused pre-roll line, which has also exceeded expectations. Demand has consistently outpaced supply.

Speaker #3: We believe there remains substantial runway to unlock incremental productivity and same store growth Third , we accelerated innovation across our product portfolio . In April , we launched Anthem Classic , our cigarette style pre-rolls in select markets to overwhelming consumer response .

Speaker #3: We followed that in September with Anthem Bold . Our infused pre-roll line , which has also exceeded expectations Demand has consistently outpaced supply in less than a year .

Boris Jordan: In less than a year, Anthem has become a top five national pre-roll brand in its four launch markets, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, and Arizona, demonstrating the strength of our innovation engine and brand-building capabilities. These initiatives represent just a portion of the foundational work completed in 2025. We are now seeing the benefits of flow through the P&L in the form of improved margins, stronger sell-through, and organic growth momentum. Importantly, we believe there remains significant opportunity to further amplify these gains as we continue to scale the operating discipline and innovation framework we have put in place. While price compression continues to impact most markets, we believe 2025 represents the trough. Structural changes to the industry, most notably the federal hemp ban scheduled to take effect in November, are expected to materially alter market dynamics.

Speaker #3: While price compression continues to impact most markets , we believe 2025 represents the trough structural changes to the industry , most notably , the federal hemp ban , scheduled to take effect in November , are expected to materially alter market dynamics over the past three years .

Boris Jordan: Over the past three years, we believe the regulated cannabis market was disrupted not by excess cultivation capacity, but by the rapid proliferation of low-cost, lightly regulated hemp-derived THC products that could be shipped nationally. As this loophole closes and consumers migrate back to the regulated dispensary channel, we expect demand to normalize, pricing pressures to abate, and the industry to return to more rational and sustainable pricing environment. A defining moment for the US cannabis industry occurred last December when President Trump issued an executive order directing the reclassification of cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III. This is the most consequential federal action taken on cannabis in the last 55 years. When, not if, the final rule becomes effective, which we expect to occur ahead of the midterm elections, it will serve as the foundational catalyst for broader reform.

Boris Jordan: This is the most consequential federal action taken on cannabis in the last 55 years. When, not if, the final rule becomes effective, which we expect to occur ahead of the midterm elections, it will serve as the foundational catalyst for broader reform. Momentum from rescheduling will bring us closer to a US exchange uplisting, expanded access to money center institutions, and credit card usage, which will create a fundamentally improved operating and capital markets landscape. These anticipated regulatory and capital market improvements are already driving increased consolidation across the sector.

Boris Jordan: Momentum from rescheduling will bring us closer to a US exchange uplisting, expanded access to money center institutions, and credit card usage, which will create a fundamentally improved operating and capital markets landscape. These anticipated regulatory and capital market improvements are already driving increased consolidation across the sector. We are seeing this primarily through asset sales by undercapitalized operators, targeted bolt-on retail acquisitions by scaled platforms seeking to leverage their fixed infrastructure, and smaller category-specific brands merging to achieve scaled operations. As a result, we expect industry consolidation to accelerate meaningfully in 2026, led by a few operators, of which Curaleaf is one, with strong balance sheets, access to capital, and proven execution. We have built our business through both organic and acquisitive means and will leverage investor appetite to partner with scaled operators to further increase our leading position in the market.

Boris Jordan: In support of this opportunity set, we last week completed the refinancing of our $475 million senior secured maturing notes maturing on 15 December 2026, of which $457 million was outstanding, issuing a new $500 million senior secured note with a 3-year maturity at an 11.5% coupon due 18 February 2029. This landmark transaction sets a new precedent as the largest transaction in US cannabis, extends our runway, and significantly enhances our financial flexibility. I am pleased with the strong demand expressed in our offering from both new and existing investors, demonstrating the growing institutional interest, not only in Curaleaf, but also the broader cannabis industry. With this refinancing complete, we are well-positioned to pursue growth initiatives while maintaining disciplined capital allocation.

Boris Jordan: With our debt refinancing and Return to Our Roots plan now complete, we have decisively reset the foundation of our business. We have strengthened leadership across critical functions, embedded data-driven decision-making, and sharpened operational execution. Our strong Q4 performance reflects the evolution of our Built for Growth initiative, driving organic growth through high-quality brand portfolio, premium customer experiences, and operational excellence. We believe this positions the company for sustained growth and value creation as industry conditions improve. Importantly, the results we delivered in Q4 provide tangible proof points that reinforce our conviction in the direction we're heading. During the quarter, the Curaleaf family of brands captured the number 1 overall market share position according to Hoodie Analytics, with Select maintaining its number 1 ranking in the vape category.

