SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / November 13, 2025 / CV Sciences, Inc. (OTCQB:CVSI) (the "Company", "CV Sciences", "our", "us" or "we"), a preeminent consumer wellness company specializing in hemp extracts and other proven science-backed, natural ingredients and products, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Third Quarter 2025 and Recent Financial and Operating Highlights

• Generated revenue of $3.3 million for the third quarter 2025 compared to $3.9 million for the third quarter 2024 and compared to $3.6 million for the second quarter 2025;

• Recognized gross margin of 48.5% for the third quarter 2025 compared to 46.0% for the third quarter 2024 and compared to 50.9% for the second quarter 2025;

• Cash balance of $0.4 million at quarter end compared to $0.5 million at the end of 2024;

• Recognized an adjusted EBITDA loss of $118,000 for the third quarter 2025 compared to $75,000 for the third quarter 2024 and compared to positive adjusted EBITDA of $59,000 for the second quarter 2025; and

• Expanded +PlusCBD product offering with the launch of Ignite, a men's performance formula for vitality, recovery, libido and focus.

"We are pleased with our third quarter 2025 results, highlighted by healthy gross margins of 48% and continued progress toward profitability and positive cash flow," stated Joseph Dowling, Chief Executive Officer of CV Sciences. "Our focus on organic growth through new product development, combined with strategic M&A opportunities, positions us to enhance top-line revenue and shareholder value. Throughout 2025, our execution has been cost-efficient, and our commitment to innovation will diversify our product portfolio and help navigate the evolving regulatory landscape in the CBD category. We look forward to building a more balanced portfolio that drives sustainable growth and profitability."

Mr. Dowling stated further, "The funding legislation to reopen the federal government enacted yesterday that included restrictive language for the hemp industry is disappointing. The restrictive hemp language will not go into effect for a one-year period from today. CV Sciences will have an opportunity, along with other industry participants, to work on a bipartisan basis with members of Congress to shape a balanced and responsible regulatory framework that preserves access to hemp-derived, health and wellness products relied on by millions of consumers across the United States."

Operating Results - Third Quarter 2025 Compared to Third Quarter 2024

Sales for third quarter 2025 were $3.3 million, a decrease of 16% from $3.9 million in the third quarter 2024. The decline is driven by lower sales volume due to out-of-stock issues for some of our key products and restrictive regulations in certain states. The total number of units sold during third quarter 2025 decreased by 16% compared to the third quarter 2024. 39% of our net revenue for the third quarter 2025 was from new products launched since January 1, 2023. During this time period, we launched 38 new products.

We generated an operating loss of $0.3 million in the third quarter 2025 and 2024. Our lower sales for the third quarter 2025 resulted in a decline in gross profit which was offset by reduced SG&A expenses. The Company had an adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.1 million in the third quarter 2025 and 2024.

CV SCIENCES, INC.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for the United States (GAAP). The non-GAAP financial measures, such as net income (loss) per share and Adjusted EBITDA included in this press release are different from those otherwise presented under GAAP. We use non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate our performance and make financial and operational decisions that are presented in a manner that adjusts from their equivalent GAAP measures or that supplement the information provided by our GAAP measures. The non-GAAP financial measures exclude non-cash compensation expense for stock options. When evaluating the performance of our business and developing short and long-term plans, we do not consider share-based compensation charges. Although share-based compensation is necessary to attract and retain quality employees, our consideration of share-based compensation places its primary emphasis on overall shareholder dilution rather than the accounting charges associated with such grants. Because of the varying availability of valuation methodologies and subjective assumptions, we believe that the exclusion of share-based compensation allows for more accurate comparison of our financial results to previous periods. In addition, we believe it useful to investors to understand the specific impact of the application of the fair value method of accounting for share-based compensation on our operating results.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined by us as EBITDA (net loss plus depreciation, amortization, interest, and income tax expense, further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash expenses and other adjustments as set forth below. We use Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it more clearly highlights trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures, since Adjusted EBITDA eliminates from our results specific financial items that have less bearing on our core operating performance.

We use Adjusted EBITDA in communicating certain aspects of our results and performance, including in this press release, and believe that Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed in conjunction with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation, can provide investors with greater transparency and a greater understanding of factors affecting our financial condition and results of operations than GAAP measures alone. In addition, we believe the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in making period-to-period comparison of results because the adjustments to GAAP are not reflective of our core business performance.

A reconciliation from our GAAP net loss to non-GAAP net income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 is detailed below (in thousands, except per share data):
