Who We Are
Rubicon Organics is the Canadian leader in certified organic and premium cannabis. With a vertically integrated model and strong national distribution, the company is scaling a house of trusted, high-performing brands including Simply Bare Organics, 1964 Supply Co., Wildflower, and Homestead Cannabis Supply.
The Company's focus on premium quality, innovation, and operational execution has driven consistent growth, with Q3 2025 revenue up 16% year-over-year and positive Adjusted EBITDA for the sixth consecutive quarter and for thirteen of the last fourteen quarters.
The Company's production base is anchored by its fully licensed Pacifica Facility (Delta, BC), and is now complemented by the acquisition and licensing of its Cascadia Facility (Hope, BC), which will expand production capacity by over 40% and support future growth in both domestic and export markets. With proprietary genetics, award-winning products, and certifications enabling international distribution, Rubicon is positioned at the forefront of the premium cannabis segment.
As the Canadian market continues to rationalize and global demand for high-quality cannabis increases, Rubicon's disciplined execution, brand equity, and consumer loyalty set it apart. The company is well-capitalized following a recent $4.0 million financing and is on track for continued revenue and Adjusted EBITDA expansion.
Rubicon Organics represents a rare combination of category leadership, operational strength, and long-term growth potential.
Where We Are Going: 2025 Outlook
For fiscal 2025, we are forecasting full year growth in both net revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, excluding acquisition-related and start up operational costs associated with the Cascadia Facility (the "Cascadia Costs"), driven by our ongoing expansion and strategic initiatives. While we anticipate strong underlying performance in 2025, we expect the Cascadia Costs will impact our reported financial results. Despite the potential short-term impact of the Cascadia Costs on IFRS profitability, we are confident that our continued growth in net revenue and improved Adjusted EBITDA (excluding acquisition-related and start up operational costs associated with the Cascadia Facility) will position us for long-term success and value creation.
