The Company plans to use the Hope Facility to expand its production capacity. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2025. The Company's Delta Facility received its CUMCS Equivalency IMC-G.A.P. certification and executed its first international shipment. 1964 Supply Co™ launched two more FSE resin vapes with LA Kush and Stinky Pinky, bringing the total amount of vapes available to 7. 2025 OutlookWith growing demand for Canadian cannabis from the domestic and international markets, we see that controlling access to premium quality supply is critical to continue to grow our brands and gross revenue. Our Delta Facility is fully operational and has annual production capacity of 11,000 kg. We are continuously evaluating ways to improve both our yield and quality at the Delta Facility and are in the trial stage of evaluating additional lighting at site. In order to increase our supply of premium flower, we plan to acquire the Hope Facility that will significantly expand our annual production capacity, adding an annual production capacity of 4,500 kg, representing an over 40% increase over our current annual production capacity from the Delta Facility, bringing total annual production capacity to 15,500 kg of premium cannabis. This acquisition is planned to close in Q2 2025 with certain incremental capital to meet our requirements completed by mid-summer. Pending licensing timing expected sometime in the summer, we expect to be running at full capacity by the end of the year but not contributing to our revenue until 2026. We expect to incur additional debt financing related to the Hope Facility. Our 2024 net revenue growth has been driven through strategic partnerships with co-manufacturers and contract growers and these arrangements are expected to provide up to 2,000 kgs of incremental biomass to our business in 2025. We plan to continue to collaborate with our trusted partners and explore additional partnerships as we strive to meet the growing demand for our high-quality premium are committed to the growing Canadian cannabis market and dedicated to being a trusted partner for our customers—including provincial distributors, retailers, and consumers. As the Canadian customers face increasing competition from international demand, we have seen many mainstream and premium licensed producers shifting their sales abroad. We see this as a prime opportunity to strengthen our brand presence in Canada. With SKU rationalization underway across several provinces, suppliers are being evaluated on reliability and sales performance. This shift is raising the bar for market entry, making it increasingly challenging for new brands and products to secure shelf space. At the same time, Canadian consumers are becoming more brand-loyal, prioritizing trust and value in their purchasing decisions. We believe our award-winning brands and diverse product portfolio will continue to resonate with them. Looking ahead, we anticipate a more competitive retail landscape. However, Rubicon's strong brand recognition, consumer loyalty, high supplier ratings, and strategic positioning provide a solid foundation for long-term success in possess valuable and unique intellectual property in cannabis genetics, which we consider a critical asset in maintaining our position as a leading innovator within the industry. Our extensive genetics library is central to our strategy of delivering consistent, high-quality genetics and new product offerings for the premium and super-premium markets. While we maintain confidentiality around our specific genetics strategy, we view this as a significant competitive advantage and anticipate introducing exciting new genetic launches in strong reputation in Canada has attracted an increasing number of inquiries from international medical cannabis buyers. The international cannabis market has experienced significant growth in recent years, with continued expansion anticipated. While the market is still in the early stages of adopting premium cannabis products, we aim to meet small amounts of the international demand with a test and learn strategy in 2025 making sure to meet our Canadian customer needs as a priority. The Company holds the necessary certifications for international exports and made its inaugural international shipment in the first quarter of 2025, we are forecasting growth in both net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, excluding acquisition-related and start up operational costs associated with the Hope Facility (the 'Hope Costs'), driven by our ongoing expansion and strategic initiatives. While we anticipate strong performance in 2025, we expect the Hope Costs will impact our overall financial results.
