(d)Segment information
Segment reporting is prepared on the same basis that the Company’s chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) manages the business, makes operating decisions and assesses the Company’s performance. TheHistorically, the Company has reported results for two reportable segments, the U.S. and Rest of World. In the second quarter of 2023, as a result of the Company’s exit of its then-existing U.S. operations, the Company determined that it has the following two reportable segments: U.S. (the “U.S. segment”) and ROW (the “ROW segment”). The U.S.one operating segment consistsand therefore one reportable segment, which is comprised of theoperations manufacturein Canada and distribution of U.S. hemp-derived cannabinoid infused products. The ROW operating segmentIsrael and is involved in the cultivation, manufacture, and marketing of cannabis and cannabis-derived products for the medical and adult-use markets.

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date using a provision matrix to measure expected credit losses. The provision rates are based on the days past due for groupings of various customer segments with similar loss patterns. The calculation reflects the probability-weighted outcome, the time value of money and reasonable and supportable information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan and a failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 120 days past due. As of September 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the Company had $2$45 and $8,$2, respectively, in expected credit losses that have been recognized on receivables from contracts with customers in the ROW segment. customers.

(e)(g)Adoption of new accounting pronouncements
On January 1, 2022,2023, the Company adopted ASU No. 2020-06, Debt –Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815–40) (“ASU No. 2020-06”). ASU No. 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. ASU No. 2020-06 is part of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) simplification initiative, which aims to reduce unnecessary complexity in U.S. GAAP. The adoption of ASU No. 2020-06 did not have an impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
(f)New accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU No. 2022-02”). ASU No. 2022-02 eliminates the existing troubled debt restructuring recognition and measurement guidance, and instead aligns the accounting treatment to that of other loan modifications. The amendments enhance existing disclosure requirements and introduce new requirements related to certain modifications of receivables made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. ASU No. 2022-02 also requires that entities disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. ASU No. 2022-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and is to be adopted prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2022-02 todid not have a material impact on itsthe Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
(h)New accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In June 2022, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU No. 2022-03”). ASU No. 2022-03 clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also require additional disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. ASU 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and iswe expect to be adoptedadopt ASU 2022-03 prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2022-03 to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Fluctuations in the expected life of the derivative instruments and the Company’s share price are primary drivers for the changes in the derivative valuations during each reporting period. As the period of time that the derivative liability is expected to be outstanding decreases and the share price decreases, the fair value typically decreases for each related derivative instrument. Weighted-average expected life and share price are two of the significant observable inputs used in the fair value measurement of each of the Company’s derivative instruments.

(i)The risk-free interest rate was based on Bank of Canada government treasury bills and bonds with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the derivative liabilities. As of September 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the risk-free interest rate uses a range of approximately 3.52%4.79% to 3.80%5.05% and 0.16%3.81% to 1.10%4.37%, respectively, for the Pre-emptive Rights and Top-up Rights.
(ii)The expected life represents the period of time, in years, that the derivative liabilities are expected to be outstanding. The expected life of the Pre-emptive Rights and Top-up Rights is determined based on the expected term of the underlying options, warrants, and shares, to which the Pre-emptive Rights and Top-up Rights are linked. As of September 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the expected life uses a range of approximately 0.250.75 years to 3.002.00 years and 0.25 years to 3.752.75 years, respectively, for the Pre-emptive Rights and Top-up Rights.
(iii)Volatility was based on an equally weighted blended historical and implied volatility level of the underlying equity securities of the Company.

