The acquisition of a new facility in Hope, BC, is expected to expand annual production capacity by over 40% to 15,500 kgs. The company's resin vape line captured nearly 15% of the segment, showing strong market acceptance and growth potential. The company experienced some share loss in the topical category due to competitors entering with lower-priced SKUs. Rubicon Organics Inc (ROMJF) anticipates significant startup operational expenses for the Hope Facility in 2025, with revenue not expected until 2026. There is a noted volatility in the capital markets, which could impact future financial strategies and growth plans. The company faces challenges in maintaining premium pricing amidst competition from lower-cost legacy markets. Gross margins showed fluctuations, with a slight decrease from Q4 2024, highlighting potential cost management challenges. Q: Can you provide more details on the 2,000 kilograms of contract-grown biomass expected this year? Is this incremental compared to last year? A: Yes, the 2,000 kilograms is entirely incremental. We did have some contract growth last year, but this is additional to that. (Margaret Brodie, CEO) Q: Once the Hope facility is operational, will you continue with contract grows, or will Hope replace them? A: We plan to continue with contract grows. We have long-term contracts with annual pricing discussions, and being a reliable partner is valuable in this market. (Margaret Brodie, CEO) Q: When do you anticipate receiving the license to start planting at the Hope facility? A: We expect to receive the license by the end of the summer, possibly by mid-July. We aim to have at least one harvest this year. (Margaret Brodie, CEO) Q: How should we think about gross margins on an annual basis, given quarterly fluctuations? A: Our production costs remain relatively flat annually. We aim for a gross margin around 35%, supported by pre-roll automation benefits. (Margaret Brodie, CEO) Q: Can you comment on the state of the premium cannabis segment and any impact of deflation on revenue growth? A: The premium segment remains stable, with some price increases since Q4 '24. We haven't experienced deflation impacting our revenue growth, as our genetics and brand strength continue to drive consumer demand. (Margaret Brodie, CEO) Q: What is your strategy for selling the new capacity from the Hope facility? A: We have strong unmet demand for larger format products and consistent high-quality products for international markets. We are confident in selling all of the new capacity. (Margaret Brodie, CEO) Q: Are you planning to expand beyond live resin vapes in your product offerings? A: Currently, we are focused on FSC resin and all-in-one vapes. We are not pursuing distillate products at this stage, as we see it as a race to the bottom on price. (Margaret Brodie, CEO) Q: What are the supply-demand dynamics in international markets, particularly for premium products? A: There is a short-term parity in mainstream supply, but premium supply remains limited. We expect demand to outpace supply as new markets develop.

Organic growth in the US was slightly below expectations at 2.4%, attributed to project cycle timing and a tough comparison from the previous year. Despite strong performance, the company did not raise its guidance for 2025, citing the need to close acquisitions and assess Q2 results. There is some uncertainty in the US government business, with potential impacts on procurement cycles and contract renewals.

The company faces heightened market uncertainty due to tariffs, policy shifts, and regulatory changes, which could impact future performance. Q: In terms of organic growth for the US, you achieved 2.4%, which is slightly below the consolidated level. Is this due to tough comparisons from last year or are there current uncertainties in the US market?

However, they expect mid to high single-digit organic growth for the year, supported by a strong backlog. Q: Despite adding two acquisitions and nearly 1,600 people, why hasn't the guidance for 2025 been raised? A: Vito Culmone, EVP and CFO, stated that the base business is performing well, and the guidance remains unchanged due to the timing of acquisition closures.
