Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended February 28,August 31, 2022 (the “Form 10-Q”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If the risks or uncertainties ever materialize or the assumptions prove incorrect, our results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,”” might,” “plan,” “project,” “will,” “would” ”seek,” or “should,” or the negative or plural of these words or similar expressions or variations are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, our beliefs or expectations relating to our future performance, results of operations and financial condition; what our revenue would have been had we completed the acquisition of Double Diamond Distillery LLX on June 1, 2021; our strategic initiatives, business strategy, supply chain, brand portfolio, product performance and product performance; the COVID-19 pandemic;expansion efforts; current or future macroeconomic trends; and future corporate acquisitions and strategic transactions; and our synergies, cash savings and efficiencies anticipated from our completed acquisitions and strategic transactions.

Risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements include: our abilityinclude, but are not limited to, successfully complete the integration of the businesses of Tilray and Aphria; our ability to successfully complete the proposed HEXO transaction and achieve the expected production efficiencies and cost savings; challenges and uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic; the highly regulated environmentthose identified in which we operate and our dependence on regulatory approvals and licenses; our ability to manage our supply chain effectively; disruption of operations at our cultivation and manufacturing facilities; challenges and uncertainty resulting from the impact of competition; our ability to manage risks associated with our international sales and operations; our ability to successfully develop and commercialize new products; our ability to execute our strategic plan and other initiatives, including our ability to achieve $4 billion of revenue by the end of our fiscal year 2024; our dependency on significant customers, which generate a significant amount of our revenue; input cost inflation; disruptions to information technology systems; pending and future litigation; volatility in our stock; our ability to raise funds;this Form 10-Q and other risks and matters described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K this Form 10-Q and our other filings from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and in our Canadian securities filings.

Forward looking statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and, while we believe that information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, these statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements or forward-looking information as predictions of future events.

We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in assumptions or circumstances, except as required by applicable law.

The financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. TheAccordingly, they do not include all of the information included in this Form 10-Qand notes required by U.S. GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 20212022 (the “Annual Financial Statements”). These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The Company’s balance sheet in these interim financial statements was derived from the audited Annual Financial Statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the Annual Financial Statements.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and, accordingly, will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations as they come due, under the historical cost convention except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value, as detailed in the Company’s accounting policies.

The purchase price allocation for the Arrangement is open for adjustments and has been allocated based on estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date.  In the event that more information is obtained, the purchase price allocation may change. Any future adjustments to the purchase price allocation, including changes within identifiable intangible assets or estimation uncertainty impacted by market conditions, may impact future net earnings. The purchase price allocation adjustments can be made through the end of the measurement period, which is not to exceed one year from the acquisition date.

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company either has a controlling voting interest or is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. A complete list of our subsidiaries that existed prior to our most recent year end is included in the Annual Report.  Financial Statements.

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 payment-in-kind at a price equal to the trailing 30-day volume weighted average price of the MedMen Shares, as and when such payment-in-kind interest becomes due and payable. SH Acquisition was also granted “top-up” rights enabling it (and its limited partners) to maintain its percentage ownership (on an “as-converted” basis) in the event that MedMen issues equity securities upon conversion of convertible securities that may be issued by MedMen.  Tilray’s ability to convert the Notes and exercise the Warrants is dependent upon U.S. federal legalization of cannabis (a “Triggering Event”) or Tilray’s waiver of such requirement as well as any additional regulatory approvals.

Under the SH Acquisition partnership agreement, certain material events described therein require the approval of the Company, and, upon a Triggering Event, the Company has the ability to appoint two 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.

On December 1, 2021, the Company acquired all the membership interests in Cheese Grits, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company that owns the SweetWater Brewing Company brewery and taproom in Atlanta, Georgia (the “SW Acquisition”), which facility was previously leased to the Company. Cheese Grits, LLC, was owned by certain former equity holders of SweetWater and current employees. As consideration for the SW Acquisition, the Company paid a purchase price at closing equal to $30,665, which purchase price was satisfied through the assumption of outstanding debt as well as the issuance of 843,687 shares of Tilray Class 2 common stock with a fair value of $8,606. On December 17, 2021, the Company issued an additional 82,224 Class 2 common shares with a fair value at issuance of $776 to satisfy its contractual obligations under the SW Acquisition. As a result of the SW Acquisition, Cheese Grits, LLC has been consolidated as a subsidiary of Tilray beginning on December 1, 2021. The SW Acquisition did not meet the definition of a business under US GAAP and has been treated as an asset acquisition.