7. Restructuring
In the first quarter of 2022, the Company initiated a strategic plan to realign the business around its brands, centralize functions and evaluate the Company’s supply chain (the “Realignment”). As part of the significant inputs described aboveRealignment, on February 28, 2022, the Board approved plans to leverage the Company’s strategic partnerships to improve supply chain efficiencies and provides a sensitivity analysisreduce manufacturing overhead by exiting its production facility in Stayner, Ontario, Canada (the “Peace Naturals Campus”). On February 27, 2023, the Board approved revisions to the Realignment, which are expected to result in the Company maintaining select components of its operations at the Peace Naturals Campus, namely distribution warehousing, certain research and development activities and manufacturing of certain of the impact on the reported valuesCompany’s products, while seeking to sell and lease back all or some of the derivative liabilities.Peace Naturals Campus or to lease certain portions of the Peace Naturals Campus to third parties. In the third quarter of 2023, the Board approved revisions to the Realignment to wind-down operations at its Winnipeg, Manitoba facility (“Cronos Fermentation”), list the Cronos Fermentation facility for sale, and implement additional organization-wide cost reductions as the Company continues its Realignment initiatives. The sensitivity analysis for each significant input isRealignment initiatives were intended to position the Company to drive profitable and sustainable growth over time. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company performed by assumingan assessment under ASC 360, Property Plant and Equipment, of the recovery of the carrying value of the Canada asset group, which includes Cronos Fermentation, and determined the carrying value of the asset group was recoverable. As of September 30, 2023, Cronos Fermentation did not meet the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale.
During both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred $1,423 of restructuring costs in its continuing operations in connection with the Realignment. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized $387 and $3,396, respectively, of restructuring costs in continuing operations in connection with the Realignment. Charges related thereto include employee-related costs such as severance, relocation and other termination benefits, as well as contract termination and other related costs. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as a 10% decreaseresult of the decision to wind down operations at Cronos Fermentation, the Company recognized an inventory write-down of $716 related to certain obsolete raw materials. Restructuring costs and inventory write-downs incurred in the input while other significant inputs remain constant at management’s best estimate as ofCompany’s discontinued operations during the respective dates. While a decreasethree and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 is presented in the inputs noted below would cause a decrease in the carrying amount of the derivative liability, there would also be an equal and opposite impact on net income (loss)Note 2 “Discontinued Operations.

11.10. Commitments and Contingencies
(a)Commitments
There have been no material changes in the information regarding commitments as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report.
(b)Contingencies
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business and in connection with its marketing, distribution and sale of its products. Many of these legal proceedings are in the early stages of litigation and seek damages that are unspecified or not quantified. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe these legal proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition but could be material to its results of operations for a quarterly period depending, in part, on its results for that quarter.
(i)Class action complaints relating to restatement of 2019 interim financial statements
On March 11 and 12, 2020, two alleged shareholders of the Company separately filed two putative class action complaints in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York against the Company and its Chief Executive Officer and now former Chief Financial Officer. The court has consolidated the cases, and the consolidated amended complaint alleges violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder against all defendants, and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the individual defendants. The consolidated amended complaint generally alleges that certain of the Company’s prior public statements about revenues and internal control were incorrect based on the Company’s disclosures relating to the Audit Committee of the Board’s review of the appropriateness of revenue recognized in connection with certain bulk resin purchases and sales of products through the wholesale channel. The consolidated amended complaint does not quantify a damage request. Defendants moved to dismiss on February 8, 2021.

(In thousands of U.S. dollars, except share amounts)
On June 3, 2020, an alleged shareholder filed a Statement of Claim, as amended on August 12, 2020, in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, seeking, among other things, an order certifying the action as a class action on behalf of a putative class of shareholders and damages of an unspecified amount. The Amended Statement of Claim names (i) the Company, (ii) its Chief Executive Officer, (iii) now former Chief Financial Officer, (iv) former Chief Financial Officer and Chief Commercial Officer, and (v) current and former members of the Board as defendants and alleges breaches of the Ontario Securities Act, oppression under the Ontario Business Corporations Act and common law misrepresentation. The Amended Statement of Claim generally alleges that certain of the Company’s prior public statements about revenues and internal control were misrepresentations based on the Company’s March 2, 2020 disclosure that the Audit Committee of the Board was conducting a review of the appropriateness of revenue recognized in connection with certain bulk resin purchases and sales of products through the wholesale channel, and the Company’s subsequent restatement. The Amended Statement of Claim does not quantify a damage request. On June 28, 2021, the Court dismissed motions brought by the plaintiff for leave to commence a claim for misrepresentation under the Ontario Securities Act and for certification of the action as a class action. The plaintiff appealed the Court’s dismissal of the motions only with respect to the Company, the Chief Executive Officer, and the now former Chief Financial Officer; the remaining defendants were dismissed from the matter with prejudice, and the Company and all individual defendants agreed not to seek costs from plaintiff in connection with the dismissal of the motions. On September 26, 2022, the Court of Appeal for Ontario reversed the Superior Court’s dismissal of the leave and certification motions, granted the plaintiff leave to proceed to bring a claim for misrepresentation under the Ontario Securities Act, and remitted the certification motion back to the Superior Court. On October 10, 2023, the Superior Court certified a class that includes shareholders that acquired shares on the TSX and NASDAQ exchanges.
(ii)Regulatory reviews relating to restatements
The Company has been responding to requests for information from various regulatory authorities relating to its previously disclosed restatement of its financial statements for the first three quarters of 2019 as well as the previously disclosed restatement of the second quarter of 2021 interim financial statements (collectively, the “Restatements”). The Company has been responding to all such requests for information and cooperating with all regulatory authorities.

Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company reassessed the existence of impairment indicators on property, plant and equipment associated with sales channels in the U.S. segment. The Company determined that slower actual revenue growth as compared to previous growth forecasts and significant pricing pressures brought about by increased competition and aggressive discounting in sales channels in the U.S. segment represented indicators of impairment. As a result, a quantitative impairment analysis was required as of June 30, 2021. As such, the Company reassessed its estimates and forecasts as of June 30, 2021, to determine the fair values of the property, plant and equipment using an undiscounted cash flow methodology. Significant inputs include growth rates and cash flow projections. As a result of the analysis as of June 30, 2021, the Company concluded the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment associated with sales channels in the U.S. segment exceeded its fair value, which resulted in impairment charges of $1,214 on the condensed consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

creating and monetizing disruptive intellectual property.
Discontinued Operations
In the second quarter of 2023, Cronos exited its U.S. hemp-derived cannabinoid product operations. The exit of the U.S. operations represented a strategic shift that has a major effect on Cronos’ operations and financial results, and as such, qualifies for reporting as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statements of net loss and comprehensive loss. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to reflect the discontinued operations classification of the U.S. operations. For further detail on the discontinuation of the U.S. operations, see Note 2 “Discontinued Operations” to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
Business segments
We report through two segments: “United States” (the “U.S. segment”) and “Rest of World” (the “ROW segment”). These two segments represent the geographic regions in which we operate and the different product offerings within each geographic region.
The U.S. segment manufactures, markets and distributes U.S. hemp-derived supplements and cosmetic products through e-commerce, retail and hospitality partner channelsBeginning in the United States undersecond quarter of 2023, following the brands Lord Jones®, Happy Dance®exit of our U.S. operations, Cronos is reporting through one consolidated segment, which includes operations in both Canada and PEACE+®.
The ROW segment is involved in the cultivation, manufacture, and marketing of cannabis and cannabis-derived products for the medical and adult-use markets.Israel. In Canada, Cronos Group operates two wholly owned license holders under the Cannabis Act (Canada) (the “Cannabis Act”), Peace Naturals Project Inc.

