CANOPY GROWTH CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands of Canadian dollars, unaudited)unaudited, unless otherwise indicated)

1.1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Canopy Growth Corporation is a publicly traded corporation, incorporated in Canada, with its head office located at 1 Hershey Drive, Smiths Falls, Ontario. References in these condensed interim consolidated financial statementsherein to “Canopy Growth” or “the Company” refer to Canopy Growth Corporation and its subsidiaries.

The principal activities of the Company are the production, distribution and sale of a diverse range of cannabis as regulated by the Access to Cannabisand cannabinoid-based products for Medical Purposes Regulations (“ACMPR”)both adult-use and medical purposes under a portfolio of distinct brands in Canada uppursuant to and including Octoberthe Cannabis Act, SC 2018, c 16 2018.

Through its partially owned subsidiary Canopy Rivers Inc. (“Canopy Rivers”),certain other global markets. Additionally, the Company also provides growth capitalproduces, distributes and a strategic support platform that pursues investment opportunities in the globalsells vaporizers and similar cannabis sector, where federally lawful.accessories.

2.2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been presented in Canadian dollars and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Canopy Growth has determined that the Canadian dollar is the most relevant and appropriate reporting currency as, despite continuing shifts in the relative size of ourthe Company's operations across multiple geographies, the majority of ourits operations are conducted in Canadian dollars and ourits financial results are prepared and reviewed internally by management in Canadian dollars. OurThe Company's condensed interim consolidated financial statements, and the financial information contained herein, are reported in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts or as otherwise stated.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the audited annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted or condensed. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 20202023 (the “Annual Report”), and have been prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting policies as described in the Annual Report.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and reflect adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The results reported in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for an entire fiscal year. The policies set out below are consistently applied to all periods presented, unless otherwise noted.

Going Concern

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

As reflected in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the Company has certain material debt obligations coming due in the short-term, has suffered recurring losses from operations and requires additional financing to fund its business and operations. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it is possible that it will be unable to meet certain of its financial obligations.

These matters, when considered in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least twelve months from the issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

In view of these matters, continuation as a going concern is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financial requirements and to raise additional capital, and the success of its future operations. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amount and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company not continue as a going concern.

Management plans to fund the operations and debt obligations of the Company through existing cash positions. The Company is also currently evaluating several different strategies and intends to pursue actions that are expected to increase its liquidity position, including, but not limited to, pursuing additional actions under the Company's cost-savings plan, seeking additional financing from both the public and private markets through the issuance of equity and/or debt securities, and monetizing additional assets.

9


The Company's management cannot provide assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its proposed financing plans. Management also cannot provide any assurance as to unforeseen circumstances that could occur within the next twelve months or, if the Company raises capital, thereafter, which could increase the Company’s need to raise additional capital on an immediate basis, which capital may not be available to the Company.

Principles of consolidation

The accompanyingThese condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all entities in which the Company either has a controlling voting interest or is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. Information on the Company’s subsidiaries with noncontrolling interests is included in Note 21.22.

Variable interest entities

A variable interest entity (“VIE”) is an entity that does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or is structured such that equity investors lack the ability to control the entity’s activities or do not substantially participate in the gains and losses of the entity. Upon inception of a contractual agreement, and thereafter, if a reconsideration event occurs, the Company performs an assessment to determine whether the arrangement contains a variable interest in an entity and whether that entity is a VIE. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810 – Consolidations, where the Company concludes that it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company consolidates the accounts of that VIE.


Equity method investments

Investments accounted for using the equity method include those investments where the Company (i) can exercise significant influence over the other entity and (ii) holds common stock and/or in-substance common stock of the other entity. Under the equity method, investments are carried at cost, and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s share of net income (loss), comprehensive income (loss) and distributions received from the investee. If the current fair value of an investment falls below its carrying amount, this may indicate that an impairment loss should be recorded. Any impairment losses recognized are not reversed in subsequent periods. Refer to Note 9 for additional information on the Company’s investments accounted for using the equity method.

Use of estimates

The preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Share Consolidation

On December 13, 2023, the Company announced that the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) had approved the consolidation of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares on the basis of one post-consolidation common share for every 10 pre-consolidation common shares (the “Share Consolidation”). The Share Consolidation was implemented to ensure that the Company continues to comply with the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

The Share Consolidation was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the annual general and special meeting of shareholders held on September 25, 2023. The Share Consolidation became effective on December 15, 2023. No fractional common shares were issued in connection with the Share Consolidation. Any fractional common shares arising from the Share Consolidation were deemed to have been tendered by its registered owner to the Company for cancellation for no consideration. In addition, the exercise or conversion price and/or the number of common shares issuable under any of the Company’s outstanding convertible securities, were proportionately adjusted in connection with the Share Consolidation.

All issued and outstanding common shares, per share amounts, and outstanding equity instruments and awards exercisable into common shares, as well as the exchange ratios for the Fixed Shares (as defined below) and the Floating Shares (as defined below) in connection with the Acreage Amending Arrangement and the Floating Share Arrangement (as defined below), respectively, contained in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Share Consolidation for all prior periods presented.

Adoptiondisclosures have not been restated. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-132020-06, the Supreme Debentures (as defined below) will require financial institutionsbe accounted for under the separation model for a substantial premium instead of a beneficial conversion feature resulting in an increased debt discount to be amortized over the life of the instrument. The adoption of this guidance resulted in increased additional paid-in capital by $4,452, decreased long-term debt by $3,723, and other organizationsdecreased accumulated deficit by $729 for non-cash accretion expense prior to use forward-looking information to better formulate their credit loss estimates.

3. CANOPY USA

Reorganization - Creation of Canopy USA

On October 24, 2022, Canopy Growth completed a number of strategic transactions in connection with the creation of Canopy USA, LLC ("Canopy USA"), a new U.S.-domiciled holding company (the “Reorganization”). Following the implementation of the Reorganization, Canopy USA, as of October 24, 2022, holds certain U.S. cannabis investments previously held by Canopy Growth, which is expected to enable Canopy USA, following, among other things, the Meeting (as defined below) and the exercise of the Acreage Option (as defined below), including the issuance of the Fixed Shares to Canopy USA, to consummate the acquisitions of Acreage Holdings, Inc. ("Acreage"), Mountain High Products, LLC, Wana Wellness, LLC and The Cima Group, LLC (collectively, "Wana" and each, a "Wana Entity"), and Lemurian, Inc. ("Jetty"). There were no changes recorded in the estimated fair values of the U.S. cannabis investments described below upon implementation of the Reorganization, and their transfer from Canopy Growth to Canopy USA.

Following the implementation of the Reorganization, as of October 24, 2022, Canopy USA holds an ownership interest in the following assets, among others:


Wana - The options to acquire 100% of the membership interests of Wana (the "Wana Options"), a leading cannabis edibles brand in North America.
Jetty - The options to acquire 100% of the shares of Jetty (the "Jetty Options"), a California-based producer of high-quality cannabis extracts and pioneer of clean vape technology.

3.Canopy Growth currently retains the option to acquire the issued and outstanding Class E subordinate voting shares (the “Fixed Shares”) of Acreage (the “Acreage Option”), representing approximately 70% of the total shares of Acreage, at a fixed share exchange ratio of 0.03048 of a common share of Canopy Growth per Fixed Share. Concurrently with the closing of the acquisition of the Fixed Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Acreage Option, the Fixed Shares will be issued to Canopy USA. In addition, Canopy USA has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding Class D subordinate voting shares of Acreage (the “Floating Shares”) by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement (the “Floating Share Arrangement”) in exchange for 0.045 of a common share of Canopy Growth for each Floating Share held. Acreage is a leading vertically-integrated multi-state cannabis operator, with its main operations in densely populated states across the Northeast U.S. including New Jersey and New York.

In addition, as of October 24, 2022, Canopy USA held direct and indirect interests in the capital of TerrAscend Corp. (“TerrAscend”), a leading North American cannabis operator with vertically integrated operations and a presence in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Michigan and California as well as licensed cultivation and processing operations in Maryland. Canopy USA’s direct and indirect interests in TerrAscend included: (i) 38,890,570 exchangeable shares in the capital of TerrAscend (the “TerrAscend Exchangeable Shares”), an option to purchase 1,072,450 TerrAscend common shares (the “TerrAscend Common Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $1.00 (the “TerrAscend Option”) and 22,474,130 TerrAscend Common Share purchase warrants previously held by Canopy Growth (the “TerrAscend Warrants”); and (ii) the debentures and loan agreement between Canopy Growth and certain TerrAscend subsidiaries.

On December 9, 2022, Canopy USA and certain limited partnerships that are controlled by Canopy USA entered into a debt settlement agreement with TerrAscend, TerrAscend Canada Inc. and Arise BioScience, Inc., whereby $125,467 in aggregate loans, including accrued interest thereon, payable by certain subsidiaries of TerrAscend were extinguished and 22,474,130 TerrAscend Warrants, being all of the previously issued TerrAscend Warrants controlled by Canopy USA (the “Prior Warrants”) were cancelled in

11


exchange for: (i) 24,601,467 TerrAscend Exchangeable Shares at a notional price of $5.10 per TerrAscend Exchangeable Share; and (ii) 22,474,130 new TerrAscend Warrants (the "New Warrants" and, together with the TerrAscend Exchangeable Shares, the "New TerrAscend Securities") with a weighted average exercise price of $6.07 per TerrAscend Common Share and expiring on December 31, 2032. Following the issuance of the New TerrAscend Securities, Canopy USA beneficially owns: (i) 63,492,037 TerrAscend Exchangeable Shares; (ii) 22,474,130 New Warrants; and (iii) the TerrAscend Option. The TerrAscend Exchangeable Shares can be converted into TerrAscend Common Shares at Canopy USA's option, subject to the terms of the A&R Protection Agreement (as defined below).

Following the implementation of the Reorganization, Canopy USA was determined to be a variable interest entity pursuant to ASC 810 - Consolidations ("ASC 810") and prior to the completion of the Reorganization Amendments (as defined below), Canopy Growth was determined to be the primary beneficiary of Canopy USA. As a result of such determination and in accordance with ASC 810, Canopy Growth consolidated the financial results of Canopy USA.

Amendments to Canopy USA Structure

Following the creation of Canopy USA, the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") communicated its position to the Company stating that companies that consolidate “the assets and revenues generated from activities in violation under federal law cannot continue to list on Nasdaq”. Since the Company is committed to compliance with the listing requirements of the Nasdaq, the Company and Canopy USA effectuated certain changes to the initial structure of the Company’s interest in Canopy USA that were intended to facilitate the deconsolidation of the financial results of Canopy USA within the Company’s financial statements. These changes included, among other things, modifying the terms of the Protection Agreement between the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary and Canopy USA as well as the terms of Canopy USA’s limited liability company agreement and amending the terms of certain agreements with third-party investors in Canopy USA to eliminate any rights to guaranteed returns (collectively, the “Reorganization Amendments”).

On May 19, 2023, the Company and Canopy USA implemented the Reorganization Amendments, which included, entering into the First A&R Protection Agreement (as defined below) and amending and restating Canopy USA’s limited liability company agreement (the “A&R LLC Agreement”) in order to: (i) eliminate certain negative covenants that were previously granted by Canopy USA in favor of the Company as well as delegating to the managers of the Canopy USA Board (as defined below) not appointed by Canopy Growth the authority to approve the following key decisions (collectively, the “Key Decisions”): (a) the annual business plan of Canopy USA; (b) decisions regarding the executive officers of Canopy USA and any of its subsidiaries; (c) increasing the compensation, bonus levels or other benefits payable to any current, former or future employees or managers of Canopy USA or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any other executive compensation plan matters of Canopy USA or any of its subsidiaries; and (e) the exercise of the Wana Options or the Jetty Options, which for greater certainty means that the Company’s nominee on the Canopy USA Board will not be permitted to vote on any Key Decisions while the Company owns Non-Voting Shares (as defined below); (ii) reduce the number of managers on the Canopy USA Board from four to three, including, reducing the Company’s nomination right to a single manager; (iii) amend the share capital of Canopy USA to, among other things, (a) create a new class of Canopy USA Class B Shares (as defined below), which may not be issued prior to the conversion of the Non-Voting Shares or the Canopy USA Common Shares (as defined below) into Canopy USA Class B Shares; (b) amend the terms of the Non-Voting Shares such that the Non-Voting Shares will be convertible into Canopy USA Class B Shares (as opposed to Canopy USA Common Shares); and (c) amend the terms of the Canopy USA Common Shares such that upon conversion of all of the Non-Voting Shares into Canopy USA Class B Shares, the Canopy USA Common Shares will, subject to their terms, automatically convert into Canopy USA Class B Shares, provided that the number of Canopy USA Class B Shares to be issued to the former holders of the Canopy USA Common Shares will be equal to no less than 10% of the total issued and outstanding Canopy USA Class B Shares following such issuance. Accordingly, as a result of the Reorganization Amendments, in no circumstances will the Company, at the time of such conversions, own more than 90% of the Canopy USA Class B Shares.

In connection with the Reorganization Amendments, on May 19, 2023, Canopy USA and Huneeus 2017 Irrevocable Trust (the “Trust”) entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Trust SPA”), which sets out the terms of the Trust’s investment in Canopy USA in the aggregate amount of up to US$20 million (the "Trust Transaction"). Agustin Huneeus, Jr. is the trustee of the Trust and is an affiliate of a shareholder of Jetty. Pursuant to the terms of the Trust SPA, the Trust will, subject to certain terms and conditions contained in the Trust SPA be issued Canopy USA Common Shares in two tranches with an aggregate value of up to US$10 million along with warrants of Canopy USA to acquire additional Canopy USA Common Shares. In addition, subject to the terms of the Trust SPA, the Trust has also been granted options to acquire additional Voting Shares (as defined in the A&R LLC Agreement) with a value of up to an additional US$10 million and one such additional option includes the issuance of additional warrants of Canopy USA.

In addition, subject to the terms and conditions of the A&R Protection Agreement and the terms of the option agreements to acquire Wana and Jetty, as applicable, Canopy Growth may be required to issue additional common shares in satisfaction of certain deferred and/or option exercise payments to the shareholders of Wana and Jetty. Canopy Growth will receive additional Non-Voting Shares from Canopy USA as consideration for any Company common shares issued in the future to the shareholders of Wana and Jetty.

12


On November 3, 2023, the Company received a letter from the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) in which the Staff indicated that, despite the Reorganization Amendments, it would object to the deconsolidation of the financial results of Canopy USA from the Company's financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP once Canopy USA acquires Wana, Jetty or the Fixed Shares of Acreage. The Company subsequently had discussions with the Office of Chief Accountant of the SEC (the "OCA") and determined to make certain additional amendments to the structure of Canopy USA (the “Additional Reorganization Amendments”) to facilitate the deconsolidation of Canopy USA from the financial results of Canopy Growth in accordance with U.S. GAAP upon Canopy USA’s acquisition of Wana, Jetty or Acreage. In that regard, the Company filed a revised preliminary proxy statement with the SEC on each of January 25, 2024 and February 5, 2024 in connection with the Amendment Proposal (as defined below) that discloses these Additional Reorganization Amendments. In connection with the Additional Reorganization Amendments, Canopy USA and its members expect to enter into a second amended and restated limited liability company agreement (the “Second A&R LLC Agreement”) immediately prior to the completion of the first tranche closing of the Trust Transaction. Upon the effective date of the Second A&R LLC Agreement, the terms of the Non-Voting Shares will be amended such that the Non-Voting Shares will only be convertible into Canopy USA Class B Shares following the date that the NASDAQ Stock Market or The New York Stock Exchange permit the listing of companies that consolidate the financial statements of companies that cultivate, distribute or possess marijuana (as defined in 21 U.S.C 802) in the United States (the “Triggering Event Date”). Based on the Company’s discussions with the OCA, upon effectuating the Additional Reorganization Amendments, the Company believes that the Staff would not object to the deconsolidation of the financial results of Canopy USA from the Company’s financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP once Canopy USA acquires Wana, Jetty or the Fixed Shares of Acreage.

Ownership of U.S. Cannabis Investments

Following the implementation of the Reorganization, the shares and interests in Acreage, Wana, Jetty and TerrAscend are held, directly or indirectly, by Canopy USA, and Canopy Growth no longer holds a direct interest in any shares or interests in such entities, other than the Acreage Option. Canopy Growth holds non-voting and non-participating shares (the “Non-Voting Shares”) in the capital of Canopy USA. The Non-Voting Shares do not carry voting rights, rights to receive dividends or other rights upon dissolution of Canopy USA. Following the Reorganization Amendments, the Non-Voting Shares are convertible into Class B shares of Canopy USA (the “Canopy USA Class B Shares”), provided that following the execution of the Second A&R LLC Agreement, such conversion shall only be permitted following the Triggering Event Date. The Company also has the right (regardless of the fact that its Non-Voting Shares are non-voting and non-participating) to appoint one member to the Canopy USA board of managers (the "Canopy USA Board").

As of December 31, 2023, a third party investor owned all of the issued and outstanding Class A shares of Canopy USA (the “Canopy USA Common Shares”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company holds Non-Voting Shares in the capital of Canopy USA, representing approximately more than 99% of the issued and outstanding shares in Canopy USA on an as-converted basis.

On October 24, 2022, Canopy USA and the Company also entered into an agreement with, among others, Nancy Whiteman, the controlling shareholder of Wana, which was amended and restated on May 19, 2023, whereby subsidiaries of Canopy USA agreed to pay additional consideration in order to acquire the Wana Options and the future payments owed in connection with the exercise of the Wana Options (as described in Note 11) will be reduced to US$3.00 in exchange for the issuance of Canopy USA Common Shares and Canopy Growth common shares (the “Wana Amending Agreement”). In accordance with the terms of the Wana Amending Agreement, Canopy USA Common Shares and Canopy Growth common shares will be issued to the shareholders of Wana, each with a value equal to 7.5% of the fair market value of Wana as of the later of: (i) the date that the Wana Options are exercised; and (ii) the closing date of the first tranche of the Trust Transaction (the “Wana Valuation Date”) less any net debt of Wana as of the Wana Valuation Date plus any net cash of Wana as of Wana Valuation Date. The value of Wana and the number of Canopy USA Common Shares will be determined based on the fair market value of Wana and the Canopy USA Common Shares, respectively, as determined by an appraiser appointed by the Company and an appraiser appointed by the shareholders of Wana (and, if required, a third appraiser to be appointed by the initial two appraisers). The Canopy USA Common Shares and Canopy Growth common shares will only be issued to Ms. Whiteman, or entities controlled by Ms. Whiteman, on the later of: (i) the date of exercise of the Wana Options and (ii) the date that CBG Holdings LLC (“CBG”) and Greenstar Canada Investment Limited Partnership (“Greenstar”), indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Constellation Brands, Inc. (“CBI”), have converted their Canopy Growth common shares into Exchangeable Shares. The Wana Amending Agreement may be terminated and no Canopy USA Common Shares or Canopy Growth common shares will be issued to Ms. Whiteman, or entities controlled by Ms. Whiteman in the event that CBG and Greenstar have not converted their Canopy Growth common shares into Exchangeable Shares by the later of: (i) sixty days after the Meeting; or (ii) December 31, 2023. The Canopy USA Common Shares issuable to Ms. Whiteman, or entities controlled by Ms. Whiteman, will also be subject to a repurchase right exercisable at any time after the 36 month anniversary of the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Wana Amending Agreement (the “Wana Repurchase Right”) to repurchase all Canopy USA Common Shares that have been issued at a price per Canopy USA Common Share equal to the fair market value as determined by an appraiser. As part of this agreement, Canopy USA has granted Ms. Whiteman the right to appoint one member to the Canopy USA Board and a put right on the same terms and conditions as the Wana Repurchase Right.

Canopy Growth and Canopy USA have also entered into a protection agreement (the "Protection Agreement") to provide for certain covenants in order to preserve the value of the Non-Voting Shares held by Canopy Growth until such time as the Non-Voting

13


Shares are converted in accordance with their terms, provided that following the execution of the Second A&R LLC Agreement, such conversion shall only be permitted following the Triggering Event Date, but does not provide Canopy Growth with the ability to direct the business, operations or activities of Canopy USA. The Protection Agreement was amended and restated in connection with: (a) the Reorganization Amendments (the “First A&R Protection Agreement”); and (b) the Additional Reorganization Amendments (the “Second A&R Protection Agreement” and together with the First A&R Protection Agreement, the “A&R Protection Agreement”).