On December 7, 2021 the Company acquired all the membership interests in Double Diamond Distillery LLC (d/b/a Breckenridge Distillery), a Colorado limited liability company and a leading distilled spirits brand located in Breckenridge, Colorado, known for its award-winning bourbon whiskey collection and innovative craft spirits portfolio (the “Breckenridge Acquisition”). As consideration for the Breckenridge Acquisition, the Company paid a purchase price in an aggregate amount equal to $114,068, which purchase price was satisfied through the issuance of 12,540,479 shares of Tilray’s Class 2 common shares. As a result, we consolidated Double Diamond Distillery LLC as a subsidiary of Tilray beginning December 7, 2021. Additional information about the Breckenridge Acquisition is included in Note 6 Goodwill.

Long-term investments

Debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value and are subject to impairment testing. Other than impairment losses, unrealized gains and losses during the period, net of the related tax effect, are excluded from income and reflected in other comprehensive income (loss), and the cumulative effect is reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity until realized. Upon sale, realized gain and losses are reported in net income. Debt securities are impaired when a decline 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 is recorded in the statements of net loss and a new cost basis for 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 comprehensive income (loss).

Investments in equity securities of entities over which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest or significant influence are accounted for at fair value. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are measured at cost with adjustments for observable changes in price or impairments (referred to as the “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 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 nine-months months ended February 28,August 31, 2022, the dilutive potential common share equivalents outstanding consist of the following:1,870,386 and 2,256,567 16,989,328 common shares from RSUs, nil and 901,7814,741,653 common shares from share options, 1,007,654 and 3,119,7346,209,000 common shares from warrants and nil and 1,468,87836,687,326 common shares from convertible debentures, respectively.debentures.

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.

As of August 31, 2022, there are 6,209,000 warrants outstanding ( May 31, 2022 - 6,209,000), 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 August 31, 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 February 28,August 31, 2022at $3.12$2.05 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 $3.80.

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

Note 16.17. Income Taxestaxes

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 benefitexpense of $(1,830) and $(2,739)$7,211 for the three and nine months ended February 28,August 31, 2022 and income tax expense of $6,310 and income tax benefit of $(13,707)$4,762 for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2021.August 31, 2021. 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.

Class Action Suits and Stockholder Derivative Suits U.S. and Canada

 

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

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. The Company isstill believes the claims are without merit and mayintend to defend vigorously against them, but there can be no assurances as to the outcome.

Tilray Brands, Inc. Reorganization Litigation (Delaware, New York) Special Litigation Committee

On February 27, 2020, Tilray stockholders Deborah Braun and Nader Noorian filed a defendant in lawsuits from time to timeclass action and derivative complaint in the normal courseDelaware Court of business. WhileChancery 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 resultsDelaware 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 cannot be predicted with certainty,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 believeshad suffered significant damages and that the reasonably possible lossesSLC would pursue claims to recover appropriate amounts for the Company's benefit. Thereafter, the SLC, all of such matters, individuallythe 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 parties' binding term sheet remains subject to execution of long-form settlement agreements with the respective parties and approval by the Court of Chancery. The SLC notified the Court of Chancery of the parties’ agreement in principle via letter dated July 18, 2022.  As of September 30, 2022, the parties are not material. Additionally,continuing to negotiate and finalize the Company believesspecific terms and conditions of 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.definitive settlement agreement.

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 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 February 28,August 31, 2022 the Company’s long-term debt of $18,188 (May$26,272 ( 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.

21

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 50%25%. The unobservable inputs into the future expected cash outflows result in a fair value measurement classified as Level 3.

The APHA24 Convertible debentures 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.

