Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended November 30, 2021 (the “Form 10-Q”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If the risks or uncertainties ever materialize or the assumptions prove incorrect, our results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,”” might,” “plan,” “project,” “will,” “would” ”seek,” or “should,” or the negative or plural of these words or similar expressions or variations are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, our beliefs or expectations relating to our future performance, results of operations and financial condition; our strategic initiatives, business strategy, supply chain, brand portfolio and product performance; the COVID-19 pandemic; current or future macroeconomic trends; and future corporate acquisitions and strategic transactions.
Risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements include: our ability to successfully complete the integration of the businesses of Tilray and Aphria; challenges and uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic; the highly regulated environment in which we operate and our dependence on regulatory approvals and licenses; our ability to manage our supply chain effectively; disruption of operations at our cultivation and manufacturing facilities; challenges and uncertainty resulting from the impact of competition; our ability to manage risks associated with our international sales and operations; our ability to successfully develop and commercialize new products; our ability to execute our strategic plan and other initiatives, including our ability to achieve $4 billion of revenue by the end of our fiscal year 2024; our dependency on significant customers, which generate a significant amount of our revenue; input cost inflation; disruptions to information technology systems; pending and future litigation; volatility in our stock; our ability to raise funds; and other risks and matters described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, this Form 10-Q and our other filings from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and in our Canadian securities filings.
Forward looking statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and, while we believe that information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, these statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements or forward-looking information as predictions of future events.
We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in assumptions or circumstances, except as required by applicable law.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”) reflect the accounts of the Company. The financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual reportAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended DecemberMay 31, 20192021 (the “Annual Financial Statements”). These financial statements reflect all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The Company’s balance sheet in these interim financial statements was derived from the audited Annual Financial Statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the Annual Financial Statements.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on athe going concern basis which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and, accordingly, will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations as they come due.due, under the historical cost convention except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value, as detailed in the Company’s accounting policies.
ForAs a result of the threeApril 30, 2021 business combination with Aphria, the reported results do not include the results of operations of Tilray and nine months ended Septemberits subsidiaries on and prior to April 30, 2020,2021, in accordance with the Company reported a consolidated net loss of $2,316 and $268,124, and a net loss of $36,351 and $102,021accounting treatment applicable to the Arrangement. Accordingly, comparisons between the Company's results for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2019.
For the ninesix months ended SeptemberNovember 30, 2020,2021 and prior periods may not be meaningful.
Information about the accounting treatment of the Arrangement including details of the transaction, determination of the total fair value consideration, and allocation of the purchase price, are included in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended May 31, 2021 filed in Form 10-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 28, 2021 (“Annual Report”).
The purchase price allocation for the Arrangement is open for adjustments and has been allocated based on estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. In the event that more information is obtained, the purchase price allocation may change. Any future adjustments to the purchase price allocation, including changes within identifiable intangible assets or estimation uncertainty impacted by market conditions, may impact future net earnings. The purchase price allocation adjustments can be made through the end of the measurement period, which is not to exceed one year from the acquisition date.

Control exists when the Company had cash flows usedeither has a controlling voting interest or is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in operating activities of $104,486 and cash flows used in operating activities of $167,255 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
As at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 the Company had working capital of $171,349 and $166,600, respectively.
Current management forecasts and related assumptions support the view that the Company can adequately manage the operational needs of the business with the current cash on hand for the next twelve monthsconsolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. A complete list of our subsidiaries that existed prior to our most recent year end is included in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended May 31, 2021 filed in Form 10-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 28, 2021 (“Annual Report”).
On August 13, 2021, the Company and other unrelated persons formed Superhero Acquisition L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“SH Acquisition”), for the purpose of acquiring certain senior secured convertible notes in the principal amount of approximately $165.8 million (the “MM Notes”) originally issued by MedMen Enterprises Inc. (“MedMen”) together with certain associated warrants (the “MM Warrants”) to acquire Class B subordinate voting shares of Medmen (the “MedMen Shares”) fromcertain funds affiliated with Gotham Green Partners (the “MM Transaction”). The MM Notes mature onAugust 17, 2028. On August 17, 2021, SH Acquisition completed the MM Transaction and issued 9,817,061 shares of its common stock as partial consideration for the MM Transaction. The balance of the consideration for the MM Transaction was paid in cash by the other unrelated investors of SH Acquisition.
In connection with its issuance of these financial statements.9,817,061 shares of its common stock, the Company’s received an interest in SH Acquisition equal to approximately 68% of the interests in SH Acquisition and, therefore, indirectly acquired a right to 68% of the MM Notes and related MM Warrants, which were convertible into approximately 21% of the MedMen Shares outstanding (if such MM Notes and MM Warrants were converted and exercised upon closing the MM Transaction). In addition, interest on the principal amount of the MM Notes shall accrue at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 6%, with a LIBOR floor of 2.5% and, any accrued interest shall be pay-in-kind at a price equal to the trailing 30-day volume weighted average price of the MedMen Shares, as and when such pay-in-kind interest becomes due and payable. SH Acquisition was also granted “top-up” rights enabling it (and its limited partners) to maintain its percentage ownership (on an “as-converted” basis) in the event that MedMen issues equity securities upon conversion of convertible securities that may be issued by MedMen. Tilray’s ability to convert the Notes and exercise the Warrants is dependent upon U.S. federal legalization of cannabis (a “Triggering Event”) or Tilray’s waiver of such requirement as well as any additional regulatory approvals.

Under the SH Acquisition partnership agreement, certain material events described therein require the approval of the Company, received net proceeds of $85,289 ($90,439 of gross proceeds) from its registered equity offering (refer to Note 14). 19,000,000 warrants were issued as part of the offering. All the warrants remain outstanding as of September 30, 2020. The warrants issued contain an anti-dilution provision that was approved byand, upon a vote of the Company’s stockholders at its Annual Meeting held on May 28, 2020. WhileTriggering Event, the Company has the ability to issue securities under its at-the-market program, because warrants from the equity offering remain outstanding as of September 30, 2020, the Company may only issue up to $20,000 in aggregate gross proceeds under its at-the-market offering program at prices less than the exercise priceappoint two of the warrants (currently $5.95 per share)three members of the board of directors of the general partner of SH Acquisition. As a result, we consolidated SH Acquisition as a subsidiary of Tilray beginning on August 17, 2021. Additional information about the MM Transaction is included in Note 7 Long-term investments.
Long-term investments
Debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value and are subject to impairment testing. Other than impairment losses, unrealized gains and losses during the period, net of the related tax effect, are excluded from income and reflected in other comprehensive income (loss), and in no event more than $6,000 per quarter at prices below the exercise price of the warrants, without triggering the warrant’s anti-dilution price protection feature. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company received gross proceeds of $46,153 from shares sold under its at-the-market offering program. All shares were sold at share prices above $5.95 per share.
On February 28, 2020, the Company completed a debt financing under its Senior Facility with maximum aggregate principal amount of $59,600 and borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $49,700. The Senior Facility provided for an additional draw of $9,900. On June 5, 2020, as a result of COVID-19 related financial markets conditions that affected the lender and not because of any material changes to the business of Tilray or its subsidiaries, the lender requested that Tilray withdraw its then outstanding request for the additional draw of $9,900 and entered into an amendment to its Senior Facility which provides for, among other things, interest-only payments for the remainder of its term with all outstanding principal payments due at February 28, 2022 (refer to Note 13).
As of September 30, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $155,205. During the last nine months management has implemented a series of cost reduction strategies including headcount reductions and the closure of certain facilities. Currently, management’s forecasts and related assumptions indicate that the Company will remain in compliance with all its debt covenants and, over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements, will be able to satisfy all its contractual obligations such as payment of interest on the 5% convertible notes (refer to Note 12 and Note 18), interest-only payments on the Senior Facility (refer to Note 13 and Note 18), non-cancelable minimum purchase commitments for inventory (refer to Note 18), payment of the ABG finance liability (refer to Note 18), payment of the Company’s lease commitments (refer to Note 18) and payment of the Company’s Portugal construction commitments (refer to Note 18). Due to uncertainties the Company may face in raising additional equity financing in the future, which may be further impacted by the economic downturn and unprecedented
5
conditions due to COVID-19, there remains uncertainty about the impact this may have on management’s assumptions used to develop these forecasts. Accordingly, the Company has concluded itcumulative effect is probable that it can implement plans that would effectively mitigate the conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months.
These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to the Company’s ability to successfully implement its initiatives. Any such adjustments could be material.
Changes in comparative presentation
The Company lost its emerging growth company status effective December 31, 2019 and therefore reported as a large accelerated filerseparate component of shareholders’ equity until realized. Upon sale, realized gain and losses are reported in the Annual Financial Statements. Asnet income. Debt securities are impaired when a result, the Company complies with new and revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. In the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company adopted the following accounting pronouncements issued by FASB: ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”); ASU 2016-02, Leases, codified as ASC 842 (“ASC 842”); ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all subsequent amendments to the ASU, codified as ASC 606 (“ASC 606”); and ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”), as described in the Annual Financial Statements, with an effective date of January 1, 2019. The comparative three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 included in the financial statements reflect the new and revised accounting standards and therefore does not mirror the September 30, 2019 interim period condensed consolidated financial statements previously filed. The impact to the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 is as follows:

The statement of net loss and comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. In addition, unrelated to the impact of adoption of accounting standards, cost of sales, which was formerly presented as a single line item, is separated between product costs and inventory valuation adjustments. Loss on disposal of property and equipment, formerly presented in other expenses (income) is now presented in general and administrative expenses.
Assets held for sale
In May 2020, the Company announced its decision to close the High Park Gardens facility in response to its anticipated future product needs and the current economic climate. As a result, the Company adopted an accounting policy for assets held for sale. Assets held for sale are accounted for in accordance with applicable accounting guidance provided in ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment.
The Company classifies its assets as held for sale if, among other criteria, the carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than continued use and a sale is considered probable and within one year. Assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of the carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
An impairment loss is recognized in impairment of assets through the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognized for any subsequent increasesdecline in fair value less costsis determined to sellbe other-than-temporary. If the cost of an asset, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognized. A gain or loss not previously recognized by the date of the sale of the asset is recognized at the date of derecognition. Assets are not depreciated or amortized while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities classified as held for sale continue to be recognized.
Assets classified as held for sale are combined and presented separately from the other assets in the balance sheets.
Allowance for credit losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This guidance was subsequently amended by ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements, ASU 2019-
6
04, Codification Improvements, ASU 2019-05, Targeted Transition Relief, ASU 2019-10, Effective Dates, and ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements. These ASUs are referred to collectively as the new guidance on current expected credit loss (“CECL”). As a result of the adoption of the new CECL guidance on January 1, 2020,investment exceeds its fair value, the Company has changed its accounting policy for the allowance forevaluates, among other factors, general market conditions, credit losses, as it relates to accounts receivable and available-for-salequality of debt securities. The adoption of the CECL guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements at January 1, 2020.
Accounts receivable – The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses at an amount sufficient to absorb losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio as of the reporting dates based on the projection of expected credit losses.
The Company applies the aging method to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses. The aging method is applied to accounts receivables at the business unit level to reflect shared risk characteristics, such as receivable type, customer type and geographical location. The aging method assigns accounts receivables to a level of delinquency and applies loss rates to each class based on historical loss experience. The Company also considers relevant qualitative and quantitative factors to assess whether historical loss experience should be adjusted to better reflect the risk characteristics of the current classesinstrument issuers, and the expected future loss. This assessment incorporates all available information relevantduration and extent to considering the collectability of its current classes, including considering economic and business conditions, default trends, changes in its class composition, among other internal and external factors. The expected credit loss estimates are adjusted for current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts.
As part of the Company’s analysis of expected credit losses, it may analyze contracts on an individual basis in situations where such accounts receivables exhibit unique risk characteristics and are not expected to experience similar losses to the rest of their class.
Available-for-sale debt securities– The Company assesses its available-for-sale debt securities for impairment at each measurement date. Whenwhich the fair value is less than the amortized cost, the Company assesses whether it intends to sell the security. When it is assessed that the Company will sell the security or the Company will be required to sell before recovery, the difference between thecost. Once a decline in fair value and amortized costis determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded as an impairment of assets in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss. Whena new cost basis for the investment is established. The Company does not intendalso evaluates whether there is a plan to sell andthe security or it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery,recovery. If neither of the Company assesses whether aconditions exist, then only the portion of the unrealizedimpairment loss is a result of a credit loss. The Company recognizes the portion relatedattributable to credit loss as credit loss expensesis recorded in general and administrative expenses within the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss and the portion of unrealized loss related to factors other than credit lossesremaining amount is recorded in other comprehensive loss. Theincome (loss).
Investments in equity securities of entities over which the Company determinesdoes not have a controlling financial interest or significant influence are accounted for at fair value. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are measured at cost with adjustments for observable changes in price or impairments (referred to as the best estimate of“measurement alternative”). In applying the present value of cash flows expected to be collected frommeasurement alternative, the available-for-sale debt securitiesCompany performs a qualitative assessment on a quarterly basis and recognizes an individual basis based on past events, current conditions and forecasts relevant to the individual securities.
Disclosure framework - fair value measurement
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 removes (a) the prior requirement to disclose the amount and reason for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 ofimpairment if there are sufficient indicators that the fair value hierarchy containedof the equity investments are less than carrying values. Changes in ASC Topic 820, (b)value are recorded in the policy for timingstatement of transfers between levels,net loss and (c)comprehensive loss, within the valuation process used for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 also adds, among other items, a requirement to discloseline, “Non-operating income (expense)”.
Investments in entities over which the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 effective January 1, 2020 and such adoption diddoes not have a material effect on itscontrolling financial statements.
Warrants
In March 2020, the Company closed on a registered offering including Class 2 common stock, warrants, and pre-funded warrants (refer to Note 14). Warrantsinterest but has significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method, with the Company’s share of earnings or losses reported in accordance with applicable accounting guidance provided in ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (“ASC 815”), as either liabilitiesearnings or aslosses from equity instruments dependingmethod investments on the specific terms of the warrant agreement. The Company's warrants are classified as liabilities and are recorded at fair value. The warrants are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date until settlement and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of change in fair value of warrant liability in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss. Transaction costs allocated to warrants thatEquity method investments are presented as a liability are expensed immediatelyrecorded at cost, plus the Company’s share of undistributed earnings or losses, and impairment, if any, within other expenses (income)“Interest in equity investees” on the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss.
Use of estimates and significant judgements
Assets held for sale –balance sheets. The Company uses a third party real estate agent to assist managementassesses investments in its determinationequity method investments when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may be impaired. If it is determined that the current fair value of an equity method investment is less than the assets held for sale. The Company estimates the fair value by reviewing market data from recent sales of similar properties and determining an implied sale price per acre of land and greenhouse space.
Allowance for credit losses – The Company’s projections of expected credit losses are inherently uncertain, and as a result the Company cannot predict with certainty the amount of such losses. Changes in economic conditions, the risk characteristics and composition of the portfolio, bankruptcy laws, and other factors could impact the actual and projected expected credit losses and the
7
related allowance for credit losses. Actual losses may vary from current estimates. Due to potential COVID-19 disruptions in the marketplace it is possible the Company may experience unforeseen and greater credit losses than anticipated or experienced historically.
Warrant liability – The Company estimates the faircarrying value of the warrant liability usinginvestment, the Company will assess if the shortfall is other than temporary (OTTI). Evidence of a Monte Carlo pricing model. The Companyloss in value might include, but would not necessarily be limited to, absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment or inability of the equity investee to sustain an earnings capacity that would justify the carrying amount of the investment. Once a determination is requiredmade that an OTTI exists, the investment is written down to make assumptions and estimates in determining an appropriate risk-free interest rate, volatility, term, dividend yield and discount due to exercise restrictions andits fair value of common stock.
Net loss per share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing reported net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reported period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock of the Company duringin accordance with ASC 820 at the reporting period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares and the number of potential dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Potential dilutive common share equivalents consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of vested share options and the incremental shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes. Potential additional dilutive common share equivalents consist of warrants, stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and restricted stock awards.
In computing diluted earnings per share, common share equivalents are not considered in periods indate, which establishes a net loss is reported, as the inclusion of the common share equivalents would be anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2020, there were 13,141,298 common share equivalents with potential dilutive impact (September 30, 2019 – 8,043,920). Because the Company is in a net loss for all periods presented in these financial statements, there is no difference between the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share for the periods presented.new cost basis.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when events or circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. At the end of the first quarter of 2020, the Company determined the hemp reporting unit, representing $130,343 of the $159,595 total goodwill, was at risk of having a carrying value exceeding the fair value. As a result, a quantitative test was performed to determine if impairment exists. In performing the Company’s impairment analysis, the fair value of the hemp reporting unit was determined primarily by discounting estimated future cash flows, which were determined based on revenue and expense growth assumptions ranging from 9% to 38%, at a weighted average cost of capital (discount rate) ranging from 10% to 12%. The discounted future cash flow model also made the key assumption that Cannabidiol (“CBD”) revenue will commence to build in the third quarter of 2021. The fair value of the hemp reporting unit was determined to exceed the carrying value by $76,998, or 26%, and 0 impairment was recorded. No triggers have been identified in subsequent quarters to perform additional quantitative tests.
A relatively small change in the underlying assumptions, including a 1% change in the weighted average cost of capital, continued lack of clarity from the Food and Drug Administration regarding approval of CBD, or the financial performance of the reporting unit in future years, may cause a change in the results of the impairment assessment in future periods and, as such, could result in an impairment of goodwill.

On February 28, 2020, High Park Holdings Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Borrower”) entered into a credit agreement, denominated in Canadian dollars (“C$”), for a senior secured credit facility in a maximum aggregate principal amount of $59,600 (C$79,800) (the “Senior Facility”). An aggregate principal amount equal to $49,700 (C$66,500) was drawn on February 28, 2020 (the “Closing Date Draw”) and the Company submitted an irrevocable 30 day notice on May 4, 2020 to draw an additional $9,900 (C$13,300) (the “Additional Draw”).
On June 5, 2020, as a result of COVID-19 related financial markets conditions that affected the lender of the Senior Facility, and not because of any material changes to the business of Tilray or its subsidiaries, the lender requested that Tilray withdraw its outstanding request for the Additional Draw of $9,900 (C$13,300) under the Senior Facility. In exchange for the Company’s accommodation of the lender’s request to withdraw its funding request, the lender agreed to enter into the First Amendment of the Senior Facility (the “Amendment”). The Amendment provides for interest-only payments for the remainder of its term with all outstanding principal payments due at February 28, 2022. This will result in an aggregate balance of $47,355 (C$64,283) due at February 28, 2022. Additionally, and at such time as the lender’s business may allow, the lender may make the additional proceeds of $9,900 (C$13,300) available, at its sole discretion.
Concurrently, with the Amendment, the lender also approved the Company’s ability to sell the High Park Gardens facility, which is classified as assets held for sale (refer to Note 2), if and when Tilray so desires. As part of any sale of the High Park Gardens facility, the lender has agreed that the Company may retain 60% of any sales proceeds (net of all expenses, fees and taxes), and that the lender will receive 40% of all sales proceeds (net of all expenses, fees and taxes). All sales proceeds to the lender will be applied as a repayment of principal on the Senior Facility without any prepayment penalties or fees. The sale of the High Park Gardens facility is expected to be completed within the next twelve months. The Amendment did not meet the accounting criteria for debt extinguishment.
The Senior Facility bears interest on the outstanding principal balance at an annual rate equal to the Canadian prime rate plus 8.05%, calculated based on the daily outstanding balance of the Senior Facility calculated and compounded monthly in arrears and with no deemed reinvestment of monthly payments. Interest is due monthly throughout the term. The Company has the option to voluntarily prepay, without penalty, the outstanding amounts, in full or in part, at any time starting 6 months from the closing date subsequent to providing 75 days’ notice.
Transaction costs incurred on the Closing Date Draw were $3,306 (C$4,425). There were no fees incurred associated with the Amendment. Transaction costs are deferred and amortized as a component of interest expense over the estimated term using the effective interest rate method. On June 29, 2020, the lender notified the Company that it had exercised its unilateral right to syndicate $19,153 (C$26,000) of the Company’s Senior Facility in the aggregate principal amount of $59,600 (C$79,800). The Senior Facility’s terms otherwise remain unchanged.
The Senior Facility has first priority claims on all North American assets of the Company and contains certain affirmative and negative covenants. The operational covenant includes a minimum unrestricted cash threshold of $29,466 (C$40,000) in order for the Company to make additional capital expenditures and investments. The Senior Facility is collateralized against all real and personal property owned, leased and operated by the Company in North America, and any and all other property of the Company now existing and acquired in North America after the closing date. As of September 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all covenants set forth under the Senior Facility.

Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are deposited in major financial institutions in Canada, Australia, Portugal, Germany and the United States. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses on its cash deposits. Accounts receivable are unsecured and the Company does not require collateral from its customers.
The Company is also exposed to credit risk from the potential default by any of its counterparties on its financial assets.
The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and provides an allowance for credit losses as necessary (refer to Note 7).
Due to the uncertainties associated with COVID-19, the Company may be unable to accurately predict the creditworthiness of its counterparties and their ability to meet their obligations. This may result in unforeseen additional credit losses.
Foreign currency risk
The Company conducts its business in several countries and in a variety of currencies, the most significant of which are the Canadian dollar and Euro. Consequently, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk. A significant portion of the Company’s assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses are denominated in Canadian dollars. A 10% change in the exchangeincremental premium above market rates for Government of Canada securities of similar duration. In each period thereafter, the Canadian dollar would affectincremental premium is held constant while the carrying valueGovernment of net assets by approximately $23,578 as of September 30, 2020, with a corresponding impact to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The CompanyCanada security is also exposed to risk related to changes in the value of the Euro due to its construction commitment in Portugal.
22
Interest rate risk
The Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s outsanding debt. The Company is exposed to changes to the Canadian prime rate as the Senior Facility bears interest based on the Canadian prime rate plus 8.05%. The convertible notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5% and are not publicly traded and, therefore, are not affected by changes inthen current market value to derive the market interest rates. A 1% change in the Canadian prime rate would have an impact of $127 and $295 to the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Liquidity risk
The Company’s objective is to have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due. The Company monitors its cash balances and cash flows generated from operations to meet its requirements. As of September 30, 2020, the most significant financial liabilities are accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, convertible notes and the Senior Facility.

Items measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis
The Company's prepayments prepaids and other current assets, long lived assets, including property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets are measured at fair value when there is an indicator of impairment and are recorded at fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized.
ManagementLand reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and buildings (held for sale):believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. There have been no changes to the Company’s capital management approach in the period. The Company used a third-party real estate agent to assist management inconsiders its determination of the fair value of the assets held for sale at the High Park Gardens facility. Management, in its determination of the fair value of the assets held for sale reviewed market data from recent sales of similar properties to determine an implied sale price per acre of land and greenhouse space and wrote-down the carrying value of the land and greenhouse space held for sale to the estimated fair value less selling costs.
In connection with an evaluation of such assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the carrying values of the land and buildings at the High Park Gardens facility (Level 2), ABG finance receivable and certain intangible assets (Level 3) were concluded to exceed their fair values. As a result, the Company recorded impairment charges that incorporates fair value measurements based on Level 2 (refer to Note 2) and Level 3 inputs (refer to Note 3, Note 8 and Note 10).

On April 30, 2021, upon consummation of the information containedarrangement with Aphria Inc. (“Aphria”) pursuant to a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “Arrangement”), Aphria stockholders and Tilray stockholders owned approximately 61.2% and 38.8%, respectively, of the post-closing outstanding Tilray common stock resulting in the reverse acquisition of Tilray, whereby Tilray is the legal acquirer and Aphria is the acquirer for accounting purposes. Accordingly, as reported in our Annual Report and in this discussionForm 10-Q, the assets and analysis or set forth elsewhereliabilities of Aphria are presented at their historical carrying values and the assets and liabilities of Tilray are recognized on the effective date of the business combination transaction and measured at fair value. The operating results for the comparable period, the three and six months ended November 30, 2020, are of those of Aphria. In conjunction with the reverse acquisition, the Company elected to adopt Aphria’s fiscal year of June 1 to May 31.
Prior to the completion of the Arrangement, our condensed consolidated financial statements were presented under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and in Canadian Dollars (C$). All prior periods have been recast and are shown in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q including information with respectunder GAAP and in United States Dollars ($).
Trends and Other Factors Affecting Our Business
Market Dynamics.
Our cannabis business reporting segment operates in an industry that is still in its early stages of development. In Canada, the industry celebrated its third year of adult-use legalization in October 2021. As the industry continues to our plans and strategy for our business and related financing, includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, or “forward-looking information” within the meaning of Canadian securities laws. These statementsmature, there are often identified by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “project,” “will,” “would” or the negative or plural of these words or similar expressions or variations. Such forward-looking statements and forward-looking information are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, assumptionsnew entrants into the industry, which has led to increased competition. This competitive environment in the Canadian cannabis industry subjects us to the risk of loss of market share, price discounting by competitors, and to the challenge of acquiring new customers amidst the evolving market changes. The number of licenses granted, and the number of licensed producers ultimately authorized by Health Canada could have an adverse impact on our ability to compete for market share in Canada. During the three months ended November 30, 2021, we maintained our market leadership within Canada but experienced a decline in market share percent to 12.8% from the 15.7% market share we maintained at May 31, 2021. Prior to the end of our fiscal second quarter, the Company was primarily focused on margin maintenance in Canada. With the current market dynamics and the Company’s cost advantages, the Company adjusted its focus to be more price competitive in the value, mainstream and premium plus market categories, particularly, in vape and pre-rolled products. Management continues to explore key partnerships and acquisitions as a strategy to maintain and expand our market share position.
The cannabis industry in Europe is also in its early stages of development whereby countries within Europe are at different stages of legalization of medical and adult-use cannabis as some countries have expressed a clear political ambition to broadly legalize adult-use cannabis (Germany, Portugal, Luxembourg and Malta), some are engaging in an experiment for adult-use (Netherlands, Switzerland) and some are debating regulations for cannabinoid-based medicine (France, Spain, Italy, and the United Kingdom). In Europe, we believe that, despite continuing COVID-19 pressure, cannabis legalization (both medicinal and adult-use) will continue to gain traction, especially following actions of the Maltese and German governments. We also continue to believe that Tilray remains uniquely positioned to win in these markets with its infrastructure being the only company with EU-GMP cultivation facilities in two countries within Europe and our demonstrated commitment to the consistency, quality and safety of our products. Today, Germany remains the largest medical cannabis market in Europe. We are the market leader in medical cannabis within Germany with a market share of approximately 19.7% with our dried flower, extracts and Dronabinol products.
The following is a summary of the state of cannabis legalization within Europe:
Germany. The new coalition government led by chancellor Olaf Schulz declared its intention to legalize adult-use cannabis use, which aims to regulate the sale of adult-use cannabis.
Malta. In December 2021, Malta now allows its citizens to grow up to six plants at home, possess up to seven grams for personal use, establish a dedicated government authority, and allows the creation of social cannabis clubs. Although commercial sales are still forbidden, such achievement marks an important cornerstone for the cannabis industry in Europe.
Luxemburg. The government stated intentions to legalize adult-use cannabis in October 2021, thereby allowing cultivation, possession, and sale of seeds. However, legislation delays are due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Luxemburg government has refined its draft bill, which we believe will be enacted in calendar year 2022.
Italy. Cannabis activists successfully set up a referendum to decriminalize domestic cannabis cultivation and remove penalties for cannabis possession through the amendment of several articles of narcotics law, which may come to a vote in calendar year 2022.
Portugal. There are currently two draft bills to allow for the consumption, cultivation, and possession of cannabis for adult use.
Switzerland. In October 2021, Switzerland announced its intention to legalize cannabis by allowing production, cultivation, trade, and consumption. In the meantime, Zurich, Switzerland's largest city, will be the location of a three-year pilot project starting in the Fall 2022 to conduct scientific studies on the cannabis market and its impact on Swiss society.
The Netherlands. The Dutch government aims to initiate an experiment involving the cultivation of cannabis for adult use to determine whether and how regulated cannabis can be legally supplied to coffee shops and what the resulting effects.
Spain. A subcommittee on cannabis was recently created and will commence its work in early February 2022 on a report leading the way for a government sponsored bill on medical cannabis.
France. France launched a two-year pilot experiment to supply approximately 3,000 patients with medical cannabis. To date, approximately 1,000 patients are enrolled in the experiment.
United Kingdom. Medical cannabis is legal in the United Kingdom, however, there is a need to maximize both clinical research and patient benefit in a safe, cautious and ethical manner so that those patients for whom medical cannabis is shown to be effective can access it. Currently, a new piece of legislation is in discussion, which aims to improve access to cannabinoid-based medicine through two measures: (1) expanding the ability to prescribe these products to General Practitioners (GPs) who are registered with the General Medical Council and (2) establishing a commission for the assessment of cannabinoid-based medicinal products.
Acquisitions and synergies.
We have grown, and expect to continue to grow, our business through a combination of organic growth and acquisition. While we continue to execute against our strategic initiatives that we believe will result in long-term, sustainable growth, we also evaluate potential acquisitions and other factorsstrategic transactions of businesses that could cause actual resultswe believe complement our existing businesses or provide us with the opportunity to enter attractive new geographic markets and/or expand our products portfolio and capabilities. We incur transaction costs in connection with identifying and completing acquisitions as well as ongoing integration costs as we integrate acquired companies and seek to achieve synergies. For the timingsix months ended November 30, 2021, we incurred $33.7 million of certain eventstransaction costs.
In connection with the Arrangement, we committed to differ materially from future results expressed or implied byachieving at least $80 million of synergies in connection with the forward-looking statements or forward-looking information. Factors that could cause or contributeintegration of Tilray and Aphria and developed a robust plan and timeline to achieve such differences include, but are not limitedsynergies. In connection with the development of our integration plan, we evaluated and optimized the organizational structure, evaluated and retained the talent and capabilities we identified as necessary to those identified in this Quarterly Reportachieve our longer-term growth plan and vision, evaluated contracts and arrangements, and evaluated our supply chain and our strategic partnerships. During the six months ended November 30, 2021, we have executed on Form 10-Q and those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” set forth in Part II, Item 1Aa series of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, subsequent quarterly and annual reports, and in our other SEC and Canadian public filings. In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based on information available to us assynergistic actions which included:
• | We entered into a termination and settlement agreement with ABG Intermediate Holdings 2, LLC (“ABG”) and certain of its affiliates whereby we terminated the license to use certain trademarks and the obligation to pay associated royalties. Pursuant to this settlement agreement, we terminated $6.6 million in remaining guaranteed royalty payments owed to ABG in exchange for the payment of a $3.9 million termination fee. |
• | We concluded our joint venture relationship with AB InBev whereby we retained the manufacturing equipment associated with CBD and THC beverages, obtained a royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide license to utilize the technology related to the manufacture of CBD and THC beverages, which was developed by the joint venture and negotiated a co-manufacturing arrangement to manufacture CBD beverages on behalf of Fluent. |
• | We continued efforts to close down the legacy-Tilray Canadian facilities in Nanaimo and Enniskillen and integrate their forecasted demand into our Leamington facilities, thereby aligning our cost structure across our brands and products in Canada. |
As of the date of this Quarterly Reportfiling, we have achieved $70 million in cost-savings on a run-rate basis and $36 million in actual cash-savings.
During the six months ended November 30, 2021, we also executed on other strategic transactions, which completed after the end of our fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2021 but before the filing of this Form 10-Q, and while we believe that information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, that information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not be readas follows (Refer to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly relyPart I, Financial Information, Note 24 Subsequent Events):
• | The acquisition of Breckenridge Distillery, a leading distilled spirits brand located in Breckenridge, Colorado, widely known for its award-winning bourbon whiskey collection and innovative craft spirits portfolio. Breckenridge Distillery joins SweetWater Brewing Company as the cornerstones of Tilray’s beverage alcohol segment and further diversifies the company’s net revenue mix. In addition to acquiring a strong brand and accretive business, this strategic acquisition delivers additional scale in the beverage alcohol category and further positions Tilray with additional infrastructure and a larger footprint in the U.S. market upon federal cannabis legalization. When federally permissible, Tilray believes the acquisition of Breckenridge Distillery will enable us to commercialize new and innovative products through the development of non-alcoholic distilled spirits, including bourbon whisky, that is infused with cannabis. |
• | The purchase of the previously leased SweetWater Brewing facility and taproom located in Atlanta, Georgia, which provides SweetWater with ownership of its state-of-the-art brewing facilityand integrated restaurant and live music venue. |
• | Building upon SweetWaters’s strategic plan to expand into all 50 states within the U.S., we acquired the Alpine and Green Flash brands, two iconic West Coast craft beer brands that boast award-winning brews. This strategic acquisition was completed shortly after SweetWater announced plans to move into a 32,450-square-foot production facility in Fort Collins, Co that it recently acquired, which also includes a 10,000-square-foot taproom. We believe that these initiatives, coupled with SweetWater’s new taproom inside Denver International Airport, will provide a launch pad for SweetWater to further distribute to the West Coast. |

Overview
Our vision is to build the world’s most trusted and valuable cannabis and hemp company. We are pioneering the future of medical, wellness andCanadian adult-use cannabis and hemp research, cultivation, processing and distribution globally, and we are onebusiness continued to experience the effect of the leading supplierschanges in consumer demand that were established during the onset of adult-useCOVID-19 pandemic and periods of lockdown. As we have previously reported, consumers shifted their demand behavior to purchasing elections based primarily on pricing. This consumer model of purchasing eroded the sales of our higher quality, higher priced brands resulting in our market share reduction during the period. Our Canadian medical cannabis business experienced a slight uptick in Canada and medical usepatient demand. Our international cannabis in Germany, and a leading supplier of hemp products in North America.
We have supplied high-quality cannabis productsbusiness continued to tens of thousands of patients in fifteen countries spanning five continents through our subsidiaries in Australia, Canada, Germany, Latin America and Portugal, and through agreements with established pharmaceutical distributors. We cultivate medical and adult-use cannabis in Canada andexperience delays from regulatory authorities overseeing access to medical cannabis in Portugal. We operate onlyseveral European jurisdictions. In accessible markets, the access to physician practices remains limited due to protective measures in countries whereplace throughout Germany, slowing down the adoption of cannabis or hemp-derived cannabinoids are legal,as an innovative treatment option. Our distribution business experienced slight improvement in the global supply chain disrupted by which we mean the activitiesCOVID-19 pandemic resulting in those countries are permitted under all applicable federal and state or provincial and territory laws.
We are witnessing a global paradigm shift for cannabis and hemp and, as a result of this shift, the transformation of a multibillion dollar industry from a state of prohibition to a state of legalization. Medical cannabis is now authorized at the national or federal levelmodest increase in forty-one countries. The legal market for medical cannabis is stillnet revenue in its early stagesbase currency but due to the weakening of the US dollar against the Euro resulted in a decrease in sales from the prior year’s comparable period. Our beer and alcohol business continues to see a decline in on-premise business primarily as the on-premise industry dealt with a lack of staffing and a change demand pattern related to after work alcohol consumption. The continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has hampered revenue growth in our main consumer facing markets. Within the hemp food segment of our business, we believecontinue to navigate the numberchanges with growth in ecommerce and “click + pickup” channels offsetting declines in traditional retailer channels as consumer shopping behaviors shift.
Our business and operating results for the three and six months ended November 30, 2021 continue to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic,including Delta and Omicron variants. The COVID-19 pandemic remains highly volatile, and the responses of countries with legalized regimeslocal governments based on numbers of new cases, disease severity, risk of reinfection, and vaccine performance continue are unpredictable. We cannot accurately predict the duration or extent of the impact of the COVID-19 virus. We will continue to increase. As this transformation occurs, we believe companies with trusted global brandsassess our operations and multinational supply chains will become market leaders by earning the confidence of patients, doctors, governments and adult consumers around the world.
We are a leader in the Canadian adult-use market. We have entered into agreements to supply certain provinces and territories with our adult-use products for sale through the distribution systems they have established. Adult-use legalization occurred in Canada on October 17, 2018 and on October 17, 2019, the Canadian adult-use regulations were amended to permit the sale of new class of cannabis products including edibles, beverages and vape products.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and in an effort to better align our cost structure with the current business environment we reduced headcount in different areas of the organization. A total of 482 positions were eliminated with an expected annualized savings impact, net of severance costs, of $38.0 million. In addition to headcount reductions, we have undertaken other efforts to increase operating efficiencies which will result in future additional cost savings of approximately $17.0 million, totaling approximately $55.0 million in overall cost savings annually versus our Q4 2019 annualized run rate cost structure. We continue to evaluateconsider the guidance of local governments throughout the world. If economic conditions caused by the pandemic do not recover as currently estimated by management or market factors currently in place change, there could be a further impact on our cost structure in light of business conditions and COVID-19 and may take additional actions during the remaining of the year.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we issued 9,493,494 shares of Class 2 common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $77.0 million under the at-the-market equity offering program.
On February 28, 2020, we entered into a credit agreement for a senior secured credit facility, denominated in Canadian dollars, for a maximum aggregate principal amount of $59.6 million (C$79.8 million) (the “Senior Facility”). An aggregate principal amount equal to $49.7 million (C$66.5 million) was drawn on February 28, 2020.
As a result of COVID-19 related financial market conditions that affected the lender, and not because of any material changes to the business of Tilray or its subsidiaries, the lender requested that we withdraw our then outstanding request for the additional draw of $9.9 million made on May 4, 2020. We agreed and, as a result, on June 5, 2020, we entered into the First Amendment to the Senior Facility (“the First Amendment”). The First Amendment provides that the Senior Facility will only require interest payments for the remainder of its term and all outstanding principal payments will be due at maturity, February 28, 2022. We have been, and currently are, in full compliance with all terms of the Senior Facility and did not incur any fees or penalties in connection with the First Amendment.
Additionally, and at such time as the lender’s business may allow, the lender may make the additional proceeds of $9.9 million available during the term of the Credit Agreement, at its sole discretion. Concurrently with the First Amendment, the lender also approved our ability to sell the High Park Gardens facility, if and when we desire. As part of any sale of the High Park Gardens facility, the lender has agreed that we may retain 60% of any sales proceeds (net of all expenses, fees and taxes), and that the lender shall receive 40% of all sales proceeds (net of all expenses, fees and taxes). All sales proceeds to the lender will be applied as a repayment of principal on the Senior Facility, without any prepayment penalties or fees. As of September 30, 2020, we have not completed the sale of the High Park Gardens facility.
On March 17, 2020, we closed an underwritten registered offering of 7,250,000 shares of Class 2 common stock for $4.76 per share and 11,750,000 pre-funded warrants for $4.7599 (the “pre-funded warrants”) accompanied by 19,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $5.95. The pre-funded warrants have an exercise price per share of Class 2 common stock of $0.0001 and were exercisable at any time after their original issuance and expire on the fifth anniversary date of issuance. The pre-funded warrants were exercised in full during March 2020. The 19,000,000 warrants (the “warrants”) have an exercise price of $5.95 and allow the holder to purchase 19,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class 2 common stock. All 19,000,000 warrants remain outstanding as of September 30, 2020, and are exercisable at any time after the first trading day following the six-month anniversary of the issuance and will expire on the fifth anniversary date from the date they become exercisable. Our net proceeds from this offering was $85.3 million (gross proceeds of $90.4 million).
On May 26, 2020, we announced that we would permanently shut down our facility at High Park Gardens, a licensed cannabis facility in Leamington, Ontario, operated through its wholly-owned subsidiary Natura Naturals Inc. (“High Park Gardens”). This is a result of changing industry dynamics and evolving business needs. As a result of the closure, we expect to realize annualized net savings of approximately $6.0 million and avoid significant ongoing capital expenditures.
Due to the closure of High Park Gardens in June 2020, we incurred termination costs of $0.3 million related to severance, which are included within general and administrative expenses, recorded total non-cash charges of $25.5 million, which included of $13.6 million related to the write down of land and buildings upon placing these assets for sale and valuing such at their fair value less normal selling costs, $1.8 million of inventory valuation adjustments related to the destruction of unharvested flower and $10.2 million related to write down of the acquired cultivation license. We expect to recognize additional cash charges of $0.3 million in real estate transaction fees upon final sale of the Leamington facility.
On June 30, 2020, we completed the separation from Smith & Sinclair, a previously consolidated entity, which develops and distributes CBD-infused edibles.
COVID-19
As COVID-19 continues to spread around the world, and governments and businesses take unprecedented measures in response, the actions taken, or that may be taken, have or may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and stock price. Due to COVID-19, governments have imposed restrictions on travel and business operations, temporarily closed businesses, and implemented quarantines and shelter-in-place orders. Consequently, the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted global economic activity, caused significant volatility and disruptioncash flows from operations.
Results of Operations
Our consolidated results, in global financial markets, and generally introduced significant uncertainty and unpredictability throughout the world.thousands except for per share data, are as follows:
28
Our business has likely been negatively impacted during 2020, due to the restrictions on, or temporary closure of, retail outlets, and the challenges faced by patients accessing clinics and doctors for prescriptions for our products and due to the vast majority of the Company’s employees working remotely. We continue to operate its manufacturing facilities at normal production levels while its administrative offices remain closed. We have taken all recommended actions to protect public health and the health and safety of employees and it continues to work on safely re-opening its offices subject to local rules and regulations.

We are unable to predict the future impacts of COVID-19 on our operational and financial performance. The nature and extent of any impacts are very uncertain and depend on many factors outside our control, including, the timing, extent, and duration of the pandemic, the development and availability of effective treatments and vaccines, the imposition of protective public safety measures, and the impact of the pandemic on the global economy and demand for our products. We believe our cash balances and access to cash through our at-the-market program will be sufficient to satisfy our working capital needs, debt payments, and general liquidity requirements.
Key Operating Metrics
We use the following key operating metrics to evaluate our business and operations, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, project our future performance, and make strategic decisions.
Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate key operating metrics with similar names differently which may reduce their usefulness as comparative measures. Certain variances are labeled as not meaningful ("NM") throughout management's discussion and analysis.

Revenue from Canadian medical cannabis products: Revenue from Canadian medical cannabis products increased 27% to $7.9 million and number of dried cannabis grams required29% to produce extracted cannabis in the form of cannabis oils infused into the final product. This conversion ratio is based on the amount of active cannabinoids in the products rather than the volume of the final product.
Total kilogram equivalents sold increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from the comparable period in 2019 mainly driven by sales in international markets. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2020 versus the comparable period in 2019 was almost entirely due to the reduction of bulk sales. We expect continued increases in kilogram equivalent grams sold as we generate sales growth in our key cannabis businesses; adult-use and international medical. Going forward we will pursue opportunistic bulk sales as we manage our product mix and optimize margins.
Kilograms harvested – cannabis. Kilograms harvested represents the weight of dried whole plants post-harvest, drying and curing. This operating metric is used to measure the production efficiency of our facilities and production team.
Total kilograms harvested decreased$16.3 million for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberNovember 30, 20202021, compared to revenue of $6.3 million and $12.6 million for the prior year same periods. This increase in revenue from medical cannabis products is primarily driven by the contributions of legacy Tilray’s medical cannabis business resulting from the comparable periods in 2019 partiallybusiness combination of April 30, 2021. The increase is also due to new innovative product launches, including our new brand Symbios launched earlier in the closure of our High Park Gardens cannabis greenhouse production operationyear, to address unmet medical needs and partially due to provide patients with more choices in managing their health conditions with medical products. There has been some offset from downward pressure caused by the timing of harvests in Portugal during 2020 comparedCOVID-19 pandemic from patients unable or unwilling to 2019. Over time, it is our expectation that harvested quantities for comparable facilities will increasesee a doctor as we align production with growing saleswell as increased competition from the adult-rec and as we continue to realize efficiencies in our growing processes resulting from our capital investments.the price compression therein.
AfterRevenue from Canadian adult-use cannabis products: During the permanent shut down ofthree and six months ended November 30, 2021, our facility at High Park Gardens, a licensedgross revenue from Canadian adult-use cannabis facility in Leamington, Ontario,product our current productiondecreased 15% to $49.5 million and manufacturing footprint in Canada is approximately 0.7increased 3% to $119.1 million square feet and our footprint in Portugal is approximately 2.6 million square feet, for a total of 3.3 million square feet worldwide. Our current growing space in Portugal is made up of 20 hectares of outdoor growing space in Alentejo, 1 hectare of greenhouse and 4 hectares of outdoor growing space in Cantanhede, and 65,000 square feet of manufacturing, processing, research, and office space in Cantanhede. We are currently under construction to complete an additional 3.4 hectares of greenhouse in Cantanhede during the remainder of 2020. Due to COVID-19, however, we have experienced minor construction delays and there is some uncertainty about the final completion date of the additional growing space. If we are unable to complete construction in a timely manner due to COVID-19, we may not achieve all our
29
expected harvests and production which may negatively impact our international sales. We are actively working with our contractors to maintain appropriate COVID-19 protections at our construction site in an effort to complete construction in a timely manner.
Thousand units sold – hemp products. As a result of the acquisition of FHF Holdings Ltd. (“Manitoba Harvest”) in February 2019, we sell hemp products such as shelled hemp seed, ground hemp, broad spectrum hemp extract containing CBD and hemp seed oil that are tracked by individual units.
Hemp products sold for the three and ninesix months ended November 30, 2021 compared to revenue of $58.2 million and $115.1 million for the prior year same periods.The three month periods ending September 30, 2020 decreases in gross revenue is primarily due to a series of factors, as follows:
• | We continued to experience the residual impact related to the COVID-19 pandemic in relation to consumer behaviors and to a much heavier focus on price; |
• | We continued to experience a shift in retail cannabis demand to price-based brands during the COVID-19 pandemic. The decline is primarily due to shifting consumer trends to price compression in the market, magnified by consumer behavior during the lockdowns; and |
• | We also experienced additional declines in average gross selling price due to increased price-based competition in the more recent months from increased competition in the market. During the three months ended November 30, 2021, we maintained our market leadership but experienced a decline in market share percent to 12.8% from 15.7% at May 31, 2021. |
We continue to focus on expanding our product offerings to accommodate the changes in our adult-use customers, During the first quarter, we completed our first shipments to Nunavut. In the second quarter we expanded the terms of our distribution partnership with Rose LifeScience, which will now represent the entire Tilray portfolio; and expanded our partnership with Great North Distributors, Inc. to cover all of Canada, except for Quebec, using its established network.
The six months increase in gross revenue is attributable to the inclusion of Tilray legacy products in our brand portfolio offerings.
Wholesale cannabis revenue: Revenue from wholesale cannabis products increased versus the comparable periods in 2019. The increase57% to $2.3 million and decreased 24% to $4.0 million for the three month period wasand six months ended November 30, 2021 compared to revenue of $1.4 million and $5.2 million for the prior year same periods. The Company continues to believe that wholesale cannabis revenue will remain subject to quarter-to-quarter variability and is based on opportunistic sales.
International cannabis revenue: Revenue from international cannabis products increased 220% to $13.7 million and 460% to $24.0 million for the three and six months ended November 30, 2021 compared to revenue of $4.3 million and $4.3 million for the prior year same periods. The increase is due to increased promotional activity in large format retailthe contributions of legacy Tilray’s larger international cannabis business as well as accelerating salesnewly obtained business to business transactions. In Europe, we believe that, despite continuing COVID-19 pressure, cannabis legalization (both medicinal and adult-use) will continue to gain traction, especially following actions of the German and Maltese governments. We also continue to believe that Tilray remains uniquely positioned to win in these markets with its infrastructure being the only company with EU-GMP cultivation facilities in two countries within Europe and our demonstrated commitment to the consistency, quality and safety of our products.
Germany. During the three and six months ended November 30, 2021, we continued to experience some deceleration in the growth of our business caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in some patients unable or unwilling to see a doctor. Despite these impacts,
• | We generated 16% revenue growth in connection with our medical cannabis extract products when compared to the prior quarter. |
• | We generated 10% revenue growth on our dried flower products when compared to the prior quarter. |
• | We are a market leader in medical cannabis within Germany with an overall market share of approximately 19.7% with our dried flower, extracts and Dronabinol products. |
Portugal. We are the only approved medical cannabis product in the market, which is distributed through ecommerce dueour distribution partners to COVID-19 shopping trends. The increasemedical stakeholders throughout Portugal.
Luxembourg. We were selected by the Luxembourg Ministry of Health as the exclusive supplier for the nine month period was partially duecountry’s medical cannabis program for dried flower and oils.