Boris Jordan: These outcomes are a direct result of disciplined execution and brand focus.

Domestically, our Q4 year-over-year outperformance was driven primarily by strength in Ohio, Utah, Pennsylvania, and Florida, each a clear example of our operating reset translating into tangible results. Ohio continues to benefit from its transition to adult use, coupled with the successful ramp of two new stores. Early performance has exceeded expectations, reflecting both favorable market dynamics and disciplined execution at the store level. Utah remains a healthy and stable medical market where we are gaining share through increased consumer adoption of our brand portfolio and expanded wholesale penetration. Our focused approach to product mix and distribution continues to unlock incremental growth.

Boris Jordan: Our focused approach to product mix and distribution continues to unlock incremental growth. Pennsylvania delivered strong performance throughout the year, driven largely by the consistently high-quality flower output from our cultivation network. The improvements we made in yield, potency, and strain diversity have directly translated into stronger sell-through and brand loyalty.

Turning to Four 20 Pharma, our premium German brand, as anticipated, the put option on the remaining 45% ownership stake was exercised, and we will fully own the business and the brand. Upon closing, we will have 100% ownership of our international operations following the buyout of our minority partner in Curaleaf International last summer. Full ownership meaningfully simplifies our corporate structure, enhances transparency around the performance and valuation of our international segment.

Speaker #3: This is particularly relevant in the recent cross-border transactions between Canadian and German operators , which have helped clarify valuation benchmarks in the European market with complete control of our international platform , we are better positioned to drive strategic alignment , capture full economic upside and maximize long term shareholder value Turning to new international market opportunities , specifically , Spain , France and Turkey .

Boris Jordan: This is particularly relevant in the recent cross-border transactions between Canadian and German operators, which have helped clarify valuation benchmarks in the European market. With complete control of our international platform, we are better positioned to drive strategic alignment, capture full economic upside, and maximize long-term shareholder value. Turning to new international market opportunities, specifically Spain, France, and Turkey, regulators in each country are actively advancing the rulemaking process that will define their respective medical cannabis frameworks. In Spain and France, we could see programs commence as early as Q4, with initial commercialization centered predominantly on extracts and distribution expected through hospital pharmacy channels. In Turkey, we currently anticipate a program launch in Q1 2027. While precise timing remains subject to regulatory finalization, progress continues to move constructively.

Speaker #3: We currently anticipate a program launch in the first quarter of 2027 , while precise timing remains subject to regulatory finalization , progress continues to move constructively .

Speaker #3: As we have seen across other European markets , these programs are likely to begin modestly in scale before ramping over time as patient enrollment expands , supply chains mature and regulatory clarity improves .

Boris Jordan: As we have seen across other European markets, these programs are likely to begin modestly in scale before ramping over time as patient enrollment expands, supply chains mature, and regulatory clarity improves. Importantly, as form factor restrictions evolve beyond extracts and access broadens, we expect growth trajectories to accelerate meaningfully. Over the longer term, we believe these markets, with a combined population of over 200 million people, have the potential to become significant contributors to our international business, reinforcing our first mover advantage and disciplined expansion strategy in Europe. In light of the restrictive regulatory challenges affecting hemp-derived THC products expected to take effect later this year, we made the deliberate decision to discontinue our hemp business. The revenue impact was de minimis as the business was still in its early startup phase.

Boris Jordan: Similarly, we also decided to exit Missouri, a state in which we were subscale producers of formulated products with no vertical presence. These decisions reflect our disciplined approach to capital allocation and our focus on opportunities where we have scale, visibility, and clear path to attractive returns. While we believe there may be ultimately a role for hemp-derived THC beverages within the broader consumer landscape, the timing, regulatory framework, and economic parameters of that category remain highly uncertain. That said, consumer adoption of alternatives to alcohol continues to accelerate, representing a meaningful long-term trend. We will continue to monitor regulatory developments closely, including ongoing discussions among members of Congress, and we will reassess our participation if and when the category evolves into a more defined, regulated, economically compelling opportunity. 2025 was a pivotal and highly productive year for our company.

Speaker #5: Hi . Good evening . Thank you for the question . And nice finish to the year for 2025 . I want to talk a bit about pricing pressure and outlook Boris , you spoke to another year of double digit pricing pressure .

Aaron Gray: Hi, good evening. Thank Thank you for the question and nice finish to the year for 2025. Wanted to talk a bit about pricing pressure and outlook. Boris, you spoke to another year of double-digit pricing pressure, so wanted to get some color in terms of your outlook for 2026 on pricing, if you're starting to see some price stabilization in certain markets. The second part to that question, just relating to your comfort in terms of having levers available to offset the pricing pressure as we saw in 2025, albeit from your Return to Our Roots initiative or yield improvements. Thank you.

