Las Vegas, Nevada – March 26, 2025 – Planet 13 Holdings Inc. (CSE: PLTH) (OTCQX: PLNH) (“Planet 13” or the “Company”), a leading vertically-integrated cannabis company, today announced its financial results for the three-month and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2024. Planet 13’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).

Financial Highlights – Q4 – 2024

Operating Results

All comparisons below are to the quarter ended December 31, 2023, unless otherwise noted

	●	Revenues were $30.3 million as compared to $23.0 million, an increase of 31.8%. The increase in revenue was driven by the addition of Florida.
	●	Gross profit was $13.1 million or 43.2% as compared to $11.0 million or 47.8%. The decline in gross margin was driven by industry wide price compression and targeted discounting in Florida.
	●	Operating expenses were $35.8 million, including $18.9 million in non-cash impairment loss as compared to $18.1 million, an increase of 97.5%
	●	Net loss of $26.4 million, including $18.9 million in non-cash impairment loss as compared to a net loss of $14.3 million
	●	Adjusted EBITDA of $0.0 million as compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $1.3 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin was lower due to lower gross margin performance.

Financial Highlights – Full Year 2024

Operating Results

All comparisons below are to the full year ended December 31, 2023, unless otherwise noted

	●	Revenues were $116.4 million as compared to $98.5 million, an increase of 18.2%. The increase in revenue was driven by the addition of Florida.
	●	Gross profit was $56.1 million or 48.2% as compared to $44.8 million or 45.5%. Gross margin increased due to the addition of higher margin revenue from Florida, that more than offset the impact of price compression for the full year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

There are financial measures included in this press release that are not in accordance with GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures and metrics presented by other publicly traded companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as supplemental to, and not a substitute for, our reported financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company includes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because it believes certain investors use these measures and metrics as a means of assessing financial performance. EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA before share-based compensation, the change in fair value of warrants and one-time non-recurring expenses.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods presented:
