Item 1. Financial Statements
Forward Looking Statement
As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms “Village Farms”, “Village Farms International”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our” and similar references refer to Village Farms International, Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries, and the term “Common Shares” refers to our common shares, no par value. Our financial information is presented in U.S. dollars and all references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “$” means U.S. dollars and all references to “C$” means Canadian dollars.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and is subject to the safe harbor created by those sections. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q also contains “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities law. We refer to such forward-looking statements and forward-looking information collectively as “forward-looking statements”. Forward-looking statements may relate to the Company’s future outlook or financial position and anticipated events or results and may include statements regarding the financial position, business strategy, budgets, expansion plans, litigation, projected production, projected costs, capital expenditures, financial results, taxes, plans and objectives of or involving the Company. Particularly, statements regarding future results, performance, achievements, prospects or opportunities for the Company, the greenhouse vegetable industry or the cannabis industry are forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking information can be identified by such terms as “outlook”, “may”, “might”, “will”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “occur”, “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “intend”, “try”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential”, “continue”, “likely”, “schedule”, “objectives”, or the negative or grammatical variation thereof or other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are subject to risks that may include, but are not limited to: our limited operating history, including that of Pure Sunfarms and our operations of growing hemp in the United States; the legal status of Pure Sunfarms cannabis business; risks relating to obtaining additional financing, including our dependence upon credit facilities; potential difficulties in achieving and/or maintaining profitability; variability of product pricing; risks inherent in the cannabis, hemp and agricultural businesses; the ability of Pure Sunfarms to cultivate and distribute cannabis in Canada; existing and new governmental regulations, including risks related to regulatory compliance and licenses (e.g., Pure Sunfarms ability to maintain licenses for its Delta 2 and Delta 3 greenhouse facilities under the Canadian act respecting cannabis to amend to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, the Criminal Code and other Acts, S.C. 2018, c. 16 (Canada)), and changes in our regulatory requirements; risks relating to conversion of our greenhouses to cannabis production for Pure Sunfarms; risks related to rules and regulations at the U.S. federal (including Food and Drug Administration and United States Department of Agriculture), state and municipal levels with respect to produce and hemp; retail consolidation, technological advances and other forms of competition; transportation disruptions; product liability and other potential litigation; retention of key executives; labor issues; uninsured and underinsured losses; vulnerability to rising energy costs; environmental, health and safety risks, foreign exchange exposure, risks associated with cross-border trade; difficulties in managing our growth; restrictive covenants under our credit facilities; natural catastrophes; the ongoing and developing COVID-19 pandemic; and tax risks.
The Company has based these forward-looking statements on factors and assumptions about future events and financial trends that it believes may affect its financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based upon assumptions that management believes are reasonable based on information currently available to management, there can be no assurance that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements necessarily involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, that may cause the Company’s or the industry’s actual results, performance, achievements, prospects and opportunities in future periods to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, the factors contained in the Company’s filings with securities regulators, including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In particular, we caution you that our forward-looking statements are subject to the ongoing and developing circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, operations and future financial results.
When relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions, the Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on these statements, as forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties and should not be read as guarantees of future results, performance, achievements, prospects and opportunities. The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

They do not include all information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are subject to seasonal variations and accordingly are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to debt instruments, derivatives, and other contracts that reference LIBOR or other reference rates expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform. This guidance is optional and may be elected through December 31, 2022 using a prospective application on all eligible contract modifications. The Company has a line of credit that incorporates LIBOR as a referenced interest rate. It is difficult to predict what effect, if any, the phase-out of LIBOR and the use of alternative benchmarks may have on the Company’s business or on the overall financial markets. The Company has not adopted any of the optional expedients or exceptions through June 30, 2022 but will continue to evaluate the possible adoption of any such expedients or exceptions.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS |
As of June 30, 2022, the Company recognized macroeconomic challenges in the U.S. CBD market, including a decrease in market capitalization of CBD companies and transaction multiplies. Based on those qualitative factors, the Company concluded that its U.S. Cannabis segment more likely than not was impaired and tested that segment’s assets, including goodwill and intangible assets for impairment.
The U.S. Cannabis segment’s net working capital assets are readily monetized and therefore book value is deemed to represent its fair value. It’s ROU asset and associated liability are primarily based on the lease arrangement and the incremental borrowing rate and deemed to represent fair value. Brand was tested using a relief from royalty method, using a pre-tax royalty rate of 4% and brand maintenance of 2.45%. In assessing goodwill, the Company used a market based approach using a multiple of 1.6x revenue.
The tests resulted in the Company recognizing impairment charges to goodwill of ($25,169) and its brand intangible asset of ($4,630).

Rose Acquisition
On November 15, 2021, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with Rose and other parties, including the shareholders of Rose (collectively, the “Rose Sellers”), for the acquisition of a 70% interest in Rose pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement (the “Acquisition”), for a total purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) of C$46.7 million, comprised of a cash purchase price of C$19.9 million and a total of 2,411,280 Common Shares of Village Farms (“Village Farms Shares”), subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The Village Farms Shares issued under the Purchase Agreement are subject to lock-up agreements, and subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, 33% of these shares will be released from lock-up restrictions four (4) months following the Closing Date, another 33% of these shares will be released from lock-up restrictions eight (8) months after the Closing Date and the remaining shares will be released from lock-up restrictions one (1) year after the Closing Date.