Upon closing of Canopy USA’s acquisition of Acreage, Canopy Growth will receive additional Non-Voting Shares from Canopy USA in consideration for the issuance of common shares of the Company that shareholders of Acreage will receive in accordance with the terms of the Existing Acreage Arrangement Agreement (as defined below) and the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement (as defined below).

Until such time as Canopy Growth converts the Non-Voting Shares into Canopy USA Class B Shares following the Triggering Event Date, Canopy Growth will have no economic or voting interest in Canopy USA, Wana, Jetty, TerrAscend, or Acreage. Canopy USA, Wana, Jetty, TerrAscend, and Acreage will continue to operate independently of Canopy Growth.

Acreage Agreements

On October 24, 2022, Canopy Growth entered into an arrangement agreement with Canopy USA and Acreage, as amended (the “Floating Share Arrangement Agreement”), pursuant to which, subject to approval of the holders of the Floating Shares and the terms and conditions of the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement, Canopy USA will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Floating Shares by way of a court-approved plan on arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “Floating Share Arrangement”) in exchange for 0.045 of a Company common share for each Floating Share held. In connection with the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement, Canopy Growth has irrevocably waived the Acreage Floating Option (as defined below) existing under the Existing Acreage Arrangement Agreement.

On October 24, 2022, the Company and Canopy USA entered into a third amendment to tax receivable agreement (the “Amended TRA”) with, among others, certain current or former unitholders (the “Holders”) of High Street Capital Partners, LLC, a subsidiary of Acreage (“HSCP”), pursuant to HSCP’s amended tax receivable agreement (the “TRA”) and related tax receivable bonus plans with Acreage. Pursuant to the Amended TRA, the Company, on behalf of Canopy USA, agreed to issue common shares of the Company with a value of US$30.4 million to certain Holders as consideration for the assignment of such Holder’s rights under the TRA to Canopy USA. As a result of the Amended TRA, Canopy USA is the sole member and beneficiary under the TRA. In connection with the foregoing, the Company issued: (i) 564,893 common shares with a value of $20.6 million (US$15.2 million) to certain Holders on November 4, 2022 as the first installment under the Amended TRA; and (ii) 710,208 common shares with a value of $20.6 million (US$15.2 million) to certain Holders on March 17, 2023, as the second installment under the Amended TRA. The Company, on behalf of Canopy USA, also agreed to issue common shares of the Company with a value of approximately US$19.6 million to certain eligible participants pursuant to HSCP’s existing tax receivable bonus plans to be issued immediately prior to completion of the Floating Share Arrangement.

On October 24, 2022, Canopy Growth and Canopy USA entered into voting support agreements with certain of Acreage’s directors, officers and consultants pursuant to which such persons have agreed, among other things, to vote their Floating Shares in favor of the Floating Share Arrangement, representing approximately 7.3% of the issued and outstanding Floating Shares.

In addition to shareholder and court approvals, the Floating Share Arrangement is subject to approval of the Amendment Proposal (as defined below) and applicable regulatory approvals including, but not limited to, Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) approval and the satisfaction of certain other closing conditions customary in transactions of this nature. The Floating Share Arrangement received the requisite approval from the holders of Floating Shares at the special meeting of Acreage shareholders held on March 15, 2023 and on March 20, 2023 Acreage obtained a final order from the Supreme Court of British Columbia approving the Floating Share Arrangement. The Floating Share Arrangement Agreement has been amended several times to extend the Exercise Outside Date (as defined in the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement), which was initially March 31, 2023. The most recent amendment to the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement extended the Exercise Outside Date to March 31, 2024. The completion of the Floating Share Arrangement is subject to satisfaction or, if permitted, waiver of certain closing conditions, including, among others, approval of the Amendment Proposal on or prior to the Exercise Outside Date.

It is intended that Canopy Growth’s existing option to acquire the Fixed Shares on the basis of 0.03048 of a Company common share per Fixed Share will be exercised after the Meeting in accordance with the terms of the arrangement agreement dated April 18, 2019, as amended on May 15, 2019, September 23, 2020 and November 17, 2020 (the “Existing Acreage Arrangement Agreement”). Canopy Growth will not hold any Fixed Shares or Floating Shares. Completion of the acquisition of the Fixed Shares following exercise of the Acreage Option is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Existing Acreage Arrangement Agreement. The acquisition of the Floating Shares pursuant to the Floating Share Arrangement is anticipated to occur immediately prior to the acquisition of the Fixed Shares pursuant to the Existing Acreage Arrangement Agreement such that 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Acreage will be owned by Canopy USA on closing of the acquisition of both the Fixed Shares and the Floating Shares.

14


On November 15, 2022, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Canopy Growth (the “Acreage Debt Optionholder”) and Acreage’s existing lenders (the “Lenders”) entered into an option agreement, which superseded the letter agreement dated October 24, 2022 between the parties, pursuant to which the Acreage Debt Optionholder was granted the right to purchase the outstanding principal, including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, of Acreage’s debt, being an amount up to US$150.0 million (the “Acreage Debt”) from the Lenders in exchange for an option premium payment of $38.0 million (US$28.5 million) (the “Option Premium”), which was deposited into an escrow account on November 17, 2022. The Acreage Debt Optionholder has the right to exercise the option at its discretion, and if the option is exercised, the Option Premium will be used to reduce the purchase price to be paid for the outstanding Acreage Debt. In the event that Acreage repays the Acreage Debt on or prior to maturity, the Option Premium will be returned to the Acreage Debt Optionholder. In the event that Acreage defaults on the Acreage Debt and the Acreage Debt Optionholder does not exercise its option to acquire the Acreage Debt, the Option Premium will be released to the Lenders.

Special Shareholder Meeting

In connection with the Reorganization, Canopy Growth expects to hold a special meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”) at which Canopy Growth shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed appropriate, to pass a special resolution authorizing an amendment to its articles of incorporation, as amended (the “Amendment Proposal”), in order to: (i) create and authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of a new class of non-voting and non-participating exchangeable shares in the capital of Canopy Growth (the “Exchangeable Shares”); and (ii) restate the rights of the Company’s common shares to provide for a conversion feature whereby each common share may at any time, at the option of the holder, be converted into one Exchangeable Share. The Exchangeable Shares will not carry voting rights, rights to receive dividends or other rights upon dissolution of Canopy Growth but will be convertible into common shares.

The Amendment Proposal must be approved by at least 66⅔% of the votes cast on a special resolution by Canopy Growth’s shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting.

On October 24, 2022, CBG and Greenstar entered into a voting and support agreement with Canopy Growth (the “Voting and Support Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Voting and Support Agreement, CBG and Greenstar agreed, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, among other things, to vote all of the Canopy Growth common shares beneficially owned, directed or controlled, directly or indirectly, by them for the Amendment Proposal.

In the event the Amendment Proposal is approved, and subject to the conversion by CBI of their Canopy Growth common shares into Exchangeable Shares, Canopy USA is expected to exercise the Wana Options and the Jetty Options. In the event the Amendment Proposal is not approved, Canopy USA will not be permitted to exercise its rights to acquire shares of Wana or Jetty and the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement will be terminated. In such circumstances, Canopy will retain the Acreage Option under the Existing Acreage Arrangement Agreement and Canopy USA will continue to hold the Wana Options and the Jetty Options, as well as the TerrAscend Exchangeable Shares and other securities in the capital of TerrAscend. In addition, the Company is contractually required to cause Canopy USA to exercise its repurchase right to acquire the Canopy USA Common Shares held by the third party investors.

Relationship with CBI

In connection with the Reorganization, CBI has indicated its current intention to convert all of its common shares of the Company into Exchangeable Shares, conditional upon the approval of the Amendment Proposal. However, any decision to convert will be made by CBI in its sole discretion, and CBI is not obligated to effect any such conversion.

In connection with the foregoing, on October 24, 2022, Canopy Growth entered into a consent agreement with CBG and Greenstar (the “Third Consent Agreement”), pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things, that following the conversion by CBG and Greenstar of their respective Canopy Growth common shares into Exchangeable Shares, other than the Third Consent Agreement and the termination rights contained therein and the 4.25% unsecured senior notes due in 2023 (the "Canopy Notes") held by Greenstar, all agreements between Canopy Growth and CBI, including the Second Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of April 18, 2019, by and among certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of CBI and Canopy Growth (the “Second Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement”), will be terminated. Pursuant to the terms of the Third Consent Agreement, CBG and Greenstar also agreed, among other things, that at the time of the conversion by CBG and Greenstar of their Canopy Growth common shares into Exchangeable Shares, (i) CBG will surrender the warrants held by CBG to purchase 13,974,545 common shares for cancellation for no consideration; and (ii) all nominees of CBI that are currently sitting on the Board will resign from the Board. In addition, pursuant to the Third Consent Agreement and following the Reorganization Amendments, Canopy Growth is contractually required to convert its Non-Voting Shares into Canopy USA Class B Shares, provided that following the execution of the Second A&R LLC Agreement, such conversion shall only be permitted following the Triggering Event Date, and cause Canopy USA to repurchase the Canopy USA Common Shares held by certain third-party investors in Canopy USA in the event CBG and Greenstar have not converted their respective common shares into Exchangeable Shares by sixty days after the Meeting (the “Termination Date”). The Third Consent Agreement will automatically terminate on the Termination Date.

In the event that CBI does not convert its Canopy Growth common shares into Exchangeable Shares, Canopy USA will not be permitted to exercise its rights to acquire the Fixed Shares from the Company or exercise its rights under the Wana Options or Jetty

15


Options, and the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement will be terminated. In such circumstances, Canopy Growth will retain the Acreage Option under the Existing Acreage Arrangement Agreement and Canopy USA will continue to hold the Wana Options and the Jetty Options, as well as the TerrAscend Exchangeable Shares and other securities in the capital of TerrAscend. If CBI does not convert its Canopy Growth common shares into Exchangeable Shares, the Company is also contractually required to cause Canopy USA to exercise its repurchase right to acquire the Canopy USA Common Shares held by the third party investors.

4. BIOSTEEL

On September 14, 2023, following a review of the strategic options for the BioSteel business unit, Canopy Growth ceased funding the operations of BioSteel Sports Nutrition Inc. ("BioSteel Canada") and commenced proceedings (the "CCAA Proceedings") under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (the "CCAA") in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) (the "CCAA Court") and sought and obtained recognition of that proceeding under Chapter 15 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. To assist with the sale process, the Court approved the appointment of a monitor.

As a result of the CCAA Proceedings, the most relevant activity of BioSteel Canada became the liquidation and sale of assets. Management concluded that Canopy Growth ceased to have the power to direct the relevant activity of BioSteel Canada because the liquidation and sale transactions required approval from the CCAA Court. Thus, Canopy Growth no longer has a controlling interest in BioSteel Canada and has deconsolidated the entity effective September 14, 2023. The deconsolidation of BioSteel Canada and related impairment charges are classified under losses from discontinued operations.

The strategic decisions made encompassed all operations of the BioSteel business unit, including those of BioSteel Canada. For this reason, the BioSteel segment results for all periods prior to the September 14, 2023 deconsolidation of BioSteel Canada, including costs to exit, are classified as discontinued operations.

On November 16, 2023, BioSteel Sports Nutrition USA LLC ("BioSteel US") and BioSteel Manufacturing LLC ("BioSteel Manufacturing" and collectively with BioSteel Canada and BioSteel US, the “BioSteel Entities”) were added as additional applicants in the CCAA Proceedings. As a result, the most relevant activity of both entities became the liquidation and sale of assets and distribution of cash and proceeds to their respective stakeholders and management concluded that Canopy Growth ceased to have the power to direct the relevant activities of BioSteel US and BioSteel Manufacturing because those activities required approval from the CCAA Court. Thus, Canopy Growth no longer has a controlling interest in either entity and has deconsolidated both entities effective November 16, 2023. The deconsolidation of BioSteel US and BioSteel Manufacturing and related impairment charges are classified under losses from discontinued operations.

Investment in BioSteel Entities

Canopy Growth continues to have a 90.4% ownership interest in BioSteel Canada and 100% ownership interests in each of BioSteel US and BioSteel Manufacturing, but has deconsolidated the BioSteel Entities because it no longer has a controlling interest in them. Since the estimated amount of the liabilities of the BioSteel Entities exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets available for distribution to its creditors, the fair value of Canopy Growth's equity investment in the BioSteel Entities approximates zero.

Canopy Growth's Amounts Receivable from BioSteel Entities

Prior to Canopy Growth's deconsolidation of BioSteel Canada, Canopy Growth made significant secured loans to BioSteel Canada for purposes of funding its operations. The secured loans and corresponding interest were considered intercompany transactions and eliminated in Canopy Growth's consolidated financial statements prior to September 14, 2023, being the deconsolidation date. As of the deconsolidation date, the secured loans and corresponding interest are now considered related party transactions and have been recognized in Canopy Growth's consolidated financial statements at their estimated fair value of $29,000.

As of the deconsolidation date for BioSteel US and BioSteel Manufacturing, Canopy Growth has recorded remaining amounts legally receivable from BioSteel US and BioSteel Manufacturing at their estimated fair value.

The remaining amounts legally receivable from the BioSteel Entities are measured at their expected recoverable amounts. The assets and liabilities related to the BioSteel Entities business units are classified as discontinued operations and the major categories are as follows:

The carrying value of goodwill associated with the Storz & Bickel reporting unit was $85,237 at December 31, 2023.

14.The Company is required to perform its next annual goodwill impairment analysis on March 31, 2024, or earlier should there be an event that occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.

The first payment, which was oversubscribed, in the amount of $117,528 (US$87,852) was made on November 10, 2022 to reduce the principal indebtedness under the Credit Facility by $126,324 (US$94,427). The second payment of $116,847 (US$87,213) was made on April 17, 2023 to reduce principal indebtedness under the Credit Agreement by $125,606 (US$93,750). Additionally, on October 24, 2022, the Company and certain of its lenders agreed to make certain amendments to the Credit Agreement which, among other things, resulted in: (i) a reduction to the minimum liquidity covenant to no less than US$100,000 following completion of the second principal repurchase on April 17, 2023; (ii) certain changes to the application of net proceeds from asset sales; (iii) the establishment of a new committed delayed draw term credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of US$100,000; and (iv) the elimination of the additional US$500,000 incremental term loan facility.

The Amended Credit Agreement also includes, among other things, amendments to the minimum liquidity covenant such that the US$100,000 minimum liquidity covenant ceased to apply concurrently with the July 2023 Paydown. The Company made the July 2023 Paydown on July 21, 2023.

On each of August 11, 2023 and September 14, 2023, pursuant to the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company repurchased additional outstanding principal amounts under the Credit Facility using certain net proceeds from completed asset sales (the "Second Quarter 2024 Paydowns"). The Second Quarter 2024 Paydowns resulted in an aggregate principal reduction of $73,313 (US$54,491) for a cash payment of $69,647 (US$51,766).

On each of November 28, 2023 and December 27, 2023, pursuant to the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company repurchased and repaid, as applicable, additional outstanding principal amounts under the Credit Facility using certain net proceeds from completed asset sales (the "Third Quarter 2024 Paydowns"). The Third Quarter 2024 Paydowns resulted in an aggregate principal reduction of $65,379 (US$48,532) for a cash payment of $63,167 (US$46,902).

The Amended Credit Facility continues to mature on March 18, 2026 and through December 26, 2023, had an interest rate of LIBOR + 8.50%. After December 26, 2023, interest on amounts outstanding under the Amended Credit Facility is calculated at either the applicable prime rate plus 7.50% per annum, subject to a prime rate floor of 2.00%, or adjusted term SOFR plus 8.50% per annum, subject to an adjusted term SOFR floor of 1.00%.

The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its material wholly-owned Canadian and U.S. subsidiaries, including material real property. The Credit Agreement contains representations and warranties, and affirmative and negative covenants.

CANOPY RIVERS SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN

Seed Capital Options

On May 12, 2017, seed capital options were issued. These seed capital options consisted of 10,066,668 shares that were issued by way of share purchase loans. Since they were issued through loans, they are not considered issued for accounting purposes until the loan is repaid. The seed capital options were measured at fair value on May 12, 2017, using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and will be expensed over their vesting period. Where there are performance conditions in addition to service requirements Canopy Rivers has estimated the number of shares it expects to vest and is amortizing the expense over the expected vesting period.

22.23. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value measurements are made using a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value:

Level 1 – defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2 – defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
Level 3 – defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

Level 1 defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2 defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

Level 3 defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety by reference to its lowest level of significant input.

The Company records cash, accounts receivable, interest receivable and accounts payable, and other accrued expenses and liabilities at cost. The carrying values of these instruments approximate their fair value due to their short-term maturities. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring basis may include items such as property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets, equity and other investments and other assets. We determineThe Company determines the fair value of these items using Level 3 inputs, as described in the related sections below.

26. INCOME TAXES

There have been no material changes to income tax matters in connection with normal course operations during the threenine months ended June 30, 2020.December 31, 2023.

The Company is subject to income tax in numerous jurisdictions with varying income tax rates. During the most recent period ended and the fiscal year to date, there were no material changes to the statutory income tax rates in the taxing jurisdictions where the majority of the Company’s income for tax purposes was earned, or where its temporary differences or losses are expected to be realized or settled. Although statutory income tax rates remain stable, the Company’s effective income tax rate may fluctuate, arising as a result of the Company’s evolving footprint, discrete transactions and other factors that, to the extent material, are disclosed in these financial statements.

The Company continues to believe that the amount of unrealized tax benefits appropriately reflects the uncertainty of items that are or may in the future be under discussion, audit, dispute or appeal with a tax authority or which otherwise result in uncertainty in the determination of income for tax purposes. If appropriate, an unrealized tax benefit will be realized in the reporting period in which the Company determines that realization is not in doubt. Where the final determined outcome is different from the Company’s estimate, such difference will impact the Company’s income taxes in the reporting period during which such determination is made.

The foregoing exchange ratio for the Floating Shares is subject to adjustment in accordance with the Acreage Amended Arrangement if Acreage issues greater than the permitted number of Floating Shares. The acquisition of the Floating Shares, if acquired, will take place concurrently with the closing of the acquisition of the Fixed Shares;

The new Class D subordinated voting shares (the “Floating Shares”) will be listed on the CSE.

The foregoing exchange ratio for the Floating Shares is subject to adjustment in accordance with the Amended Arrangement if Acreage issues greater than the permitted number of Floating Shares.

At December 31, 2023, the right and the obligation to: (i) acquire the Fixed Shares pursuant to the Existing Acreage Arrangement Agreement; and (ii) acquire the Floating Shares pursuant to the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement (together, the “Acreage financial instrumentinstrument”), represents a financial liabilityasset of $285,000$33,000 (March 31, 20202023$250,000), as$55,382 asset). At December 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of the Acreage business is lessmore than the estimated fair value of the consideration to be provided upon the exercise of the Acreage financial instrument. Fair value changes of $35,000 (three months ended June 30, 2019 – $nil) wereon the Acreage financial instrument are recognized in other income (expense), net in the three months ended June 30, 2020 (seenet; see Note 24).25. The fair value determination includes a high degree of subjectivity and judgment, which results in significant estimation uncertainty. See Note 2223 for additional details on how the fair value of the Acreage financial instrument is calculated on a recurring basis. From a measurement perspective, Canopy Growththe Company has elected the fair value option under ASC 825 - Financial Instruments("ASC 825").

In connection with the Acreage Amended Arrangement, on September 23, 2020, an affiliate of the Company advanced US$50,000 ($66,995) to Universal Hemp, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Acreage (“Acreage Hempco”) pursuant to a secured debenture (“Hempco Debenture”). In accordance with the terms of the Hempco Debenture, the funds advanced to Acreage Hempco cannot be used, directly or indirectly, in connection with or for any cannabis or cannabis-related operations in the United States, unless and until such operations comply with all applicable laws of the United States. The Hempco Debenture bears interest at a rate of 6.1% per annum and matures on September 23, 2030, or such earlier date in accordance with the terms of the Hempco Debenture. All interest payments made pursuant to the Hempco Debenture are payable in cash by Acreage Hempco. The Hempco Debenture is not convertible and is not guaranteed by Acreage. In connection with the Reorganization, as described in Note 3, on October 24, 2022, the Company transferred the Hempco Debenture to Canopy USA.

