(“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 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.

Marketable Securities

 

Under the SH Acquisition partnership agreement, certain material events described therein require the approvalWe classify time deposits and other investments that have maturities of the Company, and, upon a Triggering Event, the Company has the ability to appoint twogreater than three months but less than one year as marketable securities. The fair value of the 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

Debtmarketable 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 the cumulative effect is reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity until realized. Upon sale, realized gain and losses are reported in net income. Debt securities are impaired when a declinebased on quoted market prices for publicly traded securities. Changes in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, the Company evaluates, among other factors, general market conditions, credit quality of debt instrument issuers, and the duration and extent to which the fair value is less than cost. Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge isare recorded in the statementsstatement of net loss and a new cost basis forcomprehensive loss, within the investment is established. The Company also evaluates whether there is a plan to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery. If neither of the conditions exist, then only the portion of the impairment loss attributable to credit loss is recorded in the statements of net loss and the remaining amount is recorded in other comprehensiveline, “Non-operating income (loss)(expense)”.

Long-term investments

Investments in equity securities of entities over which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest or significant influence are classified as an equity investment and 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 “measurement alternative”). In applying the measurement alternative, the Company performs a qualitative assessment on a quarterly basis and recognizes an impairment if there are sufficient indicators that the fair value of the equity investments are less than carrying values. Changes in value are recorded in the statement of net loss and comprehensive loss, within the line, “Non-operating income (expense)”.

5

Investments in entities over which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest but has significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method, with the Company’s share of earnings or losses reported in earnings or losses from equity method investments on the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss. Equity method investments are recorded at cost, plus the Company’s share of undistributed earnings or losses, and impairment, if any, within “Interest in equity investees” on the balance sheets. The Company assesses investments in equity 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 carrying value of the investment, the Company will assess if the shortfall is other than temporary (OTTI). Evidence of a loss 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 made that an OTTI exists, the investment is written down to its fair value in accordance with ASC 820 at the reporting date, which establishes a new cost basis.

Convertible notes receivable

Convertible notes receivables include various investments in which the Company has the right, or potential right to convert the indenture into common stock shares of the investee and are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses during the year, net of the related tax effect, are excluded from income and reflected in other comprehensive income (loss), and the cumulative effect is reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity until realized. We use judgement to assess convertible notes receivables for impairment at each measurement date. Convertible notes receivables are impaired when a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss and a new cost basis for the investment is established. We also evaluate whether there is a plan to sell the security, or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery. If neither of the conditions exist, then only the portion of the impairment loss attributable to credit loss is recorded in the statements of net loss and the remaining amount is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss).

Earnings (loss) per share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing reported net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing reported net income (loss) by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares and the number of dilutive potential 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, warrants and RSUs and the incremental shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible debentures payable and similar instruments.

In computing diluted earnings (loss) per share, common share equivalents are not considered in periods in which a net loss is reported, as the inclusion of the common share equivalents would be anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended November 30, 2022, the dilutive potential common share equivalents outstanding consist of the following: 16,884,493 common shares from RSUs, 4,674,512 common shares from share options, 6,209,000 common shares from warrants and 23,981,704 common shares from convertible debentures payable.

Revenue

On July 12, 2022, the Company and HEXO entered into various commercial transaction agreements, as described in Note 24 (Segment reporting), which includes an advisory services arrangement.  Revenue is recognized as the advisory services are provided to HEXO. Payments received for the services in advance of performance are recognized as a contract liability.

Revenue is recognized when the control of the promised goods or services, through performance obligation, is transferred/provided to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for the performance obligations.

Excise taxes remitted to tax authorities are government-imposed excise taxes on cannabis and beer. Excise taxes are recorded as a reduction of sales in net revenue in the consolidated statements of operations and recognized as a current liability within accounts payable and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, with the liability subsequently reduced when the taxes are remitted to the tax authority.

In addition, amounts disclosed as net revenue are net of excise taxes, sales tax, duty tax, allowances, discounts and rebates.


6

In determining the transaction price for the sale of goods or service, the Company considers the effects of variable consideration and the existence of significant financing components, if any.

Some contracts for the sale of goods or services may provide customers with a right of return, volume discount, bonuses for volume/quality achievement, or sales allowance. In addition, the Company may provide in certain circumstances, a retrospective price reduction to a customer based primarily on inventory movement. These items give rise to variable consideration. The Company uses the expected value method to estimate the variable consideration because this method best predicts the amount of variable consideration to which the Company will be entitled. The Company uses historical evidence, current information and forecasts to estimate the variable consideration. The Company reduces revenue and recognizes a contract liability equal to the amount expected to be refunded to the customer in the form of a future rebate or credit for a retrospective price reduction, representing its obligation to return the customer’s consideration. The estimate is updated at each reporting period date.

Revenue for the Company would have been higher by approximately $6,000 and $12,000 for the three and six months ended November 30, 2022, if the acquisition had taken place on June 1, 2022. Net loss and comprehensive net loss would have increased by approximately $1,500 and $3,000 for the three and six months ended November 30, 2022, if the acquisition had taken place on June 1, 2022, primarily as a result of amortization of the intangible assets acquired.

On November 7, 2022, Tilray acquired 100% ownership of Montauk Brewing Company, Inc. ("Montauk"), a leading craft brewer in Metro New York located in Montauk, New York (the “Montauk Acquisition”). As consideration for the Montauk Acquisition, the Company paid an initial purchase price in an aggregate amount equal to $35,110, which consisted of cash consideration of $28,688 and stock consideration of $6,422 through the issuance of 1,708,521 shares of Tilray's Class 2 common stock. In the event that Montauk achieves certain volume and/or EBITDA targets on or before December 31, 2025, the stockholders of Montauk shall be eligible to receive additional contingent cash consideration of up to $18,000. The Company determined that the closing date fair value of this contingent consideration was $10,245.

The Company is in the process of assessing the fair value of the net assets acquired and, as a result, the fair value of the net assets acquired may be subject to adjustments pending completion of final valuations and post-closing adjustments. The table below summarizes preliminary estimated fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the effective acquisition date.

During the six months ended November 30, 2022, the Company acquired a secured convertible note initially issued by HEXO Corp. ("HEXO") in the principal amount of $173,700 for an aggregate purchase price of $157,272 (the "HEXO Convertible Note").

The unrealized loss on convertible notes receivable recognized in other comprehensive income amounts to $(17,643) and $(20,168) and $(16,305) and $(16,954) for the three and six months ended November 30, 2022 and November 30, 2021 respectively. The Company recognized interest income which is included as part of the convertible debentures in the amount of $3,514 and $7,006 for the three and six months ended November 30, 2022

HEXO Corp. ("HEXO")

On July 12, 2022, the Company closed a strategic alliance with HEXO, pursuant to which the Company acquired the HEXO Convertible Note from HT Investments MA LLC (“HTI”). At the time of closing, the HEXO Convertible Note had a principal balance of $173,700, which is to be repaid and or redeemed at 110% of the outstanding principal balance. The purchase price paid to HTI for the HEXO Convertible Note was $157,272. The purchase price paid to HTI was satisfied by Tilray's issuance of (i) a newly-issued $50,000 convertible promissory note ("HTI Convertible Note") see Note 12 (Convertible debentures payable) and (ii) the remaining balance was paid through the issuance of 33,314,412 shares of Tilray's Class 2 common stock, par value $0.0001 (collectively, the “HTI Share Consideration”). The HEXO Convertible Note bears interest at a rate of 5.0% per annum, calculated daily, which is payable to Tilray on a semi-annual basis. Interest payments made under the HEXO Convertible Note will be made in the form of cash until July 12, 2023. The HEXO Convertible Note has a maturity date of May 1, 2026. Subject to certain limitations and adjustments, the HEXO Convertible Note is convertible into HEXO Common Shares at Tilray's option at any time prior to the second scheduled trading day prior to the maturity date, at a conversion price of CAD$0.40 per HEXO Common share as determined the day before exercise, including all capitalized interest. HEXO has the ability to force the conversion if the daily VWAP per common share is equal to or exceeds $3.00 per share for twenty consecutive trading days. Under the HEXO Convertible Note, the Company holds a first-priority security interest on substantially all of HEXO’s assets. In the event of a default on the HEXO Convertible Note, the Company would be entitled to exercise its rights as a secured creditor, and the Note would become redeemable at 115% of the outstanding principal balance.

All third-party transaction costs associated with the acquisition of these notes were reimbursed by HEXO. During the three and six months ended November 30, 2022, in connection with the HEXO Convertible Note, the Company recognized interest income of $2,172 and $3,378, and an unrealized loss on convertible notes receivable in other comprehensive income of $13,425 and $8,847 respectively.

