Cresco Labs Inc. Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Cresco Labs Inc. (“Cresco Labs” or the “Company”), formerly known as Randsburg International Gold Corp. (“Randsburg”) was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia under the Company Act (British Columbia) on July 6, 1990. The Company is one of the largest vertically-integrated multi-state cannabis operators in the United States licensed to cultivate, manufacture and sell retail and medical cannabis products primarily through Sunnyside*[®] , Cresco Labs’ national dispensary brand and third-party retail stores. Employing a consumer-packaged goods approach to cannabis, Cresco Labs’ house of brands is designed to meet the needs of all consumer segments and includes Cresco[®] , Cresco Reserve[®] , High Supply[®] , Mindy’s[TM] , Good News[®] , Remedi[TM] , Wonder Wellness Co.[® ] and FloraCal[®] Farms. The Company operates in and/or has ownership interests in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, California, Arizona, New York, Massachusetts, Michigan, Florida and Maryland pursuant to the Illinois Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act and the Illinois Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act; the Pennsylvania Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Act; the Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program; the California Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act; the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act and the Smart and Safe Arizona Act; the New York Compassionate Care Act and the New York Marijuana Regulation and Tax Act; the Massachusetts Regulation and Taxation of Marijuana Act and the Medical Use of Marijuana Act; the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act, the Michigan Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act and the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act; the Florida Compassionate Medical Cannabis Act; and the Maryland Medical Marijuana Act, respectively.

On November 30, 2018, in connection with a reverse takeover (the “Transaction”), the Company (i) consolidated its outstanding Randsburg common shares on an 812.63 old for one (1) new basis and (ii) filed an alteration to its Notice of Articles with the British Columbia Registrar of Companies to change its name from Randsburg to Cresco Labs Inc. and to amend the rights and restrictions of its existing classes of common shares, redesignate such classes as the class of SVS and create the classes of PVS and Super Voting Shares (“MVS”).

Pursuant to the Transaction, among the Company (then Randsburg) and Cresco Labs, LLC, a series of transactions were completed on November 30, 2018, resulting in a reorganization of Cresco Labs, LLC and Randsburg in which Randsburg became the indirect parent and sole voting unitholder of Cresco Labs. The Transaction constituted a reverse takeover of Randsburg by Cresco Labs, LLC, under applicable securities laws. Cresco Labs, LLC was formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the state of Illinois on October 8, 2013 and is governed by the Cresco LLC limited liability agreement (“Pre-Combination LLC Agreement”). The Pre-Combination LLC Agreement was further amended and restated in connection with the completion of the Transaction.

The Company trades on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the ticker symbol “CL,” on the Over-the-Counter Market under the ticker symbol “CRLBF” and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “6CQ.”

The Company’s head office is located at Suite 110, 400 W Erie St, Chicago, IL 60654. The registered office is located at Suite 2500, 666 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 2X8.

Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other reporting period. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include estimates and assumptions of management that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

(b) Basis of Measurement

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, except for certain loans receivable, investments, derivative instruments, deferred consideration and contingent consideration, which are recorded at fair value. Historical cost is generally based upon the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets acquired and the contractual obligation for liabilities incurred.

(c) Functional and Presentation Currency

The Company’s functional currency and that of the majority of its subsidiaries is the United States (“U.S.”) dollar. The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar (“USD”). All references to “C$” refer to Canadian dollars. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are re-measured into the functional currency using period-end exchange rates. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in Other income, net in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Assets and liabilities of foreign operations having a functional currency other than USD (e.g., C$) are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date; revenues and expenses are translated at the monthly average rate of exchange during the period. Gains or losses on translation of foreign subsidiaries and net investments in foreign operations are included in Foreign currency translation differences, net of tax in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss and in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(d) Basis of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries with intercompany balances and transactions eliminated upon consolidation. Subsidiaries are those entities over which the Company has power over the investee, is exposed, or has rights, to variable involvement with the investee; and has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