The amount advanced on September 23, 2020 pursuant to the Hempco Debenture has been recorded in other financial assets (see Note 11), and the Company has elected the fair value option under ASC 825 (see Note 23). At December 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of the Hempco Debenture issued to an affiliate of the Company by Acreage Hempco was $12,978 (March 31, 2023 –

34


$29,262), measured using a discounted cash flow model (see Note 23). Refer to Note 11 for details on fair value changes, foreign currency translation adjustment, and anticipated interest to be received. An additional US$50,000 may be advanced pursuant to the Hempco Debenture subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions by Acreage Hempco.

Amendment to the CBI Investor Rights Agreement and warrants

On April 18, 2019, certain wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiaries of CBI and Canopy Growth entered into a second amendedthe Second Amended and restated investor rights agreementRestated Investor Rights Agreement (the "Amended Investor Rights Agreement") and a consent agreement. In connection with these agreements, on June 27, 2019, Canopy Growth (i) extended the term of the first tranche of warrants, which allow CBI to acquire 88.58.85 million additional shares of Canopy Growth for a fixed price of $50.40$504.00 per share (the “Tranche A Warrants”), to November 1, 2023;2023; and (ii) replaced the second tranche of warrants with two new tranches of warrants (the “Tranche B Warrants” and the “Tranche C Warrants”) as follows:

the Tranche B Warrants were exercisable to acquire 3.85 million common shares at a price of C$766.80 per common share; and
the Tranche C Warrants were exercisable to acquire 1.28 million common shares at a price equal to the 5-day volume-weighted average price of the common shares immediately prior to exercise.

the Tranche B Warrants are exercisable to acquire 38.5 million common shares at a price of C$76.68 per common share; and

the Tranche C Warrants are exercisable to acquire 12.8 million common shares at a price equal to the 5-day volume-weighted average price of the common shares immediately prior to exercise.

In connection with the Tranche B Warrants and the Tranche C Warrants, Canopy Growth willagreed to provide CBI with a share repurchase credit of up to $1.583$1.583 billion on the aggregate exercise price of the Tranche B Warrants and Tranche C Warrants in the event that Canopy Growth does not purchase for cancellation the lesser of (i) 27,378,8662,737,886 common shares,shares; and (ii) common shares with a value of $1.583$1.583 billion, during the period commencing on April 18, 2019 and ending on the date that is 24 months after the date that CBI exercises all of the Tranche A Warrants. The share repurchase credit feature is accounted for as a derivative liability, with the fair value continuing to be $nil at June 30, 2020.

The modifications to the Tranche A Warrants resulted in them meeting the definition of a derivative instrument under ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). They continue to bewere classified in equity as the number of shares and exercise price were both fixed at inception.

The Tranche B Warrants arewere accounted for as derivative instruments (the “warrant derivative liability”) measured at fair value in accordance with ASC 815. At June 30, 2020,

On November 1, 2023, the fair valueTranche A Warrants expired in accordance with their terms without having been exercised. In accordance with the terms of the warrant derivativeTranche B Warrants and Tranche C Warrants, the vesting of the remaining Tranche B Warrants and Tranche C Warrants, as applicable, is conditioned on the exercise, in full, of the Tranche A Warrants. Accordingly, the Tranche B Warrants and Tranche C Warrants are not, and will not become, exercisable and are considered expired as of November 1, 2023.

As described in Note 3, in connection with the Reorganization, the Company entered into the Third Consent Agreement, pursuant to which CBG and Greenstar agreed, among other things, that in the event that CBG and Greenstar convert their ownership in the Company's common shares into Exchangeable Shares, CBG will surrender the warrants held by CBG to purchase 13,974,545 common shares of the Company for cancellation for no consideration. In addition, following such conversion by CBG and Greenstar of their common shares into Exchangeable Shares, other than the Third Consent Agreement and the termination rights contained therein and the CBI Note (as defined below), all agreements between the Company and CBI will terminate, including the Amended Investor Rights Agreement. In such circumstances it is expected that the CBI nominees that are currently sitting on the Board will resign as directors of the Company following the termination of the Amended Investor Rights Agreement.

In addition, since our non-production workforce continues to effectively work remotely using various technology tools, we are able to maintain our full operations and internal controls over financial reporting and disclosures.

We temporarily closed our Tweed and Tokyo Smoke retail stores beginning in mid-March in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Upon re-opening, beginning in mid-April, our retail stores largely operated with reduced hours and under a “click-and-collect” model with curbside pickup or delivery. As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report, all 22 of our corporate-owned retail stores are open and offering click-and-collect and in-store shopping. Our Canadian medical business, which operates as an ecommerce channel, has continued largely unchanged. Our international medical business operates primarily as a pharmacy model, with pharmacies being deemed essential businesses in Germany and other European countries in which we conduct business.

Given the uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, including those related to the use of our products by consumers, disruptions to the global and local economies due to related stay-at-home orders, quarantine policies and restrictions on travel, trade and business operations and a reduction in discretionary consumer spending, we are unable to estimate the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and/or cash flows. We expect the COVID-19 pandemic to continue to negatively affect our results of operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and, if the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue, our results so long as the measures used to contain the pandemic remain in effect. We believe we have sufficient liquidity available from cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments on hand of $975.9 million and $1.1 billion, respectively at June 30, 2020, and from available capacity under our revolving debt facility to enable us to meet our working capital and other operating requirements, fund growth initiatives and capital expenditures, settle our liabilities, and repay scheduled principal and interest payments on debt. Refer to “Part 3 – Financial Liquidity and Capital Resources” for further information.

Recent Developments

On June 24, 2020, we entered into a proposal agreement (the “Proposal Agreement”) with Acreage to amend the terms of the Existing Arrangement made pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement between us and Acreage dated April 18, 2019, as amended on May 15, 2019. Pursuant to the terms of the Existing Arrangement, shareholders of Acreage and holders of certain securities convertible into Existing SVS (as defined below) as of June 26, 2019, received an immediate aggregate total payment of US$300.0 million ($395.2 million) in exchange for granting Canopy Growth both the right and the obligation (the “Acreage financial instrument”) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Acreage following the occurrence or waiver of the Triggering Event and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set out in the Arrangement Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Proposal Agreement, the Existing Arrangement will be amended (the “Amended Arrangement”) to provide for, among other things, the following:

A capital reorganization of Acreage (the “Capital Reorganization”) pursuant to which Acreage will amend its Notice of Articles and Articles to, among other things, create the Fixed Shares (as defined below), the Floating Shares (as defined below) and the Fixed Multiple Shares (as defined below) and remove the existing Acreage subordinated voting shares (the “Existing SVS”), the existing Acreage proportionate voting shares (the “Existing PVS”) and the existing Acreage multiple voting shares (the “Existing MVS”). Pursuant to the Capital Reorganization (i) each outstanding Existing SVS will be exchanged for 0.7 of a Fixed Share and 0.3 of a Floating Share; (ii) each outstanding Existing PVS will be exchanged for 28 Fixed Shares and 12 Floating Shares; and (iii) each outstanding Existing MVS will be exchanged for 0.7 of a Fixed Multiple Share and 0.3 of a Floating Share;

The new Class E subordinated voting shares (the “Fixed Shares”) will have the same attributes as the Existing SVS and will be listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”). Following the occurrence or waiver (at the discretion of Canopy Growth) of the Triggering Event and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set out in the Arrangement Agreement (as modified in connection with the Amended Arrangement), Canopy Growth will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Fixed Shares based on an amended exchange ratio equal to 0.3048 of a common share to be received for each Fixed Share held (reduced from 0.5818 per Existing SVS pursuant to the Existing Agreement). The foregoing exchange ratio for the Fixed Shares is subject to adjustment in accordance with the Amended Arrangement if, among other things, Acreage issues greater than the permitted number of Fixed Shares;

The new Class D subordinated voting shares (the “Floating Shares”) will be listed on the CSE. Upon the occurrence or waiver (at the discretion of Canopy Growth) of the Triggering Event, Canopy Growth will have the right exercisable for a period of 30 days, to acquire all of the issued and outstanding Floating Shares for cash or common shares or a combination thereof, in Canopy Growth’s sole discretion at a price equal to the 30-day volume weighted average trading price of the Floating Shares on the CSE, subject to a minimum call price of US$6.41 per Floating Share. The foregoing exchange ratio for the Floating Shares is subject to adjustment in accordance with the Amended Arrangement if Acreage issues greater than


the permitted number of Floating Shares. The acquisition of the Floating Shares, if acquired, will take place concurrently with the closing of the acquisition of the Fixed Shares;

The new Class F multiple voting shares (the “Fixed Multiple Shares”) will have the same attributes as the Existing MVS, provided that each Fixed Multiple Share will entitle the holder thereof to 4,300 votes per share at shareholder meetings of Acreage. Immediately prior to the acquisition of the Fixed Shares, each issued and outstanding Fixed Multiple Share will automatically be exchanged for one Fixed Share and thereafter be acquired by Canopy Growth upon the same terms and conditions as the acquisition of the Fixed Shares;

If the occurrence or waiver of the Triggering Event does not occur within 10 years from the date the Amended Arrangement is implemented, Canopy Growth’s rights to acquire both the Fixed Shares and the Floating Shares will terminate;

Upon implementation of the Amended Arrangement, Canopy Growth will make a cash payment to the shareholders of Acreage and holders of certain securities convertible into Existing SVS in the aggregate amount of US$37.5 million; and

Acreage is only permitted to issue an aggregate of up to 32,700,000 Fixed Shares and Floating Shares following the implementation of the Amended Arrangement.

Canopy Growth has also agreed to loan a wholly-owned subsidiary of Acreage (“Acreage Hempco”) up to US$100.0 million pursuant to a secured debenture, of which US$50.0 million will be subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions by Acreage Hempco. The secured debenture will bear interest at a rate of 6.1% per annum, and mature 10 years from the date the Amended Arrangement is implemented or such earlier date in accordance with the terms of the secured debenture. As at June 30, 2020, no amounts have been loaned to Acreage Hempco.

Implementation of the Amended Arrangement is contingent upon obtaining the requisite prior approvals of the shareholders of Acreage and the Supreme Court of British Columbia and certain other closing conditions.

1 Other revenue adjustments represent our determination of returns and pricing adjustments.

 

Net revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was $110.4 million, as compared to $90.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The year-over-year increase is primarily attributable to (i) the year-over-year increase in other revenue resulting from strong performance by Storz & Bickel, a full quarter of revenue contribution from This Works (acquired in May 2019), and the acquisition of BioSteel in October 2019; and (ii) the year-over-year increase in medical net revenue, which was primarily due to a full quarter of revenue contribution from C3 (acquired in April 2019), and year-over-year growth in our German and Canadian medical businesses. These increases were partially offset by a year-over-year decrease in Canadian recreational net revenue.

Recreational

Canadian recreational net revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was $44.3 million, as compared to $49.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

Net revenue from the business-to-business channel in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was $34.9 million, as compared to $38.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The year-over-year decrease is primarily attributable to lower sales of our dry bud products, which is largely a result of increased competition in the value-priced dried flower category of the recreational market. In recent quarters we have observed an increase in the number of competitive offerings, particularly those with higher THC potency, and aggressive pricing strategies adopted by some market participants. The impact of lower dry bud product sales was partially offset by the introduction of our portfolio of Cannabis 2.0 product offerings across Canada over the past several months, as highlighted in the “Business Overview” section above. In the first quarter of fiscal 2021, sales of our Cannabis 2.0 products represented approximately 13% of gross revenue from the business-to-business channel.  

Revenue from the business-to-consumer channel in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was $9.3 million, as compared to $10.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The year-over-year decrease is primarily attributable to the temporary closures of our Tweed and Tokyo Smoke retail stores beginning in mid-March in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Upon re-opening, beginning in mid-April, our retail stores largely operated with reduced hours and under a “click-and-collect” model with curbside pickup or delivery, where permitted by provincial governments. Partially offsetting the adverse impact of COVID-19 related retail store closures is an increase related to the build-out of our retail store platform across Canada. At June 30, 2020, we had 22 corporate-owned Tweed and Tokyo Smoke retail stores in operation, an increase of 2 stores from June 30, 2019.  

Medical

Medical cannabis net revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was $34.1 million, as compared to $22.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Canadian medical net revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was $13.9 million, as compared to $11.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The year-over-year increase is due primarily to the prior year quarter being impacted by the transition of our medical customers to the Spectrum Therapeutics online store and its more medical-focused range of cannabis


products prior to the opening of the Canadian recreational market in October 2018. Since that transition, we have broadened our brand and medical cannabis product offerings available on the Spectrum Therapeutics online store in response to medical customer demand. International medical revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was $20.2 million, as compared to $10.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. C3 (acquired in April 2019) contributed a full quarter of revenue totaling $15.4 million in the current quarter, a year-over-year increase of $6.6 million. Additionally, the year-over-year growth in our German medical business of $3.1 million is attributable to the resolution of supply constraints we had experienced early in the prior fiscal year, and which were associated with the opening of the recreational cannabis market in Canada.

Other

Other revenue is comprised of revenue related to (i) vaporizers sold by Storz & Bickel; (ii) beauty, skincare, wellness and sleep products, some of which have been blended with hemp-derived CBD isolate, soldisolate. On December 18, 2023, the Company completed the sale of This Works and as of such date, the results of This Works are no longer included in the Company's financial results.

These segments reflect how our operations are managed, how our Chief Executive Officer, who is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), allocates resources and evaluates performance, and how our internal management financial reporting is structured. Our CODM evaluates the performance of these segments, with a focus on (i) segment net revenue, and (ii) segment gross margin as the measure of segment profit or loss. The information regarding segment net revenue and segment gross margin for the comparative periods has been restated to reflect the aforementioned change in reportable segments. The remainder of our operations include revenue derived from, and cost of sales associated with, our non-cannabis extraction activities and other ancillary activities; these are included within "other."

Recent Developments

Reorganization - Creation of Canopy USA

On October 24, 2022, Canopy Growth completed a number of strategic transactions in connection with the creation of a new U.S.-domiciled holding company, Canopy USA (the “Reorganization”). Following the implementation of the Reorganization, Canopy USA, as of October 24, 2022, holds certain U.S. cannabis investments previously held by This Works;Canopy Growth, which is expected to enable Canopy USA, following, among other things, the Meeting (as defined below) and the exercise of the Acreage Option, including the issuance of the Fixed Shares to Canopy USA, to consummate the acquisitions of Acreage, Wana, and Jetty.

Following the implementation of the Reorganization, as of October 24, 2022, Canopy USA holds an ownership interest in the following assets, among others:

Wana - The options to acquire 100% of the membership interests of Wana (the "Wana Options"), a leading cannabis edibles brand in North America.

Jetty - The options to acquire 100% of the shares of Jetty (the "Jetty Options"), a California-based producer of high-quality cannabis extracts and pioneer of clean vape technology.

Canopy Growth currently retains the option to acquire the issued and outstanding Class E subordinate voting shares (the “Fixed Shares”) of Acreage (the “Acreage Option”), representing approximately 70% of the total shares of Acreage, at a fixed share exchange ratio of 0.03048 of a Canopy Growth common share per Fixed Share. Concurrently with the closing of the acquisition of the Fixed Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Acreage Option, the Fixed Shares will be issued to Canopy USA. In addition, Canopy USA has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding Class D subordinate voting shares of Acreage (the “Floating Shares”) by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement (the “Floating Share Arrangement”) in exchange for 0.045 of a common share of Canopy Growth for each Floating Share held. Acreage is a leading vertically-integrated multi-state cannabis operator, with its main operations in densely populated states across the Northeast U.S. including New Jersey and New York.

In addition, as of October 24, 2022, Canopy USA held direct and indirect interests in the capital of TerrAscend Corp. (“TerrAscend”), a leading North American cannabis operator with vertically integrated operations and a presence in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Michigan and California as well as licensed cultivation and processing operations in Maryland. Canopy USA’s direct and

43


indirect interests in TerrAscend included: (i) 38,890,570 exchangeable shares in the capital of TerrAscend (the “TerrAscend Exchangeable Shares”), an option to purchase 1,072,450 TerrAscend common shares (the “TerrAscend Common Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $1.00 (the “TerrAscend Option”), and 22,474,130 TerrAscend Common Share purchase warrants previously held by Canopy Growth (the “TerrAscend Warrants”); and (ii) the debentures and loan agreement between Canopy Growth and certain TerrAscend subsidiaries.

On December 9, 2022, Canopy USA and certain limited partnerships that are controlled by Canopy USA entered into a debt settlement agreement (the "Debt Settlement Agreement") with TerrAscend, TerrAscend Canada Inc. (“TerrAscend Canada”) and Arise Bioscience, Inc. (“Arise Bioscience”) whereby $125,467 in aggregate loans, including accrued interest thereon, payable by certain subsidiaries of TerrAscend, were extinguished and 22,474,130 TerrAscend Warrants, being all of the previously issued TerrAscend Warrants controlled by Canopy USA (the “Prior Warrants”) were cancelled in exchange for: (i) 24,601,467 TerrAscend Exchangeable Shares at a notional price of $5.10 per TerrAscend Exchangeable Share; and (ii) 22,474,130 new TerrAscend Warrants (the “New Warrants” and, together with the TerrAscend Exchangeable Shares, the “New TerrAscend Securities”) with a weighted average exercise price of $6.07 per TerrAscend Common Share and expiring on December 31, 2032. Following the issuance of the New TerrAscend Securities, Canopy USA beneficially owns: (i) 63,492,037 TerrAscend Exchangeable Shares; (ii) 22,474,130 New Warrants; and (iii) sports nutrition beverages, mixes, protein, gumthe TerrAscend Option. The TerrAscend Exchangeable Shares can be converted into TerrAscend Common Shares at Canopy USA’s option, subject to the terms of the A&R Protection Agreement (as defined below).

Following the implementation of the Reorganization Canopy USA was determined to be a variable interest entity pursuant to ASC 810 - Consolidations ("ASC 810") and mints, someprior to the completion of the Reorganization Amendments (as defined below), Canopy Growth was determined to be the primary beneficiary of Canopy USA. As a result of such determination and in accordance with ASC 810, Canopy Growth consolidated the financial results of Canopy USA.

Amendments to Canopy USA Structure

Following the creation of Canopy USA, Nasdaq communicated its position to us stating that companies that consolidate “the assets and revenues generated from activities in violation under federal law cannot continue to list on Nasdaq”. Since we are committed to compliance with the listing requirements of the Nasdaq, we and Canopy USA effectuated certain changes to the initial structure of the Company’s interest in Canopy USA that were intended to facilitate the deconsolidation of the financial results of Canopy USA within our financial statements. These changes included, among other things, modifying the terms of the Protection Agreement between us, our wholly-owned subsidiary and Canopy USA as well as the terms of Canopy USA’s limited liability company agreement and amending the terms of certain agreements with third-party investors in Canopy USA to eliminate any rights to guaranteed returns (collectively, the “Reorganization Amendments”).

On May 19, 2023, Canopy Growth and Canopy USA implemented the Reorganization Amendments, which included, entering into the First A&R Protection Agreement (as defined below) and amending and restating Canopy USA’s limited liability company agreement (the “A&R LLC Agreement”) in order to: (i) eliminate certain negative covenants that were previously granted by Canopy USA in favor of Canopy Growth as well as delegating to the managers of the Canopy USA Board not appointed by Canopy Growth the authority to approve the following key decisions (collectively, the “Key Decisions”): (a) the annual business plan of Canopy USA; (b) decisions regarding the executive officers of Canopy USA and any of its subsidiaries; (c) increasing the compensation, bonus levels or other benefits payable to any current, former or future employees or managers of Canopy USA or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any other executive compensation plan matters of Canopy USA or any of its subsidiaries; and (e) the exercise of the Wana Options or the Jetty Options, which for greater certainty means that Canopy Growth’s nominee on the Canopy USA Board will not be permitted to vote on any Key Decisions while Canopy Growth owns Non-Voting Shares; (ii) reduce the number of managers on the Canopy USA Board from four to three, including, reducing Canopy Growth’s nomination right to a single manager; (iii) amend the share capital of Canopy USA to, among other things, (a) create a new class of Canopy USA Class B Shares, which may not be issued prior to the conversion of the Non-Voting Shares or the Canopy USA Common Shares into Canopy USA Class B Shares; (b) amend the terms of the Non-Voting Shares such that the Non-Voting Shares will be convertible into Canopy USA Class B Shares (as opposed to Canopy USA Common Shares); and (c) amend the terms of the Canopy USA Common Shares such that upon conversion of all of the Non-Voting Shares into Canopy USA Class B Shares, the Canopy USA Common Shares will, subject to their terms, automatically convert into Canopy USA Class B Shares, provided that the number of Canopy USA Class B Shares to be issued to the former holders of the Canopy USA Common Shares will be equal to no less than 10% of the total issued and outstanding Canopy USA Class B Shares following such issuance. Accordingly, as a result of the Reorganization Amendments, in no circumstances will Canopy Growth, at the time of such conversions, own more than 90% of the Canopy USA Class B Shares.

