Total revenue increased by 8% to $338 million during the second quarter of 2022, compared to $312 million in the second quarter of 2021. The Company's year-over-year revenue growth primarily reflects continued growth driven by new retail store openings and commencement of adult-use in New Jersey, the acquisition of Bloom Dispensaries, the addition of new wholesale partner accounts, product launches, and the expansion of cultivation and production facilities.
Retail revenue increased by 13% to $252 million during the second quarter of 2022, compared to $222 million in the second quarter of 2021, representing 75% of total revenue. Growth in retail revenue was primarily due to strong growth across Curaleaf's footprint and the opening of 28 new stores over the year, namely in Arizona (including the acquisition of Bloom Dispensaries), Florida, Maine, and Pennsylvania and the commencement of adult-use in New Jersey.
Wholesale revenue decreased 6% to $84 million during the second quarter of 2022, compared to $89 million in the second quarter of 2021, representing 25% of total revenue. Contraction in wholesale revenue during the quarter was largely due to the Company's continued assessment of the wholesale marketplace in California and Colorado.

Gross profit margin reached 51.9%, compared to 49.6% in the second quarter of 2021 largely resulting from the increase in vertically integrated products sold in its dispensaries and the mix of revenue from higher margin states.

For the second quarter of 2022, net loss attributable to Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. was $28 million, compared to a net loss of $5 million in the second quarter of 2021. The increase in net loss was due to an unfavorable net change in fair value of biological assets coupled with the increase in operating expenses, which were partially offset by higher revenues.

Adjusted EBITDA was $86 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $84 million for the second quarter of 2021. The year-over-year increase in adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by solid revenue growth combined with operating leverage. The year-over-year decrease in Adjusted EBITDA margin reflects greater SG&A expenditures due to increased headcount in support of new store openings, higher levels of expenses related to research and development activities, as well as higher sales and marketing spend, and an increase in professional fees.

As disclosed in the Company's Consolidated Annual Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company made an immaterial restatement to the initial purchase accounting for the Select acquisition. Adjustments have been made to the comparative period financial statements presented herein, which reflect a decrease in amortization expense, as applicable.

Non-IFRS Financial and Performance Measures
Curaleaf reports its financial results in accordance with IFRS and uses a number of financial measures and ratios when assessing its results and measuring overall performance. Some of these financial measures and ratios are not calculated in accordance with IFRS. Curaleaf refers to certain Non-IFRS financial measures and ratios such as "Gross Profit on Cannabis Sales", "Gross Margin on Cannabis Sales", "Adjusted EBITDA", and "Adjusted EBITDA Margin". These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. The Company defines "Gross Profit on Cannabis Sales" as retail and wholesale revenues less cost of goods sold. "Gross Margin on Cannabis Sales" is defined by Curaleaf as gross profit on cannabis sales divided by retail and wholesale revenues. "Adjusted EBITDA" is defined by Curaleaf as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization less share-based compensation expense and other add-backs related to business development, acquisition, financing and reorganization costs. "Adjusted EBITDA Margin" is defined by Curaleaf as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue. Curaleaf considers these measures to be an important indicator of the financial strength and performance of our business. We believe the adjusted results presented provide relevant and useful information for investors because they clarify our actual operating performance, make it easier to compare our results with those of other companies and allow investors to review performance in the same way as our management. Since these measures are not calculated in accordance with IFRS, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, our reported results as indicators of our performance, and they may not be comparable to similarly named measures from other companies. The tables provided in this press release contained in the sections "Gross Profit on Cannabis Sales" and "Adjusted EBITDA" (pg. 5) provide reconciliations of Non-IFRS measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures.