Cresco U.S. Corp., which is wholly owned by the Company, is the sole manager of Cresco Labs, LLC; Cresco Labs, LLC is the sole owner and manager of Cresco Labs Notes Issuer, LLC. Therefore, the Company controls Cresco Labs Notes Issuer, LLC and has consolidated its results into the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

Non-controlling interests (“NCI”) represent ownership interests in consolidated subsidiaries by parties that are not shareholders of the Company. They are shown as a component of total equity in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Balance Sheets and the share of net income attributable to NCI is shown as a component of Net loss in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations and in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss. Changes in the parent company’s ownership that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.

(e) Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the net earnings or loss attributable to shareholders by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. The Company presents basic and diluted EPS in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to shareholders and the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential shares, which are comprised of redeemable Cresco Labs, LLC shares; options, warrants and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) issued. Shares with anti-dilutive impacts are excluded from the calculation. The number of shares included with respect to redeemable shares, options, warrants and RSUs is computed using the treasury stock method.

(f) Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2021-04 Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entitys Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). ASU No. 2021-04 clarifies and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options due to a lack of explicit guidance in the FASB Codification. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance has not had a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

(g) Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entitys Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). ASU No. 2020-06 simplifies and adds disclosure requirements for the accounting and measurement of convertible instruments and the settlement assessment for contracts in an entity’s own equity. The amendments in this update are effective for all business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, costs related to construction at the Company’s facilities and dispensaries were capitalized in construction in progress and not depreciated. Depreciation will commence when construction is completed and the facilities and dispensaries are available for their intended use. Land costs at each balance sheet date are included in Land and Buildings.

In the second quarter of 2022, the Company determined that approximately $2.4 million of materials held in construction in progress would not be used. The assets were classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2022. Based on

14

Cresco Labs Inc. Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

an analysis of fair value for these materials, the book value of these assets was written down to $0.9 million during the second quarter of 2022, with a $1.5 million loss on sale recorded to Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations. The materials were sold in July of 2022 for $0.9 million.

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company initiated a plan to shut down a cultivation facility and a production facility in California. As a result of this plan, the Company exercised its early termination right to reduce the existing lease terms to 180 days at these locations and determined that the useful life of impacted leasehold improvements had essentially ended. As such, the Company accelerated depreciation on these leasehold improvements to reduce the associated net book value down to $nil, with additional depreciation expense taken on these leasehold improvements in the amount of $2.7 million during the second quarter of 2022. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded additional accelerated depreciation on other remaining assets at the facility in the amount of $0.6 million. The Company is currently in the process of determining a disposal plan for the remaining assets at these locations.

On September 1, 2022, the Company closed on a sale and leaseback transaction to sell its Brookville, Pennsylvania facility to Aventine Property Group (“Aventine”). Concurrent with the closing of the sale, the Company, entered into a long-term, triple-net lease agreement with Aventine and will continue to operate the facility as a permitted cannabis cultivation and processing facility. In connection with this transaction, the Company disposed of fixed assets with a net book value of $29.7 million and recorded a net gain on sale of assets of $14.7 million to Other income, net, in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In addition to the depreciation expense on long-lived assets shown above of $29.2 million, additional depreciation expense was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2022 related to an abandoned construction in progress project of $0.6 million. Total depreciation of $9.5 million and $7.1 million was incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, of which $2.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively, is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses, with $7.1 million and $5.5 million in Cost of goods sold and ending inventory, respectively. Total depreciation of $29.8 million and $18.3 million was incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, of which $7.0 million and $4.6 million, respectively, is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses, with $22.8 million and $13.7 million in Cost of goods sold and ending inventory, respectively.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, ending inventory includes $11.4 million and $9.1 million of capitalized depreciation, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, $8.1 million and $4.1 million, respectively, of depreciation was recorded to Cost of goods sold, which includes $6.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively, related to depreciation capitalized to inventory in prior quarters. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, $20.5 million and $11.1 million, respectively, of depreciation was recorded to Cost of goods sold, which includes $8.9 million and $3.6 million, respectively, related to depreciation capitalized to inventory in prior years.