In connection with the Reorganization Amendments, on May 19, 2023, Canopy USA and Huneeus 2017 Irrevocable Trust (the “Trust”) entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Trust SPA”), which sets out the terms of the Trust’s investment in Canopy USA in the aggregate amount of up to US$20 million (the "Trust Transaction"). Agustin Huneeus, Jr. is the trustee of the Trust and is an affiliate of a shareholder of Jetty. Pursuant to the terms of the Trust SPA, the Trust will, subject to certain terms and conditions

44


contained in the Trust SPA be issued Canopy USA Common Shares in two tranches with an aggregate value of up to US$10 million along with warrants of Canopy USA to acquire additional Canopy USA Common Shares. In addition, subject to the terms of the Trust SPA, the Trust has also been granted options to acquire additional Voting Shares (as defined in the A&R LLC Agreement) with a value of up to an additional US$10 million and one such additional option includes the issuance of additional warrants of Canopy USA.

In addition, subject to the terms and conditions of the A&R Protection Agreement and the terms of the option agreements to acquire Wana and Jetty, as applicable, Canopy Growth may be required to issue additional common shares in satisfaction of certain deferred and/or option exercise payments to the shareholders of Wana and Jetty. Canopy Growth will receive additional Non-Voting Shares from Canopy USA as consideration for any Canopy Growth common shares issued in the future to the shareholders of Wana and Jetty.

On November 3, 2023, we received a letter from the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) in which the Staff indicated that, despite the Reorganization Amendments, it would object to the deconsolidation of the financial results of Canopy USA from the Company's financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP once Canopy USA acquires Wana, Jetty or the Fixed Shares of Acreage. We subsequently had discussions with the Office of Chief Accountant of the SEC (the "OCA") and determined to make certain additional amendments to the structure of Canopy USA (the “Additional Reorganization Amendments”) to facilitate the deconsolidation of Canopy USA from the financial results of Canopy Growth in accordance with U.S. GAAP upon Canopy USA’s acquisition of Wana, Jetty or Acreage. In that regard, we filed a revised preliminary proxy statement with the SEC on each of January 25, 2024 and February 5, 2024 in connection with the Amendment Proposal (as defined below) that discloses these Additional Reorganization Amendments. In connection with the Additional Reorganization Amendments, Canopy USA and its members expect to enter into a second amended and restated limited liability company agreement (the “Second A&R LLC Agreement”) immediately prior to the completion of the first tranche closing of the Trust Transaction. Upon the effective date of the Second A&R LLC Agreement, the terms of the Non-Voting Shares will be amended such that the Non-Voting Shares will only be convertible into Canopy USA Class B Shares following the date that the NASDAQ Stock Market or The New York Stock Exchange permit the listing of companies that consolidate the financial statements of companies that cultivate, distribute or possess marijuana (as defined in 21 U.S.C 802) in the United States (the “Triggering Event Date”). Based on our discussions with the OCA, upon effectuating the Additional Reorganization Amendments, we believe that the Staff would not object to the deconsolidation of the financial results of Canopy USA from the Company’s financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP once Canopy USA acquires Wana, Jetty or the Fixed Shares of Acreage.

Ownership of U.S. Cannabis Investments

Following the implementation of the Reorganization, the shares and interests in Acreage, Wana, Jetty and TerrAscend are held, directly or indirectly, by Canopy USA, and Canopy Growth no longer holds a direct interest in any shares or interests in such entities, other than the Acreage Option. Canopy Growth holds non-voting and non-participating shares (the "Non-Voting Shares") in the capital of Canopy USA. The Non-Voting Shares do not carry voting rights, rights to receive dividends or other rights upon dissolution of Canopy USA. Following the Reorganization Amendments, the Non-Voting Shares are convertible into Class B shares of Canopy USA (the “Canopy USA Class B Shares”), provided that following the execution of the Second A&R LLC Agreement, such conversion shall only be permitted following the Triggering Event Date. Canopy Growth also has the right (regardless of the fact that its Non-Voting Shares are non-voting and non-participating) to appoint one member to the Canopy USA board of managers (the “Canopy USA Board”).

As of December 31, 2023, a third party investor owned all of the issued and outstanding Class A shares of Canopy USA (the “Canopy USA Common Shares”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Canopy Growth holds Non-Voting Shares in the capital of Canopy USA, representing approximately more than 99% of the issued and outstanding shares in Canopy USA on an as-converted basis.

On October 24, 2022, Canopy USA and Canopy Growth also entered into an agreement with, among others, Nancy Whiteman, the controlling shareholder of Wana, which was amended and restated on May 19, 2023, whereby subsidiaries of Canopy USA agreed to pay additional consideration in order to acquire the Wana Options and the future payments owed in connection with the exercise of the Wana Options will be reduced to US$3.00 in exchange for the issuance of Canopy USA Common Shares and Canopy Growth common shares (the “Wana Amending Agreement”). In accordance with the terms of the Wana Amending Agreement, Canopy USA Common Shares and Canopy Growth common shares will be issued to the shareholders of Wana, each with a value equal to 7.5% of the fair market value of Wana as of the later of: (i) the date that the Wana Options are exercised; and (ii) the closing date of the first tranche of the Trust Transaction (the “Wana Valuation Date”) less any net debt of Wana as of the Wana Valuation Date plus any net cash of Wana as of Wana Valuation Date. The value of Wana and the number of Canopy USA Common Shares will be determined based on the fair market value of Wana and the Canopy USA Common Shares, respectively, as determined by an appraiser appointed by Canopy Growth and an appraiser appointed by the shareholders of Wana (and, if required, a third appraiser to be appointed by the

45


initial two appraisers). The Canopy USA Common Shares and Canopy Growth common shares will only be issued to Ms. Whiteman, or entities controlled by Ms. Whiteman, on the later of: (i) the date of exercise of the Wana Options and (ii) the date that CBG and Greenstar, indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of CBI, have converted their Canopy Growth common shares into Exchangeable Shares. The Wana Amending Agreement may be terminated and no Canopy USA Common Shares or Canopy Growth common shares will be issued to Ms. Whiteman, or entities controlled by Ms. Whiteman in the event that CBG and Greenstar have not converted their Canopy Growth common shares into Exchangeable Shares by the later of: (i) sixty days after the Meeting; or (ii) December 31, 2023. The Canopy USA Common Shares issuable to Ms. Whiteman, or entities controlled by Ms. Whiteman, will also be subject to a repurchase right exercisable at any time after the 36 month anniversary of the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Wana Amending Agreement (the “Wana Repurchase Right”) to repurchase all Canopy USA Common Shares that have been infusedissued at a price per Canopy USA Common Share equal to the fair market value as determined by an appraiser. As part of this agreement, Canopy USA has granted Ms. Whiteman the right to appoint one member to the Canopy USA Board and a put right on the same terms and conditions as the Wana Repurchase Right.

Canopy Growth and Canopy USA have also entered into a protection agreement (the "Protection Agreement") to provide for certain covenants in order to preserve the value of the Non-Voting Shares held by Canopy Growth until such time as the Non-Voting Shares are converted in accordance with hemp-derived CBD isolate,their terms, provided that following the execution of the Second A&R LLC Agreement, such conversion shall only be permitted following the Triggering Event Date, but does not provide Canopy Growth with the ability to direct the business, operations or activities of Canopy USA. The Protection Agreement was amended and restated in connection with: (a) the Reorganization Amendments (the "First A&R Protection Agreement"); and (b) the Additional Reorganization Amendments (the “Second A&R Protection Agreement” and together with the First A&R Protection Agreement, the “A&R Protection Agreement”).

Upon closing of Canopy USA’s acquisition of Acreage, Canopy Growth will receive additional Non-Voting Shares from Canopy USA in consideration for the issuance of common shares of Canopy Growth that shareholders of Acreage will receive in accordance with the terms of the Existing Acreage Arrangement Agreement and the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement.

Until such time as Canopy Growth converts the Non-Voting Shares into Canopy USA Class B Shares following the Triggering Event Date, Canopy Growth will have no economic or voting interest in Canopy USA, Wana, Jetty, TerrAscend, or Acreage. Canopy USA, Wana, Jetty, TerrAscend, and Acreage will continue to operate independently of Canopy Growth.

Acreage Agreements

On October 24, 2022, Canopy Growth entered into an arrangement agreement with Canopy USA and Acreage, as amended (the “Floating Share Arrangement Agreement”), pursuant to which, subject to approval of the holders of the Floating Shares and the terms and conditions of the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement, Canopy USA will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Floating Shares by way of a court-approved plan on arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “Floating Share Arrangement”) in exchange for 0.045 of a Company common share for each Floating Share held. In connection with the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement, Canopy Growth has irrevocably waived the Acreage Floating Option existing under the Existing Acreage Arrangement Agreement.

On October 24, 2022, Canopy Growth and Canopy USA entered into a third amendment to tax receivable agreement (the “Amended TRA”) with, among others, certain current or former unitholders (the “Holders”) of High Street Capital Partners, LLC, a subsidiary of Acreage (“HSCP”), pursuant to HSCP’s amended tax receivable agreement (the “TRA”) and related tax receivable bonus plans with Acreage. Pursuant to the Amended TRA, Canopy Growth, on behalf of Canopy USA, agreed to issue Canopy Growth common shares with a value of US$30.4 million to certain Holders as consideration for the assignment of such Holder’s rights under the TRA to Canopy USA. As a result of the Amended TRA, Canopy USA is the sole member and beneficiary under the TRA. In connection with the foregoing, Canopy Growth issued: (i) 564,893 common shares with a value of $20.6 million (US$15.2 million) to certain Holders on November 4, 2022 as the first installment under the Amended TRA; and (ii) 710,208 common shares with a value of $20.6 million (US$15.2 million) to certain Holders on March 17, 2023, as the second installment under the Amended TRA. Canopy Growth, on behalf of Canopy USA, also agreed to issue Canopy Growth common shares with a value of approximately US$19.6 million to certain eligible participants pursuant to HSCP’s existing tax receivable bonus plans to be issued immediately prior to completion of the Floating Share Arrangement.

On October 24, 2022, Canopy Growth and Canopy USA entered into voting support agreements with certain of Acreage’s directors, officers and consultants pursuant to which such persons have agreed, among other things, to vote their Floating Shares in favor of the Floating Share Arrangement, representing approximately 7.3% of the issued and outstanding Floating Shares.

In addition to shareholder and court approvals, the Floating Share Arrangement is subject to approval of the Amendment Proposal and applicable regulatory approvals including, but not limited to, TSX approval and the satisfaction of certain other closing conditions customary in transactions of this nature. The Floating Share Arrangement received the requisite approval from the holders

46


of Floating Shares at the special meeting of Acreage shareholders held on March 15, 2023 and on March 20, 2023 Acreage obtained a final order from the Supreme Court of British Columbia approving the Floating Share Arrangement. The Floating Share Arrangement Agreement has been amended several times to extend the Exercise Outside Date (as defined in the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement), which was initially March 31, 2023. The most recent amendment to the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement extended the Exercise Outside Date to March 31, 2024. The completion of the Floating Share Arrangement is subject to satisfaction or, if permitted, waiver of certain closing conditions, including, among others, approval of the Amendment Proposal on or prior to the Exercise Outside Date.

It is intended that Canopy Growth’s existing option to acquire the Fixed Shares on the basis of 0.03048 of a Canopy Growth common share per Fixed Share will be exercised after the Meeting in accordance with the terms of the arrangement agreement dated April 18, 2019, as amended on May 15, 2019, September 23, 2020 and November 17, 2020 (the “Existing Acreage Arrangement Agreement”). Canopy Growth will not hold any Fixed Shares or Floating Shares. Completion of the acquisition of the Fixed Shares following exercise of the Acreage Option is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Existing Acreage Arrangement Agreement. The acquisition of the Floating Shares pursuant to the Floating Share Arrangement is anticipated to occur immediately prior to the acquisition of the Fixed Shares pursuant to the Existing Acreage Arrangement Agreement such that 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Acreage will be owned by Canopy USA on closing of the acquisition of both the Fixed Shares and the Floating Shares.

On November 15, 2022, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Canopy Growth (the “Acreage Debt Optionholder”) and Acreage’s existing lenders (the “Lenders”) entered into an option agreement, which superseded the letter agreement dated October 24, 2022 between the parties, pursuant to which the Acreage Debt Optionholder was granted the right to purchase the outstanding principal, including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, of Acreage’s debt, being an amount up to US$150.0 million (the “Acreage Debt”) from the Lenders in exchange for an option premium payment of $38.0 million (US$28.5 million) (the “Option Premium”), which was deposited into an escrow account on November 17, 2022. The Acreage Debt Optionholder has the right to exercise the option at its discretion, and if the option is exercised, the Option Premium will be used to reduce the purchase price to be paid for the outstanding Acreage Debt. In the event that Acreage repays the Acreage Debt on or prior to maturity, the Option Premium will be returned to the Acreage Debt Optionholder. In the event that Acreage defaults on the Acreage Debt and the Acreage Debt Optionholder does not exercise its option to acquire the Acreage Debt, the Option Premium will be released to the Lenders.

Special Shareholder Meeting

In connection with the Reorganization, Canopy Growth expects to hold a special meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”) at which Canopy Growth shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed appropriate, to pass a special resolution authorizing an amendment to its articles of incorporation, as amended (the “Amendment Proposal”), in order to: (i) create and authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of a new class of non-voting and non-participating exchangeable shares in the capital of Canopy Growth (the “Exchangeable Shares”); and (ii) restate the rights of Canopy Growth’s common shares to provide for a conversion feature whereby each common share may at any time, at the option of the holder, be converted into one Exchangeable Share. The Exchangeable Shares will not carry voting rights, rights to receive dividends or other rights upon dissolution of Canopy Growth but will be convertible into common shares.

The Amendment Proposal must be approved by at least 66⅔% of the votes cast on a special resolution by Canopy Growth’s shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting. On October 24, 2022, CBG and Greenstar, indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of CBI, entered into a voting and support agreement (the "Voting and Support Agreement") with Canopy Growth. Pursuant to the terms of the Voting and Support Agreement, CBG and Greenstar agreed, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, among other things, to vote all of the Canopy Growth common shares beneficially owned, directed or controlled, directly or indirectly, by them for the Amendment Proposal.

In the event the Amendment Proposal is approved, and subject to the conversion by CBI of their Canopy Growth common shares into Exchangeable Shares, Canopy USA is expected to exercise the Wana Options and the Jetty Options. In the event the Amendment Proposal is not approved, Canopy USA will not be permitted to exercise its rights to acquire shares of Wana or Jetty, and the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement will be terminated. In such circumstances, Canopy Growth will retain the Acreage Option under the Existing Acreage Arrangement Agreement and Canopy USA will continue to hold the Wana Options and the Jetty Options, as well as the TerrAscend Exchangeable Shares and other securities in the capital of TerrAscend. In addition, Canopy Growth is contractually required to cause Canopy USA to exercise its repurchase right to acquire the Canopy USA Common Shares held by the third party investors.

47


Relationship with CBI

In connection with the Reorganization, CBI has indicated its current intention to convert all of its Canopy Growth common shares into Exchangeable Shares, conditional upon the approval of the Amendment Proposal. However, any decision to convert will be made by CBI in its sole discretion, and CBI is not obligated to effect any such conversion.

In connection with the foregoing, on October 24, 2022, Canopy Growth entered into a consent agreement with CBG and Greenstar (the “Third Consent Agreement”), pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things, that following the conversion by CBG and Greenstar of their respective Canopy Growth common shares into Exchangeable Shares, other than the Third Consent Agreement and the termination rights contained therein and the 4.25% unsecured senior notes due in 2023 (the “Canopy Notes”) held by Greenstar, all agreements between Canopy Growth and CBI, including the Second Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of April 18, 2019, by and among certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of CBI and Canopy Growth (the “Second Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement”), will be terminated. Pursuant to the terms of the Third Consent Agreement, CBG and Greenstar also agreed, among other things, that at the time of the conversion by CBG and Greenstar of their Canopy Growth common shares into Exchangeable Shares, (i) CBG will surrender the warrants held by CBG to purchase 13,974,545 common shares for cancellation for no consideration; and (ii) all nominees of CBI that are currently sitting on the board of directors of Canopy Growth (the “Board”) will resign from the Board. In addition, pursuant to the Third Consent Agreement and following the Reorganization Amendments, Canopy Growth is contractually required to convert its Non-Voting Shares into Canopy USA Class B Shares, provided that following the execution of the Second A&R LLC Agreement, such conversion shall only be permitted following the Triggering Event Date, and cause Canopy USA to repurchase the Canopy USA Common Shares held by certain third-party investors in Canopy USA in the event CBG and Greenstar have not converted their respective common shares into Exchangeable Shares by sixty days after the Meeting (the “Termination Date”). The Third Consent Agreement will automatically terminate on the Termination Date.

In the event that CBI does not convert its Canopy Growth common shares into Exchangeable Shares, Canopy USA will not be permitted to exercise its rights to acquire the Fixed Shares from Canopy Growth or exercise its rights under the Wana Options or Jetty Options and the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement will be terminated. In such circumstances, Canopy Growth will retain the Acreage Option under the Existing Acreage Arrangement Agreement and Canopy USA will continue to hold the Wana Options and the Jetty Options, as well as the TerrAscend Exchangeable Shares and other securities in the capital of TerrAscend. If CBI does not convert its Canopy Growth common shares into Exchangeable Shares, Canopy Growth is also contractually required to cause Canopy USA to exercise its repurchase right to acquire the Canopy USA Common Shares held by the third party investors.

Refinancing of $100.0 Million of Canopy Notes Due in July 2023

On April 13, 2023, we entered into an exchange agreement (the “April 2023 Exchange Agreement”) with Greenstar in order to acquire and cancel $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding Canopy Notes. Pursuant to the April 2023 Exchange Agreement, we agreed to acquire and cancel $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Canopy Notes held by Greenstar in exchange for: (i) a cash payment to Greenstar in the amount of the unpaid and accrued interest owing under the Canopy Notes held by Greenstar; and (ii) a promissory note of $100.0 million maturing December 31, 2024 bearing interest at a rate of 4.25% per annum, payable in cash on maturity (the “CBI Note”). As a result, Greenstar no longer holds any Canopy Notes.

Agreements with Indiva

On May 30, 2023, we entered into a license assignment and assumption agreement with Indiva Limited ("Indiva") and its subsidiary, Indiva Inc. (the "Indiva License Agreement"), allowing us to assume the exclusive rights and interests to manufacture, distribute, and sell Wana branded products in Canada. Simultaneously, we and Indiva also entered into a contract manufacturing agreement, under which we will grant Indiva the exclusive right to manufacture and supply Wana branded products in Canada for five years, with the ability to renew for an additional five-year term upon mutual agreement of the parties.

We also subscribed for 37.2 million common shares of Indiva for an aggregate purchase price of $2.2 million. In addition, we paid Indiva $0.5 million in cash on May 30, 2023, and agreed to pay Indiva an additional $1.3 million on May 30, 2024 provided that the parties are complying with the terms of the Indiva License Agreement (collectively, the "Indiva Investment").

The Convertible Debentures were issued under the indenture dated February 21, 2023 between us and Computershare Trust Company of Canada, in its capacity as trustee. Pursuant to the Convertible Debenture Agreement, an initial $135.2 million (US$100.0 million) aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Debentures were sold to the Institutional Investor on February 21, 2023. The conditions with respect to the remaining US$50 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Debentures were neither satisfied nor waived. The Convertible Debentures were convertible into our common shares at the option of the Institutional Investor at any time or times prior to the maturity date of February 28, 2028, at a conversion price equal to 92.5% of the volume-weighted average price of our common shares during the three consecutive trading days ending on the business day immediately prior to the date of conversion. No cash payment or any other property of Canopy Growth was made by BioSteel;us to the Institutional Investor in connection with, or as a result of, the issuance, conversion or repayment of the Convertible Debentures.

