Herbal Dispatch Reports 2025 First Quarter Financial Results

May 29, 2025 – Vancouver, B.C. – TheNewswire – Herbal Dispatch Inc. (CSE: HERB) (“Herbal Dispatch” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025. In Q1 2025, gross sales reached $3.2 million, representing a 97% increase compared to $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2024. Excluding excise taxes, net revenue rose to $2.7 million, up from $1.3 million in the prior-year period. Revenue growth in Q1 2025 was driven by strong performance across key segments. This included substantial growth in recreational cannabis sales, export sales and higher service revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA loss improved significantly, narrowing to $71 thousand in Q1 2025 from $0.6 million in Q1 2024. Net loss decreased to $0.3 million, compared to $0.8 million in the same quarter last year with the improvement primarily due to the increase in revenue and gross profit.

Looking ahead to 2025, Herbal Dispatch remains focused on developing new profitable sales channels and scaling its operations efficiently. Key priorities include (i) expanding domestic sales across Canada, (ii) strengthening export sales in established markets such as Australia and Portugal; and (iii) entering new international markets.

Based on preliminary financial data, the Company expects gross sales for April 2025 to be approximately $1.6 million, a substantial increase from $1.0 million in April 2024. The company also anticipates its gross margin for April 2025 will be in line with the margin reported for Q1 2025. In addition, Herbal Dispatch is currently experiencing strong customer interest in new export opportunities, which if realized, could contribute to a strong financial performance in the second half of the year.

NON-IFRS MEASURES

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, share based compensation, loss (gain) on disposal of assets, loss (gain) on investments, loss (gain) on settlement of debt, impairment losses, loss (gain) on foreign exchange and accretion expense. The Company believes that, in addition to net income (loss), adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure as it provides an indication of the financial results generated by its principal business activities prior to consideration of how these activities are financed or how the results are taxed in various jurisdictions and before certain non-cash items such as depreciation, amortization, and other items. Adjusted EBITDA does not have any standardized meaning as prescribed by IFRS and therefore, is considered a non-IFRS measure and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

A reconciliation of net loss to adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods presented in this news release follows:
