Added
In addition, we are relentlessly focused on managing our cost of goods and expenses in order to maintain our strong financial position. Trends and Other Factors Affecting Our Business Canadian cannabis market trends. The cannabis industry in Canada continues to evolve at a rapid pace during the early periods following the federal legalization of adult-use cannabis.
Removed
Our ability to cultivate, process, and sell medical and adult-use cannabis, cannabis-derived extracts and derivative cannabis products in Canada is dependent on maintaining the licenses issued to our operating subsidiaries by Health Canada under the Cannabis Regulations, or CR. These licenses allow us to produce cannabis in bulk and finished forms and to sell and distribute such cannabis in Canada.
Added
Through analysis of the current market conditions, the following key trends have emerged and are anticipated to influence the near-term future in the industry: - Price compression. We have historically seen price compression in the market, when compared to the prior fiscal year, which was driven by intense competition from the approximately 1,000 Licensed Producers in Canada.
Removed
They also allow us to export medical cannabis in bulk and finished form to and from specified jurisdictions around the world, subject to obtaining, for each specific shipment, an export approval from Health Canada and an import approval (or no objection notice) from the applicable regulatory authority in the country to or from which the export or import is being made.
Added
The price compression year over year has reduced the Company's revenue by approximately $32.8 million for the year ended May 31, 2023. - Excise taxes.
Removed
These CR licenses and other approvals are valid for fixed periods and we must obtain renewals on a periodic basis.
Added
Given the impacts of the above-referenced price compression, excise tax has grown to become a larger component of net revenue as it is predominantly computed as a fixed price on grams sold rather than as a percentage of the selling price.
Removed
There can be no assurance that existing licenses will be renewed or new licenses obtained on the same or similar terms as our existing licenses, nor can there be any assurance that Health Canada will continue to issue import or export permits on the same terms or on the same timeline, or that other countries will allow, or continue to allow, imports or exports.
Added
The Cannabis Council of Canada has formed an Excise Task Force to present these challenges to the Ministry of Finance in Canada and continues to pursue reform. Additionally, as many as two-thirds of Canadian licensed producers had excise tax deficits owed, which they were unable to pay on time.
Removed
We are also required to obtain and maintain certain permits, licenses or other approvals from regulatory agencies in countries and markets outside of Canada in which we operate or to which we export our product, including, in the case of certain countries, the ability to demonstrate compliance with EU-GMP standards.
Added
The Company believes this will be a key element of potential consolidation in the industry and we believe long term there is a possibility of some level of reform but it will likely not occur in the next 12 months; - Market share .
Removed
We have received certification of compliance with EU-GMP standards for cultivation and production at Tilray Portugal and Aphria RX in Germany, as well as Part II EU-GMP certification for Aphria One and Part I EU-GMP certification for ARA-Avanti Rx Analytics Inc.’s (“Avanti”) approved facility.
Added
Tilray continues to maintain its market leadership position in Canada and we experienced an increase in share from 8.1% to an 8.3% market share, from the immediately preceding quarter, as reported by Hifyre data for all provinces excluding Quebec where Weedcrawler was deemed more accurate.
Removed
These GMP certified facilities are subject to extensive ongoing compliance reviews to ensure that we continue to maintain compliance with current GMP standards. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to comply with these standards.
Added
This increase in the final quarter of the year, was attributed to our relentless dedication to our innovation pipeline which we anticipate to keep driving market share increases in the coming fiscal year.
Removed
Moreover, future governmental actions in countries where we operate, or export products, may limit or altogether restrict the import and/or export of cannabis products. Any future cannabis production facilities that we operate in Canada or elsewhere will also be subject to separate licensing requirements under the CR or applicable local requirements.
Added
This increase was offset by challenges in the province of Quebec during the year, which had a negative impact on adult-use revenue during the year. 44 - Change in potency preferences . Evolving consumer demand for higher potency products has caused a substantial shift in consumer purchasing patterns.
Removed
Although we believe that we will meet the requirements for future renewals of our existing licenses and obtain requisite licenses for future facilities, there can be no assurance that existing licenses will be renewed or new licenses obtained on the same or similar terms as our 17 existing licenses, nor can there be any assurance that Health Canada will continue to issue import or export permits on the same terms or on the same timeline, or that other countries will allow, or continue to allow, imports or exports.
Added
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 year which continue to be newly listed in the provinces during the remainder of the fiscal year to contend with this change in demand.
Removed
An agency’s denial of or delay in issuing or renewing a permit, license or other approval, or revocation or substantial modification of an existing permit, license or approval, could restrict or prevent us from continuing the affected operations, or limit the export and/or import of our cannabis products.
Added
These identified trends have had impacts on the current period results of operations and are discussed in greater detail in the respective section. International cannabis market trends.
Removed
In addition, the export and import of cannabis is subject to United Nations treaties establishing country-by-country national estimates and our export and import permits are subject to these estimates which could limit the amount of cannabis we can export to any particular country.
Added
The cannabis industry in Europe is 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 legalize adult-use cannabis (Germany, Portugal, Luxembourg and Czech Republic), some are engaging in an experiment for adult-use (Netherlands, Switzerland) and some are debating regulations for cannabinoid-based medicine (France, Spain, Italy, and the United Kingdom).
Removed
Further , our facilities are subject to ongoing inspections by the governing regulatory authority to monitor our compliance with their licensing requirements. Our existing licenses and any new licenses that we may obtain in the future in Canada or other jurisdictions may be revoked or restricted in the event that we are found not to be in compliance.
Added
In Europe, we believe that, despite continuing recessionary economic conditions and the Russian conflict with Ukraine, cannabis legalization (both medicinal and adult-use) will continue to gain traction albeit more slowly than originally expected.
Removed
Should we fail to comply with the applicable regulatory requirements or with conditions set out under our licenses, should our licenses not be renewed when required, be renewed on different terms, or be revoked, we may not be able to continue producing or distributing cannabis in Canada or other jurisdictions or to import or export cannabis products.
Added
We also continue to believe that Tilray remains uniquely positioned to maintain and gain significant market share in these markets with its infrastructure and its investments, which is comprised of two EU-GMP cultivation facilities 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.
Removed
In addition, we may be subject to enforcement proceedings resulting from a failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements in Canada or other jurisdictions, which could result in damage awards, the suspension, withdrawal or non-renewal of our existing approvals or denial of future approvals, recall of products, the imposition of future operating restrictions on our business or operations or the imposition of fines or other penalties.
Added
Today, Germany remains the largest medical cannabis market in Europe. The following is a summary of the state of cannabis legalization within Europe: Germany . The new coalition government led by chancellor Olaf Schulz declared its intention to legalize adult-use cannabis use, which aims to regulate the controlled dispensing of cannabis for adult-use consumption.
Removed
Government regulation is evolving, and unfavorable changes or lack of commercial legalization could impact our ability to carry on our business as currently conducted and the potential expansion of our business. We operate in a highly regulated and rapidly evolving industry.
Added
In late October 2022, the German government published key details of its plan to legalize and regulate adult-use cannabis, including what Health Minister Karl Lauterbach described as “complete” cultivation within the country.
Removed
The successful execution of our business objectives is contingent upon compliance with all applicable laws and regulatory requirements in Canada (including the Cannabis Act and CR), Europe and other jurisdictions, and obtaining all required regulatory approvals for the production, sale, import and export of our cannabis products.
Added

The laws, regulations and guidelines generally applicable to the cannabis industry domestically and internationally may change in ways currently unforeseen. Any amendment to or replacement of existing laws, regulations, guidelines or policies may cause adverse effects to our operations, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. The federal legislative framework pertaining to the Canadian cannabis market is still very new.