As of June 30, 2023, all conversions pursuant to the Convertible Debentures were completed and the amount outstanding under the Convertible Debentures was $nil.

Maturity of Canopy Notes Due in July 2023

On July 13, 2023, we entered into privately negotiated redemption agreements (collectively, the “Redemption Agreements”) with certain Noteholders of our Canopy Notes, pursuant to which approximately $193 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Canopy Notes held by such Noteholders were redeemed (the "Redemption") on the applicable closing date for: (i) an aggregate cash payment of approximately $101 million; (ii) the issuance of 9.04 million Canopy Growth common shares; and (iii) the issuance of approximately $40.4 million aggregate principal amount of newly issued unsecured non-interest bearing convertible debentures (the "Debentures"). Following the Redemption, we settled the remaining aggregate principal amount owing under the outstanding Canopy Notes and, as of the maturity date, there were no Canopy Notes outstanding.

The Debentures were issued pursuant to a debenture indenture dated July 14, 2023 between us and Odyssey Trust Company, in its capacity as trustee. The Debentures were convertible into Canopy Growth common shares (the “Debenture Shares”) at the option of the holder at any time or times following approval from our shareholders for the issuance of all the Debenture Shares in excess of the Nasdaq threshold of 19.99% and the TSX requirements of 25% of the issued and outstanding Canopy Growth common shares in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq and the TSX (the "Shareholder Approval") until the maturity date of January 15, 2024, at a conversion price equal to $5.50, subject to adjustment in certain events.

We obtained Shareholder Approval, at our Annual General and Special Meeting of shareholders held on September 25, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, all conversions pursuant to the Debentures have been completed and the amount outstanding under the Debentures was $nil.

Balance Sheet Deleveraging Initiatives

On October 24, 2022, we entered into agreements with certain of our lenders under the term loan credit agreement dated March 18, 2021 (the “Credit Agreement”) pursuant to which we agreed to purchase in the aggregate US$187.5 million of the principal indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Facility at a discounted price of US$930 per US$1,000 or US$174.4 million in the aggregate. The first payment, which was oversubscribed, in the amount of $117.5 million (US$87.9 million) was made on November 10, 2022 to reduce the principal indebtedness under the Credit Facility by approximately $126.3 million (US$94.4 million). The second payment of $116.8 million (US$87.2 million) was made on April 17, 2023 to reduce principal indebtedness under the Credit Facility by $125.6 million (US$93.8 million). Additionally, on October 24, 2022 we and certain of our lenders agreed to make certain amendments to the Credit Agreement which, among other things, resulted in: (i) a reduction to the minimum liquidity covenant to no less than US$100.0 million following completion of the second principal repurchase on April 17, 2023; (ii) certain changes to the application of net proceeds from asset sales; (iii) the establishment of a new committed delayed draw term credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of US$100.0 million; and (iv) the elimination of the additional US$500.0 million incremental term loan facility.

On July 13, 2023, we entered into agreements with certain of our lenders under the Credit Agreement pursuant to which certain additional amendments were made to the Credit Agreement (collectively, the Credit Agreement, as amended as of July 13, 2023, is referred to herein as the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The Amended Credit Agreement required us to prepay or repurchase principal indebtedness under the Credit Facility in an amount equal to the US dollar equivalent of $93.0 million at a discounted price of US$930 per US$1,000 (the “July 2023 Paydown”). In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement requires us to apply certain net

The Amended Credit Agreement also includes, among other strategic revenue sourcesthings, amendments to the minimum liquidity covenant such that the US$100.0 million minimum ceased to apply concurrently with the July 2023 Paydown. The July 2023 Paydown was made on July 21, 2023.

On each of August 11, 2023 and September 14, 2023, pursuant to the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, we repurchased additional outstanding principal amounts under the Credit Facility using certain net proceeds from completed asset sales (the “Second Quarter 2024 Paydowns”). The Second Quarter 2024 Paydowns resulted in an aggregate principal reduction of $73.3 million (US$54.5 million) for a cash payment of $69.6 million (US$51.8 million).

On each of November 28, 2023 and December 27, 2023, pursuant to the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, we repurchased and repaid, as our clinic partners.applicable, additional outstanding principal amounts under the Credit Facility using certain net proceeds from completed asset sales (the "Third Quarter 2024 Paydowns").

Share Consolidation

On December 13, 2023, the Company announced that the Board had approved the consolidation of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares on the basis of one post-consolidation common share for every 10 pre-consolidation common shares (the “Share Consolidation”). The Share Consolidation was implemented to ensure that the Company continues to comply with the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

All issued and outstanding common shares, per share amounts, and outstanding equity instruments and awards exercisable into common shares, as well as the exchange ratios for the Fixed Shares and the Floating Shares under the Acreage Amending Agreement and the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement, respectively, contained in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Share Consolidation for all prior periods presented.

Canada cannabis

Net revenue from our Canada cannabis segment was $39.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, as compared to $46.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

Canadian adult-use cannabis net revenue was $23.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, as compared to $32.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

Net revenue from the business-to-business channel was $23.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, as compared to $21.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The year-over-year increase of $13.3 million is primarily dueattributable to the growth in the large format products of Tweed flower as well as the addition of the Wana brand gummies to the portfolio.
Revenue from the adult-use business-to-consumer channel was $nil in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, as compared to $11.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The year-over-year decrease is attributable to the divestiture of our retail business in Canada in the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

Canadian medical cannabis net revenue was $15.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, as compared to $14.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The year-over-year increase is primarily attributable to an increase in the average size of medical orders placed by our customers due largely to a shift in our customer mix, and a larger assortment of cannabis product choices offered to our customers.

Rest-of-world cannabis

Rest-of-world cannabis revenue from was $10.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, as compared to $5.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

Storz & Bickel and a full quarter of revenue contribution from both This Works (acquired in May 2019) and BioSteel (acquired in October 2019).

Revenue from Storz & Bickel was $17.1$18.5 million in the current quarter, a year-over-year increase of $7.4 million due to stronger-than-expected sales performance and an expansion of our distribution network in the United States. Additionally, This Works contributed a fullthird quarter of revenue totaling $6.0fiscal 2024, as compared to $20.2 million in the currentthird quarter aof fiscal 2023. The year-over-year increasedecrease is primarily attributable to production constraints and ramp-up of $3.7 million.  newly launched portable vaporizer in the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

This Works

Revenue from This Works was $8.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, as compared to $8.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The year-over-year revenue is slightly lower due to the completion of the This Works Divestiture on December 18, 2023.

Cost of goods sold was $50.3 million in the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2021 was $103.9 million,2024, as compared to $72.2$79.6 million in the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2020.2023. Our gross margin was $28.2 million in the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2021 was $6.5 million,2024, or 6%36% of net revenue, as compared to a gross margin of $18.3$5.2 million and gross margin percentage of 20%6% of net revenue in the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2020. In2023. The year-over-year increase in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, our gross margin percentage was adversely impacted byis primarily attributable to:

52


Improvement in our Canada cannabis segment, primarily attributable to: (i) the following:

The impact of operating costs relating to facilities not yet cultivating or producing cannabis, not yet producing cannabis-related products or having under-utilized capacity. In the first quarter of fiscal 2021 these costs amounted to $8.7 million and primarily related to (i) start-up costs associated with our indoor cultivation facility in Newfoundland, our gummy production facility in Smiths Falls, and our greenhouse in Denmark, including charges for obsolete inventory resulting from delays in obtaining the required export approvals from the Danish government; and (ii) under-utilized capacity associated with our Cannabis 2.0 production facilities in Smiths Falls;

Lower production output in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, particularly in Canada, to align with current and expected market demand. Lower production output, coupled with (i) our fixed costs representing a high proportion of our overall cultivation and manufacturing cost structure; and (ii) the gradual reduction of our variable costs late in the current quarter, resulted in the under-absorption of these fixed and variable costs and an adverse impact on gross margin in the current quarter. In connection with theserealized benefit of our cost savings program and strategic changes to our production strategy we also adjusted our cannabis production profile to focus on higher-potency strains which are more in-demand in the current market, resulting in additional inventory charges in the current quarter; and

Charges totaling $1.2 million related to the flow-through of inventory step-up associated with fiscal 2020 business combinations.

Partially offsetting these factors was the continued shift in the business mix in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 towards increased contributions to our revenues from our higher-margin C3, Storz & Bickel and This Works businesses.

Comparatively, our gross margin percentage in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was impacted by operating costs of $16.2 million relating to facilities not yet cultivating or processing cannabis, not yet producing cannabis-related products or having under-utilized capacity, adjustments related to the net realizable value of inventory, and a shift in the product mix in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 towards a lower percentage of higher-margin, advanced manufactured product offerings.


We harvested 22,990 kilograms of cannabis in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, as compared to 40,960 kilograms in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The decrease is primarily due to the closure of our two greenhouses in British Columbiabusiness that were initiated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, partially offset by an2022 and the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023; (ii) a year-over-year decrease in write-downs of excess inventory; and (iii) opportunistic utilization of lower cost inputs;

A year-over-year decrease in restructuring charges, from $2.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 to $nil in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. In the third quarter of fiscal 2023, restructuring charges related primarily to inventory write-downs resulting from: (i) the strategic changes to our business that were initiated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, including the shift to a contract manufacturing model for certain product format; and (ii) amounts deemed excess based on current and projected demand;
Improvement in our Rest-of-world cannabis segment, primarily due to lower excess and obsolete inventory charges in the third quarter of fiscal 2024; and
Improvement in the Storz & Bickel segment, primarily due to lower input costs and a positive shift in product mix to higher-margin newly launched products.

We report gross margin and gross margin percentage in four segments: (i) Canada cannabis; (ii) rest-of-world cannabis; (iii) Storz & Bickel; and (iv) This Works.

Canada cannabis

Gross margin for our Canada cannabis segment was $11.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, or 28% of net revenue, as compared to $(5.3) million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, or (11%) of net revenue. The year-over-year increase in production fromthe gross margin percentage was primarily attributable to: (i) the realized benefit of our greenhousecost savings program and strategic changes to our business that

53


were initiated in Mirabel, Quebec.  the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 and the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023; (ii) a year-over-year decrease in write-downs of excess inventory; and (iii) opportunistic utilization of lower cost inputs;

Rest-of-world cannabis

Gross margin for our rest-of-world cannabis segment was $4.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, or 40% of net revenue, as compared to $(2.2) million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, or (37%) of net revenue. The year-over-year increase in the gross margin percentage is primarily attributable to additional variable consideration recognized in respect of our U.S. CBD business and a downward adjustment related to a customer in an exited international market in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Both items did not recur in the third quarter of fiscal 2024.

Storz & Bickel

Gross margin for our Storz & Bickel segment was $9.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, or 51% of net revenue, as compared to $9.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, or 45% of net revenue. The year-over-year increase in the gross margin percentage is driven primarily by lower input costs and a positive shift in product mix to higher-margin newly launched products.

This Works

Gross margin for our This Works segment was $4.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, or 52% of net revenue, as compared to $4.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, or 49% of net revenue. The year-over-year increase in the gross margin percentage is primarily due to lower excess and obsolete inventory charges in the third quarter of fiscal 2024.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $54.4 million in the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2021 were $135.4 million,2024, as compared to $145.6$89.6 million in the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2020.2023.

General and administrative expense was $22.7 million in the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2021 was $64.8 million, relatively consistent with $63.32024, as compared to $31.3 million in the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2020.

Sales and marketing expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was $37.8 million, as compared to $50.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. In the comparative period we incurred costs attributable to (i) creative design, brand insights and product marketing campaigns in preparation for the launch of our Cannabis 2.0 portfolio of products, and (ii) media and advertisement placement campaigns to drive brand awareness and educate consumers in support of our Tweed, Tokyo Smoke and other recreational brands at the onset of the opening of the Canadian recreational market in October 2018. These costs did not recur to the same extent in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Additionally, in the current quarter, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated measures established to contain its spread, we delayed or cancelled various product and brand marketing initiatives that were planned for retail stores across Canada, and incurred significantly reduced travel costs due to travel restrictions.

The above factors resulting in a year-over-year decrease in sales and marketing expense were partially offset by higher compensation costs related to our marketing and sales capabilities servicing (i) the United States market, where initiatives continue to commercialize and drive brand and product awareness for our First & Free line of CBD products; and (ii) the growth in our business as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2020 resulting from the acquisitions of C3 in April 2019, This Works in May 2019 and BioSteel in October 2019.

Research and development expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was $13.7 million, as compared to $8.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The year-over-year increase is primarily attributable to (i) higher compensation costs associated with a year-over-year increase in the number of employees conducting research and developing patent-protected technology, most notably in relation to our Cannabis 2.0 products and plant science; and (ii) a year-over-year increase in costs associated with conducting external laboratory research, testing and clinical trials for CBD- and other cannabinoid-based human and animal health products and therapies. The above factors resulting in a year-over-year increase in research and development expense were partially offset by lower travel costs resulting from COVID-19 related travel restrictions, and lower third-party professional fees associated with a refocusing of Spectrum Therapeutics’ research objectives.


Acquisition-related costs in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 were $1.4 million, as compared to $13.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.2023. The year-over-year decrease is primarily attributable to more mergersthe impact of the restructuring actions and acquisitions activitycost savings programs initiated in the fourth quarters of both fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2023. We realized reductions relative to the third quarter of fiscal 2023 primarily in relation to: (i) compensation costs for finance, information technology, legal and other administrative functions; and (ii) a reduction in facilities and insurance costs.

Sales and marketing expense was $18.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, as compared to $32.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The year-over-year decrease is primarily attributable to: (i) the divestiture of our retail business in Canada in the third quarter of fiscal 2023; (ii) cost reductions related to the previously-noted restructuring actions and cost savings programs, which resulted in a rationalization of our sales and marketing spending in certain areas of our business, particularly for our Canadian cannabis and U.S. CBD businesses, and a reduction in compensation costs.

54


Research and development expense was $1.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, as compared to $4.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The year-over-year decrease is primarily attributable to cost reductions associated with the previously-noted restructuring actions and cost savings programs, as we: (i) continued to realize reductions in compensation costs and curtail research and development projects; and (ii) shifted to outsourced contract model for certain research and development projects.

Acquisition, divestiture, and other costs were $5.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, as compared to $13.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. In the third quarter of fiscal 2024, costs were incurred primarily in relation to:

Approximately $2.4 million of additional advisory fees relating to the modification of the Credit Agreement that occurred in July 2023.
Approximately $2.0 million of legal and audit costs related to the restatement of our consolidated financial statements for the following previously filed periods: (i) audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, originally included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, and (ii) unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2022, September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022, originally included in the our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for such quarterly periods, in connection with the correction of material misstatement arising from an internal review of financial reporting matters related to sales in the BioSteel business unit that were accounted for incorrectly, and the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 in June 2023; and
The Reorganization of Canopy USA.

Comparatively, in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, costs were incurred primarily in relation to the Reorganization, the divestiture of certain of our corporate-owned retail stores in Canada, and evaluating other potential acquisition opportunities.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $7.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, as compared to $7.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The year-over-year decrease is primarily attributable to: (i) the previously-noted restructuring actions and cost savings programs, including the closure of certain of our Canadian facilities and other operational changes to implement cultivation-related efficiencies and improvements in the Canadian adult-use cannabis business; and (ii) the divestiture of our retail business in Canada in the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

Share-based compensation expense

Share-based compensation expense was $3.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, as compared to $6.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The year-over-year decrease is primarily attributable to the impact of our previously-noted restructuring actions, which resulted in forfeitures of stock options, restricted share units and performance units and results in lower relative expenses in future periods. While 2.4 million stock options were granted in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, most notably entering into2024 and implementing the Arrangement Agreement with Acreage and closing the acquisitions of C3 and This Works. Comparatively,1.5 million restricted share units were granted in the firstsecond quarter of fiscal 2021 our primary mergers2024, the associated expense relating to both items partially offset the decrease noted.

Depreciation and amortization expenseoperating expenses were $30.4 million in the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2021 was $17.7 million,2024, as compared to $10.1$22.3 million in the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2020. The year-over-year increase is2023.

Loss on asset impairment and restructuring recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 were primarily attributablerelated to substantialthe charges associated with the completion of the build-outThis Works Divestiture, as $28.1 million of our infrastructure across Canada overwrite-downs occurred due to the past year, investment in our infrastructure in Europesale. In addition, there were various incremental impairment losses and the United States, and the growth in our business over the past yearother costs associated with the acquisitions of C3, BioSteel and This Works.

Share-based compensation expense

Share-based compensation expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was $28.6 million, as compared to $77.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The year-over-year decrease is primarily attributable to:

The significant number of stock options that were granted in previous years at relatively higher exercise prices, which impacted share-based compensation expense more significantly in previous periods. We granted 22.1 million stock options in fiscal 2019 at a weighted average price of $51.49 per option, as compared to 9.5 million options in fiscal 2020 at a weighted average price of $33.87. The year-over-year decrease in the number of stock option grants was due to the modification of our share-based compensation program in the first half of fiscal 2020, and only 155,800 options were granted in the first quarter of fiscal 2021; and

The forfeiture or cancellation of 5.9 million stock options in fiscal 2020 and 3.1 million stock options in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 resulting primarily from restructuring actions commenced in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. These forfeitures and cancellations also resulted in a year-over-year reduction in share-based compensation expense.

Share-based compensation expense related to acquisition milestones in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was $2.1 million, as compared to $10.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The year-over-year decrease is primarily related to (i) the restructuring of our Canadian cannabis operations in Colombiathat were initiated in the fourththree months ended March 31, 2023.

Comparatively, in the third quarter of fiscal 2020, which resulted in2023, the acceleration of share-based compensation expense related to the unvested milestones associated with the acquisitions of Spectrum Colombia and Canindica. As a result, there is no remaining share-based compensation expense to be recognized in association with the Spectrum Colombia acquisition and only a minimal amount was recognized in connection with the Canindica acquisition in the current quarter; and (ii) the achievement, in earlier quarters, of major milestones associated with the acquisitions of Spectrum Colombia, Canindica, and Spectrum Cannabis Denmark Aps, which had resulted in the recognition of share-based compensation expense at that time.

Asset impairment and restructuring costs

Asset impairment and restructuring costs recorded in operating expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 were $12.8 million. In the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we completed certain of the restructuring actions that had commenced in the previous fiscal year, and recorded final adjustments related to changes in certain estimates recorded at March 31, 2020. In addition, we incurred additional costs in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 related primarily to the rationalization of our marketing organization in April 2020. As a result, in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 we recognizedloss on asset impairment and restructuring costs in relationwere primarily related to:

Asset impairment charges totaling $10.6 million relating to (i) costscertain acquired brand intangible assets within our Canada cannabis segment;
Employee-related restructuring charges associated with actions completed in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 as part of our ongoing program to align general and administrative costs with business objectives, and further streamline the organization;
Incremental impairment losses associated with the divestiture of our Canadian retail operations in connection with: (i) the closing, on October 26, 2022, of the transaction by which 420 Investments Ltd. acquired the ownership of five of our corporate-owned retail stores in Alberta; and (ii) the closing, on December 30, 2022, of the transaction by which OEG Retail Cannabis acquired ownership of 23 of our corporate-owned retail stores in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as all Tokyo Smoke-related intellectual property, as we recorded write-downs of certain other assets due to the excess of their carrying values over their estimated fair values, and recognized contractual and other settlement obligations; and

The loss from equity method investments in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was $7.2 million, as compared to $1.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The year-over-year increase in the loss is primarily attributable to larger net losses incurred by PharmHouse and Agripharm relative to the prior year, which is predominantly related to current quarter business performance.


Other income (expense), net

Other income (expense), net was an expense amount of $171.0 million in the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2021 was $48.2 million,2024, as compared to $32.8an expense amount of $115.5 million in the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2020.2023. The year-over-year increasechange of $15.4$55.5 million is primarily attributable to:

Change of $62.9 million related to non-cash fair value changes on our other financial assets, from an expense amount of $41.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 to an income amount of $21.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. This change is primarily attributable to a fair value increases totaling $21.3 million in the TerrAscend Canada secured debenture and the TerrAscend warrants in the current quarter, driven largely by an increase in TerrAscend’s share price of approximately 17% from April 1 to June 30, 2020. Comparatively, in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 the expense amount was primarily driven by decreases of $20.0 million and $8.0 million in the fair value of our exchangeable shares in TerrAscend and warrants in the capital of SLANG Worldwide Inc., respectively.

Change of $50.9 million related to non-cash fair value changes on our other financial assets, from an expense amount of $95.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 to an expense of $146.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The expense amount recognized in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 is primarily attributable to fair value decreases relating to our investments in:

Change of $41.6 million related to non-cash fair value changes on acquisition related contingent consideration, from an expense amount in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 to an income amount in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. In fiscal 2019 we acquired ebbu Inc. (“ebbu”), and the consideration paid included contingent consideration related to the achievement, by ebbu, of certain scientific related milestones. The year-over-year change in the fair value of the acquisition related contingent consideration is primarily attributable to changes in our assessment of the probability and timing of ebbu achieving certain of these milestones.

o
The Wana financial instrument, in the amount of $62.6 million, which was attributable primarily to changes in expectations of the future cash flows to be generated by Wana;

Increase in non-cash income of $10.5 million related to fair value changes on the warrant derivative liability associated with the Tranche B Warrants held by CBI. The decrease in the fair value of the warrant derivative liability during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 is primarily attributable to changes during the quarter in certain of the assumptions used to value the liability, including the risk-free interest rate, partially offset by a slight increase in the price of our common shares. Comparatively, the decrease in the fair value of the warrant derivative liability during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was attributable to a decline in our share price from the time the terms of the Tranche B Warrants were amended to June 30, 2019.

o
The Acreage financial instrument, in the amount of $43.6 million. On a quarterly basis, we determine the fair value of the Acreage financial instrument using a probability-weighted expected return model, incorporating several potential scenarios and outcomes associated with the Acreage Amended Arrangement. The fair value decrease in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 is primarily attributable to a decrease of approximately 36% in our share price during the third quarter of fiscal 2024, relative to a decrease of approximately 54% in Acreage’s share price during that same period. As a result, the model at December 31, 2023 reflects both a lower estimated value of the Canopy Growth common shares expected to be issued upon a Triggering Event, and a lower estimated value of the Acreage shares expected to be acquired at that time. In the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the relative share price movements resulted in a decrease in the value of the Acreage financial instrument;

Change of $51.8 million, from an income amount of $31.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 to an expense amount of $20.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, related to the non-cash fair value changes on our senior convertible notes. The price of our common shares increased approximately 7% from April 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020, which resulted in an expense being recognized in the current period. Comparatively, the price of our common shares declined approximately 7% from April 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019, which resulted in income being recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

o
The TerrAscend Exchangeable Shares, in the amount of $22.9 million, which was primarily attributable to a decrease of approximately 21% in TerrAscend’s share price during the third quarter of fiscal 2024;

Non-cash fair value changes of $35.0 million related to the liability arising from the Acreage Arrangement, primarily attributable to the proposed amendments to be made to the Existing Arrangement with Acreage pursuant to the Proposal Agreement during the first quarter of fiscal 2021, as described above in “Recent Developments”.  Specifically, the increase in the fair value of the liability is primarily attributable to the revised exchange ratio in the Proposal Agreement, and the expected incremental shareholder payment of US$37.5 million.  

o
The New Warrants, in the amount of $10.5 million, which was primarily attributable to a decrease of approximately 21% in TerrAscend’s share price during the third quarter of fiscal 2024; and

A decrease in interest income of $13.7 million, primarily attributable to the year-over-year decrease in our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments balances and interest rates.

o
The Jetty financial instrument, in the amount of $9.9 million, which was attributable primarily to changes in expectations of the future cash flows to be generated by Jetty.

These fair value decreases were partially offset by fair value increases related to our investments in:

o
The secured debenture (the "Hempco Debenture") advanced by an affiliate of the Company to Universal Hemp, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Acreage ("Acreage Hempco"), in the amount of $2.1 million, which was attributable primarily to changes in expectations of future cash flows to be received.

Comparatively, the expense amount in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was primarily attributable to fair value decreases relating to our investments in: (i) the TerrAscend Exchangeable Shares ($31.5 million); (ii) the New Warrants ($17.5 million); (iii) the Acreage call option ($35.0 million); (iv) the Wana financial instrument ($16.2 million); and (v) the Jetty financial instrument ($10.2 million). The fair value decreases were partially offset by fair value increases associated with the secured debentures issued by TerrAscend Canada and Arise Bioscience and the associated Prior Warrants, up to the closing of the transactions contemplated in connection with the Debt Settlement Agreement (totaling $9.9 million).

Change of $9.5 million related to charges associated with the settlement of our debt, from an income amount of $8.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 to an expense amount of $0.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. In the third quarter of fiscal 2024 we recognized charges of $0.6 million, primarily in connection with principal repayments on the Credit Facility. The Third Quarter 2024 Paydowns resulted in a principal reduction of $65,379 (US$48,532) for a cash payment of $63,167 (US$46,902) and included write-offs of the related deferred financing costs. Comparatively, in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, we recognized a gain in the amount of $8.9 million in connection with the first payment made in connection with the paydown

56


on November 10, 2022, as we repaid $126.3 million (US$94.4 million) of the principal amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement at a discounted price of US$930 per US$1,000.

Decrease in expense of $3.6 million related to non-cash fair value changes on our debt, from $9.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 to $5.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The year-over-year change is driven by the fair value change of the unsecured senior notes in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 versus the fair value changes on the CBI Note in the third quarter of fiscal 2024.

Decrease in non-cash income of $6.9 million related to fair value changes on acquisition related contingent consideration and other, from $1.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 to $8.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. These fair value changes relate primarily to the estimated deferred payments associated with our investment in Wana, with the fair value changes in both periods primarily associated with changes in expectations of future cash flows to be generated by Wana.

Income tax recovery (expense)

Income tax recovery in the firstthird quarter of fiscal 20212024 was $3.0$1.1 million, compared to income tax expenserecovery of $10.3$1.3 million in the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2020.2023. In the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2021, the2024, income tax recovery consisted of a deferred income tax recovery of $2.1$0.6 million (compared to a recovery of $1.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023) and current income tax recovery of $0.5 million (compared to an expense of $8.3$0.5 million in the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2020) and current income tax recovery2023).

The decrease of $0.9 million (compared to an expense of $2.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020).

The increase of $10.4$1.2 million in the deferred income tax recovery is primarily a result of (i) recording a reductionchange in deferred tax liabilities that arose in connection with the required revaluation of the accounting carrying value, but not the tax basis, of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, and other financial assets; and (ii) the recognition of losses carried forwardassets, net of the use of losses carried forward from prior years for which a deferred tax asset had been recorded. In connection with certain deferred tax assets mainlyrecognized in respect of losses for tax purposes,the quarter where the accounting criteria for recognition of an asset has yet to be satisfied and it is not probable that they will be used, the deferred tax asset has not been recognized.satisfied.

The increase of $2.9$1.0 million in the current income tax recovery arose primarily as a result of the reduction in connection with legal entities that generated losses during the current period that will be used to reduce prior years’ income for tax purposes, and acquirednumber of legal entities that generated income for tax purposes during prior periods that could not be reduced by the group’s tax attributes but whose current period income will now be reduced by the group’s tax attributes.purposes.


Net Loss from Continuing Operations

NetThe net loss from continuing operations in the firstthird quarter of fiscal 20212024 was $128.3$230.3 million, as compared to $194.1a net loss of $226.8 million in the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2020.2023. The decreaseyear-over-year increase in the net loss is primarily attributable toto: (i) the year-over-year increase in loss on asset impairment and restructuring; (ii) the year-over-year change in other income (expense), net, of $55.5 million; and (iii) offset by the decrease in operating expensesselling, general and the otheradministrative expenses. These variances are described above.

Segmented Analysis

In the first quarters of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, all of our revenue was earned by the Cannabis, Hemp and Other Consumer Products segment. Canopy Rivers contributed a net loss of $5.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, of which $1.5 million was attributable to Canopy Growth. In the first quarter of fiscal 2020, Canopy Rivers contributed a net loss of $3.3 million, of which $0.9 million was attributable to Canopy Growth. The increase in the net loss reflects changes in the fair value or carrying value of Canopy Rivers’ strategic equity investments.

Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP Measure)

Our “Adjusted EBITDA” is a non-GAAP measure used by management that is not defined by U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Management calculates Adjusted EBITDA as the reported net loss,income (loss), adjusted to exclude income tax recovery (expense); other income (expense), net; loss on equity method investments; share-based compensation expense; depreciation and amortization expense; (gain)/loss on asset impairment and restructuring; restructuring costs;costs recorded in cost of goods sold; and charges related to the flow-through of inventory step-up on business combinations, and further adjusted to remove acquisition-relatedacquisition, divestiture, and other costs. Asset impairments related to periodic changes to our supply chain processes are not excluded from Adjusted EBITDA given their occurrence through the normal course of core operational activities. Accordingly, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful and useful financial information, as this measure demonstrates the operating performance of businesses.

The Adjusted EBITDA loss in the firstthird quarter of fiscal 20212024 was $92.2$9.0 million, relatively consistent with theas compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $93.4$49.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The year-over-year decrease in Adjusted EBITDA loss is primarily attributable to the year-over-year increase in our gross margin and the year-over-year decrease in our selling, general and administrative expenses.

Net revenue was $224.4 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2023, a decrease of $40.7 million as compared to $265.0 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022.

Canada cannabis

Net revenue from our Canada cannabis segment was $116.6 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $151.3 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022.

Canadian adult-use cannabis net revenue was $71.6 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $109.6 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022.

Net revenue from the business-to-business channel was $71.6 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $73.4 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022. The year-over-year decrease is primarily attributable to lower sales volumes across our premium and value-priced categories which, for the value-priced category, is largely the result of a strategy shift. For the premium category, the decrease is primarily attributable to supply chain constraints and shortages of in-demand flower. This decrease was partially offset by increased sales of our mainstream brands, primarily resulting from improved product attributes and new products introduced under the Tweed brand.
Revenue from the adult-use business-to-consumer channel was $nil in the nine months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $36.2 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022. The year-over-year decrease is attributable to the divestiture of our retail business in Canada in the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

Canadian medical cannabis net revenue was $45.0 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $41.7 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022. The year-over-year increase is primarily attributable to an increase in the average size of medical orders placed by our customers due largely to a shift in our customer mix, and a larger assortment of cannabis product choices offered to our customers.

59


Rest-of-world cannabis

Rest-of-world cannabis revenue was $29.7 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $30.2 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022. The year-over-year decrease is attributable to:

A decline in our U.S. CBD business, primarily due to: (i) the opportunistic sale, in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.2023, of bulk crude CBD resin which did not recur in the first quarter of fiscal 2024; and (ii) the continuing impact of our strategy shift to re-focus and refine our portfolio of product and brand offerings on premium products;
Bulk cannabis sales, predominantly to a customer in an exited international market, in the amount of $4.2 million recognized in the first six months of fiscal 2023, which did not recur in the first six months of fiscal 2024; and
Softness in the German medical cannabis market, offset by increased sales in Australia, Poland and Czech Republic.

Storz & Bickel

Revenue from Storz & Bickel was $48.5 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $49.4 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022. The year-over-year decrease is primarily attributable to production constraints and ramp-up of newly launched portable vaporizer in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, offset by the expansion of our distribution and retail channels in the United States, helped by favorable foreign currency translation.

This Works

Revenue from This Works was $21.3 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $20.7 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022. The year-over-year increase is primarily attributable to an expanded product portfolio in our "Bodycare" line and continued success and strengthening sales velocity of our "In Transit" skincare product lineup, further supported by favorable foreign currency translations, slightly offset by the completion of the This Works Divestiture on December 18, 2023.

Cost of goods sold was $158.9 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $264.2 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022. Our gross margin was $65.4 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2023, or 29% of net revenue, as compared to a gross margin of $0.8 million and gross margin percentage of 0% of net revenue in the nine months ended December 31, 2022. The year-over-year increase in the gross margin percentage is primarily attributable to:


Improvement in our Canada cannabis segment, primarily attributable to: (i) the realized benefit of our cost savings program and strategic changes to our business that were initiated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 and the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023; (ii) a year-over-year decrease in write-downs of excess inventory; and (iii) capturing of value from previously identified excess inventory;
A year-over-year decrease in restructuring charges, from $10.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 to reversal of $0.7 in the first nine months of fiscal 2024. In the first nine months of fiscal 2023, restructuring charges related primarily to inventory write-downs resulting from: (i) the strategic changes to our business that were initiated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, including the shift to a contract manufacturing model for certain product format; and (ii) amounts deemed excess based on current and projected demand; and
Improvement in our Rest-of-world cannabis and This Works segments, primarily due to lower excess and obsolete inventory charges in the first nine months of fiscal 2024.

The factors above, resulting in a year-over-year increase in our gross margin percentage, were partially offset by a decrease in the amount of payroll subsidies received from the Canadian government pursuant to a COVID-19 relief program, from $1.6 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022 to $nil in the nine months ended December 31, 2023.

Canada cannabis

Gross margin for our Canada cannabis segment was $24.7 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2023, or 21% of net revenue, as compared to $(25.5) million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022, or (17%) of net revenue. The year-over-year increase in the gross margin percentage was primarily attributable to: (i) the realized benefit of our cost savings program and strategic changes to our business that were initiated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 and the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023; (ii) a year-over-year decrease in write-downs of excess inventory; and (iii) capturing of value from previously identified excess inventory. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the amount of payroll subsidies received from the Canadian government pursuant to a COVID-19 relief program, from $1.6 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022 to $nil in the nine months ended December 31, 2023.

Rest-of-world cannabis

Gross margin for our rest-of-world cannabis segment was $10.4 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2023, or 35% of net revenue, as compared to $(3.7) million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022, or (12%) of net revenue. The year-over-year increase in the gross margin percentage is primarily attributable to an improvement in our U.S. CBD business, due primarily to the year-over-year decrease in restructuring charges, as we recorded charges of $7.3 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022 relating to inventory write-downs resulting from strategic changes to our business. These charges decreased to $nil in the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and the realized benefit of our cost savings program and the strategic changes made to our business, including the shift to a contract manufacturing model for certain product formats and the re-focusing of our U.S. CBD product and

61


brand portfolio. Further supporting the improved gross margin was a shift in the business mix to increased sales in Australia, Poland and Czech Republic compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2022.

Storz & Bickel

Gross margin for our Storz & Bickel segment was $21.1 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2023, or 43% of net revenue, as compared to $20.8 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022, or 42% of net revenue. Gross margins were broadly consistent on a year-over-year basis.

This Works

Gross margin for our This Works segment was $10.5 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2023, or 50% of net revenue, as compared to $9.0 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022, or 43% of net revenue. The year-over-year increase in the gross margin percentage is primarily due to lower excess and obsolete inventory charges in the nine months ended December 31, 2023.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $174.8 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $271.4 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022.

General and administrative expense was $65.9 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $89.9 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022. The year-over-year decrease is primarily attributable to the impact of the restructuring actions and cost savings programs initiated in the fourth quarters of both fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2023. We realized reductions relative to the nine months ended December 31, 2023 primarily in relation to: (i) compensation costs for finance, information technology, legal and other administrative functions; and (ii) a reduction in facilities and insurance costs. The decrease noted above was partially offset by a year-over-year decrease in the amount of payroll subsidies received from the Canadian government pursuant to a COVID-19 relief program, from $2.9 million received in the nine months ended December 31, 2022 to $nil in the nine months ended December 31, 2023.

Sales and marketing expense was $58.7 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $106.1 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022. The year-over-year decrease is primarily attributable to: (i) the divestiture of our retail business in Canada in the third quarter of fiscal 2023; (ii) cost reductions related to the previously-noted restructuring actions and cost savings programs, which resulted in a rationalization of our sales and marketing spending in certain areas of our business, particularly for our Canadian cannabis and U.S. CBD businesses, and a reduction in compensation costs.

Research and development expense was $3.8 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $17.3 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022. The year-over-year decrease is primarily attributable to cost reductions associated with the previously-noted restructuring actions and cost savings programs, as we: (i) continued to realize reductions in

62


compensation costs and curtail research and development projects; and (ii) shifted to outsourced contract model for certain research and development projects.

Acquisition, divestiture, and other costs were $24.4 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $31.5 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022. In the nine months ended December 31, 2023, costs were incurred primarily in relation to:

Approximately $8.9 million of costs relating to the modification of the Credit Agreement that occurred in July 2023.
Approximately $8.8 million of legal and audit costs related to the restatement of our consolidated financial statements for the following previously filed periods: (i) audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, originally included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, and (ii) unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2022, September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022, originally included in the our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for such quarterly periods, in connection with the correction of material misstatement arising from an internal review of financial reporting matters related to sales in the BioSteel business unit that were accounted for incorrectly, and the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 in June 2023;
The Reorganization of Canopy USA; and
Evaluating other potential acquisition opportunities.

Comparatively, in the nine months ended December 31, 2022, costs were incurred primarily in relation to the Reorganization and the planned divestiture of certain of our corporate-owned retail stores, and evaluating other potential acquisition opportunities.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $22.1 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $26.5 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022. The year-over-year decrease is primarily attributable to: (i) the previously-noted restructuring actions and cost savings programs, including the closure of certain of our Canadian facilities and other operational changes to implement cultivation-related efficiencies and improvements in the Canadian adult-use cannabis business; and (ii) the divestiture of our retail business in Canada in the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

Share-based compensation expense

Share-based compensation expense was $10.1 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $20.9 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022. The year-over-year decrease is primarily attributable to the impact of our previously-noted restructuring actions, which resulted in forfeitures of stock options, restricted share units and performance units and results in lower relative expenses in future periods. While 2.4 million stock options were granted in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and 1.5 million restricted share units were granted in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the associated expense relating to both items partially offset the decrease noted. However, the impact was limited because the stock options and restricted share units were only issued part-way through the period.

Loss on asset impairment and restructuring

Loss on asset impairment and restructuring recorded in operating expenses were $2.5 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $1.8 billion in the nine months ended December 31, 2022.

Loss on asset impairment and restructuring recorded in the nine months ended December 31, 2023 were primarily related to the charges associated with the completion of the This Works Divestiture, as $28.1 million of write-downs occurred due to the sale. In addition, there were various incremental impairment losses and other costs associated with the restructuring of our Canadian cannabis operations that were initiated in the three months ended March 31, 2023. These charges were offset by a gain on the sale of our production facility at 1 Hershey Drive in Smiths Falls, Ontario. The gain is due to the sale proceeds exceeding the carrying value that was previously impaired at March 31, 2023.

Comparatively, in the nine months ended December 31, 2022, the loss on asset impairment and restructuring were primarily related to:

Goodwill impairment losses of $1.8 billion, substantially of which was associated with our cannabis operations reporting unit in the global cannabis segment. Refer to “Impairment of Goodwill” in “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” section below;
Impairment losses associated with the planned divestiture of our Canadian retail operations, as we recorded write-downs of property, plant and equipment, operating license and brand intangible assets, right-of-use assets, and certain other assets due to the excess of their carrying values over their estimated fair value; and
Incremental costs primarily associated with the restructuring actions completed in fiscal 2022, including the closure of certain of our Canadian production facilities, and operational changes initiated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 to: (i) implement

63


cultivation-related efficiencies and improvements in the Canadian recreational cannabis business; and (ii) implement a flexible manufacturing platform, including contract manufacturing for certain product formats.

Other income (expense), net

Other income (expense), net was an expense amount of $253.3 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to an expense amount of $396.1 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022. The year-over-year change of $142.8 million is primarily attributable to:

Change of $232.9 million related to non-cash fair value changes on our other financial assets, from an expense amount of $396.8 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022 to $163.9 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2023. The expense amount recognized in the nine months ended December 31, 2023 is primarily attributable to fair value decreases relating to our investments in:
o
The Wana financial instrument, in the amount of $111.8 million, primarily attributable to changes in expectations of future cash flows to be generated by Wana;
o
The Jetty financial instrument, in the amount of $27.2 million, primarily attributable to changes in expectations of future cash flows to be generated by Jetty;
o
The Acreage financial instrument, in the amount of $22.3 million. On a quarterly basis, we determine the fair value of the Acreage financial instrument using a probability-weighted expected return model, incorporating several potential scenarios and outcomes associated with the Acreage Amended Arrangement. The fair value increase in the nine months ended December 31, 2023 is primarily attributable to a decrease of approximately 71% in our share price during the nine months ended December 31, 2023, relative to a decrease of approximately 67% in Acreage’s share price during that same period. As a result, the model at December 31, 2023 reflects both a lower estimated value of the Canopy Growth common shares expected to be issued upon a Triggering Event, and a lower estimated value of the Acreage shares expected to be acquired at that time. In the nine months ended December 31, 2023, the relative share price movements resulted in an increase in the value of the Acreage financial instrument; and
o
The Hempco Debenture, in the amount of $15.8 million, primarily attributable to changes in expectations of future cash flows to be received.