France. We were selected as one of the four suppliers in a two-year pilot experiment to supply approximately 3,000 patients with medical cannabis.
Italy. We are one of five distributors licensed to import medical cannabis into the Italian medical cannabis market.
United Kingdom. In the quarter, we completed a shipment of a wide range of dried flower products with high, medium and partially attributablebalanced potencies into the UK medical cannabis market.
Ireland. We are one out of only three suppliers within the Irish market whose cannabinoid-based medical products are eligible for reimbursement.
Australia. We continue to strengthen the reputation of our Tilray medical brand whereby, through a contract with the Department of Health in Victoria, 90 children are now participating in a government funded seizure program utilizing our cannabinoid-based medical products, which will continue to the fact that the 2019 period only reflected the post acquisition seven months activity while the 2020 period reflects a full nine monthsend of hemp products sold. Looking forward, our units sold may change as some of our large format retail customers shiftcalendar year 2024.
Distribution revenue
Revenue from Distribution operations decreased 7% to larger size private label offerings.
Average net selling price per gram – cannabis. The average net selling price per gram is an indicator that shows our pricing trends over time on a gram equivalent basis$68.9 million and is impacted by sales mix, channel and product type. We exclude revenue associated with hemp products, accessories and freight sales3% to arrive at cannabis-related revenue. We calculate average net selling price per gram by dividing cannabis-related revenue by kilogram equivalents sold. As Cannabis 2.0 products become a larger percentage of our mix, and because Cannabis 2.0 products include more value-added activities and the cannabis inputs will be a lower portion of the overall cost and value of the products, we may change this operating metric from per gram to unit measures.
The average net selling price per gram increased$136.1 million for the three and six months ended SeptemberNovember 30, 2020 from comparable period in 2019 due2021 compared to a shiftrevenue of $74.0 million and $140.3 million for the prior year same periods.Included in distribution channelsrevenue is $68.0 million and product mix. International Markets increased to 26%$133.0 million of revenue from 22% compared toCC Pharma, and $0.9 million and $3.1 million of revenue from other distribution companies for the same period in 2019. Additionally, higher-priced Cannabis 2.0 products, which didn’t existthree and six months ended November 30, 2021 versus $72.0 million and $136.2 million from CC Pharma and $2.0 million and $4.1 million from other distribution companies, respectively, in the comparable periodprior year same periods.
The decrease in 2019, continued to grow as part of our Adult-use business. The average net selling price per gram decreased forrevenue during the nine monthsthree-months ended SeptemberNovember 30, 2020 from the comparable period in 20192021 is primarily due to the terminationimpact of changes in the exchange rate between the Euro and USD totaling a supply contract that included a one-time transaction at a significantly reduced net selling price per gram$5.3 million reduction to the comparable prior period. Additionally, the decrease in Q2 2020.
We expect our average selling price per gram to continue to increase over time as our international medical cannabis sales continue to grow. However, due to COVID-19, if international sales are not realized or if construction of our new greenhouse space in Portugal is delayed we may not fully realize our expected increase in sales price because we may not have sufficient scale or product atrevenue during the potency level needed to supply our growing international medical sales business.
Average cost per gram sold – cannabis. The average cost per gram sold measuressix-months ended November 30, 2021 was also the efficiency in our cultivation, manufacturing and fulfillment operations. We deduct hemp products, inventory valuation adjustments and the cost of sales related to accessories from total cost of sales to arrive at cannabis-related cost of sales. Cannabis-related cost of sales is then divided by total kilogram equivalents sold to calculate the average cost per gram sold. As Cannabis 2.0 products become a larger percentage of our mix, and because the Cannabis 2.0 products include other input costs that can be a greater portionresult of the unit cost thannegative impact of an isolated weather event in Densborn, Germany. Specifically, heavy flooding impacted CC Pharma and forced a business closure for approximately five days leading to a decrease in net revenue in the cannabis ingredients, we may change this operating metricperiod of almost $5.0 million.
Beverage alcohol revenue
Revenue from per gramour Beverage operations increased to unit measures.
The average cost per gram sold increased$13.7 million and $29.2 million for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberNovember 30, 2020 from comparable periods2021 compared to revenue of $0.7 million for the prior year same periods. SweetWater operates on-premises, wholesale, and specialty sales. Revenues continued to be negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic impacting on-premise consumers. The increase is substantially related to our acquisition of SweetWater on November 20, 2020.
Earlier in 2019 partly due to lower kilograms soldthe year, our beverage operations began operating our new brewing facility in Colorado and opened a new taproom at the Denver International Airport in connection with its strategic expansion initiative. In addition, we released an extensive new line of innovative products, including seltzers, as well as a resultnew beer offering developed in collaboration with our Canadian cannabis Broken Coast brand and a new vodka soda offering developed in collaboration with our Canadian cannabis Riff brand as Tilray continues to strengthen its strategic position in the U.S. by expanding its presence through acquisitions and collaboration with other Tilray cannabis brands. This strategy of reduced bulk salesleveraging our growing portfolio of brands enables the company to launch THC-based product adjacencies upon federal legalization in the U.S.
Wellness revenue
Included in Wellness revenue is $13.8 million and partly due to product mix where Cannabis 2.0 products have higher input costs than dried flower. We expect to see improvement in our cost per gram metric as the full benefit of our cost reductions, including the closure of High Park Gardens, which was a relatively high cost facility to operate, are realized. In addition, as Cannabis 2.0 become a larger portion of our mix, these products will result in better throughput and cost absorption at our High Park Holdings processing facility.
Average gross selling price per unit – hemp products. The average gross selling price per unit is an indicator that shows our pricing trends over time on a unit basis$28.7 million from Manitoba Harvest, for our hemp products and is impacted by sales mix, channel and product type. We exclude revenue associated with cannabis, accessories and freight sales to arrive at hemp product-related revenue. We calculate average gross selling price per unit by dividing hemp product-related revenue by units sold.
The average gross selling price per unit for hemp products increased by 2% and 10% during the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberNovember 30, 2020 from the comparable periods in 2019, respectively, due to sales mix favoring larger sizes and organic product sales versus non-organic. Going forward, this trend may continue as some large format retail customers shift to larger size private label offerings.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, other than those noted in “Part I, Item 1. Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our condensed consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”) contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The most significant updates are as follows:
Assets held for sale
In May 2020, we announced our decision to close our High Park Gardens facility in response to the current economic climate. As a result, we have adopted an accounting policy for assets held for sale. Assets held for sale are accounted for in accordance with applicable accounting guidance provided in ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. We classified our assets as held for
30
sale if, among other criteria, the carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than continued use and a sale is considered probable within one year. Assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of the carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
We have determined assets at High Park Gardens meet the criteria for held-for-sale classification and have measured these assets at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. We have recorded an impairment loss recognized for the initial write-down of these assets to fair value less costs to sell in impairment of assets within the statements of net and comprehensive loss. We have presented these assets classified as held for sale separately from the other assets in the balance sheets.
We used a third-party real estate agent to assist us in the determination of the fair value2021. Manitoba Harvest was part of the assets held for sale. The agent used recent sales of similar properties to determine an implied sale price per acre of land and greenhouse space and applied this to the land and greenhouse space held for sale to estimate the fair value.
COVID-19 related judgments and estimates
The unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact results in uncertainty about future market conditions, the impacts on our business, and consequently, the assumptions we use to develop forecasts of business performance. As a result, significant judgments and estimates have been madeacquired in the qualitative and quantitative impairments and the going concern assessments at September 30, 2020.Arrangement. There isare no guarantee that our totalcomparable revenues will grow or remain at similar levels during the next quarter of 2020. Depending on conditions, we may have to review our assumptions which may result in additional adjustments or impairments of assets. Additionally, if COVID-19 continues to negatively impact business conditions around the globe and in our key markets, we may need to further adjust our operations and headcount during the coming quarters.
Warrants
In March 2020, we closed on a registered offering including Class 2 common stock that included warrants and pre-funded warrants. As a result, we have adopted an accounting policy for warrants. Warrants are accounted for in accordance with applicable accounting guidance provided in ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (“ASC 815”), as either liabilities or as equity instruments depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement. Our warrants are classified as liabilities and are recorded at fair value. The warrants are subject to remeasurement at each settlement date and at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of change in fair value of warrant liability in the statements of net lossprior year being presented.
Gross profit, gross margin and comprehensive loss. Transaction costs allocated to warrants that are presentedadjusted gross margin for our reporting segments
Our gross profit and gross margin for the three and six months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, is as a liability are expensed immediately within other expenses (income) in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss.follows:
We estimate the fair value of the warrant liability using a Monte Carlo pricing model. We are required to make assumptions and estimates in determining an appropriate risk-free interest rate, volatility, term, dividend yield, discount due to exercise restrictions, and the fair value of common stock. Any significant adjustments to the unobservable inputs would have a direct impact on the fair value of the warrant liability.

Revenue
We report our operating results in two segments: (i) Cannabis (licensed) and (ii) Hemp (unlicensed). The business segments reflect how our operations are managed, how resources are allocated, how operating performance is evaluated by senior management and the structure of our internal financial reporting. We also evaluate revenue by product channel and source.

Revenue. Revenue increased 1% to $51.4 million (C$68.1 million) and 28% to $153.9 million (C$208.1 million) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to revenue of $51.1 million and $120.0 million (C$67.8 million and C$159.3 million) for the same periods in 2019, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the increases from the comparable period in 2019 were driven by increases sales in our adult-use, international medical, and hemp channels, which were accompanied by a significant planned reduction in bulk sales.

Cannabis. Cannabis segment revenue decreased 11% to $31.4 million (C$41.6 million) and 17% to $92.4 million (C$124.9 million) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to revenue of $35.5 million and $78.9 million (C$46.4 million and C$103.3 million) for the same periods in 2019, respectively. The decrease for the three months ended compared to the same period in 2019 was due to the significant planned reduction of bulk sales. Excluding bulk, revenue increased by 24% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 versus comparable period in 2019 primarily driven by increased adult-use and international medical sales. We expect continued growth in both the adult-use and international medical sales channels in 2020 while we expect to see a continued decline in bulk sales as we focus on higher margin opportunities. We also expect cannabis to reflect a higher percentage of our total revenue in coming quarters.
Hemp. Hemp segment revenue increased 28% to $20.0 million (C$26.5 million) and 50% to $61.5 million (C$83.2 million) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to revenue of $15.7 million and $41.2 million (C$20.5 million and C$53.9 million) for the same periods in 2019, respectively. The increase for the three month period was due to increased promotional activity in large format retail as well as accelerating sales through ecommerce due to COVID-19 shopping trends. The increase for the nine month period was partially due to increased promotional activity and partially attributable to the fact that the 2019 period only reflected the post acquisition seven months of hemp revenue while the 2020 period reflects a full nine months of revenue. Until there is more clarity from the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) on CBD in the United States, we expect the hemp segment to deliver modest to little top line growth. Our team continues to explore expanded distribution for our products and other ways to generate sales growth despite the negative impact COVID-19 may have on our retail partners.

We also analyze our sales mix by dried cannabis, extracts, hemp and accessories. Cannabis as a whole represented 61% and 60% of total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, versus 69% and 66% for the comparable periods in 2019, respectively. Dried cannabis represented 67% and 66% of cannabis revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 83% and 79% for the comparable periods in 2019, respectively.

Cost of sales. Cannabis gross margin:Cost Gross margin decreased during the three and six months ended November 30, 2021 to 23% and 34% from 46% and 48% versus the prior year same periods, reflecting the addition of sales increasedof Tilray brands that have higher costs to produce than our legacy brands and a non-cash inventory write down of $12 million in November 2021. Significant efforts have been taken to reduce the Company’s cultivation costs at its legacy Tilray Canadian facilities, including announcing the shutdown of both the Enniskillen and Nanaimo facilities. In the interim and until the inventory cultivated at these facilities work their way through inventory, we expect to report lower gross margins until all inventory is cultivated at legacy Aphria facilities. Our European operations continue to work to optimize the cost structure for their cannabis growing facilities, including working with the Canadian operations team, all in an effort to continually will lower our per unit costs.
Distribution gross margin: Gross margin of 11% and 11% for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberNovember 30, 2020 from2021 slightly decreased versus the comparablesame periods in 2019 partially due to payments to a supplier to terminate a contract and, partially due tothe prior year driven by increased sales volumes and the associated variable costs as well as increased expenses at our production facilities thatthe Company’s primary source of products were fully staffedunable to ship during border closures and fully operational in 2020 compared to 2019.during periods of peak demand.
Gross margin. Beverage alcohol gross margin:Gross margin of -15%57% and -15%57% for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberNovember 30, 2020 decreased from2021 are in line with our expectations. We did not operate in this segment until the comparable periods in 2019 partially due one-time transactions associated withfinal week of the terminationssecond quarter of supply contracts, partially due to non-recurring inventory write-downs related to the closureprior year.
Wellness gross margin: Gross margin of High Park Gardens28% and other facilities, and write-downs for obsolescence, spoilage and excess inventory. Excluding the impact of these non-recurring adjustments, gross margin was 27% and 19% for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberNovember 30, 2020, respectively. For2021 are in line with our expectations and consistent with the remainder of 2020, we expect to see improved gross margins due to lower costs at our facilities resulting from cost cutting measures, additional operating efficiencies from more throughputpreceding fiscal quarter. We acquired the wellness business in the Arrangement and better fixed cost absorption, anddid not operate in this segment during the availability of low cost third-party supply for any supplemental product required. Going forward, and as we better align inventory levels and sales, we do not expect to incur material non recurring inventory write downssame periods during prior year.

The change is driven primarily by the comparable periodchanges in 2019 primarily due to the issuanceCompany’s share price and the change in the trading price of stock options and restricted stock units under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan throughout 2019 and 2020.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses increasedconvertible debentures. Additionally, for the three and nine six months ended SeptemberNovember 30, 20202021 Company recognized a change in fair value of its warrants of resulting in a gain of $20.2 million and $37.7 million acquired as part of the Arrangement, also as a result of the decrease in our share price. Furthermore, for three and six months ended November 30, 2021 the Company recognized a loss of $9.5 million and $15.2 million, resulting from the comparablechanges in foreign exchange rates during the period, compared to losses of $3.4 million and $19.7 million for the prior year same periods, largely associated with the strengthening of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar. The remaining other losses relate to changes in 2019 predominantly due to increased investments in cultivation and production facilities in Portugal and some investment in our Canadian facilities. We expect depreciation and amortization to continue to increase as our capital projects are completed and assets are put into service.
Impairment of assets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we incurred non-cash impairment charges of $58.2 million.

Foreign exchange (gain) loss, net. The impact of foreign exchange for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was a gain of $9.3 million and a loss of $5.4 million, compared to a loss of $2.6 million and $1.2 million, for the comparable periods in 2019, respectively. As we hold a significant portion of our cash balances in Canadian dollars, the fluctuation in foreign exchange rates between Canadian dollars and United States dollars drove the foreign exchange loss for nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Change in fair value of warrant liability. In March 2020 we closed an equity offering which resulted in a warrant liability recorded at fair value. The warrant liability is marked to market, with the primary underlying input into the warrant valuation being our own stock price. Due to the movements in the market price of our stock since the offering closed, the fair value of the warrant liability decreased by $31.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020, and increased by $51.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $10.4 million and $30.1 million, compared to $8.7 million and $26.0 million, for the comparable periods in 2019, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to the Senior Facility which was entered into on February 28, 2020. We expect an increase in interest expense in 2020 to reflect a full year of expense related to the Senior Facility.
Finance income from ABG. Finance income from ABG decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 as the ABG finance receivable was written-off during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Other expense (income), net. Other expense (income), net increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 from the comparable periods in 2019, as equity investments measured at fair value had a decline in value in 2020 compared to an increase in value in the comparable periods in 2019. In addition, we incurred $4.0 million of issuance costs associated with the March 2020 equity offering.

Net loss decreasedFor each of these non-GAAP financial measures, we are providing below a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP measure and the most directly comparable GAAP measure, an explanation of why our management and Board of Directors believe the non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors and any additional purposes for which our management and Board of Directors use the three months endednon-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures should be viewed in addition to, and increasednot in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 fromlieu of, the comparable periodsGAAP measures.
All of these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in 2019 primarily due to the impactaddition, and not in lieu of, the change in fair value of warrant liability, combined with the impairment of assets and the (gain) loss on foreign exchange.
Adjusted earnings before interest, tax and depreciation (“Adjusted EBITDA”) improved for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 from the comparable periods in 2019 generally due to reductions in operating expenses, improved margins (excluding one time adjustments) due to cost reductions, and sales and geographic mix shifts.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial statements, which are preparedmeasures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States generally accepted accounting principlesof America, (“GAAP”), we use certain measures, as described below, to understand and evaluate our operating performance..

Adjusted net income (loss)
Adjusted net loss represents a non-GAAP financial measure that does not have any standardized meaning prescribed under GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Adjusted net income is calculated as net (loss) income plus (minus) the unrealized loss (gain) on convertible debentures, a non-cash item, share-based compensation, foreign exchange (loss) gain, all non-cash items, and transaction costs, costs which will not necessarily continue in future periods depending on the frequency of additional M&A considered by the Company. It represents a measure management uses in evaluating operating results to reduce the impact of the volatility caused by fair value accounting of instruments associated with our capital structure, that have no impact on operations. The increase in adjusted net loss is primarily driven by higher net loss stemming from higher amortization costs associated with the definite lived assets acquired during the year, the additional general and administrative costs associated with Tilray for the full quarter and increased non-cash unrealized loss on changes to the fair value of our convertible debentures.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Company calculates adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income before income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, equity in net loss of equity-method investees, inventory write downs, stock-based compensation, integration activities, transaction costs, unrealized currency gains and losses and other adjustments.
(The Company’s management believes that this presentation provides useful information to management, analysts and investors regarding certain additional financial and business trends relating to its results of operations and financial condition. In addition, management uses this measure for reviewing the financial results of the Company and as a component of performance-based executive compensation.
We do not consider Adjusted EBITDA in thousandsisolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of United States dollars)Adjusted EBITDA is that it excludes certain expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our consolidated financial statements. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is subject to inherent limitations as this metric reflects the exercise of judgment by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining Adjusted EBITDA. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents Adjusted EBITDA in connection with GAAP results.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $155.2 million which were held for working capital and general corporate purposes. This represents an overall increase of $58.4 million since December 31, 2019. Our primary need for liquidity is to fund working capital requirements, capital expenditures, debt service obligations and for general corporate purposes. Our ability to fund operations and make planned capital expenditures and debt service obligations depends on future operating performance and cash flows, which are subject to prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors. Our financial statements, in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes we will continue to be in operation for the foreseeable future and, accordingly, will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of operations as they come due. Further information can be found in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we successfully raised funds with the following financing activities:

During the threeLiquidity and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we have experienced minor disruptions toCapital Resources
We actively manage our business due to COVID-19. In particular, we believe the impacts of COVID-19 on customercash and patient behavior in our key markets, the impact on the opening of new cannabis retail outlets in the Canadian market, and the impact on retail markets in general, have introduced unexpected challenges and have resulted in suppressed sales across the majority of our businesses. We have largely been able to maintain satisfactory production levels at our facilities and have not experienced any outbreaks of COVID-19 among our employees. While we have been able to mitigate many of the recent impacts of COVID-19, there remain uncertainties about how the pandemic may influence consumer and patient behaviors, cannabis and retail markets in general, our selling and manufacturing operations, and capital markets, in the future. If COVID-19 negatively impacts one or more of these matters we may have to raise additional capital on potentially unattractive terms and or significantly reduce our costsinvestments in order to fullyinternally fund our business. Currently, we do not anticipate having to take these actions but, due to our inability to assess the full future impact of COVID-19operating needs, make scheduled interest and principal payments on our customers, financial markets,borrowings, and our own business, we are continually evaluating many factorsmake acquisitions. We believe that will help us make decisions in a timely manner.
On June 5, 2020, we entered into the First Amendmentexisting cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and cash generated by operations, together with access to the Senior Facility. The First Amendment provides that the Senior Facility will only require interest payments for the remainderexternal sources of its term and all outstanding principal paymentsfunds, will be due at maturity, February 28, 2022. We have been,sufficient to meet our domestic and currently are, in full compliance with all terms of the Senior Facility and will not incur any fees or penalties in connection with the First Amendment. Additionally, and at such time as the lender’s business may allow, the lender may make the additional proceeds of $9.9 million (C$13.3 million) available during the term of the Credit Agreement, at its sole discretion. Concurrently, with the First Amendment, the lender also approved our ability to sell the High Park Gardens facility, if and when we desire. As part of any sale of the High Park Gardens facility, the Lender has agreed that we may retain 60% of any sales proceeds (net of all expenses, fees and taxes), and that the lender shall receive 40% of all sales proceeds (net of all expenses, fees and taxes). All sales proceeds to the lender will be applied as a repayment of principal on the Senior Facility, without any prepayment penalties or fees.
The warrants issued as part of the registered offering contain anti-dilution price protection features which, so long as the warrants remain outstanding, allow us to only issue up to $20.0 million in aggregate gross proceeds under our at-the-market offering program at prices less than the $5.95 per share exercise price of the warrants, and in no event more than $6.0 million per quarter, at prices below the $5.95 per share exercise price of the warrants, without triggering the price protection features.
The warrants are to be settled in registered shares, and the registration statement is required to be active, unless such shares may be subject to an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The holders, at their sole discretion, may elect to a cashless exercise, and be issued un-registered shares in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the 1933 Act. In the event we do not maintain an effective registration statement, we may be required to pay a daily cash penalty equal to 1% of the number of shares of Class 2 common stock due to be issued multiplied by any trading price of the Class 2 common stock between the exercise date and the share
40
delivery date, as selected by the holder. Alternatively, we may deliver registered Class 2 common stock purchased byforeign capital needs in the open market. We may also be required to pay cash if we do not have sufficient authorized shares to deliver to the holders upon exercise, which could have a material impact to our business.
Due to uncertainties we may face in raising additional equity financing in the future, which may be further impacted by the economic downturn and unprecedented conditions due to COVID-19, there remains uncertainty what impact this may have on managements assumptions used to develop these forecasts. Accordingly, we have concluded it is probable we can implement plans that would effectively mitigate the conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months.foreseeable future.