On April 30, 2021, upon consummation of the arrangement with Aphria Inc. (“Aphria”) pursuant to a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “Arrangement”), Aphria stockholders and Tilray stockholders owned approximately 61.2% and 38.8%, respectively, of the post-closing outstanding Tilray common stock resulting in the reverse acquisition of Tilray, whereby Tilray is the legal acquirer and Aphria is the acquirer for accounting purposes. Accordingly, as reported in our Annual Report and in this Form 10-Q, the assets and liabilities of Aphria are presented at their historical carrying values and the assets and liabilities of Tilray are recognized on the effective date of the business combination transaction and measured at fair value. The operating results for the comparable period, the three and nine months ended February 28, 2021, are of those of Aphria. Accordingly, comparisons between the Company's results for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022 and prior periods may not be meaningful. In conjunction with the reverse acquisition, the Company elected to adopt Aphria’s fiscal year of June 1 to May 31.  

Prior to the completion of the Arrangement, our condensed consolidated financial statements were presented under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and in Canadian Dollars (C$).  All prior periods have been recast and are shown in this Form 10-Q under GAAP and in United States Dollars ($). 

Trends and Other Factors Affecting Our Business

Market Dynamics.

Our cannabis business reporting segment operates in an industry that is still in its early stages of development. In Canada, the industry celebrated its third year of adult-use legalization in October 2021. As the industry continues to mature, there are a number 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 February 28, 2022, we maintained our market leadership within Canada but experienced a decline in market share percent to 10.2% from the 12.8% market share we maintained for the three months ended November 30, 2021. Prior to the end of our fiscal second quarter, the Company was primarily focused on margin maintenance in Canada. With the current market dynamics and the Company’s cost advantages, the Company adjusted its focus to be more price competitive in the value, mainstream and premium plus market categories, particularly, in vape and pre-rolled products. Our price adjustments in the vape and pre-rolled markets proved successful, with the Company increasing its market share in both categories in the current quarter, as measured by HiFyre data.


The cannabis industry in Europe is also in its early stages of development whereby countries within Europe are at different stages of legalization of medical and adult-use cannabis as some countries have expressed a clear political ambition to broadly legalize adult-use cannabis (Germany, Portugal, Luxembourg and Malta), some are engaging in an experiment for adult-use (Netherlands, Switzerland) and some are debating regulations for cannabinoid-based medicine (France, Spain, Italy, and the United Kingdom). In Europe, we believe that, despite continuing COVID-19 pressure 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.traction. 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 availability, quality and safety of our cannabinoid-based medical products. Today, Germany remains the largest medical cannabis market in Europe.

The following is a summary of the state of cannabis legalization within Europe:

European Union. In September 2022, European Union drug coordinators met in Prague and call for the collective effort of the 27 member countries regulate the medical and adult-use cannabis markets with the view that a controlled market may be the only possible solution.

Germany. The new coalition government led by chancellor Olaf Schulz declared its intention to legalize adult-use cannabis use, which aims to regulate the salecontrolled dispensing of adult-use cannabis. To date, Tilray remains the sole producer among the three selected to distribute domestically grown cannabis for adult-use consumption. It is expected that we shall see the BfArM through its state-of-the-art first operating medicaldraft of the proposed new regulation framework in the Fall of 2022. Tilray is well-positioned in Germany to provide consistent and sustainable cannabis center in Neuemunster.

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 cornerstoneproducts for the cannabis industryadult-use market whereby we can satisfy any demand in Europe.our Aphria RX facility located in Neumunster and our EU-GMP-certified production facility in Portugal.

Luxemburg. The government stated intentions to legalize adult-use cannabis in October 2021, thereby allowing cultivation, possession, and sale of seeds. However, legislation delays arehas been delayed 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. Although blocked by the constitutional court on other grounds, we are witnessing strong evolutions in the ways the Italian Government and administration are planning to facilitate patient access to medical cannabis. We project the market opening towards more exhaustive supply sources for flowers and extracts.

Switzerland. In October 2021, Switzerland announced its intention to legalize cannabis by allowing production, cultivation, trade, and consumption. In the meantime, a three-year pilot project will commence in the Fall 2022is commencing imminently to conduct scientific studies on the cannabis market and its impact on Swiss society. In June 2022, the Swiss Government lifted the ban on cannabis for medical use commencing August 1, 2022, facilitating access to cannabis for medical use for patients who will no longer need to seek exceptional permission from the health ministry.

