VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Village Farms International, Inc. (“Village Farms” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: VFF) today reported financial results for its quarter ended March 31, 2026. All figures are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.
Notice Regarding Changes to Segment Financial Reporting
During the first quarter of 2026, the Company realigned its structure toward a unified cannabis operating model, including changes and additions to its leadership team, to gain operational efficiencies and better align resources with customer and market opportunities. The Company's operations are now organized, managed and classified into one reportable segment—Cannabis. The Company’s remaining operations are not reportable segments, as defined by the applicable accounting standard, and are classified as Other. Corporate expenses reflect the operations costs that are not allocated to the Company's operating units.
Management Commentary
President and Chief Executive Officer Michael DeGiglio commented, “Our first quarter results reflect a strong start to the year and continued momentum in our largest markets, with adjusted EBITDA growth of 118% year-over-year significantly outpacing revenue growth of 27%, driven by our international businesses and continued leadership in Canada. Our operations and commercial teams are executing with precision, delivering continued margin strength and a fourth consecutive quarter of positive net income which clearly demonstrates the sustainably profitable nature of our expanding global cannabis enterprise.”
“In Canada, we’re continuing to benefit from efforts to shift our business toward higher-margin products, growing market share in targeted and profitable product categories, and our Pure Sunfarms brand has now increased its share of dried flower formats for 15 consecutive months. It was also a record quarter of international medical export sales, which grew 171% year-over-year and 60% sequentially, supported by increasing demand for Village Farms’ EU-GMP compliant products, particularly in Germany where we are capturing an increasing share of a growing market and continue to see a stable pricing environment for our products for the foreseeable future.”
“After making recent facility upgrades at our 4.8 million square foot production campus in British Columbia, we now believe we operate the world’s largest EU-GMP certified cannabis facility. Our production capabilities, product quality, and regulatory and supply chain excellence provide us with a unique collection of durable competitive advantages that we have methodically built over the last six years. Our capacity expansion projects will begin contributing to stronger sales growth through the remainder of this year and into 2027, and we look forward to showcasing the combined strengths of our global platform as the year progresses.”
“We remain in an excellent position to continue scaling profitably with increasing global demand, and believe the strength of our balance sheet and cash generation profile will enable flexibility to make additional accretive organic and acquisitive growth investments. We have a lot of attractive opportunities emerging for us in the U.S. and international markets, but we plan to be prudent and patient with respect to the various strategic M&A opportunities we are pursuing.”

(All comparable periods are for the first quarter of 2025 unless otherwise stated)

International export sales increased 171%; Canadian retail branded sales increased 5%; Netherlands sales increased 448%;
Gross margin increased to 43% from 39% in the prior year period;
Net income improved to $4.8 million from $2.8 million, an increase of 68% year-over-year;

Cash flow used in operations was ($11.8) million, driven by the impact of US $15.0 million of Canadian income taxes paid in Q1 2026 related to tax obligations from the previous fiscal year.
Strategic Growth and Operational Highlights
Surpassed the high end of its targeted gross margin range for cannabis of 30-40% for the fourth consecutive quarter; and recorded positive EPS from continuing operations for the fourth consecutive quarter.
Maintained a top five overall market share position in the Canadian market, and continued to hold the number one market share position in dried flower. The Company’s Pure Sunfarms brand expanded its market share position for the 15th consecutive month in April, reflecting improving consumer preference for the Company’s strains following recent introductions of packaging innovations that showcase the Company’s flower quality and aromas1.
International export sales from Canada increased 171% year-over-year to a record high of $14.6 million. The Company believes it remains the largest exporter of medical cannabis to Europe, with three of the top five leading cultivars in Germany and four of the top 10 through our distribution partners2.
The Company recently completed facility upgrades at its 4.8 million square foot production campus in Delta, British Columbia, the Company now believes it operates the world’s largest EU-GMP certified cannabis facility.
Began planting the first half of its Delta 2 greenhouse expansion in Canada, which is expected to begin contributing to sales late in the second quarter of 2026. The full expansion is expected to yield an incremental 40 metric tonnes of annualized cannabis production, expanding Canadian capacity by approximately 33% once completed in 2027.
The Company expects to commence all operations at its Phase II facility in the Netherlands during Q2 and ramp to full capacity by the end of 2026. Once operating at full capacity, the Phase II facility is expected to quintuple total Netherlands production to approximately 10 metric tonnes annually.
Corporate and Other
Began a succession planning process for Chief Financial Officer Steve Ruffini, who will remain an employee of the Company to help ensure a smooth transition of CFO responsibilities, and will be appointed to a new leadership position focused on evaluating strategic M&A opportunities.
Favorably amended and extended its loan with its long-term lender, Farm Credit Canada (FCC). The Company improved the interest rate on the loan by 50 basis points and extended the maturity date by three years and nine months to February 3, 2031. The FCC loan carries a variable interest rate currently below 7.0%, with a current balance of US $15.4 million.
On April 23, 2026, President Trump issued an executive order to (1) immediately place both FDA-approved products containing marijuana and marijuana products regulated by a state medical marijuana license in Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act, and (2) initiate an expedited administrative hearing process to consider the broader rescheduling of marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III, which is expected to commence on June 29, 2026. The Company believes it is poised to benefit from President Trump's Executive Order, which, if the broader rescheduling is enacted as anticipated, would represent a consequential step in modernizing U.S. cannabis policy and support the development of a regulatory framework more aligned with international drug policies.