NOTE 5. LEASES

The Company is the lessee in all of its leasing arrangements and has entered into leases primarily for its corporate office, cultivation and processing facilities and dispensaries. Depending upon the type of lease, the original lease terms generally range from 1 year to 20 years. Certain leases include renewal options ranging from less than one year to 25 years. The Company is reasonably certain to exercise renewal options ranging from 1 year to 10 years on certain leases.

The Company also has long-term financing liabilities associated with certain properties. See Note 11 for additional details on these transactions.

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company initiated a plan to shut down a cultivation facility and a production facility in California. As a result of this plan, the Company has terminated the existing leases at these locations. A

15

Cresco Labs Inc. Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

termination notice was issued to the landlord of these locations, which included two long-term greenhouse leases and a short-term rental of a housing facility. Due to differences between the carrying amounts of the right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities associated with these leases, a gain on lease termination of $5.2 million was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and is included in Other income, net, in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations.

On September 1, 2022, the Company closed on a sale and leaseback transaction to sell its Brookville, Pennsylvania, facility to Aventine. Concurrent with the closing of the sale, the Company entered into a long-term, triple-net lease agreement with Aventine and will continue to operate the facility as the permitted cannabis cultivation and processing facility. The selling price for the property was $43.7 million, net of transaction costs and a net gain on sale of assets of $14.7 million was recorded to Other income, net, in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations. The lease has a term of 10 years and was recorded as an operating lease which resulted in a ROU asset and lease liability of $29.7 million.

As of both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, ending inventory includes $0.1 million of capitalized lease depreciation. For both the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, $0.1 million of lease depreciation was recorded to Cost of goods sold which includes $0.1 million of lease depreciation capitalized to inventory in prior quarters. For both the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, $0.3 million of lease depreciation was recorded to Cost of goods sold, which includes $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of lease depreciation capitalized to inventory in prior years.

Cresco Labs Inc. Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company mutually terminated the agreement for exclusive distribution rights with a third-party vendor which resulted in the impairment of the remaining net book value of the market-related intangible of $0.8 million. Management determined that the Company’s shift in strategy to reduce third-party distribution in California was an indicator of impairment as of September 30, 2021 for associated assets. Certain trade names and customer relationship intangibles with remaining net book values of $32.2 million and $57.1 million, respectively, were determined to be fully impaired due to updated cash flow projections associated with these assets. Additionally, $200.6 million in goodwill impairment was recorded to the California reporting unit during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Weighted-average stock price of options on the dates on which options were exercised for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $3.69 and $4.66 per option, respectively.

The fair value of stock options granted under the Plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following range of assumptions at the time of the grant:

September 30, 2022
Risk-free annual interest rate 1.4% - 2.7%
Expected annual dividend yield 0%
Expected stock price volatility 74.9% to 79.4%
Expected life of stock options 5.5 to 7 years
Forfeiture rate 9.4% - 21.3%
Fair value at grant date $1.67 to $4.90
Stock price at grant date $2.53 to $6.91
Exercise price range $2.53 to $6.91

23

Cresco Labs Inc. Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

Volatility was estimated by using the average historical volatility of comparable companies from a representative peer group of direct and indirect peers of publicly traded companies, as the Company and the cannabis industry have minimal historical share price history available. An increase in volatility would result in an increase in fair value at grant date. The expected life in years represents the period of time that options issued are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on U.S. treasury bills with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options. The forfeiture rate is estimated based on historical forfeitures experienced by the Company.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company has an RSU program to provide employees an additional avenue to participate in the successes of the Company. The fair value of RSUs granted was determined by the fair value of the Company’s share price on date of grant.