Recent Developments
COVID-19 updateIsrael-Hamas War
In December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was identifiedCronos continues to monitor the conflict in Wuhan, China. Since then, COVID-19 has spread across the globe, including the U.S., Canada and Israel and other countriespotential impacts the conflict could have on the Company’s personnel and business in which Cronos Group or its affiliates operate (including Australia and Colombia) and was recognized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a sharp contraction in many areas of the global economy and increased volatility and uncertainty in the capital markets. In response to the pandemic, the governments of many countries, provinces, states, municipalities, and other geographic regions took preventative or protective actions, including closures of certain businesses, mandatory quarantines, limits on individuals’ time outside of their homes, travel restrictions and social distancing or other preventative measures. Such measures were eased or lifted in varying degrees by different governments of various countries, states and municipalities since implementation in 2020, but the continued spread of COVID-19 and increased infection rates has caused, and may continue to cause, some jurisdictions to roll back reopening plans that had been underway and re-impose quarantines, border closures, closure of certain businesses and stay-at-home orders.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the global economy and, specifically, the U.S., Canada, Israel and the other countries in which Cronos Group or its affiliates operate (including Australiarecorded amounts of assets and Colombia). We continue to closely monitor and respond, where possible, to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. As the global situation continues to change rapidly, ensuring the health and safety of our employees remains one of our top priorities.
In the U.S., numerous states have continued to remove their COVID-19 related restrictions. This has resulted in the re-opening of, and increased occupancy capacities in, retail outlets, including those that sell our products. Any reinstatement of restrictions on the operations of retail outlets could negatively impact our short-term results of operations in the U.S. Recently in the U.S., there have been a number of supply chain challenges, such as container ships facing delays due to congestion in ports, impacting many industries, including the industries in which we operate. Although we have not yet seen a significant impact from supply chain disruptions, we continue to monitor our supply chain closely.
In Canada, COVID-19 restrictions began gradually easing at the end of June 2021 as the vaccination rate increased. The lockdown measures taken in the first six months of 2021 to slow infection rates negatively impacted our short-term revenue growth in Canada in 2021. The increase in casesliabilities related to the Omicron variantCompany’s operations in Israel. The extent to which the conflict may impact the Company’s personnel, business and activities will depend on future developments which remain highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. It is possible that the recorded amounts of COVID-19 beginning in December 2021 caused the reinstatement of some restrictions on non-essential retail stores in some provinces, including Quebec, in early 2022; however, those restrictions have eased in most other provinces. Each province is responsible for implementing re-opening plansassets and certain provinces, including Ontario, are progressing through phases of re-opening which may permit continued increasesliabilities related to the allowance of in-person shopping, typicallyCompany’s operations in Israel could change materially in the form of percentage of store capacity. All provinces have some form of cannabis retail open to consumers, and most provinces have lifted the requirement that retail shoppers show proof of vaccination before entering retail stores. The potential for recurring retail restrictions is ongoing, which could negatively impact our results of operations.near term.
New Israeli Shekel Weakening
In Israel, most COVID-19 restrictions have been removed as vaccination rates have increased. Occupancy limitations in retail outlets have been removed, including those that sell our products. We do not expectOctober 2023, with the remaining COVID-19 restrictions to have a material impact on our short-term revenue growth in Israel.
Collectively, the effectsonset of the COVID-19 pandemic have adversely affected our resultsaforementioned Israel-Hamas war, the New Israeli Shekel has significantly weakened against the U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar. As of operationsOctober 30, 2023, the New Israeli Shekel has weakened to a position of 4.019 per U.S. dollar and ifa position of 2.906 per Canadian dollar, representing decreases of 5% and 3.5%, respectively, from the effects continue unabated, could continue to do sorates as long as measures to combat the COVID-19 pandemic remain in effect or supply chains continue to be challenged. At this time, neither the duration nor scope of the disruption can be predicted; therefore, the ultimate impact to our business cannot be reasonably estimated, but such impact could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Despite the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe that our significant cash on hand and short-term investments will be adequate to meet liquidity and capital requirements for at least the next twelve months.

Strategic and Organizational Update
InSeptember 30, 2023. We cannot predict when or if the third quarter of 2022, following the decision to begin a phased exit of the wholesale beauty category incurrency will recover against the U.S. business in the second quarterdollar and Canadian dollar and we have, as a result, experienced an adverse impact on our results of 2022, the Company continued to reduce operating expenses in the U.S. to better align the business structure with the new strategy to focus on adult-use product formats in the direct-to-consumer channel.
Due to the restructuring of the U.S. business and other newly identified cost savings opportunities, the Company now expects to incur approximately $6.1 million in expenses in connection with the Realignment, a decrease from the previously stated $6.4 million.
The Company now anticipates exiting the Peace Naturals Campus in 2023 due to longer than anticipated transition timing for contract manufacturers, lead times on required equipment, and the receipt of necessary regulatory licenses. As the Company continues its transition out of the Peace Naturals Campus in Stayner, Ontario into 2023, it anticipates that it will begin to incur the majority of the expected capital expenditures related to the Realignment.operations.

Net revenue
For the three months ended September 30, 2022,2023, we reported consolidated net revenue of $20.9$24.8 million, representing an increase of $0.5$4.4 million from the three months ended September 30, 2021.2022.

