CALGARY, AB, Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- High Tide Inc. ("High Tide" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: HITI) (TSXV: HITI) (FSE: 2LYA), the high-impact, retail-forward enterprise built to deliver real-world value across every component of cannabis, today released its financial results for the third fiscal quarter of 2026 ended July 31, 2026, the highlights of which are included in this news release. The full set of unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended July 31, 2026 and 2025 (the "Financial Statements") and accompanying management's discussion and analysis can be accessed by visiting the Company's website at www.hightideinc.com, its profile pages on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, and EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar.

"Nearly every major financial metric moved in the right direction this quarter, with many reaching the highest levels in our history. We delivered record revenue, record gross profit, record Adjusted EBITDA, record income from operations, record net income and record operating cash flow before working capital. But what excites me most is that our bottom line is now growing substantially faster than our top line. That is the operating leverage we have spent years building toward," said Raj Grover, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of High Tide.

"High Tide is approaching an $800 million annualized revenue run rate, our Adjusted EBITDA margin is at its highest level in twelve quarters, and we continue to generate meaningful free cash flow while investing aggressively in growth. With Canna Cabana strengthening its leadership position in Canada and Remexian scaling rapidly in Germany, we now have two powerful engines driving our business forward. We intend to keep pushing hard on growth, profitability and cash generation while maintaining the capital discipline that got us here. This quarter is the clearest evidence yet of the earnings power we are building at High Tide," added Mr. Grover.