The HTI Share Consideration included a purchase price derivative, where the consideration paid is adjusted based on the sum of the VWAP of the Company's common stock for the 44 trading days after the issuance of the shares. The purchase price derivative is settled through the issuance of additional shares of the Company if the share price declined, or a cash payment back to the Company if the share price increased over the applicable period. On issuance this was valued at $nil. The subsequent change in fair value resulted in a gain of $18,256 due to the share price increasing, which was recorded in Transaction (income) costs, and was collected in cash by the Company during the period ended November 30, 2022.

The fair value of the HEXO Convertible Note was determined using the Black-Scholes model using the following assumptions: the risk-free rate of 3.50%; expected life of the convertible note; volatility of 90% based on comparable companies; forfeiture rate of nil; dividend yield of nil and the exercise price of the respective conversion feature.

Concurrent with the aforementioned purchase of the HEXO Convertible Note, the Company and HEXO also entered into various commercial transaction agreements as described in Note 1, the Company is within the measurement period of the business acquisition. As of November 30, 2021, the fair values of assets and liabilities acquired have been prepared on a provisional basis and are subject to further adjustments as the Company completes its analysis. The Company will finalize the amounts recognized by April 30, 2022. The fair value adjustments made during the three and six months ended November 30, 2021 are not significant and are reflected in the table below:24 (Segment reporting).

As of November 30, 2022 and May 31, 2022, there were 6,209,000 warrants outstanding and 6,209,000 warrants outstanding respectively, with an original exercise price of $5.95 per warrant, expiring March 17, 2025. Each warrant is exercisable for one common share of the Company.

The warrants contain anti-dilution price protection features, which adjust the exercise price of the warrants if the Company subsequently issues common stock at a price lower than the exercise price of the warrants. In the event additional warrants or convertible debt are issued with a lower and/or variable exercise price, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted accordingly. During the quarter ended November 30, 2022, the Company issued shares which triggered the anti-dilution price protection feature lowering the exercise price to $3.15. These warrants are classified as liabilities as they 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 affect a cashless exercise, and be issued exempt securities in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the 1933 Act. In the event the Company does not maintain an effective registration statement, the Company may be required to pay a daily cash penalty equal to 1% of the number of shares of common stock due to be issued multiplied by any trading price of the common stock between the exercise date and the share delivery date, as selected by the holder. Alternatively, the Company may deliver registered common stock purchased by the Company in the open market. The Company may also be required to pay cash if it does not have sufficient authorized shares to deliver to the holders upon exercise.

The Company estimated the fair value of the Warrantwarrant liability at  November 30, 20212022 at $6.51$2.04 per warrant using the Black-ScholesBlack Scholes pricing model (Level 3)3) with the following weighted-average assumptions:assumptions: Risk-free interest rate of 3.59%, expected volatility of 70%, expected term of 3.05 years, strike price of $3.15 and fair value of common stock of $3.87.

Expected volatility is based on both historical and implied volatility of the Company’s common stock.

Note 17. Income taxes

 

Note 16. Income Taxes

The determination of the Company’s overall effective tax rate requires significant judgment, the use of estimates, and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. The effective tax rate reflects the income earned and taxed in various United States federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions. Tax law changes, increases and decreases in temporary and permanent differences between book and tax items, valuation allowances against the deferred tax assets, stock-based compensation, and the Company’s change in income in each jurisdiction all affect the overall effective tax rate. It is the Company’s practice to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

The Company reported income tax benefitrecovery of $(11,713) and expense of $(4,502) for the three and six months ended November 30, 2022 and income tax recovery of $(5,671) and $(909) for the three and six months ended November 30, 2021 and income tax benefit of $(14,192) and $(20,017) for the three and six months ended November 30, 2020.. The income tax expense (benefit) in the current period varies from the US statutory income tax rate and prior period primarily due to the geographical mix of earnings and losses with no tax benefit resulting from valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions.jurisdictions.

On March 4, 2020, the Delaware Court of Chancery entered an order consolidating the two cases and designating the complaint in the Braun/Noorian action as the operative complaint. The operative complaint asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty against Brendan Kennedy, Christian Groh, Michael Blue, and Privateer Evolution, LLC (the “Privateer Defendants”) for alleged breaches of fiduciary dutyin their alleged capacities as Tilray’s controlling stockholders and against Kennedy, Maryscott Greenwood, and Michael Auerbach for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties in their capacities as directors and/or officers of Tilray in connection with the prior merger of Privateer Holdings, Inc. with and into a wholly owned subsidiary (the “Downstream Merger”). The complaint alleges that the Privateer Defendants breached their fiduciary duties by causing Tilray to enter into the Downstream Merger and Tilray’s Board to approve that Downstream Merger, and that Defendants Kennedy, Greenwood, and Auerbach breached their fiduciary duties as directors by approving the Downstream Merger. 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.

 

Legal proceedingsIn August 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors established a Special Litigation Committee (the “SLC”) of independent directors to re-assert director control and investigate the derivative claims in this litigation matter. The SLC has appointed the law firm Wilson Sonsini to assist the SLC with an ongoing investigation of the underlying claim and determine whether continued prosecution of such claims is in the best interests of the Company. The SLC has successfully moved to have the Plaintiff’s discovery stayed during their investigation.

On May 27, 2022, the SLC informed the Court that it had completed its investigation; determined not to seek dismissal of the Action; and confirmed its determination that the Company had suffered significant damages and that the SLC would pursue claims to recover appropriate amounts for the Company's benefit. Thereafter, the SLC, all of the Defendants, and certain non-parties participated in two mediation sessions before former Chancellor of the Delaware Court of Chancery Andre G. Bouchard on June 27 and July 14, 2022.

On July 15, 2022, the SLC reached an agreement in principle with the Defendants and certain of the non-parties, and their respective insurers, to resolve the claims asserted in the Action in exchange for an aggregate amount of $26.9 million to be paid to Tilray plus mutual releases. The SLC subsequently reached a further agreement with an additional non-party and plaintiffs to settle the entire Action. On December 20, 2022, the parties submitted to the Delaware Court of Chancery a Stipulation and Agreement of Compromise, Settlement, and Release ("Settlement Stipulation") which provides for, among other things, an aggregate cash amount of $39.9 million to be paid to Tilray and mutual releases. The Settlement is subject to approval by the Delaware Court of Chancery, which has scheduled a hearing for February 27, 2023. Tilray stockholders will not receive any direct payment from the Settlement Stipulation.

Authentic Brands Group Related Class Action (New York, United States)

On May 4, 2020, Ganesh Kasilingam filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (“SDNY”), against Tilray Brands, 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) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Kasilingam litigation”). 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 plaintiff 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, SDNY 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, which asserts the same Sections 10(b) and 20(a) claims against the same defendants on largely the same theory, and includes new allegations that Tilray’s reported inventory, cost of sales, and gross margins in its financial reports during the class period were false and misleading because Tilray improperly recorded unsellable “trim” as inventory and understated the cost of sales for its products.

On September 27, 2021, the U.S. District Court entered an Opinion & Order granting the Defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint in the Kasilingam litigation. On December 3, 2021, the lead plaintiff filed a second amended complaint alleging similar claims against Tilray and Brendan Kennedy. The defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint on February 2, 2022. On September 28, 2022, the Court granted in part and denied in part the defendants’ motion to dismiss the second amended complaint. On October 12, 2022, the Company filed a motion for reconsideration and/or interlocutory appeal of this Court decision. The Company isstill believes the claims are without merit and mayintends to defend vigorously against them, but there can be no assurances as to the outcome.

Aphria Inc. Securities Litigation (New York, United States)

On December 5, 2018, a defendantputative securities class action was commenced in lawsuits from timeSDNY against a number of defendants including Aphria and certain current and former officers and directors. The action claims that the defendants misrepresented the value of three cannabis-producing properties Aphria acquired in Jamaica, Colombia, and Argentina (the “LATAM Assets”). On December 3, 2018, two notorious short-sellers issued a report about the acquisitions, claiming the LATAM Assets were non-functional or non-existent, which allegedly caused Aphria’s stock price to timefall. On April 15, 2019, Aphria took impairment charges on the LATAM Assets, which also allegedly caused Aphria’s stock price to decline. The putative class action claims that Aphria artificially inflated the price of its publicly-traded stock by making false statements about the LATAM Assets, and when the purported truth was revealed by a short-seller report and write-down, the stock price declined, harming investors.

On September 30, 2020, the Court denied the motion to dismiss the complaint as to Aphria, Vic Neufeld, and Carl Merton, and granted the motion as to Cole Cacciavillani, John Cervini, Andrew DeFrancesco, and SOL Global Investments. On October 1, 2020, Plaintiffs moved for reconsideration of the order dismissing DeFrancesco and SOL or, in the normal coursealternative, to amend their complaint. On October 14, 2020, Aphria, Neufeld, and Merton moved for reconsideration 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.order denying their motion to dismiss.