Cresco Labs Inc. Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

Company capitalized $10.9 million of borrowing costs related to the Senior Loan, of which $7.0 million is payable upon principal repayment of the Senior Loan and thus, is reflected within Other long-term liabilities.

The Senior Loan is secured by a guarantee from substantially all material subsidiaries of the Company, as well as by a security interest in certain assets of the Company and such material subsidiaries. The Senior Loan also contains negative covenants, which restrict the actions of the Company and its subsidiaries during the term of the loan, including restrictions on paying dividends, making investments and incurring additional indebtedness. In addition, the Company is required to maintain a minimum cash balance of $50.0 million and to ensure that the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio; defined as the ratio of (a) consolidated EBITDA less non-financed capital expenditures; restricted payments, as defined by the loan agreement; and federal, state, provincial, local and foreign income taxes (b) consolidated fixed charges; is not less than 2 to 1. As of November 15, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

The Company may prepay in whole or in part the Senior Loan at any time prior to the stated maturity date, subject to certain conditions, upon the payment of the outstanding principal amount (plus a specified prepayment premium) and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees. Interest expense is discussed in Note 19.

As discussed in Note 10, on March 23, 2022, the Company announced it had entered into the Arrangement Agreement with Columbia Care to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Columbia Care.

The Company recognized financing liabilities in relation to sale and leaseback transactions for which the incremental borrowing rates range from 11.3% to 17.5% with remaining terms between 7.3 and 17.8 years, consistent with the underlying lease liabilities. The interest expense associated with financing liabilities is disclosed in Note 19.

The Company generates revenue, net of sales discounts, at the point in time the control of the product is transferred to the customer, as the Company has a right to payment and the customer has assumed significant risks and rewards of such product without any remaining performance obligation. Sales discounts were approximately 10.3% and 6.3% of gross revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Sales discounts were approximately 9.9% and 5.4% of gross revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

(b)

Loyalty Programs

In the states of Illinois, Arizona, Pennsylvania, New York and Florida; the Company has customer loyalty programs where retail customers accumulate points based on their level of spending. These points are recorded as a contract liability until customers redeem their points for discounts on cannabis products as part of an in-store sales transaction. In addition, the Company records a performance obligation as a reduction of revenue that ranges between $0.01 and $0.04 per loyalty point. Upon redemption, the loyalty program obligation is relieved and the offset is recorded as revenue. As of September 30, 2022 and 2021, there were 124.9 million and 71.3 million points outstanding, with an approximate value of $2.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

The remaining liability for the SLO Leases will expire in the fourth quarter of 2022.

The Company has liabilities for real estate leases and other financing agreements in which the lessor is Clear Heights Properties, where Dominic Sergi, MVS shareholder, is Chief Executive Officer. The liabilities were incurred by entering into operating leases, finance leases and other financing transactions with terms that will expire in 2030.

NOTE 15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

(a) Claims and Litigation

From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. As of September 30, 2022, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of the Company’s operations. There are also no proceedings in which any of the Company’s directors, officers, or affiliates are an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the Company’s interest.

(b) Contingencies

The Company’s operations are subject to a variety of federal, state and local regulations. Failure to comply with one or more of those regulations could result in fines, restrictions on the Company’s operations, suspension or revocation permits, or other disciplinary actions (collectively, “Disciplinary Actions”) that could adversely affect the Company’s financial position and results of operations. While management believes that the Company is in substantial compliance with applicable regulations as of September 30, 2022, these regulations continue to evolve and are subject to differing interpretations and enforcement. As a result, the Company may be subject to Disciplinary Actions in the future.

(c) Commitments

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had total commitments of $11.7 million related to material construction projects. During the first quarter of 2022, pursuant to the Illinois Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act, the Company issued an additional $0.2 million in loans to an Illinois company which has secured Craft Grower Licenses to operate in the state and $1.0 million in loans to groups that have been identified by the state of Illinois as having the opportunity to receive Conditional Adult Use Dispensing Organization Licenses. These loans are discussed in Note 16. These loans fully satisfy the Company’s funding requirements under Illinois Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act; however, the Company may elect to fund similar loans in the future.