For both the three- and nine-monththree month comparative periods,period, the increase was primarily due to higher cannabis flower sales in the Israeli medical market and higher cannabis extract sales in the Canadian adult-use market, partially offset by a reduction in revenue in the U.S. segment, lower cannabis flower sales in the Canadian adult-use marketIsrael driven by pricing pressure as a result of competitive activity, the slowdown in patient permit authorizations and geopolitical unrest, and an adverse price/mix shiftin the Canadian cannabis flower category driving increased excise tax payments as a percentage of revenue.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we reported gross profit of $12.2 million, representing an increase in gross profit of $31.7 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. For the three-month comparative period, the change was primarily due to increased revenue in the ROW segment driven mainly by sales of cannabis flower in Israel and a favorable mix of cannabis extract products, which carry a higher gross profit and gross margin than other product categories, and lower cannabis biomass costs, partially offset by lower fixed cost absorption due to the timing of wind-down activities associated with our planned exit of the Stayner Facility and lower revenue in the U.S. segment. For the nine-month comparative period, the change was primarily due to increased revenue in the ROW segment driven mainly by sales of cannabis flower in Israel and a favorable mix of cannabis extract products, which carry a higher gross profit and gross margin than other product categories, the absence of inventory write-downs in the current period, and lower cannabis biomass costs, partially offset by lower fixed cost absorption due to the timing of wind-down activities associated with our planned exit of the Stayner Facility and lower revenue in the U.S. segment.Contents

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the U.S. segment reported net revenue of $0.5 million, representing a decrease of $1.6 million from the three months ended September 30, 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the U.S. segment reported net revenue of $4.3 million, representing a decrease of $2.5 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2021. For both the three- and nine-month comparative periods, the decrease was primarily driven by a reduction in sales as a result of a decrease in promotional spending and SKU rationalization efforts as the Company implements the Realignment in the U.S. segment.
Cost of sales U.S.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the U.S. segment reported cost of sales of $2.5 million, representing a decrease of $0.9 million from the three months ended September 30, 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the U.S. segment reported cost of sales of $6.3 million, essentially unchanged from the nine months ended September 30, 2021. For the three-month comparative period, the decrease was primarily due to lower sales volumes. For the nine-month comparative period, the reduction in cost of sales was driven by lower sales volumes, partially offset by a higher level of inventory reserves.
Gross profit U.S.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the U.S. segment reported gross profit of $(2.0) million, representing a decrease of $0.7 million from the three months ended September 30, 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the U.S. segment reported gross profit of $(2.0) million, representing a decrease of $2.5 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2021. For both the three- and nine-month comparative periods, the change was primarily due to lower sales volumes and higher inventory reserves.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, loss from discontinued operations was $0.2 million, representing a decreased loss of $3.6 million from the three months ended September 30, 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, loss from discontinued operations was $4.2 million, representing a decreased loss of $6.6 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2022. For the comparative three month period, the decreased loss was driven by the decrease in operating expense as a result of the exit of U.S. operations. For the comparative nine month period, the decreased loss was driven by negative gross margins and higher operating expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Non-GAAP Measures
Cronos Group reports its financial results in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). This Quarterly Report refers to measures not recognized under U.S. GAAP (“non-GAAP measures”). These non-GAAP measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these non-GAAP measures are provided as a supplement to corresponding U.S. GAAP measures to provide additional information regarding the results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All non-GAAP measures presented in this Quarterly Report are reconciled to their closest reported U.S. GAAP measure. Reconciliations of historical adjusted financial measures to corresponding U.S. GAAP measures are provided below.

