Third Quarter Fiscal 2022 Financial Summary

Third Quarter Fiscal 2022 Financial Summary

Revenues:

Net revenue of $141 million in Q3 FY2022 was a decline of 8% versus Q3 FY2021. Total global cannabis net revenue of $83 million in Q3 FY2022, represented a decline of 20% over Q3 FY2021. Other consumer products revenue of $58 million in Q3 FY2022, represented an increase of 19% over Q3 FY2021. Excluding the impact from acquired businesses, net revenue declined 17% and global cannabis net revenue declined 34% versus Q3 FY2021.

Gross margin:

Reported gross margin in Q3 FY2022 was 7% as compared to 16% in Q3 FY2021. Excluding non-cash restructuring costs recorded in cost of goods sold and inventory step-up charges from acquisitions, adjusted gross margin was approximately 13%. Gross margin in Q3 FY2022 was further impacted by lower production output and price compression in the Canadian recreational business as well as higher third-party shipping, distribution and warehousing costs across North America. Gross margin in Q3 FY2022 benefited from payroll subsidies in the amount of $7 million received from the Canadian government, pursuant to a COVID-19 relief program.

Operating expenses:

Total SG&A ("SG&A") expenses in Q3 FY2022 declined by 19% versus Q3 FY2021, driven by year-over-year reductions in General & Administrative ("G&A") and Research and Development ("R&D") expenses partially offset by an increase in Sales & Marketing ("S&M") expenses. G&A expenses declined 47% year-over-year primarily due to reductions in staffing and professional fees and benefited from payroll subsidies received from the Canadian government in Q3 FY2022, pursuant to a COVID-19 relief program. R&D expenses declined 53% year-over-year principally due to a more disciplined approach to R&D investments. S&M expenses increased 20% year-over-year primarily due a return to more normal advertising and promotions spending in Q3 FY2022, compared to the prior year period, higher sponsorship fees associated with BioSteel's partnership deals and increased advertising expenses associated with new product launches.

Net Earnings:

Net Earnings in Q3 FY2022 amounted to a loss of $115 million, which is a $714 million improvement versus Q3 FY2021, driven primarily by lapping material non-cash asset impairment and restructuring charges in Q3 FY2021 and Other Income totaling $34 million during Q3 FY2022 mostly attributable to non-cash fair value changes of $59 million.

Adjusted EBITDA:

Adjusted EBITDA loss in Q3 FY2022 was $67 million, a $1 million improvement versus Q3 FY2021 primarily driven by the reduction in our total SG&A expenses, mostly offset by lower sales and a decline in gross margins.

Free Cash Flow:

Free Cash Flow in Q3 FY2022 was an outflow of $168 million, a 24% increase in outflow versus Q3 FY2021. Relative to Q3 FY2021, the Free Cash Flow outflow increase reflects higher interest paid and the timing of working capital.  

Cash Position:

Cash and Short-term investments amounted to $1.4 billion at December 31, 2021, representing a decrease of $0.9 billion from $2.3 billion at March 31, 2021 reflecting EBITDA losses, capital investments and the upfront payment made as consideration for the option to acquire Wana Brands upon federal permissibility of THC in the U.S.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2022 Revenue Review

Revenue by Channel

Revenue by Form

Canadian Cannabis

• Recreational B2B net sales in Q3 FY2022 decreased 23% over the prior year period primarily due to the continued insufficient supply of flower products with in-demand attributes and continued price compression, particularly in the value-priced dried flower category. These factors were partially offset by contribution from the acquisitions of Ace Valley and Supreme Cannabis.
• Recreational B2C net sales in Q3 FY2022 decreased 28% versus Q3 FY2021 largely driven by increased competition from the rapid increase in third party retail locations across provinces.
• Medical net revenue in Q3 FY2022 decreased 7% from Q3 FY2021 driven primarily by higher average order sizes offset by a fewer number of orders.

International Cannabis

• C³ revenue in Q3 FY2022 decreased 45% year-over-year as a result of increased competition and price compression.
• Other revenue in Q3 FY2022 increased 42% over the prior year period primarily due to growth in U.S. CBD sales and bulk cannabis sales by Supreme Cannabis into the Israel medical cannabis market.

Other Consumer Products

• BioSteel sales in Q3 FY2022 increased 130% over Q3 FY2021 driven by the launch of ready-to-drink "RTD" beverages and expanded distribution in the U.S. market.
• S&B vaporizer revenue in Q3 FY2022 increased 5% over Q3 FY2021 due primarily to sales of new VOLCANO ONYX and MIGHTY+ vaporizers launched late in the second quarter of fiscal 2022.
• This Works sales in Q3 FY2022 decreased 2% over Q3 FY2021 due in part to lapping strong sales in the prior year.