 


20

On September 29, 2021, the U.S. District Court issued an Order that (i) permitted the plaintiffs to amend their lawsuit to revive the claims against Andy DeFrancecso; and (ii) declined to revisit his decision that claims could proceed against Aphria/Tilray, Vic Neufeld, and Carl Merton. Plaintiffs declined to amend their complaint, however, and so the action is proceeding solely against Aphria/Tilray, Neufeld, and Merton. On December 5, 2022, the parties engaged in a mediation session with an independent mediator. However, no settlement agreement was reached.

 

It is too early to determine any potential damages from this proceeding. The Company and the individual defendants believe the claims are without merit, and intend to vigorously defend against the claims, but there can be no assurances as to the outcome.

LATAM and Nuuvera Class Actions and Individual Actions (Canada)

On January 29, 2018, Aphria announced the acquisition of Nuuvera Inc. On July 17, 2018, Aphria announced a planned expansion into Latin America and the Caribbean with the acquisition of LATAM Holdings Inc. The following class actions and four individual proceedings have been commenced in Canada against Aphria and several current or former officers relating to the Nuuvera and LATAM transactions:

(i) a proposed class action (the "Vecchio Action") commenced in the Ontario Superior Court in February 2019, and amended thereafter, alleging statutory and common law misrepresentations and oppression relating to the Nuuvera and LATAM transactions. The Vecchio Action names Aphria, Merton, Neufeld, Cacciavillani and 5 underwriters as defendants;

(ii) four individual actions (the "Individual Actions") commenced by Wan, Bergerson, Landry, and Profinsys in the Ontario Superior Court alleging statutory and common law misrepresentations relating to the LATAM and Nuuvera transactions. The Individual Actions name Aphria, Merton, Neufeld, and Cacciavillani as defendants.

In the Vecchio Action a motion for certification and leave was heard. For Reasons for Decision released August 6, 2021, and with the consent of Aphria and the individually named Defendants, the Court granted leave to proceed with the secondary market statutory cause of action, and certified the Action on behalf of a defined class of purchasers. Also, on consent, the Court dismissed the claims of oppression and common law misrepresentation against Aphria and the individual defendants, as well as all claims against Carl Merton. The Court granted certification of the primary market statutory cause of action against all remaining Defendants but made it conditional on a successful motion by the Plaintiff to have the Court appoint a second Plaintiff for that aspect of the Claim. The defendant underwriters are appealing one term of that final aspect of the Court's decision. We continue to believe that these claims are without merit and plan to vigorously defend against this action.

Docklight Litigation

On November 5, 2021 Docklight Brands, Inc. (“Docklight”) filed a complaint against the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, High Park Holdings, Ltd. (“High Park”) in Superior Court of the State of Washington, King County. Docklight claimed breach of contract against High Park arising from a 2018 license agreement pursuant to which Docklight licensed certain Bob Marley-related brands to High Park (as amended in 2020 and 2021, the “High Park License”). In addition, Docklight brought a negligent misrepresentation claim against Tilray, alleging that certain individuals at Tilray or Aphria had made false statements to Docklight in order to induce Docklight to waive Docklight’s alleged right to terminate the High Park License for change-of-control on the basis of the 2021 Tilray-Aphria Arrangement Agreement. Docklight seeks injunctive relief as well as unspecified damages. On December 17, 2021, Defendants removed the case to the United States District Court, Federal District of Washington.  Defendants’ answer to the complaint was timely filed by January 21, 2022, and discovery in this litigation matter is ongoing. Tilray and High Park continue to believe that the claims are without merit and we intend to continue to vigorously defend the Docklight suit.

Fair value measurements

Financial instruments

The Company has classified its financial instruments as described in Note 3Significant accounting policies in our Annual Report.Financial Statements.

 

The carrying values of accounts receivable, bank indebtedness and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short periods to maturity.

At November 30, 20212022 the Company’sCompany had long-term debt of $18,305 (May$nil ( May 31, 20212022 - $20,358) is subject to fixed interest rates. The Company’s long-term debt is valued based on discounting the future cash outflows associated with the long-term debt. The discount rate is based on the incremental premium above market rates for Governmentthe U.S. Department of Canadathe Treasury securities of similar duration. In each period thereafter, the incremental premium is held constant while the GovernmentU.S. Department of Canadathe Treasury security is based on the then current market value to derive the discount rate.

TheCompany’s financial assets and liabilities required to be measured on a recurring basis are its equity investments measured at fair value, debt securities classified as available-for-sale, acquisition-related contingent consideration, and warrant liability.

Convertible notes receivable, and equity investments are recorded at fair value. The estimated fair value is determined using quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations or discounted cash flows and is classified as Level 2. Certain equity investments recorded at fair value have quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and are classified as Level 1.

Debt securities classified as available-for sale are recorded at fair value. The estimated fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and is classified as Level 3. The Company classified these securities as level 2 in the period of acquisition, when the valuation was determined to reflect the recent market transaction.

The warrants associated with the warrant liability are classified as Level 3 derivatives. Consequently, the estimated fair value of the warrant liability is determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. Until the warrants are exercised, expire, or other facts and circumstances lead the warrant liability to be reclassified to stockholders’ equity, the warrant liability (which relates to warrants to purchase shares of common stock) is marked-to-market each reporting period with the change in fair value recorded in change in fair value of warrant liability. Any significant adjustments to the unobservable inputs disclosed in the table below would have a direct impact on the fair value of the warrant liability.

The contingent consideration from the acquisition of SweetWater, first due in December 2023 and payable in cash, is determined by discounting future expected cash outflows at a discount rate of 5%, and probability of achievement of 25%. The unobservable inputs into the future expected cash outflows areresult in a fair value measurement classified as Level 3.

The contingent consideration from the acquisition of Montauk, due in December 2025 and payable in cash, is determined by discounting future expected cash outflows at a discount rate of 11.4%, and probability of achievement of 80%.The unobservable inputs into the future expected cash outflows result in a fair value measurement classified as Level 3.

24

The APHA24 Convertible debentures payable are recorded at fair value. The estimated fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and is classified as Level 3.

The balances of assets and liabilities categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy measured at fair value on a recurring basis are reconciled, as follows:

Items measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis

The Company's 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.

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and 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 considers its cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities as capital.

Segment reporting

Note 24.Segment reporting

Information reported to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance focuses on the nature of the operations. The Company operates in 4 reporting segments. 1)four reportable segments: (1) cannabis operations, which encompasses the production, distribution, sale, co-manufacturing and saleadvisory services of both medical and adult-use cannabis, 2)(2) beverage alcohol operations, which encompasses the production, marketing and sale of beverage alcohol products, 3)(3) distribution operations, which encompasses the purchase and resale of pharmaceuticals products to customers, and 4)(4) wellness products, which encompasses hemp foods and cannabidiol (“CBD”) products. This structure is in line with how our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) assesses our performance and allocates resources.

Operating segments have not been aggregated and no asset information is provided for the segments because the Company’s CODM does not receive asset information by segment on a regular basis. While the Company reported “business under development” as a fifth segment in its previous Annual Report, management determined that this no longer met the definition of a reporting segment.

Trends and Other Factors Affecting Our Business

Market Dynamics.

OurCanadian cannabis business reporting segment operatesmarket trends:

The cannabis industry in an industry that is still in itsCanada continues to evolve at a rapid pace during the early stages of development. In Canada,periods following the industry celebrated its third yearfederal legalization of adult-use legalization in October 2021. As the industry continues to mature, there are a numbercannabis. Through analysis of new 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 dynamicsconditions, the following key trends have emerged and are anticipated to influence the Company’s cost advantages, the Company adjusted its focus to be more price competitivenear-term future in the value, mainstreamindustry:

-

Price compression. We have historically seen price compression in the market, when compared to the prior fiscal year, which was driven by intense competition from the approximately 1,000 Licensed Producers in Canada. However, the Company believes that a floor on pricing has begun to stabilize in all categories excluding vapes;

-

Excise taxes. Given the impacts of this price compression, excise tax has grown to become a larger component of net revenue as it is predominantly computed on grams sold rather than as a percentage of the selling price. The Cannabis Council of Canada has formed an Excise Task Force to present these challenges to the Ministry of Finance in Canada and continues to pursue reform. Additionally, as many as two-thirds of Canadian licensed producers had excise tax deficits owed, which they were unable to pay on time. The Company believes this will be a key element of potential consolidation in the industry and we believe long term there is a possibility of some level of reform but it will likely not occur in the next 12 months;

-

Market share. Tilray continues to maintain its market leadership position in Canada. However, we experienced a minor decline from 8.5% to an 8.3% market share, from the immediately preceding quarter, as reported by Hifyre data for all provinces excluding Quebec where Weedcrawler was deemed more accurate. The Company increased market share in Ontario and Alberta, which were offset by a decrease in market share in Quebec. Our decline in Quebec was the result of our top two selling products being discontinued in the quarter, in the province's effort to manage the average selling price. The Company has already submitted new product listings with the control board of Quebec, and expects to recover its sales volume in the second half of the fiscal year. We believe with our current strategy in place we will continue to maintain a market leadership position; and

-

Change in potency preferences. Evolving consumer demand for higher potency products has caused a substantial shift in consumer purchasing patterns. We revised our flower strategy to remain innovative and evolve with the industry, launching a large volume of new beta flower strains in the current period which we expect to be listed in the provinces in the second half of the fiscal year to contend with this change in demand.

