November 4, 2026 at 7:00 AM EST

ROLLING MEADOWS, Ill., Nov. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RYTHM, Inc. (Nasdaq: RYM) (“RYTHM” or the “Company”), America’s THC Company, whose portfolio of trusted THC brands includes RYTHM, Señorita, incredibles, Beboe, and Dogwalkers, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.

Financial Highlights for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026:

  • Revenue from continuing operations of $23.9 million, up 4% from $23.0 million in the prior quarter.
  • Cash increased to $48.2 million, driven by cash flow from operations of $6.3 million.
  • Net loss of $0.5 million and operating income from continuing operations of $1.0 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $5.9 million, compared to $6.4 million in the prior quarter.
  • At quarter end, the Company had approximately 2.2 million shares outstanding, as well as 11.2 million warrants outstanding and 3.0 million shares issuable upon conversion of outstanding convertible notes (excluding shares issuable upon conversion from accrued interest).

See definitions and reconciliation of non-GAAP measures elsewhere in this release.

Business Highlights

  • THC beverage depletions¹ increased approximately 15% sequentially and approximately 185% year-over-year, reaching an annualized run rate of approximately 320,000 cases¹.
  • Ended the quarter with the Company’s THC beverages available in approximately 8,000 retail doors across 18 states.
  • Hemp-derived product revenue increased 15% sequentially to $6.4 million.
  • Launched RYTHM Lifted Lemon, a new THC twist on iced tea and lemonade, further expanding the Company’s beverage portfolio.
  • Increased brand visibility and consumer engagement through a presence at major entertainment and cultural destinations. Señorita was featured at Lollapalooza and Riot Fest in Chicago, Shaky Knees in Atlanta and is available at the United Center and Opry Entertainment Group venues. RYTHM is the official THC beverage partner of Chicago’s Navy Pier.

Regulatory and Corporate Updates

  • Further amended the licensing arrangement with a Green Thumb Industries, Inc. (“Green Thumb”) subsidiary to add the Señorita brand to the fixed-fee license structure, increasing the aggregate annual fee by $250,000 to $70.25 million (subject to contractual annual escalations), while preserving the Company’s exclusive rights to commercialize Señorita outside state-regulated cannabis dispensary channels, where legally permitted and consistent with Nasdaq listing standards.
  • Following stockholder approval on August 10, 2026, amended certain convertible notes, pre-funded warrants and the Company’s shared services agreement with subsidiaries of Green Thumb to remove the 49.99% beneficial ownership limitation, effective October 10, 2026. Green Thumb has disclosed that it will consolidate the Company’s results in its financial statements beginning October 10, 2026. The Company will continue to report its financial results independently, including in its own periodic reports filed with the SEC.
  • Recent federal action extended the effective date of forthcoming changes to federal law affecting hemp-derived THC products from November 12 to December 11, 2026. Under current law, those changes take effect on December 11, 2026, absent further legislative or regulatory action, and would prohibit the Company from selling its current hemp-derived THC products in their existing form, including through the retail and venue channels described under “Business Highlights.” Certain state restrictions, including in Illinois, become effective earlier, on November 12, 2026, and would similarly restrict sales in those jurisdictions beginning on that date. Accordingly, the Company is not providing an outlook for the fourth quarter of 2026 at this time.

¹ Depletions represent U.S. distributor shipments of the Company’s branded THC beverages to retailers, measured in 24-can case equivalents, based on third-party data. Annualized run rate reflects third-quarter 2026 depletions multiplied by four and does not constitute a projection of future results.

Management Commentary 

"Third quarter revenue increased 4% sequentially to $23.9 million, driven by 15% growth in hemp-derived product sales to $6.4 million,” said RYTHM, Inc. Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer Ben Kovler. “Our THC beverages continued to build momentum, with depletions up approximately 15% sequentially to an annualized rate of 320,000 cases, while our retail footprint expanded to roughly 8,000 doors across 18 states. We also generated $6.3 million in cash from operations, driven by our licensing business, and ended the quarter with a strong cash position of $48.2 million. These results demonstrate growing consumer demand, continued commercial execution and the financial flexibility to navigate what’s ahead.”

“THC beverages are emerging as a fourth adult beverage category, alongside beer, wine and spirits, earning national shelf space and a presence at major entertainment and cultural venues. Leading retailers and wholesalers have been essential partners in that progress, and their support has helped establish the category’s credibility. Consumers continue to embrace THC beverages despite the forthcoming changes to federal law. We believe their future depends on drawing a clear line between regulated and unregulated products through a responsible regulatory framework that protects consumers and provides a viable path forward.”

“Against that backdrop, we continued to innovate and invest behind that opportunity, building sales velocity, brand awareness and in-store execution. Our posture is one of conviction with discipline. As America’s THC Company, we own some of the most recognized names in U.S. cannabis, and our THC beverages continue to extend our reach into traditional retail. Our brands are the foundation of RYTHM’s long-term value, and our presence across channels positions us to reach consumers as regulations evolve.”