Added
Lauterbach advised that the proposal had been revised and that the new plan is a two-part model, which appears to be designed in order to legalize cannabis as broadly as possibly without running afoul of European Union rules.
Removed

Removed
The complaint alleges that Tilray and the individual defendants overstated the anticipated advantages of the Company’s revenue sharing agreement with Authentic Brands Group (“ABG”), announced on January 15, 2019, and that the plaintiff suffered losses when Tilray’s stock price dropped after Tilray recognized an impairment with respect to the ABG deal on March 2, 2020.

Removed

Trends and Other Factors Affecting Our Business 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 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).
Removed
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.
Removed
We also continue to believe that Tilray remains uniquely positioned to win in these markets with its infrastructure with EU-GMP cultivation facilities in two countries within Europe, our distribution network and our demonstrated commitment to the availability, quality and safety of our products. Today, Germany remains the largest medical cannabis market in Europe.
Removed
The following is a summary of the state of cannabis legalization within Europe: Germany . The new coalition government led by chancellor Olaf Schulz declared its intention to legalize adult-use cannabis, which aims to regulate the controlled dispensing of cannabis for adult-use consumption.
Removed
In June, a consultation process initiated by the federal Government entitled "Cannabis - but safe!" marked a first milestone on the way to the first draft of the new law, the publication of which Health Minister Karl Lauterbach has announced for the Fall of 2022.
Removed
Tilray is well-positioned in Germany to provide consistent and sustainable cannabis products for the adult-use market whereby we can satisfy any demand in our Aphria RX facility located in Neumunster and our EU-GMP-certified production facility in Portugal. Malta .
Removed
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. 47 Although commercial sales are still forbidden, such achievement marks an important cornerstone for the cannabis industry in Europe. Luxembourg.
Removed
The government stated intentions to legalize adult-use cannabis in October 2021, thereby allowing cultivation, possession, and sale of seeds. However, legislation delays are due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Luxemburg government has refined its draft bill, which we believe will be enacted in calendar year 2022. Italy .
Removed
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.
Removed
In June 2022, the Lower House justice panel approved a bill legalizing the cultivation of up to four cannabis plants for personal use. The general discussion on the draft law on the self-cultivation of cannabis for personal use and the reduction of penalties for minor offenses in the House of Representatives has been ongoing since June.
Removed
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 2022 to conduct scientific studies on the cannabis market and its impact on Swiss society.
Removed
In June 2022, the Swiss Government decided to lift the ban on cannabis for medical use from 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 .
Removed
The Spanish Congress' Health Committee has recently approved a Medical Cannabis Report that paves the way for a government-sponsored bill on medical cannabis.
Removed
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 .
Removed
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. An official statute for medical cannabis is expected to be issued in the Fall 2022, which will facilitate better access, coverage, and greater inclusion for French patients.
Removed
Tilray supplies the products for this experiment from its EU-GMP facility in Portugal. Acquisitions and synergies. We have grown, and strive to continue to expand our business, through a combination of organic growth and acquisition.
Removed
While we continue to execute against our strategic initiatives that we believe will result in the long-term, sustainable growth and value to our stockholders, we 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 as well as expand our existing capabilities.
Removed
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.
Removed
For the year ended May 31, 2022, we incurred $31.7 million of transaction costs. • In connection with the Tilray-Aphria merger, 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.
Removed
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.
Removed
Due to the Company’s decisive and impactful actions in connection with the integration of Tilray and Aphria, we overachieved the identified $80 million of cost synergies before our fiscal year-end. As of the date of this filing, we achieved $85 million in cost-savings on a run-rate basis and $60 million in actual cash-savings.
Removed
Additionally, we have identified an additional $15 million of synergies, bringing the total identified synergies to $100 million, which we expect to achieve by the end of our fiscal year ending May 31, 2023 to drive further stockholder value. 48 • 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.
Removed
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. • 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.