These identified trends have had impacts on the current period results of operations and premium plusare discussed in greater detail in the respective section. 

International cannabis 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.trends:


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)Czech Republic), 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 and the Russian conflict with Ukraine, cannabis legalization (both medicinal and adult-use) will continue to gain traction especially following actions of the Maltese and German governments.albeit more slowly than originally expected. We also continue to believe that Tilray remains uniquely positioned to winmaintain and gain significant market share in these markets with its infrastructure, being the only company withwhich is comprised of two EU-GMP cultivation facilities in two countries within Europe located in Portugal and Germany, our distribution network and our demonstrated commitment to the consistency,availability, quality and safety of our cannabinoid-based medical 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 possessioncontrolled dispensing of cannabis for adult use.adult-use consumption. In late October 2022, the German government published key details of its plan to legalize and regulate adult-use cannabis, including what Health Minister Karl Lauterbach described as “complete” cultivation within the country. Subsequently, Lauterbach announced that a first draft of the proposed regulations shall be issued in the first quarter of calendar year 2023, which will be evaluated by the European Union Commission in a formal notification procedure. We continue to believe that Tilray is well-positioned in Germany to provide consistent and sustainable cannabis products for the adult-use market whether only in-country cultivation is permitted or whether imports are also allowed given our Aphria RX facility located in Germany and our EU-GMP-certified production facility in Portugal.

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 2022is scheduled to start on January 30, 2023 to conduct scientific studies on the cannabis market and its impact on Swiss society.society and is the first trial for the legal distribution of adult-use cannabis containing THC in Europe.

Spain.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 wasSpanish Congress' Health Committee has recently created and will commence its work in early February 2022 onapproved a report leadingMedical Cannabis Report that paves the way for a government sponsoredgovernment-sponsored bill on medical cannabis. The Report explicitly opens the door to standardized preparations other than the drugs already approved, highlighting their advantages in relation to safety, security and stability; as well as the possibility to prescribe medical cannabis in community pharmacies and not only in hospitals, favoring the access to the patients that may need it.

France. France launched a two-year pilot experiment to supply approximately 3,000 patients with medical cannabis. To date, approximately 1,0002,300 patients are enrolled in the experiment.

United Kingdom. Medical cannabisexperiment, which has been extended for another year and is now ending March 2024 in order to collect more data and to adopt a legal inframework. The first results of the United Kingdom, however, there is a need to maximize both clinical research and patient benefit in a safe, cautious and ethical manner soexperimentation are positive. Several independent agencies have produced reports that those patients for whomshow the effectiveness of medical cannabis, is shownespecially in situations of chronic pain.

Czech Republic. The Czech Republic has discussed plans to be effective can access it. Currently,launch a new piecefully regulated adult-use cannabis market in first half of legislation iscalendar year 2023.

Malta: Malta has announced its intentions to launch the opening process for Cannabis Social Clubs 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.February 2023.

Acquisitions, Strategic Transactions and synergies.Synergies

We have grown, and expectstrive to continue to grow,expand our business on a consolidated basis, through a combination of organic growth and acquisition. While we continue to execute against our strategic initiatives that we believe will result in the long-term, sustainable growth and value to our stockholders, we alsocontinue to evaluate potential acquisitions and other strategic transactions of businesses that we believe complement our existing businessesportfolio, infrastructure and capabilities or provide us with the opportunity to enter attractive new geographic markets and/orand product categories as well as expand our productsexisting capabilities. In addition, we have exited certain businesses and continue to evaluate certain businesses within our portfolio that are dilutive to profitability and capabilities. Wecash flow. As a result, we incur transaction costs in connection with identifying and completing acquisitions and strategic transactions, as well as ongoing integration costs as we integratecombine acquired companies and seekcontinue to achieve synergies.synergies, which is offset by income generated in connection with the execution of these transactions. For the three and six months ended November 30, 2021,2022, we incurred $33.7$5.1 million of transaction costs.expenses and earned ($7.8) million of transaction income, discussed further below.

Our acquisition and wind down strategy has had a profound impact on the Company’s results in the current quarter and we expect will continue to persist into future periods generating accretive impacts for our stockholders. There are currently three primary cost saving initiatives as follows:

Tilray and HEXO strategic alliance:

On July 12, 2022, Tilray acquired the HEXO Convertible Note from HTI and entered into a strategic alliance with HEXO Corp. (“HEXO”) as discussed in Note 7 (Convertible notes receivable) and Note 12 (Convertible debentures payable). In addition, Tilray and HEXO entered into various commercial transaction agreements, including (i) an advisory services agreement regarding Tilray’s provision of advisory services to HEXO in exchange for an $18 million annual advisory fee payable to Tilray; (ii) a co-manufacturing agreement providing for third-party manufacturing services between the parties and setting forth the terms of Tilray’s international bulk supply to HEXO; and (iii) a procurement and cost savings agreement for shared savings related to specified optimization activities, procurement, and other similar cost savings realized by the parties as a result of the foregoing commercial arrangements. 

Through this strategic alliance, Tilray expects to achieve substantial cash savings and production efficiencies. In the three and six months ended November 30, 2022, the Company recognized $7.9 million and $15.7 million of advisory services revenue included in Canadian adult-use cannabis revenue. Included in interest expense, net is $2.2 and $3.4 million of interest income for the three and six months ended November 30, 2022. The Company expects to earn approximately $40 million during the first 12 month period in connection with the HEXO Convertible Note, to be reported as $31 million of adult-use cannabis revenue and $9 million of interest income.

Cannabis business cost reduction plan:

During our fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended May 31, 2022, the Company launched a $30 million cost optimization plan of our existing cannabis business to solidify our position as an industry leading low-cost producer. The Company took decisive action to manage cash flow amid an evolving retail environment by identifying opportunities to leverage technology, supply chain, procurement, and packaging efficiencies while driving labor savings. In the current period ended November 30, 2022, we have achieved $19.6 million of our cost optimization plan on an annualized run-rate basis of which $6.3 million represented actual cost savings during the period. The amount achieved is comprised of the following items:

-

Optimizing cultivation. We made impactful strides to right-size our cultivation footprint by maximizing our yield per plant and by honing the ability to flex production during optimal growing seasons to manage our cost to grow.

-

Refining selling fees. We assessed our current product-to-market strategy to optimize our direct and controllable selling fees as a percentage of revenue without compromising our sales strategy on a go-forward basis.

-

Reducing general and administrative costs. We remain focused on reducing operating expenses by leveraging innovative solutions to maintain a lean organization. We plan to further automate processes, reducing outside spend where efficient, and ensuring we are obtaining competitive pricing on our administrative services.


30

Tilray-Aphria Arrangement Agreement:

In connection with the Tilray-Aphria Arrangement Agreement, we committed to achieving at least $80 million, subsequently increased to $100 million, of synergies in connection with the integration of Tilray and Aphria and developed a robust plan and timeline to achieve such synergies. In connection with the development ofexecuting our integration plan, we evaluated and optimized the organizational structure, evaluated and retained the talent and capabilities we identified as necessary to achieve our longer-term growth plan and vision, evaluatedreviewed contracts and arrangements, and evaluatedanalyzed our supply chain and our strategic partnerships. DuringDue to the six months ended November 30, 2021,Company’s actions in connection with the integration of Tilray and Aphria, we have executed on a seriesexceeded the identified $80 million of synergistic actions which included:cost synergies and achieved such synergies ahead of our plan.

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 filing, we havethe Company achieved $70the remainder of the targeted $100 million in cost-savingscost-saving synergies on an annualized run-rate basis. While this milestone marks the completion of the Tilray and Aphria Arrangement Agreement synergy plan, the Company intends to continue to prioritize cost saving initiatives in the future while remaining committed to our growth plan and vision.