Cash flows from financing activities
Cash used in financing activities in the first two fiscal quarters of 2022 as compared to the first two fiscal quarters of 2021 is primarily due to an early payment on SweetWater’s term loan facility and the share capital financing completed in fiscal year 2021 that did not recur in fiscal year 2022.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
At November 30, 2021, we assess the fair value reporting of our investment, which will continue to be presented within Other Investments.
Contractual Obligations
During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we successfully terminated or renegotiated several significant supply contracts. On August 5, 2020, we reached an agreement with an unrelated third party and terminated supply agreements for purchase commitments of $17.4 million. As part of the agreement, we will not seek reimbursement of an advance deposit we had previously provided to the third-party supplier of which $4.9 million remained outstanding as of June 30, 2020. We included the $4.9 million in inventory valuation adjustments in cost of sales that related to the write off of the advance deposit in our statements of net loss and comprehensive loss. In addition, we paid $3.7 million in cash and $1.5 million in shares of our Class 2 common stock. The other contracts that were renegotiated, resulted in more favorable terms to us and have relieved us of any future purchase commitments. The total value of future commitments that have been avoided amounts to $46.5 million. We do not believe the termination or restructuring of these contracts will have any negative impacts on our ability to competitively source products required to conduct our business.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K that have had, or are likely to have, a material current or future effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Contingencies
In addition to the ruleslitigation described in the Part II, Item 1 - Legal Proceedings, the Company is and regulationsmay be a defendant in lawsuits from time to time in the normal course of business. While the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes the reasonably possible losses of such matters, individually and in the aggregate, are not material. Additionally, the Company believes the probable final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position, cash flows or liquidity.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The accounting principles we use require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the SEC.financial statements and amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods presented. We believe in the quality and reasonableness of our critical accounting policies; however, materially different amounts may be reported under different conditions or using assumptions different from those that we have applied. The accounting policies that have been identified as critical to our business operations and to understanding the results of our operations pertain to revenue recognition, valuation of inventory, valuation of long-lived assets, goodwill and intangible assets, stock-based compensation and valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. The application of each of these critical accounting policies and estimates is discussed in Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2021.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
A description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that may potentially impact our financial position and results of operations is disclosed in “Part I, Item 1. Note 12 – SummaryBasis of Significant Accounting Policies”presentation and summary of significant accounting policies” to our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rateThere have been no significant changes in market risk is the risk that the value or yield of available-for-sale debt securities may decline if interest rates decline or that the value of financial liabilities will increase if interest rates increase. Fluctuations in interest rates may impact the level of income and expense recorded on these financial instruments. A 1% changefrom those addressed in the interest rateCompany’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2021 during the three months ended November 30, 2021. See the information set forth in effect on September 30, 2020 would not have a material effect on i) the fair value of our available-for-sale debt securities as the majorityPart II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, of the portfolio consists of convertible debt instruments with fixed interest rates ranging from 10% - 12%, or ii) the convertible note financial liabilities as they bear interest at a fixed rate of 5% and are not publicly traded. The Senior Facility bears interestCompany’s Annual Report on the outstanding principal balance at an annual rate equal to the Canadian prime rate plus 8.05%. A hypothetical 1% increase in the Canadian prime rate would result in an increase of $0.1 million and $0.3 million recorded in interest expenseForm 10-K for the three and nine monthsfiscal year ended September 30, 2020.May 31, 2021.
Equity Price Risk
As of September 30, 2020, we held long-term equity investments at fair value and equity investments under the measurement alternative. These investment in equities were acquired as part of our strategic transactions. Accordingly, the changes in fair values of investment in equities measured at fair value or under the measurement alternative are recognized through other expense (income), net in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss. Because of the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak, there is increased risk of declines in fair values of our equity investments if conditions have not been significantly improved and global stock markets have not recovered from recent declines. Based on the fair value of investment in equities held as of September 30, 2020, a hypothetical decrease of 10% in the prices for these companies would reduce the fair values of the investments and result in unrealized loss recorded in other expense (income), net by $0.2 million.
Foreign Currency Risk
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are expressed in United States dollars, but we have net assets and liabilities denominated in a variety of currencies, the most significant of which are the Canadian dollar and the Euro. As a result, we are exposed to foreign currency translation gains and losses. Revenue and expenses of all foreign operations are translated into United States dollars at the foreign currency exchange rates that approximate the rates in effect at the dates when such items are recognized. A 10% change in the exchange rates for the Canadian dollar would affect the carrying value of net assets by approximately $23.6 million as of September 30, 2020, with a corresponding impact to accumulated other comprehensive loss. We are also exposed to risk related to changes in the value of the Euro’s due to our one construction commitment in Portugal. We have not historically engaged in hedging transactions and do not currently contemplate engaging in hedging transactions to mitigate foreign exchange risks. As we continue to recognize gains and losses in foreign currency transactions, depending upon changes in future currency rates, such gains or losses could have a significant, and potentially adverse, effect on our results of operations.

Legacy Tilray represented 8.9% of our consolidated assets and 25.8% of our consolidated revenues as of and for the intent of increasing the use of system-based processes to limit manual calculations.

On February 27, 2020, Tilray stockholders Deborah Braun and Nader Noorian filed a class action and derivative complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery styled Braun v. Kennedy, C.A. No. 2020-0137-KSJM. On March 2, 2020, Tilray stockholders Catherine Bouvier, James Hawkins, and Stephanie Hawkins filed a class action and derivative complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery styled Bouvier v. Kennedy, C.A. No. 2020-0154-KSJM. The two complaints are nearly identical, were filed by the same group of counsel, and name Brendan Kennedy, Christian Groh, Michael Blue, Maryscott Greenwood, Michael Auerbach, and Privateer Evolution, LLC (as successor to Privateer Holdings, Inc.) as defendants and Tilray as a nominal defendant.

Plaintiffs allege that the Downstream Merger gave the Privateer Defendants hundreds of millions of dollars of tax savings without providing a corresponding benefit to Tilray and its minority stockholders and that the Downstream Merger unfairly transferred and extended Kennedy, Blue, and Groh’s control over Tilray. On July 17, 2020, the stockholder plaintiffs filed an amended complaint asserting substantially similar claims. On August 14, 2020, Tilray and all defendantsthe Privateer Defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint. On October 14, 2020, in light ofAt the Plaintiffs’ statementFebruary 5, 2021 hearing on Defendants’ Motions to Dismiss, the Plaintiffs agreed that certain actions may have mooted some of their claims related to the alleged unfair extensionperpetuation of control over Tilray,claims are moot and stated that they intend to move for a fee award in connection with those claims. On June 1, 2021, the Court entered an order adjourningdenied Defendants’ Motions to Dismiss the planned November 4, 2020 hearingAmended Complaint.
In August 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors established a Special Litigation Committee (the “SLC”) of independent directors to re-assert director control and removinginvestigate the pending deadlines for briefing on the motions to dismiss. The parties have stipulated to an amended schedule for the motions to dismiss. The defendants believe thederivative claims in this case are without merit,litigation matter. The SLC has appointed the law firm Wilson Sonsini to assist the SLC with an ongoing investigation of the underlying claim and intend to defend this case vigorously, but there are no assurances as to its outcome.
Securities Litigation
On May 4, 2020, a lawsuit was filed by plaintiff Ganesh Kasilingamdetermine whether continued prosecution of such claims is in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, against Tilray, Inc., Brendan Kennedy and Mark Castaneda, on behalf of himself and a putative class, seeking to recover damages for alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a)best interests of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Kasilingam litigation”).Company. The complaint alleges that Tilray and the individual defendants overstated the anticipated advantages of the Company’s revenue sharing agreement with Authentic Brands Group (“ABG”), announced on January 15, 2019, and that the plaintiffs suffered losses when Tilray’s stock price dropped after Tilray recognized an impairment with respect to the ABG deal on March 2, 2020. On August 6, 2020 the court entered an order appointing Saul Kassin as Lead Plaintiff and The Rosen Law Firm, P.A. as Lead Counsel. Lead Plaintiff filed an amended complaint on October 5, 2020. The Amended Complaint asserts the same Sections 10(b) and 20(a) claims against the same defendants on largely the same theory, and includes new allegations that the Company’s reported inventory, cost of sales, and gross margins in its financial reports during the class period were false and misleading because Tilray improperly
44
recorded unsellable “trim” as inventory and understated the cost of sales for its products. The Company and the individual defendants believe the claims are without merit, and intend to defend vigorously against them, but there can be no assurances as to the outcome.
Shareholder Derivative Lawsuits
On April 10, 2020, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (EDNY) by Chad Gellner, Matthew Rufo, and Melvyn Klein, allegedly on behalf of Tilray, Inc., that piggy‐backs on the Kasilingam litigation referenced above. It named the Board of Directors and Mark Castaneda as defendants. The theory of the lawsuit was that the board failed to prevent the alleged securities law violations asserted in the Kasilingam litigation. On May 29, 2020, a second shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) by Bo Hu asserting essentially the same claims, allegedly on behalf of Tilray, as the prior shareholder derivative action. On June 5, 2020 a third shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware by Lee Morgan, again alleging essentially the same claims, on behalf of Tilray, as the prior shareholder derivative actions. On November 3, 2020, the court in the Morgan action entered a stipulated stay pending developments in the securities class action pending in the SDNY. And on June 16, 2020, the plaintiffs in the Gellner derivative action voluntarily dismissed that lawsuit in the EDNY and re‐filed it in the SDNY. The plaintiffs in the two derivative actions in the SDNY have agreed with nominal defendant Tilray and the individual defendants to consolidate the actions, and have submitted the stipulation to the court for approval.. The Company and the individual defendants believe the claims are without merit, and intend to defend vigorously against them.
Wyckoff Arbitration
On February 16, 2020, Wyckoff Farms (“Wyckoff”), a cannabinoid supplier to Tilray, emailed a demand for assurance of performance of the March 20, 2019 Cannabinoid Supply Agreement (“Supply Agreement”). Wyckoff stated that it believes that TilraySLC has anticipatorily breached its obligations under the Supply Agreement, which contemplated a five (5) year term, with an express minimum crop obligation during the first crop year from 2019-2020. Wyckoff demanded assurance that Tilray take delivery of and purchase at least 13,000 KG of product for the 2019/2020 crop year at a price of $4,600 KG of product (total purchase price $59,800,000). Wyckoff also raised additional concerns about purported additional minimum quantity purchase obligations for the remaining crop years. Tilray responded that it is within its rights under the Supply Agreement, that the contract’s only minimum purchase obligation is for the 2019 crop year, and also invoked the contractual force majeure provision in light of the impacts of FDA regulatory uncertainty and FDA action related to hemp-derived CBD, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic. On March 5, 2020, Wyckoff submitted the dispute to binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in Benton County Washington, to which Tilray responded with an Answer on March 26, 2020, disputing Wyckoff’s claims.
Zenabis Arbitration
On June 19, 2020 High Park Holdings Ltd. (“High Park”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tilray, Inc., commenced a confidential arbitration against Zenabis Ltd. (“Zenabis”). The arbitration relates to certain payments and obligations under a Prepaid Supply Agreement between Zenabis and High Park. High Park seeks approximately CAD $24 million, as well additional unquantified damages and related contractual relief. Zenabis has indicated that it will be defending the claim. A hearing has been set for July 2021.
Langevin Canada Class Action
On June 16, 2020, Lisa Langevin commenced a purported class action in the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench, on her behalf and on behalf of a proposed class of all medicinal and recreational users in Canada of the defendants’ cannabis products who consumed the products before their expiry date. She alleges that the defendants, including Tilray, marketed medicinal and recreational cannabis products in circumstances where the defendants misrepresented the amount of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or Cannabidiol (CBD) in their respective products. As a result of the defendants’ alleged mislabeling of the cannabis products it is claimed that the plaintiff and proposed class members did not receive and consume the product that they believed that they had purchased and that this caused them loss, risk of injury and actual injury. Ms. Langevin claims that on February 13, 2020 she purchased Canaca – TenUp manufactured and distributed by Tilray. She had it tested and allegedly found that it only contained 43% of the claimed amount of THC. The Statement of Claim seeks $500,000,000 in damages and restitution and $5,000,000 in punitive damages plus interest and costs collectively from the defendants. On July 20, 2020 Plaintiff filed an Amended Statement of Claim, as well as an Amended Amended Statement of Claim. We plan to vigorously defend against this action.
We assess our liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal proceedings utilizing the latest information available. Where it is probable that we will incur a loss and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, we record a liability in its consolidated financial statements. These legal reserves may be increased or decreased to reflect any relevant developments on a quarterly basis. Where a loss is not probable or the amount of loss is not estimable, we do not accrue legal reserves. While the outcome of legal proceedings is inherently uncertain, based on information currently available and available insurance coverage, our management believes that it has established appropriate legal reserves. Any incremental liabilities arising from pending legal proceedings are not expectedsuccessfully moved to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, or consolidated cash flows. However, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, if unfavorable, may be material to our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, or consolidated cash flows.Plaintiff’s discovery stayed during their investigation.

Risks Related to COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to result in extended government-ordered closures of significant portions of the global economy, including in the United States, Canada, Portugal, and Germany, places in which we conduct significant business, and could adversely affect our ability to conduct normal business operations, and harm our business and future results of operations and financial condition.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the coronavirus, or COVID-19, a pandemic. The United States, Canada, the European Union and governments around the world have declared national emergencies in response to COVID-19, which is significantly impacting worldwide economic activity. While it is unclear how the COVID-19 pandemic will ultimately effect the cannabis industry and the global economy, we have and continue to update many of our operational procedures and some of our competitors have been forced to take extreme measures, including closing cultivation facilities and significant workforce reductions. Pending the spread of this novel virus, we could likewise be forced to take extreme measures. See “The recent global COVID-19 pandemic has coincided with periods of significant volatility in financial, commodities and other markets, resulting in global recessionary conditions, which could adversely affect our business, future results of operations and financial condition.”
Canadian Government Response
In our primary market of Canada, the Canadian national government and its provinces and municipalities have announced aggressive actions to reduce the spread of the disease, including limiting non-essential gatherings of people, ceasing all non-essential travel, ordering certain businesses and government agencies to cease non-essential operations at physical locations and issuing “social or physical distancing” orders, which direct individuals to remain at their places of residence. The province of Ontario, where we grow and manufacture adult-use cannabis and other cannabis products, has deemed our supply chain operations to be an essential service. The province of British Columbia, where we grow and manufacture cannabis products for medicinal purposes, has explicitly deemed the manufacture and sale of adult-use and medicinal cannabis by Licensed Producers (as defined under the Cannabis Act) to be an essential service. On August 4, 2020, the British Columbia government extended its Provincial State of Emergency to August 18, 2020, and it may extend or rescind such order as necessary. The province of British Columbia remains in Phase 3 of its 4-phased restart plan; however, should COVID-19 conditions deteriorate in the province, British Columbia health officials may pause or revert to a reduced phase.
Canadian Federal Medicinal Cannabis Guidance
On April 2, 2020, with respect to COVID-19, Public Safety Canada released guidance that differentiated between medical and adult-use cannabis. The guidance specifically identified that the manufacturing, logistics, warehouse operations and distribution of cannabis for medical purposes are considered essential services. This was non-binding federal guidance, and Canadian provinces and territories maintain the legislative authority to implement and execute response actions within their jurisdictions. We cannot predict what actions individual provinces may take that differ from federal Canadian guidance with respect to medicinal cannabis. While we have not experienced significant disruption in our medicinal channel to date, this federal designation is nonbinding and advisory in
47
nature, and, if amended or fully rescinded, could further disrupt our medicinal cannabis production and sales and restrict our ability to participate in clinical trials. See “There has been limited study on the effects of medical cannabis and future clinical research studies may lead to conclusions that dispute or conflict with our understanding and belief regarding the medical benefits, viability, safety, efficacy, dosing and social acceptance of cannabis.”
Ontario Provincial Government
On March 23, 2020, the Ontario provincial government issued a mandatory closure of all non-essential workplaces. This closure was scheduled to be in effect for 14 days with the possibility of extending this order as COVID-19 evolves. Additionally, on April 3, 2020, the Ontario government expanded the province's list of non-essential businesses to include cannabis retail stores, temporarily leaving online ordering and mail delivery of cannabis by the Ontario Cannabis Store as the only legal means of recreational access. Subsequently, effective July 29, 2020, Ontario prohibited privately-run cannabis stores from providing delivery and curbside pickup services to customers, which could have a negative impact on our sales. On April 27, 2020, the government issued a “Framework for Re-Opening the Province,” which calls for the phased re-opening of businesses and a continued emphasis on work-from-home arrangements. The Province remains in a paused state, with some regions more populated regions in Stage 3 and lesser populated regions in Stage 2 of the Framework for Re-Opening. While Licensed Producers in Ontario are currently considered an essential supply chain operation under provincial laws, there can be no assurance that such designation will remain in effect. If our growing and manufacturing operations at Enniskillen and London, Ontario are deemed non-essential, and are required to close for a significant period of time, our revenues and our results of operations would be significantly reduced. Government mandated shutdowns could impede our supply chains, our general ability to transport and receive raw materials and inputs, and our ability to deliver finished products to our customers. Additionally, our senior executives, employees, contractors, suppliers, and other partners may be prevented from conducting business activities altogether, or may experience additional disruptions, due to personal sickness, remote working conditions, or additional facility shutdowns.
Manitoba Provincial Government
Manitoba Harvest USA, LLC has followed a phased reopening plan. From July 25, 2020 to November 4, 2020, Manitoba Harvest USA, LLC was in Phase 4. However, as a result of the deterioration of public health results, Phase 4 measures were paused and Phase 1 was re-introduced on November 4, 2020. Manitoba Harvest USA, LLC has production facilities in Winnipeg and Ste. Agathe, which produce hemp-related food products and accordingly have been deemed essential. While our facilities at both Winnipeg and Ste. Agathe remain open and producing according to schedule, and the U.S./Canadian border closure has exempted food transport as an essential cross-border service, we cannot predict effect of future governmental actions related to COVID-19 on this critical supply chain. If our manufacturing operations at Winnipeg and Ste. Agathe are deemed non-essential, and are required to close for a significant period of time, or the U.S.-Canadian border were closed to food transport, our general ability to transport and receive raw materials, inputs and final products would be significantly impacted. The U.S.-Canadian border closure remains in effect with still no official reopening date at this time. Although we remain COVID free at both sites, and are following all COVID protocols, an outbreak could significantly delay or reduce our ability to manufacture, package and/or distribute our products.
In addition, we have started to experience some delays or disruptions in supply chain due to COVID, most notably with rigid and flexible plastic-based packaging components. We have seen our lead times increase with no notice from 6 weeks to 20+ weeks on some items. As a result, our customers could experience some shortages in market of select SKUs. While we have managed to work with our packaging suppliers to avoid significant shortages to our customers to date, and are continuing to work closely with all of our suppliers, prolonged shortages or delays in packaging materials could impact our ability to meet demand, and significantly harm our business.
Portugal
On March 20, 2020, following the declaration of the state of emergency by the President of the Republic on March 18, 2020, the Portuguese government adopted several actions to reduce the spread of COVID-19, including ordering certain businesses and government agencies to cease non-essential operations at physical locations and ordering “social distancing,” which directs individuals to remain at their places of residence. On April 2, 2020, these orders were extended to April 17, 2020, and on April 17, 2020, these measures were extended to May 2, 2020, with the possibility of further renewals or extensions. As of May 3, 2020, the Portuguese government declared the so-called situation of calamity, involving lighter restrictions to business activities and a soft law duty of individuals to remain at their places of residence. On July 31, 2020, the Portuguese government declared the so-called alert situation, to be effective between August 1 and August 14, 2020. This alert situation, which was extended to August 31, 2020, softened some restrictions to business activities but kept social distancing rules (including mandatory remote work in certain cases). A so-called contingency situation, declared on September 11, 2020 and effective at least between September 15 and September 30, 2020, maintains the restrictions to some business activities and keeps social distancing rules, including mandatory remote work in certain cases and prohibiting gatherings of more than a small number of people. While our facility in Portugal has not been subject to a mandatory closure by Portuguese authorities, there can be no assurance that such operational status will remain in effect or that the government will not restore harder measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19. If the government mandated closure of our Portugal facility, or otherwise ordered harder restrictions to business activities or employees’ movement, we would lose ability to export
48
medicinal cannabis across the European Union, applicable member states, or elsewhere in the region, which could have a material effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are currently building an additional greenhouse of 3.4 hectares in Cantanhede during the remainder of 2020 and currently expect full completion by the end of the first quarter of 2021. Due to COVID-19, we have and may continue to experience construction delays and cannot guarantee the final completion date of the growing space. If we are unable to complete construction in a timely manner due to COVID-19, we may not achieve all our expected harvests and production, which may negatively impact our international sales. While we are actively working with our contractors to maintain appropriate COVID-19 protections at our construction site in an effort to complete construction in a timely manner, there can be no guarantees that we will not continue to experience delays as a result of this pandemic.
Germany
During March and April 2020, the Federal German government and its 16 state governments have passed different laws, regulations, resolutions and guidelines in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including contact restrictions and closure of retail stores. Although the most severe lock down measures have been lifted subsequently, they might be restored if infection rates go up again which is somewhat expected towards fall. Our German offices have opened under strict safety and sanitary restrictions and most employees have voluntarily continued remote work. Our medical sales force has started to visit pharmacies and physicians’ offices, but physicians remain unreceptive to this approach. While we have experienced minimal disruption in supply of medicinal products to patients via pharmacies and physicians, there can be no assurance that future governmental measures or patient preferences and demand will curtail such activity. We have observed a strong decrease in new patients visiting doctors’ offices or switching therapies as patients avoid physical office visits and rely on known therapies or self-medicate, which could lead to reduced patient demand and revenues. Additionally, if medicinal cannabis is deemed non-essential by the German government, or we were unable to import our medicinal products into Germany from Canada and Portugal, it could have a material impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
COVID-19 has coincided with periods of significant volatility in global financial, commodities and other markets, resulting in continued global recessionary conditions, which could adversely affect our business, future results of operations and financial condition.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, many states and cities across Canada, the U.S. and European Union declared health emergencies, lockdowns, travel restrictions, and quarantines, prohibiting gatherings of more than a small number of people and ordering or urging most businesses and workplaces to close or operate on a very restricted basis. In addition, there has been significant financial market volatility and government action intended to mitigate the economic impact of COVID-19. See “The price of our Class 2 common stock in public markets has experienced and may experience severe fluctuations.”
The economic effects of these and related actions and events across the world have included: large numbers of partial or full business closures; large numbers of people being furloughed or laid off; large increases in unemployment; large numbers of workers being partially or wholly ordered to work from home; large numbers of businesses at risk of insolvency as revenues drop off precipitously, especially in businesses related to travel, hospitality, leisure, and physical personal services; large numbers of investors realizing substantial losses in their portfolios and retirement funds; inability of companies to access to capital markets or complete mergers; and large numbers of consumers being unwilling to undertake significant discretionary spending.
Given the ongoing and dynamic nature and significance of the events described above, we are not able to enumerate all potential risks to our business; however, we believe that in addition to the impacts described above, other current and potential impacts of these recent events include, but are not limited to:

It is difficult to predict any additional impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our businesses. Our efforts to mitigate the adverse impacts of COVID-19 may not be effective, and in any case are likely to only be a partial mitigant. The full extent of impacts resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and other events beyond our control will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and unpredictable, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the pandemic and further action, including governmental, cannabis regulatory and other federal, state and local actions, taken to prevent, treat, or mitigate the spread of COVID-19, among others. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic could result in business disruption to us, and if unable to recover from such a business disruption on a timely basis, the businesses, financial condition, and results of operations of Tilray would be adversely affected. We may also incur additional costs to remedy damages caused by such disruptions, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Related to Adult-Use Cannabis
The adult-use cannabis industry, and the regulations governing this industry, may develop in a way that is significantly different from our current expectations, resulting in our decreased ability, or inability, to compete in this market and industry.
The Cannabis Act and the accompanying regulations, or the CR, became effective in October 2017 and allows individuals over the age of 18 to legally purchase, process and cultivate limited amounts of cannabis for adult use in Canada. There is no assurance that the adult-use cannabis industry, and the regulations governing this industry, will continue to develop as anticipated. There are and will be significant restrictions on the marketing, branding, product formats, product composition, packaging, and distribution channels allowed under the CR, which may reduce the value of certain of our products and brands or negatively impact our ability to compete with other companies in the adult-use cannabis market in Canada. For instance, the CR includes a requirement for health warnings on product packaging, the limited ability to use logos and branding (only one brand name and one brand element per package), restrictions on packaging itself, and restrictions on types and avenues of marketing; further, Cannabis 2.0 regulations (which came into force in October 2019, allowing new cannabis form factors) govern the production and sale of new classes or forms of cannabis products (including vapes and edibles), and impose considerable restrictions on product composition, labeling, and packaging in addition to being subject to similar marketing restrictions as existing form factors. Additional marketing and product composition restrictions have been imposed by some provinces and territories and are subject to changing interpretation without notice. Provincial or other legislation containing additional restrictions, such as a complete ban on marketing, may impact our ability to do so. Such additional restrictions may impair our ability to develop our adult-use brands, and a complete ban on marketing or additional product restrictions imposed under future regulations, may make it uneconomic or unfeasible for us to introduce our entire portfolio of brands and products into the Canadian market, which means that we will be unable to reap the full benefit of the exclusive rights we have secured to such brands and products or launch new products. Further, each province and territory of Canada has the ability to separately regulate the distribution of cannabis within such province or territory, and the rules (including associated regulations) adopted by these provinces or territories vary significantly. Furthermore, some provinces and territories impose significant restrictions on our ability to merchandise products; for example, some provinces impose restrictions on investment in retailers or distributors and their employees as well as in our ability to negotiate for preferential retail space or in-store marketing. Such variance may make participation in the adult-use cannabis market uneconomic or of limited economic benefit for us in those provinces or territories and could result in significant additional compliance or other costs and limitations on our ability to compete successfully in each such market.
Any failure on our part to comply with supplier standards established by provincial or territorial distributors could prevent us from accessing certain markets in Canada.
Government-run provincial and territorial distributors in Canada require suppliers to meet certain service and business standards, and routinely assess for compliance with such standards. Any failure by us to comply with such standards could result in our being downgraded or disqualified as a supplier, and would severely impede or eliminate our ability to access certain markets within Canada. See Risk Factor “We depend on significant customers for a substantial portion of our revenue. If we fail to retain or expand our customer relationships or if this significant customer were to terminate its relationship with us or reduce its purchases, our revenue could decline significantly.”