Aaron Grey: Hi, good evening. Thank Thank you for the question and nice finish to the year for 2025. Wanted to talk a bit about pricing pressure and outlook.

The second part to that question, just relating to your comfort in terms of having levers available to offset the pricing pressure as we saw in 2025, albeit from your Return to Our Roots initiative or yield improvements. Thank you.

Speaker #5: So I want to get some color in terms of your outlook for 2026 on pricing . If you're starting to see some price stabilization in certain markets .

Speaker #5: And then second part to that question , just relating to your comfort in terms of having levers available to offset the pricing pressure , as we saw in 2025 , I'll be it from your back to roots initiative or yield improvements .

Speaker #5: Thank you

Speaker #3: Aaron . Thank you . Yes , we could we continue to see pricing pressure across most markets in the United States . And I think that that will probably continue through the first half of the year .

Ed Kremer: Yeah, Aaron, thank you. Yes, we continue to see pricing pressure across most markets in the United States, I think that that will probably continue through the first half of the year. I do expect, however, as the hemp ban comes into play towards the end of the year, a stabilization in pricing across markets as what we're starting to see is a shortage of certain products. I think that that's led by the fact that hemp has been prevalent on shelves across the whole country. Slowly, some of those products are starting to disappear. We're starting to see less advertising.

Boris Jordan: Yeah, Aaron, thank you. Yes, we continue to see pricing pressure across most markets in the United States, I think that that will probably continue through the first half of the year. I do expect, however, as the hemp ban comes into play towards the end of the year, a stabilization in pricing across markets as what we're starting to see is a shortage of certain products.

Speaker #3: Slowly , some of those products are starting to disappear . We're starting to see less advertising . I think a lot of the key stores are going to stop carrying a lot of these hemp products over the next several months , and as that happens , I think you will see a certain migration of customers over to the regulated market .

Ed Kremer: I think a lot of the C stores are gonna stop carrying a lot of these hemp products over the next several months. As that happens, I think you will see a certain migration of customers over to the regulated market. We certainly think about 50% of the $25 billion estimated revenue of the hemp market will probably move over to the regulated market. That's largely the flower, vape, and edibles part of the market. Whereas we anticipate that beverage will probably stay within the hemp market and the structure that will be established for it. Otherwise-

Boris Jordan: I think a lot of the C stores are gonna stop carrying a lot of these hemp products over the next several months. As that happens, I think you will see a certain migration of customers over to the regulated market.

Speaker #3: Whereas we anticipate that beverage will probably stay within the hemp market and the structure that will be established for it . But otherwise , we do start .

Boris Jordan: Otherwise I think we will start to see a firming of pricing going into the year-end and probably maybe even in some price moves higher going into 2027. In terms of our ability to fight those price compressions across markets, we are constantly focused on our efficiencies. We're getting more and more efficiencies out of our grow operations. We're doing a lot of improvements in both automation as well as in the grows themselves. We don't believe that we have squeezed every possible thing we can out of these efficiencies, and we do expect more of these efficiencies to come to fruition this year and feel comfortable that we'll be able to hold on to our margin profile that we have now.

Operator: The next question will come from Russell Stanley with Beacon. Please go ahead.

Speaker #6: Good afternoon and thanks for the pardon me . Thanks for the question . Just on the international business , I'm wondering how you're thinking about margin expectations .

Russell Stanley: Good afternoon, and thanks for the, pardon me. Thanks for the question. Just on the international business, I'm wondering how you're thinking about margin expectations there in 2026, given the drag in Q4 at 120 basis points. You know, Germany's continuing to scale nicely as a tailwind, but you've come up on new markets that justify their own investment. I'm wondering, you know, where do you think the margin drag will be, you know, this year and next? Just wondering what your mind's eye is showing you on that front. Thank you.

Speaker #6: There in 26 . Given given the drag in Q4 at 120 beeps , you know , Germany's continuing to scale nicely as a as a tailwind .

Speaker #6: But you've got multiple new markets that justify their own investments . So I'm wondering where you think the margin drag will be . This year and next .

Speaker #6: Just wondering what your mind's eye is showing on that front . Thank you .

Speaker #3: So we anticipate European margins to stay basically flat to where they were this year as our business scales , we do anticipate small improvements in those margins .

Boris Jordan: We anticipate European margins to stay basically flat to where they were this year. As the, our business scales, we do anticipate small improvements in those margins heading closer to the US margins that we receive in the business. However, we think that it's probably a little bit early as we're continuing to invest in our new markets. As I said, France, Spain, and Turkey, which is a drag, and those markets It will not start to revenue generate until, at best, Q4 of this year and early next year. I think that as the business scales in 2027, margins will start to improve and start to get better, closer to that 50% gross margin. This year, we anticipate margins being at the same sort of level of 42% to 43% that we're achieving.

Speaker #3: Heading closer to the US margins that we receive in the business . However , we think that this is probably a little bit early as we're continuing to invest in our new markets .

Speaker #3: As I said , France , Spain and Turkey , which is a drag in those markets , will not hit , will not start to revenue generate until at best , the fourth quarter of this year and early next year .

Speaker #3: So I think that as the business scales in 2027 , margins will start to improve and start to get better closer to that 50% gross margin .

Speaker #3: But this year , we anticipate margins being at the same sort of level of 42 to 43% that we're achieving . However , I do want to say that we have the absolute best in class .

Boris Jordan: This year, we anticipate margins being at the same sort of level of 42% to 43% that we're achieving.However, I do wanna say that we have the absolute best-in-class gross margins in the European market of any other operator in the market today. We're very proud of the way we operate our business in Europe, and those margins of Curaleaf are substantially better than all of our competition in European market. Using our US experience in running the business and applying that in the European markets has helped us receive the best-in-class margins in Europe.

Bill Kirk: Hey, can you guys hear me now?

Boris Jordan: We'll move on. Yes, we can. Yes. Go ahead, Bill.

Speaker #3: Yes we can . Yes . Hi , Bill .

[Analyst]: Awesome. Sorry. Sorry about that. What gives you guys confidence that the intoxicating hemp group won't be able to delay the ban or find some sort of reprieve? In states where you've effectively seen a ban already, like Massachusetts, what have you seen in your dispensaries in Massachusetts as intoxicating hemp's gone away?

Bill Kirk: Awesome. Sorry. Sorry about that. What gives you guys confidence that the intoxicating hemp group won't be able to delay the ban or find some sort of reprieve? In states where you've effectively seen a ban already, like Massachusetts, what have you seen in your dispensaries in Massachusetts as intoxicating hemp's gone away?

Speaker #7: Sorry about that . What gives you guys confidence that the intoxicating hemp group won't be able to delay the ban or find some sort of reprieve .

Speaker #7: And then in states where you've effectively seen a ban already , like Massachusetts , what have you seen in your dispensaries in Massachusetts ?

Speaker #7: As intoxicating ? Hemp's gone away .

Speaker #3: So again , I want to reiterate that the federal ban on hemp products is a one year ban from the time it was enacted in November of last year .

Boris Jordan: Again, I wanna reiterate that the federal ban on hemp products is a 1-year ban from the time it was enacted in November of last year. Even in Massachusetts, where you have local bans, in other states as well, you still see those products because federally, those products are allowed to be sold in those markets. However, specifically in Massachusetts Curaleaf, not directly related to the hemp ban, we have seen a marketable improvement in both margin and performance for Curaleaf in Massachusetts.

Speaker #3: And so even in Massachusetts , where you have local bands and other states as well , you still see those products because federally , those products are allowed to be sold in those markets .

Speaker #3: However , specifically in Massachusetts , Curaleaf not directly related to the hemp ban , we have seen a marked improvement in both margin and performance for Curaleaf in Massachusetts .

Boris Jordan: However, in terms of our confidence, as you know, we spend an enormous amount of time in Washington on the Hill. We are hearing there is zero chance that the Republicans are gonna vote for an extension of the hemp ban at this point in time. There may be some compromises around some of the medical programs that are going to play, and there may be, at some point, a compromise around beverage. I can tell you that I think chances are pretty low on that right now. At the moment, there is the, you know, the Republican side of which controls both the House and the Senate, at this point in time, has no interest.

Speaker #3: However , in terms of in terms of our confidence , as you know , we spend an enormous amount of time in Washington and on the Hill , and we are hearing there zero chance that the Republicans are going to vote for an extension of the hemp ban at this point in there may be some compromises around some of the medical programs that are going to play .

Boris Jordan: We are hearing there is zero chance that the Republicans are gonna vote for an extension of the hemp ban at this point in time. There may be some compromises around some of the medical programs that are going to play, and there may be, at some point, a compromise around beverage. I can tell you that I think chances are pretty low on that right now. At the moment, there is the, you know, the Republican side of which controls both the House and the Senate, at this point in time, has no interest.I believe today there was more information that came out of Washington that they have no interest in voting on extension of the hemp program.