(In thousands of United States dollars, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company filed a prospectus supplement under our existing shelf registration statement on March 15, 2022 to register for resale all of the Village Farms Shares issued to the Rose Sellers on the Closing Date.
Put/Call Option
Two of the co-founders of Rose (the “Management Shareholders”), who were among the Rose Sellers of Rose in the Acquisition, have remained in their current roles with Rose post-Acquisition and have retained a non-voting 30% interest in Rose (the “Retained Interest”). In conjunction with the Acquisition, Village Farms and the Management Shareholders have entered into a unanimous shareholders agreement (the “USA”) providing Village Farms with a call option to acquire the Retained Interest between December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025 or upon the occurrence of certain liquidity events with respect to Village Farms (the “Call Option”). As part of the Call Option, Village Farms can also acquire 34% of the Retained Interest between December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023. A put right has also been granted to the Management Shareholders to require Village Farms to complete the acquisition of the Retained Interest upon their death or disability or the occurrence of certain liquidity events with respect to Village Farms (the “Put Option”, and together with the Call Option, the “Put/Call Option”). The price for the Put/Call Option was set at a multiple solely based on Rose’s adjusted EBITDA performance of the applicable prior calendar year. If exercised upon a liquidity event, the Option Price is subject to a minimum amount which varies depending on the year on which it is exercised.
The consideration for the acquisition of the Retained Interest may, at Village Farms’ sole discretion, be payable solely in cash or in a pre-determined combination of cash and Village Farms Shares based on a formula similar to that used for the issuance of the Village Farms Shares comprising part of the Purchase Price.
Based upon preliminary estimates, the Company identified goodwill of $34,548 and a redeemable NCI classified as temporary mezzanine equity of $16,479. The goodwill has been allocated to the Canadian Cannabis reporting segment. The Company expects to recognize intangible assets but is still in the process of identifying and valuing them as well as the fair value of the Put Option identified and classified as redeemable non-controlling interest. The Company expects the accounting for the business combination to be complete by September 30, 2022.