The adult-use cannabis market in Canada is continuing to develop and may experience supply fluctuations resulting in revenue and price decreases.
As a result of the legalization of adult cannabis use in Canada, the market for adult-use cannabis is continuing to develop, resulting in fluctuations in supply and demand. Licensed Producers, and others licensed to produce cannabis under the CR, may not be able to produce enough cannabis to meet adult-use demand. This may result in lower than expected sales and revenues and may result in increased competition for sales and sources of supply. This competition may adversely affect our adult-use business and there is no guarantee that we will be able to supply or acquire the supply, on commercially reasonable terms or at all, to meet the demand for medical and adult-use cannabis.
In addition, we and other cannabis producers in Canada may produce more cannabis than is needed to satisfy the collective demand of the Canadian medical and adult-use markets, and we may be unable to export that oversupply into other legal markets. During the third quarter we incurred an inventory valuation adjustment of $13.4 million which was mainly comprised of a $5.2 million paid in cash and shares of our Class 2 common stock in connection with the termination of supply agreement on August 5, 2020. As a result, the available supply of cannabis could exceed demand, resulting in a significant decline in the market price for cannabis. If this were to occur, there is no assurance that we would be able to generate sufficient revenue from the sale of adult-use cannabis to result in profitability and sufficient liquidity. Regulatory restrictions or over supply conditions in our primary markets could result in inventory adjustments.
The illicit supply of cannabis and cannabis-based products may reduce our sales and impede our ability to succeed in the medical and adult-use cannabis markets.
In addition to competition from Licensed Producers and those able to produce cannabis legally without a license, we also face competition from unlicensed and unregulated market participants, including illegal dispensaries and illicit market suppliers selling cannabis and cannabis-based products in Canada.
Despite the legalization of medical and adult-use cannabis in Canada, illicit market operations remain abundant and are a substantial competitor to our business. In addition, illegal dispensaries and illicit market participants may be able to (i) offer products with higher concentrations of active ingredients that are either expressly prohibited or impracticable to produce under current Canadian regulations, (ii) brand products more explicitly, and (iii) describe/discuss intended effects of products. As these illicit market participants do not comply with the regulations governing the medical and adult-use cannabis industry in Canada, their operations frequently have significantly lower costs.
As a result of the competition presented by the illicit market for cannabis, any unwillingness by consumers currently utilizing these unlicensed distribution channels to begin purchasing from licensed retailers for any reason or any inability or unwillingness of law enforcement authorities to enforce laws prohibiting the unlicensed cultivation and sale of cannabis and cannabis-based products could (i) result in the perpetuation of the illicit market for cannabis, (ii) adversely affect our market share and (iii) adversely impact the public perception of cannabis use and licensed cannabis producers and dealers, all of which would have a materially adverse effect on our business, operations and financial condition. Furthermore, given the recent effects of COVID-19 on regulated Cannabis retail, it is possible that legal cannabis consumers revert to the illicit market as a matter of convenience. See “Risks Related to COVID-19.”
We may ultimately be unsuccessful in developing and offering new products in our Canadian markets.
Cannabis 2.0 regulations permit Licensed Producers to develop new cannabis form factors, including CBD and THC-infused drinks, edibles and non-flower products, such as vapes. We have and will continue to develop strategic partnerships to participate in these new product market opportunities with partners who can provide complementary product development and support capabilities. Strategic initiatives around new products involve significant investment of management time and resources in order to successfully execute and maintain, for novel products that may not generate sufficient market demand. Additionally, there can be no guarantee that such new product offerings, even if successfully developed, will have unit economics that generate an appropriate return on investment. Cannabis 2.0 could result in diversions of management attention, a strain on existing financial and other resources or a lack of product demand for our newly developed form factors, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The vape market is a niche market that remains subject to a great deal of uncertainty and is still evolving. Recent negative public sentiment and regulatory scrutiny of vaporizing in the United States may cause Health Canada to further limit usage and diminish Canadian consumer demand for our cannabis vape products.
Cannabis vape products in Canada are regulated under the CR. Although this legislation sets clear rules and standards for the manufacture, composition, packaging, and marketing of cannabis vape products, these rules and standards predate the spate of vaping-related health issues that have recently arisen in the United States. These issues and accompanying negative public sentiment may prompt Health Canada or individual provinces/territories to further limit or defer industry’s ability to sell cannabis vape products, and may also diminish consumer demand for such products. In December of 2019, the Provinces of Quebec and Newfoundland &
51
Labrador announced they would prohibit the sale of cannabis vape products through regulated channels, citing health concerns recently discovered in the United States. There can be no assurance that we will be able to meet any additional compliance requirements or regulatory restrictions, or remain competitive in face of unexpected changes in market conditions.
Vaping, electronic cigarettes and related products were recently developed and therefore the scientific community has not had a sufficient period of time to study the long-term health effects of their use. Currently, there is no way of knowing whether these products are safe for their intended use and the medical community is still studying these products’ health effects. If the scientific community were to determine conclusively that use of any or all of these products poses long-term health risks, market demand for these products and their use could materially decline. Such a determination could also lead to litigation and significant regulation.
Loss of demand for our products, product liability claims and increased regulation stemming from unfavorable scientific studies on cannabis vaping products could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The adult-use cannabis industry in Canada is subject to many of the same risks as the medical cannabis industry, including risks related to our need for regulatory approvals, the early status and uncertain growth of this industry and the competition we expect to face in this industry.
The adult-use cannabis industry in Canada is subject to certain risks that are unique to this industry, as well as the risks that are currently applicable to the medical cannabis industry, which are described under the heading above titled “Risk Factors-Risks Related to Medical Cannabis Business.”
If any of these shared risks occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be adversely affected in a number of ways, including by our not being able to successfully compete in the adult-use cannabis industry and by our being subject to fines, damage awards and other penalties as a result of regulatory infractions or other claims brought against us.
We may be unsuccessful in competing in the legal adult-use cannabis market in Canada.
Our Canadian adult-use business faces enhanced competition from other Licensed Producers, those individuals and corporations who are licensed under the CR to participate in the adult-use cannabis industry and those that have applied for licenses under the CR. Moreover, the CR allows individuals to cultivate, propagate, harvest and distribute up to four cannabis plants per household, provided that each plant meets certain requirements. If we are unable to effectively compete with other suppliers to the adult-use cannabis market, or a significant number of individuals take advantage of the ability to cultivate and use their own cannabis, our success in the adult-use business may be limited and may not fulfill the expectations of management, securities analysts or investors.
Certain of our competitors have significantly greater financial, production, marketing, research and development and technical and human resources than we do. As a result, our competitors may be more successful than us in gaining market penetration and market share. Our commercial opportunity in the adult-use market could be reduced or eliminated if our competitors produce and commercialize products for the adult-use market that, among other things, are safer, more effective, more convenient or less expensive than the products that we may produce, have greater sales, marketing and distribution support than our products, enjoy enhanced timing of market introduction and perceived effectiveness advantages over our products and receive more favorable publicity than our products. If our adult-use products do not achieve an adequate level of acceptance by the adult-use market, we may not generate sufficient revenue from these products, and our adult-use business may not become profitable.
There may be industry consolidation of one or more competitors, which could increase the competitive advantage of certain competitors and reduce overall market share opportunities. Increased consolidation and new and disparate provincial regulations could have a material effect on our business and results of operations.
Risks Related to Medical Cannabis Business
We are dependent upon regulatory approvals and licenses for our ability to grow, process, package, store, sell and export medical cannabis and other products derived therefrom, and these regulatory approvals are subject to ongoing compliance requirements, reporting obligations and fixed terms requiring renewal.
Our ability to grow, process, package, store and sell cannabis products for medical purposes in Canada is dependent on our current Health Canada licenses under the CR, covering our production facility and patient call center at our Tilray North America Campus in Nanaimo, British Columbia, or Tilray Nanaimo. We also hold licenses under the CR covering our facilities in Enniskillen, London, and Leamington, Ontario. These licenses allow us to produce cannabis in bulk and finished forms at these facilities and to sell and distribute such cannabis in Canada. They also allow us to export medical cannabis in bulk and finished form to and from specified jurisdictions around the world, subject to obtaining, for each specific shipment, an export approval from Health Canada and an import approval (or no objection notice) from the applicable regulatory authority in the country to or from which the export or import is being made. These CR licenses are valid for fixed periods and will need to be renewed at the end of such periods.
52
We also hold licenses under the CR covering our facilities in Enniskillen, London, and Leamington, Ontario which we use to service the adult-use market and support the medical market as needed. These licenses allow us to produce, sell, and distribute cannabis and/or cannabis products in Canada. These licenses are valid for fixed periods and will need to be renewed at the end of such periods.
Our ability to operate in our facility at our Tilray European Union Campus located in Cantanhede, Portugal, or Tilray Portugal, is dependent on our current authorization for the cultivation, import and export of cannabis and our Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMP, certification by the Portuguese National Authority of Medicines and Health Products, or INFARMED, for manufacture of cannabis as an active pharmaceutical ingredient, and is dependent on our current authorization for the manufacture of finished cannabis products and GMP certification for manufacture of cannabis as a finished medicinal product. Our GMP certification issued in May 2020 allows the facility to manufacture medical cannabis extracts in-house and export GMP-produced finished medical cannabis products, including dried flower and oils. Our current authorization for cultivation, import and export of cannabis, which includes a new cultivation site located in Reguengos de Monsaraz as of June 1, 2020, is valid for a single growing season at a time and notification to INFARMED is needed to renew the license for subsequent growing seasons. All licenses are subject to ongoing compliance and reporting requirements and renewal.
Any future medical cannabis production facilities that we operate in Canada or elsewhere will also be subject to separate licensing requirements under the CR or applicable local legal requirements. Although we believe that we will meet the requirements of the CR for future renewals of our existing licenses, and grants of permits under such licenses, and to obtain corresponding licenses for any future facilities in Canada, there can be no assurance that existing licenses will be renewed or new licenses obtained on the same or similar terms as our existing licenses, nor can there be any assurance that Health Canada will continue to issue import or export permits on the same terms or on the same timeline, or that other countries will allow, or continue to allow, imports or exports.
Further, we are subject to ongoing inspections by Health Canada and INFARMED to monitor our compliance with their licensing requirements. Most recently, our facilities received fully compliant inspection ratings on the following dates: Natura Naturals Inc. (June 2019), Tilray Canada Ltd. (February 2020), High Park Holdings Ltd. (May 2020) and High Park Farms Ltd. (April 2020). Our existing licenses and any new licenses that we may obtain in the future in Canada or other jurisdictions may be revoked or restricted at any time in the event that we are found not to be in compliance. Should we fail to comply with the applicable regulatory requirements or with conditions set out under our licenses, should our licenses not be renewed when required, be renewed on different terms, or be revoked, we may not be able to continue producing or distributing medical cannabis in Canada or other jurisdictions or to export medical cannabis outside of Canada or Portugal. In addition, we may be subject to enforcement proceedings resulting from a failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements in Canada or other jurisdictions, which could result in damage awards, a suspension of our existing approvals, a withdrawal of our existing approvals, the denial of the renewal of our existing approvals or any future approvals, recalls of products, product seizures, the imposition of future operating restrictions on our business or operations or the imposition of civil, regulatory or criminal fines or penalties against us, our officers and directors and other parties. These enforcement actions could delay or entirely prevent us from continuing the production, testing, marketing, sale or distribution of our medical products and divert management’s attention and resources away from our business operations.
The laws, regulations and guidelines generally applicable to the medical cannabis industry in Canada, Europe and other countries may change in ways that impact our ability to continue our business as currently conducted or proposed to be conducted.
The successful execution of our medical cannabis business objectives is contingent upon compliance with all applicable laws and regulatory requirements in Canada, Europe and other jurisdictions, including the requirements of the CR in Canada, and obtaining all other required regulatory approvals for the sale, import and export of our medical cannabis products. The commercial medical cannabis industry is a relatively new industry in Canada and the CR is a regime that has only been in effect in its current form since October 2018. The effect of Health Canada’s administration, application and enforcement of the regime established by the CR on us and our business in Canada, or the administration, application and enforcement of the laws of other countries by the appropriate regulators in those countries, may significantly delay or impact our ability to participate in the Canadian medical cannabis market or medical cannabis markets outside Canada, to develop medical cannabis products and produce and sell these medical cannabis products. Further, Health Canada, INFARMED or the regulatory authorities in other countries in which we operate or to which we export our medical cannabis products may change their administration, interpretation or application of the applicable regulations or their compliance or enforcement procedures at any time. Any such changes could require us to revise our ongoing compliance procedures, requiring us to incur increased compliance costs and expend additional resources. There is no assurance that we will be able to comply or continue to comply with applicable regulations.
Our ability to produce and sell our medical products in, and export our medical products to, other jurisdictions outside of Canada is dependent on compliance with additional regulatory and other requirements.
We are required to obtain and maintain certain permits, licenses or other approvals from regulatory agencies in countries and markets outside of Canada in which we operate, or to which we export, to produce or export to, and sell our medical products in, these countries, including, in the case of certain countries, the ability to demonstrate compliance with GMP standards. Our current certification of compliance with GMP standards for production at Tilray Nanaimo and any other GMP certification that we may receive in the future subject us, or will in the future subject us, to extensive ongoing compliance reviews to ensure that we continue to
53
maintain compliance with GMP standards. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to comply with these standards. While there has been a global reduction in passenger and cargo flights as a result of COVID-19, we have not been prevented from exporting medicinal cannabis at this time. However, there is no guarantee that future governmental actions in Canada, Portugal or other countries, or future market-oriented transportation capacity issues, will limit or altogether restrict the import and export of cannabis for medical purposes.
The continuation or expansion of our international operations depends on our ability to renew or secure necessary permits, licenses and other approvals. An agency’s denial of or delay in issuing or renewing a permit, license or other approval, or revocation or substantial modification of an existing permit, license or approval, could prevent us from continuing our operations in, marketing efforts in, or exporting to countries other than Canada. For example, Tilray Nanaimo’s current certification of GMP compliance must be renewed via re-inspection prior to June 30, 2021, and our failure to maintain such certification, or to comply with applicable industry quality assurance standards or receive similar regulatory certifications at any of our other facilities, may prevent us from continuing the expansion of our international operations. In addition, the export and import of medical cannabis is subject to United Nations treaties establishing country-by-country national estimates and our export and import permits are subject to these estimates which could limit the amount of medical cannabis we can export to any particular country.
The long-term effect of the legalization of adult-use cannabis in Canada on the medical cannabis industry is unknown, and may have a significant negative effect upon our medical cannabis business if our existing or future medical use customers decide to purchase products available in the adult-use market instead of purchasing medical use products from us.
According to recent Canadian government statistics, medicinal cannabis patient numbers continue to experience decline. A continued decrease in the overall size of the medical cannabis market in Canada as a result of the legal adult-use market or other factors may reduce our medical sales and revenue prospects in Canada. Factors that may influence demand for medical cannabis include the availability of product in each market, the price of medical cannabis products in relation to similar adult-use cannabis products, and the ease with which each market can be accessed in the individual provinces and territories of Canada. The impact of adult-use cannabis on the medical market is not yet fully understood as the market is still in a state of flux. In addition, new form factors have just been legalized and the degree to which these products will be made available on the medical market versus adult use is not yet known.Moreover, the CR regulation of cannabis for medical purposes is expected to be reviewed in light of the adult-use market. The effect on our business, and the medical cannabis market in general, of such a review is uncertain.
There has been limited study on the effects of medical cannabis and future clinical research studies may lead to conclusions that dispute or conflict with our understanding and belief regarding the medical benefits, viability, safety, efficacy, dosing and social acceptance of cannabis.
Research regarding the medical benefits, viability, safety, efficacy and dosing of cannabis or isolated cannabinoids (such as CBD and THC) remains in relatively early stages. There have been few clinical trials on the benefits of cannabis or isolated cannabinoids conducted by us or by others, and certain trials in which we participate have been delayed by COVID-19. While our trials have begun again recruit patients as medical institutions re-start their programs, there can be no assurance that these trials will continue on a timeframe acceptable to our business and on appropriate profitability horizons, particularly as COVID-19 infections spike.
Future research and clinical trials may draw opposing conclusions to statements contained in the articles, reports and studies we have relied on or could reach different or negative conclusions regarding the medical benefits, viability, safety, efficacy, dosing or other facts and perceptions related to medical cannabis, which could adversely affect social acceptance of cannabis and the demand for our products.
Tilray Nanaimo, Manitoba Harvest, High Park Farms, High Park Processing Facility and Tilray Portugal are integral to our business and adverse changes or developments affecting any of these facilities may have an adverse impact on us.
Currently, our activities and resources are primarily focused on the operation of Tilray Nanaimo, Manitoba Harvest, High Park Farms, Tilray Portugal and our current licenses under the CR are specific to Tilray Nanaimo, High Park Farms, High Park Gardens and our High Park Processing Facility. Adverse changes or developments affecting these facilities, including, but not limited to, disease or infestation of our crops, a fire, an explosion, a power failure, a natural disaster or a material failure of our security infrastructure, could reduce or require us to entirely suspend our production of cannabis. A significant failure of our site security measures and other facility requirements, including any failure to comply with regulatory requirements under the CR, could have an impact on our ability to continue operating under our Health Canada licenses and our prospects of renewing our Health Canada licenses, and could also result in a suspension or revocation of these Health Canada licenses. As we produce much of our medical cannabis products in Tilray Nanaimo, any event impacting our ability to continue production at Tilray Nanaimo, or requiring us to delay production, would prevent us from continuing to operate our business until operations at Tilray Nanaimo could be resumed, or until we were able to commence production at another facility.
We are currently expanding our Tilray Portugal facilities. We expect the expanded facilities will significantly increase our cultivation, growing, processing and distribution capacity; however, development impediments such as construction delays or cost over-runs in respect to the development of these facilities, howsoever caused, could delay or prevent our ability to produce cannabis at
54
these facilities. It is also possible that the final costs of the major equipment contemplated by our capital expenditure program relating to the development of Tilray Portugal may be significantly greater than anticipated, in which circumstance we may be required to curtail, or extend the timeframes for completing, such capital expenditure plans which would reduce our production capacity.
If we are unsuccessful in scaling operations at our facilities, we may become increasingly reliant on third-party cannabis suppliers, potentially at higher prices than our own cost to produce, which would have a negative impact on gross profit margins.
The medical cannabis industry and market are relatively new, and this industry and market may not continue to exist or develop as anticipated or we may ultimately be unable to succeed in this industry and market.
We are operating our current business in a relatively new medical cannabis industry and market, and our success depends on our ability to attract and retain patients. In addition to being subject to general business risks applicable to a business involving an agricultural product and a regulated consumer product, we need to continue to build brand awareness of our Tilray brand in the medical cannabis industry and make significant investments in our business strategy and production capacity. These investments include introducing new products into the markets in which we operate, adopting quality assurance protocols and procedures, building our international presence and undertaking regulatory compliance efforts. These activities may not promote our medical products as effectively as intended, or at all, and we expect that our competitors will undertake similar investments to compete with us for market share. Competitive conditions, consumer preferences, regulatory conditions, patient requirements, healthcare practitioner prescribing practices, and spending patterns in this industry and market are relatively unknown and may have unique characteristics that differ from other existing industries and markets and that cause our efforts to further our business to be unsuccessful or to have undesired consequences. As a result, we may not be successful in our efforts to attract and retain patients or to develop new medical cannabis products and produce and distribute these medical cannabis products to the markets in which we operate or to which we export in time to be effectively commercialized, or these activities may require significantly more resources than we currently anticipate in order to be successful.
We compete for market share with other companies, including other producers licensed by Health Canada, some of which have longer operating histories and more financial resources and manufacturing and marketing experience than we have.
We face, and we expect to continue to face, intense competition from Licensed Producers and other potential competitors, some of which have longer operating histories and more financial resources and manufacturing and marketing experience than we have. In addition, it is possible that the medical cannabis industry will undergo consolidation, creating larger companies with financial resources, manufacturing and marketing capabilities and product offerings that are greater than ours. As a result of this competition, we may be unable to maintain our operations or develop them as currently proposed, on terms we consider acceptable, or at all.
There are currently hundreds of applications for Licensed Producer status being processed by Health Canada. The number of licenses granted and the number of Licensed Producers ultimately authorized by Health Canada could have an adverse impact on our ability to compete for market share in Canada’s medical cannabis industry. We expect to face additional competition from new market entrants that are granted licenses under the CR or existing license holders that are not yet active in the industry. If a significant number of new licenses are granted by Health Canada, we may experience increased competition for market share and may experience downward price pressure on our medical cannabis products as new entrants increase production.
In addition, the CR permits patients in Canada to produce a limited amount of cannabis for their own medical purposes or to designate a person to produce a limited amount of cannabis on their behalf for such purposes. Widespread reliance upon this allowance could reduce the current or future consumer demand for our medical cannabis products.
If the number of users of cannabis for medical purposes in Canada increases, the demand for products will increase. This could result in the competition in the medical cannabis industry becoming more intense as current and future competitors begin to offer an increasing number of diversified medical cannabis products. Conversely, if there is a contraction in the medical market for cannabis in Canada, competition for market share may increase. To remain competitive, we intend to continue to invest in research and development and sales and patient support; however, we may not have sufficient resources to maintain research and development and sales and patient support efforts on a competitive basis.
In addition to the foregoing, the legal landscape for medical cannabis use is changing internationally. We have operations outside of Canada, which may be affected as other countries develop, adopt and change their medical cannabis laws. Increased international competition, including competition from suppliers in other countries who may be able to produce at lower cost, and limitations placed on us by Canadian or other regulations, might lower the demand for our medical cannabis products on a global scale.
General Business Risks and Risks Related to Our Financial Condition and Operations
We have a limited operating history and a history of net losses, and we may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future.
55
We began operating in 2014 and have yet to generate a profit. We generated a net loss of $2.31 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, and net losses of $321.2million, $67.7 million and $7.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Our accumulated deficit was $727.2 million as of September 30, 2020. We intend to continue to expend significant funds to increase our growing capacity, complete strategic mergers and acquisitions, invest in research and development, expand our marketing and sales operations and meet the compliance requirements as a public company.
Our efforts to grow our business may be more costly than we expect and we may not be able to increase our revenue enough to offset higher operating expenses. We may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including as a result of unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications and delays, the other risks described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other unknown events. The amount of future net losses will depend, in part, on the growth of our future expenses and our ability to generate revenue. If we continue to incur losses in the future, the net losses and negative cash flows incurred to date, together with any such future losses, will have an adverse effect on our stockholders’ equity and working capital. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with producing cannabis products, as outlined herein, we are unable to accurately predict when, or if, we will be able to achieve profitability. Even if we achieve profitability in the future, we may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods. If we are unable to achieve and sustain profitability, the market price of our Class 2 common stock may significantly decrease and our ability to raise capital, expand our business or continue our operations may be impaired.
We have become subject to increased litigation, arbitrations and demands as a result of the downstream merger, stock price decline, cannabis regulatory and industry changes, supply relationships and other matters, which could result in significant legal liability, additional costs, management distraction and damage to our reputation.
We have been named as a defendant in a class action relating to the merger of Privateer Holdings, Inc. with and into our wholly owned subsidiary (referred to as the Downstream Merger), a class action related to the drop in our stock price, and other litigation and demands relating to business decisions, regulatory and industry changes, supply relationships, and our business acquisition matters and related activities. Litigation may include claims for substantial compensatory or punitive damages or claims for indeterminate amounts of damages. We and our subsidiaries are also involved from time to time in other reviews, investigations and proceedings (both formal and informal) by governmental and self-regulatory agencies regarding our business. These matters also could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, injunctions or other relief.
We have incurredand may continue to incur substantial costs and expenses relating directly to these actions. Responding to such actions could divert management’s attention away from our business operations and result in substantial costs. For more information on our pending legal proceedings, see “Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We are exposed to risks relating to the laws of various countries as a result of our international operations.
We currently conduct operations in multiple countries and plan to expand these operations. As a result of our operations, we are exposed to various levels of political, economic, legal and other risks and uncertainties associated with operating in or exporting to these jurisdictions. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, changes in the laws, regulations and policies governing the production, sale and use of cannabis and cannabis-based products, political instability, instability at the United Nations level, currency controls, fluctuations in currency exchange rates and rates of inflation, labor unrest, changes in taxation laws, regulations and policies, restrictions on foreign exchange and repatriation and changing political conditions and governmental regulations relating to foreign investment and the cannabis business more generally.
Changes, if any, in the laws, regulations and policies relating to the advertising, production, sale and use of cannabis and cannabis-based products or in the general economic policies in these jurisdictions, or shifts in political attitude related thereto, may adversely affect the operations or profitability of our international operations in these countries. As we explore novel business models, such as global co-branded products, cannabinoid clinics and cannabis retail, international regulations will become increasingly challenging to manage. Specifically, our operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to, but not limited to, restrictions on advertising, production, price controls, export controls, controls on currency remittance, increased income taxes, restrictions on foreign investment, land and water use restrictions and government policies rewarding contracts to local competitors or requiring domestic producers or vendors to purchase supplies from a particular jurisdiction. Failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local practices could result in additional taxes, costs, civil or criminal fines or penalties or other expenses being levied on our international operations, as well as other potential adverse consequences such as the loss of necessary permits or governmental approvals.
Furthermore, although we have begun production at Tilray Portugal with a view toward facilitating exports of our cannabis products to countries in the EU (or, as permissible, elsewhere) from Portugal rather than from Canada, there is no assurance that these EU (or non-EU) countries will authorize the import of our cannabis products from Portugal, or that Portugal will authorize or continue to authorize such exports, or that such exports will provide us with advantages over our current EU export strategy. Each country in the EU (or elsewhere) may impose restrictions or limitations on imports that require the use of, or confer significant advantages upon, producers within that particular country. As a result, we may be required to establish production facilities similar to Tilray Portugal in one or more countries in the EU (or elsewhere) where we wish to distribute our cannabis products in order to take advantage of the favorable legislation offered to producers in these countries. In December of this year an on-site audit by the German GMP
56
inspectorate will take place at our Düsseldorf offices. Preparation of such audit will bind resources, especially in the Regulatory and Quality departments. A renewal/prolongation of our GMP license in Germany is the precondition to allow import, distribution and sale of the Tilray product portfolio in the German market, and any failure to achieve such renewal could have a material impact on our business.
We plan to expand our business and operations into jurisdictions outside of the current jurisdictions where we conduct business, and there are risks associated with doing so.
We plan in the future to expand our operations and business into jurisdictions outside of the jurisdictions where we currently carry on business. There can be no assurance that any market for our products will develop in any such foreign jurisdiction. We may face new or unexpected risks or significantly increase our exposure to one or more existing risk factors, including economic instability, new competition, changes in laws and regulations, including the possibility that we could be in violation of these laws and regulations as a result of such changes, and the effects of competition. These factors may limit our capability to successfully expand our operations in, or export our products to, those other jurisdictions.
We may be unable to sustain our revenue growth and development, and may be forced to adjust our operations accordingly.
Our revenue has grown in recent years. Our ability to sustain this growth will depend on a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including, but not limited to, the availability of sufficient capital on suitable terms, changes in laws and regulations respecting the production and distribution of cannabis products, competition from other Licensed Producers, the size of the black market, the size of the Canadian adult-use market, and our ability to produce sufficient volumes of our cannabis-based products to meet demand. Regulatory changes in the United States, Germany and Canada may continue to attract market entrants, therefore diluting our potential opportunity and early-mover advantage. In addition, we are subject to a variety of business risks generally associated with developing companies. Future development and expansion could place significant strain on our management personnel and likely will require us to recruit additional management personnel, and there is no assurance that we will be able to do so.
We and several of our competitors have recently taken significant cost-control measures in reaction to the intense competitive dynamic amongst Licensed Producers and the illicit market as well as other cannabis industry challenges. These measures include employee furloughs and lay-offs, brand and product portfolio prioritization and production facility closures. It is possible that we take additional cost-control measures in the future that may slow our revenue growth and development, and could result in material and other impairment charges in our statement of operations.
The Canadian adult-use marketplace may experience significant consolidation, and some of our current and future competitors will have superior resources and market share, which may significantly reduce our ability to compete due to scale, cost and pricing disadvantages.
The Canadian adult-use marketplace may experience consolidation, and some of the resulting companies that will be our competitors will have market presence, growth operations, technical and marketing capabilities and financial, personnel and other resources substantially greater than our own. In addition, some of these competitors will be able to raise capital at a lower cost than we will be able to. Consequently, some of these competitors may be able to develop and expand their growth, distribution and retail infrastructures more quickly, adapt more swiftly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, take advantage of acquisition and other opportunities more readily and devote greater resources to the marketing and sale of their products and services than we will be able to. Additionally, the greater brand name recognition of some of our current and future competitors or our competitors decreasing prices may require us to price our products at lower levels in order to retain or obtain customers. Finally, the cost advantages of some of these competitors may give them the ability to reduce their prices for an extended period of time if they so choose.
Our business is subject to a variety of United States and foreign laws, many of which are unsettled and still developing and which could subject us to claims or otherwise harm our business.
We are subject to a variety of state and federal laws in the United States, Canada and elsewhere. In the United States, despite cannabis having been legalized at the state level for medical use in many states and for adult-use in a number of states, cannabis meeting the statutory definition of “marihuana” continues to be categorized as a Schedule I controlled substance under the federal Controlled Substances Act, or the CSA, and subject to the Controlled Substances Import and Export Act, or the CSIEA. Hemp and marijuana both originate from the Cannabis sativa plant and CBD is a constituent of both. “Marihuana” or “marijuana” is defined in the CSA as a Schedule I controlled substance whereas “Hemp��� is essentially any parts of the Cannabis sativa plant that has not been determined to be marijuana. Pursuant to the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, or the Farm Bill, “hemp,” or cannabis and cannabis derivatives containing no more than 0.3% of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is now excluded from the statutory definition of “marijuana” and, as such, is no longer a Schedule I controlled substance under the CSA. Our activity in the United States is limited to (a) certain corporate and administrative services, including accounting, legal and creative services, (b) supply of study drug for clinical trials under DEA and FDA authorization, and (c) participation in the market for hemp and hemp-derived products containing CBD in
57
compliance with the Farm Bill; except as described above, we do not produce or distribute cannabis products in the United States. Therefore, we believe that we are not currently subject to the CSA or CSIEA.
We have commercialized in the United States a variety of hemp products, which might include certain cannabinoids including CBD, but would exclude THC at amounts more than 0.3%. While the Farm Bill exempted hemp and hemp derived products from the CSA, any such product commercialization will be subject to various laws, including the Farm Bill, the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, or the FD&CA, the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, or DSHEA, applicable state and/or local laws, and FDA regulations. The FDA has stated in guidance and other public statements that it is prohibited to sell a food, beverage or dietary supplement to which THC or CBD has been added. While the FDA does not have a formal policy of enforcement discretion with respect to any products with added CBD, the agency has stated that its primary focus for enforcement centers on products that put the health and safety of consumers at risk, such as those claiming to prevent, diagnose, mitigate, treat, or cure diseases in the absence of requisite approvals. While the agency’s enforcement to date has therefore focused on products containing CBD and that make drug-like claims, there is the risk that the FDA could expand its enforcement activities and require us to alter our marketing for our hemp-derived CBD products or cease distributing them altogether. Nevertheless, the regulation of hemp and CBD in the United States has been a constantly evolving and changing landscape, with changes in federal and state laws and regulation occurring on a frequent basis. Violations of applicable FDA and other laws could result in warning letters, significant fines, penalties, administrative sanctions, injunctions, convictions or settlements arising from civil proceedings.
We are further subject to a variety of laws and regulations in the United States, Canada and elsewhere that prohibit money laundering, including the Proceeds of Crime and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada) and the Money Laundering Control Act (United States), as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder and any related or similar rules, regulations or guidelines issued, administered or enforced by governmental authorities in the United States, Canada or any other jurisdiction in which we have business operations or to which we export. Although we believe that none of our activities implicate any applicable money laundering statutes, in the event that any of our business activities, any dividends or distributions therefrom, or any profits or revenue accruing thereby are found to be in violation of money laundering statutes, such transactions may be viewed as proceeds of crime under one or more of the statutes described above or any other applicable legislation, and any persons, including such United States-based investors, found to be aiding and abetting us in such violations could be subject to liability. Any violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our operations, involve significant management distraction and involve significant costs and expenses, including legal fees. We could also suffer severe penalties, including criminal and civil penalties, disgorgement and other remedial measures.
We are required to comply concurrently with federal, state or provincial, and local laws in each jurisdiction where we operate or to which we export our products.
Various federal, state or provincial and local laws govern our business in the jurisdictions in which we operate or propose to operate, or to which we export or propose to export our products, including laws and regulations relating to health and safety, conduct of operations and the production, management, transportation, storage and disposal of our products and of certain material used in our operations. Compliance with these laws and regulations requires concurrent compliance with complex federal, provincial or state and local laws. These laws change frequently and may be difficult to interpret and apply. Compliance with these laws and regulations requires the investment of significant financial and managerial resources, and a determination that we are not in compliance with these laws and regulations could harm our brand image and business. Moreover, it is impossible for us to predict the cost or effect of such laws, regulations or guidelines upon our future operations. Changes to these laws or regulations could negatively affect our competitive position within our industry and the markets in which we operate, and there is no assurance that various levels of government in the jurisdictions in which we operate will not pass legislation or regulation that adversely impacts our business.
United States regulations relating to hemp-derived CBD products are unclear and rapidly evolving, and may not develop on our anticipate timeframe or in a way most favorable to our business objectives.
Our participation in the market for hemp-derived CBD products in the United States and elsewhere may require us to employ novel approaches to existing regulatory pathways. Although the passage of the Farm Bill in December 2018 legalized the cultivation of hemp in the United States to produce products containing CBD and other non-THC cannabinoids, it remains unclear how the FDA will regulate this industry, and whether and when the FDA will propose or implement new or additional regulations. On May 31, 2019, the FDA held a public hearing to obtain scientific data and information about the safety, manufacturing, product quality, marketing, labeling, and sale of products containing cannabis or cannabis-derived compounds, including CBD. The FDA has also formed an internal working group to evaluate the potential pathways to market for CBD products. It remains unclear how CBD products will be regulated by the agency going forward.
In addition, such products may be subject to regulation at the state or local levels. While the Farm Bill created a pathway under which hemp and its derivatives are exempted from the definition of marijuana and, therefore, no longer at risk for deemed a Schedule I controlled substance under the CSA and would be protected from interference in interstate commerce, notwithstanding the ongoing implementation of those provisions, state and local authorities have issued their own restrictions on the cultivation or sale of hemp or hemp-derived CBD. This includes laws that ban the cultivation or possession of hemp or any other plant of the cannabis genus and derivatives thereof, such as CBD. State regulators may take enforcement action against food and dietary supplement
58
products that contain CBD, or enact new laws or regulations that prohibit or limit the sale of such products. Unforeseen regulatory obstacles or compliance costs may hinder our ability to successfully compete in the market for such products.
We may seek to enter into strategic alliances, or amend or expand the scope of currently existing relationships, with third parties that we believe will have a beneficial impact on us, and there are risks that such strategic alliances or expansions of our currently existing relationships may not enhance our business in the desired manner.
We currently have, and may adjust the scope of, and may in the future enter into, strategic alliances with third parties that we believe will complement or augment our existing business. Examples of such strategic alliances include our agreement with Sandoz, and our joint venture with AB InBev. Our ability to complete further strategic alliances is dependent upon, and may be limited by, among other things, the availability of suitable candidates and capital. In addition, strategic alliances could present unforeseen integration obstacles or costs, may not enhance our business and may involve risks that could adversely affect us, including the investment of significant amounts of management time that may be diverted from operations in order to pursue and complete such transactions or maintain such strategic alliances. We may become dependent on our strategic partners and actions by such partners could harm our business. Future strategic alliances could result in the incurrence of debt, impairment charges, costs and contingent liabilities, and there can be no assurance that future strategic alliances will achieve, or that our existing strategic alliances will continue to achieve, the expected benefits to our business or that we will be able to consummate future strategic alliances on satisfactory terms, or at all.
We may not be able to successfully identify and execute future acquisitions, dispositions or other equity transactions or to successfully manage the impacts of such transactions on our operations.
Material acquisitions, dispositions and other strategic transactions involve a number of risks, including: (i) the potential disruption of our ongoing business; (ii) the distraction of management away from the ongoing oversight of our existing business activities; (iii) incurring additional indebtedness; (iv) the anticipated benefits and cost savings of those transactions not being realized fully, or at all, or taking longer to realize than anticipated; (v) an increase in the scope and complexity of our operations and (vi) the loss or reduction of control over certain of our assets. Material acquisitions have been and may continue to be material to our business strategy. There is no guarantee that any acquisitions will be accretive, or that past or future acquisitions will not result in additional impairments or write downs.
The existence of one or more material liabilities of an acquired company that are unknown to us at the time of acquisition could result in our incurring those liabilities. A strategic transaction may result in a significant change in the nature of our business, operations and strategy, and we may encounter unforeseen obstacles or costs in implementing a strategic transaction or integrating any acquired business into our operations.
We are subject to risks inherent in an agricultural business, including the risk of crop failure.
We grow cannabis, which is an agricultural process. As such, our business is subject to the risks inherent in the agricultural business, including risks of crop failure presented by weather, insects, plant diseases and similar agricultural risks. Although we currently grow our products indoors under climate-controlled conditions, we are developing outdoor operations and there can be no assurance that natural elements, such as insects and plant diseases, will not entirely interrupt our production activities or have an adverse effect on our business.
We depend on significant customers for a substantial portion of our revenue. If we fail to retain or expand our customer relationships or if this significant customer were to terminate its relationship with us or reduce its purchases, our revenue could decline significantly.
Two customers accounted for 21% and 19% of revenue, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Three customers accounted for 20%, 18% and 11% of revenue, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Three customers accounted for 20%, 14%, and 10% of revenue, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Two customers accounted for 12% and 11%, of revenue, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
We believe that our operating results for the foreseeable future will continue to depend on sales to a small number of customers. These customers have no purchase commitments and may cancel, change or delay purchases with little or no notice or penalty. As a result of this customer concentration, our revenue could fluctuate materially and could be materially and disproportionately impacted by purchasing decisions of these customers or any other significant customer. In the future, these customers may decide to purchase less product from us than they have in the past, may alter purchasing patterns at any time with limited notice, or may decide not to continue to purchase our products at all, any of which could cause our revenue to decline materially and materially harm our financial condition and results of operations. If we are unable to diversify our customer base, we will continue to be susceptible to risks associated with customer concentration.
We may be unable to attract or retain key personnel with sufficient experience in the cannabis industry, and we may be unable to attract, develop and retain additional employees required for our development and future success.
59
Our success is largely dependent on the performance of our management team and certain employees and our continuing ability to attract, develop, motivate and retain highly qualified and skilled employees. Qualified individuals are in high demand, and we may incur significant costs to attract and retain them. The loss of the services of any key personnel, or an inability to attract other suitably qualified persons when needed, could prevent us from executing on our business plan and strategy, and we may be unable to find adequate replacements on a timely basis, or at all. We do not currently maintain key-person insurance on the lives of any of our key personnel.
Further, each director and officer, as well as certain additional key personnel, of a company that holds a license is subject to the requirement to obtain and maintain a security clearance from Health Canada under the CR. Moreover, under the CR, an individual with security clearance must be physically present on site when other individuals are conducting activities with cannabis. Under the CR, a security clearance is valid for a limited time and must be renewed before the expiry of a current security clearance. There is no assurance that any of our existing personnel who presently or may in the future require a security clearance will be able to obtain or renew such clearances or that new personnel who require a security clearance will be able to obtain one. A failure by an individual in a key operational position to maintain or renew his or her security clearance could result in a reduction or complete suspension of our operations. In addition, if an individual in a key operational position leaves us, and we are unable to find a suitable replacement who is able to obtain a security clearance required by the CR in a timely manner, or at all, we may not be able to conduct our operations at planned production volume levels or at all. In addition, the CR requires us to designate a qualified individual in charge who is responsible for supervising activities relating to the production of study drug for clinical trials, which individual must meet certain educational and security clearance requirements. If our current designated qualified person in charge fails to maintain his security clearance, or if our current designated qualified person in charge leaves us and we are unable to find a suitable replacement who meets these requirements, we may no longer be able to continue our clinical trial activities.
Increased labor costs, potential organization of our workforce, employee strikes and other labor-related disruption may adversely affect our operations.
Apart from certain employees in Portugal, none of our employees are represented by a labor union or subject to a collective bargaining agreement. In Portugal, some of our employees are subject to a government-mandated collective bargaining agreement, which grants affected employees certain additional benefits beyond those required by the local labor code. We cannot assure you that our labor costs going forward will remain competitive because in the future our workforce may organize and labor agreements may be put in place that have significantly higher labor rates and company obligations; at the same time, our competitors may maintain significantly lower labor costs, thereby reducing or eliminating our comparative advantages vis-à-vis one or more of our competitors or the larger industry; additionally, our labor costs may increase in connection with our growth.
Significant interruptions in our access to certain supply chains, including recently as a result of COVID-19, for key inputs such as raw materials, electricity, water and other utilities may impair our cannabis growing operations.
Our business is dependent on a number of key inputs and their related costs (certain of which are sourced in other countries and on different continents), including raw materials, supplies and equipment related to our operations, as well as electricity, water and other utilities. We operate global manufacturing facilities, and have dispersed suppliers and customers. Governments may regulate or restrict the flow of our labor or our products, and the Company's operations, suppliers, customers and distribution channels could be severely impacted. COVID 19 could also have an adverse impact on consumer demand for our products and prices for our raw materials. While we have not experienced any material supply chain disruptions at this time as a result of COVID-19, any significant future governmental-mandated or market-related interruption, price increase or negative change in the availability or economics of the supply chain for key inputs and, in particular, rising or volatile energy costs could curtail or preclude our ability to continue production. In addition, our operations would be significantly affected by a prolonged power outage.
Our ability to compete and grow cannabis is dependent on us having access, at a reasonable cost and in a timely manner, to skilled labor, equipment, parts and components. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in maintaining our required supply of labor, equipment, parts and components. See “The COVID-19 pandemic has developed rapidly, resulting in government ordered closures of significant portions of the global economy, including in the United States, Canada, Portugal, and Germany, places in which we conduct significant business, and could adversely affect our ability to conduct normal business operations, and harm our business and future results of operations and financial condition.”
We may require third party supply of quality cannabis flower to meet consumer demand or regulatory requirements, which may adversely affect our cost of goods sold and subject us to unreliable supply chains or product quality.
Our business is highly dependent on the production and sale of acceptable and certifiable cannabis flower. Our operations may not produce sufficient volumes of cannabis flower or particular cultivars (commonly referred to as “strains”) to meet consumer demand. It is also possible that our cannabis flower production fails to meet our strict internal quality standards or external regulation specifications. This may require us to contract to purchase cannabis flower from third parties. There is no guarantee we will be able to source cannabis flower at attractive prices or that any third party-sourced product will meet our quality standards and all regulatory requirements. If we are unable to source sufficient cannabis flower for any of these reasons, our sales goals may not be achieved or
60
our costs may increase, or both may occur. An increasing reliance on third party cannabis flower supply could materially impact our business reputation, financial condition and results of operations.
Fluctuations in cannabinoid prices relative to contracted prices with third party suppliers could negatively impact our earnings.