Spain. A subcommittee on medical cannabis was recently created in The Spanish Congress' Health Committee. Hearings started in early March 2022, withCommittee has recently approved a series of national and EU experts attending. A report with recommendations for a regulation on MC in Spain is expected by the end of June 2022, which will likely leadMedical Cannabis Report that paves the way for a government-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 1,500 patients are enrolled in the experiment.experiment, which ends March 2023. 

United Kingdom. Medical cannabis

Czech Republic. The Czech Republic is legal in the United Kingdom, however, there isexpected to present a needplan to maximize both clinical research and patient benefit in a safe, cautious and ethical manner so that those patients for whom medical cannabis is shown to be effective can access it. Currently, a new piece of legislation is in discussion, which aims to improve access to cannabinoid-based medicine through two measures: (1) expanding the ability to prescribe these products to General Practitioners (GPs) who are registered with the General Medical Council and (2) establishing a commission for the assessment of cannabinoid-based medicinal products. The bill is sitting for the session of May 6 at the House of Commons. The department of health and social care announced that trials of medicallegalize adult-use cannabis in the UK will begin “as soon as possible.” The Government's National Institute for Health Research oversees the studies, which will study the effectsfirst half of medical cannabis on epilepsy.2023.

Acquisitions and synergies.Synergies

We have grown, and strive to continue to expand our business, through a combination of organic growth and acquisition. While we continue to execute against our strategic initiatives that we believe will result in the in long-term, sustainable growth and value to our stockholders, we continue to evaluate potential acquisitions and other strategic transactions of businesses that we believe complement our existing portfolio, infrastructure and capabilities or provide us with the opportunity to enter attractive new geographic markets and product categories.categories as well as expand our existing capabilities. 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 combine acquired companies and continue to achieve synergies.synergies, which is offset by income generated in connection with the execution of these transactions. For the ninethree months ended February 28,August 31, 2022, we incurred $42.9received ($12.8) million of transaction costs.income, discussed further below.

Our acquisition 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 closed the transaction for a strategic alliance with HEXO Corp. (“HEXO”) as discussed in Note 7 (Convertible notes receivable) and Note 12 (Convertible debentures). 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, both Tilray and HEXO are expected to achieve substantial cash savings and production efficiencies. In the current period ended August 31, 2022 the Company earned $7.8 million of adult-use cannabis revenue and $1.2 million of interest income. 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 an additional $30 million cost optimization plan of our existing cannabis business to solidify our position as an industry leading low-cost producer. The Company is taking decisive action to manage gross margin 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 August 31, 2022, we have achieved $13 million of our cost optimization plan on an annualized run-rate basis of which $2 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.

Tilray-Aphria Arrangement Agreement:

In connection with the Tilray-Aphria Arrangement Agreement, we committed to achieving at least $80 million of synergies in connection with the integration of Tilray and Aphria and developed a robust plan and timeline to achieve such synergies. In executing 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, reviewed contracts and arrangements, and analyzed our supply chain and our strategic partnerships. During the nine months ended February 28, 2022, we have executed on a series of synergistic actions, which included:

We entered into a termination and settlement agreement with ABG Intermediate Holdings 2, LLC (“ABG”) and certain of its affiliates whereby we terminated the license to use certain trademarks and the obligation to pay associated royalties.  Pursuant to this settlement agreement, we terminated $6.6 million in remaining guaranteed royalty payments owed to ABG in exchange for the payment of a $3.9 million termination fee.

We 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. On December 24, 2021, the Company agreed to extend the lease term of the Enniskillen facility to September 30, 2022, pursuant to a lease amendment that is intended to provide the Company with additional time to facilitate a disposition of the facility. On March 15, 2022, the Company entered into a sale agreement for the Nanaimo, Canada, facility for CAD $18.25 million with an expected closing date in June 2022 as outlined in Note 24.

We rightsized our real-estate portfolio to match our changing business needs through our site rationalizations and through the reduction of our commercial office space. Specifically, we reduced our redundant commercial office space by terminating a Toronto office lease, repudiating our Minneapolis lease and sub-leasing a portion of our Seattle office lease. Additionally, we sold two vacant land properties adjacent to our Nanaimo, Canada, facility with the first closing completed in this fiscal quarter for a purchase price of $3.7 million and the second property expected to close in May 2022 for a purchase price of CAD $1.9 million.