In additional to our cost saving strategies, the Company has also executed the following strategic transactions during the quarter:

Beverage Alcohol Acquisitions:

On November 7, 2022, Tilray acquired 100% ownership of Montauk Brewing Company, Inc. (“Montauk”), a run-rate basis and $36leading craft brewer company based in Montauk, New York.  As consideration for the acquisition of Montauk, the Company paid an initial purchase price in an aggregate amount equal to $35.1 million, which was satisfied through the payment of $28.7 million in actual cash-savings.cash and $6.4 million from the issuance of 1,708,521 shares of Tilray's Class 2 common stock. In the event that Montauk achieves certain volume and/or EBITDA targets on or before December 31, 2025, the stockholders of Montauk shall be eligible to receive as additional contingent cash consideration of up to $18 million. The Company, determined that the closing date fair value of this contingent consideration was $10.2 million. In connection with this transaction, the Company intends to leverage SweetWater’s existing nationwide infrastructure and Montauk’s northeast influence to significantly expand our distribution network and drive profitable growth in our beverage-alcohol segment. This distribution network is part of Tilray’s strategy to leverage our growing portfolio of CPG brands and ultimately to launch THC-based product adjacencies upon federal legalization in the U.S.

During

Strategic transactions related to facility closures and exits:

In connection with evaluating the six months ended November 30, 2021, we also executed on other strategic transactions, which completed after the endprofitability of our fiscalCC Pharma distribution business, Tilray decided to discontinue its partnership in a medical device reprocessing business given it was not core to CC Pharma's business and was both dilutive from a profitability and cash flow perspective. In connection with evaluating the profitability of our international cannabis business, Tilray also discontinued transactions with one of its customers in Israel as we focus on markets which we believe are more accretive to our profitability and cash flow. In addition, Tilray terminated its relationship with a supplier in Uruguay due to a breach of the underlying contract.

As a result of these strategic business decisions, there was an unfavorable impact on the current period results through the aggregate increase of net loss by $9.6 million in the quarter ended November 30, 2021 but before the filing of this Form 10-Q,2022, summarized as follows (Refer to Part I, Financial Information, Note 24 Subsequent Events):follows:

-

The acquisitionwe recognized a decrease in gross profit of Breckenridge Distillery,$4.2 million, which was composed of  $1.4 million from the above mentioned return from a leading distilled spirits brand locatedcustomer in Breckenridge, Colorado, widely known forIsrael and $2.8 million in inventory adjustments from the termination of our producer partnership in Uruguay due to a breach of the underlying contract;

-

there was an increase to office and general expenses of $3.2 million, which was composed of $1.6 million of exit costs from the termination of our producer partnership in Uruguay and $1.6 million of a bad debt expense related to the aforementioned customer in Israel; and

-

the Company recognized a $2.2 million loss on the write-off of capital assets as a result of CC pharma discontinuing 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 scalepartnership 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.

medical reprocessing business. 

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.

 

The Coronavirus ("COVID-19") Pandemic, Its Impact on Usimpacts of the items discussed in this section are assessed further in our analysis of the results of operations below.

Political and Economic Environment

 

We continuously addressOur results of operations can also be affected by economic, political, legislative, regulatory, legal actions, the effects ofglobal volatility and general market disruption resulting from the global COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical tensions, such as Russia's incursion into Ukraine. Economic conditions, such as recessionary trends, inflation, supply chain disruptions, interest and monetary exchange rates, and government fiscal policies, can have a significant effect on operations. Accordingly, we could be affected by civil, criminal, environmental, regulatory or administrative actions, claims or proceedings. For a discussion of which is available in sections entitled "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of Part I and “The Coronavirus ("COVID-19") Pandemic, Its Impact on Us” in Item 7 ofpossible adverse impacts to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2021.

During the three and six months ended November 30, 2021, our business operations experienced the following as result of the COVID-19 pandemic:


Our Canadian adult-use cannabis business continued to experience the effect of the changes in consumer demand that were established during the onset of COVID-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 patient demand. Our international cannabis business continued to experience delays from regulatory authorities overseeing access to medical cannabis in several European jurisdictions. In accessible markets, the access to physician practices remains limited due to protective measures in place throughout Germany, slowing down the adoption of cannabis as an innovative treatment option. Our distribution business experienced slight improvement in the global supply chain disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in a modest increase in net revenue in its base currency but due to the weakening ofpolitical and economic environment, please refer to Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors, "We may be negatively impacted by volatility in the US dollar against the Euro resulted in a decrease in sales from the prior year’s comparable period. Our beerpolitical and alcohol business continues to see a decline in on-premise business primarilyeconomic environment, such as the on-premise industry dealt with a lack of staffingcrisis in Ukraine, economic downturns and increases in interest rates, and a change demand pattern related to after work alcohol consumption. The continuedperiod of sustained inflation across the markets in which we operate could result in higher operating costs and may negatively 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 continue to navigate the changes with growth in ecommerce and “click + pickup” channels offsetting declines in traditional retailer channels as consumer shopping behaviors shift.financial performance."

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 local 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 assess our operations and will continue to consider 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 results of operations, financial condition and cash flows from operations.

Key Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Throughout this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we discuss non-GAAP financial measures, including reference to:

adjusted gross profit (excluding purchase price allocation (“PPA”) step up and inventory valuation allowance) for each reporting segment (Cannabis, Beverage alcohol, Distribution and Wellness),

adjusted gross margin (excluding purchase price allocation (“PPA”) step up and inventory valuation allowance) for each reporting segment (Cannabis, Beverage alcohol, Distribution and Wellness),

adjusted EBITDA, and

constant currency presentation of net revenue.

All these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, the financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, ("GAAP"). These measures, which may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies, are presented to help investors' overall understanding of our financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Please see "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Measures" below for reconciliation of such non-GAAP Measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, as well as a discussion of our adjusted gross margin, adjusted gross profit and adjusted EBITDA measures and the calculation of such measures.

Constant Currency Presentation

We believe that this measure provides useful information to investors because it provides transparency to underlying performance in our consolidated net sales by excluding the effect that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations have on period-to-period comparability given the volatility in foreign currency exchange markets. To present this information for historical periods, current period net sales for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar are translated into U.S. Dollars at the average monthly exchange rates in effect during the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year rather than at the actual average monthly exchange rate in effect during the current period of the current fiscal year. As a result, the foreign currency impact is equal to the current year results in local currencies multiplied by the change in average foreign currency exchange rate between the current fiscal period and the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.

Operating Metrics and Non-GAAP Measures

We use the following key operating metrics and non-GAAP measures 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 and non-GAAP measures 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%decreased to $7.9$6.4 million and 29% to $16.3$12.9 million for the three and six months ended November 30, 2021,2022, compared to revenue of $6.3$7.9 million and $12.6$16.3 million for the prior year same periods.

The increase is also due to new innovative product launches, including our new brand Symbios launched earlier in the year, to address unmet medical needs and 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 COVID-19 pandemic from patients unable or unwilling to see a doctor as well as increased competition from the adult-recadult-use recreational market and therelated price compression therein.compression.

Revenue from Canadian adult-use cannabis products: During the three and six months ended November 30, 2021,2022, our gross revenue from Canadian adult-use cannabis product products increased to $52.4 million and decreased 15% to $110.7 million compared to revenue of $49.5 million and $119.1 million for the prior year same periods. Due to the decline in the Canadian dollar, on a constant currency basis, our gross revenue from Canadian adult-use cannabis products increased 3% to $119.1$53.6 million and decreased to $114.1 million for the three and six months ended November 30, 2021 compared to revenue2022. Included in the current period results was the favorable impact of $58.2the recently executed HEXO arrangement which resulted in $7.9 million and $115.1$15.6 million of advisory services revenue for the three and six months ended November 30, 2022 that did not occur in the prior year same periods.Theperiod comparative. This increase was offset by the negative impacts of price compression and change in potency preferences for both the three and six months ended, as well as the challenges experienced in the province of Quebec which impacted the three month 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.period. 

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 57%decreased to $2.3$0.2 million and decreased 24% to $4.0$0.6 million for the three and six months ended November 30, 20212022, compared to revenue of $1.4$2.3 million and $5.2$4.0 million for the prior year same periods.periods which is consistent on a constant currency basis.

In Europe, we believe that, despite continuing COVID-19 pressure, cannabis legalization (both medicinal$9.5 million and adult-use) will continue to gain traction, especially following actions of$21.4 million from $13.7 million and $24.0 million in 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 theprior year same periods for three and six months ended November 30, 2021, we continued2022.

The decrease in revenue during both the three-months ended November 30, 2021 is primarilythree and six month periods was due to the impactdeterioration of changes in the exchange rate between the Euro and USD totalingagainst the U.S. Dollar, which when the impacts are eliminated on a $5.3 million reduction to the comparable prior period. Additionally, the decrease inconstant currency basis, revenue during the six-months ended November 30, 2021 was also the result of the negative 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 period of almost $5.0 million.

Adjusted gross profit is our Gross profit (excluding(adjusted to exclude inventory valuation adjustments)adjustment and purchase price accounting valuation step-up) and adjusted gross margin percentage (excludingis our Gross margin (adjusted to exclude inventory valuation adjustments)adjustment and purchase price accounting valuation step-up) and are non-GAAP financial measures. See Use of Non-GAAP Measures below for additional discussion regarding these non-GAAP measures. The Companys management believes that adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin are useful to our management to evaluate our business and operations, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, project our future performance, and make strategic decisions. We do not consider adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.