Village Farms acquired 70% ownership of privately-held, Quebec-based Rose LifeScience on November 15, 2021 and acquired a 100% interest in privately held Colorado-based Balanced Health on August 16, 2021.
The Company’s overall strategy is to be recognized as an international leader in consumer products from plants, whereby we produce and market value-added products that are consistently preferred by consumers. To do so, we leverage decades of cultivation expertise, investment, and experience in fresh produce (primarily tomatoes) across other plant-based opportunities. In Canada, we converted two produce facilities to grow cannabis for the Canadian adult use market. Our focus for our Canadian Cannabis segment is to produce the highest quality cannabis, leveraging our low-cost production to provide products that address the largest consumer segments in the market. This market position, together with our cultivation expertise, has enabled us to evolve into one of the few consistently profitable Canadian licensed producers (“LPs”) under our Pure Sunfarms subsidiary.
Additionally, through organic growth, acquisitions and/or exports, we plan to participate in other international markets where cannabis attains legal status. In March 2022, Pure Sunfarms received European Union Good Manufacturing Practice (“EU GMP”) certification for its 1.1 million square foot Delta 3 cannabis facility located in Delta, British Columbia (“B.C.”) which permits Pure Sunfarms to export EU GMP-certified medical cannabis to importers and distributors in international markets that require EU GMP certification. We expect international expansion should enhance our profitability while expanding our brand and experience into emerging new legal cannabis markets.
Within the U.S., we acquired Balanced Health, an industry-leading cannabinoid business which extends our portfolio into cannabidiol (“CBD”) consumer products. We also operate a large, well-established produce business under the Village Farms Fresh (“VF Fresh”) brand which sells into food and mass retail stores. We own and operate produce cultivation assets in both B.C. and Texas and source produce from our growing partners, predominantly in Mexico. Our intention is to use our assets, expertise and experience (across cannabis, CBD and produce) to participate in the U.S. Cannabis market when legally permitted to do so.
Our Operating Segments
Canadian Cannabis Segment
Village Farms’ Canadian Cannabis segment includes Pure Sunfarms and Rose LifeScience.
Pure Sunfarms is one of the single largest cannabis growing operations in the world, one of the lowest-cost greenhouse producers and one of the best-selling flower brands in Canada. Pure Sunfarms leverages our 30 years of experience as a vertically integrated greenhouse grower for the rapidly developing cannabis opportunity in Canada with commercial distribution in ten Canadian provinces and territories that represent 98% of total Canadian legal recreational cannabis sales. Our long-term objective for Pure Sunfarms is to be the leading low-cost, high-quality cannabis producer in Canada.
Village Farms acquired 70% ownership of privately-held Rose LifeScience on November 15, 2021. Rose is a leading LP of cannabis in the Province of Quebec as well as a prominent third-party cannabis products commercialization expert in Quebec, acting as the exclusive, direct-to-retail sales, marketing and distribution entity for some of the best-known brands in Canada as well as Quebec-based micro and craft growers.
16
U.S. Cannabis Segment
Village Farms’ U.S. Cannabis segment includes Balanced Health and VF Hemp.
On August 16, 2021, the Company acquired 100% interest in privately held Colorado-based Balanced Health. Balanced Health is one of the leading cannabinoid brands and e-commerce platforms in the United States. Balanced Health develops and sells high-quality CBD-based health and wellness products, distributing their diverse portfolio of consumer products through retail storefronts and its top-ranked e-commerce platform, CBDistilleryTM.
The Company entered the U.S. hemp business in the spring of 2019 after the passing of the 2018 Farm Bill. We established a joint venture with a 65% interest in VF Hemp for multi-state outdoor hemp cultivation and cannabidiol extraction. During the second quarter of 2022, VF Hemp wrote off the remaining hemp inventory and subsequently, the Company wrote off the remaining balance of its loan to VF Hemp. Currently, VF Hemp is not cultivating hemp as we await FDA clarity on the use of CBD.
Produce Segment – VF Fresh
Through our Village Farms Fresh brand, we are growers, marketers and distributors of premium-quality, greenhouse-grown tomatoes and cucumbers in North America. These premium products are grown in sophisticated, highly intensive agricultural greenhouse facilities located in B.C. and Texas. The Company also markets and distributes premium tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers produced under exclusive arrangements with other greenhouse producers located primarily in Mexico, B.C. and Ontario. The Company primarily markets and distributes under its Village Farms® brand name to retail supermarkets and dedicated fresh food distribution companies throughout the United States and Canada.
Clean Energy Segment
Through our subsidiary VF Clean Energy, Inc., we owned and operated a power plant from landfill gas that generated electricity and provided thermal heat, in colder months, to one of the Company’s adjacent British Columbia greenhouse facilities and sold electricity to the British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority. As of April 30, 2022, VFCE has shut down its power plant in preparation for the transition to a Renewable Natural Gas (“RNG”) operation in conjunction with Mas Energy, LLC (“the Delta RNG Project), which we believe will enhance our financial return, as well as provide food-grade CO2 that can be used in both our cannabis and produce growing operations in Delta, B.C.
The Delta RNG Project consists of a partnership with Mas Energy to convert the current landfill gas to electricity business into a state-of-the-art landfill gas to high-demand renewable natural gas facility, which was entered into in November 2020 by VFCE. Mas Energy will design, build, finance, own and operate the Delta RNG Project. VFCE renewed and extended the existing contract with the City of Vancouver to capture the landfill gas at its Delta, B.C. site securing future resources for the Delta RNG Project. The 20-year extension, with an option for an additional five-year extension period, commences upon the start-up of the commercial operations of the Delta RNG Project.
The project is designed to generate renewable natural gas and CO2 from the methane gas created at the nearby landfill. Village Farms plans to utilize the CO2 from the renewable natural gas production process for use in our three Delta, B.C. vegetable and cannabis greenhouse facilities, thereby reducing natural gas requirements and decreasing the total carbon footprint of Village Farms. Mas Energy intends to sell the renewable natural gas and VFCE will receive a portion of the revenues in the form of a royalty. For additional detail, see “Recent Developments and Updates – Delta RNG Project” below.
Impact of Inflation and the Russia/Ukraine Conflict
Our business has been affected, and we expect will continue to be affected for the foreseeable future, by rising inflation and supply chain issues arising from COVID-19, and indirectly, the Russia/Ukraine conflict may impact the price of oil and natural gas which may negatively affect our operating results. Inflation has affected and continues to affect, amongst other items, supply chain and labor costs as well as purchasing decisions of consumers which may impact demand for our products. See Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors”, in the Quarterly Report ended March 31, 2022.
Our Response to the Ongoing Coronavirus Pandemic
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus a global pandemic. This outbreak continues to cause major disruptions to businesses and markets worldwide as the virus continues to spread. Several countries as well as certain states and cities within the United States and Canada have enacted temporary closures of businesses, issued quarantine or shelter-in-place orders and taken other restrictive measures. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company implemented safety protocols and procedures to protect its employees, its subcontractors, and its customers. These protocols take into consideration guidance from state and local government agencies as well as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other public health authorities.
17
As of August 9, 2022, all of the Company’s operations are operating normally, however, the extent to which COVID-19 and the related global economic crisis affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and any recovery period, future actions taken by governmental authorities, central banks and other third parties (including new financial regulation and other regulatory reform) in response to the pandemic, and the effects on our produce, clients, vendors and employees. Village Farms continues to service its customers amid uncertainty and disruption linked to COVID-19 and is actively managing its business to respond to the impact.
Recent Developments and Updates
Leli Holland B.V. Update
On July 7, 2022, Netherlands-based Leli Holland B.V. (“Leli”) was awarded the tenth and final cultivation license for the Closed Cannabis Supply Chain Experiment (“Dutch Supply Chain Experiment”). On July 19, 2022, Village Farms acquired 85% of Leli under its previously announced purchase option agreement for $4,568 (EUR4,250), which was paid for as described below. As a result of the option exercise, Village Farms will directly participate as a cultivator and distributor in the Netherlands, the first major European country to launch an experimental program on the path towards adult-use legalization. Since the Company exercised the option, the Company will be the majority owner of Leli and as such, Village Farms is responsible for the development of the project and product commercialization throughout the fully vertically integrated business model.
On March 18, 2022, the Company loaned $2,715 (EUR2,575) to L.L. Lichtendahl Beheer B.V so that L.L. Lichtendahl Beheer B.V. could purchase 100% of Leli. On July 19, 2022, the loan converted to a payment from the Company to L.L. Lichtendahl Beheer B.V. In addition, on July 19, 2022, a payment in the amount of $1,795 (EUR1,625) was released from escrow and paid to L.L. Lichtendahl Beheer B.V. as part of the compensation for 85% ownership of Leli. On September 28, 2021, Village Farms paid $58 (EUR50) to enter into an option agreement whereby the Company received the irrevocable right to acquire an interest in Leli.
Leli is one of ten applicants selected to receive a license to legally cultivate and distribute cannabis to retailers when the Dutch government implements its Dutch Supply Chain Experiment. The Dutch Supply Chain Experiment is currently in its preparatory phase of the program which began in July 2020. The Dutch Supply Chain Experiment is specified by the Dutch government to be approximately 65,000 kilograms of dried flower annually from the ten approved producers during the first year. Leli and Village Farms plan to construct two indoor CEA production facilities, leveraging Leli’s track record managing complex regulatory and approval procedures in the Netherlands at both the federal and local levels and Village Farms’ three-plus decades as a vertically integrated CEA grower, as well as its extensive experience in cultivation, product development and commercialization in the Canadian legal recreational cannabis market. The actual experiment is anticipated to begin by mid-2023, however, the Dutch Supply Chain Experiment continues to experience delays as the program moves from the preparatory phase to the transitioning phase whereby participating coffeeshops will begin selling both regulated and tolerated cannabis.
Village Farms named to Corporate Knights’ inaugural Future 50: The Fastest Growing Sustainable Companies in Canada