Due to the Company’s decisive and impactful actions in connection with the integration of Tilray and Aphria, we are on track to achieveexceeded the identified $80 million of cost synergies 5 months earlier than previously projected. and achieved such synergies ahead of our plan.

As of the date of this filing, we achieved $76$95 million in cost-savingscost-saving synergies on a run-rate basis and $42$65 million in actual cash-savings. Additionally, we have identified an additional $20anticipate delivering our remaining $5 million of identified synergies bringingby the end of this fiscal year, which will bring the total identified synergies to $100 million, which we expect to achieve by the end of our fiscal year ended May 31, 2023 to drive further stockholder value.  million.

During the nine months ended February 28, 2022, we also executed on other strategic transactions, as follows:

The acquisition of Breckenridge Distillery, a leading distilled spirits brand located in Breckenridge, Colorado, widely known for its award-winning bourbon whiskey collection and innovative craft spirits portfolio. Breckenridge Distillery joins SweetWater Brewing Company as the cornerstones of Tilray’s beverage alcohol segment and further diversifies the company’s net revenue mix. In addition to acquiring a strong brand and accretive business, this strategic acquisition delivers additional scale in the beverage alcohol category and further positions Tilray with additional infrastructure and a larger footprint in the U.S. market upon federal cannabis legalization. When federally permissible, Tilray believes the acquisition of Breckenridge Distillery will enable us to commercialize new and innovative products through the development of non-alcoholic distilled spirits, including bourbon whisky, that is infused with cannabis.

 

The purchase of the previously leased SweetWater Brewing facility and taproom located in Atlanta, Georgia, which provides SweetWater with ownership of its state-of-the-art brewing facilityand integrated restaurant and live music venue.

27


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.

 

Lastly, on March 3, 2022, Tilray announced a proposed agreement for a potential strategic alliance with HEXO Corp. (“HEXO”). Through this potential alliance, both companies wouldPolitical and Economic Environment

Our results of operations can also be expected to realize commercial benefits with production efficienciesaffected by economic, political, legislative, regulatory, legal actions, the global volatility and support services. The Company would also acquire up to $211 million of senior secured convertible notes (“Notes”) that were issued by HEXOgeneral market disruption resulting from the global COVID-19 pandemic and are currently held by funds affiliated with HT Investments MA LLC.  The Notes would be amended to permit the Company to exercise conversion rightsgeopolitical tensions, such as Russia's incursion into Ukraine. Economic conditions, such as recessionary trends, inflation, supply chain disruptions, interest and potentially acquiremonetary exchange rates, and government fiscal policies, can have a significant equity ownership position in HEXO. In connection with the proposed agreement, the Company would agree to amend and restate the indenture governing the Notes, to among other things, (i) extend the maturity dateeffect on operations. Accordingly, we could be affected by three years, to May 1, 2026; (ii) provide for the revised interest amounts; and (iii) amendcivil, criminal, environmental, regulatory or eliminate certain affirmative and negative covenants. The Notes will also provide the Company with subscription rights and top-up rights in respect of all future

The Coronavirus ("COVID-19") Pandemic, Its Impact on Us

We continuously address the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic,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 nine months ended February 28, 2022, 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 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. In our international cannabis business, we continue to see access to physician practices remains limited due to protective measures in place throughout Germany, slowing down the adoption of medical 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 impact of changepolitical and economic environment, please refer to Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors, "We may be negatively impacted by volatility in the exchange rate between the US dollarpolitical and the Euro, the Company recognized a decrease in sales from the prior year’s comparable period. Our beer and alcohol business continues to see a decline in on-premise business 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 nine months ended February 28, 2022 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) for each reporting segment (Cannabis, Beverage alcohol, Distribution and Wellness),

adjusted gross margin (excluding purchase price allocation (“PPA”) step up) 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.

Segment Reporting

Management updated our reporting segments during the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022. While the Company reported “business under development” as a fifth reporting segment in its previous Annual Report, management determined that this no longer met the definition of a reporting segment.