Cannabis gross margin: Gross margin decreasedincreased during the three and six months ended November 30, 20212022 to 37%& and 45% from 23% and 34% from 46% and 48% versusfor the prior year same periods, reflectingperiods. The three and six month increases in cannabis gross margin are primarily related to the addition of sales of Tilray brands that have higher costs to produce than our legacy brands and a non-cash inventory write downvaluation allowance that was recorded in the same periods of $12the prior year. Excluding this valuation allowance, adjusted gross margin during the three and six months ended November 30, 2022 decreased to 37% from 43% and increased to 45% from 43% when comparing the prior year same periods. The largest impact on the current period adjusted gross margin is the inclusion of the $7.9 million and $15.6 million of HEXO advisory fee revenue included in November 2021. Significant effortscannabis revenue for the three and six month periods. When this revenue is excluded from this computation, our adjusted cannabis gross margin would have been taken25% and 35% for the three and six month periods. During the three month period, the Company recognized a one-time return as discussed in the international cannabis revenue section that reduced our top line revenue as well as a one-time inventory disposals incurred as exit costs from both Israel and Uruguay for a combined impact of reducing gross profit by $4.2 million or gross margin by 8.2%. Specifically, the portion of the adjustment that related to reduceUruguay was $2.8 million of which this exit cost has been included in our adjusted EBITDA reconciliation under facility closure and exit costs. Further impacting the Company’s cultivation costs at its legacy Tilray Canadiandecrease in the adjusted gross cannabis margin is a shift in strategic priorities to focus on pursuing cash flow generating activities. The Company has made the business decision to lower production in our cannabis facilities including announcing the shutdownas a result 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 operationsslower than anticipated legalization globally. We will continue to workprioritize reductions in operational costs as we continue to optimize theassess additional potential 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.saving initiatives.

 


Distribution gross margin: Gross margin of 11%13% and 11% for the three and six months ended November 30, 2021 slightly decreased versus2022 increased from 11% and 11% the same periods in the prior year driven by increased costsyear. The increase in the three month period is attributed to a change in product mix as the Company’s primary source of products were unableCompany continues to ship during border closures and during periods of peak demand.focus on higher margin sales. On a six month basis, the gross margin has remained consistent. 

Beverage alcohol gross margin: Gross margin of 57%47% and 57%47% for the three and six months ended November 30, 2021 are2022 decreased from 57% and 57% from the same periods in line with our expectations. We did not operate in this segment until the final week of the second quarter of the prior year.

Wellness Adjusted gross margin:  Gross margin of 28%52% and 27%52% for the three and six months ended November 30, 2021 are in line with our expectations2022 decreased from 57% and consistent with the preceding fiscal quarter. We acquired the wellness business in the Arrangement and did not operate in this segment during57% from the same periods duringin the prior year. This decrease in beverage alcohol gross margin for both the three and six month periods is a result of the Breckenridge and Montauk acquisitions that were not completed in the prior period comparisons. Both companies operate at a slightly lower margin than Sweetwater, which contributed to the decrease. Additionally, Sweetwater has expanded operations in Colorado in the current period which has had negative impacts on the margin as it is still in the start-up phase.

Wellness gross margin: Gross margin of 31% and 28%for the three and six months ended November 30, 2022 increased from 28% and 27% from the same periods in the prior year. On a three month basis the wellness gross margin has increased as a result of increased sales prices on the Company's branded products to compensate for the inflationary impacts on our input materials. The company saw an increase in gross margin for the three month period to 31% from the 26% in the immediately preceding quarter as a result of this change in pricing strategy. On a six month basis gross margin remained relatively consistent period over period despite inflationary impacts.

Executive compensation decreasedincreased by 36% and 24% in the three months and increased the six months ended November 30, 2021.2022. The slight decrease in the three months compared to the prior periodmonth increase is primarily related to one-time changes in the overall compensation structure. The increase for the six month period compared to the prior period is primarily due to an increase in theincreased number of directors and executive level personnel on our board of directors and executive management team, respectively, and an increase in base salaries commensurate withemployees as well as more competitive compensation to reflect the increased complexity of our Company.the organization as it evolves. The six month increase is consistent with the three month increase.


 

Office and general increased by 80% and decreased by 17% during the three and six months ended November 30, 20212022. The increase in the three month period, was driven by necessary one-time exit costs incurred in our international cannabis business to terminate operations that were no longer accretive to our focus of being free cash flow positive. Specifically, there was $1.6 million of exit costs related to the termination of our producer partnership in Uruguay due to a breach of the underlying contract. This exit cost has been included in our adjusted EBITDA reconciliation under facility closure and exit costs. Additionally, $1.6 million of bad debt expenses were incurred in the period from the discontinuance of business with our aforementioned Israel customer. The Company took this necessary step in order to continue pursuing sustainable growth by focusing on areas of the business that generate positive cash flows. The six month decrease is primarily due to reporting SweetWater and Tilray for the periods andinclusion of the additional one-time costs associated with the upcoming closurerestructuring of our Nanaimo, facility.  Canada, facility in the prior year comparative offset by the items discussed in the three month increase.

 

Salaries and wages decreased inincreased by 25% and increased by 6% during the three months and increased the six months ended November 30, 2021. The slight decrease from the prior period is primarily related to one-time changes in the overall compensation structure.2022. The increase is primarily due to additions associated with new acquisitions fromthe inclusion of Breckenridge and Montauk employees who were not included in the prior year.period comparatives. The Company’s headcount increased toremained consistent with approximately 1,8001,750 employees as a result of the Arrangement compared to 1,0001,800 employees as of November 30, 2020.2021.

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $8.3$10.9 million and $17.7$20.1 million for the three and six months ended November 30, 20212022 compared to $5.5$8.3 million and $8.3 million$17.7 for the same periods in the prior year. The increasebalance has remained relatively consistent period over period as this is primarily due to increased number of employees and the accelerated vesting of certain of our stock-based compensation awards tied to the Arrangement. Stock options are valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model and represents a non-cash expense, restricted share units (“RSUs”) are valued based on the gradedtime based vesting and the grant date fair value.schedules. 

Insurance expenseexpenses decreased by 45% and 44% for the three and six months ended November 30, 20212022 to $2.7 million and $5.4 million from $5.0 million and $9.6 million from the same periods in the prior year. This item was a target of the Tilray-Aphria Arrangement Agreement synergies.

Loss on sale of capital assets increased due primarilyto $2.1 million and $2.2 million for the three and six months ended November 30, 2022 compared to $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the prior year same periods. The Company incurred $2.2 million of write-offs from the exit of our medical device reprocessing business in our distribution reporting segment. These one-time non-cash charges were a required exit cost as we determined this business venture was no longer accretive to our directorsfocus of being free cash flow positive. This exit cost has been included in our adjusted EBITDA reconciliation under facility closure and officers’ insurance policy. This increase reflects an increase in premium rates, as the Company continued with legacy Tilray’s rating history.exit costs. 

Selling costs

For the three months ended November 30, 2021,2022, the Company incurred selling costs of $9.2$9.7 million and $19.3 million or 5.9%6.7% and 6.5% of revenue as compared to $6.1$9.2 million and 4.2%$16.6 million and 5.9% and 5.1% of revenue in the prior year same period. For the six months ended November 30, 2021, the Company incurred selling costs of $16.6 million or 5.1% of revenue as compared to $11.9 million and 4.3% of revenue in the prior year same period.periods. These costs relate to third-party distributor commissions, shipping costs, Health Canada cannabis fees, and patient acquisition and maintenance costs. Patient acquisition and ongoing patient maintenance costs include funding to individual clinics to assist with additional costs incurred by clinics resulting from the education of patients using the Company’s products. The increase in selling costs as a percent of revenue in both the three and six-month periods resulted from incurred costshaving a portion of our selling fees with fixed components that did not decrease with the decline in our revenue during the quarter. Additionally, there are no selling fees associated with multiple distributors in the same location, which represent a duplicationour advisory fee revenue and thus there is no correlation between selling fees and this stream of costs that will be reduced upon achievement of synergies. The increase is mainly driven by the combination of legacy Tilray.revenue. 

Amortization

The Company incurred non-production related amortization charges of $29.0$24.0 million and $59.8$48.4 million for the three and six months ended November 30, 20212022 compared to $4.2$29.0 million and $8.3$59.8 million in the prior year same periods.period. The increasedecreased amortization in both the three and six month periods, is associated witha result of the amortization on the acquired definite lifereduced intangible assets from SweetWater and Tilray.asset levels.