Delta RNG Project Update
When announced in November 2020, we had originally anticipated attaining all regulatory approvals in the first half of 2021 with an expected operational start up as early as the first half of 2022. However, COVID-19 adversely impacted the bureaucratic approval processes in Canada surrounding permitting and zoning requirements necessary to break ground on the Delta RNG Project. As a result. we did not attain all of the regulatory approvals for the Delta RNG Project until the first half of 2022. Accordingly, Mas Energy has begun construction during the latter part of the second quarter of 2022 and we currently expect an operational start up in mid-2023.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized earnings measure and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of the Company because it excludes non-recuring and other items that do not reflect our business performance. Adjusted EBITDA includes the Company’s 70% interest in Rose LifeScience since acquisition and 65% interest in VFH. |
We caution that our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 may not be indicative of our future performance, particularly in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We are currently unable to assess the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and our results of operations for future periods.
Discussion of Financial Results
A discussion of our consolidated results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 is included below. The consolidated results include all four of our operating segments, VF Fresh (Produce), Canadian Cannabis, U.S. Cannabis and Clean Energy, along with all public company expenses. Village Farms acquired 100% of Balanced Health on August 16, 2021 and their operating results are consolidated in our Consolidated Statements of Loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company acquired 70% of Rose LifeScience on November 15, 2021 and their operating results are consolidated in our Consolidated Statements of Loss and the minority interest is presented in Net Loss Attributable to Non-controlling Interests, Net of Tax for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. For a discussion of our segmented results, please see “Segmented Results of Operations” below.
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2021
Sales
Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were $82,903 as compared to $70,374 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in sales of $12,529 or 18% was attributable to the inclusion of Balanced Health and Rose LifeScience in our 2022
20
results as well as revenue growth in our key operating segments: VF Fresh, Canadian Cannabis and U.S. Cannabis. VF Fresh’s sales increased $1,780, Canadian Cannabis increased $5,032 and U.S. Cannabis increased $5,793 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were $76,580 as compared to $65,109 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in cost of sales of ($11,471) or (18%) was attributable to the inclusion of Balanced Health and Rose LifeScience in our 2022 results as well as revenue growth in our key operating segments along with inflationary effects on supply chain costs, labor and freight expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, the cost of sales for VF Fresh increased ($7,025), Canadian Cannabis increased ($3,344) and U.S. Cannabis increased ($1,956). For the Clean Energy segment, cost of sales decreased $854 as Clean Energy shut down its power plant on April 30, 2022 in preparation for the transition to renewable natural gas operations.
Gross Margin
Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased $1,058 to $6,323, or an 8% gross margin, in comparison to $5,265, or a 7% gross margin, for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The positive variance between periods is primarily attributable to a higher gross margin from U.S. Cannabis of $3,837, Canadian Cannabis of $1,688 and Clean Energy of $778, partially offset by lower gross margin from our produce operations of ($5,245).
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased $8,377 to $17,402 or 21% of sales compared to $9,025 or 13% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the acquisition of Balanced Health and Rose LifeScience and the inclusion of their respective expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022. In addition, Corporate expenses increased $271 due to costs associated with our Leli development team and an increase in audit, regulatory and compliance fees in the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Share-Based Compensation
Share-based compensation expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were $1,114 as compared to $1,887 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in share-based compensation was primarily due to the vesting of performance shares earned by key corporate and operations employees in Q2 2021 as compared to Q2 2022.
Write-off of Joint Venture Loan
The write-off of joint venture loan for the three months ended June 30, 2022 of ($592) was due to the write down of VF Hemp inventory during the quarter (as described below) which subsequently led to the Company writing off its remaining loan balance to VF Hemp.
Impairments
The impairments on our goodwill and intangible assets for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was ($29,799). The Company considered qualitative factors in assessing impairment indicators and concluded at June 30, 2022, an impairment trigger existed. The impact to goodwill of ($25,159) and intangible assets of ($4,630) were triggered by macroeconomic challenges, decreases in market capitalization of CBD companies and the continued federal regulation lack of clarity with respect to CBD. We evaluated forecasts of our U.S. Cannabis business segment and a reduction in market transaction multiples for CBD companies in our valuation and impairment conclusions. See Part 1, Item 1 Note 6 “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” for additional details.
Loss from Equity Method Investments
The loss from equity method investments for the three months ended June 30, 2022 of ($2,615) was due to losses from VF Hemp and consisted primarily of the write down of VF Hemp inventory during the quarter. VF Hemp is not currently cultivating hemp as we await FDA clarity on the use of CBD.
Net Loss Attributable to Village Farms International Inc.
Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was ($36,555) as compared to ($4,517) for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in net loss was primarily due to lower operating profit from VF Fresh and Canadian Cannabis, impairments on goodwill and intangible assets along with the losses attributable to VF Hemp for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to June 30, 2021.
21
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was ($10,308) compared to $1,547 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower operating results of VF Fresh and Canadian Cannabis.

The cost of sales increase was attributable to increases in our produce costs of ($17,066), higher produce supply partner costs of ($1,329), U.S. Cannabis cost of sales of ($4,287) and higher Canadian Cannabis costs of ($355), partially offset by lower Clean Energy costs of $1,403. The 2022 cost of sales for Pure Sunfarms includes a $3,815 positive adjustment and the 2021 cost of sales for Pure Sunfarms includes a ($3,058) charge from the revaluation of its inventory to fair value at acquisition date and our 2021 produce costs include incremental utility charges of ($1,400) associated with the Texas freeze of February 2021. The decrease in Clean Energy costs were driven by higher depreciation charges in 2021 as the depreciable life of VFCE assets have been accelerated due to the upcoming transition of operations to the Delta RNG Project expected to become operational in mid-2023.
Gross Margin
Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $8,655 to $16,227, or an 11% gross margin, in comparison to $7,572, or a 6% gross margin, for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Excluding the $3,815 positive adjustment from the revaluation of Pure Sunfarms’ inventory to fair value at acquisition date, gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $12,412, or 8% gross margin. Excluding the ($3,058) charge from the revaluation of Pure Sunfarms’ inventory to fair value at acquisition date and ($1,400) from the incremental Texas freeze utility expenses, gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $12,030, or a 10% gross margin. The year-over-year increase in gross margin of $8,655 was primarily due to increases in gross margin for Canadian Cannabis of $8,986, U.S. Cannabis of $8,549 and Clean Energy of $1,253, partially offset by lower VF Fresh gross margin of ($10,133).
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $17,256 to $34,373 or 22% of sales compared to $17,117 or 14% of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the acquisition and inclusion of U.S. Cannabis expenses in 2022 of $8,558 and higher Canadian Cannabis expenses of $6,994 due to the acquisition of Rose along with higher planned incremental investment in headcount, marketing, regulatory fees and IT services to support the growth of the Canadian Cannabis business. In addition, the year-over-year selling, general and administrative expenses of VF Fresh increased $451 primarily due to legal and audit fees and Corporate expenses increased $1,298 due to 2022 costs associated with the start-up of Leli and our development team and an increase in compensation, audit, regulatory and compliance fees.
Share-Based Compensation
Share-based compensation expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were $2,078 as compared to $3,885 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in share-based compensation was primarily due to the vesting of performance shares earned by key operations employees in Q1 2021 and no performance shares earned in 2022.
Write-off of Joint Venture Loan
The write-off of joint venture loan for the six months ended June 30, 2022 of ($592) was due to the write down of VF Hemp inventory during the quarter which subsequently led to the Company writing off its remaining loan balance to VF Hemp.
Impairments
The impairments on our goodwill and intangible assets for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was ($29,799). The Company considered qualitative factors in assessing impairment indicators and concluded at June 30, 2022, an impairment trigger existed. The impact to goodwill of ($25,159) and intangible assets of ($4,630) were triggered by macroeconomic challenges, decreases in market
22
capitalization of CBD companies and the continued federal regulation lack of clarity with respect to CBD. We evaluated forecasts of our U.S. Cannabis business segment and a reduction in market transaction multiples for CBD companies in our valuation and impairment conclusions. See Part 1, Item 1 Note 6 “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” for additional details.
Loss from Equity Method Investments
The loss from equity method investments for the six months ended June 30, 2022 of ($2,667) was due primarily to losses from VF Hemp and consisted primarily of the write down of VF Hemp inventory during the second quarter. VF Hemp is not currently cultivating hemp as we await FDA clarity on the use of CBD.
Net Loss Attributable to Village Farms International Inc.
Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was ($43,072) as compared to ($11,899) for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to June 30, 2021 was primarily due to impairments on goodwill and intangible assets, lower operating profit of the produce operations and the loss from VF Hemp, partially offset by higher operating profit of the Canadian Cannabis business.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was ($16,419) compared to $1,951 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower operating results from our produce business, the loss incurred by VF Hemp and a lower contribution of Adjusted EBITDA from Canadian Cannabis due to the effect of the purchase price inventory adjustments on the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. See the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income in “Non-GAAP Measures—Reconciliation of Net Earnings to Adjusted EBITDA”.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized earnings measure and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of the Company because it excludes non-recuring and other items that do not reflect our business performance. Adjusted EBITDA includes the Company’s 70% interest in Rose LifeScience since acquisition and 65% interest in VFH. |
CANNABIS SEGMENT RESULTS - CANADA
The Canadian Cannabis segment currently consists of Pure Sunfarms and Rose LifeScience. The comparative analysis for Canadian Cannabis is based on the consolidated results of Pure Sunfarms and Rose LifeScience for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and the results of Pure Sunfarms for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company acquired 70% of Rose LifeScience on November 15, 2021 and as such the operating results of Rose LifeScience from January 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022 are consolidated in our results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 with the minority interest presented in Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Non-controlling Interests, Net of Tax.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2021
Sales
Canadian Cannabis net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were $29,793 as compared to $24,761 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The period-over-period net sales increase of $5,032 or 20% includes net sales from Rose in Q2 2022. The increase between comparable quarters was driven by a 35% increase in non-branded sales and a 17% increase in branded sales. Rose also contributed $823 in commission revenue that is included in net sales. The 35% increase in non-branded sales was primarily due to the continued development and strengthening of relationships with other key LPs that are purchasing high potency, high-quality flower and trim made available as Canadian Cannabis expanded its cultivation footprint in 2022. The 17% increase in branded sales was attained through the addition of Rose branded sales in Q2 2022, partially offset by a decline in sales of cannabis derivative products and slower moving flower formats in certain provincial markets. In addition, the Canadian Cannabis industry has experienced price compression in 2022 as compared to 2021 which has affected branded products, flower and trim. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, 67% of revenue was generated from branded flower, inclusive of pre-rolls, 4% of revenue from cannabis derivative products and 29% from non-branded sales as compared to 65% of revenue from branded flower, inclusive of pre-rolls, 8% from cannabis derivative products and 27% from non-branded sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Cost of Sales
Canadian Cannabis cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were $18,285 as compared to $14,941 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The period-over-period net cost of sales increase of ($3,344) or (22%) includes Q2 2022 cost of sales from Rose. In addition, the Q2 2022 cost of sales for Pure Sunfarms includes a positive adjustment of $1,766 and the Q2 2021 cost of sales for Pure Sunfarms includes a ($133) charge from the revaluation of its inventory to fair value at acquisition date of November 2,
25
2020. The cost of sales increase was primarily due to increases in Canadian Cannabis kilograms produced and sold of both branded and non-branded products in Q2 2022 as compared to Q2 2021.
Gross Margin
Canadian Cannabis gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased $1,688 to $11,508, or a 39% gross margin, in comparison to $9,820, or a 40% gross margin, for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased ($211) to $9,742, or a 33% gross margin (excluding the purchase price inventory positive adjustment of $1,766) in comparison to $9,953, or a 40% gross margin (excluding the purchase price inventory adjustment charge of $133), for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in gross margin between comparable periods was primarily due to the production of high-quality, high-potency flower from a larger cultivation footprint which decreased the cost per gram, partially offset by price compression experienced across various provincial markets in Q2 2022 as compared to Q1 2022.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Canadian Cannabis selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased $4,027 to $8,397 or 28% of sales compared to $4,370 or 18% of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in Q2 2022 was due to the inclusion of Rose expenses and planned incremental investment in sales support and marketing campaigns for the higher volume of sales along with additional headcount, IT services, regulatory and compliance fees to support the growth of the Canadian Cannabis segment.
Net Income
Canadian Cannabis net income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $1,822 compared to $3,221 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in net income between periods was primarily due to higher selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by a higher gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 was $2,743 and $7,369, respectively. The lower Adjusted EBITDA between periods was primarily due to higher selling, general and administrative expenses in Q2 2022 along with the effect of the purchase price inventory adjustments on the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. See the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income in “Non-GAAP Measures—Reconciliation of Net Earnings to Adjusted EBITDA”.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2021
Sales
Canadian Cannabis net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were $51,562 as compared to $42,221 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The period-over-period net sales increase of $9,341 or 22% includes net sales from Rose for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase between comparable periods was driven by a 76% increase in non-branded sales partially offset by an (8%) decrease in branded sales. Rose also contributed $1,609 in commission revenue that is included in net sales. The 76% increase in non-branded sales was primarily due to the continued development and strengthening of relationships with other key LPs that are purchasing high potency, high-quality flower and trim made available as Canadian Cannabis expanded its cultivation footprint in 2022. The (8%) decrease in branded sales was largely due to a decrease in sales from the western Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Alberta for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. In addition, the Canadian Cannabis industry has experienced price compression in 2022 as compared to 2021 which has affected branded products, flower and trim due to factors such as price competition by retailers and producers, price-sensitive consumer habits and some LPs reducing prices to attain cash or capture market share. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, 67% of revenue was generated from branded flower, inclusive of pre-rolls, 6% of revenue from cannabis derivative products and 27% from non-branded sales as compared to 68% of revenue from branded flower, inclusive of pre-rolls, 10% from cannabis derivative products and 22% from non-branded sales for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $2,113 to $17,203, or a 33% gross margin (excluding the purchase price inventory positive adjustment of $3,815) in comparison to $15,090, or a 36% gross margin (excluding the purchase price inventory adjustment charge of $3,058), for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to the production of high-quality, high-potency flower from a larger cultivation footprint which decreases the cost per gram, partially offset by price compression experienced across various provincial markets in the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Canadian Cannabis selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $6,994 to $15,330 or 30% of sales compared to $8,336 or 20% of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in 2022 was due to the inclusion of Rose expenses and planned incremental investment in sales support and marketing campaigns for the higher volume of sales along with additional headcount, IT services, regulatory and compliance fees to support the growth of the Canadian Cannabis segment.