Adjusted EBITDA
Management reviews Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, which excludes non-cash items and items that do not reflect management’s assessment of ongoing business performance of our operating segments.performance. Management defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization adjusted for: share of income (loss)(income) loss from equity method investments; impairment loss on goodwill and intangible assets; impairment loss on long-lived assets; (gain) loss on revaluation of derivative liabilities; (gain) loss on revaluation of financial instruments; transaction costs related to strategic projects; impairment loss on other investments; foreign currency transaction loss; other, net; loss from discontinued operations; restructuring costs; inventory write-downs resulting from restructuring actions; share-based compensation; and financial statement review costs and reserves related to the restatements of our 2019 and 2021 interim financial statements (the “Restatements”), including the costs related to the settlement of the SEC’s and the OSC’sOntario Securities Commission’s (“OSC”) investigations of the Restatements and legal costs defending shareholder class action complaints brought against us as a result of the 2019 restatement (see Part II, Item 1 “Legal Proceedings” of this Quarterly Report for a discussion of the shareholder class action complaints relating to the restatement of the 2019 interim financial statements and the settlement of the SEC’s and the OSC’s investigations of the Restatements.Restatements). Results are reported as total consolidated results, reflecting our reporting structure of one reportable segment.
Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides the most useful insight into underlying business trends and results and provides a more meaningful comparison of period-over-period results. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA for planning, forecasting and evaluating business and financial performance, including allocating resources and evaluating results relative to employee compensation targets.

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have presented constant currency adjusted financial measures for net revenues, gross profit, gross profit margin, operating expenses, net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20222023, as well as cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment balances as of September 30, 20222023 compared to December 31, 2021,2022, which are considered non-GAAP financial measures. We present constant currency information to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying operations performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. To present this information, current and comparative prior period income statement results in currencies other than U.S. dollars are converted into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates from the three-three and nine-monthnine month comparative periods in 20212022 rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the respective current periods; constant currency current and prior comparative balance sheet information is translated at the prior year-end spot rate rather than the current period spot rate. All growth comparisons relate to the corresponding period in 2021.2022. We have provided this non-GAAP financial information to aid investors in better understanding the performance of our segments.operations. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Quarterly Report should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Cash Requirements
The Company’s cash requirements have not changed significantly since the filing of the Annual Report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report. Our critical accounting policies and estimates have not changed significantly since the filing of the Annual Report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The Company is exposed to certain market risks, including changes from foreign currency exchange rates related to our international operations. Except as updated below, the Company’s market risks have not changed significantly from thatthe market risk disclosed in Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report.
Foreign currency risk
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1. “Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk based on its net assets, liabilities, and revenues denominated in foreign currencies, including Canadian dollars and Israeli new shekels. As a result, we are exposed to foreign currency translation gains and losses. Revenue and expenses of all foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the foreign currency exchange rates that approximate the rates in effect during the period when such items are recognized. Appreciating foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar will positively impact operating income and net earnings, while depreciating foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar will have an adverse impact.
A 10% change in the exchange rates for the Canadian dollar would have affected the carrying amount of the net assets by approximately $79.9$96.7 million and $87.8$77.4 million as of September 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively. The corresponding impact would be recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. We have not historically engaged in hedging transactions and do not currently contemplate engaging in hedging transactions to mitigate foreign exchange risks. As we continue to recognize gains and losses in foreign currency transactions, depending upon changes in future currency rates, such gains and losses could have a significant, and potentially adverse, effect on the Company’s results of operations.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company had foreign currency gain on translation of $20.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company had foreign currency loss on translation of $60.6 million and $22.8 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company had foreign currency gain (loss) on translation of $(68.8) million and $6.9$68.8 million, respectively.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as of September 30, 2022.2023. Based on that evaluation, management has concluded that, as of September 30, 2022,2023, due to the existence of a material weaknessesweakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting described below, the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act were recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Material Weakness in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies in internal controlscontrol over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20212022 (the “Annual Report”), we have identified the following material weaknesses:weakness:
Control EnvironmentITGCs - User Access:
We did not maintain an effective control environment. Specifically, our control environment (i) did not ensure that senior personnel in our accounting function engaged consistently in appropriate professional conduct and conduct consistent with our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; and (ii) lacked personnel in our accounting function with appropriate level of knowledge and experience in U.S. GAAP sufficient to properly assess evidence and interpret accounting rules.
None of the personnel in the accounting function that engaged in misconduct were current or former executive officers of the Company. The control environment material weakness contributed to the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset material weakness described below.
Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Asset Impairment Testing:
We identified the following material weakness with respect to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing. We did not design and maintain effective controls over Information Technology General Controls (“ITGC”), pertaining to assess goodwilluser access management and indefinite-lived intangible assets for potential impairment as changes in the performanceprovisioning and monitoring of user access, including privileged access. We believe this weakness to be the result of ineffective monitoring of security administrator activities, insufficient retention of documentation to support access requests and prospects for our U.S. reporting unit occurred. Specifically, welack of training on the importance of ITGC. This material weakness did not designimpact any information derived from information systems and maintain effective controlsdid not result in any identified misstatements to sufficiently assess the overallour financial performance of and expectations for our U.S. reporting unit and certain macroeconomic, industry and market conditions when evaluating goodwill associated with our U.S. reporting unit and our Lord Jones® brand indefinite-lived intangible asset for potential impairment.
The material weakness in the control environment contributed to material misstatements related to the impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets that led to the restatement of the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. The material weaknesses create a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to the consolidated financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The lack of personnel in our accounting function with appropriate level of knowledge and experience in U.S. GAAP sufficient to properly assess evidence and interpret accounting principles described above resulted in immaterial misstatements related to the accounting for derivatives, share-based compensation, earnings per share, and long-lived asset impairment.