 

Marketing and promotion costs

For the three and six months ended November 30, 2021,2022, the Company incurred marketing and promotion costs of $8.5 million and $15.8 million as compared to $7.1 million and $12.6 million as compared to $4.3 million and $9.2 million infor the prior year same periods. The increase is mainly drivena result of the continued focus of investing in our Canadian cannabis brands by prioritizing our retail partnerships through the combinationeducation of legacy Tilray.budtenders. Additionally, the prior year comparative did not include the marketing spend related to Breckenridge and Montauk, as they were acquired in the second quarter of the prior year.

Research and development

Research and development costs were $0.5$0.2 million and $1.3$0.3 million during the three and six months ended November 30, 20212022 compared to $0.2$0.5 million and $0.3$1.3 million in the prior year same periods.period.

Transaction (income) costs

Items classified as transaction (income) costs are non-recurring in nature and correspond largely to our acquisition, restructuring and synergy strategy. The three and six months decrease of 28% and 125% from the Company spends a significant amount on research and development, the majority of these costs remain in costs of sales, as the Company does not reclassify research and development costsprior year period is related to the cost of products consumed in research and development activities.following items:

Transaction

we incurred minimal transaction costs related to the Tilray-Aphria Arrangement Agreement in the current quarter, however, we do anticipate that there will continue to be additional costs associated with this transaction until the resolution of our lease termination for our Enniskillen facility and the restructuring of Nanaimo facility are completed;

the prior period comparatives included fees related to the MedMen transaction, which has been completed and thus there are no further expected costs to be incurred unless the Triggering Event arises;

the fees associated with amending our charter incurred in the three month period;

a non-reimbursed compensation payment of $5.0 million was made as a result of the HEXO transaction in the six month period;

partially offsetting the decrease in the period were the fees incurred for the Montauk acquisition in the current quarter which differed from the fees incurred for the Breckenridge acquisitions which occurred in the prior period comparative; and

we recognized a change in fair value of $18.3 million on the HTI Share Consideration's purchase price derivative as a result of an increase in our share price on the shares paid for the HEXO convertible note receivable Note 7 (Convertible notes receivable). This gain was payable to the Company from HTI and was collected in cash during the six month period. This gain offsets the aforementioned items in the six month period and contributes to the period over period decrease. The Company does not anticipate there to be additional transaction costs related to the HEXO transaction as it is complete at this time, however, should the Company pursue additional arrangements with HEXO than additional costs may be incurred.

The three month decrease is associated with the closing of the SweetWater acquisition in the prior period. This six month increase is associated with the solicitation of shareholder votes supporting an increase in the number of authorized common stock shares, transaction closing costs related to the Arrangement, the MM Transaction and the evaluation of other potential acquisitions and one-time litigation costs.

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) incomeloss 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 (income) costs, litigation 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 isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of Adjusted EBITDA is that it excludes certain expenses and income that are required by U.S. 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.


For the periodthree and six months ended November 30, 2021,2022 adjusted EBITDA increaseddecreased to $11.7 and $25.2 million compared to $13.8 million and $26.5 million from the prior year same periods. The decrease was primarily from favorable effects of new lines of business, offsetdriven by the inclusionaforementioned negative impacts to our cannabis gross margin, as well as the increase of legacy Tilray’s cannabis business, while we workbad debt expenses recognized in the period. The Company continues to achievefocus on being free cash flow positive as noted by our synergies plan, as follows:improved operating cash flow in the quarter despite this decrease in adjusted EBITDA in the current period.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, net loss. There are a number of limitations related to the use of Adjusted EBITDA as compared to net loss, the closest comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA adjusts for the following:

Non-cash inventory valuation adjustments;

CurrentNon-cash amortization and deferred income taxamortization expenses and, recoveries,although these are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future;

Stock-based compensation expenses, which couldhas been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense or recovery in our business in the future and reduce or increase cash available to us.an important part of our compensation strategy;

Non-cash impairment charges, as the charges are not expected to be a recurring business activity;

Interest expense and loss on disposal of property and equipment to reflect ongoing operating activities;

Non-cash foreign exchange gains or losses, which accounts for the effect of both realized and unrealized foreign exchange transactions. Unrealized gains or losses represent foreign exchange revaluation of foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities;

Non-cash change in fair value of warrant liability;

Interest expense, net;

Non-cash amortization and amortization expenses and, although these are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future;

Stock-based compensation expenses, which has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in our business and an important part of our compensation strategy;

Non-cash inventory valuation adjustments;

Non-cash loss from equity method investments;

Costs incurred to start up new facilities and/orsuch as Sweetwater Colorado, and to fund emerging market operations such as Malta and our German cultivation facilities;  

Costs incurred to close facilities in Nanaimo, Canadaor exit certain lines of business such as Uruguay and Enniskillen, Canada;our medical reprocessing distribution business;

Lease expense, to conform with competitors who report under IFRS;

Lease expense;Transaction (income) costs includes acquisition related income and expenses, which vary significantly by transactions and are excluded to evaluate ongoing operating results;

Litigation costs includes costs related to ongoing litigations, legal settlements and recoveries which are excluded to evaluate ongoing operating results;

Non-cashAmortization of purchase accounting step-up in inventory write down;value included in costs of sales - product costs; and

Current and deferred income tax expenses and recoveries, which could be a significant recurring expense or recovery in our business in the future and reduce or increase cash available to us.

Transaction costs associated with current and future business acquisitions.

Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin

Adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin are non-GAAP financial measures and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.  Adjusted gross profit is our Gross profit (adjusted to exclude inventory valulation adjustment and purchase price accounting valuation step-up) and adjusted gross margin is our Gross margin (adjusted to exclude inventory valulation adjustment and purchase price accounting valuation step-up) and are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company’s management believes that adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin are useful to our management to evaluate our business and operations, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, project our future performance, and make strategic decisions.  We do not consider adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin percentage in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.


 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We actively manage our cash and investments in order to internally fund operating needs, make scheduled interest and principal payments on our borrowings, and make acquisitions. On March 3, 2022, we entered into an at the market offering arrangement (the "ATM Program") pursuant to which we offered and sold our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $400 million. The ATM Program was intended to strengthen our balance sheet and improve our liquidity position and was utilized to offer and sell common stock having a total of $400 million for the period through November 30, 2022. The Company fully completed its sales of shares under the ATM Program. In addition, the Company may from time to time use excess cash to repurchase its outstanding convertible debentures payable in open market transactions. We believe that existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and cash generated by operations, together with received proceeds from the ATM Program and access to external sources of funds, will be sufficient to meet our domestic and foreign capital needs for a short and long term outlook. 

46

For the Company's short-term liquidity requirements, we are focused on generating positive cash flows from operations and being free cash flow positive.  As a result of delays in legalization across multiple markets, management continues to reduce operations, headcount as well as the elimination of other discretionary operational costs. Some of these actions may be less accretive to our adjusted EBITDA in the foreseeableshort term, however we believe that they will be required for our liquidity aspirations in the near term future.

For the Company's long-term liquidity requirements, we will be focused on funding operations through profitable organic and inorganic growth through acquisitions. We may need to take on additional debt or equity financing arrangements in order to achieve these ambitions on a long-term basis.

Cash flows from operating activities

The changeschange in net cash provided by operating activities was $29.2 million and the change in net cash used in operating activities during thewas ($17.1) million for three and six months ended November 30, 20212022 compared to ($17.1) million and ($110.3) million for the prior year same period isperiods. This increase in cash generated in the three and six month periods was primarily related to payments associated withimproved operating efficiencies realized through our synergy programs, increased management of our working capital requirements and the Arrangement, income taxes at Aphria Diamond and accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreases in$18.3 million of the period.  This net cash used in operating activities was positively impacted by reductions in inventory and collections of accounts receivable.collected from the HTI Share Consideration's purchase price derivative.

Cash flows from investing activities

The change in net cash used in investing activities was ($271.4) million and ($272.9) million for three and six months ended November 30, 2022 compared to ($6.9) million and ($15.6) million for the prior year same periods, and is a result of our purchase of $243.1 million of marketable securities and our acquisition of Montauk Brewing Company Note 6 (Goodwill) which did not occur in the first two fiscal quarters of 2022 as compared to the first two fiscal quarters of 2021 is primarily due to cash paid for the SweetWater acquisition in fiscal year 2021.comparative periods

Cash flows from financing activities

Cash

The change in cash used in financing activities was ($57.3) million and the change in the first two fiscal quarters ofcash provided by financing activities was $66.4 million for three and six months ended November 30, 2022 as  compared to ($20.0) million and ($28.0) million for the first two fiscal quarters of 2021 isprior year same periods. The six month net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to an early payment on SweetWater’s term loan facility and the share capital financing completedfunds received in fiscalthe current quarter from our ATM program that was not in place for the prior year 2021 that did not recurperiod. The three month change in fiscal year 2022.

Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow

Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are non-GAAP measures. Free cash flow is relevant to management and investors, because it represents the cash flow available to the Company to repay creditors or potentially make distributions to investors. The measure is comprised of two GAAP amounts deducted from each other which are net cash flow used in operatingfinancing activities less investments, netwas from the repurchase of proceeds from disposals, in capital and intangible assets. Adjusted free cash flow removes the cash impact of acquisitions from free cash flow. Our free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow were, as follows:our outstanding convertible debentures payable.

Subsequent Events

Refer to Part I, Financial Information, Note 24 Subsequent Events of this interim report.

Off Balance Sheet ArrangementsNot applicable.

At November 30, 2021, we did not 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 litigation described in the Part II, Item 1 - Legal Proceedings, the Company is and may 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.

47

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 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 as amended for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2021.2022.

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.

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 our 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, our management believes that it has established appropriate legal reserves. Any liabilities arising from pending legal proceedings are not expected 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.

Class Action Suits and Shareholder Derivative Suits – U.S. and Canada

Authentic Brands Group Related Class Action (New York, United States)

On May 4, 2020, Ganesh Kasilingam filed a lawsuit in the U.S. 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) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Kasilingam litigation”). The complaint alleged 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 plaintiff suffered losses when Tilray’s stock price dropped after Tilray recognized an impairment with respect to the ABG deal on March 2, 2020.

On September 27, 2021, the U.S. District Court entered an Opinion & Order granting the Defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint in the Kasilingam litigation.On December 3, 2021, the lead plaintiff filed a second amended complaint alleging similar claims against Tilray and Brendan Kennedy. The Defendants intend to file a motion to dismiss this amended complaint as well.

Tilray, Inc. Reorganization Litigation (Delaware, New York)

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.

On March 4, 2020, the Delaware Court of Chancery entered an order consolidating the two cases and designating the complaint in the Braun/Noorian action as the operative complaint. The operative complaint asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty against Brendan Kennedy, Christian Groh, Michael Blue, and Privateer Evolution, LLC (the “Privateer Defendants”) for alleged breaches of fiduciary dutyin their alleged capacities as Tilray’s controlling stockholders and against Kennedy, Maryscott Greenwood, and Michael Auerbach for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties in their capacities as directors and/or officers of Tilray in connection with the prior merger of Privateer Holdings, Inc. with and into a wholly owned subsidiary (the “Downstream Merger”). The complaint alleges that the Privateer Defendants breached their fiduciary duties by causing Tilray to enter into the Downstream Merger and Tilray’s Board to approve that Downstream Merger, and that Defendants Kennedy, Greenwood, and Auerbach breached their fiduciary duties as directors by approving the Downstream Merger. 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 plaintiffs filed an amended complaint asserting substantially similar claims. On August 14, 2020, Tilray and the Privateer Defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint. At the February 5, 2021 hearing on Defendants’ Motions to Dismiss, the Plaintiffs agreed that their perpetuation of control 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 denied Defendants’ Motions to Dismiss the Amended 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 investigate the derivative claims in this litigation matter. The SLC has appointed the law firm Wilson Sonsini to assist the SLC with an ongoing investigation of the underlying claim and determine whether continued prosecution of such claims is in the best interests of the Company.  The SLC has successfully moved to have the Plaintiff’s discovery stayed during their investigation.

Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K as amended for the fiscal year ended May 31, 20212022 includes a discussion of our known material risk factors, other than risks that could apply to any issuer or offering. A summary of our risk factors is included below. ThereExcept as noted below in the summary of our risk factors, there have been no material changes from the risk factors described in our Form 10-K.10-K as amended.

We recently closed on an investment and certain transactions with HEXO Corp. ("HEXO") and we face uncertainty with respect to our ability to realize a return on our investment and achieve expected production efficiencies and cost savings in connection with the commercial transactions with HEXO as well as the MedMen investment and Montauk Brewing acquisition.

We are still completing our integration efforts following completion of the Arrangement between Tilray and Aphria on April 30, 2021 and may experience challenges fully achieving the expected benefits of the Arrangement.


We face ongoing risks related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of the Delta, Omicron and any new variants will continue to adversely impact our operations and adversely adverse effect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our business is dependent upon regulatory approvals and licenses, ongoing compliance and reporting obligations and timely renewals.

We are subject to litigation, arbitration and demands, which could result in significant liability and costs, and impact our resources and reputation.

Government regulation is evolving, and unfavorable changes or lack of commercial legalization could impact our ability to carry on our business as currently conducted and the potential expansion of our business.

We may not receive sufficient shareholder votes to amend our Certificate of Incorporation for the purpose of providing equal voting rights for each share of our common stock by canceling our authorized and unissued shares of supermajority voting Class 1 common stock and re-allocating such shares into our publicly traded Class 2 common stock.

Our production and processing facilities are integral to our business and adverse changes or developments affecting our facilities may have an adverse impact on our business.

We face intense competition, and anticipate competition will increase, which could hurt our business.

Regulations constrain our ability to market and distribute our products in Canada.

We may not be able to successfully develop new products or commercialize such products.

The long-term effect of the legalization of adult-use cannabis in Canada on the medical cannabis industry is unknown, and may negatively impact our medical cannabis business.

United States regulations relating to hemp-derived CBD products are unclearnew and rapidly evolving, and changes may not develop in the timeframe or manner most favorable to our business objectives.

Changes in consumer preferences or public attitudes about alcohol could decrease demand for our beverage alcohol products.

SweetWater, Breckenridge and Montauk each face substantial competition in the beer industry and the broader market for alcoholic beverage products which could impact our business and financial results.

We have a limited operating history and a history of net losses, and we may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future.

49

We are subject to litigation, arbitration and demands, which could result in significant liability and costs, and impact our resources and reputation.

We are exposed to risks relating to the laws of various countries as a result of our international operations.

Our strategic alliances and other third-party business relationships may not achieve the intended beneficial impact and expose us to risks.

We may not be able to successfully identify and execute future acquisitions, dispositions or other equity transactions or successfully manage the impacts of such transactions on our operations.

We are subject to risks inherent in an agricultural business, including the risk of crop failure.

We may be negatively impacted by volatility in political and economic environment, factors including the war in Ukraine, economic downturns and increases in interest rates, and a period of sustained inflation across the markets in which we operate could result in higher operating costs and may negatively impact our business and financial performance.

We depend on significant customers for a substantial portion of our revenue. If we fail to retain or expand our customer relationships or significant customers reduce their purchases, our revenue could decline significantly.

Our products may be subject to recalls for a variety of reasons, which could require us to expend significant management and capital resources. 

Significant interruptions in our access to certain supply chains for key inputs such as raw materials, supplies, electricity, water and other utilities may impair our operations.

Management may not be able to successfully establish and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting.

The price of our common stock in public markets has experienced and may continue to experience severe volatility and fluctuations.

The volatility of our stock and the stockholder base may hinder or prevent us from engaging in beneficial corporate initiatives.

The terms of our outstanding warrants may limit our ability to raise additional equity capital or pursue acquisitions, which may impact funding of our ongoing operations and cause significant dilution to existing stockholders.

We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to settle conversions of the convertible securities in cash or to repurchase the convertible securities upon a fundamental change.

We may not become the world's leading cannabis-focused consumer branded company with up to $4 billion of revenue by 2024;

We are subject to other risks generally applicable to our industry and the conduct of our business.

We may be negatively impacted by volatility in the political and economic environment, such as the crisis in Ukraine, economic downturns and increases in interest rates, and a period of sustained inflation across the markets in which we operate could result in higher operating costs and may negatively impact our business and financial performance.

Trade, monetary and fiscal policies, and political and economic conditions may substantially change, and credit markets may experience periods of constriction and variability. These conditions may impact our business. Further rising inflation may negatively impact our business, raise cost and reduce profitability. While we would take actions, wherever possible, to reduce the impact of the effects of inflation, in the case of sustained inflation across several of the markets in which we operate, it could become increasingly difficult to effectively mitigate the increases to our costs. In addition, the effects of inflation on consumers' budgets could result in the reduction of our customers' spending habits. If we are unable to take actions to effectively mitigate the effect of the resulting higher costs, our profitability and financial position could be negatively impacted.

The Federal Reserve recently raised interest rates multiple times in response to concerns about inflation and it may raise them again. Higher interest rates, coupled with reduced government spending and volatility in financial markets may increase economic uncertainty and affect consumer spending. Similarly, the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine has created extreme volatility in the global capital markets and is expected to have further global economic consequences, including disruptions of the global supply chain and energy markets. Any such volatility and disruptions may adversely affect our business or the third parties on whom we rely. If the equity and credit markets deteriorate, including as a result of political unrest or war, it may make any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult to obtain in a timely manner or on favorable terms, more costly or more dilutive. Increased inflation rates can adversely affect us by increasing our costs, including labor and employee benefit costs. In addition, higher inflation and macro turmoil and uncertainty could also adversely affect our customers, which could reduce demand for our products.