Net Income
Canadian Cannabis net income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $2,809 compared to $387 for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 was $4,847 and $9,903, respectively. The lower Adjusted EBITDA between periods was primarily due to higher selling, general and administrative as a percentage of sales expenses in the first half of 2022 along with the effect of the purchase price inventory adjustments on the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. See the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income in “Non-GAAP Measures—Reconciliation of Net Earnings to Adjusted EBITDA”.
PRODUCE SEGMENT RESULTS – VF FRESH
The produce segment, VF Fresh, currently consists of Village Farms LP and Village Farms Canada LP. VF Fresh’s comparative analysis is based on the consolidated results of Village Farms LP and Village Farms Canada LP for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2021
Sales
VF Fresh sales for three months ended June 30, 2022 were $47,176 as compared to $45,539 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in sales of $1,637 or 4% was due to increases in our own produce revenues of $4,770 partially offset by lower grower partner revenues of ($3,133). The increase in our own produce revenues was primarily due to an increase in tomato volume of 10% primarily from our Texas greenhouses while the selling price of our own tomatoes increased due to a change in sales mix to a greater percentage of higher priced specialty tomatoes. The decrease in grower partner revenues was primarily due to (23%) decrease in tomato production purchased.
Cost of Sales
VF Fresh cost of sales for three months ended June 30, 2022 were $56,143 as compared to $49,353 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Cost of sales increased ($6,790) or (14%) due to increases in our own produce cost of sales of ($9,636) partially offset by a decrease in our grower partner cost of sales of $2,846. The increase in our own produce cost of sales was driven by the 10% increase in tomato volume at our Texas greenhouses as well as an increase in the sales mix for specialty tomatoes which require higher costs for cultivation and packaging along with an incremental catch up to our cost of sales of ($1,038) due to a revised Texas crop cycle that began in summer/fall 2021 and ends in early Q3 2022. The increase in volume and an incremental increase in freight costs of approximately ($1,686) drove higher transportation and handling costs of produce in Q2 2022 as compared to Q2 2021. The decrease in grower partner cost of sales was driven by a decrease in purchased production from our grower partners, partially offset by
27
an incremental increase in freight costs of approximately ($502). Our facility management has implemented changes to increase crop yield and reduce cost per pound, however efforts could not mitigate the increases in supply chain costs and incremental freight.
Gross Margin
The gross margin for VF Fresh was ($8,967) for three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to ($3,814) for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Gross margin in the second quarter of 2022 has been greatly affected by the higher cost of sales, which was attributable to additional freight per pound, higher cultivation costs in our Texas facilities, a revised Texas crop cycle and lower grower partner gross margin of ($287). The higher freight per pound increase of 42% was mostly due to increases in fuel prices and trucker shortages which we were not able to pass on to our customers.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
VF Fresh selling, general and administrative expenses for three months ended June 30, 2022 were $2,808 or 6% of sales as compared to $2,946 or 6% of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to lower legal fees incurred in Q2 2022 as compared to Q2 2021.
Net Loss
VF Fresh’s net loss for three months ended June 30, 2022 was ($9,350) as compared to ($4,660) for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in net loss for the second quarter of 2022 as compared to the second quarter of 2021 was primarily due to the lower gross margin incurred in 2022 driven by higher cost of sales due to an increase in our Texas tomato production volume, revised Texas crop cycle, freight and supply chain expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA
The Adjusted EBITDA for VF Fresh was ($10,282) for three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to ($3,980) for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The lower Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a decrease in operating margin of ($5,107) for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. See the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income in “Non-GAAP Measures—Reconciliation of Net Earnings to Adjusted EBITDA”.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2021
Sales