A portion of our results of operations and financial condition, as well as the selling prices for our products, are dependent upon cannabinoid supply contracts. As part of our normal course operations, we periodically enter into large and medium-to-long-term supply contracts with third-party growers. Production and pricing of cannabinoids are determined by constantly changing market forces of supply and demand over which we have limited or no control. The market for cannabis biomass is particularly volatile compared to other commoditized markets due to the relatively nascent maturity of the industry in which we operate. Furthermore, the lack of centralized data and large variations in product quality make it difficult to establish a “spot price” for cannabinoids, and develop an effective price hedging strategy. Accordingly, supply contracts with any term may prove to be costly in the future to the extent cannabinoid prices decrease dramatically or at a faster rate than anticipated. Furthermore, supply contracts typically include minimum purchase requirements which could force us to buy significant quantities of product at non-competitive prices in a rapidly changing market. Due to changing industry dynamics, we are currently re-negotiating the terms of several supply contracts, and, at this time, the outcome of those negotiations is uncertain. Our failure to successfully re-negotiate certain of these supply contracts on terms acceptable to us could result in us being contractually obligated to purchase significant amounts of products, some of which may be priced above then-current market prices, or litigation against us, or interruption of the supply of inputs for the manufacturing of our products, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and prospects. In addition, any litigation or arbitration resulting in an adverse judgment or award against us could result in a default under our credit facility and convertible notes. See “We have become subject to increased litigation, arbitrations and demands as a result of the downstream merger, stock price decline, and cannabis regulatory and industry changes, supply relationships and other matters, which could result in significant legal liability, additional costs, management distraction and damage to our reputation.”
We may not be able to transport our cannabis products to consumers in a safe and efficient manner.
Due to our direct-to-consumer shipping model for medical cannabis in Canada, we depend on fast and efficient third-party transportation services to distribute our medical cannabis products. We also use such services to transfer bulk shipments to provinces and territories for further distribution to private and public retailers focused on non-medical consumers. Any prolonged disruption of third-party transportation services, such as any Canada Post disruptions, could have a material adverse effect on our sales volumes or satisfaction with our services. Rising costs associated with third-party transportation services used by us to ship our products may also adversely impact our profitability, and more generally our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The security of our products during transportation to and from our facilities is of the utmost concern. A breach of security during transport or delivery could result in the loss of high-value product and forfeiture of import and export approvals, since such approvals are shipment specific. Any failure to take steps necessary to ensure the safekeeping of our cannabis could also have an impact on our ability to continue supplying provinces and territories, to continue operating under our existing licenses, to renew or receive amendments to our existing licenses or to receive required new licenses.
Our cannabis products may be subject to recalls for a variety of reasons, which could require us to expend significant management and capital resources.
Manufacturers and distributors of products are sometimes subject to the recall or return of their products for a variety of reasons, including product defects, such as contamination, adulteration, unintended harmful side effects or interactions with other substances, packaging safety and inadequate or inaccurate labeling disclosure. Although we have detailed procedures in place for testing finished cannabis products, there can be no assurance that any quality, potency or contamination problems will be detected in time to avoid unforeseen product recalls, regulatory action or lawsuits, whether frivolous or otherwise. If any of the cannabis products produced by us are recalled due to an alleged product defect or for any other reason, we could be required to incur the unexpected expense of the recall and any legal proceedings that might arise in connection with the recall. As a result of any such recall, we may lose a significant amount of sales and may not be able to replace those sales at an acceptable gross profit or at all. In addition, a product recall may require significant management attention or damage our reputation and goodwill or that of our products or brands.
Additionally, product recalls may lead to increased scrutiny of our operations by Health Canada or other regulatory agencies, requiring further management attention, increased compliance costs and potential legal fees, fines, penalties and other expenses. Any product recall affecting the cannabis industry more broadly, whether or not involving us, could also lead consumers to lose confidence in the safety and security of the products sold by Licensed Producers generally, including products sold by us.
We may be subject to product liability claims or regulatory action if our products are alleged to have caused significant loss or injury. This risk is exacerbated by the fact that cannabis use may increase the risk of serious adverse side effects.
61
As a manufacturer and distributor of products which are ingested by humans, we face the risk of exposure to product liability claims, regulatory action and litigation if our products are alleged to have caused loss or injury. We may be subject to these types of claims due to allegations that our products caused or contributed to injury or illness, failed to include adequate instructions for use or failed to include adequate warnings concerning possible side effects or interactions with other substances. This risk is exacerbated by the fact that cannabis use may increase the risk of developing schizophrenia and other psychoses, symptoms for individuals with bipolar disorder, and other side effects. Furthermore, we are now offering an expanded assortment of form factors as a result of Cannabis 2.0, some of which may have adverse side effects. See “In connection with the amended Canadian adult-use regulations which became effective October 17, 2019 and permitted new classes of cannabis on December 16, 2019, we will now offer cannabis-only vape products in Canada. The vape market is a niche market that remains subject to a great deal of uncertainty and is still evolving. Recent negative public sentiment and regulatory scrutiny of vaporizing in the United States may cause Health Canada to further limit usage and diminish Canadian consumer demand for our cannabis vape products.”
Previously unknown adverse reactions resulting from human consumption of cannabis products alone or in combination with other medications or substances could also occur.
In addition, the manufacture and sale of cannabis products, like the manufacture and sale of any ingested product, involves a risk of injury to consumers due to tampering by unauthorized third parties or product contamination. We have in the past recalled, and may again in the future have to recall, certain of our cannabis products as a result of potential contamination and quality assurance concerns. A product liability claim or regulatory action against us could result in increased costs and could adversely affect our reputation and goodwill with our patients and consumers generally. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain product liability insurance on acceptable terms or with adequate coverage against potential liabilities. Such insurance is expensive and may not be available in the future on acceptable terms, or at all. The inability to obtain sufficient insurance coverage on reasonable terms or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims could result in us becoming subject to significant liabilities that are uninsured and also could adversely affect our commercial arrangements with third parties.
We rely on third-party distributors to distribute our products, and those distributors may not perform their obligations.
We rely on third-party distributors, including pharmaceutical distributors, courier services, and government agencies, and may in the future rely on other third parties, to distribute our products. If these distributors do not successfully carry out their contractual duties, if there is a delay or interruption in the distribution of our products, or if these third parties damage our products, it could negatively impact our revenue from product sales. Any damage to our products, such as product spoilage, could expose us to potential product liability, damage our reputation and the reputation of our brands or otherwise harm our business.
We, or the cannabis industry more generally, may receive unfavorable publicity or become subject to negative consumer or investor perception.
We believe that the cannabis industry is highly dependent upon positive consumer and investor perception regarding the benefits, safety, efficacy and quality of the cannabis distributed to consumers. The perception of the cannabis industry and cannabis products, currently and in the future, may be significantly influenced by scientific research or findings, regulatory investigations, litigation, political statements, media attention and other publicity (whether or not accurate or with merit) both in Canada and in other countries relating to the consumption of cannabis products, including unexpected safety or efficacy concerns arising with respect to cannabis products or the activities of industry participants. There can be no assurance that future scientific research, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other research findings or publicity will be favorable to the cannabis market or any particular cannabis product or will be consistent with earlier publicity. Adverse future scientific research reports, findings and regulatory proceedings that are, or litigation, media attention or other publicity that is, perceived as less favorable than, or that questions, earlier research reports, findings or publicity (whether or not accurate or with merit) could result in a significant reduction in the demand for our cannabis products. Further, adverse publicity reports or other media attention regarding the safety, efficacy and quality of cannabis, or our products specifically, or associating the consumption of cannabis with illness or other negative effects or events, could adversely affect us. This adverse publicity could arise even if the adverse effects associated with cannabis products resulted from consumers’ failure to use such products legally, appropriately or as directed.
Certain events or developments in the cannabis industry more generally may impact our reputation.
Damage to our reputation can result from the actual or perceived occurrence of any number of events, including any negative publicity, whether true or not. As a producer and distributor of cannabis, which is a controlled substance in Canada that has previously been commonly associated with various other narcotics, violence and criminal activities, there is a risk that our business might attract negative publicity. There is also a risk that the actions of other Licensed Producers or of other companies and service providers in the cannabis industry may negatively affect the reputation of the industry as a whole and thereby negatively impact our reputation. The increased usage of social media and other web-based tools used to generate, publish and discuss user-generated content and to connect with other users has made it increasingly easier for individuals and groups to communicate and share negative opinions and views in regards to our activities and the cannabis industry in general, whether true or not.
62
We do not ultimately have direct control over how we or the cannabis industry is perceived by others. Reputational issues may result in decreased investor confidence, increased challenges in developing and maintaining community relations and present an impediment to our overall ability to advance our business strategy and realize on our growth prospects.
If we are not able to comply with all safety, health and environmental regulations applicable to our operations and industry, we may be held liable for any breaches of those regulations.
Safety, health and environmental laws and regulations affect nearly all aspects of our operations, including product development, working conditions, waste disposal, emission controls, the maintenance of air and water quality standards and land reclamation, and, with respect to environmental laws and regulations, impose limitations on the generation, transportation, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. Continuing to meet GMP standards, which we follow voluntarily, requires satisfying additional standards for the conduct of our operations and subjects us to ongoing compliance inspections in respect of these standards. Compliance with safety, health and environmental laws and regulations can require significant expenditures, and failure to comply with such safety, health and environmental laws and regulations may result in the imposition of fines and penalties, the temporary or permanent suspension of operations, the imposition of clean-up costs resulting from contaminated properties, the imposition of damages and the loss of or refusal of governmental authorities to issue permits or licenses to us or to certify our compliance with GMP standards. Exposure to these liabilities may arise in connection with our existing operations, our historical operations and operations that we may undertake in the future. We could also be held liable for worker exposure to hazardous substances and for accidents causing injury or death. There can be no assurance that we will at all times be in compliance with all safety, health and environmental laws and regulations notwithstanding our attempts to comply with such laws and regulations.
Changes in applicable safety, health and environmental standards may impose stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. We are not able to determine the specific impact that future changes in safety, health and environmental laws and regulations may have on our industry, operations and/or activities and our resulting financial position; however, we anticipate that capital expenditures and operating expenses will increase in the future as a result of the implementation of new and increasingly stringent safety, health and environmental laws and regulations. Further changes in safety, health and environmental laws and regulations, new information on existing safety, health and environmental conditions or other events, including legal proceedings based upon such conditions or an inability to obtain necessary permits in relation thereto, may require increased compliance expenditures by us.
We may not be able to obtain adequate insurance coverage in respect of the risks our business faces, the premiums for such insurance may not continue to be commercially justifiable or there may be coverage limitations and other exclusions which may result in such insurance not being sufficient to cover potential liabilities that we face.
We currently have insurance coverage, including product liability insurance, protecting many, but not all, of our assets and operations. Our insurance coverage is subject to coverage limits and exclusions and may not be available for the risks and hazards to which we are exposed. In addition, no assurance can be given that such insurance will be adequate to cover our liabilities, including potential product liability claims, or will be generally available in the future or, if available, that premiums will be commercially justifiable. If we were to incur substantial liability and such damages were not covered by insurance or were in excess of policy limits, we may be exposed to material uninsured liabilities that could impede our liquidity, profitability or solvency.
We may become subject to liability arising from any fraudulent or illegal activity by our employees, contractors, consultants and others.
We are exposed to the risk that our employees, independent contractors, consultants, service providers and licensors may engage in fraudulent or other illegal activity. Misconduct by these parties could include intentional undertakings of unauthorized activities, or reckless or negligent undertakings of authorized activities, in each case on our behalf or in our service that violate: (i) government regulations, specifically Health Canada regulations; (ii) manufacturing standards; (iii) Canadian federal and provincial healthcare laws and regulations; (iv) laws that require the true, complete and accurate reporting of financial information or data; (v) United States federal laws banning the possession, sale or importation of cannabis into the United States and prohibiting the financing of activities outside the United States that are unlawful under Canadian or other foreign laws or (vi) the terms of our agreements with insurers. In particular, we could be exposed to class action and other litigation, increased Health Canada inspections and related sanctions, the loss of current GMP compliance certifications or the inability to obtain future GMP compliance certifications, lost sales and revenue or reputational damage as a result of prohibited activities that are undertaken in the growing or production process of our products without our knowledge or permission and contrary to our internal policies, procedures and operating requirements.
We cannot always identify and prevent misconduct by our employees and other third parties, including service providers and licensors, and the precautions taken by us to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown, unanticipated or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting us from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from such misconduct. If any such actions are instituted against us, and we are not successful in defending ourselves or asserting our rights, those actions could have a significant impact on our business, including the imposition of civil, criminal or administrative
63
penalties, damages, monetary fines and contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings or curtailment of our operations.
We may experience breaches of security at our facilities or loss as a result of the theft of our products.
Because of the nature of our products and the limited legal channels for distribution, as well as the concentration of inventory in our facilities, we are subject to the risk of theft of our products and other security breaches. A security breach at any one of our facilities could result in a significant loss of available products, expose us to additional liability under applicable regulations and to potentially costly litigation or increase expenses relating to the resolution and future prevention of similar thefts, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may be subject to risks related to our information technology systems, including the risk that we may be the subject of a cyber-attack and the risk that we may be in non-compliance with applicable privacy laws.
We have entered into agreements with third parties for hardware, software, telecommunications and other information technology, or IT, services in connection with our operations. Our operations depend, in part, on how well we and our vendors protect networks, equipment, IT systems and software against damage from a number of threats, including, but not limited to, cable cuts, damage to physical plants, natural disasters, intentional damage and destruction, fire, power loss, hacking, computer viruses, vandalism, theft, malware, ransomware and phishing attacks. We are increasingly reliant on Cloud-based systems for economies of scale and our mobile workforce, which could result in increased attack vectors or other significant disruptions to our work processes. Any of these and other events could result in IT system failures, delays or increases in capital expenses. Our operations also depend on the timely maintenance, upgrade and replacement of networks, equipment and IT systems and software, as well as preemptive expenses to mitigate the risks of failures. The failure of IT systems or a component of IT systems could, depending on the nature of any such failure, adversely impact our reputation and results of operations.
There are a number of laws protecting the confidentiality of certain patient health information and other personal information, including patient records, and restricting the use and disclosure of that protected information. In particular, the privacy rules under the Personal Information Protection and Electronics Documents Act (Canada), or the PIPEDA, the European Unions’ General Data Protection Regulation, or the GDPR, and similar laws in other jurisdictions, protect medical records and other personal health information by limiting their use and disclosure to the minimum level reasonably necessary to accomplish the intended purpose. We collect and store personal information about our consumers and are responsible for protecting that information from privacy breaches. A privacy breach may occur through a procedural or process failure, an IT malfunction or deliberate unauthorized intrusions. Theft of data for competitive purposes, particularly patient lists and preferences, is an ongoing risk whether perpetrated through employee collusion or negligence or through deliberate cyber-attack. Moreover, if we are found to be in violation of the privacy or security rules under PIPEDA or other laws protecting the confidentiality of patient health information, including as a result of data theft and privacy breaches, we could be subject to sanctions and civil or criminal penalties, which could increase our liabilities and harm our reputation.
As cyber threats continue to evolve, we may be required to expend significant additional resources to continue to modify or enhance our protective measures or to investigate and remediate any information security vulnerabilities. While we have implemented security resources to protect our data security and information technology systems, such measures may not prevent such events. Significant disruption to our information technology system or breaches of data security could have a material adverse effect on our business financial condition and results of operations.
We may be unable to expand our operations quickly enough to meet demand or manage our operations beyond their current scale.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to manage our expanding operations, including any acquisitions, effectively, that we will be able to sustain or accelerate our growth or that such growth, if achieved, will result in profitable operations, that we will be able to attract and retain sufficient management personnel necessary for continued growth or that we will be able to successfully make strategic investments or acquisitions. This challenge has been compounded with the launch of multiple new form factors as a result of Cannabis 2.0. See “Cannabis 2.0 allows for new and untested Cannabis products and form factors, and we may ultimately be unsuccessful in developing and offering these new products in our Canadian markets.”
Demand for cannabis-based products is dependent on a number of social, political and economic factors that are beyond our control. There is no assurance that an increase in existing demand will occur, that we will benefit from any such demand increase or that our business will remain profitable even in the event of such an increase in demand. If we are unable to achieve or sustain profitability, the value of our Class 2 common stock and the notes may significantly decrease.
The cannabis industry continues to face significant funding challenges, and we may not be able to secure adequate or reliable sources of funding required to operate our business or increase our production to meet consumer demand for our products.
The continued development of our business will require significant additional financing, and there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain the financing necessary to achieve our business objectives. Our ability to obtain additional financing will depend
64
on investor demand, our performance and reputation, market conditions, and other factors. Our inability to raise such capital could result in the delay or indefinite postponement of our current business objectives or our inability to continue to operate our business. On February 28, 2020, we entered into a senior secured credit facility with Bridging Finance Inc., for an aggregate principal amount of $59.6 million, as further amended on June 5, 2020, the “Senior Credit Facility.” On March 17, 2020, we issued Class 2 common stock, pre-funded warrants and warrants, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $85.3 million. There can be no assurance that additional capital or other types of equity or debt financing will be available if needed or that, if available, the terms of such financing will be favorable to us. See “Our senior secured credit facility contains covenant restrictions that may limit our ability to operate our business.”
In addition, from time to time, we may enter into transactions to acquire assets or the capital stock or other equity interests of other entities. Our continued growth may be financed, wholly or partially, with debt, which may increase our debt levels above industry standards. Any debt financing secured in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. Debt financings may also contain provisions that, if breached, may entitle lenders or their agents to accelerate the repayment of loans or realize a first priority security over our significant operating assets, and there is no assurance that we would be able to repay such loans in such an event or prevent the enforcement of security granted pursuant to any such debt financing.
Our senior secured credit facility contains covenant restrictions that may limit our ability to operate our business.
On February 28, 2020, we entered into the Senior Credit Facility. The Senior Credit Facility contains, and any of our other future debt agreements may contain, covenant restrictions that limit our ability to operate our business, including restrictions on our ability to, among other things, invest in our existing facilities, incur additional debt or issue guarantees, create additional liens, repurchase stock or make other restricted payments, and make certain voluntary prepayments of specified debt. As a result of these covenants, our ability to respond to changes in business and economic conditions and engage in beneficial transactions, including to obtain additional financing as needed, may be restricted. Furthermore, our failure to comply with our debt covenants could result in a default under our debt agreements, which could permit the holders to accelerate our obligation to repay the debt. If any of our debt is accelerated, we may not have sufficient funds available to repay it.
Servicing our debt will require a significant amount of cash, and we may not have sufficient cash flow from our business to pay our substantial debt.
As of September 30, 2020, we had $484.1 million in aggregate principal indebtedness (refer to Notes 12 & 13) to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).
Our substantial consolidated indebtedness may increase our vulnerability to any generally adverse economic and industry conditions. We and our subsidiaries may, subject to the limitations in the terms of our existing and future indebtedness, incur additional debt, secure existing or future debt or recapitalize our debt. Our ability to make scheduled payments of the principal of, to pay interest on or to refinance our current and future indebtedness, depends on our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. Our business has not generated positive cash flow from operations. If this continues in the future, we may not have sufficient cash flows to service our debt and make necessary capital expenditures. If we are unable to generate such cash flow, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring debt or obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive. Our ability to refinance our current and future indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on our debt obligations.
We incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company and our management is required to devote substantial time to compliance initiatives.
As a public company, we have incurred and will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur prior to our IPO. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and rules implemented by the SEC and the Nasdaq Global Select Market, impose various requirements on public companies, including requirements to file annual, quarterly and event-driven reports with respect to our business and financial condition and operations and establish and maintain effective disclosure and financial controls and corporate governance practices. Effective January 1, 2020, we became a “large accelerated filer” under SEC reporting rules and, and are required to file our annual report and quarterly reports more quickly than we previously had been required to file them, which may require us to dedicate additional resources to the timely filing of such reports. In addition, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or Section 404, we are required to furnish a report by our management on our Internal Controls over Financial Reporting (“ICFR”), which must be accompanied by an attestation report on ICFR issued by our independent registered public accounting firm. To achieve compliance with Section 404 within the prescribed period, we have documented and evaluated our ICFR, which has been both costly and challenging. We expect our costs to increase substantially in order to comply with these
65
additional and more burdensome requirements. Our existing management team has and will continue to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives, and we may need to hire additional personnel to assist us with complying with these requirements. Moreover, these rules and regulations have increased and will continue to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time consuming and costly.
Management may not be able to successfully implement adequate internal controls over financial reporting.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d(f) under the Exchange Act, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Our management and other personnel have limited experience operating a public company, which may result in a failure of our ICFR and Disclosure Controls and Procedures (“DCP”) necessary to ensure timely and accurate reporting of operational and financial results. Due to inherent limitations, our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
As of December 31, 2019 we identified material weaknesses in two components of internal control as defined by COSO 2013 (Control Environment and Control Activities).
We did not maintain an effective control environment based on the criteria established in the COSO framework. We have identified deficiencies in the principles associated with the control environment of the COSO framework. Specifically, these control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses, either individually or in the aggregate, relating to: (i) appropriate organizational structure, reporting lines, and authority and responsibilities in pursuit of objectives, (ii) our commitment to attract, develop, and retain competent individuals, and (iii) holding individuals accountable for their internal control related responsibilities.
As of December 31, 2019, we did not maintain an effective control environment to allow for the accurate and timely filing of our financial statements primarily attributable to the following factor:
|
|
We did not fully design and implement effective control activities based on the criteria established in the COSO framework. We have identified deficiencies in the principles associated with the control activities component of the COSO framework. Specifically, these control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses, either individually or in the aggregate, relating to: (i) selecting and developing control activities that contribute to the mitigation of risks to the achievement of objectives to acceptable levels, and (ii) deploying control activities through policies that establish what is expected and procedures that put policies into action.
We did not have effective controls in response to the risks of material misstatement. This material weakness is primarily attributable to the following factors:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Due to the existence of the above material weaknesses, management, including the CEO and CFO, has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2019. We are actively working on a remediation plan to cure our previously reported material weaknesses; however, there is a risk we may not able to implement all control changes required to fully cure such material weaknesses. If not cured, these material weaknesses create a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to the consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Conflicts of interest may arise between us and our directors and officers as a result of other business activities undertaken by such individuals.
We may be subject to various potential conflicts of interest because some of our directors and executive officers may be engaged in a range of business activities. In addition, our directors and executive officers are permitted under their applicable agreements with us to devote time to their outside business interests, so long as such activities do not materially or adversely interfere with their duties to us and subject to any contractual restrictions restricting such activities. These business interests could require the
66
investment of significant time and attention by our executive officers and directors. In some cases, our executive officers and directors, including our Chief Executive Officer and President, Brendan Kennedy and board member, Michael Auerbach, may have fiduciary obligations associated with business interests that interfere with their ability to devote time to our business and affairs, which could adversely affect our operations. Please refer to the section titled “Transactions with Related Persons” in our Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the SEC on April 30, 2020, for further information.
Third parties with whom we do business may perceive themselves as being exposed to reputational risk as a result of their relationship with us.
The parties with whom we do business, or would like to do business, may perceive that they are exposed to reputational risk as a result of our business activities relating to cannabis, which could hinder our ability to establish or maintain business relationships. These perceptions relating to the cannabis industry may interfere with our relationship with service providers, particularly in the financial services industry.
Tax and accounting requirements may change in ways that are unforeseen to us and we may face difficulty or be unable to implement or comply with any such changes.
We are subject to numerous tax and accounting requirements, and changes in existing accounting or taxation rules or practices, or varying interpretations of current rules or practices, could have a significant adverse effect on our financial results, the manner in which we conduct our business or the marketability of any of our products. We currently have international operations and plan to expand such operations in the future. These operations, and any expansion thereto, will require us to comply with the tax laws and regulations of multiple jurisdictions, which may vary substantially. Complying with the tax laws of these jurisdictions can be time consuming and expensive and could potentially subject us to penalties and fees in the future if we were to fail to comply.
Because a significant portion of our sales are generated in Canada, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could harm our results of operations.
The reporting currency for our financial statements is the United States dollar. We derive a significant portion of our revenue and incur a significant portion of our operating costs in Canada, and changes in exchange rates between the Canadian dollar and the United States dollar may have a significant, and potentially adverse, effect on our results of operations. Our primary risk of loss regarding foreign currency exchange rate risk is caused by fluctuations in the exchange rates between the United States dollar and the Canadian dollar, although as we expand internationally, we will be subject to additional foreign currency exchange risks. Because we recognize revenue in Canada in Canadian dollars, if the Canadian dollar weakens against the United States dollar it would have a negative impact on our Canadian operating results upon the translation of those results into U.S. dollars for the purposes of consolidation. In addition, a weakening of the Canadian dollar against the United States dollar would make it more difficult for us to meet our obligations under the convertible notes. We have not historically engaged in hedging transactions and do not currently contemplate engaging in hedging transactions to mitigate foreign exchange risks. As we continue to recognize gains and losses in foreign currency transactions, depending upon changes in future currency rates, such gains or losses could have a significant, and potentially adverse, effect on our results of operations.
We may have exposure to greater than anticipated tax liabilities, which could seriously harm our business.
Our income tax obligations are based on our corporate operating structure and third-party and intercompany arrangements, including the manner in which we develop, value and use our intellectual property and the valuations of our intercompany transactions. The tax laws applicable to our international business activities, including the laws of the United States, Canada and other jurisdictions, are subject to change and uncertain interpretation. The taxing authorities of the jurisdictions in which we operate may challenge our methodologies for valuing developed technology, intercompany arrangements or transfer pricing, which could increase our worldwide effective tax rate and the amount of taxes that we pay and seriously harm our business. Taxing authorities may also determine that the manner in which we operate our business is not consistent with how we report our income, which could increase our effective tax rate and the amount of taxes that we pay and could seriously harm our business. In addition, our future income taxes could fluctuate because of earnings being lower than anticipated in jurisdictions that have lower statutory tax rates and higher than anticipated in jurisdictions that have higher statutory tax rates, by changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities or by changes in tax laws, regulations or accounting principles.
We are subject to regular review and audit by United States federal and state and foreign tax authorities. Any adverse outcome from a review or audit could seriously harm our business. In addition, determining our worldwide provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities requires significant judgment by management, and there are many transactions where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Although we believe that the amounts recorded in our financial statements are reasonable, the ultimate tax outcome relating to such amounts may differ for such period or periods and may seriously harm our business. Furthermore, due to shifting economic and political conditions, tax policies, laws, or rates in various jurisdictions may be subject to significant changes in ways that impair our financial results. Our results of operations and cash flows could be adversely effected by additional taxes
67
imposed on us prospectively or retroactively or additional taxes or penalties resulting from the failure to comply with any collection obligations or failure to provide information for tax reporting purposes to various government agencies.
The long-term effect of United States tax reform or the recently enacted CARES Act could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
On December 22, 2017, the legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “U.S. Tax Act”) was enacted, which contains significant changes to United States tax law. The U.S. Act requires complex computations to be performed that were not previously required by U.S. tax law, significant judgments to be made in interpretation of the provisions of the U.S. Tax Act, significant estimates in calculations, and the preparation and analysis of information not previously relevant or regularly produced. The U.S. Treasury Department, the IRS, and other standard-setting bodies will continue to interpret or issue guidance on how provisions of the U.S. Tax Act will be applied or otherwise administered. As future guidance is issued, we may make adjustments to amounts that we have previously recorded that may materially impact our financial statements in the period in which the adjustments are made. Additionally, further guidance may be forthcoming from the Financial Accounting Standards Board and SEC, as well as regulations, interpretations and rulings from state tax agencies, which could result in additional impacts, possibly with retroactive effect. Any such changes or potential additional impacts could adversely affect our business and financial condition. We will continue to examine and assess the impact this tax reform legislation may have on our business. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act, among other things, permits NOL carryovers and carrybacks to offset 100% of taxable income for taxable years beginning before 2021. In addition, the CARES Act allows NOLs incurred in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes. Further it provides for increased deductibility of interest expense in 2019 and 2020. We are currently evaluating the impact of the CARES Act, but we do not currently expect that the NOL carryback provision or increased interest deductibility of the CARES Act to result in a material cash benefit to us.
Risks Related to our Intellectual Property
We may be subject to risks related to the protection and enforcement of our intellectual property rights, or intellectual property we license from others, and may become subject to allegations that we or our licensors are in violation of intellectual property rights of third parties.
The ownership, licensing and protection of trademarks, patents and intellectual property rights are significant aspects of our future success. Unauthorized parties may attempt to replicate or otherwise obtain and use our products and technology. Policing the unauthorized use of our current or future trademarks, patents or other intellectual property rights now or in the future could be difficult, expensive, time consuming and unpredictable, as may be enforcing these rights against the unauthorized use by others. Identifying the unauthorized use of intellectual property rights is difficult as we may be unable to effectively monitor and evaluate the products being distributed by our competitors, including parties such as unlicensed dispensaries and black-market participants, and the processes used to produce such products. In addition, in any infringement proceeding, some or all of our trademarks, patents or other intellectual property rights or other proprietary know-how, and that which we license from others, or arrangements or agreements seeking to protect the same for our benefit, may be found invalid, unenforceable, anti-competitive or not infringed or may be interpreted narrowly and such proceeding could put existing intellectual property applications at risk of not being issued.
In addition, other parties may claim that our products, or those that we license from others, infringe on their proprietary or patent protected rights. Such claims, whether or not meritorious, may result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources and legal fees, result in injunctions or temporary restraining orders or require the payment of damages. As well, we may need to obtain licenses from third parties who allege that we have infringed on their lawful rights. Such licenses may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. In addition, we may not be able to obtain or utilize on terms that are favorable to us, or at all, licenses or other rights with respect to intellectual property that we do not own.
We also rely on certain trade secrets, technical know-how and proprietary information that are not protected by patents to maintain our competitive position. Our trade secrets, technical know-how and proprietary information, which are not protected by patents, may become known to or be independently developed by competitors, which could adversely affect us.
We license some intellectual property rights, and the failure of the owner of such intellectual property to properly maintain or enforce the intellectual property underlying such licenses could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and performance.
We are party to a number of licenses, including with entities formerly affiliated with the former Privateer Holdings, Inc. (“Privateer Holdings”) that give us rights to use third-party intellectual property that is necessary or useful to our business. Our success will depend, in part, on the ability of the licensor to maintain and enforce its licensed intellectual property, in particular, those intellectual property rights to which we have secured exclusive rights. Without protection for the intellectual property we have licensed, other companies might be able to offer substantially similar products for sale or utilize substantially similar processes, which could have a material adverse effect on us.
68
Any of our licensors may allege that we have breached our license agreement, whether with or without merit, and accordingly seek to terminate our license. If successful, this could result in our loss of the right to use the licensed intellectual property, which could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our products or services, as well as have a material adverse effect on us.
We may not realize the full benefit of the clinical trials or studies that we participate in because the terms of some of our agreements to participate do not give us full rights to the resulting intellectual property, the ability to acquire full rights to that intellectual property on commercially reasonable terms or the ability to prevent other parties from using that intellectual property.
Although we have participated in several clinical trials, we are not the sponsor of many of these trials and, as such, do not have full control over the design, conduct and terms of the trials. In some cases, for instance, we are only the provider of a cannabis study drug for a trial that is designed and initiated by an independent investigator within an academic institution. In such cases, we are often not able to acquire rights to all the intellectual property generated by the trials. Although the terms of all clinical trial agreements entered into by us provide us with, at a minimum, ownership of intellectual property relating directly to the study drug being trialed (e.g. intellectual property relating to use of the study drug), and ownership of intellectual property that does not relate directly to the study drug is often retained by the institution. As such, we are vulnerable to any dispute among the investigator, the institution and us with respect to classification and therefore ownership of any particular piece of intellectual property generated during the trial. Such a dispute may affect our ability to make full use of intellectual property generated by a clinical trial.
Where intellectual property generated by a trial is owned by the institution, we are often granted a right of first negotiation to obtain an exclusive license to such intellectual property. If we exercise such a right, there is a risk that the parties will fail to come to an agreement on the license, in which case such intellectual property may be licensed to other parties or commercialized by the institution.
We may not realize the full benefit of our licenses if the licensed material has less market appeal than expected, or if restrictions on packaging and marketing hinder our ability to realize value from our licenses, and our licenses may not be profitable to us.
An integral part of our Canadian adult-use cannabis business strategy involves obtaining territorially exclusive licenses to produce products using various brands and images. As a licensee of brand-based properties, we have no assurance that a particular brand or property will translate into a successful adult-use cannabis product. Additionally, a successful brand may not continue to be successful or maintain a high level of sales. As well, the popularity of licensed properties may not result in popular products or the success of the properties with the public. Promotion, packaging and labelling of adult-use cannabis is strictly regulated. These restrictions may further hinder our ability to benefit from our licenses. Acquiring or renewing licenses may require the payment of minimum guaranteed royalties that we consider to be too high to be profitable, which may result in losing licenses we currently hold when they become renewable under their terms or missing business opportunities for new licenses. If we are unable to acquire or maintain successful licenses on advantageous terms, or to derive sufficient revenue from sales of licensed products, our adult-use business may not be successful.
Risks Related to Ownership of Our Securities
The price of our Class 2 common stock in public markets has experienced and may experience severe fluctuations.
The market price for our Class 2 common stock, and the market price of stock of other companies operating in the cannabis industry, has been extremely volatile. For example, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the trading price of our Class 2 common stock ranged between a low sales price of $2.43 and a high sales price of $22.95 and included single day fluctuations as high as 64.13%. Additionally, during 2019, the trading price of our Class 2 common stock fluctuated between a low sales price of $15.57 and a high sales price of $106.00 per share. The market price of our Class 2 common stock may continue to be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following: (i) actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly results of operations; (ii) recommendations by securities research analysts; (iii) changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other issuers that investors deem comparable to us; (iv) the addition or departure of our executive officers or other key personnel; (v) the release or expiration of lock-up or other transfer restrictions on our common stock, such as release of 11 million Class 2 shares on April 3, 2020 and 19.5 million shares of Class 1 and Class 2 common stock on June 5, 2020, each associated with the Downstream Merger; (vi) sales or perceived sales, or the expectation of future sales, of our common stock; (vii) significant acquisitions or business combinations, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by or involving us or our competitors; and (viii) news reports relating to trends, concerns, technological or competitive developments, regulatory changes and other related issues in the cannabis industry or our target markets. See “COVID-19 has coincided with periods of significant volatility in financial, commodities and other markets, resulting in global recessionary conditions, which could adversely affect our business, future results of operations and financial condition.”
69
Future sales or distributions of our securities could cause the market price for our Class 2 common stock to fall significantly.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the market perception that the holders of a large number of shares of our Class 2 common stock intend to sell our Class 2 common stock, could significantly reduce the market price of our Class 2 common stock.
Pursuant to the Downstream Merger, former Privateer Holdings stockholders who received shares of our common stock in the Downstream Merger entered into a lock-up agreement. Each Privateer Holdings equity holder who received shares of our stock in the Downstream Merger is subject to a lock-up allowing for the sale of such shares only under certain circumstances over a two-year period. During the first year following the closing of the Downstream Merger, unless otherwise approved by us, shares will be released only pursuant to certain offerings or sales arranged by and at our discretion. We may also determine to release shares from the lock-up in the absence of an offering or arranged sale if we determine it to be in the Company’s best interest, and we may treat the release of such shares as permitted sales.
On April 3, 2020, we released 11 million shares of our Class 2 common stock, and on June 5, 2020, we released 19.5 million shares of our Class 1 and Class 2 common stock from the restrictions under the Downstream Merger lock-up agreement. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that sales of those released shares or any future public sales of our securities or the availability of these securities for sale will have on the market price of our Class 2 common stock. In aggregate, 30.5 million shares of Class 1 and Class 2 common stock have been released from the lock-up restrictions of the Downstream Merger, representing approximately 40.2% of the originally locked-up shares (including for purposes of such percentage calculation shares that remain subject to escrow and/or subject to outstanding assumed stock options). The Downstream Merger agreement requires at least 50% of the locked-up shares to be released by the one-year anniversary of the closing of the Downstream Merger (December 12, 2020), which is approximately 7 million shares (with permitted sales and previously released shares being credited towards and included in such 50%). The remaining 50% of the shares subject to the lock-up restrictions are required to be released on an equal quarterly basis over the following 12 months, unless we choose to release them on a more accelerated schedule. The release of the remaining portion of shares subject to the lock-up on the described schedule, or on a more accelerated basis, could put significant downward pricing pressure on our stock. If the market price of our Class 2 common stock were to drop as a result, this might impede our ability to raise additional capital and might cause our remaining stockholders to lose all or part of their investment.
The terms of our outstanding warrants may limit our ability to raise additional equity capital or pursue acquisitions, which may result in us having insufficient funds to operate our business and significant dilution to existing stockholders.
On March 13, 2020, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Canaccord Genuity LLC relating to the issuance and sale of 7,250,000 shares of our Class 2 common stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase 11,750,000 shares of our Class 2 common stock and accompanying warrants to purchase 19,000,000 shares of our Class 2 common stock at a price to the public of $4.76 per share for Class 2 common stock and accompanying warrant and $4.7599 per pre-funded warrant and accompanying warrant. The accompanying warrants, or the warrants, are not exercisable until six months after the date of issuance. The issuance of shares of our Class 2 common stock and exercise of the pre-funded warrants thereafter resulted in an issuance of 19,000,000 additional shares of Class 2 common stock.
The warrants contain a price protection, or anti-dilution feature, pursuant to which, the exercise price of such warrants will be reduced to the consideration paid for, or the exercise price or conversion price of, as the case may be, any newly issued securities issued at a discount to the original warrant exercise price of $5.95 per share. The anti-dilution feature was approved by our stockholders, and, therefore, the exercise price of the warrants may end up being lower than $5.95 per share, which could result in significant incremental dilution to existing stockholders.
Additionally, so long as the warrants remain outstanding, we may only issue up to $20 million in aggregate gross proceeds under our at-the-market offering program at prices less than the exercise price of the warrants, and in no event more than $6 million per quarter at prices below the exercise price of the warrants, without triggering the warrant’s anti-dilution feature described in the paragraph immediately above. If our stock price were to remain below the warrant exercise price of $5.95 per share for an extended time, we may be forced to lower the warrant exercise price at unfavorable terms in order to fund our ongoing operations. See “The cannabis industry continues to face significant funding challenges, and we may not be able to secure adequate or reliable sources of funding required to operate our business or increase our production to meet consumer demand for our products.”
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research, about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our Class 2 common stock depends, in part, on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. We do not have any control over these analysts. If one or more of the securities or industry analysts who cover us downgrade our stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price would likely decline. In addition, if our operating results fail to meet the forecast of analysts, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our stock could decrease, which might cause our stock price and trading volume to decline.
70
We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to settle conversions of the convertible notes in cash or to repurchase the convertible notes upon a fundamental change, and our future debt may contain limitations on our ability to pay cash upon conversion or repurchase of the convertible notes.
Holders of the convertible notes have the right to require us to repurchase their convertible notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the convertible notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. In addition, upon conversion of the convertible notes, unless we elect to deliver solely shares of our Class 2 common stock to settle such conversion (other than paying cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share), we will be required to make cash payments in respect of the convertible notes being converted. However, we may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain financing at the time we are required to make repurchases of convertible notes surrendered. In addition, our ability to repurchase the convertible notes or to pay cash upon conversions of the convertible notes may be limited by law, by regulatory authority or by agreements governing our future indebtedness. Our failure to repurchase convertible notes at a time when the repurchase is required by the indenture or to pay any cash payable on future conversions of the convertible notes as required by the indenture would constitute a default under the indenture. A default under the indenture or the fundamental change itself could also lead to a default under agreements governing our existing or future indebtedness. If the repayment of the related indebtedness
were to be accelerated after any applicable notice or grace periods, we may not have sufficient funds to repay the indebtedness and repurchase the convertible notes or make cash payments upon conversions thereof.
The conditional conversion feature of the convertible notes, if triggered, may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.
In the event the conditional conversion feature of the convertible notes is triggered, holders of convertible notes will be entitled to convert the convertible notes at any time during specified periods at their option. If one or more holders elect to convert their convertible notes, unless we elect to satisfy our conversion obligation by delivering solely shares of our Class 2 common stock (other than paying cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share), we would be required to settle a portion or all of our conversion obligation through the payment of cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity. In addition, even if holders of convertible notes do not elect to convert their convertible notes, we could be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the convertible notes as a current rather than long-term liability, which would result in a material reduction of our net working capital.
Our stockholders may be subject to dilution resulting from future offerings of common stock by us.
We may raise additional funds in the future by issuing common stock or equity-linked securities. Holders of our securities have no preemptive rights in connection with such further issuances. Our board of directors has the discretion to determine if an issuance of our capital stock is warranted, the price at which such issuance is to be effected and the other terms of any future issuance of capital stock. In addition, additional common stock will be issued by us in connection with the exercise of options or grant of other equity awards granted by us. Such additional equity issuances could, depending on the price at which such securities are issued, substantially dilute the interests of the holders of our existing securities.
Conversion of the convertible notes may dilute the ownership interest of our stockholders or may otherwise depress the price of our Class 2 common stock.
The conversion of some or all of the convertible notes may dilute the ownership interests of our stockholders. Upon conversion of the convertible notes, we have the option to pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of our Class 2 common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our Class 2 common stock. If we elect to settle our conversion obligation in shares of our Class 2 common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our Class 2 common stock, any sales in the public market of our Class 2 common stock issuable upon such conversion could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our Class 2 common stock. In addition, the existence of the convertible notes may encourage short selling by market participants because the conversion of the convertible notes could be used to satisfy short positions, or anticipated conversion of the convertible notes into shares of our Class 2 common stock could depress the price of our Class 2 common stock.
It is not anticipated that any dividends will be paid to holders of our Class 2 common stock for the foreseeable future, if ever.
No dividends on our Class 2 common stock have been paid to date. We anticipate that, for the foreseeable future, we will retain future earnings and other cash resources for the operation and development of our business. The payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account many factors, including our earnings, operating results, financial condition and current and anticipated cash needs. Further, our future ability to pay cash dividends on our Class 2 common stock is limited by the terms of the Senior Credit Facility and cannot be paid without the consent of Bridging Finance Inc., as well as any future debt or preferred securities.
71
Provisions in our corporate charter documents could make an acquisition of us more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.
Provisions in our corporate charter and our bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control of us that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our Class 2 common stock, thereby depressing the market price of our Class 2 common stock. In addition, these provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our board of directors. Because our board of directors is responsible for appointing the members of our management team, these provisions could in turn affect any attempt by our stockholders to replace current members of our management team. Among others, these provisions include the following:

Certain jurisdictions may take positions adverse to investments in, or investors themselves, in cannabis companies.
Certain jurisdictions may prohibit or restrict its citizens or residents from investing in or transacting with companies involved in the cannabis industry, even if such companies only conduct business in jurisdictions where cannabis is legal. For example, if an investor in the United Kingdom profits from an investment in a cannabis producer or supplier, such investment may technically violate the United Kingdom Proceeds of Crime Act 2002. Similar prohibitions or restrictions may apply in other jurisdictions where cannabis has not been legalized. In addition, such prohibitions and restriction may limit your ability to receive dividends if such dividends were to be declared in the future. However, no dividends on our Class 2 common stock have been paid to date and we do not anticipate that, for the foreseeable future, we will pay cash dividends on our Class 2 common stock.
As a result of an investment in our securities, you could be prevented from entering the United States or become subject to a lifetime ban on entry into the United States.
United States Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) has confirmed that border agents may seek to permanently ban any foreign visitor who admits to working or investing in the cannabis industry, or admits to having used cannabis, even though adult-use cannabis is now legal in Canada. CBP confirmed that investing even in publicly-traded cannabis companies is considered facilitation of illicit drug trade under CBP policy. This policy is limited to citizens of foreign countries and not citizens of the United States. Therefore, as a result of an investment in our securities, if you are not a citizen of the United States, you could be prevented from entering the United States or could become subject to a lifetime ban on entry into the United States.
Certain provisions in the indenture governing the convertible notes may delay or prevent an otherwise beneficial takeover attempt of us.
Certain provisions in the indenture governing the convertible notes may make it more difficult or expensive for a third party to acquire us. For example, the indenture governing the convertible notes requires us to repurchase the convertible notes for cash upon the occurrence of a fundamental change and, in certain circumstances, to increase the relevant conversion rate for a holder that converts its convertible notes in connection with a make-whole fundamental change. A takeover of us may trigger the requirement that we repurchase the convertible notes and/or increase the conversion rate, which could make it more costly for a potential acquirer to engage in such takeover. Such additional costs may have the effect of delaying or preventing a takeover of us that would otherwise be beneficial to investors.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forums for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the exclusive forum for:

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation further provides that the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. This exclusive forum provision would not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. To the extent that any such claims may be based upon federal law claims, Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Furthermore, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
Our restated certificate of incorporation also provides that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock will be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to this choice of forum provision. It is possible that a court of law could rule that the choice of forum provision contained in our restated certificate of incorporation is inapplicable or unenforceable if it is challenged in a proceeding or otherwise.
These exclusive-forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and other employees. If a court were to find the exclusive-forum provision in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving the dispute in other jurisdictions, which could seriously harm our business.
