Our Strategy and Outlook

As a leading global cannabis-lifestyle and consumer packaged goods company, we are setting the standard for brand development, product quality, innovation and industrial scale cultivation for the production of cannabis grown in environmentally responsible conditions.  We have made significant investmentsbelieve that we possess the strategic footprint and operational scale necessary to establish Tilray ascompete more effectively in today’s consolidating cannabis market with a scientifically rigorousstrong, flexible balance sheet, strong cash balance, and access to capital, which we believe gives us the ability to accelerate growth and deliver long-term sustainable value for stockholders.  

Our overall strategy is to leverage this scale and footprint, together with our expertise and capabilities to drive market share, achieve industry-leading, profitable growth and build sustainable, long-term shareholder value in each of the four pillars of our business – medical cannabis, brandadult-use cannabis, beverage alcohol and are committedwellness. In order to quality and excellence in every stage of cultivation, production, packaging, and selling. We have invested significant capital to develop innovative cultivation practices, proprietary product formulations, and automated production processes.

We are committed to establishing a leadership team and corporate culture that promotes inclusion asensure long-term sustainable growth, we continue to focus on leveraging consumer insights, drive category


management leadership and assess growth opportunities, including the introduction of our product into new geographies, new innovation and strategic partnerships. In addition, we are relentlessly focused on managing our cost of goods and expenses in order to maintain our strong financial position.  

To achieve our vision of building the leading global cannabis-lifestyle and consumer packaged goods company that is changing people’s lives for the better – one person at a time – by inspiring and empowering the worldwide community to live their very best life, we will focus on the following strategies:

Build global brands that lead, legitimize and define the future within each of our pillars. As the markets where cannabis is legal today continue to grow and develop and as cannabis legalizes in more countries around the world, we see unique opportunities to introduce, market and distribute our broad portfolio of differentiated brands, that will appeal to a diverse base of patients and consumers. We believe we are well positioned to develop leading global brands and drive sustainable growth.

Develop innovative products and form factors that change the way the world consumes cannabis.Across our pillars, we plan to continue to develop innovative products that possess the most consumer demand and are truly differentiated from our competitors, while optimizing our production capabilities. We will continue to invest in innovation in order to continue to provide our patients and consumers with a differentiated portfolio of products that exceeds their expectations and meets their needs.

Grow and leverage our investment in craft beer, spirits and hemp-based food.  Within the U.S., our strategic acquisitions of our beverage alcohol are the cornerstone of our longer-term U.S. strategy and an important step towards achieving our vision to change people's lives for the better by inspiring and empowering the worldwide community to live their very best life.  In addition to acquiring strong brands and profitable businesses, our strategic investments in beverage alcohol and food in the U.S. provides us with a platform and infrastructure within the U.S. to enable us to access the U.S. market more quickly in the event of federal legalization.  In advance of federal legalization, we are focused on leading the craft beer segment, including growing our SweetWater, Alpine and Green Flash brands by expanding our distribution footprint into new territories, focusing on new product development and innovation that delights our consumers and building brand awareness of, and equity in, our existing adult-use cannabis brands in the U.S. ahead of federal legalization of cannabis by leveraging the SweetWater manufacturing and distribution infrastructure.  We have also diversified our presence in the beverage alcohol space through the purchase of Breckenridge, known for its award-winning bourbon whiskey collection and innovative craft spirits portfolio.  We seek to drive growth in our Manitoba Harvest brand and other hemp-based food and ingredients products by leveraging our consumer insights and consumer marketing activities, new product development as well as educating the consumer on the benefits from hemp-based foods. In the event of federal legalization in the U.S., we expect to be well-positioned to compete in the U.S. cannabis market given our existing strong brands and distribution system in addition to our track record of growth in consumer-packaged goods and cannabis products.    

Expand the availability of pure, precise, and predictable medical cannabis products for patients around the world.Since 2014, we have seen an increase in the demand for medical cannabis from both patients, doctors and governments in conjunction with a shift in the medical community, which is increasingly recognizing medical cannabis as a viable option for the treatment of patients suffering from a variety of health conditions. We area focused on driving accessibility to high-quality medical cannabis that is accessible to all. Internationally, we have made significant investments in our operations within Europe and we are well-positioned to pursue international growth opportunities with our strong medical cannabis brands, distribution network in Germany with CC Pharma, and end-to-end European Union Good Manufacturing Practices (“EU-GMP”) supply chain, which includes EU-GMP production facilities in Portugal and Germany. We intend to continue to maximize the utilization of our existing assets and investments in connection with the development and execution of our international growth plans, while leveraging our cannabis expertise and well-established medical brands. Through our well positioned cultivation facilities in Portugal and Germany, we intend to fuel the demand for our EU GMP certified medical grade cannabis internationally. By building on this foundation, we strive to maintain our leadership position in the international cannabis industry.

Leverage our operational scale providing low-cost, high quality production. We believe we have the operational scale necessary to compete more effectively in today’s consolidating cannabis market.  Our


state-of-the-art facilities are among the lowest cost production operations with the capabilities to produce a complete portfolio of form factors and products, including flower, pre-roll, capsules, vapes, edibles and beverages.   We also have a strong, flexible balance sheet, cash balance and access to capital, which we believe will give us the ability to accelerate growth and deliver long-term sustainable value for our stockholders.

Reportable Segments

Our business is primarily organized around our product categories, each of which have different target consumers, go-to-market strategies, and margins.  This enables us to track and measure our success and build processes for repeatable success in each of these categories. As a result, we have defined our reporting segments on a product category basis, as this aligns with how our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) manages our business, including resource allocation and expand our footprint. Diversity is a priority for our company, and we seek out talented people from a variety of backgrounds to staff our teams in all our markets.

We believe our success is a result of our global strategy, our multinational supply chain and distribution network, and our methodical commitment to research, innovation, quality, and operational excellence. We believe recognized and trusted brands distributed through multinational supply chains will be best positioned to become

global market leaders. Our strategy is to build our brands and be a global market leader by consistently producing high-quality, differentiated products on a large scale, and distributing them around the world.

(“Aphria”), pursuant to which Tilray will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Aphria pursuant to a plan of arrangement (the “Plan of Arrangement”) under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “Arrangement”).

The obligations of Tilray and Aphria to consummate the Arrangement are subject to customary conditions, including, but not limited to, (a) obtaining the required approval of the shareholders of Tilray and Aphria, respectively, (b) obtaining an interim order and final order from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice approving the Arrangement, (c) the absence of any injunction or similar restraint prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of the Arrangement or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement, (d) obtaining all required regulatory approvals, (e) no material adverse effect having occurred, (f) subject to certain materiality exceptions, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of each party, and (g) the performance in all material respects by each party of its obligations under the Arrangement Agreement. The Arrangement is expected to close in the second quarter of calendar year 2021 following the receipt of all requisite regulatory approvals, as well as court approval of the Arrangement.

In connection with the proposed transaction, Aphria will file a management information circular, and Tilray will file a proxy statement on Schedule 14A containing important information about the proposed transaction and related matters. Additionally, Aphria and Tilray will file other relevant materials in connection with the proposed transaction with the applicable securities regulatory authorities. Investors and security holders of Aphria and Tilray are urged to carefully read the entire management information circular and proxy statement (including any amendments or supplements to such documents) before making any voting decision with respect to the proposed transaction because they contain important information about the proposed transaction and the parties to the transaction. The Aphria management information circular and the Tilray proxy statement will be mailed to the Aphria and Tilray shareholders, respectively, and available on the SEDAR and EDGAR profiles of the respective companies.

We have prepared this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K as if we were going to remain an independent company.

Cannabis

We are a leader in the legally licensed cannabis market, which includes Canadian Adult-Use, Canadian Medical, International Medical, and B2B bulk sales. We maintain a number of brands in each of these categories.

Hemp

We are a leader in the unlicensed hemp products market, which includes hemp foods and cannabidiol (“CBD”) products. Our hemp food products are available in 23 countries and our CBD products are available in certain states in the United States depending on local laws and regulations.

Our Opportunity

We are approaching our business from a long-term, global perspective and see opportunities to:

Build global brands that lead, legitimize and define the future of cannabis and hemp. Historically, cannabis has been an illegal, unbranded product. As the legal cannabis market develops, and as both cannabis and hemp products and industries become more established in more countries around the world, we see unique opportunities to create, market, and distribute a broad portfolio of differentiated brands that will appeal to a diverse customer base of patients and consumers. We believe we are positioned to develop dominant global brands and expand the addressable market for our products. We also believe the emergence of the legal cannabis and hemp industries may result in a shift of consumer behavior and discretionary spending to favor cannabis and hemp products versus other products. This shift may result in the disruption of the pharmaceutical, alcohol, tobacco, and functional food and beverages industries as patients and consumers look to supplement or replace products from these categories with cannabis and hemp products. Recognizing the potential of this disruption, several large companies in these sectors have formed partnerships or made investments to gain exposure to the legal cannabis industry including: Anheuser-Busch InBev (“AB InBev”), Apotex Inc., Altria Group, Inc., Constellation Brands, Inc., Imperial Brands PLC, and Molson Coors Beverage Company. Additionally, several alcohol companies have noted in regulatory filings that legal cannabis could have an adverse impact on their business, including AB InBev, Boston Beer Company, and Molson Coors Beverage Company. We also believe many patients rely on medical cannabis as a substitute to opioids and other narcotics. This has been validated by a number of our observational patient studies as well as peer-reviewed academic research which has demonstrated the legalization of cannabis has coincided with a decline in the use of opioid-related products in some jurisdictions. Lastly, we believe functional food and beverage products that contain or are enhanced with vitamins, caffeine, electrolytes, probiotics and other additives and ingredients, will see increased competition from products containing cannabinoids such as CBD. Specifically, as the characteristics of cannabinoids gain acceptance and appreciation, we believe many consumers will choose cannabinoid-enhanced beverages in favor of sports drinks or energy drinks.

Invest in markets where cannabis and hemp products are federally legal or are expected to be federally legal. Our goal is to increase our total addressable market size as countries around the world continue to legalize cannabis for medical and adult-use. To date, 42 countries have formally legalized medical cannabis programs for either research or patient access and two countries, Canada and Uruguay, have implemented adult-use access for cannabis. The Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (“Farm Bill”), passed into law in December 2018, permits the cultivation of hemp and the production of hemp-derived CBD and other cannabinoids in the United States. Combined with the growing global acceptance of hemp and hemp-derived CBD products, we believe there is a significant market opportunity in hemp and hemp-derived CBD products globally. We expect to monitor, identify and selectively invest in compelling opportunities that will strengthen our leadership position and allow us to further leverage our February 2019 purchase of FHF Holdings Ltd. (“Manitoba Harvest”), a leading manufacturer and distributor of hemp foods and supplements across the United States and Canada.

Develop innovative products and form factors that change the way the world consumes cannabis and hemp. We believe the future of the cannabis and hemp industries will primarily focus on non-combustible products that will offer patients and consumers alternatives to smoking. Similar to our beverage partnership with AB InBev, we anticipate future opportunities to partner with established pharmaceutical, food, beverage, and consumer product companies to continue to develop new non-combustible form factors that will appeal to consumers who are not interested in smoking cannabis. By developing new non-combustible products, we believe we will expand our addressable market.

Expand the availability of pure, precise, and predictable medical cannabis products for patients around the world. Since 2014, we have seen a significant increase in demand from both patients and governments for pharmaceutical-grade cannabis products. As medical cannabis is increasingly recognized as a viable treatment option for patients suffering from a variety of diseases and conditions, we are well-positioned to expand the availability of these products to more patients in more countries. Importantly, because we operate two fully GMP certified facilities in Canada and Portugal and because many countries require medical products to be sourced from GMP-certified facilities, we are well-positioned to grow market share in the European and other international medical cannabis markets.

Foster mainstream acceptance of the therapeutic potential of medical cannabis and cannabinoid-based medicines. We see an opportunity to significantly expand the global market for medical cannabis products by conducting clinical research into the safety and efficacy of medical cannabis for a diverse range of conditions. By generating clinical data demonstrating the safety and efficacy of medical cannabis and cannabinoid-based medicines for various conditions, we see an opportunity to significantly expand and dominate the global medical cannabis market.

Our Strengths

We are a global pioneer with a multinational supply chain and distribution network. We were the first cannabis producer to export medical cannabis from North America and legally import cannabis into the European Union. We have licenses to cultivate cannabis in Canada and Portugal. Our medical products are currently available in 17 countries spanning five continents. To achieve our goal of becoming a global cannabis leader, we have various signed agreements with established global industry leaders, including:

AB InBev - In December 2018, we entered into a research partnership in Canada with AB InBev, the world’s leading brewer, to research non-alcoholic beverages containing THC and CBD. AB InBev’s participation is through Labatt Breweries of Canada and Tilray’s participation is through our wholly owned subsidiary, High Park Farms Ltd. In 2019, the two companies created Fluent Beverage Company (“Fluent”) as a joint venture to develop and commercialize non-alcohol CBD-infused beverages. To date, Fluent has successfully launched ready to drink CBD-infused sparkling beverages and tea bags in Canada.

Cannfections - In October 2019, High Park announced a strategic partnership with Cannfections Group Inc., whose founder is from a leading company in the confectionery space, with 85 years of experience developing and producing a variety of celebrated confectionery brands. Through our Cannfections partnership we have successfully launched THC infused edible products, including chocolates and gummies, in the Canadian market and continue to develop new product offerings.

We have agreements in place to supply adult-use cannabis to eleven provinces and territories and have been expanding our distribution, and product offerings and formats, since adult-use was legalized in Canada. We intend to continue to increase our distribution of best-in-class brands and products in the Canadian adult-use market.

We have scientifically rigorous processes in place to produce high quality medical cannabis products and have received permits to supply patients and researchers on five continents. Governments in 17 countries have now issued permits allowing our medical cannabis products to be available for distribution to patients. We believe governments have approved the importation of our products in part because of our reputation for being a scientifically rigorous medical cannabis company known for delivering safe, high-quality products. With the guidance of our Medical Advisory Board comprised of highly accomplished researchers and physicians specializing in autism, epilepsy, cancer and dermatology, we are committed to advancing scientific knowledge about the therapeutic potential of cannabis, and have successfully received federal authorizations to supply cannabinoid products to clinical trials in Australia, the United States and Canada.

We have secured the exclusive rights to produce and distribute a portfolio of certain adult-use brands and products to Canadian consumers in the adult-use market. The brand licensing agreement between a wholly owned subsidiary of ours and Docklight Brands, Inc. provides us with intellectual property that we believe may give us a competitive advantage in the adult-use market in Canada. The brand licensing agreement includes the rights to commercialize recognized brand names and proprietary product formulations for a wide range of products.

We have a successful track record of innovation within our industry. We believe our commitment to research and innovation at this early stage of the cannabis and hemp industries’ development differentiates us and gives us a competitive advantage. We have invested significant capital to develop innovative cultivation practices, world class GMP certified facilities, and innovative product formulations.

We have developed a rigorous production process to ensure product consistency and quality as we increase the scale of our operations globally. We pride ourselves on consistently delivering high-quality products with precise chemical compositions. We were the first cannabis company to have fully GMP-certified cultivation and production facilities in both North America and Europe. GMP certification provides regulators and health care providers with assurance that our medical products are safe, high-quality products that meet rigorous production standards.

We have a very experienced management team. We believe our management team is one of the most accomplished in the cannabis industry. We recognize the cannabis and hemp industries are in the early stages of development and we are taking a long-term, global view as we position ourselves for global success. Our management team has significant experience across a variety of consumer product categories and is well versed in evaluating potential transactions, establishing commercial partnerships, and exploiting growth opportunities. We are analytically driven and pride ourselves on making decisions that we believe will grow our business over the long term and allow us to establish our Company as leader in the cannabis and hemp categories. We continue to identify and acquire talent from leading global companies to join our team and are confident we have the diversity and depth of experience to propel Tilray into a global leadership position.

Our Growth Strategy

We aspire to build the world’s most trusted and valuable global cannabis and hemp company through the following key strategies:

Leveraging our production capacity in North America and Europe to meet current and expected long-term demand growth. We have established a production footprint in North America and Europe that will allow us to efficiently respond to the anticipated increase in market demand for cannabis and hemp products globally. We have invested in sufficient cultivation capacity, processing, production automation, extraction, and packaging to meet current demand for our products and to achieve efficiencies as we optimize the use of these facilities.

Partnering with established distributors and retailers. As the industry continues to evolve, we anticipate the distribution of cannabis products will increasingly mirror the distribution of other pharmaceutical products and consumer packaged goods. To increase our scale efficiently and rapidly, we are partnering with established distributors and retailers globally.

Developing a differentiated portfolio of brands and products to appeal to diverse sets of patients and consumers. We are a global pioneer shaping the future of medical and adult-use cannabis and hemp products, by developing a portfolio of high-quality cannabinoid offerings, ranging from dried flower to oils, well-defined clinical preparations, edibles, beverages, and hemp-based food products and supplements. We will continue to invest in

innovation so we can offer the most differentiated and creative portfolio of brands and products to appeal to a wide variety of patients and consumers.

Expanding the addressable medical market by investing in clinical research and winning the trust of regulators, researchers and physicians in countries new to medical cannabis. We are expanding our addressable medical market by working collaboratively with regulators to implement safe access programs for patients. We provide clinical data to physicians and researchers on the safety and efficacy of medical cannabis to foster mainstream acceptance and enhance our reputation.

Maintaining a rigorous and relentless focus on operational excellence and product quality. We have developed quality management systems that enable us to meet the requirements of regulatory agencies in the markets where we sell and export products, and to consistently deliver high-quality products. As we continue to grow, we will leverage these investments while maintaining an industry leading level of safety and quality.

Continued innovation within our industry. We have at least 50 filed patents in the fields of cannabis processing technology, formulation, composition delivery system, and treatment methods. Our business relationships have expanded to include partnerships with consumer goods companies, distributors, and renowned research and development companies. We believe our strategic partnerships differentiate us and position us to become a dominant leader in product and process innovation and development, and product distribution. We also continue to establish partnerships with leading research institutions and our clinical trials continue to generate safety and efficacy data that can inform treatment decisions, lead to the development of new products, position us to register medicines for market authorization, and enable us to obtain insurance reimbursements where feasible.

Our Brands and Products

Our brand and product strategy centers on developing a broad portfolio of differentiated cannabis and hemp brands and products designed to appeal to diverse groups of patients and consumers. Our brand and product activities have beenare designed to comply with all local regulations and requirements, including applicable labelling and marketing restrictions. We will continue to comply with all applicable regulations as new form factors are introduced and new regulatory requirements are introduced.

Wholesale.In Canada, we are authorized to sell wholesale bulk and finished cannabis products to other licensees under the Cannabis Regulations. The bulk wholesale sales and distribution channel requires minimal selling, administrative, and fulfillment costs. Our focus on the right strain assortment, quality of flower, extraction capabilities and processing, enables us to drive wholesale channel opportunities for revenue growth. 

Changes in the Canadian market continue to result in more competitors moving towards an asset light model through the rationalization of cultivation facilities. As this transition occurs, the Company anticipates demand for its saleable flower to increase, providing new opportunities in the wholesale channel.   


We also intend to expand our capabilities outside of saleable flower, as our quality of extraction processes continue to grow into new categories including the latest in cannabis 3.0 products. We plan to be selective in choosing partners, with the intent to secure supply agreements to further optimize and drive efficiency within our supply chain and operations.  While we intend to pursue wholesale sales channels as a part of our adult-use and medical-use growth strategies in Canada, these sales are generallywill continue to be used to help balanceaid in balancing inventory levels.

We also have at least 100 additional trademarks filed and pending in several countries throughout the world. Additionally, as a result of our brand licensing agreement with Docklight Brands, Inc., we have exclusive access in Canada to a number of strong marks, both registered and applied-for, including Marley Natural.

Observational research program. We have implemented an extensive observational research program which includes large-scale prospective and cross-sectional studies in order to gather pre-clinical evidence on medical cannabis patient patterns of use, and the impact of that use on sleep, pain, mental health, quality of life, and the use of opioids/prescription drugs, alcohol, tobaccohemp seed and other substances. These studies includehemp-based food products, which are sold to retailers, wholesalers, and direct to consumers. We are a biennial national Canadian Cannabis Patient Survey (“CCPS”), the Tilray Observational Patient Study (“TOPS”),leading provider of hemp seeds and the Medical Cannabisrelated food products that are sold in Older Patients Study (“MCOPS”). This research takes placeover 17,000 retail locations in partnership with academic institutions in Canada and the United States and several otherCanada and available globally in 19 countries.

Beverage Alcohol Sales and Distribution

In the U.S., our craft beer, including SweetWater, Alpine and Green Flash, are distributed under a three-tier model utilized for beverage alcohol. Distribution points include approximately 29,000 off-premises retail locations ranging from independent bottle shops to national chains. SweetWater’s significant on-premises business allows consumers to enjoy its varietals in more than 10,000 restaurants and bars. Further, in addition to its traditional distribution footprint, SweetWater Elevated HAZY IPA is served on all Delta Air Lines flights nationwide plus internationally, totaling more than 50 countries across six continents which have served to extend SweetWater’s brand reach on both a national and has provided insight intointernational level. The Company supplements this distribution with Delta Air Lines through a kiosk in Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Airport and secured access to distribute through an on-premises location at the useDenver International Airport. SweetWater is also available in Canada through limited distribution within Ontario and Quebec. In addition, our craft spirit brands from Breckenridge are distributed in all 50-states, and in two on-premises tasting and retail store locations. Breckenridge is also distributed in 8 different countries, including Canada, Germany, UK, Hong Kong, Macau, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore, with the intention of cannabis in the treatment of headaches/migraines, anxiety, and problematic substance use, and has led to a number of publications in high ranking academic journals, including the following:

Clinical trials. Our participation in clinical trials differentiatesfurther expanding our research and development program. We believe the development of clinical data on the use and impacts of properly defined cannabinoid products will increase mainstream acceptance within the medical community. To acquire this data, we provide pharmaceutical-grade Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (“APIs”) extracted from cannabis plants to select academic research partners conducting trials that meet regulatory agency standards. Our participation in clinical studies includes development of the Chemistry and Manufacturing Controls (“CMC”) documentation required by regulatory agencies, as well as assistance in designing the formulation of the study drug and the protocol of the clinical trials. In some instances, we provide funding for the trials and/or the pharmacokinetic data on the specific study drug. Although some trials, such as the chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, or CINV, trial described below, are undertaken with an aim toward market authorization, most of the trials in which we participate generate early phase data used to support patent filings and prescribing data for physicians. We leverage our research by educating physicians about the unique benefits of cannabis-based medicines for treating various ailments. We believe our research and education efforts help promote the Tilray brand as the most trusted medical brand in the cannabis industry. Our Medical Advisory Board participates in the clinical trial selection process and provides us with additional credibility as a clinical trial participant.

Clinical trials are typically conducted in phases: Phase I establishes the safety and pharmacokinetics of the investigational study drug; Phase II provides additional information on the drug’s efficacy; and Phase III establishes the statistical significance of the study drug for the treatment of the disease or symptom over the placebo. Below is a list of the clinical trials in which we are currently involved.

Regulatory Environment

Canadian Medical and Adult-Use

Medical and adult-use cannabis in Canada is regulated under the federal Cannabis Act (Canada) (the “Cannabis Act”) and the Cannabis Regulations (“CR”) promulgated under the Cannabis Act. Both the Cannabis Act and CR came into force in October 2018, superseding earlier legislation that only permitted commercial distribution and home cultivation of medical cannabis. The following are the highlights of the current federal legislation:

a federal license is required for companies to cultivate, process and sell cannabis for medical or non-medical purposes. Health Canada, a federal government entity, is the oversight and regulatory body for cannabis licenses in Canada. As of December 31, 2020, Health Canada has issued approximately 570 active licenses to licensees under the CR (“Licensed Producers”);Canada;

allows individuals to purchase, possess and cultivate limited amounts of cannabis for medical purposes and, for individuals over the age of 18 years, for adult-use recreational purposes;

enables the provinces and territories to regulate other aspects associated with recreational adult-use. In particular;particular, each province or territory may adopt its own laws governing the distribution, sale and consumption of cannabis and cannabis accessory products, and those laws may set lower maximum permitted quantities for individuals and higher age requirements;

promotion, packaging and labelling of cannabis is strictly regulated. For example, promotion is largely restricted to the place of sale and age-gated environments (i.e., environments with verification measures in place to restrict access to persons of legal age). Promotions that appeal to underage individuals are prohibited;

since the current federal regime came into force on October 17, 2018, certain classes of cannabis, including dried cannabis and oils, have been permitted for sale into the medical and adult-use markets;

following amendments to the CR that came into force on October 17, 2019 (often referred to as Cannabis 2.0 regulations), other non-combustible form-factors, including edibles, topicals, and extracts (both ingested and inhaled), are permitted in the medical and adult-use markets;

export is restricted to medical cannabis, cannabis for scientific purposes, and industrial hemp; and


sale of medical cannabis occurs on a direct-to-patient basis from a federally licensed provider, while sale of adult-use cannabis occurs through retail-distribution models established by provincial and territorial governments.

All provincial and territorial governments have, to varying degrees, enacted regulatory regimes for the distribution and sale of recreational adult-use cannabis within their jurisdiction, including minimum age requirements. The retail-distribution models for adult-use cannabis varies nationwide:

Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island have adopted a government-run model for retail and distribution;

15


Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, and Newfoundland and Labrador have adopted a hybrid model with some aspects, including distribution and online retail being government-run while allowing for private licensed retail stores;

Manitoba and Saskatchewan have adopted a private model, with privately-run retail stores and online sales, with distribution in Manitoba managed by the provincial government;

the three northern territories of Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut have adopted a model that mirrors their government-run liquor distribution model.

All provincesIn addition, the cannabis industry is subject to substantial federal and territories have secured supply agreements from Licensed Producers for their respective markets. We are fulfilling adult-use supply agreements and purchase orders from various jurisdictions, consisting of: Quebec, Ontario, British Columbia, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Northwest Territories, andprovincial excise taxes. Excise taxes may be increased in the Yukon.future by the federal or any provincial government or both.

United States Regulation of HempHemp-Based CBD

Hemp products are subject to state and federal regulation in respect to the production, distribution and sale of products intended for human ingestion or topical application. Hemp is categorized as Cannabis sativa L., a subspecies of the cannabis genus. Numerous unique, chemical compounds are extractable from Hemp, including THC and CBD. These cannabinoids are responsible for a range of potential psychological and physiological effects. Hemp, as defined in the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (the “2018 Farm Bill,Bill”), is distinguishable from marijuana, which also comes from the Cannabis sativa L. subspecies, by its absence of more than trace amounts (0.3% or less) of the psychoactive compound THC.  Although international standards vary, other countries, such as Canada, use the same THC potency standards to define Hemp.

The 2018 Farm Bill preserves the authority and jurisdiction of the FDA,Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”), under the FDFood Drug & Cosmetic Act (the “FD&C Act,Act”), to regulate the manufacture, marketing, and sale of food, drugs, dietary supplements, and cosmetics, including products that contain Hemp extracts and derivatives, such as CBD. As a result, the FD&C Act will continue to apply to Hemp-derived food, drugs, dietary supplements, cosmetics, and devices introduced, or prepared for introduction, into interstate commerce. As a producer and marketer of Hemp-derived products, the Company must comply with the FDA regulations applicable to manufacturing and marketing of certain products, including food, dietary supplements, and cosmetics.

As a result of the 2018 Farm Bill, federal law dictates that CBD derived from Hemp is not a controlled substance; however, CBD derived from Hemp may still be considered a controlled substance under applicable state law. Individual states take varying approaches to regulating the production and sale of Hemp and Hemp-derived CBD. Some states explicitly authorize and regulate the production and sale of Hemp-derived CBD or otherwise provide legal protection for authorized individuals to engage in commercial Hemp activities, otheractivities. Other states, however, maintain drug laws that do not distinguish between marijuana and Hemp and/or Hemp-derived CBD which results in Hemp being classified as a controlled substance under certain state laws.

European Union Medical Use

While each country in the EUEuropean Union (“EU”) has its own laws and regulations, many common practices are being adopted relative to the developing and growing medical cannabis market. For example, to ensure quality and safe products for patients, many EU countries only permit the import and sale of medical cannabis from GMP-certifiedEU-GMP certified manufacturers.

The EU requires adherence to GMPEU-GMP standards for the manufacture of active substances and medicinal products, including cannabis products. The EU system for certification of GMP allows a Competent Authority of any EU member state to conduct inspections of manufacturing sites and, if the strict GMPEU-GMP standards are met, to issue a certificate of GMPEU-GMP compliance that is also accepted in other EU member countries.


Craft Brewing in the United States

The alcoholic beverage industry in the United States is regulated by federal, state and local governments. These regulations govern the production, sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages, including permitting, licensing, marketing and advertising. To operate their production facilities, SweetWater and Breckenridge must obtain and maintain numerous permits, licenses and approvals from various governmental agencies, including but not limited to, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (the “TTB”), the FDA, state alcohol regulatory agencies and state and federal environmental agencies. Our brewery operations are subject to audit and inspection by the TTB at any time.

In addition, the alcohol industry is subject to substantial federal and state excise taxes.  Excise taxes may be increased in the future by the federal government or any state government or both. In the past, increases in excise taxes on alcoholic beverages have been considered in connection with various governmental budget-balancing or funding proposals.

Environmental Regulation

Our cannabis, brewing and spirits operations are subject to a variety of federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations and local permitting requirements and agreements regarding, among other things, the maintenance of air and water quality standards and land reclamation. They also set forth limitations on the generation, transportation, storage and disposal of hazardous waste. In addition, any new products introduced by us are subject to a comprehensive environmental assessment by an independent third-party expert, including an assessment of how such products may create environmental risks.

While we have no reason to believe the operation of our facilities violates any such regulation or requirement, including the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, environmental regulation is evolving in a manner which may require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. If a violation were to occur, or if environmental regulations were to become more stringent in the future, we could be adversely affected.

Competitive Conditions

Cannabis Market

We continue to face intense competition from the illicit market as well as other companies, some of which may have longer operating histories and more financial resources and manufacturing and marketing experience. With potential consolidation in the cannabis industry, we could face increased competition by larger and better financed competitors.

Growers of cannabis and retailers operating in the illicit market continue to hold significant market share in Canada and are effectively competitors to our business.  Illicit market participants divert customers away through product offering, price point, anonymity and convenience. 

Outdoor cultivation also significantly reduces the barrier to entry by reducing the start-up capital required for new entrants in the cannabis industry. It may also ultimately lower prices as capital expenditure requirements related to growing outside are typically much lower than those associated with indoor growing. Further, the licensed outdoor cultivation capacity is extremely large. While outdoor cultivation is almost exclusively extraction grade, its presence in the market will have a negative effect on pricing of extraction grade wholesale cannabis.

As of December 31, 2020,July 22, 2022, Health Canada has issued approximately 570870 active licenses to cannabis cultivators, processors and sellers. Health Canada licenses are limited to individual properties. As such, if a Licensed Producerlicensed producer seeks to commence production at a new site, it must apply to Health Canada for a new license. As of DecemberMay 31, 2020,2022, roughly 1,3003,000 authorized retail cannabis stores have opened across Canada. As demand for

16


legal cannabis increases and the number of authorized retail distribution points increases, we believe new competitors are likely to enter the Canadian cannabis market. Nevertheless, we believe our brand recognition combined with the quality, consistency, and variety of cannabis products we offer will allow us to maintain a prominent position in the Canadian adult use and medical markets.


Competition is also based on product innovation, product quality, price, brand recognition and loyalty, effectiveness of marketing and promotional activity, the ability to identify and satisfy consumer preferences, as well as convenience and service.

Internationally, cannabis companies are limited to those countries which have legalized aspects of the cultivation, distribution, sale or use of cannabis. We focused on developing assets in certain strategic international jurisdictions, which maintain legalized aspects of the cannabis business. We possess operational hubs in continents with significant growth opportunities and the production capability and distribution network to distribute such products throughout the region served by each hub. The barrier to entry for competitors in these jurisdictions is significantly influenced by the national regulatory landscape with respect to cannabis and the economic climate subsisting in each region.

We also expect more countries to pass regulation allowing for the use of medical and/or recreational cannabis. While expansion of the global cannabis market will provide more opportunities to grow our international business, we also expect to experience increased global competition.

Craft Brewing and Craft Distillery Markets

Through SweetWater and Breckenridge, we compete in the craft brewing and distillery markets, respectively, as well as in the much larger alcohol beverage market, which encompasses domestic and imported beers, flavored alcohol beverages, spirits, wine, hard ciders and hard seltzers. With the proliferation of participants and offerings in the wider alcohol beverage market and within the craft beer and craft spirits segments, we face significant competition. There have also been numerous acquisitions and investments in craft brewers by larger breweries and private equity and other investors, which further intensified competition within the craft beer market. 

While the craft beer and craft spirits markets are highly competitive, we believe that we possess certain competitive advantages. Our unique portfolio combines an award-winning lineup of craft beers and craft spirits with a unique portfolio of brands closely aligned with a cannabis lifestyle, and supported by state-of-the-art breweries and distilleries and strong distribution across the United States. Additionally, as domestic breweries and distillery, we maintain certain competitive advantages over imported beers and spirits, such as lower transportation costs, a lack of import charges and superior product freshness.