Our reporting segments revenue is primarily comprised of revenues from our cannabis, distribution, beverage alcohol, operations, and wellness operations, as follows:

Revenue from Canadian medical cannabis products: Revenue from Canadian medical cannabis products increased 19%decreased 22% to $7.1 million and 26% to $23.4$6.5 million for the three and nine months ended February 28,August 31, 2022, compared to revenue of $5.9 million and $18.6$8.4 million for the prior year same periods.period. On a constant currency basis revenue from Canadian medical cannabis products decreased 18% to $6.8 million for the three months ended August 31, 2022, compared to revenue of  $8.4 million for the prior year period. This increasedecrease in revenue from medical cannabis products is primarily driven by the contributions of legacy Tilray’s medical cannabis business resulting from the business combination of April 30, 2021. 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.  This increase was partially offset by the limitations 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 nine months ended February 28,August 31, 2022,, our gross revenue from Canadian adult-use cannabis product products decreased 10%16% to $43.5 million and decreased to $162.6$58.4 million compared to revenue of $48.1 million and $163.2$69.6 million for the prior year period. On a constant currency basis, our gross revenue from Canadian adult-use cannabis products decreased 13% to $60.4 million for the same periods.period. The decrease in gross revenue from Canadian adult-use cannabis is primarily driven by the following series of factors:

We continuedcontinue to experience see price compression in the residual impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in relation to consumer behaviors through their heightened sensitivity to price and appetite for sacrificing brand loyalty to save costs;

We continued to experience disruptions to consumer’s purchasing patterns as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The decline was partiallymarket driven by the government lockdowns reinstated in Ontario to combat the Omicron variant, as well as vaccine passport requirements to shop in retail stores in Quebec, reducing consumer’s accessibility to our products; andhigh number of competitors;

We also experienced additional declines in average gross selling price due to increased price-based competition in the more recent months fromDespite this increased competition in the market. During the three months ended February 28, 2022,market, we maintained our market leadership butposition for the quarter, however, we experienced a decline into an 8.5% market share to 10.2%from 12.8% at November 30, 202115.3% from the prior year quarter, as a result of these factors.reported by Hifyre data for all provinces excluding Quebec where Weedcrawler was deemed more accurate;

We experienced challenges with certain provincial boards, including strikes in British Columbia and Quebec as well as cyber-attacks in Ontario. These events negatively impacted our deliveries and had an estimated impact of $2.5 million of missed sales in the quarter;

TheseChanging consumer demand for our flower products, driven primarily by potency changes and strain rationalization, over the course of the prior fiscal year negatively impacted the comparison of the current period to the prior year period. In the last 6 months, 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 quarter. This has resulted in an 11% increase in our flower sales since our previous quarter ended May 31, 2022, based on Hifyre data for all provinces excluding Quebec where Weedcrawler was deemed more accurate;

Additionally, $2.2 million of the decrease is also attributable to the decline in the Canadian dollar from the prior year quarter; and

Lastly, these factors were partially offset by the favorable impact of the Arrangement, by including legacy Tilray revenue.recently executed HEXO arrangement which resulted in $7.8 million of advisory services revenue in the quarter.

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, Canada. In the second quarter of 2022, we expanded the terms of our distribution partnership with Rose LifeScience, which will now represent the entire Tilray portfolio in Quebec. In addition, we expanded


our partnership with Great North Distributors, Inc. to represent the entire Tilray portfolio and cover all of Canada, except for Quebec, using its established network.

The Company has also announced the planned strategic alliance with HEXO. We plan to leverage this relationship to allow us to identify production efficiencies and generate cost savings.

The nine months decrease in gross revenue is attributable to the same factors as the cause for the decrease in the three months.

Wholesale cannabis revenue: Revenue from wholesale cannabis products increased 111%decreased 77% to $2.8 million and increased 3% to $6.8$0.4 million for the three and nine months ended February 28,August 31, 2022, compared to revenue of $1.3 million and $6.6$1.7 million for the prior year same periods.period which is consistent on a constant currency basis. The Company continues to believe that wholesale cannabis revenue will remain subject to quarter-to-quarter variability and is based on opportunistic sales.