Speaker #3: And there may be at some point , a compromise around beverage . But I can tell you that I think chances are pretty low on that right now .

Speaker #3: And at the moment there is the , you know , the Republican side which controls both the House and the Senate at this point in time , has no interest .

Speaker #3: And I believe today there was more information that came out of Washington than that . They have no interest in voting on extension of the hemp program .

Boris Jordan: I believe today there was more information that came out of Washington that they have no interest in voting on extension of the hemp program.

Speaker #7: Thank you . I'll jump back in the Q

[Analyst]: Thank you. I'll jump back in the queue.

Bill Kirk: Thank you. I'll jump back in the queue.

Speaker #1: And the next question will come from Frederico Gomez with ATB Cormack , Capital Markets . Please go ahead .

Operator: The next question will come from Frederico Gomes with ATB Cormark Capital Markets. Please go ahead.

Speaker #8: Hi . Thanks . Thanks for the questions . Question is on the pricing environment in Germany and the UK . Boris , our price is holding up well in those two markets .

Frederico Gomes: Hi, thanks for the questions. The question is on the pricing environment in Germany and the UK. Boris, are prices holding up well in those two markets, or do you see any sort of pressures coming there this year?

Speaker #8: Or do you see any sort of pressures coming there this year ?

Boris Jordan: Listen, I think the growth profile in both of those markets are very early stage. I mean, Germany is still around a $1 billion market. The UK is around 50 to 70 thousand patients. These are very early-stage markets. We anticipate growth to continue to be very strong in both of those markets going forward. If you think about it, you know, Germany has a program that is less than half the size of Florida, and it's got 4 and a half times the population. We're not particularly concerned about the growth profile in these markets. However, there has been a pressure on prices in both Germany and less so in the UK, but it's starting in the UK.

Speaker #3: Listen, I think the growth profile in both of those markets is very early stage. I mean, Germany is still around a $1 billion market.

Speaker #3: The UK is around 50 to 70,000 patients . These are very , very early stage markets . So we anticipate growth to continue to be very , very strong in both of those markets going forward .

Speaker #3: If you think about it , Germany has a program that is less than half the size of Florida , and it's got four and a half times the population .

Speaker #3: So we're not in particularly concerned about the growth profile in these markets . However , there has been a a there has been pressure on prices in both Germany and less so in the UK .

Speaker #3: But it's starting in the UK . But Curaleaf tends to operate at the upper end of the of the product segment . And so therefore we've been able to hold on to our margins .

Boris Jordan: Curaleaf tends to operate at the upper end of the product segment. Therefore, we've been able to hold on to our margins, given that our supply chain and our facilities that are available for us to move product are best in class, and we've been able to continue to hold on to our margins at the higher level. Again, we think growth will help in the scalability of the business and therefore, holding margins. Though we are seeing at the low end of the product portfolio, which we do not participate in, we are definitely seeing pricing pressures at the low end.

Speaker #3: Given that our supply chain and our facilities that are available for us to move product are best in class , and we've been able to continue to hold on to our margins at the higher level .

Speaker #3: Again , we think growth will help in this scalability of the business and therefore holding margins . But though we are seeing at the low end of the product portfolio , which we do not participate in , we are definitely seeing pricing pressures at the low end .

Speaker #10: You know , what were the changes that drove it and how sticky do you think those changes will prove in the eyes of the consumer ?

Speaker #3: I think with Curaleaf's case , it was definitely product quality . We had a massive focus since I became the CEO a year and a half ago on improving the product quality .

Boris Jordan: I think it, with Curaleaf, in Curaleaf's case, it was definitely product quality. We've had a massive focus since I became the CEO a year and a half ago, on improving the product quality, also assortment, and making sure that we had the right products in the right places at the right time. Between product quality and supply chain, as well as being able to be more efficient in the manufacturing process and therefore bringing down our cost base in the manufacturing of our products, all of those things contributed for us to be able to grow transactions.

Speaker #3: Also , assortment and making sure that we had the right products in the right places at the right time . So between product quality and supply chain , as as being able to be more efficient in the manufacturing process and therefore bringing down our cost base in the manufacturing of our products , all of those things contributed for us to be able to grow transactions .

Boris Jordan: I think that with our marketing launches, that you're going to start seeing here at the end of Q3, going into Q4, a lot of revamps, we think we will continue to see an improvement in traffic in not only our stores, but also through our marketing efforts, our products in third-party stores where we are wholesaling.

Speaker #3: And I think that, with our marketing launches that you're going to start seeing here at the end of the third quarter, going into the fourth quarter, a lot of revamps.
