VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Village Farms International, Inc. (“Village Farms” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: VFF) today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025. All figures are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

Management Commentary

“Our fourth quarter results again delivered strong profitability, gross margin and cash flow from operations which contributed to record levels of performance for each of these metrics in 2025,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Michael DeGiglio. “Thanks to the tireless commitment and execution of our global team, this past year was a transformational one for Village Farms. We are continuing to benefit from multiple catalysts unlocking value for our stakeholders and believe we remain in an excellent position to continue profitably scaling our platform in 2026.”

“We grew global cannabis sales by 17% year-over-year despite just a partial year of contributions from our expanding Netherlands business, and international exports increased more than six-fold as we continue to capitalize on our leadership position among the world’s largest EU-GMP certified cannabis operators. We’ve set a higher standard for our Company on the global stage, and are continuing to invest behind our proven teams with enhancements to our operating capabilities.”

“Demand for our products continues to significantly outpace our current production capacity, and temporary supply constraints coupled with rapidly evolving global regulatory frameworks has created near-term variability in performance as we balance the complex needs of our diverse customer base. In response to higher demand, we are pleased to report that last week we began cultivation in the first half of our previously-announced Delta 2 expansion in Canada, and that this project remains on track to harvest an incremental 15 tonnes of production capacity during the remainder of this year.”

“Our first Netherlands facility continues to operate at full capacity with healthy margin performance, and we are in the process of scaling our local operating team there to support our Phase II facility in Groningen which remains on track for its first grow rooms to be planted at the end of Q1 with the full facility completed and planted by the end of Q2. Once fully ramped, we anticipate annual production capacity of approximately 10 tonnes in the Netherlands, where we continue to see a very strong pricing environment and are well positioned to capture market share in premium product categories.”

“We look to the remainder of 2026 with a growth mindset, and expect to maintain a balanced approach to capital allocation with prudent consideration of accretive organic and acquisitive investments and enhanced value creation for shareholders in the form of ongoing share repurchases. We believe our growth investments, strong net cash position, industry leading cost of capital, and continued solid execution from our teams position us for continued success in 2026 and beyond.”

Consolidated

• Consolidated net sales increased 9% to $49.6 million from $45.4 million;
• Consolidated net income from continuing operations improved to $2.3 million, or $0.02 per share, from a net loss from continuing operations of $7.5 million, or ($0.04) per share driven by a $10.5 million non-cash impairment charge in the prior-year period related to non-flower inventory purchased primarily from third parties that did not meet the Company’s quality standards;
• Consolidated net income, including non-controlling interests and before equity losses, was $2.4 million, or $0.02 per share compared to net loss, including non-controlling interests and before equity losses, of $8.6 million, or ($0.07) per share;

Canadian Cannabis

• International export sales increased 384%; retail branded sales flat year-over-year in line with expectations;
• Gross margin increased to 43% from 2%, driven by improvements in operating efficiency leading to lower costs of production, an increased mix of higher-margin sales, and the non-recurrence of a non-cash inventory impairment charge in the prior-year quarter;
• Net income improved to $5.4 million (C$7.5 million) from negative $6.6 million (-C$9.4 million);
• Adjusted EBITDA increased to $9.7 million (C$14.3 million) from negative $6.3 million (-C$9.1 million); and,

• Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was ($462 thousand) compared to adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations of $6.6 million which was the result of a legal settlement in the prior-year quarter.

• International export sales increased 384% year-over-year with demand from international customers continuing to meaningfully outpace current supply capabilities;
• We surpassed the high end of our targeted gross margin range of 30-40%, marking the fourth consecutive quarter meeting or exceeding the target range and contributing to record annual Adjusted EBITDA performance;
• Introduced several new and unique packaging innovations to the Canadian market, including the launch of a one-way aroma valve built directly into its dried flower packaging, windowed packaging for its flower products which enables consumers to see product before purchase, and a proprietary built-in matchbox accessory for its pre-roll offerings to meet growing demand for ready-to-enjoy cannabis experiences;
• Named the winner of Business Vancouver's (BIV) 2026 BC Export Awards in the Consumer Products category, recognizing our exceptional performance and contribution to British Columbia's growing international trade economy;

• During the fourth quarter, started the expansion of cultivation capacity in the remaining half of its Delta 2 greenhouse to meet increasing demand in Canadian and our international export markets. Once completed and operating at full capacity, the expansion is expected to yield an incremental 40 tonnes of annualized cannabis production, expanding capacity by approximately 33% once completed.