The Company has employment agreements with key management personnel which include severance in the event of termination totaling approximately $4.6 million with additional equity and/or benefit compensation.

NOTE 16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments are held at amortized cost (adjusted for impairments or expected credit losses as applicable) or fair value. The carrying values of financial instruments held at amortized cost approximate their fair values as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 due to their nature and relatively short maturity date. Financial assets and liabilities with embedded derivative features are carried at fair value.

Financial instruments recorded at fair value are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs to fair value measurements. The three levels of hierarchy are:

  • Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  • Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

  • Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

There have been no transfers between fair value levels valuing these assets during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The following tables summarize the Company’s financial instruments as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

The December 31, 2021 Level 3 asset balance of $1.2 million decreased by $0.5 million to a September 30, 2022 balance of $0.7 million. The decrease was driven by the settlement of the Lighthouse loan, which was classified as Loans receivable, short-term.

The December 31, 2021 Level 3 liability balance of $90.6 million, decreased by $36.5 million compared to the September 30, 2022 balance of $54.1 million. The decrease was primarily driven by payment of the Cultivate contingent consideration earnout of $39.6 million in the second quarter of 2022. Additionally, the fair value of warrants decreased by $1.2 million, to $nil, driven by the expiration of the instruments and the Laurel Harvest deferred consideration decreased by $1.3 million, based on an increase in the associated discount rate. These decreases were partially offset by a $5.6 million increase to the fair value of the Cultivate contingent consideration balance during the first quarter of 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, amounts of $9.0 million and $4.4 million were reclassified from long-term to short-term related to the Laurel Harvest deferred consideration liability and the Valley Ag operating cash flows deferred consideration liability, respectively. See Note 10 for additional discussion of the reclassifications.

(c) Share Purchase Warrants

At September 30, 2022, the Company had 2.1 million warrants outstanding, none of which are classified as current liabilities.

In the second quarter of 2022, the Company reduced the liability classified warrants to $nil, resulting in a mark-to-market gain of $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The gain was driven by changes in the Company’s share price, volatility and the remaining expected life of the warrants. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, all 4.2 million liability-classified warrants expired.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a mark-to-market gain of $8.0 million, primarily due to a decrease in the Company’s share price, a decrease in remaining expected life and a decrease in the volatility; additionally, the Company recorded a $0.2 million unrealized gain on foreign exchange. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a mark-to-market gain of $10.7 million, primarily due to a decrease in the Company’s share price, volatility and remaining expected life; additionally, the Company recorded a $0.3 million unrealized loss on foreign exchange.

All warrants classified as derivative liabilities are measured at fair value. As of December 31, 2021, the fair value of liability-classified warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model utilizing the following assumptions:

December 31, 2021
Risk-free annual interest rate 0.15%
Expected annual dividend yield 0%
Expected stock price volatility 47.3%
Expected life of stock warrants < 1 year
Forfeiture rate 0%
Share price at period end $6.62
Strike price at period end $9.86

Volatility was calculated by using the Company’s historical share volatility. The expected life in years represented the period of time before warrants expired. The risk-free rate was based on U.S. treasury bills with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the warrants. The Company did not estimate forfeitures on warrants.