Removed
Specifically, we reduced our redundant commercial office space by repudiating a Toronto office lease, terminating our Minneapolis lease and sub-leasing a portion of our Seattle office lease. Additionally, we sold a vacant land property adjacent to our Nanaimo, Canada, facility with the first closing completed in this fiscal quarter for a purchase price of $3.7 million.
Removed
During the year ended May 31, 2022, we also executed on other strategic transactions, as follows: • The acquisition, through a newly formed limited partnership, Superhero Acquisition Corp. (“Superhero”) of an aggregate principal amount of approximately U.S. $165.8 million of outstanding senior secured convertible notes and the associated warrants, all of which were originally issued by MedMen Enterprises Inc.
Removed
Tilray’s interest in Superhero represents rights to senior secured convertible notes and the associated warrants held by the Superhero. • 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.
Removed
Breckenridge Distillery joins SweetWater Brewing Company as the cornerstones of Tilray’s beverage alcohol segment and further diversifies the company’s net revenue mix.
Removed
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.
Removed
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 facility and integrated restaurant and live music venue. • Building upon SweetWaters’s strategic plan to expand into all 50 states within the U.S., we acquired the Alpine and Green Flash brands, two iconic West Coast craft beer brands that boast award-winning brews.
Removed
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.
Removed
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 July 12, 2022, Tilray closed the transaction for a strategic alliance with HEXO Corp. (“HEXO”).
Removed
Through this alliance, both companies are expected to achieve substantial cost saving initiatives and production efficiencies, with a target combined saving of $80 million within two years to be shared equally between the two companies.
Removed
Additionally, the company acquired 100% of the remaining outstanding principal balance of $173.7 million of the secured convertible note issued by HEXO to HT Investments MA LLC (“HTI”). The purchase price paid by Tilray Brands to HTI for the Amended Note was US$155 million, reflecting a 10.8% discount on the outstanding principal amount.
Removed
The conversion price of the HEXO Note of CAD$0.40 per share, implies that, as of filing, Tilray Brands would have the right to convert into approximately 48% of the outstanding common stock of HEXO, on a non-diluted basis.
Removed
The purchase price was satisfied, in part, by Tilray Brands’ issuance to HTI of a $50 million convertible unsecured note (the “Tilray Convertible Note”) and approximately 33.3 million shares in Class 2 common stock of Tilray Brands. 49 The Tilray Convertible Note bears interest at a rate of 4.00% per annum, calculated and paid on a quarterly basis and matures on September 1, 2023.
Removed
The Coronavirus ("COVID-19") Pandemic, Its Impact on Us Tilray continues to closely monitor and respond, where possible, to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. As the global situation continues to change rapidly, ensuring the well-being of our employees remains one of our top priorities.
Removed
The Company also remains committed to providing best in class care and service to our valued patients and consumers – facilities continue to remain open and operational with heightened measures in place to protect the health and safety of employees, vendors, partners and their families.
Removed
The Company is committed to enhancing these measures and implementing other necessary practices as the situation warrants. COVID-19 impact on our distribution businesses Our medical distribution businesses located in Densborn , Germany and Buenos Aires, Argentina continue to remain open during the COVID-19 pandemic as they are considered essential services by their local governments.
Removed
The sales and associated EBITDA for these businesses were negatively impacted by government-imposed restrictions, which included, among others, orders for people to stay at home.
Removed
This resulted in a general decrease in elective medical procedures and surgeries and in-person medical visits, which in turn resulted in, the Company experiencing and potentially continuing to experience decreases in revenue in its global distribution businesses.
Removed
Limitations on elective medical procedures and lower frequency patient visits to physicians and pharmacies continue to impact our global distribution businesses as doctors have less opportunity to write new prescriptions.
Removed
Further, due to government-imposed restrictions, during the course of the fiscal year, there were periods when CC Pharma was not able to source inventory from surrounding countries in sufficient quantities to support its sales demand, which also impacted its revenue.
Removed
COVID-19 impact on our cannabis businesses 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.