The increase in sales of $8,119 or 10% was due to increases in our own produce revenues of $8,288 partially offset by a decrease from our grower partner revenues of ($169). The increase in our own produce revenues was primarily due to an increase in tomato volume of 10% primarily from our Texas greenhouses while the selling price of our own tomatoes increased 8% due to a change in sales mix to a greater percentage of higher priced specialty tomatoes. The decrease in grower partner revenues was primarily due to lower volumes of pounds sold of tomatoes, partially offset by higher volumes of pounds sold of peppers, cucumbers and mini-cucumbers.
Cost of Sales
VF Fresh cost of sales for six months ended June 30, 2022 were $101,782 as compared to $83,503 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Cost of sales increased ($18,279) or (22%) due to increases in our own produce cost of sales of ($16,950) and our grower partner cost of sales of ($1,329). The increase in our own produce cost of sales was driven by the increase in tomato volume at our Texas greenhouses as well as an increase in the sales mix for specialty tomatoes which require higher costs for cultivation and packaging. The increase in volume and an incremental increase in freight costs of approximately ($3,010) drove higher transportation and handling costs of produce in 2022 as compared to 2021. In addition, in the six months ended June 30, 2022, we incurred an incremental catch up to our cost of sales of ($2,818) on our Texas crop cycle that began in summer/fall 2021 and ends in early Q3 2022 due to an expected lower total crop volume and higher cost of production for the growing cycle due to ongoing disease pressure and supply chain cost increases, effectively increasing our production price per pound for our Texas tomato crop. The increase in grower partner cost of sales was driven by an incremental increase in freight costs of approximately ($1,930), partially offset by lower volumes of produce pounds sold in 2022 as compared to 2021. Our facility management has implemented changes to increase crop yield and reduce cost per pound, however our efforts could not mitigate the increases in supply chain costs and incremental freight experienced in 2022.
Gross Margin