Seasonality

SweetWater’s sales of craft beer and Breckenridge’s sales of craft spirits generally reflect a degree of seasonality, with comparatively higher sales in the summer and the winter holiday season. Typically, the demand for cannabis and hemp-based products is fairly consistent throughout the calendar year. Moreover, the impact of COVID-19 on customer behavior and access to our products may cause temporary seasonal fluctuations or changes to our businesses. Therefore, the results for any particular quarter may not be indicative of the results to be achieved for the full year.

Employees and Human Capital Resources

As of DecemberMay 31, 2020,2022, we have 1,030approximately 1,800 employees located primarily in Canada, Portugal, Germany, the United States, and Australia.worldwide. We consider relations with our employees to be good and have never experienced work stoppages. Aside from Portugal, none of our employees are represented by labor unions or are subject to collective bargaining agreements. In Portugal, none of our employees are represented by labor unions or are subject to any workforce-initiated labor agreements. As with allis common for most companies doing business in Portugal, we are subject to a government-mandated collective bargaining agreement which grants employees nominal additional benefits beyond those required by the local labor code.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

CarefulRisks Related to each of the HEXO Transaction and MedMen Investment

We may experience difficulties realizing a return on our investment and achieving the expected production efficiencies and potential cost saving synergies resulting from Tilray’s commercial transaction with HEXO, and we have made substantial commitments of resources and capital in connection with each of the HEXO transaction and MedMen investment.

On July 12, 2022 we closed the HEXO transaction pursuant to which, among other things, Tilray acquired all of the outstanding principal and interest under a secured convertible note (the “HEXO Note”) issued by HEXO Corp. (“HEXO”) with certain amendments. The HEXO transaction also provided for Tilray and HEXO to enter into commercial agreements providing for co-manufacturing by each of Tilray and HEXO, exclusive supply by Tilray to HEXO of cannabis products for international markets, provisioning by Tilray to HEXO of advisory services and procurement and selling and administrative services. As part of the transaction, Tilray delivered consideration shouldtotaling approximately $155 million, representing a substantial investment of resources and capital by the Company.  

We may not be givenable to fully realize the production efficiencies and cost synergies to the following risk factors,extent anticipated or at all. There can also be no assurance that we will be able to realize the expected return on our investment though the recent acquisition of the HEXO Note.

Also, on August 13, 2021 the Company and acquired $165.8 million of certain senior secured convertible notes and related warrants issued by MedMen Enterprises Inc., via the Company’s ownership interest in additiona limited partnership. These investments, separately and in the aggregate, represent a significant commitment of capital by the Company, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to realize returns on these investments or recoup its initial investments.

Risks Related to the Cannabis Business

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

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. 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. These CR licenses and other information set forthapprovals are valid for fixed periods and we must obtain renewals on a periodic basis.  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.  

We are also required to obtain and maintain certain permits, licenses or other approvals from regulatory agencies in this Annual Report on Form 10-Kcountries and markets outside of Canada in other documentswhich 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. 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. These GMP certified facilities are subject to extensive ongoing compliance reviews to ensure that we filecontinue to maintain compliance with current GMP standards. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to comply with these standards. 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. 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


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.  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. 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.

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. Should we fail to comply with the SECapplicable regulatory requirements or publiclywith 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. In addition, we may be subject to enforcement proceedings resulting from a failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements in evaluatingCanada or other jurisdictions, which could result in damage awards, the suspension, withdrawal or non-renewal of our companyexisting 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.

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. Investing

We operate in our securities involves a high degreehighly regulated and rapidly evolving industry. The successful execution of risk. If any of the following risks actually occur, 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. 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 futureprospects.

The federal legislative framework pertaining to the Canadian cannabis market is still very new. In addition, the governments of every Canadian province and territory have implemented different regulatory regimes for the distribution and sale of cannabis for adult-use purposes within those jurisdictions. There is no guarantee that the Canadian legislative framework regulating the cultivation, processing, distribution and sale of cannabis will not be amended or replaced or the current legislation will create the growth prospects could be materially and adversely affected. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or thatopportunities we currently consider to not be material may also materiallyanticipate.

In the United States, despite cannabis having been legalized at the state level for medical use in many states and adversely affect our company and our business.

Risks Related to the Arrangement

Failure to complete, or delaysfor adult-use in completing, the Arrangement could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and our stock price.

The completion of the Arrangement is subject to a number of conditions precedent, somestates, cannabis meeting the statutory definition of which are outside Aphria’s“marijuana” continues to be categorized as a Schedule I controlled substance under the federal Controlled Substances Act, or the CSA, and Tilray’s control, including receiptsubject to the Controlled Substances Import and Export Act, or the CSIEA. Hemp and marijuana both originate from the Cannabis sativa plant and CBD is a constituent of stockholder and regulatory approvals.

17


To completeboth. “Marihuana” or “marijuana” is defined in the Arrangement, each of Aphria and Tilray must make certain filings with and obtain certain consents and approvals from various governmental and regulatory authorities. Aphria and Tilray have not yet obtained allCSA as a Schedule I controlled substance whereas “hemp” is essentially any parts of the regulatory approvals which are requiredCannabis sativa plant that has not been determined to completebe marijuana. Pursuant to the Arrangement. The regulatory approval processes may take2018 Farm Bill, “hemp,” or cannabis and cannabis derivatives containing no more than 0.3% of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is now excluded from the statutory definition of “marijuana” and, as such, is no longer a lengthy periodSchedule I controlled substance under the CSA. As a result, our activity in the United States is limited to (a) certain corporate and administrative services, including accounting, legal and creative services, (b) supply of time to complete, which could delay completion ofstudy drug for clinical trials under DEA and FDA authorization, and (c) participation in the Arrangement. market for hemp and hemp-derived products containing CBD in compliance with the 2018 Farm Bill.

There can be no assurance asthat the United States will implement federal legalization of cannabis.  With respect to CBD and hemp, while the outcome2018 Farm Bill exempts hemp and hemp derived products from the CSA, the commercialization of hemp products in the United States is subject to various laws, including the 2018 Farm Bill, the FD&C Act, the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, or (the “DSHEA”), applicable state and/or local laws, and FDA regulations. See also Risk Factor “United States regulations relating to hemp-derived CBD products are new and rapidly evolving, and changes may not develop in the timeframe or manner most favorable to our business objectives”.


Our ability to expand internationally is also contingent, in part, upon compliance with applicable regulatory requirements enacted by governmental authorities and obtaining all requisite regulatory approvals. We cannot predict the impact of the approval processes, includingcompliance regime that governmental authorities may implement to regulate the undertakingsadult-use or medical cannabis industry. Similarly, we cannot predict how long it will take to secure all appropriate regulatory approvals for our products, or the extent of testing and conditionsdocumentation that may be required for approval,by governmental authorities. The impact of the various compliance regimes, any delays in obtaining, or whether thefailure to obtain regulatory approvals will be obtained at all.

In addition,may significantly delay or impact the completiondevelopment of the Arrangement by Aphriamarkets, products and Tilray is conditional on, among other things, no action or circumstance occurring that would result in a material adverse effect on Aphria’s and Tilray’s business operations, financial results and share price.

There can be no certainty, nor can Aphria or Tilray provide any assurance, that all conditions precedent to the Arrangement will be satisfied or waived, or, if satisfied or waived, when they will be satisfied or waived and, accordingly, the Arrangement may not be completed or may be delayed. If, for any reason, the Arrangement is not completed, its completion is materially delayed and/or the Arrangement Agreement is terminated, the market price of our shares of Class 2 common stock may be materially adversely affected. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could also be subject to various material adverse consequences, including that we would remain liable for costs relating to the Arrangement.

In addition, if the Arrangement is not completed for any reason, there are risks that the announcement of the Arrangement and the dedication of our resources to the completion thereof could have a negative impact on our relationships with our stakeholderssales initiatives and could have a material adverse effect on our current and future operations,business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. As the commercial cannabis industry develops in Canada and other jurisdictions, we anticipate that regulations governing cannabis in Canada and globally will continue to evolve.  Further, Health Canada or the regulatory authorities in other countries in which we operate or to which we export our cannabis products may change their administration or application of the applicable regulations or their compliance or enforcement procedures at any time. There is no assurance that we will be able to comply or continue to comply with applicable regulations, which could impact our ability to continue to carry on business as currently conducted and the potential expansion of our business.

We currently incur and will continue to incur ongoing costs and obligations related to regulatory compliance. A failure on our part to comply with regulations may result in additional costs for corrective measures, penalties or restrictions on our business or operations. In addition, changes in regulations, more vigorous enforcement thereof or other unanticipated events could require extensive changes to our operations, increased compliance costs or give rise to material liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

InOur production and processing facilities are integral to our business and adverse changes or developments affecting additionour, we facilities may incur have an adverse impact on our business.

Our cultivation and processing facilities are integral to our business and the licenses issued by applicable regulatory authorities is specific to each of these facilities. Adverse changes or developments affecting these facilities, including, but not limited to, disease or infestation of our crops, a fire, an explosion, a power failure, a natural disaster, an epidemic, pandemic or other public health crisis, or a material failure of our security infrastructure, could reduce or require us to entirely suspend operations at the affected facilities. See also Risk Factor “Risks related to COVID‑19”.

A significant transaction expensesfailure of our site security measures and other facility requirements, including failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, could have an impact on our ability to continue operating under our facility licenses and our prospects of renewing our licenses, and could also result in connection with the Arrangement, regardlessa suspension or revocation of whether the Arrangement is completed.these licenses.

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

We face, and we expect to customary non-solicitation provisions undercontinue to face, intense competition from other Licensed Producers and other potential competitors, some of which have longer operating histories and more financial resources than we have. In addition, we anticipate that the Arrangement Agreement. The Arrangement Agreement also restricts us from taking specified actions until the Arrangement is completed without the consent of Aphria. These restrictions may prevent us from pursuing attractive business opportunitiescannabis industry will continue to undergo consolidation, creating larger companies with financial resources, manufacturing and marketing capabilities and product offerings that may arise prior to the completion of the Arrangement.

Each of the parties may terminate the Arrangement if the closing has not occurred by the outside date specified in the Arrangement Agreement, and in certain other circumstances.

Each of Aphria and Tilray has the right in certain circumstances, in addition to termination rights relating to the failure to satisfy the conditions of closing, to terminate the Arrangement. Accordingly, there can be no certainty, nor can Tilray provide any assurance that the Arrangement will not be terminated by either Aphria or Tilray prior to the completion of the Arrangement. In addition, if the Arrangement is not completed by July 31, 2021, either Aphria or Tilray may choose to terminate the Arrangement Agreement. The Arrangement Agreement also includes termination amounts payable if the Arrangement Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances.

The termination amounts provided under the Arrangement Agreement may discourage other parties from attempting to acquire Aphria or Tilray.

Under the Arrangement Agreement, each of Aphria and Tilray would be required to pay to the other a termination amount of C$65 million in the event the Arrangement Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances. This termination amount may discourage other parties from attempting to acquire Tilray or otherwise make an acquisition proposal to Tilray, even if those parties would be willing to offer our stockholders a benefit greater than what the Arrangement offers.

The transaction consideration is fixed and will not be adjusted.

The market price of shares of Aphria’s common stock or shares of Tilray Class 2 common stock could each fluctuate significantly prior to the effective date of the Arrangement in response to various factors and events, including, without limitation, as a result of the differences between Aphria’s and Tilray’s actual financial or operating results and those expected by investors and analysts, changes in analysts’ projections or recommendations, changes in general economic or market conditions, and broad market fluctuations.ours. As a result of such fluctuations, historicalthis competition, we may be unable to maintain our operations or develop them as currently proposed, on terms we consider acceptable, or at all.

Health Canada has issued hundreds of licenses for Licensed Producers. 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 pricesshare in Canada. We expect to face additional competition from new market entrants and may experience downward price pressure on our cannabis products as new entrants increase production. If the number of users of cannabis in Canada increases, the demand for products will increase and the Company expects that competition will become more intense, as current and future competitors begin to offer an increasing number of diversified products and pricing strategies.

Our commercial opportunity in the medical and adult-use markets could also be impacted if our competitors produce and commercialize products that, among other things, are safer, more effective, more convenient or less


expensive than the products that we may produce, have greater sales, marketing and distribution support than our products, enjoy enhanced timing of market introduction and perceived effectiveness advantages over our products and receive more favorable publicity than our products. To remain competitive, we intend to continue to invest in research and development, marketing and sales and client support.  We may not indicativehave sufficient resources to maintain research and development, marketing and sales and client support efforts on a competitive basis.

In addition to the foregoing, the legal landscape for medical and adult-use cannabis is changing internationally. We maintain operations outside of futureCanada, which may be affected as other countries develop, adopt and change their laws related to medical and adult-use cannabis. Increased international competition, including competition from suppliers in other countries who may be able to produce at lower cost, and limitations placed on us by Canadian or other regulations, might lower the demand for our cannabis products on a global scale.

Competition from the illicit cannabis market prices orcould impact our ability to succeed.

We face competition from illegal market operators that are unlicensed and unregulated including illegal dispensaries and illicit market suppliers selling cannabis and cannabis-based products. As these illegal market participants do not comply with the market valueregulations governing the cannabis industry, their operations may have significantly lower costs. The perpetuation of the shares of Tilray Class 2 common stock that holders of shares of Aphria’s common stock may receive on the effective date of the

18


Arrangement. There can be no assurance that the trading price of shares of Tilray Class 2 common stock will not decline following the completion of the Arrangement.

The foregoing risks or other risks arising in connection with the Arrangement, including the potential failure of the Arrangement and the diversion of management attention from conducting the business of Aphria and Tilray,illegal market for cannabis may have a material adverse effect on Aphria’sour business, results of operations, as well as the perception of cannabis use. Furthermore, given the restrictions on regulated cannabis retail, including those related to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is possible that legal cannabis consumers revert to the illicit market as a matter of convenience.

The cannabis industry and Tilray’smarket are relatively new and evolving, which could impact our ability to succeed in this industry and market.

We are operating our business in a relatively new industry and market that is expanding globally, and our success depends on our ability to attract and retain consumers and patients. There are many factors which could impact our ability to attract and retain consumers and patients, including but not limited to brand awareness, our ability to continually produce desirable and effective cannabis products and the ability to bring new consumers and patients into the category. The failure to acquire and retain consumers and patients could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

To remain competitive, we will continue to innovate new products, build brand awareness and make significant investments in our business strategy and production capacity. These investments include introducing new products into the markets in which we operate, adopting quality assurance protocols and procedures, building our international presence and undertaking research and development. These activities may not promote our products as effectively as intended, or at all, and we expect that our competitors will undertake similar investments to compete with us for market share. Competitive conditions, consumer preferences, regulatory conditions, patient requirements, prescribing practices, and spending patterns in this industry and market are relatively unknown and may have unique characteristics that differ from other existing industries and markets and that cause our efforts to further our business to be unsuccessful or to have undesired consequences. As a result, we may not be successful in our efforts to attract and retain customers or to develop new cannabis products and produce and distribute these products in time to be effectively commercialized, or these activities may require significantly more resources than we currently anticipate in order to be successful.

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

In Canada, there are significant regulatory restrictions on the marketing, branding, product formats, product composition, packaging, and distribution of adult-use cannabis products. For instance, the CR includes a requirement for health warnings on product packaging, the limited ability to use logos and branding (only one brand name and one brand element per package), restrictions on packaging itself, and restrictions on types and avenues of marketing. Cannabis 2.0 regulations, which govern the production and sale of new classes or forms of cannabis products (including vapes and edibles), impose considerable restrictions on product composition, labeling, and packaging in addition to being subject to similar marketing restrictions as existing form factors.  


Further, each province and territory of Canada has the ability to separately regulate the distribution of cannabis within such province or territory (including the legal age), and the rules and regulations adopted vary significantly.  Additional marketing and product composition restrictions have been imposed by some provinces and territories. Such federal and provincial restrictions may impair our ability to differentiate our products and develop our adult-use brands.  Some provinces and territories also impose significant restrictions on our ability to merchandise products; for example, some provinces impose restrictions on investment in retailers or distributors as well as in our ability to negotiate for preferential retail space or in-store marketing. If we are unable to effectively market our products and compete for market share, our sales and results of operations may be adversely affected.    

Research regarding the health effects of cannabis is in relatively early stages and subject to further study which could impact demand for cannabis products.

Research and clinical trials on the potential benefits and the short-term and long-term effects of cannabis use on human health remains in relatively early stages and there is limited standardization. As such, there are inherent risks associated with using cannabis and cannabis derivative products. Moreover, future research and clinical trials may draw opposing conclusions to statements contained in articles, reports and studies we relied on or could reach different or negative conclusions regarding the benefits, viability, safety, efficacy, dosing or other facts and perceptions related to cannabis, which could adversely affect social acceptance of cannabis and the demand for our products.

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

Our participation in the market for hemp-derived CBD products in the United States and elsewhere may require us to employ novel approaches to existing regulatory pathways. Although the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill legalized the cultivation of hemp in the United States to produce products containing CBD and other non-THC cannabinoids, it remains unclear whether and when the FDA will propose or implement new or additional regulations. While, to date, there are no laws or regulations enforced by the FDA which specifically address the manufacturing, packaging, labeling, distribution, or sale of hemp or hemp-derived CBD products and the FDA has issued no formal regulations addressing such matters, the FDA has issued various guidance documents and other statements reflecting its non-binding opinion on the regulation of such products.

The hemp plant and the cannabis/marijuana plant are both part of the same cannabis sativa genus/species of plant, except that hemp, by definition, has less than 0.3% THC content, but the same plant with a higher THC content is cannabis/marijuana, which is legal under certain state laws, but which is not legal under United States federal law. The similarities between these two can cause confusion, and our activities with legal hemp in the United States may be incorrectly perceived as us being involved in federally illegal cannabis. The FDA has stated in guidance and other public statements that it is prohibited to sell a food, beverage or dietary supplement to which THC or CBD has been added. While the FDA does not have a formal policy of enforcement discretion with respect to any products with added CBD, the agency has stated that its primary focus for enforcement centers on products that put the health and safety of consumers at risk, such as those claiming to prevent, diagnose, mitigate, treat, or cure diseases in the absence of requisite approvals. While the agency’s enforcement to date has therefore focused on products containing CBD and that make drug-like claims, there is the risk that the FDA could expand its enforcement activities and require us to alter our marketing for our hemp-derived CBD products or cease distributing them altogether. The FDA could also issue new regulations that prohibit or limit the sale of hemp-derived CBD products. Such regulatory actions and associated compliance costs may hinder our ability to successfully compete in the market for such products.

In addition, such products may be subject to regulation at the state or local levels. State and local authorities have issued their own restrictions on the cultivation or sale of hemp or hemp-derived CBD. This includes laws that ban the cultivation or possession of hemp or any other plant of the cannabis genus and derivatives thereof, such as CBD. State regulators may take enforcement action against food and dietary supplement products that contain CBD, or enact new laws or regulations that prohibit or limit the sale of such products.

The regulation of hemp and CBD in the United States has been constantly evolving, with changes in federal and state laws and regulation occurring on a frequent basis. Violations of applicable FDA and other laws could result in warning letters, significant fines, penalties, administrative sanctions, injunctions, convictions or settlements arising


from civil proceedings.  Unforeseen regulatory obstacles or compliance costs may hinder our ability to successfully compete in the market for such products.

Risks related to the Beverage Alcohol Business

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

If general consumer trends lead to a decrease in the demand for SweetWater’s beers and other alcohol products or Breckenridge’s whiskey products, including craft beer, our sales and results of operations in the beverage alcohol segment may be adversely affected. There is no assurance that the craft brewing segment will experience growth in future periods. If the markets for wine, spirits or flavored alcohol beverages continue to grow, this could draw consumers away from the industry in general and our beverage alcohol products specifically.

Further, the alcoholic beverage industry is subject to public concern and political attention over alcohol-related social problems, including drunk driving, underage drinking and health consequences from the misuse of alcohol. In reaction to these concerns, steps may be taken to restrict advertising, to impose additional cautionary labeling or packaging requirements, or to increase excise or other taxes on beverage alcohol products. Any such developments may have an adverse impact on the financial condition, operating results and cash flows for SweetWater and Breckenridge.

Developments affecting production at our brewery in Atlanta or our distillery in Breckenridge could negatively impact financial results for our beverage alcohol business segment.

Adverse changes or developments affecting our brewery in Atlanta or our distillery in Breckenridge, including, fire, power failure, natural disaster, public health crisis, or a material failure of our security infrastructure, could reduce or require us to entirely suspend operations.  Additionally, due to many factors, including seasonality and production schedules of our various products and packaging, actual production capacity may fluctuate throughout the year and may not reach full working capacity. If we experience contraction in our sales and production volumes, the excess capacity and unabsorbed overhead may have an adverse effect on gross margins, operating cash flows and overall financial performance of SweetWater or Breckenridge.

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

The market for alcoholic beverage products within the United States is highly competitive due to the increasing number of domestic and international beverage companies with similar pricing and target drinkers, the introduction and expansion of hard seltzers and ready-to-drink beverages, gains in market share price.achieved by domestic specialty beers and imported beers, and the acquisition of craft brewers and smaller producers by larger companies. We anticipate competition among domestic craft brewers and distillers will also remain strong as existing facilities build more capacity, expand geographically and add more products, flavors and styles. The continued growth in the sales of hard seltzers, craft-brewed domestic beers and imported beers is expected to increase competition in the market for alcoholic beverages within the United States and, as a result, prices and market share of SweetWater’s and Breckenridge’s products may fluctuate and possibly decline.

The alcohol industry has seen continued consolidation among producers in order to take advantage of cost savings opportunities for supplies, distribution and operations. Due to the increased leverage that these combined operations have in distribution and sales and marketing expenses, the costs to SweetWater and Breckenridge of competing could increase. The potential also exists for these large competitors to increase their influence with their distributors, making it difficult for smaller producers to maintain their market presence or enter new markets. The increase in the number and availability of competing products and brands, the costs to compete and potential decrease in distribution support and opportunities may adversely affect our business and financial results.


SweetWater and Breckenridge are both dependent on distributors to deliver sustained growth and distribute products.

In the United States, each of SweetWater and Breckenridge sells its alcohol beverages to independent distributors for distribution to retailers and, ultimately, to consumers. No assurance can be given that SweetWater and Breckenridge will be able to maintain their current distribution networks or secure additional distributors on favorable terms.  If existing distribution agreements are terminated, it may not be possible to enter into new distribution agreements on substantially similar terms or to timely put in place replacement distribution agreements, which may result in an impairment to distribution and an increase in the costs of distribution.  

Risks Related to COVID-19

Risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic have and willmay continue to impact our operations and could have a material adverse effect onadversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the coronavirus, or COVID-19, a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to result in extended government-ordered closuresmeasures affecting significant portions of the global economy, including in the United States, Canada, Portugal, Australia and Germany, where we conduct significant business. The public health crisis caused by COVID-19 and the measuresactions taken and continuing to be taken by governments, businesses and the public have adversely affected, and we expect will continue to have, certain negative impacts onadversely affect, our business, operations,financial condition and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The full extent to which COVID-19 may impact our business, including our operations and the market for our securities and our financial condition, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. These include the duration, severity and scope of the outbreak, and further action taken by the government and other third parties in response to the pandemic. In particular, COVID-19 and government efforts to curtail COVID-19 could impede our production facilities, increase operating expenses, result in loss of sales, affect our supply chains, impact performance of contractual obligations and require additional expenditures to be incurred.operations.

In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic and to comply with mandates and guidance from governmental authorities, we have and continue to review and update our operational procedures and safety protocols at our facilities. If such measures are not effective or governmental authorities implement further restrictions, we may be required to take more extreme action, which could include a short or long-term closure of our facilities or reduction in workforce. These measures may impair our production levels or cause us to close or severely limit production at one or more facilities. Further, our operations could be adversely impacted if suppliers, contractors, customers and/or transportation carriers are restricted or prevented from conducting business activities. For example, cannabis retail stores in certain Canadian markets may close voluntarily or be forced by local governments to close or modify their operations, reducing our ability to distribute adult-use cannabis.

Consumer demand for cannabis products may also be impacted by COVID-19 as a result of reductions in consumers’ Whiledisposable income associated with layoffs, and work or pay limitations due to mandatory social distancing and lockdown measures implemented by government authorities. Demand for medical cannabis may be further impacted due to a decrease in patients visiting doctor’s offices and clinics. As demand for our products decreases, we may be required to record additional asset impairments, including an impairment of the carrying value of our goodwill, along with other accounting charges.

The following is a summary of certain COVID-19 related operational impacts and associated risks at our production and processing facilities:

To date, the province of Ontario, where we grow and manufacture adult-use cannabis and other cannabis products, has deemed our supply chain operations to be an essential service; however, there can be no assurance that such designation will remain in effect. If our growing and manufacturing operations at Enniskillen and London, Ontario are deemed non-essential, and are required to close for a significant period of time, our revenues and our results of operations would be significantly reduced.

Similarly, the province of British Columbia, where we grow and manufacture cannabis products for medicinal purposes, has explicitly deemed the manufacture and sale of adult-use and medicinal cannabis by Licensed Producers (as defined under the Cannabis Act) to be an essential service. Any change to such

19


designation could further disrupt our medicinal cannabis production and sales and restrict our ability to participate in clinical trials.

Manitoba Harvest has production facilities in Winnipeg and Ste. Agathe, which produce hemp-related food products and accordingly have been deemed essential. While our facilities at both Winnipeg and Ste. Agathe remain open and producing according to schedule, and the U.S./Canadian border closure has exempted food transport as an essential cross-border service, we cannot predict the effect of future governmental actions related to COVID-19 on this critical supply chain. If our manufacturing operations at Winnipeg and Ste. Agathe are deemed non-essential, and are required to close for a significant period of time, or the U.S.-Canadian border is closed to food transport, our general ability to transport and receive raw materials, inputs and final products would be significantly impacted.

While our facility in Portugal has not been subject to a mandatory closure by Portuguese authorities, there can be no assurance that such operational status will remain in effect or that the government will not implement additional measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19. If the government mandated closure of our Portugal facility, or otherwise ordered further restrictions to business activities or employees’ movement, it could affect our ability to export medicinal cannabis across the European Union, applicable member states, or elsewhere in the region, which could have a material effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are completing construction of an additional greenhouse of 3.4 hectares in Cantanhede, Portugal, currently scheduled for final completion by the end of the first quarter of 2021. Due to COVID-19, we have and may continue to experience construction delays. If we are unable to complete construction in a timely manner due to COVID-19, we may not achieve all our expected harvests and production, which may negatively impact our international sales. While we are actively working with our contractors to maintain appropriate COVID-19 protections at our construction site in an effort to complete construction in a timely manner, we may experience further delays as a result of the pandemic.

In Germany, we have experienced minimal disruption in the supply of medicinal products to patients via pharmacies and physicians. However, COVID-19 may impact ongoing supply and patient demand. We have observed a strong decrease in patients visiting doctors’ offices since the pandemic was declared, which could lead to reduced patient demand and revenues. Additionally, if medicinal cannabis is deemed non-essential by the German government, or we are unable to import our medicinal products into Germany from Canada and Portugal, it could have a material impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Given the ongoing and dynamic nature and significance of COVID-19 and its impact globally, we are not able to enumerate all potential risks to our business. Any of the negative impacts of COVID-19, including those described above, alone or in combination with others, may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. Further, any of these negative impacts, alone or in combination with others, could exacerbate many of the other risk factors outlined in “Item 1A. Risk Factors”.

Risks Related to Adult-Use Cannabis

The development of the adult-use cannabis industry and regulations governing this industry may impact our ability to successfully compete.

The Cannabis Act and the accompanying regulations, or the CR, became effective in October 2018 and allow individuals over the age of 18 to legally purchase, process and cultivate limited amounts of cannabis for adult use recreational purposes in Canada. Further, each province and territory of Canada has the ability to separately regulate the distribution of cannabis within such province or territory, and the rules (including associated regulations) adopted by these provinces or territories vary significantly. There is no assurance that the adult-use cannabis industry, and the regulations governing this industry, will continue to develop as anticipated.

There are and will be significant restrictions on the marketing, branding, product formats, product composition, packaging, and distribution channels allowed under the CR, which may reduce the value of certain of our products and brands or negatively impact our ability to compete with other companies in the adult-use cannabis market in Canada. For instance, the CR includes a requirement for health warnings on product packaging, the

20


limited ability to use logos and branding (only one brand name and one brand element per package), restrictions on packaging itself, and restrictions on types and avenues of marketing. Further, Cannabis 2.0 regulations (which came into force on October 17, 2019, allowing new cannabis form factors) govern the production and sale of new classes or forms of cannabis products (including vapes and edibles), and impose considerable restrictions on product composition, labeling, and packaging in addition to being subject to similar marketing restrictions as existing form factors. Additional marketing and product composition restrictions have been imposed by some provinces and territories. Such federal and provincial restrictions may impair our ability to develop our adult-use brands and additional product or marketing restrictions imposed under future regulations may make it uneconomic or unfeasible for us to introduce our entire portfolio of brands and products into the Canadian market, which means that we may be unable to reap the full benefit of the exclusive rights we have secured to such brands and products or launch new products.

Some provinces and territories also impose significant restrictions on our ability to merchandise products; for example, some provinces impose restrictions on investment in retailers or distributors and their employees as well as in our ability to negotiate for preferential retail space or in-store marketing. Such variance may make participation in the adult-use cannabis market uneconomic or of limited economic benefit for us in those provinces or territories and could result in significant additional compliance or other costs and limitations on our ability to compete successfully in each such market.

Access to certain markets in Canada is dependent on compliance with supplier standards established by provincial or territorial distributors

Government-run provincial and territorial distributors in Canada require suppliers to meet certain service and business standards, and routinely assess for compliance with such standards. Any failure by us to comply with such standards could result in our being downgraded or disqualified as a supplier and would severely impede or eliminate our ability to access certain markets within Canada. See Risk Factor “We depend on significant customers for a substantial portion of our revenue. If we fail to retain or expand our customer relationships or significant customers reduce their purchases, our revenue could decline significantly.”

The adult-use cannabis market in Canada is continuing to develop and may experience supply fluctuations which could result in decreases to prices and revenues.

As a result of the legalization in October 2018 of adult-use cannabis for recreational purposes in Canada, the market for adult-use cannabis is continuing to develop, resulting in fluctuations in supply and demand. Licensed Producers, and others licensed to produce cannabis under the CR, may not be able to produce enough cannabis to meet adult-use demand. This may result in lower than expected sales and revenues and may result in increased competition for sales and sources of supply. This competition may adversely affect our adult-use business and there is no guarantee that we will be able to supply or acquire the supply, on commercially reasonable terms or at all, to meet the demand for medical and adult-use cannabis.

In addition, we and other cannabis producers in Canada may produce more cannabis than is needed to satisfy the collective demand of the Canadian medical and adult-use markets, and we may be unable to export that oversupply into other legal markets. During the year ended December 31, 2020 we incurred inventory valuation adjustments of approximately $38.4 million. As a result, the available supply of cannabis could exceed demand, resulting in a significant decline in the market price for cannabis. If this were to occur, there is no assurance that we would be able to generate sufficient revenue from the sale of adult-use cannabis to result in profitability and sufficient liquidity. Regulatory restrictions or over supply conditions in our primary markets could result in inventory adjustments.

Competition from the illicit cannabis market could impact our ability to succeed.

We face competition from unlicensed and unregulated market participants, including illegal dispensaries and illicit market suppliers selling cannabis and cannabis-based products in Canada.

Despite the legalization of medical and adult-use cannabis in Canada, illicit market operations remain abundant and are a substantial competitor to our business. In addition, illegal dispensaries and illicit market participants may be able to (i) offer products with higher concentrations of active ingredients that are either expressly prohibited or impracticable to produce under current Canadian regulations, (ii) brand products more explicitly, and (iii) describe/discuss intended effects of products. As these illicit market participants do not comply

21


with the regulations governing the medical and adult-use cannabis industry in Canada, their operations frequently have significantly lower costs.

As a result of the competition presented by the illicit market for cannabis, any unwillingness by consumers currently utilizing these unlicensed distribution channels to begin purchasing from licensed retailers for any reason or any inability or unwillingness of law enforcement authorities to enforce laws prohibiting the unlicensed cultivation and sale of cannabis and cannabis-based products could (i) result in the perpetuation of the illicit market for cannabis, (ii) adversely affect our market share and (iii) adversely impact the public perception of cannabis use and licensed cannabis producers and dealers, all of which could have a materially adverse effect on our business, operations and financial condition. Furthermore, given the restrictions on regulated cannabis retail, including those related to COVID-19, it is possible that legal cannabis consumers revert to the illicit market as a matter of convenience.

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

Cannabis 2.0, regulations, which came into effect on October 17, 2019, permit Licensed Producers to develop new cannabis form factors, including CBD and THC-infused drinks, edibles and non-flower products, such as vapes. We have and will continue to develop strategic partnerships to participate in these new product market opportunities with partners who can provide complementary product development and support capabilities. Strategic initiatives around new products involve significant investment of management time and resources in order to successfully execute and maintain, for novel products that may not generate sufficient market demand. Additionally, there can be no guarantee that such new product offerings, even if successfully developed, will have unit economics that generate an appropriate return on investment. The development of new products could result in diversions of management attention, a strain on existing financial and other resources or a lack of product demand for our newly developed form factors, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our vape business is subject to uncertainty in the evolving vape market due to negative public sentiment and regulatory scrutiny.

