CALGARY, AB , Dec. 23, 2025 /CNW/ - 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, is pleased to reflect on its key milestones achieved in 2025, a year in which the Company continued to deliver strong results while executing against its publicly stated strategic and operational objectives. From surpassing 200 stores and more than 2 million Canadian Cabana Club members, to officially entering the German medical cannabis market, the Company consistently executed against its strategic priorities while strengthening its operations and financial position.

"2025 was a truly transformational year for High Tide as we evolved from a domestic market leader into a global cannabis company. Achieving strong growth while remaining free cash flow positive is rare in any retail category, and it reflects the strength of our operating model, disciplined execution, and the dedication of our team. Growing from a single store in 2018 to becoming one of the most recognizable cannabis brands with over 200 Canna Cabana locations today, is something we are incredibly proud of," said Raj Grover, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of High Tide.

"With over $2 billion in cumulative sales since the legalization of cannabis in Canada and strong operations across multiple jurisdictions, we believe the opportunity ahead of us is substantial. Our early momentum in Germany underscores the potential to capture meaningful market share in large international markets, while the strength of the Canna Cabana brand positions us well for future expansion, including into the United States. As we look ahead to 2026, our focus remains on further strengthening our brand, expanding our global footprint, and delivering long-term value for shareholders," added Mr. Grover.
