(NASDAQ: SNDL) (CSE: SNDL) ("SNDL" or the "Company") reported itsfinancial and operational results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. All financial information in this press release isreported in millions of Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated. SNDL has also posted a supplemental investor presentation on its website, found at https://sndl.com.

MANAGEMENT HIGHLIGHTS • Net revenue: In the second quarter of 2025, net revenue totaled $244.8 million, reflecting a growth rate of +7.3% compared tothe same period in the previous year. This increase was primarily driven by strong growth of +17.4% in our combinedCannabis business, as well as return to growth in our Liquor retail segment. • Gross profit: Gross profit for the second quarter of 2025 reached $67.6 million, representing a +16.2% increase compared tothe same period in the prior year. • Gross margin (1): The gross margin in the second quarter of 2025 was 27.6%, in line with the record achieved in the firstquarter. This represented an improvement of +2.1 percentage points year-over-year. • Operating Income: The Company delivered positive operating income in the second quarter of 2025, totaling $5.0 million. Thisfigure includes a $(0.8) million restructuring charge, resulting in an adjusted operating income of $5.8 million. • Cash flow: Cash flow was negative by $(12.6) million during the second quarter of 2025. This was primarily driven by workingcapital and CAPEX investments, an additional $3.8 million in net outflows related to long-term investments, and a $1.0 milliondeposit related to the 1CM acquisition. • Free cash flow (1): Free cash flow in the second quarter of 2025 was negative at $(7.9) million, as the strong P&Lperformance was more than offset by working capital investments to support international growth in the second half of theyear, annual payments related to incentive programs and insurance premiums, as well as capital expenditures for future storeopenings. "Achieving positive quarterly operating income and net earnings across both metrics for the first time in the Company's historyduring Q2 2025 marks a pivotal milestone and underscores the effectiveness of our strategic improvement agenda. We experienced growth across all operating segments during the quarter, led by a Cannabis business that expanded at almost threetimes the rate of the Canadian recreational market, and a Liquor Retail segment that is successfully adapting to shifting consumerpreferences. Notably, our Liquor Retail segment delivered same-store sales growth of 2.7% and higher net revenue despite runningwith five fewer stores compared to the same period last year. Our operational rigor and focus on execution have driven significant gross margin expansion across all business units, whiledisciplined cost management contributed to a $5 million absolute reduction in G&A costs (including share-based compensation)year-over-year. This strong performance gives us the confidence to continue investing in our business and people, affirming that we are on the pathto delivering sustainable, long-term value to our shareholders." said Zach George, Chief Executive Officer of SNDL. Delivering consistent financial performance improvements and reliability is core to our mission at SNDL, as we remain focused onlong-term value creation and the execution of our strategic roadmap. In this context, during the second quarter of 2025 we advancedseveral strategic initiatives, including: • Entered into an arrangement agreement to acquire 32 cannabis retail stores from 1CM Inc. ("1CM") for a total cashconsideration of $32.2 million, with the transaction expected to close during the third quarter of 2025. • Launched the Rise Rewards loyalty program, a highly anticipated initiative designed to offer Value Buds customers greatersavings, rewards, and convenience. SNDL intends to expand the program across all retail banners in the future. • Approved investments of $9.5 million in CAPEX and working capital to organically expand both our Cannabis and Liquor retailfootprints, with store openings planned during the next 9 months • Initiated a formal strategic review to evaluate SNDL's exposure to U.S. multi-state licensed cannabis enterprises and itscurrent exchange listings - an important step in aligning our platform with future regulatory and market opportunities.