Cannabis vape products in Canada are regulated under the Cannabis Act and the CR, as well as the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act. The CR sets clear rules and standards for the manufacture, composition, packaging, and marketing of cannabis vape products. Health risks raised in Canada and the United States associated with vaping and accompanying negative public sentiment may prompt Health Canada or individual provinces/territories to further limit or defer industry’s ability to sell cannabis vape products and may also diminish consumer demand for such products. There can be no assurance that we will be able to meet any additional compliance requirements or regulatory restrictions, or remain competitive in the face of unexpected changes in market conditions.

Vaping, electronic cigarettes and related products were recently developed and therefore the scientific community has not yet had a sufficient period of time to study the long-term health effects of their use. Currently, there is no way of knowing whether these products are safe for their intended use and the medical community is still studying these products’ health effects. If the scientific community were to determine conclusively that use of any or all of these products poses long-term health risks, market demand for these products and their use could materially decline. Such a determination could also lead to litigation and significant regulation.

Loss of demand for our products, product liability claims and increased regulation stemming from unfavorable scientific studies on cannabis vaping products could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The adult-use cannabis industry in Canada is subject to many of the same risks as the medical cannabis industry, including risks related to our need for regulatory approvals, the early status and uncertain growth of this industry and the competition we expect to face in this industry.

The adult-use cannabis industry in Canada is subject to certain risks that are unique to this industry, as well as the risks that are currently applicable to the medical cannabis industry, which are described under the heading above titled “Risk Factors-Risks Related to Medical Cannabis Business.”

If any of these shared risks occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be adversely affected in a number of ways, which may include being unable to successfully compete in the

22


adult-use cannabis industry or being subject to fines, damage awards and other penalties as a result of regulatory infractions or other claims brought against us.

Competition in the legal adult-use cannabis market in Canada may impact our ability to succeed in this market.

Our Canadian adult-use business faces enhanced competition from other Licensed Producers, those individuals and corporations who are licensed under the CR to participate in the adult-use cannabis industry and those that have applied for licenses under the CR. Moreover, the CR allows individuals to cultivate, propagate, harvest and distribute up to four cannabis plants per household, provided that each plant meets certain requirements. If we are unable to effectively compete with other suppliers to the adult-use cannabis market, or a significant number of individuals take advantage of the ability to cultivate and use their own cannabis, our success in the adult-use business may be limited and may not fulfill the expectations of management, securities analysts or investors.

Certain of our competitors have significantly greater financial, production, marketing, research and development, and technical and human resources than we do. As a result, our competitors may be more successful than us in gaining market penetration and market share. Our commercial opportunity in the adult-use market could be reduced or eliminated if our competitors produce and commercialize products for the adult-use market that, among other things, are safer, more effective, more convenient or less expensive than the products that we may produce, have greater sales, marketing and distribution support than our products, enjoy enhanced timing of market introduction and perceived effectiveness advantages over our products and receive more favorable publicity than our products. If our adult-use products do not achieve an adequate level of acceptance by the adult-use market, we may not generate sufficient revenue from these products, and our adult-use business may not become profitable.

There may be industry consolidation of one or more competitors, which could increase the competitive advantage of certain competitors and reduce overall market share opportunities. Increased consolidation and new and disparate provincial regulations could have a material effect on our business and results of operations.

Risks Related to Medical Cannabis Business

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

Our ability to grow, process, package, store and sell cannabis products for medical purposes in Canada is dependent on our current Health Canada licenses under the CR, covering our production facility and patient call center at our Tilray North America Campus in Nanaimo, British Columbia, or Tilray Nanaimo. These licenses allow us to produce cannabis in bulk and finished forms at these facilities and to sell and distribute such cannabis in Canada. 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. These CR licenses are valid for fixed periods and will need to be renewed at the end of such periods.

We also hold licenses under the CR covering our facilities in Enniskillen and London, Ontario which we use to service the adult-use market and support the medical market as needed. These licenses allow us to produce, sell, and distribute cannabis and/or cannabis products in Canada. These licenses are valid for fixed periods and will need to be renewed at the end of such periods.

Our ability to operate in our facility at our Tilray European Union Campus located in Cantanhede, Portugal, or Tilray Portugal, is dependent on our current authorization for the cultivation, import and export of cannabis and our Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMP, certification by the Portuguese National Authority of Medicines and Health Products, or INFARMED, for manufacture of cannabis as an active pharmaceutical ingredient, and is dependent on our current authorization for the manufacture of finished cannabis products and GMP certification for manufacture of cannabis as a finished medicinal product. Our GMP certification issued in May 2020 allows the facility to manufacture medical cannabis extracts in-house and export GMP-produced finished medical cannabis products, including dried flower and oils. Our current authorization for cultivation, import and export of cannabis, which includes a new cultivation site located in Reguengos de Monsaraz as of June 1, 2020, is valid for a single growing season at a time and notification to INFARMED is needed to renew the license for subsequent growing seasons. All licenses are subject to ongoing compliance and reporting requirements and renewal.

23


Any future medical cannabis production facilities that we operate in Canada or elsewhere will also be subject to separate licensing requirements under the CR or applicable local legal requirements. Although we believe that we will meet the requirements of the CR for future renewals of our existing licenses, and grants of permits under such licenses, and to obtain corresponding licenses for any future facilities in Canada, 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.

Further, we are subject to ongoing inspections by Health Canada and INFARMED to monitor our compliance with their licensing requirements. Most recently, our facilities received fully compliant inspection or compliance verification ratings on the following dates: Tilray Canada Ltd. (February 2020), High Park Holdings Ltd. (May 2020) and High Park Farms Ltd. (November 2020). Our existing licenses and any new licenses that we may obtain in the future in Canada or other jurisdictions may be revoked or restricted at any time in the event that we are found not to be in compliance. 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 medical cannabis in Canada or other jurisdictions or to export medical cannabis outside of Canada or Portugal. 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, a suspension of our existing approvals, a withdrawal of our existing approvals, the denial of the renewal of our existing approvals or any future approvals, recalls of products, product seizures, the imposition of future operating restrictions on our business or operations or the imposition of civil, regulatory or criminal fines or penalties against us, our officers and directors and other parties. These enforcement actions could delay or entirely prevent us from continuing the production, testing, marketing, sale or distribution of our medical products and divert management’s attention and resources away from our business operations.

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

The successful execution of our medical cannabis 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 other required regulatory approvals forhave relaxed restrictions implemented in response to the production, sale, import and export of our medical cannabis products. The commercial medical cannabis industry is a relatively new industry in Canada and the federal regulatory regime has only been in effect in its current form since October 2018. The effect of Health Canada’s administration, application and enforcement of the regime established by the Cannabis Act and CR on us and our business in Canada, and the administration, application and enforcement of the laws of other countries by the appropriate regulators in those countries, may significantly delay or impact our ability to participate in the Canadian medical cannabis market or medical cannabis markets outside Canada, to develop medical cannabis products and produce and sell these medical cannabis products.

Further, Health Canada or the regulatory authorities in other countries in which we operate or to which we export our medical cannabis products may change their administration or application of the applicable regulations or their compliance or enforcement procedures at any time. The laws and regulations in Canada may change both federally and provincially, with new regulations introduced or changes to existing regulations, which could include additional restrictions. The applicable laws in other countries where we operate or export our medical cannabis products are subject to similar changes. Any such changes could require us to revise our ongoing compliance procedures, incur increased compliance costs and expend additional resources. There is no assurance that we will be able to comply or continue to comply with applicable regulations, which could impact our ability to continue to carry on business as currently conducted andCOVID-19 pandemic, the potential expansion of our business.

We are subject to compliance with additional regulatoryfor new and other requirements in order to produce and sell in, or export our medical cannabis products to, jurisdictions outside of Canada.

We are 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, to produce or export to, and sell our medical products in, these countries, including, inmore-transmissible variants, the case of certain countries, the ability to demonstrate compliance with GMP standards. Our current certification of compliance with GMP standards for

24


production at Tilray Nanaimo and Tilray Portugal and any other GMP certification that we may receive in the future subject us, or will in the future subject us, 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. Moreover, future governmental actions in countries where we operate, or export medical cannabis products, may limit or altogether restrict the import and/or export of cannabis for medical purposes.

The continuation or expansion of our international operations depends on our ability to renew or secure necessary permits, licenses and other approvals. 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 prevent us from continuing our operations in, marketing efforts in, or exporting to countries other than Canada. In addition, the export and import of medical 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 medical cannabis we can export to any particular country.

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

According to recent Canadian government statistics, medicinal cannabis patient numbers continue to experience decline. A continued decrease in the overall size of the medical cannabis market in Canada as a result of the legal adult-use market or other factors may reduce our medical sales and revenue prospects in Canada. Factors that may influence demand for medical cannabis include the availability of product in each market, the price of medical cannabis products in relation to similar adult-use cannabis products, and the ease with which each market can be accessed in the individual provinces and territories of Canada. The impact of adult-use cannabis on the medical market is not yet fully understood as the market is still in a state of flux. In addition, the impact of the new form factors, legalized in October 2019, on the medical vs adult-use market is not yet established.

The regulation of cannabis for medical purposes under the CR is expected to be reviewed in light of the adult-use market, which review is scheduled to commence in October 2021. The effect on our business, and the medical cannabis market in general, of such a review is uncertain.

Research regarding the health effects of medical cannabis in relatively early stagessituation remains dynamic and subject to further study which could impact demand for our medical cannabis products.

Research regarding the medical benefits, viability, safety, efficacyrapid and dosing of cannabis or isolated cannabinoids (such as CBD and THC) remains in relatively early stages. There have been few clinical trials on the benefits of cannabis or isolated cannabinoids conducted by us or by others. Future research and clinical trials may draw opposing conclusions to statements contained in the articles, reports and studies we have relied on or could reach different or negative conclusions regarding the medical benefits, viability, safety, efficacy, dosing or other facts and perceptions related to medical cannabis, which could adversely affect social acceptance of cannabis and the demand for our products.

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

Currently, our activities and resources are primarily focused on the operation of Tilray Nanaimo, High Park Farms and the High Park Processing Facility, Tilray Portugal and Manitoba Harvest. Tilray Nanaimo, High Park Farms and our High Park Processing Facility each have a site-specific license issued by Health Canada under the CR. Adverse changes or developments affecting any of these facilities, including, but not limited to, disease or infestation of our crops, a fire, an explosion, a power failure, a natural disaster, an epidemic, pandemic or other public health crisis, or apossibly material failure of our security infrastructure, could reduce or require us to entirely suspend our production of cannabis. See also, “changes.  Risks related to COVID-19”.

A significant failure of our site security measures and other facility requirements, including any failure to comply with regulatory requirements under the CR, could have an impact on our ability to continue operating under our Health Canada licenses and our prospects of renewing our licenses, and could also result in a suspension or revocation of these Health Canada licenses. As we produce much of our medical cannabis products in Tilray Nanaimo, any event impacting our ability to continue production at Tilray Nanaimo, or requiring us to delay

25


production, would prevent us from continuing to operate our business until operations at Tilray Nanaimo could be resumed, or until we were able to commence production at another facility.

We are currently expanding our Tilray Portugal facilities. We expect the expanded facilities will significantly increase our cultivation, growing, processing and distribution capacity; however, development impediments such as construction delays or cost over-runs in respect to the development of these facilities, howsoever caused, could delay or prevent our ability to produce cannabis at these facilities. It is also possible that the final costs of the major equipment contemplated by our capital expenditure program relating to the development of Tilray Portugal may be significantly greater than anticipated, in which circumstance we may be required to curtail, or extend the timeframes for completing, such capital expenditure plans which would reduce our production capacity.

If we are unsuccessful in scaling operations at our facilities, we may become increasingly reliant on third-party cannabis suppliers, potentially at higher prices than our own cost to produce, which would have a negative impact on gross profit margins.

The medical cannabis industry and market are relatively new and evolving, which could impact our ability to succeed in this industry and market.

We are operating our current business in a relatively new medical cannabis industry and market, and our success depends on our ability to attract and retain patients. In addition to being subject to general business risks applicable to a business involving an agricultural product and a regulated consumer product, we need to continue to build brand awareness of our Tilray brand in the medical cannabis industry and make significant investments in our business strategy and production capacity. These investments include introducing new products into the markets in which we operate, adopting quality assurance protocols and procedures, building our international presence and undertaking regulatory compliance efforts. These activities may not promote our medical products as effectively as intended, or at all, and we expect that our competitors will undertake similar investments to compete with us for market share. Competitive conditions, consumer preferences, regulatory conditions, patient requirements, healthcare practitioner prescribing practices, and spending patterns in this industry and market are relatively unknown and may have unique characteristics that differ from other existing industries and markets and that cause our efforts to further our business to be unsuccessful or to have undesired consequences. As a result, we may not be successful in our efforts to attract and retain patients or to develop new medical cannabis products and produce and distribute these medical cannabis products to the markets in which we operate or to which we export in time to be effectively commercialized, or these activities may require significantly more resources than we currently anticipate in order to be successful.

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

We face, and we expect to continue to face, intense competition from Licensed Producers and other potential competitors, some of which have longer operating histories and more financial resources and manufacturing and marketing experience than we have. In addition, it is possible that the medical cannabis industry will undergo consolidation, creating larger companies with financial resources, manufacturing and marketing capabilities and product offerings that are greater than ours. As a result of this competition, we may be unable to maintain our operations or develop them as currently proposed, on terms we consider acceptable, or at all.

Health Canada has issued hundreds of licenses for Licensed Producers. 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’s medical cannabis industry. We expect to face additional competition from new market entrants that are granted licenses under the CR or existing license holders that are not yet active in the industry. If a significant number of new licenses are granted by Health Canada, we may experience increased competition for market share and may experience downward price pressure on our medical cannabis products as new entrants increase production.

In addition, the CR permits patients in Canada to produce a limited amount of cannabis for their own medical purposes or to designate a person to produce a limited amount of cannabis on their behalf for such purposes. Widespread reliance upon this allowance could reduce the current or future consumer demand for our medical cannabis products.

26


If the number of users of cannabis for medical purposes in Canada increases, the demand for products will increase. This could result in the competition in the medical cannabis industry becoming more intense as current and future competitors begin to offer an increasing number of diversified medical cannabis products. Conversely, if there is a contraction in the medical market for cannabis in Canada, competition for market share may increase. To remain competitive, we intend to continue to invest in research and development and sales and patient support; however, we may not have sufficient resources to maintain research and development and sales and patient support efforts on a competitive basis.

In addition to the foregoing, the legal landscape for medical cannabis use is changing internationally. We have operations outside of Canada, which may be affected as other countries develop, adopt and change their medical cannabis laws. Increased international competition, including competition from suppliers in other countries who may be able to produce at lower cost, and limitations placed on us by Canadian or other regulations, might lower the demand for our medical cannabis products on a global scale.

General Business Risks and Risks Related to Our Financial Condition and Operations

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

We began operating in 2014 and have yet to generate a profit. We generated a net loss of $271.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, and net losses of $321.2 million, $67.7 million and $7.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Our accumulated deficit was $730.1 million as of December 31, 2020. We intend to continue to expend significant funds to explore potential opportunities and complete strategic mergers and acquisitions, invest in research and development, expand our marketing and sales operations and meet the compliance requirements as a public company.

Our efforts to grow our business may be more costly than we expect and we may not be able to increase our revenue enough to offset higher operating expenses. We may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including as a result of unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications and delays, the other risks described in this Annual Report on Form 10-Kherein and other unknown events. The amount of future net losses will depend, in part, on the growth of our future expenses and our ability to generate revenue. If we continue to incur losses in the future, the net losses and negative cash flows incurred to date, together with any such future losses, will have an adverse effect on our stockholders’ equity and working capital. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with producing and selling cannabis and beverage alcohol products, as outlined herein, we are unable to accurately predict when, or if, we will be able to achieve profitability. Even if we achieve profitability in the future, we may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods. If we are unable to achieve and sustain profitability, the market price of our Class 2 common stock may significantly decrease and our ability to raise capital, expand our business or continue our operations may be impaired.

 


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

We Tilrayhave has previously been named as a defendant in a class action relating to the prior merger of Privateer Holdings, Inc. with and into oura wholly owned subsidiary (referred to as the Downstream Merger), and a class action related to the drop in our stock price,price. In addition, legal proceedings covering a wide range of matters are pending or threatened in various U.S. and foreign jurisdictions against the Company. The type of claims that may be raised in these proceedings include product liability, unfair trade practices, antitrust, tax, contraband shipments, patent infringement, employment matters, claims for contribution and claims of competitors, shareholders or distributors. Litigation is subject to uncertainty and it is possible that there could be adverse developments in pending or future cases.

We are also subject to other litigation and demands relating to business decisions, regulatory and industry changes, supply relationships, and our business acquisition matters and related activities. Litigation may include claims for substantial compensatory or punitive damages or claims for indeterminate amounts of damages. Both the CompanyTilray and its various subsidiaries are also involved from time to time in other reviews, investigations and proceedings (both formal and informal) by governmental and self-regulatory agencies regarding our business. These matters could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, injunctions or other relief.

We have incurred incurred and may continue to incur substantial costs and expenses relating directly to these actions. Responding to such actions could divert management’s attention away from our business operations and result in substantial costs. For more information on our pending legal proceedings, see “PartPart I, Item 3. Legal Proceedings”Proceedings.

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

We currently conduct conduct operations in multiple countries and plan to expand these international operations. As a result of our operations, we are exposed to various levels of political, economic, legal and other risks and uncertainties associated with operating in or exporting to these jurisdictions. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, changes in the laws, regulations and policies governing the production, sale and use of cannabis and cannabis-basedour products, political instability, instability at the United Nations level, currency controls, fluctuations in currency exchange rates and rates of inflation, labor unrest, changes in taxation laws, regulations and policies, restrictions on foreign exchange and repatriation and changing political conditions and governmental regulations relating to foreign investment and the cannabis business more generally.

Changes, if any, in the laws, regulations and policies relating to the advertising, production, sale and use of cannabis and cannabis-basedour products or in the general economic policies in these jurisdictions, or shifts in political attitude related thereto, may adversely affect the operations, or profitability of our operations, in these countries. As we explore novel business models, such as global co-branded products, cannabinoid clinics and cannabis retail, international regulations will become increasingly challenging to manage. Specifically, our operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to, but not limited to, restrictions on advertising, production, price controls, export controls, controls on currency remittance, increased income taxes, restrictions on foreign investment, land and water use restrictions and government policies rewarding contracts to local competitors or requiring domestic producers or vendors to purchase supplies from a particular jurisdiction. Failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local practices could result in additional taxes, costs, civil or criminal fines or penalties or other expenses being levied on our international operations, as well as other potential adverse consequences such as the loss of necessary permits or governmental approvals.

Furthermore, although we have begun production at Tilray Portugal with a view toward facilitating exports of our cannabis products to countries in the EU (or, as permissible, elsewhere) from Portugal rather than from Canada, there is no assurance that these EU (or non-EU) countrieswe will authorizebe able to secure the requisite import and export permits for the international distribution of our cannabis products from Portugal, or that Portugal will authorize or continue to authorize such exports, or that such exports will provide us with advantages over our current EU export strategy. Each country in the EU (or elsewhere)products. Countries may also impose restrictions or limitations on imports that require the use of, or confer significant advantages upon, producers within that particular country. As a result, we may be required to establish production facilities similar to Tilray Portugal in one or more countries in the EU (or elsewhere) where we wish to distribute our cannabis products in order to take advantage of the favorable legislation offered to producers in these countries.

A renewal/prolongation of our GMP license in Germany is a precondition to allow import, distribution and sale of the Tilray product portfolio in the German market, and any failure to achieve such renewal could have a material impact on our business.

We face risks associated with our expansion into new markets outside of the current jurisdictions where we conduct business.

We plan in the future to expand our operations and business into jurisdictions outside of the jurisdictions where we currently carry on business. There can be no assurance that any market for our products will develop in any such foreign jurisdiction. We may face new or unexpected risks or significantly increase our exposure to one or more existing risk factors, including economic instability, new competition, changes in laws and regulations, including the possibility that we could be in violation of these laws and regulations as a result of such changes, and the effects of competition. These factors may limit our capability to successfully expand our operations in, or export our products to, to such jurisdictions.

We may be unable to sustain our revenue growth and development, and may be forced to adjust our operations accordingly.

Our revenue has grown in recent years. Our ability to sustain this growth will depend on a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including, but not limited to, the availability of sufficient capital on suitable terms, changes in laws and regulations respecting the production and distribution of cannabis products, competition from other Licensed Producers, the size of the illicit market, the size of the Canadian adult-use market, and our ability to produce sufficient volumes of our cannabis-based products to meet demand. Regulatory changes in the United States, Germany and Canada may continue to attract market entrants, therefore diluting our potential

28



opportunity and early-mover advantage. In addition, we are subject to a variety of business risks generally associated with developing companies. Future development and expansion could place significant strain on our management personnel and likely will require us to recruit additional management personnel, and there is no assurance that we will be able to do so.

During 2020, we implemented significant cost-control measures in reaction to the intense competitive environment, as well as other cannabis industry challenges. These measures included employee furloughs and lay-offs, brand and product portfolio prioritization and production facility closures. It is possible that we may take additional cost-control measures in the future that may slow our revenue growth and development, and could result in material charges and other impairment charges in our statement of operations.  

Market consolidation in the cannabis industry may reduce our ability to compete, due to scale, cost and pricing disadvantages.

The Canadian cannabis industry may experience consolidation, and some of the resulting companies that will be our competitors will have market presence, growth operations, technical and marketing capabilities, personnel, financial and other resources substantially greater than our own. In addition, some of these competitors will be able to raise capital at a lower cost than we will be able to. Consequently, some of these competitors may be able to develop and expand their growth, distribution and retail infrastructures more quickly, adapt more swiftly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, take advantage of acquisition and other opportunities more readily and devote greater resources to the marketing and sale of their products and services than we will be able to. Additionally, the greater brand name recognition of some of our current and future competitors or competitive price pressure may require us to lower prices in order to retain or acquire customers. Finally, the cost advantages of some of these competitors may give them the ability to reduce their prices for an extended period of time or achieve a greater return.

Our business is subject to a variety of local and foreign laws, many of which are unsettled and still developing, which could subject us to claims or otherwise harm our business.

We are subject to a variety of federal, state, provincial and local laws in the United States, Canada and elsewhere. In the United States, despite cannabis having been legalized at the state level for medical use in many states and for adult-use in a number of states, cannabis meeting the statutory definition of “marihuana” continues to be categorized as a Schedule I controlled substance under the federal Controlled Substances Act, or the CSA, and subject to the Controlled Substances Import and Export Act, or the CSIEA. Hemp and marijuana both originate from the Cannabis sativa plant and CBD is a constituent of both. “Marihuana” or “marijuana” is defined in the CSA as a Schedule I controlled substance whereas “Hemp” is essentially any parts of the Cannabis sativa plant that has not been determined to be marijuana. Pursuant to the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, or the Farm Bill, “hemp,” or cannabis and cannabis derivatives containing no more than 0.3% of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is now excluded from the statutory definition of “marijuana” and, as such, is no longer a Schedule I controlled substance under the CSA. Our activity in the United States is limited to (a) certain corporate and administrative services, including accounting, legal and creative services, (b) supply of study drug for clinical trials under DEA and FDA authorization, and (c) participation in the market for hemp and hemp-derived products containing CBD in compliance with the Farm Bill; except as described above, we do not produce or distribute cannabis products in the United States. Therefore, we believe we are not currently subject to the CSA or CSIEA.

We have commercialized in the United States a variety of hemp products, which might include certain cannabinoids including CBD, but would exclude THC at amounts more than 0.3%. While the Farm Bill exempted hemp and hemp derived products from the CSA, any such product commercialization will be subject to various laws, including the Farm Bill, the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, or the FD&CA, the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, or DSHEA, applicable state and/or local laws, and FDA regulations. The FDA has stated in guidance and other public statements that it is prohibited to sell a food, beverage or dietary supplement to which THC or CBD has been added. While the FDA does not have a formal policy of enforcement discretion with respect to any products with added CBD, the agency has stated that its primary focus for enforcement centers on products that put the health and safety of consumers at risk, such as those claiming to prevent, diagnose, mitigate, treat, or cure diseases in the absence of requisite approvals. While the agency’s enforcement to date has therefore focused on products containing CBD and that make drug-like claims, there is the risk that the FDA could expand its enforcement activities and require us to alter our marketing for our hemp-derived CBD products or cease

29


distributing them altogether. Nevertheless, the regulation of hemp and CBD in the United States has been a constantly evolving and changing landscape, with changes in federal and state laws and regulation occurring on a frequent basis. Violations of applicable FDA and other laws could result in warning letters, significant fines, penalties, administrative sanctions, injunctions, convictions or settlements arising from civil proceedings.

We are further subject to a variety of laws and regulations in the United States, Canada and elsewhere that prohibit money laundering, including the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada) and the Money Laundering Control Act (United States), as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder and any related or similar rules, regulations or guidelines issued, administered or enforced by governmental authorities in the United States, Canada or any other jurisdiction in which we have business operations or to which we export. Although we believe that none of our activities implicate any applicable money laundering statutes, in the event that any of our business activities, any dividends or distributions therefrom, or any profits or revenue accruing thereby are found to be in violation of money laundering statutes, such transactions may be viewed as proceeds of crime under one or more of the statutes described above or any other applicable legislation, and any persons, including such United States-based investors, found to be aiding and abetting us in such violations could be subject to liability. Any violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our operations, involve significant management distraction and involve significant costs and expenses, including legal fees. We could also suffer severe penalties, including criminal and civil penalties, disgorgement and other remedial measures.

We are required to comply concurrently with all applicable laws in each jurisdiction where we operate or to which we export our products, and any changes to such laws could adversely impact our business.

Various federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations govern our business in the jurisdictions in which we operateoperate or propose to operate, and in which we export or propose to export our products. Such laws and regulations include those relating to health and safety, conduct of operations and the production, management, transportation, storage and disposal of our products and of certain material used in our operations. In many cases, we must concurrently comply with complex federal, provincial, state and/or local laws in multiple jurisdictions. These laws change frequently and may be difficult to interpret and apply. Compliance with these laws and regulations requires the investment of significant financial and managerial resources, and a determination that we are not in compliance with any of these laws and regulations could harm our brand image and business. Moreover, it is impossible for us to predict the cost or effect of such laws, regulations or guidelines upon our future operations. Changes to these laws or regulations could negatively affect our competitive position within our industry and the markets in which we operate, and there is no assurance that various levels of government in the jurisdictions in which we operate will not pass legislation or regulation that adversely impacts our business.

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

Our participation in the market for hemp-derived CBD products in the United States and elsewhere may require us to employ novel approaches to existing regulatory pathways. Although the passage of the Farm Bill in December 2018 legalized the cultivation of hemp in the United States to produce products containing CBD and other non-THC cannabinoids, it remains unclear how the FDA will regulate this industry, and whether and when the FDA will propose or implement new or additional regulations. On May 31, 2019, the FDA held a public hearing to obtain scientific data and information about the safety, manufacturing, product quality, marketing, labeling, and sale of products containing cannabis or cannabis-derived compounds, including CBD. The FDA has also formed an internal working group to evaluate the potential pathways to market for CBD products. It remains unclear how CBD products will be regulated by the agency going forward.

In addition, such products may be subject to regulation at the state or local levels. While the Farm Bill created a pathway under which hemp and its derivatives are exempted from the definition of marijuana and protected from interference in interstate commerce, state and local authorities have issued their own restrictions on the cultivation or sale of hemp or hemp-derived CBD. This includes laws that ban the cultivation or possession of hemp or any other plant of the cannabis genus and derivatives thereof, such as CBD. State regulators may take enforcement action against food and dietary supplement products that contain CBD, or enact new laws or regulations that prohibit or limit the sale of such products. Unforeseen regulatory obstacles or compliance costs may hinder our ability to successfully compete in the market for such products.

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

We currently have, and may adjust the scope of, and may in the future enter into, strategic alliances with HEXO and other third parties that we believe will complement or augment our existing business. Our ability to complete further strategic alliances is dependent upon, and may be limited by, among other things, the availability of suitable candidates and capital. In addition, strategic alliances could present unforeseen integration obstacles or costs, may not enhance our business or profitability and may involve risks that could adversely affect us, including the investment of significant amounts of management time that may be diverted from operations in order to pursue and complete such transactions or maintain such strategic alliances. We may become dependent on our strategic partners and actions by such partners could harm our business. Future strategic alliances could result in the incurrence of debt, impairment charges, costs and contingent liabilities, and there can be no assurance that future strategic alliances will achieve, or that our existing strategic alliances will continue to achieve, the expected benefits to our business or that we will be able to consummate future strategic alliances on satisfactory terms, or at all.

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

Material acquisitions, dispositions and other strategic transactions involve a number of risks, including: (i) the potential disruption of our ongoing business; (ii) the distraction of management away from the ongoing oversight of our existing business activities; (iii) incurring additional indebtedness; (iv) the anticipated benefits and cost savings of those transactions not being realized fully, or at all, or taking longer to realize than anticipated; (v) an increase in the scope and complexity of our operations andoperations; (vi) the loss or reduction of control over certain of our assets.assets; and (vii) capital stock or cash to pay for the acquisition. Material acquisitions and strategic transactions have been and continue to be material to our business strategy. There can be no assurance that we will find suitable oportunitiesopportunities for strategic transactions at acceptable prices, have sufficient capital resources to pursue such transactions, be successful in negotiating required agreements, or successfully close transactions after signing such agreements. There is no guarantee that any acquisitions will be accretive, or that past or future acquisitions will not result in additional impairments or write downs.

The existence of one or more material liabilities of an acquired company that are unknown to us at the time of acquisition could result in our incurring those liabilities. A strategic transaction may result in a significant change in the nature of our business, operations and strategy, and we may encounter unforeseen obstacles or costs in implementing a strategic transaction or integrating any acquired business into our operations.

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

We grow cannabis, which is an agricultural process. As such, our business is subject to the risks inherent in the agricultural business, including risks of crop failure presented by weather, insects, plant diseases and similar agricultural risks. Although we currentlyprimarily grow our products indoors under climate-controlled conditions, we are developingalso have


certain outdoor operationscultivation capacity and there can be no assurance that natural elements, such as insects and plant diseases, will not entirely interrupt our production activities or have an adverse effect on our business.

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

Three customers accounted for 19%, 15% and 11%, respectively,We derive a significant portion of revenue from the supply contracts we have with 12 Canadian provinces and territories for adult-use cannabis products. There are many factors which could impact our contractual agreements with the year ended December 31, 2020.Four customers accounted for 87%provinces and territories, including but not limited to availability of supply, product selection and the popularity of our adult-use revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020. Two customers accounted for 13% eachproducts with retail customers. If our supply agreements with certain Canadian provinces and territories are amended, terminated or otherwise altered, our sales and results of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019. One customer accounted for 24%operations could be adversely affected, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

In addition, not all of our revenue forsupply contracts with the year ended December 31, 2018.

We believe that our operating results for the foreseeable future will continue to depend on sales to a small number of customers. These customers have noCanadian provinces and territories contain purchase commitments andor otherwise obligate the provincial or territorial wholesaler to buy a minimum or fixed volume of cannabis products from us. The amount of cannabis that the provincial or territorial wholesalers may cancel, changepurchase under the supply contracts may therefore vary from what we expect or delay purchases with little or no notice or penalty.planned for. As a result, of this customer concentration, our revenuerevenues could fluctuate materially in the future and could be materially and disproportionately impacted by the purchasing decisions of these customersthe provincial or any other significant customer. territorial wholesalers. In the future, these customers may decide to purchase less product from us than they have in the past, may alter purchasing patterns at any time with limited notice,or return inventory, or may decide not to continue to purchase our products, at all, any of which could cause our revenue to decline materially and materially harm our financial

31


condition and results of operations. If we are unable to diversify our customer base, we will continue to be susceptible to risks associated with customer concentration.

We may be unable to attract or retain key personnel, and we may be unable to attract, develop and retain additional employees required for our development and future success.

Our success is largely dependent on the performance of our management team and certain employees and our continuing ability to attract, develop, motivate and retain highly qualified and skilled employees. Qualified individuals are in high demand, and we may incur significant costs to attract and retain them. The loss of the services of any key personnel, or an inability to attract other suitably qualified persons when needed, could prevent us from executing on our business plan and strategy, and we may be unable to find adequate replacements on a timely basis, or at all. We do not currently maintain key-person insurance on the lives of any of our key personnel.