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1: Legal Proceedings.
The information set forth under Note 11(b), Contingencies, to the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements included in Part I, Item 1. “Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A: Risk Factors.
An investment in us involves a number of risks. A detailed discussion of our risk factors appears in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors of the Annual Report. Any of the matters highlighted in the risk factors described in the Annual Report and the risk factors below could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, causing an investor to lose all, or part of, its, his or her investment. The risks and uncertainties described in the Annual Report and below are those we currently believe to be material, but they are not the only ones we face. If any of the risks described in the Annual Report, the following risk factors, or any other risks and uncertainties that we have not yet identified or that we currently consider not to be material, actually occur or become material risks, our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and consequently the price of our securities could be materially and adversely affected.
We are subjectRisks Related to disabilities as a result of the SEC Order that may expose us to increased future litigationOperations in Israel
Conditions in Israel could materially and adversely affect our ability to raise capital.
As of the date of the SEC Order, October 24, 2022, and for a period of three years thereafter, we are unable to rely on the safe harbor provisions regarding forward-looking statements provided by the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Our inability to rely on these safe harbor provisions may expose us to increased future litigation in connection with forward-looking statements in our public disclosures.
Further, as of the date of the SEC Order, we have lost our status as a “well-known seasoned issuer” for a period of three years, which places limitations on the manner in which we can market our securities to the public, and we are unable to rely on the private offering exemptions provided by Regulations A and D under the Securities Act for a period of five years, which could impair our ability to raise additional capital in the private market quickly in response to changing requirements and market conditions.
Our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected by disruptions in the global economy caused by the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
The global economy has been negatively impacted by the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Furthermore, governments in the U.S., Canada, United Kingdom, and European Union have each imposed export controls on certain products and financial and economic sanctions on certain industry sectors and parties in Russia. Although we do not have any customers or direct supplier relationships in Russia or Ukraine, businesses in the United States and globally have experienced shortages in materials and increased costs for transportation, energy, and raw material due in part to the negative impact of the Russia-Ukraine military conflict on the global economy. Further escalation of geopolitical tensions related to the military conflict, including increased trade barriers or restrictions on global trade, could result in, among other things, cyberattacks, supply disruptions, lower consumer demand, and changes to foreign exchange rates and financial markets, any of which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We have operations in Israel through a strategic joint venture, Cronos Israel.
On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists from the Gaza Strip launched a rocket barrage against Israel and engaged in incursions into Israeli territory, breaching the Gaza-Israel border, attacking military bases and slaughtering and kidnapping civilians in neighboring Israeli communities. Israel formally declared war on October 8. The Israel-Hamas War may escalate, including due to an eruption of fighting between Hezbollah and Israel across Israel’s northern border, which would open a second front in the war, and may result in a broader conflict across the Middle East.The Israel-Hamas War (and any escalation) and any resulting regional political instability or interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its trading partners would likely materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our employees, including certain members of our management, operate from our offices located in Gan Shmuel, Israel and our manufacturing facilities located in Hadera, Israel. While our facilities have not been damaged by the war, rocket attacks continue, and our facilities could be damaged or destroyed. Imports into Israel have been severely restricted by the war, and we may be unable to import materials into Israel. Further, our sales have been, and likely will continue to be, adversely affected by the war.
Our commercial insurance does not cover losses that may occur as a result of events associated with war and terrorism. Any losses or damages incurred by us could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Further, in the past, the State of Israel and Israeli companies have been subjected to economic boycotts. Several countries still restrict doing business with the State of Israel and with Israeli companies. A campaign of boycotts, divestment, and sanctions has been undertaken against Israel, which could also adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations and cash flows.
We are continuing to monitor the situation in Ukraine and globally and assessing its potential impact onexpansion of our business. Although
Our operations may be disrupted by the obligations of personnel to perform military service.
Some of our business has not been,employees in Israel are obligated to perform annual reserve duty in the Israeli military for several days, and in some cases more, of annual military reserve duty each year until they reach the age of 40 (or older, for reservists who are military officers or who have certain occupations) and are subject to being called for additional active duty under emergency circumstances. In response to the dateIsrael-Hamas War, a number of this Quarterly Report, materially impacted byour employees have been called up to serve in the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine, it is impossible toIsraeli military. We cannot predict the extent to which our operations,full impact of these conditions on us in the future, particularly if emergency circumstances or thosean escalation in the political or military situation occurs. If many of our suppliers and vendors, will be impacted in the short and long term, or the ways in which the conflict may impactemployees are called for active duty, our business. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict, but may be substantial. In addition, the effects of the ongoing conflict could heighten any of our known risks described in our Annual Report.
There can be no assurance of continued growthoperations in Israel and our performance in Israel depends on, among other things, our ability to continue to import cannabis into Israel and our joint venture partners.
While our revenue in Israel has experienced a recent period of significant growth, our prior performance isbusiness may not indicative of any potential future results in Israel. There can be no assurance that our recent growth in the Israeli market can be sustained or will continue. Our ability to manage and sustain revenue growth in Israel will depend on a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including, but not limited to, our ability to continue to import cannabis into Israel, changes in laws and regulations respecting the cultivation, production and marketing of dried flower, pre-rolls and oils in Israel, increased competition, our ability to produce sufficient volumes of our products to meet customer demand and our ability to maintain or grow our market share in Israel. Any of these factors could materially and negatively impact our growth in Israel.

