PHOENIX, March 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TILT Holdings Inc. ("TILT" or the "Company") (Cboe CA: TILT) (OTCQB: TLLTF), a global provider of cannabis business solutions including inhalation technologies, cultivation, manufacturing, processing, brand development and retail, is reporting its financial and operating results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024. All financial information is reported in U.S. dollars and prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") unless otherwise indicated.
"2024 was a transformative year for TILT, as we took deliberate steps to streamline our business and sharpen our focus on Jupiter," said TILT's Chief Executive Officer, Tim Conder. "With the divestiture of our Massachusetts retail assets now underway, and a path toward exiting our remaining plant-touching operations, we are positioning TILT to emerge as a more agile, focused organization. This shift will allow us to unlock Jupiter's full potential, expand our presence into new markets, and improve access to capital and financing opportunities.
"At Jupiter, we are making critical organizational enhancements, including leadership changes and operational improvements, which are essential to driving our business forward. The addition of experienced executives like Ken Yuan and Khalid Al Naser is key to this transformation as we enhance and expand our product portfolio and develop new proprietary hardware solutions tailored to today's evolving consumer and regulatory landscape."
Conder added, "Our work is far from over, but we are making important progress, as we break down and rebuild. Through all the challenges we have faced, our resilience has been a key strength. As we look ahead to 2025, we must remain focused and disciplined to achieve our strategic goals."
Q4 2024 Financial Summary
- Revenue was $24.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $37.5 million in the prior year period. The decrease in revenue was primarily driven by the Company's Jupiter Hardware business.
- Gross profit was $5.3 million and gross margin was 22% in the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $3.6 million or 10% of revenue in the prior year period. The increase in gross profit and margin was primarily driven by the Company's transition to a commission-based model for certain Jupiter customers.
- Net loss was $41.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to a net loss of $22.0 million in the prior year period. The increase in net loss for the fourth quarter was attributed to intangible asset impairments and fair value measurements.
- Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was $0.5 million in the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $(1.6) million in the prior year period driven by gross margin and cash operating expense improvements.
- Cash used in operating activities in the fourth quarter was $0.5 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of $4.0 million for the year-ago period.
- At December 31, 2024, the Company had $4.3 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash compared to $3.3 million at December 31, 2023.
Q4 2024 & Recent Operational Highlights
- Announced a definitive agreement to sell Massachusetts retail locations to In Good Health for $2 million, with regulatory approvals expected in Q2 2025.

- Gross Profit was $20.1 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, or approximately 17% of revenue, compared to $24.4 million or 15% of revenue in the prior year.
- Net loss was $99.7 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, compared to a net loss of $62.4 million in the prior year. The increase in net loss was primarily driven by an increase in operating expenses predominantly due to increased non-cash impairment loss.
- Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was a loss of $2.2 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $2.1 million in the prior year.
- Cash used in operating activities was $0.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $5.4 million in the prior year.

Forward-looking information is provided for the purpose of presenting information about TILT management's current expectations and plans relating to the future and readers are cautioned that such statements may not be appropriate for other purposes. Forward-looking information may include, without limitation, outcome of the Company's strategic review of plant touching assets, expected completion and timeline of divestitures of plant-touching assets, increased focus and growth of Jupiter in relation to any potential divestiture of the plan touching assets, advanced certification of the medical devices in Europe with expectations for the second quarter and related expansion of sales, strengthening of TILT's balance sheet, TILT's beliefs about working through the leadership transition, expectations relating to the impact of the leadership change on TILT's operations, TILT's expectations on reductions in corporate overhead and headcount and re-alignment of its business, TILT's business strategy and growth opportunities, the opinions or beliefs of management, prospects, opportunities, priorities, targets, goals, ongoing objectives, milestones, strategies, and outlook of TILT, and includes statements about, among other things, future developments, the future operations, strengths and strategy of TILT. Generally, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "plans", "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "will", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", or "believes", or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will be taken", "occur" or "be achieved". These statements should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results. These statements are based upon certain material factors, assumptions and analyses that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making a forecast or projection, including TILT's experience and perceptions of historical trends, the ability of TILT to maximize shareholder value, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances.
Although such statements are based on management's reasonable assumptions at the date such statements are made, there can be no assurance that such forward-looking information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking information. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking information. TILT assumes no responsibility to update or revise forward-looking information to reflect new events or circumstances unless required by applicable law.
By its nature, forward-looking information is subject to risks and uncertainties, and there are a variety of risk factors, many of which are beyond the control of TILT, and that may cause actual outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking information. Such risk factors include, but are not limited to, TILT's ability to find a permanent successor executive, the impact of the announcement of the leadership change on TILT's stock, performance, operations, results of operations, employees, suppliers and customers, TILT's ability to successfully work through the leadership transition, TILT's ability to execute on its business optimization strategy, capital preservation and cash generation, and reductions in corporate overhead and headcount and re-alignment of its business and those risks described under the heading "Item 1A Risk Factors" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and "Item 1A Risk Factors" in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 and other subsequent reports filed by TILT with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov and on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
Non-GAAP Financial and Performance Measures
In addition to providing financial measurements based on GAAP, the Company provides additional financial metrics that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision making, for planning and forecasting purposes and to evaluate the Company's financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect the Company's ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the business, as they facilitate comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies. Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enable investors to evaluate the Company's operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management. These non-GAAP financial measures may also exclude expenses and gains that may be unusual in nature, infrequent or not reflective of the Company's ongoing operating results.
As there are no standardized methods of calculating these non-GAAP measures, the Company's methods may differ from those used by others, and accordingly, the use of these measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures used by others.
Accordingly, these non-GAAP measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are financial measures that are not defined under GAAP. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures, and believes they enhance an investor's understanding of the Company's financial and operating performance from period to period, because they exclude certain material non-cash items and certain other adjustments management believes are not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations and performance. EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA net income (loss), plus (minus) income taxes (recovery), plus (minus) finance expense (income), plus depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA excluding certain one-time, non-cash or non-operating expenses, as determined by management, including stock compensation expense, debt issuance costs and severance.
