NOTE 3. INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES
Bonnie Plants
The Company holds a 50% equity interest in Bonnie Plants, LLC, a joint venture with Alabama Farmers Cooperative, Inc. (“AFC”) focused on planting, growing, developing, distributing, marketing and selling live plants. The Company’s interest is accounted for using the equity method of accounting, with the Company’s proportionate share of Bonnie Plants, LLC earnings reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three and nine months ended June 27, 2026, the Company recorded equity in income of unconsolidated affiliates associated with Bonnie Plants, LLC of $29.2 and $14.2, respectively, compared to $27.2 and $11.4 during the three and nine months ended June 28, 2025, respectively.
FLUENT
During the three months ended December 28, 2024, THC exchanged its existing convertible debt investment in RIV Capital Inc. (“RIV Capital”) for an investment in FLUENT. This exchange, a non-cash investing and financing activity, resulted in a loss of $7.0 that was recorded in the “Impairment, restructuring and other” line in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three months ended December 28, 2024. As of June 27, 2026, THC holds 153.1 million common shares of FLUENT, which represents approximately 25% of FLUENT’s total outstanding common shares. THC and FLUENT are also parties to an investor rights agreement which allows THC to nominate up to two members to the FLUENT board of directors. This investment was previously accounted for using the equity method of accounting, with THC’s proportionate share of FLUENT earnings subsequent to December 18, 2024 reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations on a one quarter lag. During the three months ended December 27, 2025, the Company’s investment balance in FLUENT was reduced to zero, and the Company discontinued equity method recognition of its proportionate share of FLUENT losses. The Company does not have any contractual obligations or other commitments to fund losses of FLUENT. On April 30, 2026, FLUENT announced that it entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which Vireo will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of FLUENT in exchange for common shares of Vireo. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement and as adjusted for the Vireo 30-for-1 share consolidation completed effective June 5, 2026, THC expects to receive approximately 0.4 million common shares of Vireo upon closing of the transaction. The closing of the transaction is subject to various conditions, including shareholder, court and regulatory approvals.
