  • Net revenue in Q3 FY2025 decreased 5% compared to the third quarter ended December 31, 2023 ("Q3 FY2024"). Excluding net revenue from businesses divested during the prior fiscal year, net revenue increased 8% driven primarily by growth in Canada medical, international markets and Storz & Bickel.

  • Gross margin decreased by 400 basis points ("bps") to 32% in Q3 FY2025 compared to Q3 FY2024 primarily due to the incremental costs related to the Claybourne infused pre-roll launch in Canada, and an increase in indirect costs of Storz & Bickel vaporizer devices partially offset by stronger sales of higher-margin medical cannabis products.

  • Operating loss from continuing operations was $24MM in Q3 FY2025, representing an improvement of 61% compared to Q3 FY2024. The improvement in Q3 FY2025 was driven primarily by a reduction in operating expenses.

  • Adjusted EBITDA loss of $3MM in Q3 FY2025, representing a 61% improvement year-over-year, driven primarily by the realized benefit of the Company's cost savings program.

  • Free cash flow was an outflow of $28MM in Q3 FY2025, representing a 17% improvement compared to Q3 FY2024, primarily driven by a reduction in cash interest expenses.

  • Total debt decreased to $442MM at December 31, 2024 from $554MM at September 30, 2024 primarily due to an early prepayment that reduced the Company's senior secured term loan.
