Management Commentary

This balanced approach enables us to support our growth initiatives and keep pace with our strategic goals for fiscal 2025. The Company's latest marketing campaigns, 'Shush Your Mind' for Dream Water and 'Quiets Chronic Pain' for LivRelief, demonstrate our dedication to expanding brand visibility and accessibility across all distribution channels."

Financial Highlights for the Three months Ended September 30, 2024
(Expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts)

In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, Delivra Health invested significantly in marketing initiatives to expand brand awareness and recognition while maintaining a positive Adjusted EBITDA(1) for fiscal 2025. The Company reported $16 of Adjusted EBITDA(1) in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $683 in the same period last year. This reduction in Adjusted EBITDA(1) was primarily driven by lower sales this period compared to same period last fiscal year as a result of the timing of purchase order activity; however, sales growth plans for fiscal 2025 remain on track in terms of year-over-year growth. The Company plans to continue investing in marketing campaigns to support such plans.

• Net revenue: For the three months ended September 30, 2024, net revenue was $3,163 compared to $3,671 in the same period in the prior year. The $508 or 14% reduction in net revenue was primarily due to a reduction in sales of Dream Water, which was largely influenced by the unfavorable timing of quarter over quarter purchase order activity.

• Gross profit and gross profit margin: For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company reported gross profit of $1,598 and a 51% gross profit margin compared to $1,922 and a 52% gross profit margin in same period last year. The reduction in gross profit is the result of a reduction in sales volume. The reduction in gross profit margin is attributed to higher sales fees related to Company's online sales due to increased investment in advertising and marketing initiatives.

• Expenses including selling, general and administrative expenses and excluding non-cash items: For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company reported expenses of $1,607 compared to $1,317 in the same period last year, representing a 20% increase. The increase is primarily driven by higher investments in sales and marketing campaigns and outreach to support branding and distribution initiatives.

• Adjusted EBITDA(1): For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company reported a positive Adjusted EBITDA of $16 compared to $683 in the same period last year, representing a $667 year-over-year reduction in Adjusted EBITDA. The reduction in Adjusted EBITDA is driven by a reduction in sales volume, which in turn, resulted in a reduction in gross profit in addition to greater marketing investment.

Non-IFRS Measures, Reconciliation and Discussion

This press release contains references to "Adjusted EBITDA" which is a non-International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of the Company's loss from operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization and adjusted for share-based compensation, common shares issued for services, fair value effects of accounting for biological assets and inventories, asset impairment and write-downs, and other non-cash items, and is a non-IFRS measure.

This measure can be used to analyze and compare profitability among companies and industries, as it eliminates the effects of financing and capital expenditures. It is often used in valuation ratios and can be compared to enterprise value and revenue. This measure does not have any standardized meaning according to IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

There are no comparable IFRS financial measures presented in Delivra Health's financial statements. Reconciliations of the supplemental non-IFRS measure are presented in the Company's management discussion and analysis for the three months ended September 30, 2024 (the "Q1 2025 MD&A"). This non-IFRS financial measure is presented because management has evaluated the financial results both including and excluding the adjusted items and believes that the non-IFRS financial measure presented provides additional perspective and insights when analyzing the core operating performance of the business. The Company believes that the supplemental measure provides information which is useful to shareholders and investors in understanding the Company's performance and may assist in the evaluation of the Company's business relative to that of its peers.

The non-IFRS financial measure should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for, or as an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with the IFRS financial measures presented in the Company's financial statements. For more information, please see "Adjusted EBITDA (non-IFRS measure)" and "Non-IFRS Measures" in the Q1 2025 MD&A, which is available under the Company's SEDAR+ profile on .

Notes:

1. This is a non-IFRS reporting measure. For a reconciliation of this measure to the nearest IFRS measure, see "Adjusted EBITDA (non-IFRS measure)" and "Non-IFRS Measures" in the Q1 2025 MD&A.