Further, officers, directors, and certain key personnel at each of our facilities that are licensed by Health Canada are subject to the requirement to obtain and maintain a security clearance from Health Canada under the CR. Moreover, under the CR, an individual with security clearance must be physically present on site when other individuals are conducting activities with cannabis. Under the CR, a security clearance is valid for a limited time and must be renewed before the expiry of a current security clearance. There is no assurance that any of our existing personnel who presently or may in the future require a security clearance will be able to obtain or renew such clearances or that new personnel who require a security clearance will be able to obtain one. A failure by an individual in a key operational position to maintain or renew his or her security clearance could result in a reduction or complete suspension of our operations. In addition, if an individual in a key operational position leaves us, and we are unable to find a suitable replacement who is able to obtain a security clearance required by the CR in a timely manner, or at all, we may not be able to conduct our operations at planned production volume levels or at all.

The CR also requires us to designate a qualified individual in charge who is responsible for supervising activities relating to the production of study drugs for clinical trials, which individual must meet certain educational and security clearance requirements. If our current designated qualified person in charge fails to maintain their security clearance, or if our current designated qualified person in charge leaves us and we are unable to find a suitable replacement who meets these requirements, we may no longer be able to continue our clinical trial activities.

 


Increased labor costs, potential organization of our workforce, employee strikes, and other labor-related disruption may adversely affect our operations.

Outside Portugal, none of our employees are represented by a labor union or subject to a collective bargaining agreement. In Portugal, none of our employees are represented by a labor union or subject to any workforce-initiated labor agreement. As with allother companies carrying on business in Portugal, we are subject to a government-mandated collective bargaining agreement, which grants employees nominal additional benefits beyond those required by the local labor code. We cannot assure that our labor costs going forward will remain competitive based on various factors, such as: (i) our workforce may organize in the future and labor agreements may be put in place that have significantly higher labor rates and company obligations; (ii) our competitors may maintain significantly lower labor costs, thereby reducing or eliminating our comparative advantages vis-à-vis one or more of our competitors or the larger industry; and (iii) our labor costs may increase in connection with our growth.

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

Our business is dependent on a number of key inputs and their related costs (certain of which are sourced in other countries and on different continents), including raw materials, supplies and equipment related to our operations, as well as electricity, water and other utilities. We operate global manufacturing facilities, and have dispersed suppliers and customers. Governments may regulate or restrict the flow of our labor or our products, and the Company's operations, suppliers, customers and distribution channels could be severely impacted. While we have not experienced any material supply chain disruptions, any significant future governmental-mandated or market-related interruption, price increase or negative change in the availability or economics of the supply chain for key inputs and, in particular, rising or volatile energy costs could curtail or preclude our ability to continue production. In addition, our operations would be significantly affected by a prolonged power outage.

Our ability to compete and grow cannabis is dependent on us having access, at a reasonable cost and in a timely manner, to skilled labor, equipment, parts and components. No assurances can be given that we will be

32


successful in maintaining our required supply of labor, equipment, parts and components. See also “Risks relatedIn addition, the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be taken in the future, have and may continue to COVID-19”.

We may require third party supply of quality cannabis flower, which may adversely affecthave a negative impact on our costs, including for input materials, energy and subject us to unreliable supply chains or product quality.

Our business is highly dependent on the production and sale of acceptable and certifiable cannabis flower. Our operations may not produce sufficient volumes of cannabis flower or particular cultivars (commonly referred to as “strains”) to meet consumer demand. It is also possible that our cannabis flower production fails to meet our strict internal quality standards or external regulation specifications. This may require us to contract with third parties to purchase cannabis flower. There is no guarantee we will be able to source cannabis flower at attractive prices or that any third party-sourced product will meet our quality standards and all regulatory requirements. If we are unable to source sufficient cannabis flower for any of these reasons, our sales goals may not be achieved or our costs may increase, or both may occur. An increasing reliance on third party cannabis flower supply could materially impact our business reputation, financial condition and results of operations.

transportation.  

Fluctuations in cannabinoid prices relative to contracted prices with third party suppliers could negatively impact our earnings.

A portion of our results of operations and financial condition, as well as the selling prices for our products, are dependent upon cannabinoid supply contracts. As part of our normal course operations, we periodically enter into large and medium-to-long-term supply contracts with third-party growers. Production and pricing of cannabinoids are determined by constantly changing market forces of supply and demand over which we have limited or no control. The market for cannabis biomass is particularly volatile compared to other commoditized markets due to the relatively nascent maturity of the industry in which we operate. The lack of centralized data and large variations in product quality make it difficult to establish a “spot price” for cannabinoids and develop an effective price hedging strategy. Accordingly, supply contracts with any term may prove to be costly in the future to the extent cannabinoid prices decrease dramatically or at a faster rate than anticipated. Furthermore, supply contracts typically include minimum purchase requirements which could force us to buy significant quantities of product at non-competitive prices in a rapidly changing market.

Our failure to successfully negotiate supply contracts that address such market vagaries could result in us being contractually obligated to purchase significant amounts of products, some of which may be priced above then-current market prices, or interruption of the supply of inputs for the manufacturing of our products, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and prospects.

We may be negatively impacted by volatility in the political and economic environment, and a period of sustained inflation across the markets in which we operate could result in higher operating costs.

Trade, monetary and fiscal policies, and political and economic conditions may substantially change, and credit markets may experience periods of constriction and variability. These conditions may impact our business. Further rising inflation may negatively impact our business, raise cost and reduce profitability. While we would take actions, wherever possible, to reduce the impact of the effects of inflation, in the case of sustained inflation across several of


the markets in which we operate, it could become increasingly difficult to effectively mitigate the increases to our costs. In addition, the effects of inflation on consumers’ budgets could result in the reduction of our customers’ spending habits. If we are unable to take actions to effectively mitigate the effect of the resulting higher costs, our profitability and financial position could be negatively impacted.

We face risks associated with the transportation of our cannabis products to consumers in a safe and efficient manner.

Due to our direct-to-consumer shipping model for medical cannabis in Canada, weWe depend on fast, cost-effective, and efficient third-party transportationcourier services to distribute our medical cannabis products. We also use such servicesproducts to transfer bulk shipments to provincesboth wholesale and territories for further distribution to private and public retailers focused on non-medical consumers.retail customers. Any prolonged disruption of third-party transportation services such as any Canada Post disruptions, could have a material adverse effect on our sales volumes or satisfaction with our services. Rising costs associated with third-party transportation services used by us to ship our products may also adversely impact our profitability, and more generally our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The security of our products during transportation to and from our facilities is of the utmost concern. A breach of security during transport or delivery could result in the loss of high-value product and forfeiture of import and export approvals, since such approvals are shipment specific. Any failure to take steps necessary to ensure the safekeeping of our cannabis products could also have an impact on our ability to continue supplying provinces and territories, to continue operating under our existing licenses, to renew or receive amendments to our existing licenses or to obtain new licenses.

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

33


Manufacturers and distributors of cannabis, hemp and beverage alcohol products are sometimes subject to the recall or return of their products for a variety of reasons, including product defects, such as contamination, adulteration, unintended harmful side effects or interactions with other substances, packaging safety, and inadequate or inaccurate labeling disclosure. Although we have detailed procedures in place for testing finished cannabis products, there can be no assurance that any quality, potency or contamination problems will be detected in time to avoid unforeseen product recalls, regulatory action or lawsuits, whether frivolous or otherwise. If any of the cannabis products produced by us are recalled due to an alleged product defect or for any other reason, we could be required to incur the unexpected expense of the recall and any legal proceedings that might arise in connection with the recall. As a result of any such recall, we may lose a significant amount of sales and may not be able to replace those sales at an acceptable gross profit or at all. In addition, a product recall may require significant management attention or damage our reputation and goodwill or that of our products or brands.

Additionally, product recalls may lead to increased scrutiny of our operations by Health Canada or other regulatory agencies, requiring further management attention, increased compliance costs and potential legal fees, fines, penalties and other expenses. Any product recall affecting the cannabis industry more broadly, whether or not involving us, could also lead consumers to lose confidence in the safety and security of thecannabis products sold by Licensed Producers generally, including products sold by us.

We may be subject to product liability claims or regulatory action. This risk is exacerbated by the fact that cannabis use may increase the risk of serious adverse side effects.

As a manufacturer and distributor of products which are ingested by humans, we face the risk of exposure to product liability claims, regulatory action and litigation if our products are alleged to have caused loss or injury. We may be subject to these types of claims due to allegations that our products caused or contributed to injury or illness, failed to include adequate instructions for use or failed to include adequate warnings concerning possible side effects or interactions with other substances. This risk is exacerbated by the fact that cannabis use may increase the risk of developing schizophrenia and other psychoses, symptoms for individuals with bipolar disorder, and other side effects. Furthermore, we are now offering an expanded assortment of form factors, some of which may have additional adverse side effects, such as vaping products. See also Risk Factor Our vape business is subject to uncertainty in the evolving vape market due to negative public sentiment and regulatory scrutiny.

Previously unknown adverse reactions resulting from human consumption of cannabis or beverage alcohol products alone or in combination with other medications or substances could also occur.


In addition, the manufacture and sale of cannabisour products, like the manufacture and sale of any ingested product, involves a risk of injury to consumers due to tampering by unauthorized third parties or product contamination. We have in the past recalled, and may again in the future have to recall, certain of our cannabis products as a result of potential contamination and quality assurance concerns. A product liability claim or regulatory action against us could result in increased costs and could adversely affect our reputation and goodwill with our patientscustomers and consumers generally. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain product liability insurance on acceptable terms or with adequate coverage against potential liabilities. Such insurance is expensive and may not be available in the future on acceptable terms, or at all. The inability to obtain sufficient insurance coverage on reasonable terms or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims could result in us becoming subject to significant liabilities that are uninsured and also could adversely affect our commercial arrangements with third parties.

We rely on third-party distributors to distribute our products, and those distributors may not perform their obligations.

We rely on third-party distributors, including pharmaceutical distributors, courier services, and government agencies, and may in the future rely on other third parties, to distribute our products. If these distributors do not successfully carry out their contractual duties, if there is a delay or interruption in the distribution of our products, or if these third parties damage our products, it could negatively impact our revenue from product sales. Any damage to our products, such as product spoilage, could expose us to potential product liability, damage our reputation and the reputation of our brands or otherwise harm our business.

We, or the cannabis industry more generally, may receive unfavorable publicity or become subject to negative consumer or investor perception.

34


We believe that the cannabis industry is highly dependent upon positive consumer and investor perception regarding the benefits, safety, efficacy and quality of the cannabis distributed to consumers. The perception of the cannabis industry and cannabis products, currently and in the future, may be significantly influenced by scientific research or findings, regulatory investigations, litigation, political statements, media attention and other publicity (whether or not accurate or with merit) both in Canada and in other countries relating to the consumption of cannabis products, including unexpected safety or efficacy concerns arising with respect to cannabis products or the activities of industry participants. There can be no assurance that future scientific research, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other research findings or publicity will be favorable to the cannabis market or any particular cannabis product or will be consistent with earlier publicity. Adverse scientific research reports, findings and regulatory proceedings that are, or litigation, media attention or other publicity that is, perceived as less favorable than, or that questions, earlier research reports, findings or publicity (whether or not accurate or with merit) could result in a significant reduction in the demand for our cannabis products. Further, adverse publicity reports or other media attention regarding the safety, efficacy and quality of cannabis, or our products specifically, or associating the consumption of cannabis with illness or other negative effects or events, could adversely affect us. This adverse publicity could arise even if the adverse effects associated with cannabis products resulted from consumers’ failure to use such products legally, appropriately or as directed.

Certain events or developments in the cannabis industry more generally may impact our reputation.

Damage to our reputation can result from the actual or perceived occurrence of any number of events, including any negative publicity, whether true or not. As a producer and distributor of cannabis, which is a controlled substance in Canada that has previously been commonly associated with various other narcotics, violence and criminal activities, there is a risk that our business might attract negative publicity. There is also a risk that the actions of other Licensed Producers or of other companies and service providers in the cannabis industry may negatively affect the reputation of the industry as a whole and thereby negatively impact our reputation. The increased usage of social media and other web-based tools used to generate, publish and discuss user-generated content and to connect with other users has made it increasingly easier for individuals and groups to communicate and share negative opinions and views in regards to our activities and the cannabis industry in general, whether true or not.

We do not ultimately have direct control over how we or the cannabis industry is perceived by others. Reputational issues may result in decreased investor confidence, increased challenges in developing and maintaining community relations and present an impediment to our overall ability to advance our business strategy and realize on our growth prospects.

Failure to comply with safety, health and environmental regulations applicable to our operations and industry may expose us to liability and impact operations.

Safety, health and environmental laws and regulations affect nearly all aspects of our operations, including product development, working conditions, waste disposal, emission controls, the maintenance of air and water quality standards and land reclamation, and, with respect to environmental laws and regulations, impose limitations on the generation, transportation, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. Compliance with GMP requires satisfying additional standards for the conduct of our operations and subjects us to ongoing compliance inspections in respect of these standards in connection with our GMP certified facilities. Compliance with safety, health and environmental laws and regulations can require significant expenditures, and failure to comply with such safety, health and environmental laws and regulations may result in the imposition of fines and penalties, the temporary or permanent suspension of operations, the imposition of clean-up costs resulting from contaminated properties, the imposition of damages and the loss of or refusal of governmental authorities to issue permits or licenses to us or to certify our compliance with GMP standards. Exposure to these liabilities may arise in connection with our existing operations, our historical operations and operations that we may undertake in the future. We could also be held liable for worker exposure to hazardous substances and for accidents causing injury or death. There can be no assurance that we will at all times be in compliance with all safety, health and environmental laws and regulations notwithstanding our attempts to comply with such laws and regulations.

In addition, government environmental approvals and permits are currently, and may in the future be required in connection with our operations. To the extent such approvals are required and not obtained, we may be curtailed or prohibited from its proposed business activities or from proceeding with the development of our operations as currently proposed. Failure to comply with applicable environmental laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of


additional equipment, or remedial actions. We may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage due to our operations and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable environmental laws or regulations.

Changes in applicable safety, health and environmental standards may impose stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and

35


employees. We are not able to determine the specific impact that future changes in safety, health and environmental laws and regulations may have on our industry, operations and/or activities and our resulting financial position; however, we anticipate that capital expenditures and operating expenses will increase in the future as a result of the implementation of new and increasingly stringent safety, health and environmental laws and regulations. Further changes in safety, health and environmental laws and regulations, new information on existing safety, health and environmental conditions or other events, including legal proceedings based upon such conditions or an inability to obtain necessary permits in relation thereto, may require increased compliance expenditures by us.

We may become subject to liability and harm arising from fraudulent or illegal activity by our employees, contractors, consultants and others.

We are exposed to the risk that our employees, independent contractors, consultants, service providers and licensors may engage in fraudulent or other illegal activity. Misconduct by these parties could include intentional undertakings of unauthorized activities, or reckless or negligent undertakings of authorized activities, in each case on our behalf or in our service that violate: (i) government regulations, specifically Health Canada regulations; (ii) manufacturing standards; (iii) Canadian federal and provincial healthcare laws and regulations; (iv) Canadian federal and provincial privacy laws and regulations; (v) laws that require the true, complete and accurate reporting of financial information or data; (vi) United States federal laws banning the possession, sale or importation of cannabis into the United States and prohibiting the financing of activities outside the United States that are unlawful under Canadian or other foreign laws or (vii) the terms of our agreements with insurers. For example, we could be exposed to class action and other litigation, increased Health Canada inspections and related sanctions, the loss of current GMP compliance certifications or the inability to obtain future GMP compliance certifications, lost sales and revenue or reputational damage as a result of prohibited activities that are undertaken in the growing or production process of our products without our knowledge or permission and contrary to our internal policies, procedures and operating requirements.

We cannot always identify and prevent misconduct by our employees and other third parties, including service providers and licensors, and the precautions taken by us to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown, unanticipated or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting us from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from such misconduct. If any such actions are instituted against us, and we are not successful in defending ourselves or asserting our rights, those actions could have a significant impact on our business, including the imposition of civil, criminal or administrative penalties, damages, monetary fines and contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings or curtailment of our operations.

We may experience breaches of security at our facilities, which could result in product loss and liability.

Because of the nature of our products and the limited legal channels for distribution, as well as the concentration of inventory in our facilities, we are subject to the risk of theft of our products and other security breaches. A security breach at any one of our facilities could result in a significant loss of available products, expose us to additional liability under applicable regulations and to potentially costly litigation or increase expenses relating to the resolution and future prevention of similar thefts, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be subject to risks related to our information technology systems, including service interruption, cyber-attacks and misappropriation of data, which could disrupt operations and may result in financial losses and reputational damage.

We have entered into agreements with third parties for hardware, software, telecommunications and other information technology, or IT, services in connection with our operations. Our operations depend, in part, on how well we and our vendors protect networks, equipment, IT systems and software against damage from a number of threats, including, but not limited to, cable cuts, damage to physical plants, natural disasters, intentional damage and destruction, fire, power loss, hacking, computer viruses, vandalism, theft, malware, ransomware and phishing attacks. We are increasingly reliant on Cloud-based systems for economies of scale and our mobile workforce, which could result in increased attack vectors or other significant disruptions to our work processes. Any of these and other events could result in IT system failures, delays or increases in capital expenses. Our operations also depend on the timely maintenance, upgrade and replacement of networks, equipment and IT systems and software,

36


as well as preemptive expenses to mitigate the risks of failures. The failure of IT systems or a component of IT systems could, depending on the nature of any such failure, adversely impact our reputation and results of operations.

There are a number of laws protecting the confidentiality of certainpersonal information and patient health information, and other personal information, including patient records, and restricting the use and disclosure of that protected information. In particular, the privacy rules under the Personal Information Protection and Electronics Documents Act (Canada), or PIPEDA, the European Unions’ General Data Protection Regulation, or the GDPR, and similar laws in other jurisdictions, protect personal information, including medical records and other personal information of individuals. We collect and store personal information about our employees and customers and are responsible for protecting that information from privacy breaches. A privacy breach may occur through a procedural or process failure, an IT malfunction or deliberate unauthorized intrusions. Theft of data for competitive purposes, particularly patient lists and preferences, is an ongoing risk whether perpetrated through employee collusion or negligence or through deliberate cyber-attack. Moreover, if we are found to be in violation of the privacy or security rules under PIPEDA or other laws protecting the confidentiality of patient health information, including as a result of data theft and privacy breaches, we could be subject to sanction, litigation and civil or criminal penalties, which could increase our liabilities and harm our reputation.

As cyber threats continue to evolve, we may be required to expend significant additional resources to continue to modify or enhance our protective measures or to investigate and remediate any information security vulnerabilities. While we have implemented security resources to protect our data security and information technology systems, such


measures may not prevent such events. Significant disruption to our information technology system or breaches of data security could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be unable to expand our operations quickly enough to meet demand or successfully manage our operations beyond their current scale.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to manage our expanding operations, including any acquisitions, effectively, that we will be able to sustain or accelerate our growth or that such growth, if achieved, will result in profitable operations, that we will be able to attract and retain sufficient management personnel necessary for continued growth or that we will be able to successfully make strategic investments or acquisitions. This challenge has been compounded with the launch of multiple new form factors as a result of Cannabis 2.0. See also “We may not be able to successfully develop new products or commercialize such products.”

Demand for cannabis-based products is dependent on a number of social, political and economic factors that are beyond our control. There is no assurance that an increase in existing demand will occur, that we will benefit from any such demand increase or that our business will remain profitable even in the event of such an increase in demand. If we are unable to achieve or sustain profitability, the value of our Class 2 common stock and the notes may significantly decrease.

The cannabis industry continues to face significant funding challenges, and we may not be able to secure adequate or reliable sources of funding, which may impact our operations and potential expansion.

The continued development of our business will require significant additional financing, and there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain the financing necessary to achieve our business objectives. Our ability to obtain additional financing will depend on investor demand, our performance and reputation, market conditions, and other factors. Our inability to raise such capital could result in the delay or indefinite postponement of our current business objectives or our inability to continue to operate our business. On February 28, 2020, we entered into a senior secured credit facility with Bridging Finance Inc., for an aggregate principal amount of $59.6 million, as further amended on June 5, 2020, the “Senior Credit Facility.” On March 17, 2020, we issued Class 2 common stock, pre-funded warrants and warrants, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $85.3 million. There can be no assurance that additional capital or other types of equity or debt financing will be available if needed or that, if available, the terms of such financing will be favorable to us. See also “Our senior secured credit facility contains covenant restrictions that may limit our ability to operate our business.”

In addition, from time to time, we may enter into transactions to acquire assets or the capital stock or other equity interests of other entities. Our continued growth may be financed, wholly or partially, with debt, which may

37


increase our debt levels above industry standards. Any debt financing secured in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. Debt financings may also contain provisions that, if breached, may entitle lenders or their agents to accelerate the repayment of loans or realize a first priority security over our significant operating assets, and there is no assurance that we would be able to repay such loans in such an event or prevent the enforcement of security granted pursuant to any such debt financing.

Our senior secured credit facility contains covenant restrictions that may limit our ability to operate our business.

On February 28, 2020, we entered into the Senior Credit Facility. The Senior Credit Facility contains,existing and any of our other future debt agreements may contain covenant restrictions that limit our ability to operate our business and pursue beneficial transactions.

Our existing debt agreements and future debt agreements may contain, covenant restrictions that limit our ability to operate our busines, including restrictions on our ability to among other things, invest in our existing facilities, incur additional debt or issue guarantees, create additional liens, repurchase stock or make other restricted payments, and make certain voluntary prepayments of specified debt.payments. As a result of these covenants, our ability to respond to changes in business and economic conditions and engage in beneficial transactions, including to obtain additional financing as needed,and pursue business opportunities, may be restricted. Furthermore, our failure to comply with our debt covenants could result in a default under our debt agreements, which could permit the holders to accelerate our obligation to repay the debt.debt and to enforce security over our assets. If any of our debt is accelerated, we may not have sufficient funds available to repay it.

it or be able to obtain new financing to refinance the debt.

Servicing our debt will require a significant amount of cash, and we may not have sufficient cash flow from our business to pay our substantial debt.

As of December 31, 2020, we had $306.3 million in aggregate principalOur substantial consolidated indebtedness (refer to Notes 14 & 15) to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K).

Our substantial consolidated indebtedness may increase our vulnerability to any generally adverse economic and industry conditions. We and our subsidiaries may, subject to the limitations in the terms of our existing and future indebtedness, incur additional debt, secure existing or future debt or recapitalize our debt. Our ability to make scheduled payments of the principal of, to pay interest on or to refinance our current and future indebtedness, depends on our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. Our business has not generated positive cash flow from operations. If this continues in the future, we may not have sufficient cash flows to service our debt and make necessary capital expenditures. If we are unable to generate such cash flow, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring debt or obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive. Our ability to refinance our current and future indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on our debt obligations.

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

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d(f) under the Exchange Act, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Our managementDue to the work around integration and modification to internal control over financial reporting and other personnel have limited experience operatingpolicies and procedures, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,


projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

It is not expected that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a public company, which may result in a failurecontrol system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of our ICFR and Disclosure Controls and Procedures (“DCP”) necessarycontrols must be considered relative to ensure timely and accurate reporting of operational and financial results.their costs. Due to inherent limitations, our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements, includingmisstatements.The inherent limitations include the possibilityrealities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of human error, the circumventionsimple errors or overridingmistakes. Controls can also be circumvented by individual acts of controls,certain persons, by collusion of two or fraud.

A material weakness is a deficiency,more people or combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatementby management override of the annualcontrols. Due to the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or interim financial statementsfraud may occur and may not be detected in a timely manner or at all. We cannot guarantee that we will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As of December 31, 2020, we identifiedhave a material weakness in one component ofour internal control as defined by COSO 2013 (Control Activities). In particular, we did not fully design and implement effective control activities based on the criteria establishedcontrols in the COSO framework. We have identified deficiencies that constitute a

38


future. If we experience any material weakness either individually orin our internal controls in the aggregate. This material weakness is attributable to the following factors:

We did not have effective controls over the review procedures for balance sheet account reconciliations and manual journal entries.

We did not have effective controls over the completeness and accuracy of key spreadsheets and reports used in the measurement and valuation of inventory.

We did not have documented evidence of review procedures and did not have sufficient segregation of duties withinfuture, our accounting function for Manitoba Harvest and the Portugal business unit.

Due to the existence of the above material weakness, management, including the CEO and CFO, has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2020. This material weakness creates a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to the consolidated financial statements will notmay contain misstatements and we could be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Conflicts of interest may arise between us andrequired to restate our directors and officers as a result of other business activities undertaken by such individuals.

We may be subject to various potential conflicts of interest because some of our directors and executive officers may be engaged in a range of business activities. In addition, our directors and executive officers are permitted under their applicable agreements with us to devote time to their outside business interests, so long as such activities do not materially or adversely interfere with their duties to us and subject to any contractual provisions restricting such activities. These business interests could require the investment of significant time and attention by our executive officers and directors. In some cases, our executive officers and directors, including our Chief Executive Officer and President, Brendan Kennedy and board member, Michael Auerbach, may have fiduciary obligations associated with business interests that interfere with their ability to devote time to our business and affairs, which could adversely affect our operations. Please refer to the section titled “Transactions with Related Persons” in our Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the SEC on April 30, 2020, for further information.

Third parties with whom we do business may perceive themselves as being exposed to reputational risk as a result of their relationship with us.

The parties with whom we do business, or would like to do business, may perceive that they are exposed to reputational risk as a result of our business activities relating to cannabis, which could hinder our ability to establish or maintain business relationships. These perceptions relating to the cannabis industry may interfere with our relationship with service providers, particularly in the financial services industry.

statements.

Because a significant portion of our sales are generated in Canada and other countries outside the United States, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could harm our results of operations.

The reporting currency for our financial statements is the United States dollar. We derive a significant portion of our revenue and incur a significant portion of our operating costs in Canada and Europe, as well as other countries outside the United States, including Europe and Australia. As a result, changes in the exchange rate in these jurisdictions relative to the United States dollar, may have a significant, and potentially adverse, effect on our results of operations. Our primary risk of loss regarding foreign currency exchange rate risk is caused by fluctuations in the exchange rates between the United States dollar against the Canadian dollar and the Euro, although as we expand internationally, we will be subject to additional foreign currency exchange risks. Because we recognize revenue in Canada in Canadian dollars and revenue in Europe in Euros, if either or both of these currencies weaken against the United States dollar it would have a negative impact on our Canadian and/or European operating results upon the translation of those results into United States dollars for the purposes of consolidation. In addition, a weakening of these foreign currencies against the United States dollar would make it more difficult for us to meet our obligations under the convertible notes.securities we have issued. 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 or losses could have a significant, and potentially adverse, effect on our results of operations.

39


We may have exposure to greater than anticipated tax liabilities, which could seriously harm our business.

Our income tax obligations are based on our corporate operating structure and third-party and intercompany arrangements, including the manner in which we develop, value and use our intellectual property and the valuations of our intercompany transactions. The tax laws applicable to our international business activities, including the laws of the United States, Canada and other jurisdictions, are subject to change and uncertain interpretation. The taxing authorities of the jurisdictions in which we operate may challenge our methodologies for valuing developed technology, intercompany arrangements, or transfer pricing, all of which could increase our worldwide effective tax rate and the amount of taxes that we pay and seriously harm our business. Taxing authorities may also determine that the manner in which we operate our business is not consistent with how we report our income, which could increase our effective tax rate and the amount of taxes that we pay and could seriously harm our business. In addition, our future income taxes could fluctuate because of earnings being lower than anticipated in jurisdictions that have lower statutory tax rates and higher than anticipated in jurisdictions that have higher statutory tax rates, by changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities or by changes in tax laws, regulations or accounting principles.

We are subject to regular review and audit by United States federal, state, provincial and state and foreignlocal tax authorities. Any adverse outcome from a review or audit could seriously harm our business. In addition, determining our worldwide provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities requires significant judgment by management, and there are many transactions where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Although we believe that the amounts recorded in our financial statements are reasonable, the ultimate tax outcome relating to such amounts may differ for such period or periods and may seriously harm our business. Furthermore, due to shifting economic and political conditions, tax


policies, laws, or rates in various jurisdictions, we may be subject to significant changes in ways that impair our financial results. Our results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected by additional taxes imposed on us prospectively or retroactively or additional taxes or penalties resulting from the failure to comply with any collection obligations or failure to provide information for tax reporting purposes to various government agencies.

We may not be able to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards which could result in greater than anticipated tax liabilities.

We have accumulated net operating loss carryforwards in the United States, Canada and other jurisdictions.  Our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards is dependent upon our ability to generate taxable income in future periods. In addition, these net operating loss carryforwards could expire unused or be subject to limitations which impact our ability to offset future income tax liabilities. U.S. federal net operating losses incurred in 2018 and in future years may be carried forward indefinitely.  However, our Canadian net operating loss carry-forwards begin to expire in 2028, and limited carryforward periods also exist in other jurisdictions. As a result, we may not be able realize the full benefit of our net operating loss carryforwards in Canada and other jurisdictions, which could result in increased future tax liability to us. Further, our ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards in the United States and other jurisdictions could be limited from ownership changes in the current and/or prior periods.

Risks Related to our Intellectual Property

We may be subject to risks related to the protection of our intellectual property rights and allegations that we are in violation of intellectual property rights of third parties.

The ownership, licensing and protection of trademarks, patents and intellectual property rights are significant to the success of our business. Unauthorized parties may attempt to replicate or otherwise obtain and use our products and technology. Policing and enforcing the unauthorized use of our current or future trademarks, patents or other intellectual property rights now or in the future could be difficult, expensive, time consuming and unpredictable. Identifying the unauthorized use of intellectual property rights is difficult as we may be unable to effectively monitor and evaluate the products being distributed by our competitors, including unlicensed dispensaries and black-market participants, and the processes used to produce such products. Moreover, we may not be successful in any infringement proceeding.

In addition, other parties may claim that our products, or those that we license from others, infringe on their proprietary or patent protected rights. Such claims, whether or not meritorious, may result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources and legal fees, result in injunctions or temporary restraining orders or require the payment of damages. As well, we may need to obtain licenses from third parties who allege that we have infringed on their lawful rights. Such licenses may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. In addition, we may not be able to obtain or utilize on termsadequately protect our intellectual property.

As long as cannabis remains illegal under U.S. federal law as a Schedule I controlled substance under the CSA, the benefit of certain federal laws and protections that are favorablemay be available to us, or at all, licenses or other rights with respectmost businesses, such as federal trademark and patent protection, may not be available to us. As a result, our intellectual property may not be adequately or sufficiently protected against the use or misappropriation by third parties under such U.S. laws. In addition, since the regulatory framework of the cannabis industry is in a state of flux, we can provide no assurance that we do not own.will obtain protection for our intellectual property, whether on a federal, state or local level.

We also rely on certain trade secrets, technical know-how and proprietary information that are not protected by patents to maintain our competitive position. Our trade secrets, technical know-how and proprietary information, which are not protected by patents, may become known to or be independently developed by competitors, which could adversely affect us.

40


We license certain intellectual property rights from third-party licensors, and the failure of the licensor to properly maintain or enforce their intellectual property rights could have an adverse effect on us.

We are party to a number of licenses, including with entities formerly affiliated with the former Privateer Holdings, Inc. (“Privateer Holdings”) that give us rights to use third-party intellectual property that is useful to our business. Our success will depend, in part, on the ability of the licensor to maintain and enforce its licensed intellectual property, in particular, those intellectual property rights to which we have secured exclusive rights. Without protection for the intellectual property we have licensed, other companies might be able to offer substantially similar products for sale or utilize substantially similar processes, which could have an adverse effect on us.

Any of our licensors may allege that we have breached our license agreement, whether with or without merit, and accordingly seek to terminate our license. If successful, this could result in our loss of the right to use the licensed intellectual property, which could adversely affect our ability to commercialize certain products or services and have a material adverse effect on us.

We may not realize the full benefit of the clinical trials or studies that we participate in if we are unable to secure ownership or the exclusive right to use the resulting intellectual property on commercially reasonable terms.

Although we have participated in several clinical trials, we are not the sponsor of many of these trials and, as such, do not have full control over the design, conduct and terms of the trials. In some cases, for instance, we are only the provider of a cannabis study drug for a trial that is designed and initiated by an independent investigator within an academic institution. In such cases, we are often not able to acquire rights to all the intellectual property generated by the trials. Although the terms of all clinical trial agreements entered into by us provide us with, at a minimum, ownership of intellectual property relating directly to the study drug being trialed (e.g. intellectual property relating to use of the study drug), ownership of intellectual property that does not relate directly to the study drug is often retained by the institution. As such, we are vulnerable to any dispute among the investigator, the institution and us with respect to classification and therefore ownership of any particular piece of intellectual property generated during the trial. Such a dispute may affect our ability to make full use of intellectual property generated by a clinical trial.

Where intellectual property generated by a trial is owned by the institution, we are often granted a right of first negotiation to obtain an exclusive license to such intellectual property. If we exercise such a right, there is a risk that the parties will fail to come to an agreement on the license, in which case such intellectual property may be licensed to other parties or commercialized by the institution.

We may not realize the full benefit of third-party licenses if the licensed material has less market appeal than expected or restrictions on packaging and marketing hinder our ability to realize the value, which may adversely impact profitability.

