(1)

See "Non-GAAP Financial Information" below for more information regarding the Company's use of non-GAAP financial measures.

(2)

2022 reflects significant share-based compensation expense related to the graded vesting from the restricted stock units and stock options
granted as a result of the consummation of the Company's recapitalization transaction (the "Recapitalization Transaction") as further
discussed in the Annual Report.

(3)

Includes one-time, non-recurring costs related to the Company's Recapitalization Transaction, strategic review process, ongoing legal
disputes, severance and other non-recurring costs associated with having become a U.S. reporting company. These non-recurring costs
are offset by insurance proceeds received as reimbursement for certain legal costs incurred.

(4)

2023 reflects a one-time loss of $1.3 million on debt extinguishment related to the amendment of the $11.0 million senior secured bridge
notes issued by iAnthus New Jersey, LLC. 2022 reflects a one-time loss of $316.6 million on debt extinguishment related to the closing
of the Recapitalization Transaction.

(5)

2023 reflects $0.4 million of Employee Retention Tax Credits ("ERTCs") and approximately $0.5 million related to gains from asset
disposals. 2022 reflects $0.2 million of ERTCs, accounts payable write-offs of $0.5 million and a one-time refund of community host
fees of $0.4 million.

(6)

2022 reflects accrued interest on the exit fee owed to the holders of the Company's former 13.0% senior secured convertible debentures
(the "Secured Notes"). As of the closing of the Recapitalization Transaction on June 24, 2022, the Secured Notes and the associated exit
fee were forgiven in part, and therefore, the Company will no longer incur debt obligation fees related to the Secured Notes.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the SEC and the Canadian Securities Administrators. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are included in the tables above. This information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for, or superior to, any measure of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

In evaluating our business, we consider and use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental measures of operating performance. We define EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before share-based compensation, accretion expense, write-downs and impairments, gains and losses from changes in fair values of financial instruments, income or losses from equity-accounted investments, the effect of changes in accounting policy, non-recurring costs related to the Company's Recapitalization Transaction, litigation costs related to ongoing legal proceedings, and other income. We present EBITDA because we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a measure of financial performance of other similarly situated companies in our industry, and we present Adjusted EBITDA because it removes non-recurring, irregular and one-time items that we believe may distort the comparability of EBITDA from period-to-period and with other industry participants.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not standardized financial measures defined under GAAP, and are not a measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as an analytical tool, and when assessing the Company's operating performance, investors should not consider EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA in isolation, or as a substitute for net income (loss) or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Among other things, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the Company's actual cash expenditures. Other companies may calculate similar measures differently than us, limiting their usefulness as comparative tools. We compensate for these limitations by relying on GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental information.