Financial Risk Management

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board and the Company’s management mitigate these risks by assessing, monitoring and approving the Company’s risk management processes:

(a) Credit and Banking Risk

Credit risk is the risk of a potential loss to the Company if a customer or a third-party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The maximum credit exposure as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable and loans receivable. The Company does not have significant credit risk with respect to its growth in its key retail markets, as payment is typically due upon transferring the goods to the customer at our dispensaries. which currently accept only cash and debit cards. Additionally, the Company does not have significant credit risk with respect to its loan counterparties as the interest rate on our Senior Loan is not variable and therefore, is not materially impacted by interest rate increases enacted by the Federal Reserve. Although all deposited cash is placed with U.S. financial institutions in good standing with regulatory authorities, changes in U.S. federal banking laws related to the deposit and holding of funds derived from activities related to the cannabis industry have passed the U.S. House of Representatives but have not yet been voted on within the U.S. Senate. Given that current U.S. federal law provides that the production and possession of cannabis is illegal, there is a strong argument that banks cannot accept or deposit funds from businesses involved with the cannabis industry, leading to an increased risk of legal actions against the Company and forfeitures of the Company’s assets.

The Company’s aging of Accounts receivables as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was as follows:

($ in thousands) September 30, 2022
December 31, 2021

2,220
Total Accounts receivable, net $

43,379

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded bad debt expense of $1.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, to account for ECL and recorded an additional $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in bad debt related to invoice write-offs.

(b)

Asset Forfeiture Risk

Because the cannabis industry remains illegal under U.S. federal law, any property owned by participants in the cannabis industry which are either used in the course of conducting such business, or are the proceeds of such business, could be subject to seizure by law enforcement and subsequent civil asset forfeiture. Even if the owner of the property was never charged with a crime, the property in question could still be seized and subject to an administrative proceeding by which, with minimal due process, it could be subject to forfeiture.

(c) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company primarily manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure by ensuring that it will have sufficient liquidity to settle obligations and liabilities when due. As of

38

Cresco Labs Inc. Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

September 30, 2022, the Company had working capital (defined as current assets less current liabilities) of $84.6 million. The Company will continue to raise capital as needed to fund operations and expansion. In addition to the commitments outlined in Note 15, the Company has the following contractual obligations as of September 30, 2022:

(d) Market Risk

(i) Currency Risk

The operating results and balance sheet of the Company are reported in USD. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are primarily in USD. However, from time to time, some of the Company’s financial transactions are denominated in currencies other than USD. The results of the Company’s operations are subject to currency transaction and translation risks. The Company recorded $0.2 million and $0.3 million in foreign exchange losses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The Company recorded $0.2 million and $1.3 million in foreign exchange losses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no hedging agreements in place with respect to foreign exchange rates. The Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to hedge possible currency risks at this time.

(ii) Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. An increase or decrease in the Company’s incremental borrowing rate would result in an associated increase or decrease in Deferred consideration, contingent consideration and other payables and Interest expense, net. The Company’s Senior Loan accrues at a rate of 9.5% per annum and has an effective interest rate of 11.0%.

(iii) Price Risk

Price risk is the risk of variability in fair value due to movements in equity or market prices. The Company is subject to price risk related to derivative liabilities and contingent consideration that are valued based on the Company’s own stock price. An increase or decrease in stock price would result in an associated increase or decrease to Deferred consideration, contingent consideration and other payables and Derivative liabilities, short-term with a corresponding change to Other income, net.

(iv) Tax Risk

Tax risk is the risk of changes in the tax environment that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Currently, state-licensed marijuana businesses are assessed a comparatively high effective federal tax rate due to Internal Revenue Code

39

Cresco Labs Inc. Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

(“IRC”) Section 280E, which bars businesses from deducting all expenses except their cost of goods sold when calculating federal tax liability. Any increase in tax levies resulting from additional tax measures may have a further adverse effect on the operations of the Company, while any decrease in such tax levies will be beneficial to future operations. See Note 20 for the Company’s disclosure of uncertain tax positions.

(v) Regulatory Risk

Regulatory risk pertains to the risk that the Company’s business objectives are contingent, in part, upon the compliance of regulatory requirements. Due to the nature of the industry, the Company recognizes that regulatory requirements are more stringent and punitive in nature. Any delays in obtaining, or failure to obtain regulatory approvals can significantly delay operational and product development and can have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operation and financial condition. The Company is cognizant of the advent of regulatory changes occurring in the cannabis industry on the city, state and national levels. Although the regulatory outlook on the cannabis industry has been moving in a positive trend, the Company is aware that unforeseen regulatory changes could have a material adverse impact on the goals and operation of the business as a whole.

