Management Commentary:

"The third quarter demonstrated the depth and resilience of our business, with gross cannabis revenues rising 16% year-over-year to a record $44.1 million while we maintained profitability, expanded our national distribution footprint and continued to strengthen Cannara’s operating platform. Beyond our core operations, we advanced several strategic priorities, including completing the acquisition of Medican Organic Inc., securing exclusive Canadian rights to Blue River’s proprietary Ampersand™ live rosin infusion technology, and entering our first long-term international supply agreement with Curaleaf. Together with the acceleration of our cultivation capacity expansion, these milestones support Cannara’s next phase of disciplined, profitable growth," commented Zohar Krivorot, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Cannara.

"Cannara delivered another quarter of profitable growth, generating $31.8 million in total net revenues, $13.4 million in gross profit before fair value adjustments at a 42% margin, and $8.5 million in adjusted EBITDA, up 11% year-over-year. We remained profitable with net income of $4.8 million and generated $5.7 million in operating cash flow. While free cash flow reflected continued capital investment in the Valleyfield expansion, these investments are designed to expand processing capacity, support future grow-zone activations and unlock the next phase of growth while maintaining the financial discipline that underpins our profitability," said Nicholas Sosiak, Chief Operating Officer and interim Chief Financial Officer of Cannara.

Q3 2026 OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

Product innovation and distribution platform momentum

Cannara continued to advance its innovation strategy in Q3 2026, with new launches across dried flower, pre-rolls, infused pre-rolls, vapes, concentrates and CBD formats. The quarter was highlighted by the continued scaling of Nugz Flavour Bomb, which expanded across infused pre-roll and liquid diamond vape formats and now ranks among Ontario’s top three best-selling infused pre-roll multipacks6. Flavour Bomb also leads the segment in sales per SKU, generating nearly six times the category average in retail sales with only three SKUs, underscoring Cannara’s ability to create differentiated, high-velocity product platforms.

Additional launches included new Tribal formats across Gran Turismo, Porto Leche, Neon Sunshine and Bubble Up, as well as the launch of Nugz Great Buy OZ dried flower in a 28 gram format and Orchid’s Jean Guy CBD across dried flower, pre-rolls and flower sticks.

Expanding Distribution and Maintaining Strong Market Share Across Canada

As of the date of the MD&A, Cannara products exceeded 49,000 points of distribution and represented an estimated 3.3% of total cannabis product retail listings nationally, compared to 3.1% in Q3 2026, 3.0% in Q2 2026 and 2.9% in Q1 20267. This increasing retail penetration, together with Cannara’s estimated national retail market share of 4.4% in Q3 20268, reflects continued outperformance relative to product listings and a strengthening presence in the Canadian cannabis market.

In Ontario, Canada’s largest and most competitive cannabis market, Cannara’s estimated retail market share increased to 3.5% in Q3 2026 and reached 3.7% in June 2026, while Alberta reached a record 2.9% estimated retail market share in June 2026, highlighting continued progress in expanding beyond the Company’s Québec leadership position9.

Advancing Cannara's Vertically Integrated Platform Through Strategic M&A and Partnerships

During and subsequent to Q3 2026, Cannara advanced several operational and strategic milestones that strengthen its vertically integrated platform and position the Company for continued domestic and international growth.

In May 2026, Cannara completed the acquisition of all shares of Medican Organic Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of BZAM Ltd., for an aggregate purchase price of $2.8 million, finalizing the Company's prior acquisition of its Valleyfield cultivation and manufacturing facility, originally purchased from Medican in June 2021, and completed following Medican's exit from proceedings under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act ("CCAA"). As part of the acquisition, the Company recognized an identifiable intangible asset of $2.7 million, which related to intellectual property acquired by the Company.

In July 2026, the Company secured an exclusive agreement with Blue River of Florida, LLC ("Blue River"), granting Cannara exclusive Canadian rights to manufacture and commercialize Ampersand™ infused live rosin ingestible products using Blue River's proprietary infusion technology, with first products expected to launch under the Nugz brand in 5-gram containers containing 500 mg of THC, subject to applicable regulatory approvals and provincial listing processes.

In July 2026, Cannara also entered into its first long-term international supply agreement with Curaleaf International Limited ("Curaleaf") for the production and supply of bulk cannabis flower destined for international markets, commencing August 1, 2026. The Agreement, if fully realized, has a potential aggregate contract value of up to C$21 million over the term of the Agreement, based on committed supply volumes and the terms and conditions of the Agreement.

As part of the agreement, Curaleaf will support Cannara's pursuit of EU-GMP certification of its processing centre at the Valleyfield facility.

FINANCING

Interest rates: As of May 31, 2026, the Company had achieved a weighted average interest rate of 4.88% across its debt facilities.

Capital draws: During Q3 2026, the Company drew $2.0 million under its $10.0 million credit facility, which was secured to finance the construction of the new post-processing centre at the Valleyfield Facility.

CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS

Share options: Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company granted 40,000 share options to employees at an exercise price of $1.90 per share, vesting over four years and expiring after ten years.