Removed
This consumer model of purchasing eroded the sales of our higher quality, higher priced brands resulting in our market share reduction during the year. Our Canadian medical cannabis business experienced a slight uptick in patient demand.
Removed
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.
Removed
Business Acquisitions Acquisition of Sweetwater On November 25, 2020, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Four Twenty Corporation, completed the purchase of all the shares of SW Brewing Company, LLC which is the holding company of 100% of the common shares of SweetWater, one of the largest independent craft brewers in the U.S.
Removed
The purchase price consisted of cash consideration of $255,543, share consideration of 8,232,810 shares, and additional cash consideration of up to $66,000 contingent on SweetWater achieving specified EBITDA targets. The acquisition of SweetWater gave the Company an opportunity to build brand awareness in the U.S. ahead of federal legalization, amongst other objectives.
Removed

Removed

Removed
This increase in revenue from medical cannabis products is primarily driven by the contributions of legacy Tilray’s medical cannabis business resulting from the business combination on April 30, 2021.
Removed
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.
Removed
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-rec and the price compression therein. On a constant currency basis, medical cannabis revenue would have increased by 22%, or $5.5 million from the prior year.
Removed
Revenue from adult-use cannabis products: During the year ended, May 31, 2022, our gross revenue from Canadian adult-use cannabis product decreased 6% to $209.5 million compared to revenue of $222.9 million for the prior year.
Removed
The decrease in gross revenue from Canadian adult-use cannabis is primarily driven by the following series of factors: • We continued to experience disruptions to consumer’s purchasing patterns as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Removed
The decline was partially 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; • We also experienced additional declines in average gross selling price due to increased price-based competition due to the high volume of new entrants in the market.
Removed
Due to this increased competition in the market, we maintained our market leadership for the year, but experienced a decline in market share to 11.7%, as reported by Hifyre data; and • The decrease is also attributable to the decline in the Canadian dollar from the prior year ended May 31, 2021.
Removed
On a constant currency basis, adult-use cannabis revenue would have decreased by 5%, or $10.4 million from the prior year. These factors were partially offset by the impact of the Arrangement, by including legacy Tilray revenue.
Removed
We continue to focus on expanding our product offerings to accommodate the changes in our adult-use customers, during the first quarter of fiscal 2022, 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 now represents 53 the entire Tilray portfolio in Quebec.
Removed
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. We also completed the strategic alliance with HEXO on July 12, 2022. We plan to leverage this relationship to allow us to identify production efficiencies and generate cost savings.
Removed
The alliance will also allow Tilray to enter into new product categories by utilizing the manufacturing capabilities of both parties. It is our expectation that as the Canadian adult-use cannabis market continues to mature, there will be consolidation and or reduction in our competitors enabling us to reclaim our market share.
Removed
We believe that as a market leader, our capabilities will enable us to outlast the competition and successfully evolve with the industry. Wholesale cannabis revenue: Revenue from wholesale cannabis products for the year ended May 31, 2022, was $6.9 million as compared to $6.6 million in the year ended May 31, 2021.
Removed
The Company continues to believe that wholesale cannabis revenue will remain subject to quarter-to-quarter variability and is based on opportunistic sales. On a constant currency basis, medical cannabis revenue would have increased by 6%, or $0.4 million from the prior year.
Removed
International cannabis revenue: Revenue from international cannabis products for the year ended May 31, 2022, was $53.9 million compared to $9.3 million in the year ended May 31, 2021, an increase of 483%. On a constant currency basis, international cannabis revenue would have increased by 505%, or $47.0 million from the prior year.
Removed
The increase is, in part, due to the fact that the prior year only included one month of legacy Tilray’s larger international cannabis business, while the current year reflects a full 12 months of operations. Overall, in Europe, we believe that, despite continuing COVID-19 pressure, cannabis legalization (both medicinal and adult-use) will continue to gain traction.
Removed
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, our distribution network with CC Pharma and our demonstrated commitment to the consistency, quality and safety of our products.