An integral part of our Canadian adult-use cannabis business strategy involves obtaining territorially exclusive licenses to produce products using various brands and images. As a licensee of brand-based properties, we have no assurance that a particular brand or property will translate into a successful adult-use cannabis product. Additionally, a successful brand may not continue to be successful or maintain a high level of sales. As well, the popularity of licensed properties may not result in popular products or the success of the properties with the public. Promotion, packaging and labelling of adult-use cannabis is strictly regulated. These restrictions may further hinder our ability to benefit from our licenses. Acquiring or renewing licenses may require the payment of minimum guaranteed royalties that we consider to be too high to be profitable, which may result in losing current licenses or opportunities for potential new licenses. If we are unable to acquire or maintain successful licenses on advantageous terms, or to derive sufficient revenue from sales of licensed products, the profitability and success of our adult-use cannabis business may be adversely impacted.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Securities

The price of our Class 2 common stock in public markets has experienced and may continue to experience severe volatility and fluctuations.

The market price for our Class 2 common stock, and the market price of stock of other companies operating in the cannabis industry, has been extremely volatile. For example, during the 2022 fiscal year, ended December 31, 2020, the trading price of our Class 2 common stock ranged between a low sales price of $2.43$3.89 and a high sales price of $22.95 and included single day fluctuations as high as 64.13%. Additionally, during 2019, the trading price of our Class 2 common stock fluctuated between a low sales price of $15.57 and a high sales price of $106.00 per share.$23.04. The market price of our Class 2


common stock may continue to be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following: (i) actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly results of operations; (ii) recommendations by securities research analysts; (iii) changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other issuers that investors deem comparable to us; (iv) the addition or departure of our executive officers or other key personnel; (v) the release or expiration of lock-up or other transfer restrictions on our common stock, such as release of 11.0 million Class 2 shares on April 3, 2020, 19.5 million shares, in aggregate, of Class 1 and Class 2 common stock on June 5, 2020, and 7.0 million shares, of Class 2 common stock on December 14, 2020, each associated with the Downstream Merger;stock; (vi) sales or perceived sales, or the expectation of future sales, of our common stock; (vii) significant acquisitions or business combinations, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by or involving us or our competitors; and (viii) news reports or social media relating to trends, concerns, technological or competitive developments, regulatory changes and other related issues in the cannabis industry or our target markets.markets; and (ix) the increase in the number of retail investors and their participation in social media platforms targeted at speculative investing.

Future sales or distributionsThe volatility of our securities could causestock and the market price for our Class 2 common stock to fall significantly.stockholder base may hinder or prevent us from engaging in beneficial corporate initiatives.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the market perception that the holdersOur stockholder base is comprised of a large number of retail (or non-institutional) investors, which creates more volatility since stock changes hands frequently.  In accordance with our governing documents and applicable laws, there are a number of initiatives that require the approval of stockholders at the annual or a special meeting. To hold a valid meeting, a quorum comprised of stockholders representing one-third of the voting power of our outstanding shares of our Class 2 common stock intend is necessary. A record date is established to sell our Class 2 common stock, could significantly reducedetermine which stockholders are eligible to vote at the market price of our Class 2 common stock.

Pursuantmeeting, which record date must be 30 – 60 days prior to the Downstream Merger, former Privateer Holdingsmeeting. Since our stocks change hands frequently, there can be a significant turnover of stockholders who received shares of our common stock inbetween the Downstream Merger entered into a lock-up agreement. Each Privateer Holdings equity holder who received shares of our stock inrecord date and the Downstream Merger is subjectmeeting date which makes it harder to a lock-up allowing forget stockholders to vote. While we make every effort to engage retail investors, such efforts can be expensive and the sale of such shares only under certain circumstances over a two-year period.

On April 3, 2020, we released 11.0 million shares of our Class 2 common stock, on June 5, 2020, we released 19.5 million shares, in aggregate, of our Class 1 and Class 2 common stock, and on December 14, 2020 we released 7.0 million shares of our Class 2 common stock from the restrictions under the Downstream Merger lock-up agreement. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that sales of those released shares or any future public sales of our securities or the availability of these securities for sale will have on the market price of our Class 2 common stock. In aggregate, 37.5 million shares of Class 1 and Class 2 common stock have been released from the lock-up restrictions of the Downstream Merger, representing approximately 50% of the originally locked-up shares (including for purposes of such percentage calculation shares that remain subject to escrow and/or subject to outstanding assumed stock options). The remaining 50% of the shares subject to the lock-up restrictions are requiredfrequent turnover creates logistical issues.

The release of the remaining portion of shares subject to the lock-up on the described schedule, or on a more accelerated basis, could put significant downward pricing pressure on our stock. If the market price of our Class 2 common stock were to drop as a result, this mighthappen may impede our ability to raisemove forward with initiatives that are intended to grow the business and create stockholder value or prevent us from engaging in such initiatives at all. If we find it necessary to delay or adjourn meetings or to seek approval again, it will be time consuming and we will incur additional capital and might cause our remaining stockholders to lose all or part of their investment.

costs.

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

On March 13, 2020, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Canaccord Genuity LLC relating to the issuance and sale of 7,250,000 shares of our Class 2 common stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase 11,750,000 shares of our Class 2 common stock and accompanying warrants to purchase 19,000,000 shares of our Class 2 common stock at a price to the public of $4.76 per share for Class 2and included warrants to purchase additional common stock and accompanying warrant andat a price of $4.7599 per pre-funded warrantwarrant.  As of May 31, 2022, 6,209,000 warrants remain outstanding and accompanying warrant.do not expire until March 13, 2025. The accompanying warrants, or the warrants, became exercisable six months after the date of issuance. The issuance of shares of our Class 2 common stock and exercise of the pre-funded warrants thereafter resulted in an issuance of 19,000,000 additional shares of Class 2 common stock.

42


The warrants contain a price protection, or anti-dilution feature, pursuant to which, the exercise price of such warrants will be reduced to the consideration paid for, or the exercise price or conversion price of, as the case may be, any newly issued securities issued at a discount to the original warrant exercise price of $5.95 per share. The anti-dilution feature was approved by our stockholders, and, therefore,Therefore, the exercise price of the warrants may end up being lower than $5.95 per share, which could result in significant incremental dilution to existing stockholders.

Additionally, so long as the warrants remain outstanding, we may only issue up to $20 million in aggregate gross proceeds under our at-the-market offering program at prices less than the exercise price of the warrants, and in no event more than $6 million per quarter at prices below the exercise price of the warrants, without triggering the warrant’s anti-dilution feature described in the paragraph immediately above. If our stock price were to remain below the warrant exercise price of $5.95 per share for an extended time, we may be forced to lower the warrant exercise price at unfavorable terms in order to fund our ongoing operations. As of May 31, 2022, the warrant exercise price was $4.30. Refer to Part II, Item 8, Note 20, Warrants, of this form 10-K for additional information.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research, about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our Class 2 common stock depends, in part, on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. We do not have any control over these analysts. If one or more of the securities or industry analysts who cover us downgrade our stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price would likely decline. In addition, if our operating results fail to meet the forecast of


analysts, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our stock could decrease, which might cause our stock price and trading volume to decline.

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

We issued various securities convertible into shares of our common stock, or Convertible Securities. Holders of the convertible notescertain Convertible Securities have the right to require us to repurchase their convertible notesConvertible Securities upon the occurrence of a fundamental change at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the convertible notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.change. In addition, upon conversion, of the convertible notes, unless we elect to deliver solely shares of our Class 2 common stock to settle such conversion (other than paying cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share), we will be required to make cash payments in respect of the convertible notesConvertible Securities being converted. However, we may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain financing at the time we are required to make repurchases of convertible notesConvertible Securities surrendered. In addition, our ability to repurchase the convertible notesConvertible Securities or to pay cash upon conversions of the convertible notesConvertible Securities may be limited by law, by regulatory authority or by agreements governing our future indebtedness. Our failure to repurchase convertible notesConvertible Securities at a time when the repurchase is required by the indenture or to pay any cash payable on future conversions of the convertible notesConvertible Securities as required by the indenture would constitute a default under the indenture. A default under the indenture or the fundamental change itself could also lead to a default under agreements governing our existing or future indebtedness. If the repayment of the related indebtedness

were to be accelerated after any applicable notice or grace periods, we may not have sufficient funds to repay the indebtedness and repurchase the convertible notesConvertible Securities or make cash payments upon conversions thereof.

The conditional conversion feature of the convertible notes,Convertible Securities, if triggered, may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

In the event the a conditional conversion feature of the convertible notesConvertible Securities is triggered, holders of convertible notesConvertible Securities will be entitled to convert the convertible notesConvertible Securities at any time during specified periods at their option. If one or more holders elect to convert their convertible notes,Convertible Securities, unless we elect to satisfy our conversion obligation by delivering solely shares of our Class 2 common stock (other than paying cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share), we would be required to settle a portion or all of our conversion obligation through the payment of cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity. In addition, even if holders of convertible notesConvertible Securities do not elect to convert their convertible notes,Convertible Securities, we could be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the convertible notesConvertible Securities as a current rather than long-term liability, which would result in a material reduction of our net working capital.

Conversion of the Convertible Securities may dilute the ownership interest of our stockholders or may otherwise depress the price of our common stock.

43The conversion of some or all of the Convertible Securities may dilute the ownership interests of our stockholders. Upon conversion of the Convertible Securities, we have the option to pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. If we elect to settle our conversion obligation in shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, any sales in the public market of our common stock issuable upon such conversion could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock. In addition, the existence of the Convertible Securities may encourage short selling by market participants because the conversion of the Convertible Securities could be used to satisfy short positions, or anticipated conversion of the Convertible Securities into shares of our common stock could depress the price of our common stock.


Certain provisions in the indentures governing the Convertible Securities may delay or prevent an otherwise beneficial takeover attempt of us.

Certain provisions in the indentures governing the Convertible Securities may make it more difficult or expensive for a third party to acquire us. For example, we may be required to repurchase certain Convertible Securities for cash upon the occurrence of a fundamental change and, in certain circumstances, to increase the relevant conversion rate for a holder that converts its Convertible Securities in connection with a make-whole fundamental change. A takeover of us may trigger the requirement that we repurchase the Convertible Securities and/or increase


the conversion rate, which could make it more costly for a potential acquirer to engage in such takeover. Such additional costs may have the effect of delaying or preventing a takeover of us that would otherwise be beneficial to investors.

Our stockholders may be subject to dilution resulting from future offerings of common stock by us.

We may raise additional funds in the future by issuing common stock or equity-linked securities. Holders of our securities have no preemptive rights in connection with such further issuances. Our board of directors has the discretion to determine if an issuance of our capital stock is warranted, the price at which such issuance is to be effected and the other terms of any future issuance of capital stock. In addition, additional common stock will be issued by us in connection with the exercise of options or grant of other equity awards granted by us. Such additional equity issuances could, depending on the price at which such securities are issued, substantially dilute the interests of the holders of our existing securities.

Conversion of the convertible notes may dilute the ownership interest of our stockholders or may otherwise depress the price of our Class 2 common stock.

The conversion of some or all of the convertible notes may dilute the ownership interests of our stockholders. Upon conversion of the convertible notes, we have the option to pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of our Class 2 common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our Class 2 common stock. If we elect to settle our conversion obligation in shares of our Class 2 common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our Class 2 common stock, any sales in the public market of our Class 2 common stock issuable upon such conversion could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our Class 2 common stock. In addition, the existence of the convertible notes may encourage short selling by market participants because the conversion of the convertible notes could be used to satisfy short positions, or anticipated conversion of the convertible notes into shares of our Class 2 common stock could depress the price of our Class 2 common stock.

It is not anticipated that any dividends will be paid to holders of our Class 2 common stock for the foreseeable future, if ever.

No dividends on our Class 2 common stock have been paid to date. We anticipate that, for the foreseeable future, we will retain future earnings and other cash resources for the operation and development of our business. The payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account many factors, including our earnings, operating results, financial condition and current and anticipated cash needs. Further, our future ability to pay cash dividends on our Class 2 common stock is limited by the terms of the Senior Credit Facility and cannot be paid without the consent of Bridging Finance Inc., as well as any future debt or preferred securities.

Provisions in our corporate charter documents could make an acquisition of us more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.board of directors.

Provisions in our corporate charter and our bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control of us that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our Class 2 common stock, thereby depressing the market price of our Class 2 common stock. In addition, these provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our board of directors. Because our board of directors is responsible for appointing the members of our management team, these provisions could in turn affect any attempt by our stockholders to replace current members of our management team. Among others, these provisions include the following:

 

Our board of directors is divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms which may delay or prevent a change of our management or a change in control;

 

Our board of directors has the right to elect directors to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the board of directors or the resignation, death or removal of a director, which prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on our board of directors;

 

Except in limited circumstances, our stockholders may not act by written consent or call special stockholders’ meetings; as a result, a holder, or holders, controlling a majority of our capital stock would not be able to take certain actions other than at annual stockholders’ meetings or special stockholders’ meetings called by the board of directors, the chairman of the board or our chief executive officer;

44


 

Our certificate of incorporation prohibits cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates;

 

Stockholders must provide advance notice and additional disclosures in order to nominate individuals for election to the board of directors or to propose matters that can be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting, which may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company; and

 

Our board of directors may issue, without stockholder approval, shares of undesignated preferred stock; the ability to issue undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to acquire us.

Certain jurisdictions may take positions adverse to investments in cannabis companies or to the investors themselves.

Certain jurisdictions may prohibit or restrict its citizens or residents from investing in or transacting with companies involved in the cannabis industry, even if such companies only conduct business in jurisdictions where cannabis is legal. For example, if an investor in the United Kingdom profits from an investment in a cannabis producer or supplier, such investment may technically violate the United Kingdom Proceeds of Crime Act 2002. Similar prohibitions or restrictions may apply in other jurisdictions where cannabis has not been legalized. In addition, such prohibitions and restriction may limit the ability to receive dividends if such dividends were to be declared in the future. However, no dividends on our Class 2 common stock have been paid to date and we do not anticipate that, for the foreseeable future, we will pay cash dividends on our Class 2 common stock.

As a result of an investment in our securities, you could be prevented from entering the United States or become subject to a lifetime ban on entry into the United States.

United States Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) has confirmed that border agents may seek to permanently ban any foreign visitor who admits to working or investing in the cannabis industry, or admits to having used cannabis, even though adult-use cannabis is now legal in Canada. CBP confirmed that investing even in publicly-traded cannabis companies is considered facilitation of illicit drug trade under CBP policy. This policy is limited to citizens of foreign countries and not citizens of the United States. Therefore, as a result of an investment in our securities, if you are not a citizen of the United States, you could be prevented from entering the United States or could become subject to a lifetime ban on entry into the United States.

Certain provisions in the indenture governing the convertible notes may delay or prevent an otherwise beneficial takeover attempt of us.

Certain provisions in the indenture governing the convertible notes may make it more difficult or expensive for a third party to acquire us. For example, the indenture governing the convertible notes requires us to repurchase the convertible notes for cash upon the occurrence of a fundamental change and, in certain circumstances, to increase the relevant conversion rate for a holder that converts its convertible notes in connection with a make-whole fundamental change. A takeover of us may trigger the requirement that we repurchase the convertible notes and/or increase the conversion rate, which could make it more costly for a potential acquirer to engage in such takeover. Such additional costs may have the effect of delaying or preventing a takeover of us that would otherwise be beneficial to investors.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forums for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the exclusive forum for:

Any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf;

Any action asserting a breach of fiduciary duty;

45


Any action asserting a claim against us arising under the Delaware General Corporation Law, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our amended and restated bylaws; and

Any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal-affairs doctrine.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation further provides that the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. This exclusive forum provision would not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. To the extent that any such claims may be based upon federal law claims, Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Furthermore, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Our restated certificate of incorporation also provides that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock will be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to this choice of forum provision. It is possible that a court of law could rule that the choice of forum provision contained in our restated certificate of incorporation is inapplicable or unenforceable if it is challenged in a proceeding or otherwise.

These exclusive-forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and other employees. If a court were to find the exclusive-forum provision in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving the dispute in other jurisdictions, which could seriously harm our business.

General Risk Factors

We may not be able to maintain adequate insurance coverage, the premiums may not continue to be commercially justifiable, and coverage limitations or exclusions may leave us exposed to uninsured liabilities.

We currently havemaintain insurance coverage, including product liability insurance, protecting many, but not all, of our assets and operations. Our insurance coverage is subject to coverage limits and exclusions and may not be available for all of the risks and hazards to which we are exposed.exposed, or the coverage limits may not be sufficient to


protect against the full amount of loss. In addition, no assurance can be given that such insurance will be adequate to cover our liabilities, including potential product liability claims, or will be generally available in the future or, if available, that premiums will be commercially justifiable. If we were to incur substantial liability and such damages were not covered by insurance or were in excess of policy limits, we may be exposed to material uninsured liabilities that could impedediminish our liquidity, profitability or solvency.

We incur increased costs as a resultThe financial reporting obligations of operating asbeing a public company and ourmaintaining a dual listing on the TSX and on NASDAQ requires significant company resources and management is requiredattention.

We are subject to devote substantial time to compliance initiatives.

As athe public company we have incurredreporting obligations under the Exchange Act and will continue tothe rules and regulations regarding corporate governance practices, including those under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act, and the listing requirements of Nasdaq Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) and the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”). We incur significant legal, accounting, reporting and other expenses that we did not incur priorin order to maintain a dual listing on both the TSX and NASDAQ. Moreover, our IPO.listing on both the TSX and NASDAQ may increase price volatility due to various factors, including the ability to buy or sell common shares, different market conditions in different capital markets and different trading volumes. In addition, low trading volume may increase the Sarbanes-Oxley Actprice volatility of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and rules implemented by the SECcommon shares.

As a cannabis company, we may be subject to heightened scrutiny in Canada and the Nasdaq Global Select Market, impose various requirements on publicUnited States that could materially adversely impact the liquidity of our shares of common stock.

Our existing operations in the United States, and any future operations, may become the subject of heightened scrutiny by regulators, stock exchanges and other authorities in the United States and Canada.

Given the heightened risk profile associated with cannabis in the United States, the Canadian Depository for Securities Ltd., or CDS, may implement procedures or protocols that would prohibit or significantly impair the ability of CDS to settle trades for companies including requirementsthat have cannabis businesses or assets in the United States.

On February 8, 2018, following discussions with the Canadian Securities Administrators and recognized Canadian securities exchanges, the TMX Group, the parent company of CDS, announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (the “TMX MOU”) with Aequitas NEO Exchange Inc., the CSE, the Toronto Stock Exchange, and the TSX Venture Exchange. The TMX MOU outlines the parties’ understanding of Canada’s regulatory framework applicable to file annual, quarterlythe rules, procedures, and event-driven reportsregulatory oversight of the exchanges and CDS as it relates to issuers with cannabis-related activities in the United States. The TMX MOU confirms, with respect to our business and financial condition and operations and establish and maintain effective disclosure and financial controls and corporate governance practices. Effective January 1, 2020, we becamethe clearing of listed securities, that CDS relies on the exchanges to review the conduct of listed issuers. As a “large accelerated filer” under SEC reporting rules and are requiredresult, there is no CDS ban on the clearing of securities of issuers with cannabis-related activities in the United States. However, there can be no assurances given that this approach to file our annual report and quarterly reports more quickly than we previously had been requiredregulation will continue in the future. If such a ban were to file them, which may require us to dedicate additional resources tobe implemented, it could have a material adverse effect on the timely filingability of such reports. In addition, pursuant to Section 404holders of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or Section 404, we are requiredcommon stock to furnishsettle trades. In particular, the shares of common stock would become highly illiquid until an alternative was implemented, and investors would have no ability to effect a report by our management on our Internal Controls over Financial Reporting (“ICFR”), which must be accompanied by an attestation report on ICFR issued by our independent registered public accounting firm. To achieve compliance with Section 404 withintrade of the prescribed period, we have documented and evaluated our ICFR, which has been both costly and challenging. Our existing management team has and will continue to devotecommon stock through the facilities of a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives, and we may need to hire additional personnel to assist us with

complying with these requirements. Moreover, these rules and regulations have increased and will continue to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time consuming and costly.stock exchange.

Tax and accounting requirements may change in ways that are unforeseen to us and we may face difficulty or be unable to implement or comply with any such changes.

We are subject to numerous tax and accounting requirements, and changes in existing accounting or taxation rules or practices, or varying interpretations of current rules or practices, could have a significant adverse effect on our financial results, the manner in which we conduct our business or the marketability of any of our products. We currently havemaintain international operations and plan to expand such operations in the future. These operations, and any expansion thereto, will require us to comply with the tax laws and regulations of multiple jurisdictions, which may vary substantially. Complying with the tax laws of these jurisdictions can be time consuming and expensive and could potentially subject us to penalties and fees in the future if we fail to comply.

We may be materially adversely affected by negative impacts on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from the recent invasion of Ukraine by Russia and subsequent sanctions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities.

The long-term effect of


United States tax reformand global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the escalation of geopolitical tensions and the recent invasion of Ukraine by Russia in February 2022. In response to such invasion, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid or other assistance to Ukraine during the recently enacted CARES Actongoing military conflict, increasing geopolitical tensions with Russia. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be taken in the future, by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have created global security concerns that could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies. Although the length and impact of the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine is highly unpredictable, the conflict could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions. Additionally, Russian military actions and the resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets.

Any of the abovementioned factors, or any other negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine and subsequent sanctions, could adversely affect our businessbusiness. The extent and financial condition.

On December 22, 2017, the legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “U.S. Tax Act”) was enacted, which contains significant changes to United States tax law. The U.S. Act requires complex computations to be performed that were not previously required by U.S. tax law, significant judgments to be made in interpretationduration of the provisionsRussian invasion of Ukraine, resulting sanctions and any related market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be substantial, particularly if current or new sanctions continue for an extended period of time or if geopolitical tensions result in expanded military operations on a global scale. Any such disruptions may also have the effect of heightening many of the U.S. Tax Act, significant estimatesother risks described in calculations,this “Risk Factors” section, such as those related to the market for our securities, cross-border transactions or our ability to raise equity or debt financing. If these disputes or other matters of global concern continue for an extensive period of time, our operations may be adversely affected.

In addition, the recent invasion of Ukraine by Russia, and the preparationimpact of sanctions against Russia, and analysis of information not previously relevant or regularly produced. The U.S. Treasury Department, the IRS, and other standard-setting bodies will continue to interpret or issue guidance on how provisions of the U.S. Tax Act will be applied or otherwise administered. As future guidance is issued, we may make adjustments to amounts that we have previously recorded that may materially impact our financial statements in the period in which the adjustments are made. Additionally, further guidance may be forthcomingpotential for retaliatory acts from the Financial Accounting Standards Board and SEC, as well as regulations, interpretations and rulings from state tax agencies, whichRussia, could result in additional impacts, possibly with retroactive effect. Any such changes or potential additional impacts could adversely affect our business and financial condition. We will continue to examine and assess the impact this tax reform legislation may have on our business. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act, among other things, permits NOL carryovers and carrybacks to offset 100% of taxable income for taxable years beginning before 2021. In addition, the CARES Act allows NOLs incurred in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes. Further it provides for increased deductibility of interest expense in 2019 and 2020. We are currently evaluating the impact of the CARES Act, but we do not currently expect that the NOL carryback provision or increased interest deductibility of the CARES Act to result in a material cash benefit to us.cyber-attacked against U.S. companies.

(“High Park”), as Defendants, in Calgary, Alberta inIn the Courtordinary course of Queen’s Bench of Alberta. In August 2019, Tilray and High Park entered into an Arrangement Agreement with 420 and others (the “Arrangement Agreement”).

Tilray Inc. Reorganization Litigation (Delaware)

On February 27, 2020, Tilray stockholders Deborah Braun and Nader Noorian filed a class action and derivative complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery styled Braun v. Kennedy, C.A. No. 2020-0137-KSJM. On March 2, 2020, Tilray stockholders Catherine Bouvier, James Hawkins, and Stephanie Hawkins filed a class action and derivative complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery styled Bouvier v. Kennedy, C.A. No. 2020-0154-KSJM. The two complaints are nearly identical, were filed by the same group of counsel, and name Brendan Kennedy, Christian Groh, Michael Blue, Maryscott Greenwood, Michael Auerbach, and Privateer Evolution, LLC (as successor to Privateer Holdings, Inc.) as defendants and Tilray as a nominal defendant.

On March 4, 2020, the 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 Kennedy, Groh, Blue, and Privateer Evolution (the “Privateer Defendants”) for alleged breaches of fiduciary dutyin their alleged capacities as Tilray’s controlling stockholders and against Kennedy, Greenwood, and Auerbach for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties in their capacities as directors and/or officers of Tilray in connection with the Downstream Merger. The operative 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 stockholder plaintiffs filed an amended complaint asserting substantially similar claims. On August 14, 2020, Tilray and all defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint. On October 14, 2020, in light of the Plaintiffs’ statement that certain actions may have mooted some of their claims related to the alleged unfair extension of control over Tilray, the Court entered an order adjourning the planned November 4, 2020 hearing and removing the pendingdeadlines for briefing on the motions to dismiss. The hearing was rescheduled to February 5, 2021. On February 5, 2021, the Court held a hearing on those Motions and reserved judgment. On December 11, 2020, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss Plaintiffs’ claims that the Downstream Merger improperly perpetuated or extended Kennedy, Blue, and Groh’s alleged control as moot in light of the automatic conversion of Tilray’s Class 1 common stock to Class 2 common stock. The parties have not yet agreed to a schedule on the briefing for that motion, but, at the February 5, 2021 hearing, 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. The defendants believe the claims in this case are without merit, and intend to defend this case vigorously, but there are no assurances as to its outcome.

Securities Litigation

On May 4, 2020, a lawsuit was filed by plaintiff Ganesh Kasilingam in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, against Tilray, Inc., Brendan Kennedy and Mark Castaneda, on behalf of himself and a putative class, seeking to recover damages for alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Kasilingam litigation”). The complaint alleges that Tilray and the individual defendants

48


overstated the anticipated advantages of the Company’s revenue sharing agreement with Authentic Brands Group (“ABG”), announced on January 15, 2019, and that the plaintiffs suffered losses when Tilray’s stock price dropped after Tilray recognized an impairment with respect to the ABG deal on March 2, 2020. On August 6, 2020 the court entered an order appointing Saul Kassin as Lead Plaintiff and The Rosen Law Firm, P.A. as Lead Counsel. Lead Plaintiff filed an amended complaint on October 5, 2020. The Amended Complaint asserts the same Sections 10(b) and 20(a) claims against the same defendants on largely the same theory, and includes new allegations that the Company’s reported inventory, cost of sales, and gross margins in its financial reports during the class period were false and misleading because Tilray improperly recorded unsellable “trim” as inventory and understated the cost of sales for its products. The Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint in its entirety on December 4, 2020. Plaintiff’s opposition to defendant’s Motion to Dismiss was filed on January 25, 2021. The Company and the individual defendants believe the claims are without merit, and intend to defend vigorously against them, but there can be no assurances as to the outcome.

Shareholder Derivative Lawsuits

On April 10, 2020, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (EDNY) by Chad Gellner, Matthew Rufo, and Melvyn Klein, allegedly on behalf of Tilray, Inc., that piggy‐backs on the Kasilingam litigation referenced above. It named the Board of Directors and Mark Castaneda as defendants. The theory of the lawsuit was that the board failed to prevent the alleged securities law violations asserted in the Kasilingam litigation. On May 29, 2020, a second shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) by Bo Hu asserting essentially the same claims, allegedly on behalf of Tilray, as the prior shareholder derivative action. And on June 16, 2020, the plaintiffs in the Gellner derivative action voluntarily dismissed that lawsuit in the EDNY and re‐filed it in the SDNY. The plaintiffs in the two derivative actions in the SDNY have agreed with nominal defendant Tilray and the individual defendants to consolidate the actions, and have submitted the stipulation to the court for approval.

On June 5, 2020 a third shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (DDE) by Lee Morgan, again alleging essentially the same claims, allegedly on behalf of Tilray, as the prior shareholder derivative actions. On November 3, 2020, the court in the Morgan action entered a stipulated stay pending developments in the securities class action pending in the SDNY. On December 21, 2020 a fourth shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the DDE by Donald Kisselbach, again alleging essentially the same claims, allegedly on behalf of Tilray, as the prior shareholder derivative actions. The Company and the individual defendants expect that the parties to the Morgan and Kisselbach litigations will agree to consolidate and stay those actions until the motion to dismiss the Kasilingam litigation is decided. The Company and the individual defendants believe the claims are without merit, and intend to defend vigorously against them.

Wyckoff Arbitration

On February 16, 2020, Wyckoff Farms (“Wyckoff”), a cannabinoid supplier to Tilray, emailed a demand for assurance of performance of the March 20, 2019 Cannabinoid Supply Agreement (“Supply Agreement”). Wyckoff stated that it believes that Tilray has anticipatorily breached its obligations under the Supply Agreement, which contemplated a five (5) year term, with an express minimum crop obligation during the first crop year for 2019-2020. Wyckoff demanded assurance that Tilray take delivery of and purchase at least 13,000 KG of product for the 2019/2020 crop year at a price of $4,600 KG of product (total purchase price $59,800,000). Wyckoff also claimed that the minimum quantity purchase obligation continued for the remaining crop years, which Tilray disputes. Tilray responded that it is within its rights under the Supply Agreement, that the contract’s only minimum purchase obligation is for the 2019/2020 crop year, and also invoked the contractual force majeure provision in light of the impacts of FDA action related to hemp-derived CBD, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic. On March 5, 2020, Wyckoff submitted the dispute to binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in Benton County Washington, to which Tilray responded with an Answer on March 26, 2020, disputing Wyckoff’s claims. The parties are currently in discovery, and the arbitration is set for hearing April 19-30, 2021.

Zenabis Arbitration

On June 19, 2020 High Park Holdings Ltd. (“High Park”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tilray, Inc., commenced a confidential arbitration against Zenabis Ltd. (“Zenabis”). The arbitration relates to certain payments and obligations under a Prepaid Supply Agreement between Zenabis and High Park. High Park was seeking approximately CAD $24 million, as well additional unquantified damages and related contractual relief. In February

49


2021, the parties mutually agreed to settle this matter as set forth in a Settlement and Release Agreement. Pursuant to such Settlement Agreement, upon receipt by Tilray of the agreed upon settlement amount, the parties agreed to withdraw from the arbitration proceedings and to releasedisputes, including the other party from all past, present and future claims arising out of the Prepaid Supply Agreement and the arbitration proceeding.

Langevin Canada Class Action

On June 16, 2020, Lisa Langevin commenced a purported class action in the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench, on her behalf and on behalf of a proposed class of all medicinal and recreational users in Canada of the defendants’ cannabis products who consumed the products before their expiry date. She alleges that the defendants, including Tilray, marketed medicinal and recreational cannabis products in circumstances where the defendants misrepresented the amount of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or Cannabidiol (CBD) in their respective products. As a result of the defendants’ alleged mislabeling of the cannabis products it is claimed that the plaintiff and proposed class members did not receive and consume the product that they believed that they had purchased and that this caused them loss, risk of injury and actual injury. Ms. Langevin claims that on February 13, 2020 she purchased Canaca – TenUp manufactured and distributed by Tilray. She had it tested and allegedly found that it only contained 43% of the claimed amount of THC. The Statement of Claim seeks $500,000,000 in damages and restitution and $5,000,000 in punitive damages plus interest and costs collectively from the defendants. On July 20, 2020 Plaintiff filed an Amended Amended Statement of Claim, and on December 4, 2020 the Plaintiff delivered a Third Amended Statement of Claim.proceedings specifically discussed below. We plan to vigorously defend against this action.

We assess our liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal proceedings utilizing the latest information available. Where it is probable that we will incur a loss and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, we record a liability in itsour consolidated financial statements. These legal reserves may be increased or decreased to reflect any relevant developments on a quarterly basis. Where a loss is not probable or the amount of loss is not estimable, we do not accrue legal reserves. While the outcome of legal proceedings is inherently uncertain, based on information currently available and available insurance coverage, our management believes that it has established appropriate legal reserves. Any incremental liabilities arising from pending legal proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, or consolidated cash flows. However, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, if unfavorable, may be material to our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, or consolidated cash flows.

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

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

On May 4, 2020, Ganesh Kasilingam filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (“SDNY”), against Tilray Brands, Inc., Brendan Kennedy and Mark Castaneda, on behalf of himself and a putative class, seeking to recover damages for alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Kasilingam litigation”). The complaint alleges that Tilray and the individual defendants overstated the anticipated advantages of the Company’s revenue sharing agreement with Authentic Brands Group (“ABG”), announced on January 15, 2019, and that the plaintiff suffered losses when Tilray’s stock price dropped after Tilray recognized an impairment with respect to the ABG deal on March 2, 2020. On August 6, 2020, SDNY entered an order appointing Saul Kassin as Lead Plaintiff and The Rosen Law Firm, P.A. as Lead Counsel. Lead Plaintiff filed an amended complaint on October 5, 2020, which asserts the same Sections 10(b) and 20(a) claims against the same defendants on largely the same theory, and includes new allegations that Tilray’s reported inventory, cost of sales, and gross margins in its financial reports during the class period were false and misleading because Tilray improperly recorded unsellable “trim” as inventory and understated the cost of sales for its products. On December 4, 2020, the defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint, and the parties briefed that motion January and February 2021. On September 27, 2021, the U.S. District Court entered an Opinion & Order granting the Defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended complaint without prejudice.

On December 3, 2021, Lead Plaintiff filed a second amended complaint (“SAC”) alleging the same claims against Tilray and Brendan Kennedy (Mark Castaneda was not named in the SAC), along with a new Section 20A insider trading claim against Mr. Kennedy.  The SAC includes certain new scienter allegations related to stock sales


and Tilray’s merger with Aphria, but the overall case theory remains largely the same. The defendants believe the claims under the SAC are also without merit and intend to defend vigorously against them, but there can be no assurances as to the outcome.

Shareholder Derivative Lawsuits (New York and Delaware)

On April 10, 2020, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (“EDNY”) by Chad Gellner, Matthew Rufo, and Melvyn Klein, allegedly on behalf of Tilray Brands, Inc., that piggy‐backs on the Kasilingam litigation referenced above. It named the Tilray Board of Directors and Mark Castaneda as defendants. The lawsuit asserts that the Tilray Board of Directors failed to prevent the alleged securities law violations asserted in the Kasilingam litigation. On May 29, 2020, a second shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in SDNY by Bo Hu asserting essentially the same claims, allegedly on behalf of Tilray, as the prior shareholder derivative action. And on June 16, 2020, the plaintiffs in the Gellner derivative action voluntarily dismissed that lawsuit in the EDNY and re‐filed it in the SDNY. The plaintiffs in the two derivative actions in the SDNY have agreed with nominal defendant Tilray and the individual defendants to consolidate the actions, and have submitted the stipulation to the court for approval.

On June 5, 2020, a third shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (“DDE”) by Lee Morgan, again alleging essentially the same claims, allegedly on behalf of Tilray, as the prior shareholder derivative actions. On November 3, 2020, DDE entered a stipulated stay pending developments in the securities class action pending in the SDNY. On December 21, 2020, a fourth shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the DDE by Donald Kisselbach, again alleging essentially the same claims, allegedly on behalf of Tilray, as the prior shareholder derivative actions. On March 1, 2021, the court ordered the parties’ stipulation, consolidating the DDE derivative actions under the caption In re Tilray Brands, Inc. Consolidated Stockholder Litigation, and staying the consolidated action untilthe motion to dismiss the Kasilingam litigation is decided. The Company and the individual defendants believe the derivative claims are without merit, and intend to defend vigorously against them, but there can be no assurances as to the outcome.

Tilray Inc. Reorganization Litigation (Delaware, New York)

On February 27, 2020, Tilray stockholders Deborah Braun and Nader Noorian filed a class action and derivative complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery styled Braun v. Kennedy, C.A. No. 2020-0137-KSJM. On March 2, 2020, Tilray stockholders Catherine Bouvier, James Hawkins, and Stephanie Hawkins filed a class action and derivative complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery styled Bouvier v. Kennedy, C.A. No. 2020-0154-KSJM.

On March 4, 2020, the Delaware Court of Chancery entered an order consolidating the two cases and designating the complaint in the Braun/Noorian action as the operative complaint. The operative complaint asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty against Brendan Kennedy, Christian Groh, Michael Blue, and Privateer Evolution, LLC (the “Privateer Defendants”) for alleged breaches of fiduciary dutyin their alleged capacities as Tilray’s controlling stockholders and against Kennedy, Maryscott Greenwood, and Michael Auerbach for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties in their capacities as directors and/or officers of Tilray in connection with the prior merger of Privateer Holdings, Inc. with and into a wholly owned subsidiary (the “Downstream Merger”). The complaint alleges that the Privateer Defendants breached their fiduciary duties by causing Tilray to enter into the Downstream Merger and Tilray’s Board to approve that Downstream Merger, and that Defendants Kennedy, Greenwood, and Auerbach breached their fiduciary duties as directors by approving the Downstream Merger. Plaintiffs allege that the Downstream Merger gave the Privateer Defendants hundreds of millions of dollars of tax savings without providing a corresponding benefit to Tilray and its minority stockholders and that the Downstream Merger unfairly transferred and extended Kennedy, Blue, and Groh’s control over Tilray. On July 17, 2020, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint asserting substantially similar claims. On August 14, 2020, Tilray and the Privateer Defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint. At the February 5, 2021 hearing on Defendants’ Motions to Dismiss, the Plaintiffs agreed that their perpetuation of control claims are moot and stated that they intend to move for a fee award in connection with those claims. On June 1, 2021, the Court denied Defendants’ Motions to Dismiss the Amended Complaint.

In August 2021 the Tilray Board of Directors established a Special Litigation Committee (“SLC”) of independent directors to re-assert director control over the litigation and investigate the derivative claims in the Tilray, Inc.; In re Reorganization Litigation (Delaware). The SLC has appointed the law firm Wilson Sonsini and Katherine Henderson as the lead attorney, to assist the SLC with investigation of the claims, determination whether continued


prosecution of the claims is in the best interests of the corporation and, when the SLC determines it is appropriate, moving to dismiss the litigation or negotiate a settlement with the defendants.

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

On July 15, 2022, the SLC reached an agreement in principle with the Defendants and certain of the non-parties, and their respective insurers, to resolve the claims asserted in the Action in exchange for an aggregate amount of $26.9 million to be paid to Tilray plus mutual releases. The parties’ binding term sheet remains subject to execution of long-form settlement agreements with the respective parties and approval by the Court of Chancery.

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

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

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

On September 29, 2021, the U.S. District Court issued an Order that (i) permitted the plaintiffs to amend their lawsuit to revive the claims against Andy DeFrancecso; and (ii) declined to revisit his decision that claims could proceed against Aphria/Tilray, Vic Neufeld, and Carl Merton.  Plaintiffs declined to amend their complaint, however, and so the action is proceeding solely against Aphria/Tilray, Neufeld, and Merton.

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

LATAM and Nuuvera Class Actions and Individual Actions (Canada)

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

(i)

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

(ii)

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

In the Vecchio Action a motion for certification and leave was heard. For Reasons for Decision released August 6, 2021, and with the consent of Aphria and the individually named Defendants, the Court granted leave to proceed with the secondary market statutory cause of action, and certified the Action on behalf of a defined class of


purchasers. Also, on consent, the Court dismissed the claims of oppression and common law misrepresentation against Aphria and the individual defendants, as well as all claims against Carl Merton. The Court granted certification of the primary market statutory cause of action against all remaining Defendants but made it conditional on a successful motion by the Plaintiff to have the Court appoint a second Plaintiff for that aspect of the Claim.  The defendant underwriters are appealing one term of that final aspect of the Court’s decision. We plan to vigorously defend against this action.

In the Individual Actions, no substantive steps have been taken by the Plaintiffs in those lawsuits.

Langevin Canada Class Action Regarding Alleged Mislabled Products (Alberta, Canada)

On June 16, 2020, Lisa Langevin commenced a purported class action against Tilray, Aphria, and Broken Coast Cannabis Ltd. (a subsidiary of Aphria) in the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench, on her behalf and on behalf of a proposed class of all medicinal and recreational users in Canada of the defendants’ cannabis products who consumed the products before their expiry date. The plaintiff alleges that the defendants marketed medicinal and recreational cannabis products in circumstances where the defendants misrepresented the amount of Tetrahydrocannabinol or Cannabidiol in certain of their respective products. The plaintiff claims that as a result of the alleged mislabeling, the plaintiff and proposed class members did not receive and consume the product that they believed they had purchased causing them loss, risk of injury and actual injury. The plaintiff seeks $500,000,000 in damages and restitution and $5,000,000 in punitive damages plus interest and costs collectively from the defendants. On July 20, 2020, plaintiff filed an Amended Statement of Claim, and on December 4, 2020 filed a Third Amended Statement of Claim. The application by the defendants to be relieved from the obligation to file a Statement of Defense was argued before the case management justice on June 1, 2021, and a decision is under reserve. The Company believes the claims are without merit, and intends to vigorously defend against them, but there can be no assurances as to the outcome.

Legal Proceedings Related to Contractual Obligations

420 Investments Ltd. Litigation

On February 21, 2020, 420 Investments Ltd., as Plaintiff (“420 Investments”), filed a lawsuit against Tilray Brands, Inc. and High Park Shops Inc. (“High Park”), as Defendants, in Calgary, Alberta in the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta. In August 2019, Tilray and High Park entered into an Arrangement Agreement with 420 Investments and others (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, High Park was to acquire the securities of 420 Investments. In February 2020, Tilray and High Park gave notice of termination of the Agreement. 420 Investments alleges that the termination was unlawful and without merit and further alleges that the Defendants had no legal basis to terminate. 420 Investments alleges that the Defendants did not meet their contractual and good faith obligations under the Agreement. 420 Investment seeks damages in the stated amount of C$110 million, plus C$20 million in aggravated damages. The Tilray and High Park Statement of Defense and counterclaim were both filed on March 20, 2020. 420 Investment’s Statement of Defense to our counterclaim was filed on April 20, 2020. Respectively, 420 Investments and Tilray / High Park served each other with their Affidavits of Records (“AOR”) on August 25, 2020 and November 30, 2020. Tilray and High Park cross-examined the litigation representative of 420 Investments about its AOR with 420 Investments producing supplemental documents in August 2021. Charlie Cain, Brendan Kennedy, and Andrew Pucher were questioned by 420 Investments’ counsel in November 2021, December 2021 and February 2022. 420 Investments has advised that it seeks to conduct further questioning of Charlie Cain and Tilray’s corporate officer (Carl Merton) during the summer or early fall of 2022. Tilray and High Park are expected to conduct questioning of 420 witnesses after the completion of questioning by 420 Investments. No trial date has been set. The Company denies the Plaintiff’s allegations and intends to vigorously defend this litigation matter, although there can be no assurance as to its outcome.

Docklight Litigation

On November 5, 2021 Docklight Brands, Inc. (“Docklight”) filed a complaint against Tilray and its wholly-owned subsidiary, High Park Holdings, Ltd. (“High Park”) (collectively, the “Defendants”) 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 Tilray personnel 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 merger. 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 Defendant filed responses and objections to Docklight’s interrogatories on March 21, 2022. Plaintiff shared additional interrogatories and requests with Tilray on June 10, 2022, which Tilray timely responded to on July 11, 2022. Tilray intends to continue to vigorously defend the Docklight suit, although there can be no assurance as to its outcome.

Our visionoverall strategy is to build the world’s most trustedleverage our scale, expertise and valuable cannabis and hemp company. We are pioneering the future of medical, wellness and adult-use cannabis and hemp research, cultivation, processing and distribution, globally. We are one of the leading suppliers of adult-use cannabiscapabilities to drive market share in Canada medicinaland internationally, achieve industry-leading, profitable growth and build sustainable, long-term shareholder value. In order to ensure the long-term sustainable growth of our Company, we continue to focus on developing strong capabilities in consumer insights, drive category management leadership and assess growth opportunities with the introduction of innovative new products.  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

The cannabis industry in Germany, and a leading supplierEurope is also in its early stages of hemp products in North America.

We have supplied high-quality medical cannabis products to tensdevelopment whereby countries within Europe are at different stages of thousandslegalization of patients in fifteen countries spanning five continents through our subsidiaries in Australia, Canada, Germany, Latin America and Portugal, and through agreements with established pharmaceutical distributors. We cultivate 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 Canadaan 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. 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.

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. 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. 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. In December 2021, Malta now allows its citizens to grow up to six plants at home, possess up to seven grams for personal use, establish a dedicated government authority, and allows the creation of social cannabis clubs.


Although commercial sales are still forbidden, such achievement marks an important cornerstone for the cannabis industry in Europe.

Luxembourg. The government stated intentions to legalize adult-use cannabis in October 2021, thereby allowing cultivation, possession, and sale of seeds. However, legislation delays are due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Luxemburg government has refined its draft bill, which we believe will be enacted in calendar year 2022.

Italy.  Cannabis activists successfully set up a referendum to decriminalize domestic cannabis cultivation and remove penalties for cannabis possession. 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.  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. 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. 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.  The Spanish Congress' Health Committee has recently approved a Medical 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 Portugal. Wecommunity pharmacies and not only operate in countries where cannabis or hemp-derived cannabinoidshospitals, 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 legal, and are permitted under all applicable federal, state, provincial and local laws.

We are witnessing a global paradigm shift regarding regulatory and consumer sentiment about cannabis and hemp. This shift is transforming a multibillion-dollar industry from a state of prohibition to one of legalization. medical cannabis is now authorized atenrolled in the national or federal level in forty-two countries. The legal marketexperiment. An official statute for medical cannabis is stillexpected to be issued in the Fall 2022, which will facilitate better access, coverage, and greater inclusion for French patients. Tilray supplies the products for this experiment from its early stagesEU-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. While we continue to execute against our strategic initiatives that we believe will result in the number of countries with legalized regimes willlong-term, sustainable growth and value to our stockholders, we continue to increase over time. As this transformation occurs,evaluate potential acquisitions and other strategic transactions of businesses that we believe trusted global brandscomplement our existing portfolio, infrastructure and capabilities or provide us with multinational supply chains will become market leaders by earning the confidence of patients, doctors, governments,opportunity to enter attractive new geographic markets and adult consumers around the world.

We areproduct categories as well as expand our existing capabilities. As a leaderresult, we incur transaction costs in the Canadian adult-use market. We have agreementsconnection with identifying and completing acquisitions and strategic transactions, as well as ongoing integration costs as we combine acquired companies and continue to supply certain provinces and territories with our adult-use products for sale through their established retail distribution systems. Adult-use legalization occurred in Canada on October 17, 2018. On October 17, 2019, the Canadian adult-use regulations were amended to permit the sale of new classes of cannabis products including edibles, beverages and vape products.

Duringachieve synergies. For the year ended DecemberMay 31, 2020, in an effort to better align our cost structure with the current business environment,2022, we reduced headcount in different areasincurred $31.7 million of the organization. We eliminated a total of 529 positions with an expected annualized savings impact, net of severance costs, of $40 million. In addition to headcount reductions, we took actions to increase operating efficiencies which will result in additional annualized cost savings of approximately $17 million, for a total of approximately $57 million annualized cost savings versus our Q4 2019 annualized run rate cost structure. We continue to evaluate our cost structure in light of evolving business conditions and COVID-19 and may take additional actions if deemed appropriate.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.  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.  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. 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.  


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.

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 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.

During the year ended DecemberMay 31, 2020,2022, we issued 16,131,487 shares of Class 2 common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $127 million under the at-the-market equity offering program.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. 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. 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 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. 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 July 12, 2022, Tilray closed the transaction for a strategic alliance with HEXO Corp. (“HEXO”). 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. 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. 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. 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.


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.

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

On February 28, 2020, we entered into a credit agreement for a senior secured credit facility, denominated in Canadian dollars, for a maximum aggregate principal amount of $59.6 million (C$79.8 million) (the “Senior Facility”). An aggregate principal amount equalTilray continues to $49.7 million (C$66.5 million) was drawn on February 28, 2020.

As a result of COVID-19 related financial market conditions that affected the lender,closely monitor and not because of any material changesrespond, where possible, to the business of Tilray or its subsidiaries,ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. As the lender requested that we withdraw our then outstanding request forglobal situation continues to change rapidly, ensuring the additional draw of $9.9 million made on May 4, 2020. We agreed and, as a result, on June 5, 2020, we entered into the First Amendment to the Senior Facility (“the First Amendment”). The First Amendment provides that the Senior Facility will only require interest payments for the remainder of its term and all outstanding principal payments will be due at maturity, February 28, 2022. We have been, and currently are, in full compliance with all terms of the Senior Facility and did not incur any fees or penalties in connection with the First Amendment. Additionally, and at such time as the lender’s business may allow, the lender may make the additional proceeds of $9.9 million available during the term of the Credit Agreement, at its sole discretion.

On March 17, 2020, we closed an underwritten registered offering of 7,250,000 shares of Class 2 common stock for $4.76 per share and 11,750,000 pre-funded warrants for $4.7599 (the “pre-funded warrants”) accompanied by 19,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $5.95. The pre-funded warrants have an exercise price per share of Class 2 common stock of $0.0001 and were exercisable at any time after their original issuance and expire on the fifth anniversary date of issuance. The pre-funded warrants were exercised in full during March 2020. The 19,000,000 warrants (the “warrants”) have an exercise price of $5.95 and allow the holder to purchase 19,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class 2 common stock. All 19,000,000 warrants remained outstanding as of December 31, 2020, and are exercisable at any time after the first trading day following the six-month anniversary of the issuance and will expire on the fifth anniversary date from the date they become exercisable. Our net proceeds (exclusive of any warrant exercise proceeds) from this offering was $85.3 million (gross proceeds of $90.4 million). As of February 19, 2021, 12,666,000 warrants have been exercised, for gross proceeds of $75,362,700.

On May 26, 2020, we announced our decision to close our High Park Gardens Facility, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company based in Leamington, Ontario due to the current economic climate and the high cost of production at the facility. At that time, we concluded that the assets attributable to High Park Gardens met the criteria for classification as assets held for sale and that the closure did not represent a strategic shift that would have a major impact on our Company’s business plan or its primary markets, and, therefore, did not qualify as a discontinued operation. On December 16, 2020, we made a decision to discontinue marketing the High Park Gardens Facility and to retain the disposal group for future operations. On December 16, 2020, we reclassified the assets to be held and measured at fair value in the Company’s cannabis segment. No assets were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

Due to the initial closure of High Park Gardens in June 2020, we incurred termination costs of $0.3 million related to severance, which are included within general and administrative expenses, recorded total non-cash charges of $25.5 million, which included $13.6 million related to the write down of land and buildings upon characterizing them as assets for sale and valuing them at their fair value less normal selling costs, $1.8 million of inventory valuation adjustments related to the destruction of unharvested flower, and $10.2 million related to the write down of the acquired cultivation license. On December, 16 2020, when the Company reclassified the assets of the High Park Gardens facility to held and used, the Company recognized additional impairment charges of $2.9 million relating to land and buildings (refer to Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Note 3, “Assets reclassified from held for sale to held and used”) recorded to impairment of assets within the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss to adjust to the fair values of the respective assets.

On November 24, 2020, we entered into privately negotiated exchange agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”) with certain holderswell-being of our 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”). Under the terms of the Exchange Agreements, the holders agreed to exchange an aggregate principal amount of approximately $124.3 million of Notes plus accrued interest held by them in exchange for an aggregate of 10,932,222 sharesemployees remains one of our Class 2 common stock. Effectively, we agreedtop priorities. The Company also remains committed to repurchase a portion of the outstanding Notes at a 36% discountproviding best in class care and service to their face value using shares issued at our most recent closing market price on November 20, 2020 ($7.36 per share).

On November 25, 2020, we entered into additional Exchange Agreements with certain holders of the Notes. Under the terms of the Exchange Agreements, the holders agreed to exchange an aggregate principal amount of approximately $72.9 million of Notes plus accrued interest held by them in exchange for an aggregate of 6,407,355 shares. Effectively, we agreed to repurchase a portion of the outstanding Notes at a 42% discount to their face value, using shares issued at our most recent closing market price on November 23, 2020 ($6.68 per share).

On December 15, 2020, we entered into an Arrangement Agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement” with Aphria Inc. (“Aphria”), pursuant to which Tilray will acquire all of the issuedvalued patients and outstanding common shares of Aphria pursuant to a plan of arrangement (the “Plan of Arrangement”) under the Business Corporations Act (the “Arrangement”). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, each outstanding common share of Aphria outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Arrangement will be transferred to Tilray in exchange for 0.8381 of a share (of Tilray Class 2 common stock). The obligations of Tilray and Aphria to consummate the Arrangement are subject to customary conditions, including, but not limited to, (a) obtaining the required approvals of Tilray’s and Aphria’s shareholders, (b) obtaining an interim order and final order from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice approving the Arrangement, (c) the absence of any injunction or similar restraint prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of the Arrangement or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement, (d) the required regulatory approvals having been obtained, (e) no material adverse effect having occurred, (f) subject to certain materiality exceptions, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of each party and (g) the performance in all material respects by each party of its obligations under the Arrangement Agreement.

COVID-19

The public health crisis caused by COVID-19 and the measures taken and continuing to be taken by governments, businesses and the public have, and we expect willconsumers – facilities continue to have, certain negative impacts on our business operations,remain open and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Dueoperational with heightened measures in place to COVID-19, governments have imposed restrictions on travel and business operations, temporarily closed businesses, and implemented quarantines and shelter-in-place orders. Consequently, the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted global economic activity, caused significant volatility and disruption in global financial markets, and generally introduced significant uncertainty and unpredictability throughout the world.

We believe the restrictions on, or temporary closure of, retail cannabis outlets in response to COVID-19 negatively impacted sales of adult-use cannabis products in 2020. However, this was likely offset by the increase in retail outlets in Canada and our introduction of new products which resulted in a net increase in annual revenue for this product channel in 2020. As a result of ongoing COVID-19 related restrictions on retail cannabis stores we may experience declining demand for adult-use products and may not be able to offset the impact in other ways. Due to the COVID-19 related challenges faced by patients accessing clinics and doctors for prescriptions for our medical products, we experienced a drop in new registrations for medical cannabis products in Canada. Declining demand for medical cannabis products may continue to impact our medical cannabis business in Canada and internationally.

We continue to operate our manufacturing facilities at normal production levels while the administrative offices remain largely closed, with staff working remotely. We have taken all recommended actions to protect public health and the health and safety of employees, vendors, partners and will re-opentheir families. The Company is committed to enhancing these measures and implementing other necessary practices as the situation warrants.

COVID-19 impact on our administrative offices subjectdistribution 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.    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.  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.  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.  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.  

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. 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. 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.

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. 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.

Acquisition of Breckenridge

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.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

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

gross profit (excluding inventory valuation adjustments and purchase price allocation (“PPA”) step up) and adjusted gross profit,

cannabis gross margin (excluding inventory valuation adjustments and PPA step-up) and adjusted cannabis gross profit and margin,

beverage alcohol gross margin (excluding inventory valuation adjustments and PPA step-up) and adjusted beverage alcohol gross profit and margin,

distribution gross margin (excluding inventory valuation adjustments and PPA step-up) and adjusted distribution gross profit and margin,

wellness gross margin (excluding inventory valuation adjustments and PPA step-up) and adjusted wellness gross profit and margin,

adjusted net income (loss),

adjusted earnings per share, and

adjusted EBITDA.


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 local rulesaccounting 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 regulations.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, we didshould not apply nor receive any COVID-19 related government fundingbe considered a substitute for, or incur charges that are clearly relatable to COVID-19.

Duesuperior to, the ongoing developmentsfinancial information prepared and uncertainty relatedpresented in accordance with GAAP.  Please see “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to COVID-19, we are unableGAAP Measures” below for a reconciliation of such non-GAAP Measures to predict the continuing impacts on our operational andmost directly comparable GAAP financial performance. The nature and extent of the impacts depend on many factors outside our control, including, the timing, extent, and duration of the pandemic, the development andmeasures.

availability of effective treatments and vaccines, the imposition of protective public safety measures, and the impact of the pandemic on the global economy and demand for our products. Our current forecasts show our cash balances will be sufficient to satisfy our working capital needs, debt payments, and general liquidity requirements.

Business Segments

We report our operating results in two segments: (i) Cannabis (licensed) and (ii) Hemp (unlicensed). The business segments reflect how our operations are managed, how resources are allocated, how operating performance is evaluated by senior management and the structure of our internal financial reporting. Our Cannabis segment sales consists of adult-use, medical, and bulk sales of cannabis under regulated licenses. Our products are sold to retailers, wholesalers, pharmacies, governments, and direct to patients. Our Hemp segment sales consist of hemp seed, hemp foods, and broad-spectrum hemp extract containing CBD that are sold to retailers, wholesalers, and direct to consumers.

We evaluate the financial results of these segments focusing primarily on segment revenue and gross profit or loss. We utilize segment revenue, gross profit, and segment income (loss) from operations, because we believe they provide useful metrics for effectively allocating our resources between segments, evaluating the health of our business segments and providing management information it can use to actively manage the business.

Key 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 keynon-GAAP measures and operating metrics with similar names differently which may reduce their usefulness as comparative measures.

Revenue from medical cannabis products: Revenue from Canadian medical cannabis products increased 20% to $30.6 million for the type and numberyear ended May 31, 2022, compared to revenue of dried$25.5 million for the year ended May 31, 2021. This increase in revenue from medical cannabis grams requiredproducts is primarily driven by the contributions of legacy Tilray’s medical cannabis business resulting from the business combination on April 30, 2021. The increase is also due to produce extracted cannabisnew innovative product launches, including our new brand Symbios launched earlier in the form of cannabis oils infused into the final product.year, to address unmet medical needs and to provide patients with more choices in managing their health conditions with medical products.  This conversion ratio is based on the amount of active cannabinoids in the products rather than the volume of the final product.

Total kilogram equivalents sold decreased 17% during 2020 compared to 2019 generally due to a reduction in bulk sales whichincrease was partially offset by increasesthe 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.

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. The decrease in all other segments. 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. 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. 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. 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.  

We expect continued increases in kilogram equivalents grams sold as we generate sales growthcontinue to focus on expanding our product offerings to accommodate the changes in our key cannabis businesses; adult-use and international medical. Going forwardcustomers, during the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we will pursue opportunistic bulk sales ascompleted our first shipments to Nunavut, Canada. In the second quarter of 2022, we manage our product mix and optimize margins. Total kilogram equivalents sold increased in 2019 from 2018, primarily due to increased bulk, adult-use, and international medical sales.

Kilograms harvested - cannabis. Kilograms harvested representsexpanded the weight of dried whole plants post-harvest, drying and curing. This operating metric is used to measure the production efficiencyterms of our facilitiesdistribution partnership with Rose LifeScience, which now represents


the entire Tilray portfolio in Quebec. In addition, we expanded our partnership with Great North Distributors, Inc. to represent the entire Tilray portfolio and production team.cover all of Canada, except for Quebec, using its established network.

Total kilograms harvested decreased

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. The alliance will also allow Tilray to enter into new product categories by 35% during 2020 compared to 2019 partially due toutilizing the closuremanufacturing capabilities of our High Park Gardens cannabis greenhouse production operation and partially due to the timing of harvests inboth parties.

Portugal during 2020 compared to 2019. It is our expectation that harvested quantitiesas 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. 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 comparable facilitiesthe year ended May 31, 2022, was $6.9 million as compared to $6.6 million in the year ended May 31, 2021. The Company continues to believe that wholesale cannabis revenue will fluctuate as we continually workremain subject to align production with sales growth, optimize the use of each of our facilitiesquarter-to-quarter variability and is based on market demand, and as we continue to realize efficiencies in our growing processes resultingopportunistic sales. On a constant currency basis, medical cannabis revenue would have increased by 6%, or $0.4 million from our capital investments.the prior year.

International cannabis revenue: Revenue from international cannabis products for the June 2020 shut down of our facility at High Park Gardens, a licensed cannabis facility in Leamington, Ontario, our current production and manufacturing footprint in Canada is approximately 0.7year ended May 31, 2022, was $53.9 million square feet and our footprint in Portugal is approximately 2.6 million square feet, for a total of 3.3 million square feet worldwide. Our current growing space in Portugal is made up of 20 hectares of outdoor growing space in Alentejo, 1 hectare of greenhouse and 4 hectares of outdoor growing space in Cantanhede, and 65,000 square feet of manufacturing, processing, research, and office space in Cantanhede. We are currently under construction to complete an additional 3.4 hectares of greenhouse in Cantanhede during early 2021. Due to COVID-19, we have experienced minor construction delays and there is some uncertainty about the final completion date of the additional growing space. If we are unable to complete construction in a timely manner due to COVID-19, we may not achieve all our expected harvests and production which may negatively impact our international sales. We are actively working with our contractors to maintain appropriate COVID-19 protections at our construction site in an effort to complete construction in a timely manner.

Total kilograms harvested increased during 2019 compared to 2018$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 355% primarily due to ramping up additional operational capacity at new production facilities and505%, or $47.0 million from the acquisition of Natura Naturals Holdings Inc. (“Natura”).

Thousand units sold – hemp products. As a result of the acquisition of FHF Holdings Ltd. (“Manitoba Harvest”) in February 2019, we sell hemp products such as shelled hemp seed, ground hemp, and broad spectrum hemp extract containing CBD, and hemp seed oil, all of which are tracked by individual units.

Hemp products sold during 2020 increased 26% from 2019.prior year. The increase was partiallyis, in part, due to increased promotional activity and partially attributable to the fact that the 2019prior 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.  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.  

Germany. For the year ended May 31, 2022, we continued to experience deceleration in the growth of innovative therapy options like medical cannabis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in some patients being unable or unwilling to see a doctor.  

Portugal. We are the only approved medical cannabis product in the market, which is distributed through our distribution partners to medical stakeholders throughout Portugal.

Luxembourg. We were selected by the Luxembourg Ministry of Health as the exclusive supplier for the country’s medical cannabis program for dried flower and oils.

Switzerland. We distribute our cannabinoid-based medical extract products to Suisse patients through our partner “Lehenmatt Apotheke”.

France. We were selected as one of the four suppliers in a two-year pilot experiment to supply medical cannabis for a limited trial group.

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

United Kingdom. In our second quarter of our fiscal year, 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.

Malta.  We completed our first sale of medical cannabis dried flower in Malta during the year ended May 31, 2022, and in March, we expanded the offering and launched the first EU GMP medical cannabis oil products in Malta. Our EU-GMP medical cannabis products are now available in pharmacies across Malta, providing patients with safe and reliable access to high-quality medical cannabis.

Distribution revenue

Revenue from Distribution operations for the year ended May 31, 2022 was $259.7 million as compared to $277.3 million in the prior year, representing a decrease of 6% on a year over year basis.  The decrease in distribution revenue for the year ended as compared to prior year was primarily the result of the decrease in the value of the Euro compared to the US dollar totaling a $28.3 million reduction for the year ended May 31, 2022 compared to May 31, 2021 in our CC Pharma business. On a constant currency basis, distribution revenue would have increased by 4% or $10.7 million from the prior year.  

Revenue for the year ending May 31, 2022, was also impacted by heavy flooding impacted CC Pharma which forced a business closure for approximately five days leading to a decrease in net revenue in the period of almost $5.0 million.

Beverage alcohol revenue

Revenue from our Beverage Alcohol operations increased to $71.5 million for the year ended May 31, 2022, compared to revenue of $28.6 million in the year ended May 31, 2021. The increase is largely driven by the fact that we entered the beverage alcohol space on November 25, 2020, through the acquisition of SweetWater, and thus the prior year comparative only includes 6 months of operations. Further enhancing this increase, the company also acquired Breckenridge distillery on December 7, 2021, which partially contributed to the year over year increase.

Sweetwater revenue increased in the year ended May 31, 2022, as we began operating our new brewing facility in Colorado and opened a new taproom at the Denver International Airport in connection with our strategic expansion initiative.  In addition, we released an extensive new line of innovative products, including seltzers, as well as a new beer offering developed in collaboration with our Canadian cannabis Broken Coast brand and a new vodka soda offering developed in collaboration with our Canadian cannabis Riff brand as Tilray continues to strengthen its strategic position in the U.S. by expanding its presence through acquisitions and collaboration with other Tilray cannabis brands.  This strategy of leveraging our growing portfolio of brands we believe will enable the Company to launch THC-based product adjacencies upon federal legalization in the U.S.

Wellness revenue

Our wellness revenue consists of $59.6 million from Manitoba Harvest, for the year ended May 31, 2022, which is compared to $5.8 million for the prior year ended of May 31, 2021.  Manitoba Harvest was part of the assets acquired in the Arrangement on April 30, 2021. As a result, the prior period only reflectedincluded one month of operations and thus the post-acquisition ten months activity whilelarge increase in revenue year over year is a result the 2020 period reflectsrealization of a full year of hemp products sold. Looking forward,operations in the number of units soldcurrent year.

Adjusted gross profit (excluding inventory valuation adjustments) and adjusted gross margin percentage (excluding inventory valuation adjustments) are non-GAAP financial measures. For information on how we define and calculate these non-GAAP financial measures, refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”

Cannabis gross margin: Gross margin of 18% in the year ended May 31, 2022, decreased from Gross margin of 35% in the year ended May 31, 2021. This was primarily due to larger size private label offerings.an inventory write off of $19.9 million from excess

Average net selling price per gram - cannabis.


The average net selling price per gram is an indicatorinventory quantities of our pricing trends over time onthe combined cannabis operations in the prior year compared to $59.5 million in the current year. Adjusted gross margin of 43% decreased in the year ended May 31, 2022, from 45% in the prior year ended May 31, 2021. This was primarily related to a gram equivalent basissingle wholesale cannabis sale in Q3 of fiscal 2022, resulting in revenue of $3.0 and is impacted by sales mix, channel and product type. We exclude revenue associated with hemp products, accessories, and freight sales, to arrive at cannabis-related revenue. We calculate average net selling price per gram by dividing total cannabis-related revenue by total kilogram equivalents sold. As Cannabis 2.0 products become a larger percentagenegative gross profit of our mix, and because Cannabis 2.0 products include more value-added activities and$2.6 million, lowering the cannabis inputs will be a lower portiongross margin by 1.6% solely related to the single transaction.