These fair value decreases were partially offset by fair value increases primarily attributable to our investments in:

o
The TerrAscend Exchangeable Shares, in the amount of $10.2 million, primarily attributable to an increase of approximately 7% in TerrAscend’s share price during the nine months ended December 31, 2023; and
o
The New Warrants, in the amount of $2.7 million, primarily attributable to an increase of approximately 7% in TerrAscend’s share price during the nine months ended December 31, 2023.

Comparatively, the expense amount in the nine months ended December 31, 2022 was primarily attributable to fair value decreases relating to our investments in: (i) the TerrAscend Exchangeable Shares ($207.0 million); (ii) the secured debentures issued by TerrAscend Canada and Arise Bioscience and associated Prior Warrants (totaling $58.7 million); (iii) the New Warrants issued by TerrAscend ($17.5 million) and (iv) the TerrAscend Option ($5.1 million), which were all driven largely by a decrease of approximately 78% in TerrAscend’s share price in the nine months ended December 31, 2022. Additionally, the fair value of our investment in the Wana and Jetty financial instruments decreased $135.4 million and $9.8 million, respectively, due primarily to changes in expectations of the future cash flows to be generated by Wana and an increase in discount rates used in the valuation of both the Wana and Jetty financial instruments. The fair value decreases were partially offset by a fair value increase related to the Acreage financial instrument in the amount of $37.0 million.

Increase of $17.3 million related to charges associated with the settlement of our debt, from $4.2 million income in the nine months ended December 31, 2022 to $13.1 million expense in the nine months ended December 31, 2023. In the nine months ended December 31, 2023 we recognized charges of $13.1 million, primarily in connection with the conversion of the Convertible Debentures (as described above under “Recent Developments”) into Canopy Growth common shares at a

64


conversion price of 92.5% of the volume-weighted average price of our common shares during the three consecutive trading days ending on the business day immediately prior to the date of conversion and the Second Quarter 2024 Paydowns and Third Quarter 2024 Paydowns which resulted in a principal reduction of $73,313 (US$54,491) and $65,379 (US$48,532), respectively, for a cash payment of $69,647 (US$51,766) and $63,167 (US$46,902), respectively, and included write-offs of the related deferred financing costs. These charges were partially offset by a gain recognized upon the second payment made in connection with the Paydown on April 17, 2023 (also as described above under “Recent Developments”), as we repaid $125.6 million (US$93.8 million) of the principal amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement at a discounted price of US$930 per US$1,000.
Comparatively, in the nine months ended December 31, 2022, we recognized income in the amount of $4.2 million primarily relating to: (i) the gain recognized upon the first payment made in connection with the paydown on November 10, 2022, as we repaid $126.3 million (US$94.4 million) of the principal amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement at a discounted price of US$930 per US$1,000; and (ii) the release of amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in relation to the credit risk fair value adjustment associated with the portion of the Canopy Notes that were acquired and cancelled in June and July 2022. These were offset by charges relating to the Exchange Transaction and primarily include: (i) the recognition of, and fair value changes through to the Final Closing on, a derivative liability in connection with the incremental common shares that were potentially issuable as at June 30, 2022 at the Averaging Price on the Final Closing, pursuant to the Exchange Agreements; and (ii) professional fees associated with the Exchange Transaction.

Change of $1.8 million related to non-cash fair value changes on our debt, from an expense amount of $32.4 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022 to an expense amount of $30.6 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2023. The year-over-year change, is primarily attributable to the fair value changes on the unsecured non-interest bearing convertible debentures, partially offset by the fair value changes on the CBI Note, and the fair value change of the unsecured senior notes prior to redemption in July 2023; compared to the fair value change of the unsecured senior notes in the nine months ended December 31, 2022.

Decrease in non-cash income of $26.3 million related to fair value changes on the warrant derivative liability associated with the Tranche B Warrants, from an income amount of $26.3 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022 to a fair value change of $nil in the nine months ended December 31, 2023. The fair value change of $nil in the nine months ended December 31, 2023 is the result of the fair value of the warrant derivative liability decreasing to $nil in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, and expiring as of November 1, 2023. Comparatively, the income amount recognized in the nine months ended December 31, 2022 of $26.3 million, associated with a decrease in the fair value of the warrant derivative liability, was primarily attributable to a decrease of approximately 67% in our common share price during the nine months ended December 31, 2022, further impacted by an increase in the risk-free interest rate and a shorter expected time to maturity of the Tranche B Warrants.

Decrease in non-cash income of $6.8 million related to fair value changes on acquisition related contingent consideration and other, from $25.9 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022 to $19.1 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2023. These fair value changes relate primarily to the estimated deferred payments associated with our investment in Wana, with the fair value changes in both periods primarily associated with changes in expectations of future cash flows to be generated by Wana.

Decrease in non-cash income of $47.0 million related to the fair value changes on the liability arising from the Acreage Amended Arrangement, from an income amount of $47.0 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022 to a fair value change of $nil in the nine months ended December 31, 2023. The fair value change of $nil associated with the Acreage financial instrument in the nine months ended December 31, 2023 is a result of the change from a liability amount to an asset amount recorded in other financial assets; in the nine months ended December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Acreage financial instrument increased, as explained above, and remained in an asset position. Comparatively, the income amount recognized in the nine months ended December 31, 2022, associated with a decrease in the liability arising from the Acreage Amended Arrangement to $nil, was primarily attributable to a decrease of approximately 61% in our share price during the first quarter of fiscal 2023, relative to a decrease of approximately 27% in Acreage’s share price during that same period. As a result, the probability-weighted expected return model used to determine the fair value of the liability arising from the Acreage Amended Arrangement at June 30, 2022 reflected a lower estimated value of the Canopy Growth common shares expected to be issued at the exchange ratio of 0.03048 upon a Triggering Event, relative to the estimated value of the Fixed Shares expected to be acquired at that time (changes in our share price have a more significant impact on the model relative to changes in Acreage’s share price); in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, this resulted in a change from a liability amount to an asset amount.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense in the nine months ended December 31, 2023 was $13.8 million, compared to income tax expense of $10.6 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022. In the nine months ended December 31, 2023, income tax expense consisted of

65


deferred income tax expense of $13.4 million (compared to an expense of $7.0 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022) and current income tax expense of $0.4 million (compared to an expense of $3.6 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022).

The increase of $6.4 million in the deferred income tax expense is primarily a result of (i) an increase due to the settlements of the Canopy Notes; and (ii) decrease in the change in deferred tax liabilities that arose in connection with the required revaluation of the accounting carrying value, but not the tax basis, of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, and other financial assets.

The decrease of $3.2 million in current income tax expense arose primarily as a result of the reduction in the number of legal entities that generated income for tax purposes.

Net Loss from Continuing Operations

The net loss in the nine months ended December 31, 2023 was $389.0 million, as compared to a net loss of $2.5 billion in the nine months ended December 31, 2022. The year-over-year decrease in the net loss is primarily attributable to: (i) the year-over-year change from a loss on asset impairment and restructuring with respect to goodwill impairment losses of $1.7 billion recorded in the nine months ended December 31, 2022 to a gain on asset impairment and restructuring; (ii) the year-over-year change in other income (expense), net, of $142.8 million; and (iii) the decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses. These variances are described above.

Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP Measure)

Our “Adjusted EBITDA” is a non-GAAP measure used by management that is not defined by U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Management calculates Adjusted EBITDA as the reported net income (loss), adjusted to exclude income tax recovery (expense); other income (expense), net; loss on equity method investments; share-based compensation expense; depreciation and amortization expense; (gain)/loss on asset impairment and restructuring; restructuring costs recorded in cost of goods sold; and charges related to the flow-through of inventory step-up on business combinations, and further adjusted to remove acquisition, divestiture, and other costs. Asset impairments related to periodic changes to our supply chain processes are not excluded from Adjusted EBITDA given their occurrence through the normal course of core operational activities. Accordingly, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful and useful financial information, as this measure demonstrates the operating performance of businesses.

1 From Statements of Cash Flows.

 

The Adjusted EBITDA loss in the nine months ended December 31, 2023 was $43.8 million, as compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $168.2 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2022. The year-over-year decrease in the Adjusted EBITDA loss is primarily attributable to the year-over-year increase in our gross margin, and the year-over-year decrease in our selling, general and administrative expenses.

Part 3 – Financial Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

We manage liquidity risk by reviewing, on an ongoing basis, our sources of liquidity and capital requirements. 66


As of June 30, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $975.9 million and short-term investments of $1.1 billion, which are predominantly investedreflected in liquid securities issued by the United States and Canadian governments. Additionally,Interim Financial Statements, we have capacity of $34.7 million under our $40.0 million revolving debt facility with Farm Credit Canada (“FCC”). In evaluating our capital requirements, including the impact, if any, onsuffered recurring losses from operations and require additional financing to fund our business fromand operations. If we are unable to raise additional capital, it is possible that we will be unable to meet certain of our financial obligations.

These matters, when considered in the COVID-19 pandemic, andaggregate, raise substantial doubt about our ability to fundcontinue as a going concern for at least twelve months from the executionissuance of the Interim Financial Statements.

In view of these matters, continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our strategy, we believe we have adequate available liquidity to enable uscontinued operations, which in turn is dependent upon our ability to meet our workingfinancial requirements and to raise additional capital, and other operating requirements, fund growth initiativesthe success of our future operations. The Interim Financial Statements do not include any adjustments to the amount and capital expenditures, settle ourclassification of assets and liabilities and repay scheduled principal and interest payments on debt for at least the next twelve months.that may be necessary should we not continue as a going concern.

Our objective is to generate sufficient cashManagement plans to fund our operating requirementsoperations and expansion plans. While we have incurred net losses on a U.S. GAAP basisdebt obligations through existing cash positions. We are also currently evaluating several different strategies and Adjusted EBITDA lossesintend to date andpursue actions that are expected to increase our cash and cash equivalents have decreased $327.3 million from March 31, 2020 (and, together with short-term investments, increased $60.3 million from March 31, 2020), as discussed in the “Cash Flows” section below, management anticipates the success and eventual profitability of the business. We have also ensured that we have access to public capital markets through our U.S. and Canadian public stock exchange listings. However, there can be no assurance that we will gain adequate market acceptance for our products or be able to generate sufficient positive cash flow to achieve our business plans. In the first quarter of fiscal 2021, our purchases of and deposits on property, plant and equipment totaled $61.5 million, which were funded out of available cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Included in our purchase obligations for fiscal 2021, as reflected under the heading “Contractual Obligations and Commitments” in the MD&A section of our Annual Report, are commitments for the purchase of property, plant and equipment totaling $73.2 million in fiscal 2021. We expect to continue funding these purchases with our available cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Therefore, we are subject to risksliquidity position, including, but not limited to, pursuing additional actions under our inabilitycost-savings plan, seeking additional financing from both the public and private markets through the issuance of equity and/or debt securities, and monetizing additional assets.

Our management cannot provide assurances that we will be successful in accomplishing any of our proposed financing plans. Our management also cannot provide any assurance as to unforeseen circumstances that could occur within the next 12 months or, if after we raise capital, thereafter, which could increase our need to raise additional fundscapital on an immediate basis, which capital may not be available to us.

We have completed the following debt financings:

On March 18, 2021, we entered into a term loan credit agreement with the lenders party thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders (the "Credit Agreement") providing for a five-year, first lien senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of US$750.0 million (the "Credit Facility"). As described under "Recent Developments" above, pursuant to the balance sheet actions completed in connection with the Reorganization, on October 24, 2022, we entered into agreements with certain of our lenders under the Credit Facility pursuant to which we agreed to purchase in the aggregate US$187.5 million of the principal indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Facility at a discounted price of US$930 per $1,000 or US$174,375 in the aggregate. The first payment, which was oversubscribed, in the amount of approximately $117.5 million (US$87.9 million) was made on November 10, 2022 to reduce the principal indebtedness under the Credit Facility by approximately $126.3 million (US$94.4 million). The second payment of approximately $116.8 million (US$87.2 million) was made on April 17, 2023 to reduce principal indebtedness under the Credit Facility by approximately $125.6 million (US$93.8 million). Additionally, on October 24, 2022, we and certain of our lenders agreed to make certain amendments to the Credit Agreement which, among other things, resulted in: (i) a reduction to the minimum liquidity covenant to no less than US$100.0 million following completion of the second principal repurchase on April 17, 2023; (ii) certain changes to the application of net proceeds from asset sales; (iii) the establishment of a new committed delayed draw term credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of US$100.0 million; and (iv) the elimination of the additional US$500.0 million incremental term loan facility.

As described above under “Recent Developments”, on July 13, 2023, we entered into agreements with certain of our lenders under the Credit Agreement pursuant to which certain additional amendments were made to the Credit Agreement (collectively, the Credit Agreement, as amended as of July 13, 2023, is referred to herein as the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The Amended Credit Agreement required us to prepay or repurchase principal indebtedness under the Credit Facility in an amount equal to the US dollar equivalent of $93,000 at a discounted price of US$930 per US$1,000 (the “July 2023 Paydown”). In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement requires us to apply certain net proceeds from asset sales to prepay or repurchase principal indebtedness under the Credit Facility and receive principal reductions at, in certain circumstances, a discounted price of US$950 per US$1,000. The Amended Credit Agreement also includes, among other things, amendments to the minimum liquidity covenant such that the US$100,000 minimum ceased to apply concurrently with the July 2023 Paydown. The July 2023 Paydown was made on July 21, 2023.

As described above under "Recent Developments", on each of August 11, 2023 and September 14, 2023, we repurchased additional outstanding principal amounts under the Credit Facility using certain net proceeds from completed asset sales (the "Second Quarter 2024 Paydowns"). The Second Quarter 2024 Paydowns resulted in an aggregate principal reduction of $73.3 million (US$54.5 million) for a cash payment of $69.6 million (US$51.8 million).

On each of November 28, 2023 and December 27, 2023, pursuant to the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, we repurchased and repaid, as applicable, additional outstanding principal amounts under the Credit Facility using certain net

67


proceeds from completed asset sales (the "Third Quarter 2024 Paydowns"). The Third Quarter 2024 Paydowns resulted in an aggregate principal reduction of $65.4 million (US$48.5 million) for a cash payment of $63.2 million (US$46.9 million).

On February 21, 2023, we entered into the Convertible Debenture Agreement with an Institutional Investor pursuant to which the Institutional Investor purchased $135.2 million (US$100.0 million) aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Debentures in a registered direct offering. As of June 30, 2023, all conversions pursuant to the Convertible Debentures were completed and the amount outstanding under the Convertible Debentures was $nil.

On April 13, 2023, we entered into the April 2023 Exchange Agreement with Greenstar in order to acquire and cancel $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding Canopy Notes. Pursuant to the April 2023 Exchange Agreement, we agreed to acquire and cancel $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Canopy Notes held by Greenstar in exchange for: (i) a cash payment to Greenstar in the amount of the unpaid and accrued interest owing under the Canopy Notes held by Greenstar; and (ii) the CBI Note (collectively, the "CBI Transaction"). As a result, Greenstar no longer holds any Canopy Notes. Following closing of the CBI Transaction and the creation of the Exchangeable Shares, we maintain our intention to negotiate an exchange with Greenstar to purchase the CBI Notes in exchange for Exchangeable Shares.

On June 29, 2023, we entered into the June 2023 Exchange Agreements with certain Noteholders in connection with the June 2023 Exchange Transaction to acquire and cancel $12.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Canopy Notes from such Noteholders in exchange for cash, including accrued and unpaid interest owing under the Canopy Notes, and the issuance of approximately 2.43 million Canopy Growth common shares.

On July 13, 2023, we entered into the Redemption Agreements with certain Noteholders, pursuant to which approximately $193 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Canopy Notes held by such Noteholders were redeemed by us on the applicable closing date for: (i) an aggregate cash payment of approximately $101 million; (ii) the issuance of an aggregate 9.04 million Canopy Growth common shares; and (iii) the issuance of approximately $40.4 million aggregate principal amount of Debentures. Following the Redemption, we settled the remaining aggregate principal amount owing under the outstanding Canopy Notes and, as of the maturity date, there were no Canopy Notes outstanding. As of September 30, 2023, all conversions pursuant to the Debentures have been completed and the amount outstanding under the Debentures was $nil.

On September 18, 2023, we entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain institutional investors (the “Investors”). Pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreements, we issued 2.29 million units of the Company (the "Units") to the Investors at a price per Unit of US$10.90 for aggregate gross proceeds of $33.7 million (US$25.0 million) (the “Unit Offering”). Each Unit is comprised of one Canopy Growth common share and one common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Canopy Growth common share at a price per share equal to US$13.50 for a period of five years from the date of issuance. The Unit Offering closed on September 19, 2023. The Investors also held an over-allotment option to acquire up to an additional 2.29 million Units at a price per Unit of US$10.90 for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately US$25.0 million at the discretion of the Investors at any time on or before November 2, 2023 (the “Over-Allotment Option”). The Over-Allotment Option was not exercised by the Investors and expired on November 2, 2023.

On January 18, 2024, we entered into subscription agreements (the "January 2024 Subscription Agreements") with certain institutional investors (the "January 2024 Investors"). Pursuant to the terms of the January 2024 Subscription Agreements, we issued 8.16 million units of the Company (the "January 2024 Units") to the January 2024 Investors at a price per January 2024 Unit of US$4.29 for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $47.1 million (US$35.0 million) (the "January 2024 Unit Offering"). Each January 2024 Unit is comprised of (a) one Canopy Growth common share and (b)(i) one Series A common share purchase warrant (a "Series A Warrant") or (ii) one Series B common share purchase warrant (a "Series B Warrant" and, together with the Series A Warrants, the "January 2024 Warrants"). Each January 2024 Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Canopy Growth common share from the Company at a price per share equal to US$4.83. The Series A Warrants are currently exercisable and will remain exercisable until January 19, 2029, and the Series B Warrants will be exercisable for a period commencing on July 19, 2024 until July 19, 2029. The January 2024 Unit Offering closed on January 19, 2024.

In addition to the above, we continue to review and pursue selected external financing sources to ensure adequate financial resources. These potential sources include, but are not limited to: (i) obtaining financing from traditional or non-traditional investment capital organizations; (ii) obtaining funding from the sale of our common shares or other equity or debt instruments; and (iii) obtaining debt financing with lending terms that more closely match our business model and capital needs. We may from time to time seek to retire our outstanding debt through debtcash purchases and/or exchanges for equity financing to supportsecurities, and open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our continued development, including capital expenditureliquidity requirements, operating requirementscontractual restrictions and to meet our liabilities and commitments as they come due.other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

The year-over-year decrease in the cash used in operating activities wasis primarily due to: (i) the year-over-year decrease in our working capital spending, resulting from our previously-noted restructuring actions and cost savings programs, including the closure of certain of our Canadian facilities and other operational changes to implement cultivation-related efficiencies and improvements in the Canadian adult-use cannabis business; and (ii) a reduction in the cash interest paid resulting from a reduction in our debt balances.

The year-over-year decrease in the net loss,redemptions reflects the continued redemption of our short-term investments, largely to fund operations and a year-over-year reductioninvesting activities as described above. As at December 31, 2023, we had short-term investments remaining of $43.4 million.

Net cash flow on sale of subsidiaries in our working capital spending on inventory primarily attributablethe nine months ended December 31, 2023 was an outflow of $3.7 million and related to the lower production outputcompletion of the This Works Divestiture, refer to Note 27 of the financial statements for details.

These factors were partially offset by an overall decrease in the non-cash income and expense items impacting the net loss.

Comparatively, in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 we invested $211.8 million in expanding our Canadian and international growing capacity, and in the construction of advanced manufacturing capability and a bottling plant at our Smiths Falls location. The year-over-year decrease in our purchases of property, plant and equipment reflects the substantial completion of our cultivation and Cannabis 2.0 infrastructure build-out, and the shift in strategy to an asset-light model in certain markets.  


In the first quarter of fiscal 2021 we did not complete any acquisitions, whereas in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 cash outflows related to acquisitions totaled $425.0, and included our acquisitions of C3 and This Works.