(vi) Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19 ”) Risk

COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 12, 2020. During the fourth quarter of 2020, the first vaccine utilized to prevent coronavirus infection was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. As of September 30, 2022, the vaccine is widely available, however, there remains significant economic uncertainty and consequently, it is difficult to reliably measure the potential impact of this uncertainty on the Company’s future financial results.

(vii) Inflation Risk

Inflation risk is the risk that rising inflation will increase our cultivation costs, distribution costs and operating expenses; thus, impacting our operating results. The Company maintains strategies to mitigate the impact of higher raw material, energy and commodity costs, which include cost reduction, sourcing and other actions, which may help to offset a portion of the adverse impact.

Cresco Labs Inc. Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

NOTE 20. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES AND DEFERRED INCOME TAXES

As the Company operates in the cannabis industry, the Company is subject to the limits of IRC Section 280E for U.S. federal income tax purposes as well as some state income tax purposes. Under IRC Section 280E, the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to sales of product. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC Section 280E. However, certain states including California, Maryland and New York do not conform to IRC Section 280E and, accordingly, the Company deducts all operating expenses on its income tax returns in these states.

The Company is treated as a United States corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under IRC Section 7874 and is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its worldwide income. However, for Canadian tax purposes, the Company, regardless of any application of IRC Section 7874, is treated as a Canadian resident company, as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada), for Canadian income tax purposes. As a result, the Company is subject to taxation both in Canada and the United States.

During the third quarter of 2022, the Company identified certain expenses classified as selling, general and administrative for financial statement purposes that could be considered costs related to sales of product for tax purposes. The Company plans to continue with this treatment for the year ended 2022. The Company has determined that this tax treatment does not meet the more likely than not threshold under ASC 740 Income Taxes due to the evolving interpretations of IRC Section 280E, and, as a result, a reserve for an uncertain tax position of $5.7 million related to the 2022 tax year has been recorded as of September 30, 2022. The Company expects to record an additional reserve related to the 2021 tax year during the fourth quarter of 2022, once all 2021 income tax returns have been filed.

The following table summarizes the Company’s income tax expense and effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:

NOTE 21. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through November 15, 2022, which is the date on which these financial statements were issued.

On November 4, 2022, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to divest certain New York, Illinois, and Massachusetts assets (the “Assets”) to entities owned and controlled by Sean “Diddy” Combs, (the “Combs Transaction”) for total consideration of $185.0 million (the “Purchase Price”). The divestiture of the Assets is required for Cresco Labs to close its previously announced acquisition of Columbia Care and is expected to close concurrently with the closing of the Columbia Care Transaction. The purchasing entities will acquire certain Cresco Labs and Columbia Care assets in New York, Illinois, and Massachusetts. A portion of the Purchase Price is payable upon closing of the Combs Transaction, subject to adjustments contained in the definitive agreements, and will be comprised of approximately $110.0 million in cash and approximately $45.0 million of seller notes. The remaining portion of the Purchase Price is payable post-closing of the Combs Transaction upon achievement of certain short-term, objective, and market-based milestones. The following combination of Cresco Labs (“CL”) and Columbia Care (“CC”) assets will be divested in the Combs Transaction:

Cresco Labs Inc. Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

  • New York: Brooklyn (CC), Manhattan (CC), New Hartford (CL), and Rochester (CC) retail assets and Rochester (CC) production asset.

  • Massachusetts: Greenfield (CC), Worcester (CL), and Leicester (CL) retail assets and Leicester (CL) production asset.

  • Illinois: Chicago – Jefferson Park (CC) and Villa Park (CC) retail assets and Aurora (CC) production asset.