Distribution gross margin: Gross margin of 6% for the overall cost and value ofyear ended May 31, 2022, decreased from 13% the products, we may change this operating metric from per gram to per unit measuresyear ended May 31, 2021.  The decrease in the future.

The average net selling price per gram increased 51% in 2020 compared to 2019gross margin was primarily due to a write-off of $7.5 million from excess inventory related to medicines purchased during the peak of the pandemic. These declines were further driven by increased costs as the Company’s primary source of products were unable to ship during border closures and during periods of peak demand. The Company also experienced higher than normal discounts and returns during the year.

Beverage alcohol gross margin: Gross margin of 55% for the year ended May 31, 2022, decreased from 56% the prior year ended May 31, 2021. Adjusted gross margin of 58% decreased in the year ended May 31, 2022, from 59% in the year ended May 31, 2021. Overall, the gross margin and adjusted gross margin was consistent year over year as COVID-19 impacts have become less prevalent throughout the year allowing for a more consistent sales mix.

Wellness gross margin:  Gross margin of 31% for the year ended May 31, 2022, increased from a gross margin of 27% for the year ended May 31, 2021. We acquired the wellness business in the Arrangement on April 30, 2021, and thus the prior period comparison only included one month of operations and was less representative than the full year of operations.

Total operating expenses for the year ended May 31, 2022, increased by $471.9 million to $727.2 million from $255.4 million as compared to prior year. This increase was primarily due to a non-cash impairment of goodwill and intangible assets for $378.2 million. The impact was related to changes in market opportunities, causing a shift in distribution channelsour strategic priorities, and product mix. International medical markets sales generally commandmarket conditions inclusive of higher rates of borrowing and lower foreign exchange rates. The remaining increase was due to reporting full quarters of operating expenses for the acquired SweetWater and legacy-Tilray business 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 compared to the year ended May 31, 2021. These increases were partially offset by a higher price per gram than adult usechange in fair value of contingent consideration of $44.7 million as a result of a change in the likelihood of achieving specified earn-out EBITDA targets.

Executive compensation increased by 63% in Canada and we experiencedthe year ended May 31, 2022 compared to the prior year, primarily due to an increase in the proportionnumber of international medical sales duringdirectors and executive level personnel on our board of directors and executive management team following the year; 23% versus 12%Tilray and Aphria combination, and an increase in base salaries commensurate with the increased complexity of our Company.

Office and general increased by 39% in the year ended May 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2019. Additionally, higher-priced Cannabis 2.0 products, which did not existprior year, primarily due to the inclusion of the acquired SweetWater and legacy-Tilray entities, and the additional one-time costs associated with the upcoming closure of our Nanaimo, Canada, facility in the comparable periodamount of $5.0 million.  

Salaries and wages increased 39% in 2019, continuedthe year ended May 31, 2022 compared to grow as a percentage of our adult-use business.

We generally expect our average selling price per gram to continue tothe prior year. The increase over time as our international medical cannabis sales continue to grow. However,is primarily due to COVID-19, if international sales are not realized or if construction of our new greenhouse space in Portugal is delayed we may not fully realize our expected increase in sales price because we may not have sufficient scale or product atadditions associated with the potency level neededaforementioned acquisitions from the prior year. The Company’s headcount increased to supply our growing international medical sales business.

The average net selling price per gram increased during 2019 compared to 2018 due to a shift in distribution channels and product mix.

Average cost per gram sold - cannabis. The average cost per gram sold measures the efficiency of our cultivation, manufacturing and fulfillment operations. We exclude hemp products, inventory valuation adjustments and the cost of sales related to accessories from total cost of sales to arrive at cannabis-related cost of sales. Cannabis-related cost of sales is then divided by total kilogram equivalents sold to calculate the average cost per gram sold. As Cannabis 2.0 products become a larger percentage of our mix, and because the Cannabis 2.0 products

57


include other input costs that can be a greater portion of the unit cost than the cannabis ingredients, we may change this operating metric from per gram to per unit measures in the future.

The average cost per gram sold increased 37% during 2020 compared to 2019 partially due to fewer kilograms soldapproximately 1,700 employees as a result of reduced bulk sales,the Arrangement which were included in the Company only for one month in the prior year.

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $36.0 million in the year ended May 31, 2022 compared to $17.4 million to the prior year. The increase is primarily driven by the increased salesnumber of Cannabis 2.0 productsemployees and the accelerated vesting of certain elements of our stock-based compensation awards related to the Arrangement.

Insurance expenses increased by 43% in the year ended May 31, 2022 compared to the prior year, 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.

The Company recognized $4.0 million inthe year ended May 31, 2022 related to insurance recoveries under the business interruption and extra expense portions of CC Pharma’s property insurance.

Selling costs

For the year ended May 31, 2022, the Company incurred selling costs of $34.9 million as compared to $26.6 in the prior year. These costs relate to third-party distributor commissions, shipping costs, Health Canada cannabis fees, and patient acquisition and maintenance costs. Patient acquisition and ongoing patient maintenance costs include funding to individual clinics to assist with additional costs incurred by clinics resulting from the education of patients using the Company’s products. The increase in selling costs as a percent of revenue in the year resulted from incurred costs associated with having both Great North Distributors and Rose Lifesciences as distributors in Canada, a strategic decision intended to increase Canadian cannabis revenue. The increase is mainly driven by the combination of legacy-Tilray.


Amortization

The Company incurred non-production related amortization charges of $115.2 million for the year ended May 31, 2022 compared to $35.2 million in 2021. The increase is largely associated with the amortization on the acquired definite life intangible assets from the SweetWater, legacy-Tilray and Breckenridge acquisitions.

Marketing and promotion cost

For the year ended May 31, 2022, the Company incurred marketing and promotion costs of $30.9 million, as compared to $17.5 in the prior year. The increase is mainly driven by the Arrangement.

Research and development

Research and development costs were $1.5 million in the year ended May 31, 2022, compared to $0.8 million in the prior year. Research and development costs relate to external costs associated with the development of new products.

Impairment

We incurred impairment expense of $378.2 million on our goodwill and intangible assets during the year ended May 31, 2022. The impact was related to changes in market opportunities, causing a shift in our strategic priorities, and market conditions inclusive of higher rates of borrowing and lower foreign exchange rates. The company used a discount rate of 11.21%, terminal growth rate of 5%, and an average revenue growth rate of 46% over 5 years as a result of anticipated federal legalization in various countries. A 1% increase in the discount rate would result in an additional $587 million in impairment, a 1% decrease in the terminal growth rate would result in an additional $457 million in impairment and a 5% decrease in the average revenue growth rate would result in an additional $553 million in impairment. Refer to Part II, Item 8 note 10 “Goodwill” for further details.

Litigation costs

Litigation costs of $16.5 million were expensed during the year ended May 31, 2022 compared to $3.3 million in the prior year. Litigation costs include fees and expenses incurred in connection with defending and settling ongoing litigation matters, net of any judgments or settlement recoveries received from third parties. See Part I, Item 3 – Legal Proceedings for additional information on significant litigation matters.

Transaction costs

Transaction costs of $31.7 million were expensed during the year ended May 31, 2022 compared to $60.4 million in the prior year. Transaction costs largely relate to costs associated with solicitation of stockholder votes supporting an increase in the number of authorized common stock shares, transaction closing costs related to the Arrangement, the investment in MedMen Enterprises Inc., the Breckenridge acquisition, the HEXO transaction and the evaluation of other potential acquisitions and integration costs largely associated with these acquisitions.

For the year ended May 31, 2022, the Company recognized a gain on the change in fair value of its APHA 24 convertible debentures of $163.7 million, compared to a loss on the change in fair value of $170.5 million for the prior year. The change is driven primarily by the changes in the Company’s share price and the change in the trading price of the convertible debentures. For the year ended May 31, 2022, the Company recognized a change in fair value of its warrants of $63.9 million compared to a change in fair value of $1.2 million for the prior year. The large increase is a result of the warrant liability being assumed as part of the Arrangement, which is driven also as a result of the change in our share price. Furthermore, for the year ended May 31, 2022, the Company recognized a loss of $28.4 million, resulting from the changes in foreign exchange rates during the period, compared to a loss of $22.3 million for the prior year, largely associated with the strengthening of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar. The remaining other losses relate to changes in fair value in the Company’s convertible notes receivable and long-term investments.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Measures

Adjusted net income (loss)

Adjusted net loss represents a non-GAAP financial measure that does not have any standardized meaning prescribed under GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. It represents a measure management uses in evaluating operating results to reduce the impact of the volatility caused by fair value accounting of instruments associated with our capital structure, that have no impact on operations. The increase in adjusted net loss is primarily driven by higher amortization costs than dried flower,associated with the definite lived assets acquired during the year, the additional general and partially dueadministrative costs associated with Tilray for the full year and the acquisition of Breckenridge, increase in marketing and promotion associated with Tilray for the full year all offset by higher gross profit.

Adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share – basic represent non-GAAP financial measures that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. It represents a measure management uses in evaluating operating results. Adjusted net loss per share – basic is calculated by dividing the adjusted net loss by the weighted average number of common shares – basic.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and may not be comparable to limited absorptionsimilar measures presented by other companies. The Company calculates adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income before income taxes, interest expense, net, non-operating expense (income), net, amortization, stock-based compensation, change in fair value of contingent consideration, impairment, inventory valuation adjustments, purchase price accounting step up, facility start-up and closure costs, at our facilitylease expense, litigation costs and transaction costs.

The Company’s management believes that this presentation provides useful information to management, analysts and investors regarding certain additional financial and business trends relating to its consolidated results of


operations and financial condition before non-controlling interests. In addition, management uses this measure for reviewing the financial results of the Company and as a component of performance-based executive compensation.

We do not consider adjusted EBITDA in Portugalisolation or as we brought new growing capacity on line. We expectan alternative to see improvementfinancial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of adjusted EBITDA is that it excludes certain expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our cost per gramconsolidated financial statements. In addition, adjusted EBITDA is subject to inherent limitations as this metric reflects the full benefitexercise of our cost reductions, including the closure of growing operations at High Park Gardensjudgment by management about which was a relatively high cost facility to operate,expenses and income are realized and as we generate more throughput and cost absorption at our facilityexcluded or included in Portugal. However, as Cannabis 2.0 products become a larger portion of our mix, and while these products will result in better throughput and cost absorption at our High Park Holdings processing facility, we may see fluctuations in our cost per gram as our product mix changes indetermining adjusted EBITDA. In order to meet customer demand.compensate for these limitations, management presents adjusted EBITDA in connection with GAAP results.

For the year ended May 31, 2022, adjusted EBITDA increased primarily from favorable effects of new lines of business, offset by the inclusion of legacy Tilray’s cannabis business, while we work to achieve our synergies plan, as follows:

The average cost per gram sold decreased during 2019Company’s adjusted EBITDA increased by $7.3 million from $40.8 in the prior year, to $48.0 million in the current year.


Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, net loss. There are a number of limitations related to the use of adjusted EBITDA as compared to 2018 primarilynet loss, the result of improved harvest quantities. In 2018, all the products sold were primarily from Tilray Canada, a GMP indoor grow facility, compared to three greenhouses in operation during 2019.

Average gross selling price per unit – hemp productsclosest comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA excludes: . The average gross selling price per unit is an indicator of our pricing trends over time on a unit basis for our hemp products and is impacted by sales mix, channel and product type. We exclude revenue associated with cannabis, accessories and freight sales to arrive at hemp product-related revenue. We calculate average gross selling price per unit by dividing hemp product-related revenue by units sold.

The average gross selling price per unit for hemp products increased by 2% during 2020 from 2019, as the mix of products sold favored larger sizes and organic product sales versus non-organic. Going forward, this trend may continue as some large format retail customers shift to larger size private label offerings.

Factors Impacting our Business

We believe our future success will primarily depend on the following factors:

Global medical market expansion. We have a significant opportunity to capitalize on cannabis markets globally as medical cannabis becomes legal in more markets. Medical cannabis is now authorized at the national or federal level in 42 countries. We have a production footprint in North American and Europe that will allow us to efficiently respond to the expansion of the medical cannabis market globally. We have also established regional offices in Portugal, Germany and Australia and invested significant resources in personnel, partnerships and in-country sales and marketing to build the foundation for new and existing export channels. Our products have been made available in 17 countries, and we will continue to explore market expansion opportunities as more countries legalize medical cannabis.

Adult-use expansion in Canada. The legalization of the adult-use cannabis market in Canada, and the expansion of the adult-use cannabis market to include new form factors (edibles, beverages and vape products), represents another significant opportunity. We have invested, and will continue to invest, significant resources into production capacity, brand development, business development and corporate infrastructure so we can serve the current and future adult-use market in Canada.

Expanding Household Penetration. We acquired the Manitoba Harvest business in February 2019, which is a leading provider of hemp seeds and related food products that are sold in over 16,000 retail locations in the United States and Canada. The household penetration of hemp seed products is approximately 4.5% in Canada and roughly 1.5% in the United States. Hemp seed products have been available in Canada for a longer period of time relative to the United States and we believe that creating awareness of the wellness benefits of these products provides an opportunity to increase household penetration in the United States. Additionally, the household penetration of broad-spectrum hemp oil containing CBD in the United States is at its early stages and we believe there is significant opportunity to expand our presence in this relatively new product category.

Expanding capacity. At this early stage of the industry, we believe it is beneficial to be vertically integrated and control our entire production process to generate consistency and quality on a large scale. As we expand into new and existing markets, we may need to invest additional resources into cultivation and production facilities, which may require us to raise additional capital.

58


New product innovation. We believe there is a significant market opportunity for non-combustible products as global medical markets mature. In certain developed cannabis markets, non-combustible products have surpassed dried flower on a market share basis. We believe our success will depend on our ability to continually develop, introduce, and leverage non-combustible products and brands, which we believe will have higher gross profits compared to combustible products.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). A detailed discussion of our significant accounting policies can be found in Part II, Item 8, of this Form 10-K in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Note 2, “Summary3, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”, and the impact and risks associated with our accounting policies are discussed throughout this Form 10‑K and in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. We have identified certain policies and estimates as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our past or present results of operations related to (i) COVID-19 related judgmentslong-term investments and estimates,convertible notes receivable, (ii) revenue recognition, (iii) valuationestimated useful lives, impairment consideration and amortization of inventory, (iv) impairment of goodwillcapital and indefinite life intangible assets, (v)(iii) stock-based compensation, (vi)(iv) business combinations, (v) convertible debentures and goodwill, (vii) leases, and (viii) warrants.(vi) warrant liability. These policies and estimates are considered critical because they had a material impact, or they have the potential to have a material impact, on our consolidated financial statements and because they require us to make significant judgments, assumptions or estimates. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions made when accounting for the items described below were reasonable, based on information available at the time they were made. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

 

(i)

COVID-19 related judgments and estimates

The unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact results in uncertainty about future market conditions, the impacts on our business, and consequently, the assumptions we use to develop forecasts of business performance. As a result, significant judgments and estimates have been made in the qualitative and quantitative impairments and the going concern assessments at December 31, 2020. There is no guarantee that our total revenues will grow or remain at similar levels during 2021. Depending on conditions, we may have to review our assumptions which may result in additional adjustments or impairments of assets. Additionally, if COVID-19 continues to negatively impact business conditions around the globe and in our key markets, we may need to further adjust our operations and headcount during the coming periods.

(ii)

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when the control of the promised goods, through performance obligation, is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for the performance obligations. We generate substantially all our revenue from the sale of

Cannabis and hemp products are sold through various distribution channels. Revenue is recognizedthe liability subsequently reduced when the control of the goods is transferredtaxes are remitted to the customer, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon delivery to or receipt by the customer, depending on shipping terms. tax authority.

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

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

Some contracts for the sale of goods may provide customers with a right of return, volume discount, bonuses for volume/quality achievement, or sales allowances.allowance. In addition, wethe 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. We useThe 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 requirements in ASC 606 on constraining estimates are appliedCompany reduces revenue and recognizes a contract liability equal to determine 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 variablecustomer’s consideration. The estimate is updated at each reporting period date.

 

(iii)(ii)

Valuation of inventory

Inventory is comprised of raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods. Cannabis and hemp costs include expenditures directly related to the manufacturing process as well as suitable portions of related production overheads, based on normal operating capacity. Refer to Part II, Item 8, of this Form 10-K in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Note 2, “Summary3, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for further details on our inventory cost policy. At the end of each reporting period, we performthe Company performs an assessment of inventory and record

Changes in the regulatory structure, lack of retail distribution locations or lack of consumer demand could result in future inventory reserves.

 

(iv)(iii)

Impairment of goodwill and indefinite lifeindefinite-lived intangible assets

Goodwill and indefinite lifeindefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when events or circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. As part of the impairment evaluation, we may elect to perform an assessment of qualitative factors. If this qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset or the reporting unit (for goodwill) is less than its carrying value, a quantitative impairment test to compare the fair value to the carrying value.value is performed. An impairment charge is recorded if the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The assessment of whether an indication of impairment exists is performed at the end of each reporting period and requires the application of judgment, historical experience, and external and internal sources of information. We make estimates in determining the future cash flows and discount rates in the quantitative impairment test to compare the fair value to the carrying value.

 

(v)(iv)

Stock-based compensation

We measure and recognize compensation expenses for stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees, directors and non-employeesconsultants on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based on their grant date fair values. We estimate the fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of RSUs is based on the share price as at the date of grant. For stock options and RSUs granted in 2018, prior to the Company’s initial public offering, the fair value of common stock at the date of grant was determined by the Board of Directors with assistance from third-party valuation specialists. We estimate forfeitures at the time of grant and revise these estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Determining the estimated fair value of at the grant date requires judgment in determining the appropriate valuation model and assumptions, including the fair value of common shares on the grant date, risk-free rate, volatility rate, annual dividend yield and the expected term. Volatility is estimated by using the historical volatility of Tilraythe accounting acquirer and, for periods prior to the Company’s initial public offering, other companies that we consider comparable and have trading and volatility history.


 

(vi)(v)

Business combinations and goodwill

We use judgmentjudgement in applying the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations and estimates to value contingent consideration, identifiable assets and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. Estimates are used to determine cash flow projections, including the period of future benefit, and future growth and discount rates, among other factors. The values allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities assumed affect the amount of goodwill recorded on acquisition. Fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is typically estimated using an income approach, which is based on the present value of future discounted cash flows. Significant estimates in the discounted cash flow model include the discount rate, rate of future revenue growth and profitability of the acquired business and working capital effects. The discount rate considers the relevant risk associated with the business-specific characteristics and the uncertainty related to the ability to achieve projected cash flows. These estimates and the resulting valuations require significant judgment. Management engages third party experts to assist in the valuation of material acquisitions.

 

(vii)(vi)

LeasesConvertible notes receivable

ASC 842 requires leasesConvertible 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 accounted for usingother-than-temporary. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, we evaluate, 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 right-of-use model, which recognizes that, atdecline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded in the datestatements of commencement,loss and comprehensive loss and a lessee has a financial obligation to make lease payments to the lessornew cost basis for the rightinvestment is established. We also evaluate whether there is a plan to usesell the underlying asset during the lease term. The lessee recognizes a corresponding right-of-use asset related to this right. The most significant impact is the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases, while the accounting for finance leases remains substantially unchanged.

We apply judgment in determining whether a contract contains a lease and if a lease is classified as an operating leasesecurity, or a finance lease. We determine the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, which may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certainmore likely than not that we will exercise that option. We have several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. We apply judgment in evaluating

60


whether it is reasonably certain whether or notbe required to exercisesell the option to renew or terminate the lease and estimate the lease term applicable to lease contracts. That is, we consider all relevant factors that create an economic incentive to exercise a renewal or termination. After the commencement date, we reassess the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstance that is within our control and affects our ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to renew or terminate. We also apply judgment in allocating the consideration in a contract between lease and non-lease components. We consider whether we can benefit from the right-of-use asset either on its own or together with other resources and whether the asset is highly dependent on or highly interrelated with another right-of-use asset.

Right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present valuesecurity before recovery. If neither of the lease payments overconditions exist, then only the term. As mostportion of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, the incremental borrowing rateimpairment loss attributable to credit loss is used based onrecorded in the information available at commencement datestatements of net loss and the remaining amount is recorded in determining the present value of lease payments. We make estimates in determining the incremental borrowing rates.other comprehensive income (loss).

 

(viii)(vii)

Warrants

In March 2020, we closed on a registered offering including Class 2 common stock that included warrants and pre-funded warrants. As a result, we have adopted an accounting policy for warrants. Warrants are accounted for in accordance with applicable accounting guidance provided in ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (“ASC 815”), as either liabilities or as equity instruments depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement. Our warrants are classified as liabilities and are recorded at fair value. The warrants are subject to remeasurement at each settlement date and at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of change in fair value of warrant liability in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss. Transaction costs allocated to warrants that are presented as a liability are expensed immediately within other expenses (income)transaction costs in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss.

We estimate the fair value of the warrant liability using a Monte CarloBlack-Scholes pricing model. We are required to make assumptions and estimates in determining an appropriate risk-free interest rate, volatility, term, dividend yield, discount due to exercise restrictions, and the fair value of common stock. Any significant adjustments to the unobservable inputs would have a direct impact on the fair value of the warrant liability.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet AdoptedNew Standards and Interpretations Applicable Effective June 1, 2021

Refer to Part II, Item 8, Note 3, Significant Accounting Policies,of this Form 10-K for additional information on changes in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”, for a description of recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted related to income taxes, investments and convertible debt. We are currently evaluating the effect of adopting recent accounting pronouncements on our financial statements.

Revenue.  Revenue increased 26% to $210.5 million during 2020 from $167.0 million in 2019. The increase was driven by $26.5 million or 25% growth in the Cannabis segment, and $17.0 million or 28% growth in the hemp segment. The hemp segment increase was partially due to the timing of the acquisition of Fresh Hemp Foods in 2019 that resulted in the inclusion of 10 months of sales in 2019 compared to 12 months in 2020.

65


2019 revenue increased to $167.0 million from $43.1 million in 2018. The increase was driven by $64 million in the Cannabis segment and the addition of the hemp segment resulting from the acquisition of Manitoba Harvest in 2019 which provided $59.8 million in revenues during 2019.

Cannabis.  Cannabis segment revenue increased 25% to $133.6 million in 2020 from $107.1 million during 2019. The increase was primarily driven by increased sales in our adult-use and international medical markets and modest increases in Canada-medical, all of which were partially offset by a significant planned reduction in bulk sales. The bulk sales reduction was a strategic decision to move away from low margin selling efforts. Excluding bulk sales, the cannabis segment revenues grew by 63%. In the future we may engage in bulk sales as a way to balance certain inventory levels.

Cannabis segment revenue increased 148% to $107.1 million in 2019 from $43.1 million in 2018. The increase was primarily driven by the Canadian adult-use market, which began in October of 2018, the acceleration of international medical sales, and to a lesser extent an increase in bulk sales to other licensed producers. This growth was slightly offset by a decline in Canadian medical sales, which were the result of supply constraints in the first half of 2019.

Hemp.  Hemp segment revenue increased 28% to $76.9 million in 2020 from $59.8 million during 2019.  The increase was the result of a full twelve months of operations in 2020 versus ten months in 2019, increased promotional activity at larger format stores, as well as growth in sales through ecommerce channels as customers shifted buying behavior to online platforms.

Hemp segment revenue began upon the acquisition of Manitoba Harvest on February 28, 2019 and contributed $59.8 million in revenue in 2019.

We also analyze our sales mix by dried cannabis, extracts, hemp and accessories. Dried cannabis represented 44% of revenue in 2020 and 50% in 2019. Cannabis extracts represented 19% of revenue in 2020 compared to 14% in 2019. Hemp products represented 37% of revenues in 2020 versus 36% in 2019. We expect our cannabis products to grow at a faster rate than our other product categories due to the development of the Canadian adult-use market and continued sales growth in international medical markets.

Dried cannabis represented 50% of revenue in both 2019 and 2018. Cannabis extracts represented 14% of revenue in 2019 compared to 49% in 2018. Extracts generally provide for higher margins and the reduction in mix was primarily due to legalization of adult-use cannabis in Canada for a full year in 2019, which limited extract products based on the regulatory framework. Hemp products represented 36% of revenues in 2019 driven by our acquisition of Manitoba Harvest in February 2019.

Gross profit (excluding inventory valuation adjustments) and gross margin percentage (excluding inventory valuation adjustments) are non-GAAP financial measures. For information on how we define and calculate these non-GAAP financial measures, refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.

Cost of sales. Total cost of sales decreased in 2020 compared to 2019 mainly due to reduced inventory adjustments. We incurred inventory valuation adjustments generally due the write off of aged product or products that were unlikely to be sold. Cost of sales related to product costs increased over the comparable period generally due to increased sales and the limited absorption of costs at our facility in Portugal. We implemented cost reductions throughout our supply chain during 2020 and anticipate more favorable product costs on a volume weighted basis.

Cost of sales increased in 2019 from the comparable period in 2018 primarily due to greater sales, the addition of our acquisition and start-up of Natura, the start-up of High Park Farms and Portugal cultivation facilities. Additionally, we purchased third-party cannabis supply at higher prices than our own production costs. We incurred inventory valuation adjustments primarily for cannabis oil products, which did not have the sell through opportunity, as many cannabis derivative products were not available for sale under the regulatory framework until December 2019, resulting in a significant accumulation of cannabis oil and cannabis by-product to be converted into oil.

Gross margin. Gross margin of (3%) in 2020 improved from the comparable period in 2019 primarily due to reduced inventory valuation adjustments and overall improvements in our cost of production related to our cost cutting efforts. Excluding inventory valuation adjustments, gross margin increased to 23%, from 20% in 2019. The improvement resulted from increased sales in international medical markets, the introduction of 2.0 products in the adult use market, and the realization of cost reduction measures implemented throughout the year.

Gross margin of (39%) in 2019 decreased from the comparable period in 2018 primarily due to inventory valuation adjustments. Excluding inventory valuation adjustments, gross margin was 20%, which was impacted by the change in product mix from 2018 as well as the need to purchase high priced third-party supply for the Canadian adult-use market.

Gross profit (excluding inventory valuation adjustments and purchase accounting value step-up) and gross margin percentage (excluding inventory valuation adjustments and purchase accounting value step-up) are non-GAAP financial measures. For information on how we define and calculate these non-GAAP financial measures, refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.

Cost of sales. Cost of sales increased in 2020 compared to 2019 primarily due to sales volume increases, and the inclusion of 12 months of sales in 2020 compared to 10 months (the period after our acquisition of Fresh Hemp Foods) during 2019.

Cost of sales were $41 million in 2019 which included inventory valuation adjustments for certain CBD and protein powder inventory in the amount of $5.1 million (C$6.6 million). Additionally, we reported non-cash charge due to the one-time purchase accounting step-up in inventory value in the amount of $2.0 million for 2019.

Gross margin. Gross margin of 37% in 2020 increased compared to 2019 due to reduced inventory adjustments. Gross margin (excluding inventory valuation adjustments and purchase accounting value step-up) of 42% represented a (1%) decrease from 2019 generally due to increased promotional activity on certain products with certain customers. 2019 was our first financial year reporting hemp product activity and we have no gross margin data for 2018.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased 23% in 2020 compared to 2019 generally due to the partial realization of implemented cost savings initiatives. During 2020, and in order to better align our business with market conditions, we reduced general and administrative headcount by 258 positions and incurred approximately $4.8 million of non-recurring costs primarily associated with severance payments.

General and administrative expenses increased in 2019 and 2018 compared to prior years due to costs incurred for the startup of the operations of our subsidiaries High Park Farms, Ltd., High Park Holdings, Ltd. and Tilray Portugal Unipessoal, Lda., higher employee costs to support a larger business from the acquisition of Manitoba Harvest, increases in professional fees related to legal, audit, human resources and IT services to support our growth, and public company costs. In 2019, we also incurred $8.4 million related to tax equalization expenses for cross-border executives on stock benefits.

Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses decreased in 2020 compared to 2019 primarily due to headcount reductions and other cost savings measures as well our efforts to optimize trade and market spend.

Sales and marketing expenses increased in 2019 from the comparable period in 2018 primarily due to the acquisition of Manitoba Harvest, development of our Canadian adult-use sales and marketing team, and the development of our European leadership team. In addition, High Park developed a comprehensive portfolio of new brands and products for the next phase of the adult-use market.

Research and development. Research and development expenses decreased in 2020 compared to 2019 primarily due to rightsizing and optimizing the departmental structure. These initiatives delivered cost savings and also resulted in a more agile R&D team capable of developing future innovations.

Research and development expenses increased year over year in 2019 and 2018 as compared to the prior years, primarily due to our continued support in advancing cannabinoid-based science to further understand the potential benefits of medical cannabis as a treatment.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased in 2020 compared to 2019, partially due to having a full twelve months of Manitoba Harvest operations, and partially due to the ongoing

69


expansion and commissioning of our production facilities in Portugal. We expect depreciation and amortization to continue to increase as our capital projects are completed and assets are put into service.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased in 2019 compared to 2018 primarily due to increased investment in new cultivation and production facilities as well as investment in acquisitions, resulting in greater fixed assets as well as intangible assets.

Impairment of assets. During 2020, we incurred non-cash impairment charges of $61.1 million.

In the first quarter of 2020, due to the lack of clarity from the FDA regarding CBD products in the United States, COVID-19 related negative impacts on retail shopping, and a commensurate decrease in demand projections for CBD products, we incurred non-cash impairment charges of:

$16.8 million and $6.1 million representing the full net book values of the intangible assets relating to the ABG Profit Participation Agreement and ABG Prince Agreement respectively, and

$7.0 million related to the derecognition of the ABG finance receivable.

In the second quarter of 2020, and primarily related to our decision to close the High Park Gardens facility, we incurred additional non-cash impairment charges of $25.1 million which included impairment charges of:

$13.6 million relating to land and buildings

$10.2 million relating to the write-down of the cultivation license at the facility, and $1.2 million relating to foreign currency translation adjustments.

On June 30, 2020 we completed the separation from Smith & Sinclair, a previously consolidated entity, and recognized impairment charges of $3.3 million generally related to the write-offs of certain trademarks and patents.

In addition, in December 2020, we re-classified the land and buildings at our High Park Gardens facility from assets held for sale to assets held and used and have recorded a $2.9 million impairment charge to record the assets at their fair value.

In 2019, an impairment of $112.1 million was recognized on our ABG Profit Participation Agreement, due to the analysis of cash flows which had been reduced due to the delayed clarity from the FDA regarding CBD products in the United States.

Loss from equity method investments. Losses from equity method investments for 2020 was $6.0 million compared to $4.5 million in 2019 based on our proportionate share of the operating (gains) losses from our equity method investments.

Foreign exchange (gain) loss, net. The impact of foreign exchange for the year ended December 31, 2020 was a gain of $13.2 million, compared to a gain of $5.9 million in 2019. We hold a significant portion of our assets in Canadian dollars and the Euro, the fluctuations in foreign exchange rates between Canadian dollars, the Euro, and United States dollars drove the foreign exchange gain for 2020.

Foreign exchange in 2019was a $5.9 million gain compared to $7.2 million loss in 2019. As we hold a significant portion of assets in Canadian dollars, the appreciation of foreign exchange rates between Canadian dollars and United States dollars drove the foreign exchange gain in 2019.

Change in fair value of warrant liability. In March 2020 we closed an equity offering which resulted in a warrant liability recorded at fair value. The warrant liability is marked to market, with the primary underlying input into the warrant valuation being our own stock price. Due to the movements in the market price of our stock since the offering closed, the fair value of the warrant liability increased by $100.2 million during 2020.

Interest expenses, net.Interest expense, net in 2020 was $39.2 million, compared to $34.7 million in 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to the Senior Facility which was entered into on February 28, 2020. We expect a decrease in interest expense in 2021 to reflect the reduction of total outstanding debt instruments resulting from the conversion into equity of $197.1 million convertible notes.

Interest expenses, net in 2019 was $34.7 million compared to $9.1 million in 2018. The increase in expense in 2019 from 2018 was primarily due to the addition of the $475 million in convertible notes that were issued in October 2018. In 2018 interest expense was related to loans from a third-party mortgage on Tilray Canada, Ltd. and Privateer Holdings debt facilities.

Finance income from ABG. Finance income from ABG decreased in 2020 as the ABG finance receivable was written-off during the first quarter of 2020.

Finance income from ABG represents interest income from ABG Profit Participation Arrangement which was entered into in 2019.

Other loss (income), net. Other loss (income), net decreased in 2020 compared to 2019 due to declines in the fair value of certain equity investments as well as the realization of losses on the sale of certain equity investments during Q4 2020. Additionally, we incurred other expense of $4.0 million related to issuance costs associated with the March 2020 equity offering.

Other loss (income), net increased in 2019 compared to 2018 due to gains on the sale of short-term investments during the year ended December 31, 2019, offset by unrealized losses on equity investments recorded at fair value. In 2018, prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-01, unrealized gains and losses on equity investments recorded at fair value were recorded to other comprehensive income.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. For information on how we define and calculate Adjusted EBITDA, and a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA, refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Net loss decreased in 2020 from the comparable periods in 2019 and 2018 primarily due to reduced operating expenses resulting from the cost optimization measures undertaken by us during 2020, accompanied by reduced inventory valuation adjustments and asset impairments, and our ability to leverage sales growth with a reduced cost structure.