In connection with the Realignment, we have begun to further leverage our strategic joint venture with Cronos GrowCo. Our current efforts to wind-down and ultimately exit the Stayner Facility have increased the importance of Cronos GrowCo to our business and operations. Once the Stayner Facility is closed, Cronos GrowCo’s production facilities will be our principal source of raw materials. Therefore, our performance in Israel is reliant on our ability to acquire such raw materials on a timely and cost-effective basis from Cronos GrowCo and to continue to import such raw materials and cannabis products to Israel from Cronos GrowCo. There is no guarantee that we will be able to successfully executefunction at profitable levels, or at all, and our strategy to expand production at Cronos GrowCo or that we will be able to obtain the regulatory approvals, licenses and permits required for both the export of cannabis from Canada and the import of cannabis into Israel. See “–We may not successfully execute our production capacity strategy” included under Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of the Annual Report.
Additionally, our performancebusiness in, Israel depends on the results of Cronosoperations from, Israel which holds the certificates and corresponding permits required for the cultivation, production and marketing of cannabis in Israel and is responsible for distributing PEACE NATURALS® branded cannabis products to the Israeli medical cannabis market. Cronos Israel is a strategic joint venture operating in a foreign country and is therefore subject to the all the risks normally associated with an investment in a joint venture and the conduct of business in a foreign country, any of which could materially and negatively impact the performance of Cronos Israel. See “– Our use of joint ventures may expose us to risks associated with jointly owned investments” and “– Investments and joint ventures outside of Canada and the U.S. are subject to the risks normally associated with any conduct of business in foreign countries, including varying degrees of political, legal, regulatory and economic risk” included under Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of the Annual Report for a discussion of the risks relating to joint ventures and foreign investments.would be adversely affected.