Additional cash inflows during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 related to proceeds of $18.3 million from the sale of a portfolio of patents in Germany, and $10.0 million related to a recovery of amounts related to construction financing.

Partially offsetting these decreases in cash outflows was the net purchase of short-term investments in the first quarter of fiscal 2021long-term debt in the amount of $382.5 million, as compared$480.1 million. These repayments primarily related to the net redemptionsecond payment made pursuant to the Paydown, the July 2023 Paydown, the Second Quarter 2024 Paydowns, the Third Quarter 2024 Paydowns and settlement of short-term investmentsCanopy Notes.

Other financing activities resulted in a cash outflow of $687.8$27.2 million, which related to: (i) payments made in connection with terminating the first quarter of fiscal 2020. finance lease for the cultivation facility in Mirabel, Quebec and (ii) share issuance, debt issuance and debt extinguishment costs.

The year-over-year change reflects our investment of thecash used in financing activities was partially offset by proceeds from CBI exercising their warrants during the quarter (see below) in relatively safe, liquid investments.

Free Cash Flow (Non-GAAP Measure)

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure used by management that is not defined by U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Management believes that free cash flow presents meaningful information regarding the amount of cash flow required to maintain and organically expand our business, and that the free cash flow measure provides meaningful information regarding our liquidity requirements.

Debt

Since our formation, we have financed our cash requirements primarily through the issuance of capital stock,common shares of Canopy Growth, including the $5.1 billion investment by CBI in the third quarter of fiscal 2019, and debt. Total debt outstanding as of June 30, 2020December 31, 2023 was $500.4$612.1 million, as compared to $465.4 milliona decrease from $1.3 billion as of March 31, 2020.2023.

These decreases were due to: (i) the repayment of $125.6 million (US$93.8 million) of the principal amount owingoutstanding under the Credit Agreement as part of $615.2the Paydown, as described under "Recent Developments" above; (ii) the conversion, into Canopy Growth common shares, of the remaining amount outstanding under the Convertible Debentures of $93.2 million; (iii) the June 2023 Exchange Transaction, which resulted in the

As described above under “Recent Developments”, on July 13, 2023, we entered into the Amended Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement we were required to make the July 2023 Paydown.

As a result, all conversions of Canopy Notes following the execution of the Supplemental Indenture will be settled entirely in cash.

On April 13, 2023, we entered into the April 2023 Exchange Agreement with Greenstar in order to acquire and cancel $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding Canopy Notes. Pursuant to the April 2023 Exchange Agreement, we agreed to acquire and cancel $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Canopy Notes held by Greenstar in exchange for: (i) a cash payment to Greenstar in the amount of the unpaid and accrued interest owing under the Canopy Notes held by Greenstar; and (ii) the CBI Note.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in the MD&A section in our Annual Report.


Impairment of goodwill


We do not believe that an event occurred or circumstances changed during the third quarter of fiscal 2024 that would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value of the Storz & Bickel reporting unit below its carrying value. Therefore, we concluded that the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment was not required for the Storz & Bickel reporting unit at December 31, 2023. The carrying value of goodwill associated with the Storz & Bickel reporting unit was $85,237 at December 31, 2023.

We are required to perform our next annual goodwill impairment analysis on March 31, 2024, or earlier should there be an event that occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market risk is the potential economic loss arising from adverse changes in market factors. As a result of our global operating, acquisition and financing activities, we are exposed to market risk associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest

73


rates and equity prices. To manage the volatility relating to these risks, we may periodically purchase derivative instruments including foreign currency forwards. We do not enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Foreign currency risk

Our Interim Financial Statements are presented in Canadian dollars. We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk as the functional currencies of certain subsidiaries, including those in the United States and Europe, are not in Canadian dollars. The translation of foreign currencies to Canadian dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and for revenues and expense using an average exchange rate for the period. Therefore, fluctuations in the value of the Canadian dollar affect the reported amounts of net revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities. The resulting translation adjustments are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss on the consolidated balance sheet.

A hypothetical 10% change in the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar compared to the exchange rate at June 30, 2020,December 31, 2023, would affect the carrying value of net assets by approximately $111.1$66.6 million, with a corresponding impact to the foreign currency translation account within accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.(loss). A hypothetical 10% change in the euro against the Canadian dollar compared to the exchange rate at June 30, 2020,December 31, 2023, would affect the carrying value of net assets by approximately $17.3$24.0 million, with a corresponding impact to the foreign currency translation account within accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.(loss).

We also have exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates associated with transactions which are undertaken by our subsidiaries in currencies other than their functional currency. As a result, we have been impacted by changes in exchange rates and may be impacted for the foreseeable future.

Foreign currency derivative instruments may be used to hedge existing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, forecasted foreign currency denominated sales/purchases to/from third parties as well as intercompany sales/purchases, intercompany principal and interest payments, and in connection with acquisitions, divestitures or investments outside of Canada. Historically, while we have purchased derivative instruments to mitigate the foreign exchange risks associated with certain transactions, the impact of these hedging transactions on our Financial Statements and Interim Financial Statementsfinancial statements has been immaterial.

Interest rate risk

Our cash equivalents and short-term investments are held in both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate securities. Investments in fixed-rate instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. The fair value of fixed-rate securities may be adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates. Additionally, a falling-rate environment creates reinvestment risk because as securities mature, the proceeds are reinvested at a lower rate, generating less interest income. As at June 30, 2020,December 31, 2023, our cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments consisted of $1.5 billion, as compared to $1.3 billion at March 31, 2020,$99 million in interest rate sensitive instruments.instruments (March 31, 2023 – $0.3 billion).

Our financial liabilities consist of long-term fixed rate debt and floating-rate debt. Fluctuations in interest rates could impact our cash flows, primarily with respect to the interest payable on floating-rate debt.

Equity price risk

We hold other financial assets and liabilities in the form of investments in shares, warrants, options, put liabilities, and convertible debentures that are measured at fair value and recorded through either net income (loss) or other comprehensive income (loss). We are exposed to price risk on these financial assets, which is the risk of variability in fair value due to movements in equity or market prices.


For our convertible senior notes, a primary driver of its fair value is our share price. An increase in our share price typically results in a fair value increase of the liability.

Information regarding the fair value of financial instrument assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and the relationship between the unobservable inputs used in the valuation of these financial assets and their fair value is presented in Note 2223 of the Interim Financial Statements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, and summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-QQuarterly Report was made under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2020,December 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures (a) arewere not effective as of such date due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to information technology ("IT") general controls that were disclosed in Item 9A of the Annual Report.

Previously Reported Material Weaknesses

As previously disclosed in Item 9A of the Annual Report, we previously identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting relating to:

The accounting for sales recorded by the BioSteel segment, which resulted in material misstatements relating to revenue and trade receivables, particularly with respect to the timing and amount of revenue recognition. Specifically, we did not design and maintain effective controls to sufficiently assess the timing, amount, and appropriateness of revenue recognition. This included a lack of segregation of duties in the review of customer orders, inadequate controls over the review and approval of sales returns, and inadequate controls relating to revenue recognition policies and procedures. This also contributed to the failure to impair goodwill related to the BioSteel reporting unit on a timely basis as changes in the performance of BioSteel were not identified in a timely manner, and the failure to accurately record the redeemable noncontrolling interest; and
IT general control deficiencies that aggregated to a material weakness. These deficiencies specifically related to: (i) logical access management, including untimely periodic access review, access provisioning and modification, removal of user access and change management controls with respect to a payroll system implemented during the year; and (ii) untimely and inconsistent monitoring and oversight of third-party service organizations. Although we have identified no instances of any adverse effects due to these deficiencies, business processes that depend on the affected information systems or that depend on data from the affected information systems, could be adversely impacted.

Status of Remediation of Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management has developed a remediation plan to address the previously disclosed material weaknesses for which we implemented process and control improvements.

IT General Controls

Management continues to make progress in the remediation of all IT general control individual deficiencies that corresponded to the material weakness. The completed remediation actions include:

Improving the privileged access review process and performing a review of all in-scope systems for privileged user access;
Performing a review of the tools and improving the process relied upon to ensure that informationusers terminations or transfers are timely updated in systems;
Improving the access approval requirements to ensure all access requests are properly approved and documented prior to granting/modifying user access;
Adding a dedicated resource to support and perform key IT general controls, including privileged access review and review of third-party service organization control reports to assess their impact in relation to the control environment. Additionally, training on third-party service organization control reports review was delivered to relevant control owners; and

75


Improving the retention of evidence for testing and approval of system changes.
Training on strengthening Canopy Growth’s control environment was completed for all key stakeholders.

BioSteel business-to-business sales

Effective September 14, 2023, Canopy Growth no longer has a controlling interest in BioSteel Sports Nutrition Inc. ("BioSteel Canada"), and effective November 16, 2023, Canopy Growth no longer has a controlling interest in BioSteel Manufacturing, LLC ("BioSteel Manufacturing") and BioSteel Sports Nutrition USA LLC. Further, during November 2023, Canopy Growth completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of BioSteel Canada and BioSteel Manufacturing. As a result, the BioSteel segment is no longer considered part of management’s internal control over financial reporting and the material weakness previously identified in our internal controls is no longer applicable to Canopy Growth.

To remediate the existing material weakness on IT general controls, additional time is required to demonstrate the effectiveness of the remediation efforts. The material weakness cannot be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted underconsidered remediated until the Exchange Act is timely recorded, processed, summarizedapplicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and reported and (b) include, without limitation,management has concluded, through testing, that these controls and procedures designed to ensureare operating effectively. We may also conclude that informationadditional measures may be required to be disclosedremediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, which may necessitate further action. Remediation actions are subject to ongoing senior management review as well as oversight by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.Audit Committee of the Board.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial ReportingReporting.

There have beenWe are taking actions to remediate the material weakness relating to our internal control over financial reporting as described above. Except as discussed above, there were no changes in our “internal control over financial reporting” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-QQuarterly Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Other than as disclosed below, we are not aware of: (a) any legal proceedings to which we are a party, or to which any of our properties is subject, which would be material to us or of any such proceedings being contemplated, (b) any penalties or sanctions imposed by a court relating to securities legislation, or other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body against us that would likely be considered important to a reasonable investor making an investment decision, and (c) any settlement agreements that we have entered into before a court relating to securities legislation or with a securities regulatory authority.

On July 22, 2020,May 23, 2023, an ostensible shareholder commenced a putative class action (Turpel v. Canopy Growth Corporation, et al., Case No. 1:23-cv-043022-PAE) against the Company and two of its officers in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s securities between May 31, 2022 and May 10, 2023, alleging violations of U.S. federal securities laws. Two similar cases were subsequently filed, captioned as Kantner v. Canopy Growth Corporation, et al., Case No. 1:23-cv-06266-PAE and Allen v. Canopy Growth Corporation, et al., Case No. 1:23-cv-05891-PAE. On November 30, 2023, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York consolidated the Turpel, Kantner and Allen actions (captioned as “In re Canopy Growth Securities Litigation, No. 23-cv-04302”) and appointed Chen Li as lead plaintiff. On January 22, 2024, the lead plaintiff filed a first amended complaint against the Company and certain of its current and former officers, alleging claims on behalf of persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s securities between November 5, 2021 and June 22, 2023. The first amended complaint alleges that the Company made false or misleading statements and omissions regarding BioSteel’s revenue, performance and operations, and the Company’s internal controls over accounting and financial reporting in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The lead plaintiff seeks an unspecified amount of damages, attorneys’ fees and costs, and other relief. The Company anticipates filing a motion to dismiss the first amended complaint on or before March 7, 2024.

On January 18, 2024, a follow-on derivative shareholder lawsuit, captioned Press v. Schmeling et al., was served withfiled in the Supreme Court of the State of New York by ostensible shareholder Denise Press on behalf of Canopy Growth Corporation against the Company’s directors and certain of its officers based on substantially the same allegations as those alleged in the In re Canopy Growth Securities Litigation described above. The complaint asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duties, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment, and insider trading, and seeks damages, attorneys’ fees and costs, and equitable relief.

On June 27, 2023, an ostensible shareholder commenced a statementputative class action (Dziedziejko v. Canopy Growth Corporation et al., Court File No. CV-23-00701769-00CP) in the Ontario Superior Court of claimJustice against the Company, two of its officers, and the Company’s auditor on behalf of a putative class of all persons or entities who acquired Canopy’s securities in which it was named, together with several other Canadian licensed cannabis producers, as a defendantthe secondary market between June 1, 2021 to June 22, 2023 and held some or all of those securities until the close of trading on May 10, 2023 or June 22, 2023.

The plaintiff alleges that the Company’s disclosures contained misrepresentations within the meaning of the Securities Act (Ontario), that certain officers authorized, permitted, or acquiesced in the release of the impugned disclosures, that the Company and one of its officers acted in a manner that was oppressive or unfairly prejudicial to the proposed class members by failing to remedy alleged deficiencies in the Company’s internal controls, and that all of the defendants are liable for damages to the putative class. The action proceeding filedseeks an unspecified amount of damages, interest, legal fees, and the costs of administering a plan of distribution of the recovery. The Company was also named in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The plaintiffs allegetwo other putative class proceedings that were commenced between May 2023 and July 2023 in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice regarding that the defendants, includingCompany’s disclosures contained misrepresentations. However, on November 10, 2023, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice decided a carriage motion staying those actions (Leonard v. Canopy Growth Corporation et al., Court File No. CV-23-00702281-00CP and Twidale v. Canopy Growth Corporation et al., Court File No. CV-23-00700135-00CP), and allowing Dziedziejko v. Canopy Growth Corporation et al., Court File No. CV-23-00701769-00CP to proceed to a class certification hearing.

On June 15, 2023, an ostensible shareholder commenced a putative class action (Asmaro v. Canopy Growth Corporation et al., Court File No. VLC-S-S-234351) against the Company marketed and sold medicinaltwo of its officers in the Supreme Court of British Columbia on behalf of a putative class of all persons and recreational cannabis products with an advertised contententities who purchased or otherwise acquired securities of THCthe Company between August 6, 2021 and CBDMay 10, 2023. The lawsuit alleges that was inaccuratethe Company’s disclosures contained misrepresentations within the meaning of the Securities Act (British Columbia), that certain officers authorized, permitted, or acquiesced in the release of the impugned disclosures, and that all of the defendants are liable for damages to the putative class. The plaintiff seeks an unspecified amount of damages.

In May 2023, in connection with the Company’s internal review of the financial reporting matters related to BioSteel, as previously disclosed in the Annual Report (the “BioSteel Review”), the Company voluntarily self-reported to the SEC that the timing and amount of revenue recognition in the BioSteel segment were under review. As a result of self-reporting the BioSteel Review, the

77


Company is the subject of an ongoing investigation by the SEC. Although the Company is fully cooperating with the SEC and continues to voluntarily respond to requests in connection with this matter, it cannot predict when such matters will be completed or the outcome and potential impact. Any remedial measures, sanctions, fines or penalties, including, but not limited to, financial penalties and awards, injunctive relief and compliance conditions, imposed on the Company in connection with this matter could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Restatement of the Prior Financial Statements—As a result of self-reporting the BioSteel Review, the Company is the subject of an investigation by the SEC and an ongoing informal inquiry by regulatory authorities in Canada, and it cannot predict the timing of developments, and any adverse outcome of these continuing matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company” under Item 1A of the Annual Report.

On December 29, 2023, a Request for Arbitration was made identifying the Company, one of its subsidiaries, and another entity as respondents. The Claimant seeks damages in the amount of USD $32,666,667 against the difference betweenrespondents based on alleged breaches of a Share Purchase Agreement (“SPA”), including breaches of the actual amountduty of THC and/or CBDgood faith and honest performance in relation to certain milestone payments in the medicinal and recreational cannabis products and the amounts of THC and/or CBD listed on the label was outside the permissible variability limits. The proposed class has not yet been certified. SPA.

The Company is currently evaluating the meritsdenies any alleged misconduct and liability for each of the claimclaims asserted in the above-noted Court and hasArbitral Proceedings, believes that the defendants/respondents have meritorious defenses to the claims, and expects to vigorously defend the claims, although the Company cannot predict when or how they will be resolved or estimate what the potential loss or range of loss would be, if any.

From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not yet retained defense counsel.currently a party to any other legal proceedings other than described above, the outcome of which, if determined adversely to us, would individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects. Please refer to “Risk Factors” under Item 1A of the Annual Report for further discussion.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

For information regarding factors that could affect our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, see the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A in ourthe Annual Report. ThereExcept as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report.

There can be no certainty that all conditions to the Floating Share Arrangement and the Acreage Amending Agreement will be satisfied or waived, including, in the case of the Floating Share Arrangement, obtaining approval of the Amendment Proposal by the Exercise Outside Date, which may result in the acquisition of Acreage not being completed.

There can be no certainty, nor can the Company provide any assurance, that all conditions precedent contained in the Floating Share Arrangement Agreement and the Acreage Amending Agreement will be satisfied or waived, including that the current Exercise Outside Date of March 31, 2024 is extended or in the event of a default pursuant to the Acreage Debt. In addition, the Floating Share Arrangement is subject to certain conditions precedent which, among other things, includes the receipt of approval from the Company’s shareholders on the Amendment Proposal by the Exercise Outside Date. There can be no certainty, nor can the Company provide any assurance, that these conditions will be satisfied or, if satisfied, when they will be satisfied. If such conditions precedent are not satisfied, it may result in the acquisition of Acreage not being completed.

Acreage’s financial statements express doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

Acreage’s publicly available financial statements as of and for three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 filed with the SEC on November 14, 2023 (“Acreage’s September 30, 2023 Interim Financial Statements”) express doubt about Acreage’s ability to continue as a going concern. In particular, Acreage’s September 30, 2023 Interim Financial Statements state: “[Acreage] had an accumulated deficit as of September 30, 2023, as well as a net loss and negative cash flow from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Additionally, subsequent to quarter end [Acreage] was temporarily in default of the [Hempco Debenture, pursuant to which a subsidiary of Acreage owed approximately $46.8 million to a subsidiary of Canopy Growth as of September 30, 2023][. . .] These factors raise substantial doubt about [Acreage]’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the issuance of these financial statements.” In the event that Acreage is unable to continue as a going concern, the Acreage Amended Arrangement and the Floating Share Arrangement may not be completed. In the event that the Acreage Amended Arrangement and the Floating Share Arrangement are completed and Acreage is unable to continue as a going concern, this would have a negative impact on Canopy USA’s business, financial results and operations and have an adverse impact on the Company’s United States strategy, and, ultimately, the Company’s financial results and operations.

78


In view of the foregoing, Acreage’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its continued operations, which in turn is dependent upon, among other things, Acreage’s ability to meet its financial requirements. There is no assurance that Acreage will be successful in its plans to fund its operations and debt obligations as they become due and payable. Accordingly, in the event Acreage cannot satisfy its debt obligations as they become due, we may lose the Option Premium. In addition, Acreage may be required to terminate or significantly curtail its operations or enter into arrangements with third parties that may require Acreage to relinquish rights to certain aspects of its business and/or dispose of certain assets, which may ultimately result in Acreage not being able to satisfy the conditions in the Amended Acreage Arrangement and the Floating Share Arrangement and the acquisition of Acreage not being completed.

Mr. Hanson’s resignation from the Board was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

Appointments of Luc Mongeau and Willy Kruh

On February 7, 2024, on the recommendation of the Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee the Board voted to increase the size of the Board to eight members and appoint each of Mr. Luc Mongeau and Mr. Willy Kruh to the Board effective immediately. Each of Mr. Mongeau and Mr. Kruh shall serve as a director of the Company until the next annual general meeting of shareholders or until his earlier death, resignation, or removal.

There are no family relationships between each of Mr. Mongeau and Mr. Kruh and any director or executive officer of the Company or its subsidiaries. Neither Mr. Mongeau nor Mr. Kruh have a direct or indirect material interest in any transaction that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

In accordance with the Company’s customary practice, the Company has entered into its standard form of indemnification agreement with each of Mr. Mongeau and Mr. Kruh, which requires the Company to indemnify each director against certain liabilities that may arise as result of his status or service as a director. The Company’s Form of Director and Officer Indemnity Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, which was filed with the SEC on May 31, 2022.

In connection with the appointments to the Board, each of Mr. Mongeau and Mr. Kruh will be compensated in accordance with the Company’s director compensation program as described in the Company’s filings with the SEC.
