Acquisitions Acquisitions
Goodwill arising from acquisitions consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from integrating the operations of the acquired businesses, opportunities to enter into new markets and/or expand the Company’s footprint in existing markets as well as the acquisition of other intangibles that do not qualify for separate recognition. Synergies include (i) the elimination of redundant facilities and functions and (ii) the use of the Company’s existing commercial infrastructure to expand sales. None of the resultant goodwill from the following acquisitions are expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
2025 Acquisitions
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company did not consummate any acquisitions that were material, individually or in the aggregate.
2024 Acquisitions
Northern Green Canada Inc.
On April 19, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of all issued and outstanding shares of Northern Green Canada, Inc. (“NGC”), for total consideration of approximately $23.8 million, paid in cash and equity consideration.

The acquisition of NGC equipped the Company with a secure and consistent supply of high quality, non-irradiated indoor EU-GMP flower in order to maintain a leading position in Germany, Poland and the U.K. and support the Company’s expansion into new international markets.
The Company accounted for its acquisition of NGC as a business combination.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded a measurement period adjustment of $4.0 million to Deferred tax liability, to reflect acquired net operating losses that were not determinable at the acquisition date. See Note 13 — Intangible assets, net and Goodwill for further detail on the impact of this measurement period adjustment to Goodwill.

2023 Acquisitions
Deseret Wellness, LLC
On April 6, 2023 the Company completed the acquisition of Deseret Wellness (“Deseret”), the largest cannabis retail operator in Utah, with consideration consisting of cash and stock. The Deseret acquisition includes three retail dispensaries located in the cities of Park City, Provo and Payson. The Deseret acquisition immediately strengthened the Company’s retail footprint in Utah, providing the state's medical patients with a wide variety of quality products including cannabis flower, vape cartridges, edibles and concentrates. The Deseret acquisition was accounted for as a business combination.

The fair value of the consideration, paid through the issuance of SVS, was based on a third-party valuation that took into account transfer restrictions and the time value of money. The Company incurred and expensed $0.3 million of transaction costs related to the acquisition of Deseret. Subsequent to the acquisition date, the Company recorded a measurement period adjustment to the purchase price allocation to remove the impact of inventory purchased by Deseret from Tryke (as defined herein) prior to being acquired by the Company. The measurement period adjustment reduced inventory and increased goodwill in the amount of $0.2 million. The acquisition remains subject to post-closing adjustments, and the Company is in the process of finalizing purchase price accounting.
The Company calculated, on a pro forma basis, the combined results of the acquired entity as if the acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2023. These unaudited pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of either the actual consolidated results had the acquisition occurred as of January 1, 2023, or of the future consolidated operating results. For the Deseret acquisition, total unaudited pro forma revenue and net income for the year ended December 31, 2023, was $13.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
Revenue and net income from the acquired Deseret dispensaries included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2023, was $9.9 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
