Non-GAAP Financial and Performance Measures
Curaleaf reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP and also uses certain non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to evaluate performance. These measures, which include "adjusted gross profit," "adjusted gross profit margin," "adjusted EBITDA," "adjusted EBITDA margin," and "free cash flow from operations," do not have standardized definitions under U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures used by other issuers.
Curaleaf defines these non-GAAP measures as follows:
Adjusted gross profit : gross profit net of related adjustments.
Adjusted gross profit margin : adjusted gross profit divided by total revenues, net.
Adjusted EBITDA : income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for share-based compensation expense and other adjustments related to restructuring costs, adult use campaign and political initiatives, as well as acquisition, transaction and other non-recurring costs.
Adjusted EBITDA margin : adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues, net.
Free cash flow from operations : net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations, net of purchases and disposals of property, plant and equipment for continuing operations.
Management believes these measures (i) provide investors with additional insight into Curaleaf's financial strength and underlying performance, (ii) align external reporting with how management evaluates results and (iii) facilitate comparisons with other issuers. These measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, U.S. GAAP results nor should they be considered as indicators of Curaleaf's future performance. Reconciliations to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures are provided in the accompanying tables.
Gross profit from continuing operations was $169.9 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared with $153.1 million in the prior-year period. On an adjusted basis, gross profit from continuing operations was $170.8 million compared with $154.1 million in the prior-year period, and adjusted gross profit margin from continuing operations was 50.2%, compared with 49.6% in the prior-year period, an increase of 60 basis points.
Gross profit from continuing operations was $327.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $308.7 million in the prior-year period. On an adjusted basis, gross profit from continuing operations was $327.9 million, compared with $309.9 million in the prior-year period, and adjusted gross profit margin from continuing operations was 49.4%, compared with 50.2% in the prior-year period, a decrease of (80) basis points.