International cannabis revenue:Revenue from international cannabis products increased 4,459%2% to $15.8 million and 760% to $39.8$10.4 million for the three and nine months ended February 28,August 31, 2022 compared to revenue of $0.3 million and $4.6$10.3 million for the prior year same periods. The increase is due toperiod. Given the contributionsdeterioration of legacy Tilray’s larger international cannabis business as well as newly obtained business to business transactions. In Europe, we believe that, despite continuing COVID-19 pressure, cannabis legalization (both medicinal and adult-use) will continue to gain traction, especially following actions of the German and Maltese governments.  We also continue to believe that Tilray remains uniquely positioned to win in these markets with its infrastructure being the only company with EU-GMP cultivation facilities in two countries within Europe and our demonstrated commitment to the consistency, quality and safety of our products.

Italy. We are one of five distributors licensed to import medical cannabis into the Italian medical cannabis market.

United Kingdom. In the prior quarter, we completed a shipment of a wide range of dried flower products with high, medium and balanced potencies into the UK medical cannabis market.

Ireland. We are one out of only two suppliers within the Irish market whose cannabinoid-based medical products are eligible for reimbursement.

Australia. We continue to strengthen the reputation of our Tilray medical brand whereby, through a contract with the Department of Health in Victoria, 90 children are now participating in a government funded seizure program utilizing our cannabinoid-based medical products, which will continue to the end of calendar year 2024.

Significant efforts have been


taken to reduce the Company’s cultivation costs at its legacy-Tilray Canadian facilities, including announcing the shutdown of both the Enniskillen and Nanaimo Canadian facilities.  In the interim and until the inventory cultivated at these facilities is depleted, we expect to report lower gross margins until the inventory cultivated at legacy Aphria facilities replaces these products. Our European operations continue to work to optimize the cost structure for their cannabis growing facilities, including working with the Canadian operations team, all in an effort to continually lower our per unit costs.other synergistic initiatives.

Operating expenses are comprised of general and administrative, share-based compensation, selling, amortization, marketing and promotion, research and development, and transaction costs. These costs increased by $5.1 million and $107.4 million for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022as compared to the same periods of the prior year. This increase was primarily due to reporting full quarters of operating expenses for the acquired SweetWater and legacy-Tilray in fiscal 2022 and Breckenridge beginning on December 7, 2021, including non-cash amortization charges associated with definite life intangible assets acquired and general and administrative expenses. These increases were partially offset by a change in fair value of contingent consideration, litigation costs and transaction (income) costs. These costs decreased by ($50.5) million to $69.8 million for the three months ended August 31, 2022 as compared to $120.3 million for the same period of $29.1 millionthe prior year. This decrease was primarily a result of the transaction income recorded in the period described in detail below, where as the prior quarter included expenses related to the Tilray-Aphria Arrangement Agreement. Additionally, our amortization has decreased as a result of the reductions in our intangible assets. Lastly, our reduction in G&A is a change in the likelihoodresult of achieving specified earn-out EBITDA targets.our continual commitment to executing cost saving initiatives and exploring synergistic opportunities.

Salaries and wages increased 58% and 39% indecreased by 4% during the three months and nine months ended February 28,August 31, 2022.

The increasebalance has remained consistent period over period as this is primarily driven by the increased number of employees and the acceleratedbased on consent time based vesting of certain elements of our stock-based compensation awards related to the Arrangement.schedules. 

Insurance expenses increaseddecreased by 53% and 56% for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2022 due primarily to our revised directors and officers’ insurance policy. This increase reflects an increase in premium rates, as the Company continued with legacy-Tilray’s rating history.

Transaction (income) costs

Items classified as transaction (income) costs are non-recurring in nature and correspond largely to our acquisition and synergy strategy. The three months decrease of 5% is associated with the closing of the SweetWater acquisition in153% from the prior period. The nine months increase of 41%year period is associated with the solicitation of stockholder votes supporting an increase in the number of authorized common stock shares, transaction closing costs related to the Arrangement, the MedMen Transaction, the Breckenridge transaction and the evaluation of other potential acquisitions and one-time litigation costs.following items:

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 disposal of our Enniskillen facility and the restructuring of Nanaimo facility are completed;

the prior period 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;

A non-reimbursed compensation payment of $5.0 million was made as a result of the HEXO transaction in the quarter; 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 subsequent to the quarter end. This gain offsets the aforementioned items in the 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.