Gross margin in the six months ended June 30, 2022 has been greatly affected by the higher cost of sales, which was attributable to additional freight per pound, a revised production forecast and higher cultivation costs in our Texas facilities and
28
lower grower partner gross margin of ($1,498). The higher freight per pound increase of 36% was mostly due to increases in fuel prices and trucker shortages which we were not able to pass on to our customers.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
VF Fresh selling, general and administrative expenses for six months ended June 30, 2022 were $5,948 or 7% of sales as compared to $5,497 or 7% of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The quarter-over-quarter increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to legal fees and higher audit and compliance fees.
Net Loss
VF Fresh’s net loss for six months ended June 30, 2022 was ($15,095) as compared to ($6,245) for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to the higher cost of sales that resulted in lower gross margin in 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA
The Adjusted EBITDA for VF Fresh was ($16,483) for six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to ($4,472) for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The lower Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a decrease in operating margin of ($10,584) for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021.

In addition, sales included a (2%) loyalty program impact as loyalty program customers generate loyalty points that may be used when purchasing Balanced Health products.

The Company considered qualitative factors in assessing impairment indicators and concluded at June 30, 2022, an impairment trigger existed. The impact to goodwill of ($25,159) and intangible assets of ($4,630) were triggered by macroeconomic challenges, decreases in market capitalization of CBD companies and the continued federal regulation lack of clarity with respect to CBD. We evaluated forecasts of our U.S. Cannabis business segment and a reduction in market transaction multiples for CBD companies in our valuation and impairment conclusions. See Part 1, Item 1 Note 6 “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” for additional details.

Balanced Health continues to identify opportunistic and resourceful strategies and tactics to drive topline sales.

Pure Sunfarms Loans

The Third Amended and Restated PSF Credit Agreement amended and updated the previous three loan facilities.
The first loan facility under the Third Amended and Restated PSF Credit Agreement is a revolving line of credit (the “PSF Revolving Line of Credit”) with two separate C$7,500 commitments from each of the Canadian chartered banks. Each lender established a revolving line of credit severally and not jointly whereby Pure Sunfarms may receive advances in equal proportionate amounts from each lender. The advances shall be used for working capital purposes, general corporate purposes and capital expenditures, of which capital expenditures may not exceed C$7,500 in aggregate use of the outstanding advances. Interest is payable at the Canadian prime rate plus an applicable margin per annum, payable monthly. The PSF Revolving Line of Credit had an outstanding balance of C$3,539 as of June 30, 2022 and C$9,855 as of December 31, 2021.

The PSF Non-Revolving Facility, which matures on February 7, 2024, is secured by the Delta 2 and Delta 3 greenhouse facilities and contains customary financial and restrictive covenants. The purpose of the PSF Non-Revolving Facility is to refinance our Delta 3 greenhouse and provide funds to upgrade and retrofit the Delta 2 facility.
