The results reflect the continued transformation of Herbal Dispatch toward higher-margin medical cannabis and international export channels, with the Company increasingly focused on the veteran medical market as a key driver of recurring revenue and future profitability.
Medical sales more than doubled in Q2 2026 to $0.9 million, driven primarily by rapid growth in the Company's veteran medical channel, which has reached a current annualized sales run rate of approximately $2.2 million.

As this transition progressed, direct-to-consumer medical net revenue increased to $0.9 million in Q2 2026, compared with $0.4 million in the prior year, representing growth of more than 100%.