Net loss increased in 2019 from 2018 due to the impairment of assets, inventory valuation adjustments, an increase in operating expenses related to continued growth, the expansion of our international teams, interest related to our convertible notes, and the results of the Manitoba Harvest and Natura businesses acquired.

Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) increased in 2020 from 2019 primarily due to cost reduction measures undertaken during 2020, and our ability to leverage sales growth with a reduced cost structure.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased in 2019 from 2018 primarily due to increases in operating expenses related to continued growth as well as expansion and development into new markets.

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

Non-cash inventory valuation adjustments;

Severance costs;

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

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

Other stock-based compensation expenses included within general and administrative expenses, relating to tax equalization expenses for cross-border executives on stock benefits.

Non-cash gain on extinguishment of convertible debt, as this is not expected to be a recurring business activity;

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

Non-cash loss from equity method investments;

72


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

Non-cash change in fair value of warrant liability;

Interest expense, finance income from ABG, and loss on disposal of property and equipment to reflect ongoing operating activities;

Other expenses (income), net includes acquisition related expenses, which vary significantly by transactions and are excluded to evaluate ongoing operating results;

Amortization of purchase accounting step-up in inventory value included in costs of sales - product costs; and

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

Gross profit (excluding inventory valuation adjustments)

Gross profit (excluding inventory valuation adjustments) is a non-GAAP measure calculated in the cannabis segment. It is calculated as revenue less cost of sales, adjusted to add back inventory valuation adjustments.

Gross margin percentage (excluding inventory valuation adjustments)

Gross margin percentage (excluding inventory valuation adjustments) is a non-GAAP measure calculated in the cannabis segment. It is calculated as the gross profit (excluding inventory valuation adjustments), as described above, divided by revenue.

Gross profit (excluding inventory valuation adjustments and purchase accounting value step-up)

Gross profit (excluding inventory valuation adjustments and purchase accounting value step-up) is a non-GAAP measure calculated in the hemp segment. It is calculated as revenue less cost of sales, adjusted to add back inventory valuation adjustments and purchase accounting value step-up of $0 for 2020 (2019 - $2,041).

On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”), which significantly changed United States tax law. The Act lowered the United States statutory federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was enacted and signed into law in the U.S. The CARES Act, among other things, permits U.S. net operating loss ("NOL") carryovers and carrybacks to offset 100% of U.S. taxable income for taxable years

73


beginning before 2021. The CARES Act also contains modifications to increase the allowable business interest deduction.

The Company’s effective tax rate for 2020 was lower than the 2020 United States tax rate primarily due to non-deductible unrealized losses associated with the warrant liability, non-deductible share-based compensation, and minimal taxes in foreign tax jurisdictions and no United States current taxes due to net operating losses. Income tax benefit in 2020 was $5.6 million compared to $8.5 million in 2019. The decrease in tax benefit in 2020 from 2019 was primarily due to lower recognition of tax benefit from operating losses.

The Company’s effective tax rate for 2019 was lower than the 2019 United States tax rate primarily due to minimal taxes in foreign tax jurisdictions and no United States current taxes due to net operating losses. Income tax benefit in 2019 was $8.5 million compared to $4.5 million in 2018. The increase in tax benefit in 2019 from 2018 was primarily due to tax attributes related to acquisitions in 2019.

As of December 31, 2020, we had United States net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $140 million that can be carried forward indefinitely and generally limited in annual use to 80% of current year taxable income starting 2020. We have Canadian net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $259 million that can be carried forward 20 years and begin to expire in 2028. We believe that it is more-likely-than-not that the benefit from certain United States and foreign net operating loss carryforwards will not be realized. In recognition of this risk, the change in the total valuation allowance was an increase of $62 million and $70 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We continually evaluate the amount of the valuation allowance, if any, by assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As at December 31, 2020, we hadWe actively manage our cash and cash equivalents of $189.7 million, which were held for working capital and general corporate purposes. This represents an overall increase of $92.9 million since December 31, 2019. Our primary need for liquidity is to fund working capital requirements, capital expenditures, debt service obligations and for general corporate purposes. Our ability to fund operations and make planned capital expenditures and debt service obligations depends on future operating performance and cash flows which are subject to prevailing economic, business, and financial conditions, and other factors.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, we successfully raised funds with the following financing activities:

On February 28, 2020, we entered into a credit agreement for a senior secured credit facility, denominated in Canadian dollars, for a maximum aggregate principal amount of $59.6 million (C$79.8 million). An aggregate principal amount equal to $49.7 million (C$66.5 million) was drawn on February 28, 2020.

On March 17, 2020, we closed an underwritten registered offering of 7,250,000 shares of Class 2 common stock for $4.76 per share and 11,750,000 pre-funded warrants for $4.7599 accompanied by 19,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $5.95 per warrant. The pre-funded warrants had an exercise price per share of Class 2 common stock of $0.0001. All the pre-funded warrants have been exercised. The 19,000,000 total accompanying warrants allow the holder to purchase 19,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class 2 common stock. The warrants have an exercise price per share of Class 2 common stock of $5.95 and are exercisable at any time after the first trading day following the six-month anniversary of the issuance and will expire on the fifth anniversary date from the date they become exercisable. Our net proceeds from this offering (excluding the exercise price of any warrants) was $85.3 million (gross proceeds of $90.4 million);

During the year ended December 31, 2020, we issued 16,131,487 shares of Class 2 common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $127 million under the at-the-market equity offering program.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, we have experienced certain impacts to our business due to COVID-19. In particular, we believe the impacts of COVID-19 on customer and patient behavior in our key markets, the temporary closure or restrictions on cannabis retail outlets in the Canadian market, and the impact on retail markets in general, have introduced unexpected challenges and suppressed sales of our products. We have largely been able to maintain satisfactory production levels at our facilities and have not experienced any outbreaks of COVID-19 among our employees. While we have been able to mitigate many of the impacts of COVID-19, there

74


remain uncertainties about the future impact on consumer and patient behaviors, cannabis and retail markets in general, our selling and manufacturing operations, and capital markets. Any of these negative impacts, alone or in combination, may require us to raise additional capital on potentially unattractive terms and or significantly reduce our costsinvestments in order to fullyinternally fund our business. Currently, we do not anticipate having to take these actions but, due to our inability to assess the full future impact of COVID-19operating needs, make scheduled interest and principal payments on our customers, financial markets,borrowings, and our own business, we are continually evaluating many factors that will help us make decisions in a timely manner.

acquisitions. On June 5, 2020,March 3, 2021, we entered into an at the First Amendmentmarket offering arrangement (the ATM Program) pursuant to which we may offer and sell common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $400 million. The ATM Program is intended to strengthen our balance sheet and improve our liquidity position. In addition, the Senior Facility. The First Amendment providesCompany may from time to time use available cash to repurchase its outstanding convertible debentures in open market transactions. We believe that existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and cash generated by operations, together with expected proceeds from the Senior Facility will only require interest payments for the remainderATM Program and access to external sources of its term and all outstanding principal paymentsfunds, will be due at maturity, February 28, 2022. We have been,sufficient to meet our domestic and currently are, in full compliance with all terms of the Senior Facility and will not incur any fees or penalties in connection with the First Amendment. Additionally, and at such time as the lender’s business may allow, the lender may make the additional proceeds of $9.9 million (C$13.3 million) available during the term of the Credit Agreement, at its sole discretion. Concurrently, with the First Amendment, the lender also approved our ability to sell the High Park Gardens facility, if and when we desire. As part of any sale of the High Park Gardens facility, the Lender has agreed that we may retain 60% of any sales proceeds (net of all expenses, fees and taxes), and that the lender shall receive 40% of all sales proceeds (net of all expenses, fees and taxes). All sales proceeds to the lender will be applied as a repayment of principal on the Senior Facility, without any prepayment penalties or fees.

The warrants issued as part of the registered offering contain anti-dilution price protection features which, so long as the warrants remain outstanding, allow us to only issue up to $20.0 million in aggregate gross proceeds under our at-the-market offering program at prices less than the $5.95 per share exercise price of the warrants, and in no event more than $6.0 million per quarter, at prices below the $5.95 per share exercise price of the warrants, without triggering the price protection features.

The warrants 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 a cashless exercise, and be issued un-registered shares in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the 1933 Act. In the event we do not maintain an effective registration statement, we may be required to pay a daily cash penalty equal to 1% of the number of shares of Class 2 common stock due to be issued multiplied by any trading price of the Class 2 common stock between the exercise date and the share delivery date, as selected by the holder. Alternatively, we may deliver registered Class 2 common stock purchasedforeign capital needs in the open market. We may also be required to pay cash if we do not have sufficient authorized shares to deliver to the holders upon exercise, which could have a material impact to our business.foreseeable future.

During November 2020, we entered into two privately negotiated exchange agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”) with certain holders of our 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”). Under the terms of the Exchange Agreements, the holders agreed to exchange an aggregate principal amount of approximately $197.2 million of Notes plus accrued interest held by them in exchange for an aggregate of 17,339,577 shares of our Class 2 common stock. Effectively, we agreed to repurchase a portion of our Notes at discounts of 36% and 42%, respectively, to their face value, using shares issued at our most recent closing market price on November 20, 2020 and November 23, 2020 (which is equivalent to a conversion price of $7.36 per share and $6.68 per share, respectively).

Due to uncertainties we may face in raising additional equity financing in the future, which may be further impacted by the economic downturn and unprecedented conditions due to COVID-19, there remains uncertainty what impact this may have on managements assumptions used to develop these forecasts. Given our cash position and current operating plan, management believes there is not significant doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months.

Cash flows from operating activities

The changes in net cash used by operating activities in 2020 compared to 2019 primarily related to changes in our cost structure, and improvements in working capital.

The changes in net cash used by operating activities in 2019 compared to 2018 was primarily due to an increase in operating costs to expand cultivation facilities, enter new markets and public company costs.

Cash flows from investing activities

The change in net cash used in investingoperating activities in 2020during the year ended May 31, 2022, compared to 2019 increased due to a reduction in acquisition based activities compared to 2019 during which we acquired Manitoba Harvest and Natura Naturals, made our investment in the ABG Profit Participation Arrangement, and made purchases of significant property and equipment related to our expansion projects in Canada and Portugal.

The change in net cash used in investing activities in 2019 compared to 2018prior year same period is primarily related to our acquisitionspayments associated with the Tilray Aphria merger, litigation costs, income taxes at Aphria Diamond, investments in inventory and settlement of Manitoba Harvest, Naturaaccounts payable and S&S, investmentaccrued liabilities in the ABG Profit Participation Arrangement,period.

We believe our existing cash will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements.

We manage our liquidity risk by preparing budgets and cash forecasts to ensure we have sufficient funds to meet obligations. In managing working capital, we may limit the amount of our cash needs by selling inventory at wholesale rates, pursuing additional financing sources, and managing the timing of capital expenditures. While we believe we have sufficient cash to meet existing working capital requirements in the short term, we may

As a result of changing industry dynamics, we successfully renegotiated or terminated,Purchase and continue to renegotiate the terms of supply agreements, including quantities and pricing, related to CBD, cannabis extracts/oils, and hemp flower. The remaining re-negotiations are ongoing and there can be no assurance that terms satisfactory to us can be reached on a timely basis, or at all. The failure of re-negotiations could result in us being contractually obligated to purchase significant amounts of products, some of which may be priced above then-current market prices, or litigation against us, or interruption of the supply of inputs for the manufacturing of our products, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and prospects. In addition, any litigation or arbitration resulting in an adverse judgment or award against us could result in a default under our Senior Facility and convertible notes.

In 2018, the Company signed an agreement with Rose Lifescience Inc. (“Rose”) for distribution and marketing of product in Quebec in exchange for a minimum fee of $384 per annum for an initial term of five years, and agreed to purchase the lesser of 2,000 Kg per year or 40% of the production of Cannabis at a rate of 115% of cost of goods sold from the Rose facility. In September 2020, the Company signed an amendment to this agreement under which the Company is no longer obligated to purchase product from Rose nor pay the minimum fee. Instead, the amendment requires the Company to make approximately 40,000 kilograms equivalent of Tilray product available in the province of Quebec through 2023 for Rose to sell and for the Company to pay Rose a compensation fee based on net revenues of product sold in Quebec. The estimated total compensation fee is approximately $8.0

77


million through 2023. Because there is no firm commission fee these amounts are not included in the above schedule. Compensation fee expense is recorded as incurred.

In 2018, we entered into a Product and Trademark License Agreement with Docklight LLC, a related party, to use certain intellectual property rights in exchange for payment of royalty fees depending upon specified percentages of licensed product net sales, this deal was amended in 2020. Because the purchase commitment is an undeterminable variable amount, it is excluded from the above schedule.

The Company has payments on the Convertible Notes, the Senior Facility, ABG finance liability, for long-term debt, convertible debentures, material purchase commitments and Portugal constructionconstructions commitments, as follows:follows:

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Interest Rate RiskThe Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments: credit; liquidity; currency rate; and, interest rate price.

Interest rate


(a)

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that the value or yield of available-for-sale debt securities may decline if interest rates decline or that the value of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The maximum credit exposure at May 31, 2022, is the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaids and other current assets and convertible notes receivable. All cash and cash equivalents are placed with major financial institutions in Canada, Australia, Portugal, Germany, Colombia, Argentina and the United States.To date, the Company has not experienced any losses on its cash deposits. Accounts receivable are unsecured, and the Company does not require collateral from its customers.

(b)

Liquidity risk

As at May 31, 2022, the Company’s financial liabilities will increase if interest rates increase. Fluctuationsconsist of bank indebtedness and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which have contractual maturity dates within one-year, long-term debt, and convertible debentures which have contractual maturities over the next five years.

The Company maintains debt service charge and leverage covenants on certain loans secured by its Aphria Diamond facilities and 420 that are measured quarterly.  The Company believes that it has sufficient operating room with respect to its financial covenants for the next fiscal year and does not anticipate being in breach of any of its financial covenants.  

The Company manages its liquidity risk by reviewing its capital requirements on an ongoing basis. Based on the Company’s working capital position at May 31, 2022, management regards liquidity risk to be low.

(c)

Currency rate risk

As at May 31, 2022, a portion of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities held in Canadian dollars and Euros consist of cash and cash equivalents, convertible notes receivable, and long-term investments. The Company’s objective in managing its foreign currency risk is to minimize its net exposure to foreign currency cash flows by transacting, to the greatest extent possible, with third parties in the functional currency. The Company is exposed to currency rate risk in other comprehensive income, relating to foreign subsidiaries which operate in a foreign currency. The Company does not currently use foreign exchange contracts to hedge its exposure of its foreign currency cash flows as management has determined that this risk is not significant at this point in time.

(d)

Interest rate price risk

The Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates may impactrelates primarily to the level of income and expense recorded on these financial instruments. A 1% change in theCompany’s outstanding debt. The Company manages interest rate in effect on December 31, 2020 would not have a material effect on i)risk by restricting the fair valuetype of our available-for-sale debt securities asinvestments and varying the majorityterms of maturity and issuers of marketable securities. Varying the terms to maturity reduces the sensitivity of the portfolio consiststo the impact of convertible debt instruments with a fixed interest rate of 10%, or ii) the convertible note financial liabilities as they bear interest at a fixed rate of 5% and are not publicly traded. The Senior Facility bears interest on the outstanding principal balance at an annual rate equal to the Canadian prime rate plus 8.05%. A hypothetical 1% increase in the Canadian prime rate would result in an increase of $0.4 million recorded in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Equity Price Risks

As of December 31, 2020, we held long-term equity investments at fair value and equity investments under the measurement alternative. These investment in equities were acquired as part of our strategic transactions. Accordingly, the changes in fair values of investment in equities measured at fair value or under the measurement alternative are recognized through other expense (income), net in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss. Because of the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak, there is increased risk of declines in fair values of our equity investments if conditions have not been significantly improved and global stock markets have not recovered from recent declines. Based on the fair value of investment in equities held as of December 31, 2020, a hypothetical decrease of 10% in the prices for these companies would reduce the fair values of the investments and result in unrealized loss recorded in other expense (income), net by $0.05 million. Similarly, based on the fair value of our warrant liability as of December 31, 2020, a hypothetical increase of 10% in the price for our common stock would increase the change in fair value of warrant liability by $5.8 million.

Foreign Currency Risk

Our consolidated financial statements are expressed in United States dollars. However, a significant portion of our business and assets and liabilities are denominated in a variety of currencies, the most significant of which are the Canadian dollar and the Euro. As a result, we are exposed to foreign currency transaction and translation gains and losses. The statements of net loss and comprehensive loss and statements of cash flows are translated to USD by applying the average foreign exchange rate in effect during the reporting period. Assets and liabilities are translated into US dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Appreciating foreign currencies relative to the United States dollar will positively impact operating income and net earnings, and increase the value of assets and liabilities, while depreciating foreign currencies relative to the United States dollar will negatively impact operating income and net earnings and reduce the value of assets and liabilities.

A 10% change in the exchange rates for the Canadian dollar would affect the carrying value of net assets by approximately $45.9 million as of December 31, 2020, with a corresponding impact to accumulated other comprehensive loss. We are also exposed to risk related to changes in the value of the Euro due to our one construction commitment in Portugal. 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 or losses could have a significant, and potentially adverse, effect on our results of operations.fluctuations.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

Basis of preparation

The accompanying policies applied in these consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts of the Company. The financial statements wereare prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Based on the determination that Aphria was the accounting acquirer in the Arrangement, Aphria’s historical financial statements became the historical financial statements of the Company. The acquired assets and liabilities of Tilray are included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of April 30, 2021 and the results of its operations and cash flows are included in the Company’s consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss and cash flows for periods beginning after April 30, 2021.  In conjunction with the reverse acquisition, the Company elected to adopt Aphria’s fiscal year end of June 1 to May 31. Accordingly, comparisons between the Company's results for the year ended May 31, 2022 and prior periods may not be meaningful, as the reported results do not include the operations of legacy-Tilray and its subsidiaries on and prior to April 30, 2021.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on athe 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.

For the fiscal yearyears ended DecemberMay 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company reported a consolidated net loss of $271,073$(434,132), $(336,014) and a consolidated net loss of $321,169 and $67,723 for the years ending December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018,$(100,833), respectively.

For the years ended DecemberMay 31, 2020, 20192022,


2021 and 2018,2020, the Company had cash flows used in operating activities of $129,351, $258,065$(177,262), $(44,717) and $46,248,(100,627), respectively. The Company had net cash inflows for the year ended DecemberAs of May 31, 2020 of $92,911.

The entities listed above are wholly owned by the Company and have been formed or acquired to support the intended operations of the Company and all intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the financial statements of the Company.

The financial statements also include variable interest entities (“VIE”). A VIE is a legal entity that does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, is structured such that equity investors lack the ability to make significant decisions relating to the entity’s operations through voting rights, or do not substantively participate in the gains and losses of the entity. Upon inception of a contractual agreement, the Company performs an assessment to determine whether the arrangement contains a variable interest in a legal entity and whether that legal entity is a VIE. The primary beneficiary has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Where the Company concludes it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company consolidates the accounts of that VIE. When the Company is not the primary beneficiary, the VIE is accounted for using the equity method and is included in equity method investments on the balance sheets. At December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no consolidated VIEs. Refer to Note 7 for the Company’s VIEs accounted for using the equity method.

The Company regularly reviews and reconsiders previous conclusions regarding whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The Company also reviews and reconsiders previous conclusions regarding whether the Company holds a variable interest in a potential VIE, the status of an entity as a VIE, and whether the Company is required to consolidate such a VIE in the financial statements when a change occurs.

New accounting pronouncements recently adopted

Allowance for credit losses

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standard Board, (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This guidance was subsequently amended by ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements, ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements, ASU 2019-05, Targeted Transition Relief, ASU 2019-10, Effective Dates, and ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements. These ASUs are referred to collectively as the new guidance on current expected credit loss (“CECL”). As a result of the adoption of the new CECL guidance on January 1, 2020, the Company has changed its accounting policy for the allowance for credit losses, as it relates to accounts receivable and available-for-sale debt securities. The adoption of the CECL guidance did not have a material impact on the financial statements at January 1, 2020.

Disclosure framework – fair value measurement

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 removes (a) the prior requirement to disclose the amount and reason for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy contained in ASC Topic 820, (b) the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and (c) the valuation process used for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 also adds, among other items, a requirement to disclose the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 effective January 1, 2020 and such adoption did not have a material effect on its financial statements.

Use of estimates and significant judgments

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities, accompanying disclosures and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. These estimates and judgments are subject to change based on experience and new information which could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities affecting future periods. Estimates and judgments are assessed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognized prospectively.

Examples of key estimates in these financial statements include the value of Class 2 common shares with transfer restrictions, asset impairment including the impact of COVID-19 on estimated future cash flows and fair values, imputed interest for loans receivable, the allowance for credit losses, provisions for prepayments and other current assets, inventory valuation adjustments that contemplate the market value of, and demand for inventory, estimated useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, valuation allowance on deferred income tax assets, determining the fair value of financial instruments, fair value of stock-based compensation, estimated variable consideration on contracts with customers, sales return estimates, the fair value of the convertible notes and equity component and the classification, the fair value of the warrant liability using a Monte Carlo pricing model, incremental borrowing rates and lease terms applicable to lease contracts.

Financial statement areas that require significant judgments are as follows:

Variable interest entities - The Company assesses all variable interests in entities and uses judgment when determining if the Company is the primary beneficiary. Other qualitative factors that are considered include decision-making responsibilities, the VIE capital structure, risk and rewards sharing, contractual agreements with the VIE, voting rights and the level of involvement of other parties.

Asset impairment – Asset impairment tests require the allocation of assets to asset groups, where appropriate, which requires significant judgment and interpretation with respect to the integration between the assets and shared resources. Asset impairment tests require the determination of whether there is an indication of impairment. The assessment of whether an indication of impairment exists is performed at the end of each reporting period and requires the application of judgment, historical experience, and external and internal sources of information.

Leases – The Company applies judgment in determining whether a contract contains a lease and if a lease is classified as an operating lease or a finance lease. The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable

87


term of the lease, which may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

The Company has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. The Company applies judgment in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise either the renewal or termination. After the commencement date, the Company reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to renew or to terminate (e.g., construction of significant leasehold improvements or significant customization to the leased asset).

The Company also applies judgment in allocating the consideration in a contract between lease and non-lease components. It considers whether the Company can benefit from the right-of-use asset either on its own or together with other resources and whether the asset is highly dependent on or highly interrelated with another right-of-use asset.

Net loss per share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing reported net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reported period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock of the Company, duringinclude the reporting period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the sumaccounts of the weighted average number of common sharescompany, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and the number of potential dilutive 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 and the incremental shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes. Potential dilutive common share equivalents consist of stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and restricted stock awards.majority owned subsidiaries (see Note 21). All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated.

In computing diluted earnings 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. As of December 31, 2020, there were 28,784,308 common share equivalents with potential dilutive impact (2019 – 10,532,988, 2018 – 7,902,263). Since the Company is in a net loss for all periods presented in these financial statements, there is no difference between the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share for the periods presented.Equity method investments

Business combinations and goodwill

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method inIn accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations,323, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures, investments in entities over which requires recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent assets and liabilities, at their respective fair values on the date of acquisition. Any excess ofCompany does not have a controlling financial interest but has significant influence are accounted for using the purchase consideration over the net fair value of tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. The costs of business acquisitions, including fees for accounting, legal, professional consulting and valuation specialists, are expensed as incurred within acquisition-related (income) expenses, net. Purchase price allocations may be preliminary and, during the measurement period not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, changes in assumptions and estimates that result in adjustments to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded in the period the adjustments are determined.

For business combinations achieved in stages,equity method, with the Company’s previously held interestshare of earnings or losses reported in the acquiree is remeasured at its acquisition date fair value, with the resulting gainearnings or loss recorded in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss. For a pre-existing relationship between the Company and the acquiree that is not extinguished on the business combination, such a relationship is considered effectively settled as part of the business combination even if it is not legally cancelled. At the acquisition date, it becomes an intercompany relationship and is eliminated upon consolidation.

The estimated fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities are determined primarily using a discounted cash flow approach, with estimated cash flows discounted at a rate that the Company believes a market participant would determine to be commensurate with the inherent risks associated with the asset and related estimated cash flow streams. Contingent consideration in a business combination is remeasured at fair value each reporting period until the contingency is resolved and any change in fair valuelosses from either the passage of time or events occurring after the acquisition date, is recorded within acquisition-related (income) expenses, netequity method investments on the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss.  Equity method investments are recognized initially at cost, which includes transaction costs. After initial recognition, the consolidated financial statements include the Company’s share of undistributed earnings or losses, and impairment, if any, until the date on which significant influence ceases.

If the Company’s share of losses in an equity investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any net advances, the group does not recognize further losses, unless it has guaranteed obligations of the investee or is otherwise committed to provide further financial support for the investee.

Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company and its equity-method investees are eliminated only to the extent of the Company’s interest in these entities. Unrealized losses are also eliminated, except to the extent that the underlying asset is impaired.

Significant accounting policies

The significant accounting policies used by the Company are as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash and highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible into known amounts of cash with original maturities of three months or less.

Cash and cash equivalents include amounts held in USD, CAD,United States dollar, Canadian dollar, Euro, Australian dollar, Chilean Peso, Great Britain Pound, Japanese Yen,pound, Colombian peso, Argentine peso, and corporate bonds, commercial paper, treasury bills and money market funds.funds.

Accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses


Accounts receivable – the

The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses at an amount sufficient to absorb losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio as of the reporting dates based on the projection of expected credit losses.

The Company applies the aging method to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses. The aging method is applied to accounts receivables at the business unit level to reflect shared risk characteristics, such as

89


receivable type, customer type and geographical location. The aging method assigns accounts receivables to a level of delinquency and applies loss rates to each class based on historical loss experience. The Company also considers relevant qualitative and quantitative factors to assess whether historical loss experience should be adjusted to better reflect the risk characteristics of the current classes and the expected future loss. This assessment incorporates all available information relevant to considering the collectability of its current classes, including considering economic and business conditions, default trends, changes in its class composition, among other internal and external factors. The expected credit loss estimates are adjusted for current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts.

As part of the Company’s analysis of expected credit losses, it may analyze contracts on an individual basis in situations where such accounts receivables exhibit unique risk characteristics and are not expected to experience similar losses to the rest of their class.

Available-for-sale debt securities – The Company assesses its available-for-sale debt securities for impairment at each measurement date. When the fair value is less than the amortized cost, the Company assesses whether it intends to sell the security. When it is assessed that the Company will sell the security or the Company will be required to sell before recovery, the difference between the fair value and amortized cost is recorded as an impairment of assets in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss. When the Company does not intend to sell and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell before recovery, the Company assesses whether a portion of the unrealized loss is a result of a credit loss. The Company recognizes the portion related to credit loss as credit loss expenses in general and administrative expenses within the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss and the portion of unrealized loss related to factors other than credit losses in other comprehensive loss. The Company determines the best estimate of the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the available-for-sale debt securities on an individual basis based on past events, current conditions and forecasts relevant to the individual securities.Inventory

Inventory

Inventory is comprised of raw materials, finished goods and work-in-progress. Cost includes expenditures directly related to the manufacturing process as well as suitable portions of related production overheads, based on normal operating capacity.

Cannabis: Inventory costs include pre-harvest, post-harvest, shipment and fulfillment, as well as costs related to accessories. Pre-harvest costs include labor and direct materials to grow cannabis, which includes water, electricity, nutrients, integrated pest management, growing supplies and allocated overhead. Post-harvest costs include costs associated with drying, trimming, blending, extracting, purifying, quality testing and allocated overhead. Shipment and fulfillment costs include the costs of packaging, labelling, courier services, allocated overhead, and excise taxes.

Hemp: Inventory cost includes seeds, packaging and co-packing. Seed costs include commodity cost paid to farmers, genetic seed cost to provide and manage contracted farmers, hulling and processing costs, including labor and overhead. Packaging costs include packaging materials, labor and overhead to run machinery. Co-packing cost are generally for products not manufactured by the Company directly and would include all costs to produce the products.

Inventory is statedvalued at the lower of cost orand net realizable value, determined using weighted average cost. All direct and indirect costs related to inventory are capitalized as they are incurred, and they are subsequently recorded in cost of goods sold on the statements of loss and comprehensive loss at the time inventory is sold. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. At the end of each reporting period, the Company performs an assessment of inventory and records write-downs for excess and obsolete inventories based on the Company’s estimated forecast of product demand, production requirements, market conditions, regulatory environment, and spoilage.spoilage. Actual inventory losses may differ from management’s estimates and such differences could be material to the Company’s balance sheets, statements of netfinancial position, statements of loss and comprehensive loss and statements of cash flows.

Intangible assets

IntangibleConstruction-in-process includes construction progress payments, deposits, engineering costs, interest expense on long-term construction projects and other costs directly related to the construction of the facilities. Expenditures are capitalized during the construction period and construction in progress is transferred to the relevant class of property and equipment when the assets are available for use, at which point the depreciation of the asset commences.

The estimated useful lives are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

Interest incurred relating to the construction or expansion of facilities is capitalized to the construction in progress. The Company ceases the capitalization of interest when construction activities are substantially completed and the facility is available for commercial use.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets include intangible assets acquired as part of business combinations, asset acquisitions and other business transactions. The Company records intangible assetsrecorded at cost net of accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost is measured based on the fair values of cash consideration paid and equity interests issued. The cost of an intangible asset acquired is its acquisition date fair value.

The Company capitalizes certain internal-use software development costs, consisting primarily of contractor costs and employee salaries and benefits allocated to the software. Capitalization of costs incurred in connection with internally developed software commences when both the preliminary project stage is completed and management has authorized further funding for the project, based on a determination that it is probable the project will be completed and used to perform the function intended. Capitalization of costs ceases no later than the point at which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. All other costs are expensed as incurred. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over three years. Costs incurred for enhancements that are expected to result in additional functionalities are capitalized.

Amortization of definite life intangible assets is calculatedamortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful liveslives. The Company uses the following ranges of the assets as follows:asset lives:

When there is no foreseeable limit on the period of time over which an intangible asset is expected to contribute to the cash flows of the Company, an intangible asset is determined to have an indefinite life. Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortized, but tested for impairment annually or more frequently when indicators of impairment exist. If the carrying value of an individual indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, such individual indefinite-life intangible asset is impaired by the amount of the excess.


 

The estimated useful lives are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property and equipmentcapital assets and definite life intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. In order to determine if assets have been impaired, assets are grouped and tested at the lowest

91


level for which identifiable independent cash flows are available (“asset group”). An impairment loss is recognized when the sum of projected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset group. The measurement of the impairment loss to be recognized is based on the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the asset group. Fair value canmay be determined using a market approach or income approach or cost approach.

Business combinations and goodwill

The reversal Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, ASC 805, Business Combinations which requires recognition of impairment losses is prohibited.assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent assets and liabilities, at their respective fair values on the date of acquisition.

Contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Contingent consideration that is classified as a liability is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates, with the corresponding gain or loss recognized in profit or loss.

Non-controlling interests in the acquiree are measured at fair value on acquisition date. Acquisition-related costs are recognized as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are received (except for the costs to issue debt or equity securities which are recognized according to specific requirements).

Purchase price allocations may be preliminary and, during the measurement period not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, changes in assumptions and estimates that result in adjustments to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded in the period the adjustments are determined.

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred for the acquisition of subsidiaries over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Impairment of goodwill and indefinite lifeindefinite-lived intangible assets

GoodwillGoodwill is allocated to the reporting unit in which the business that created the goodwill resides. A reporting unit is an operating segment, or a business unit one level below that operating segment, for which discrete financial information is prepared and indefinite liferegularly reviewed by segment management. We operate in 4 operating segments which are our reporting units, and goodwill is allocated at the operating segment level. The Company reviews goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are testedannually for impairment annually,in the fourth quarter, or more frequently, whenif events or circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. As part of the impairment evaluation, the Company may elect to perform an assessment of qualitative factors. If this qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset or the reporting unit (for goodwill) is less than its carrying value, a quantitative impairment test to compare the fair value to the carrying value. An impairment charge is recorded if the carrying value exceeds the fair value.amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. OperatingEffective July 1, 2019, arrangements containing leases are included in operating lease right‐of‐use (“ROU”) assets and accrued obligations under operating lease (current and non-current) in the balance sheets. Finance lease ROU assets are included in property and equipment, net and accrued obligations under finance lease (current and non-current) in the balance sheets.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets are classified as a finance lease or an operating lease. A finance lease is a lease in which 1) ownership of the property transfers to the lessee by the end of the lease term; 2) the lease grants the lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise; 3) the lease is for a major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset; 4) The present value of the sum of the lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the lessee that is not already included in the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value; or 5) the underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term. The Company classifies a leaseevaluated as an operating or finance lease when it does not meet any one of these criteria.

ROU assetsat lease inception. For operating leases, the Company recognizes an operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") asset and liabilities are recognizedoperating lease liability at lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As mostWith the exception of the Company’scertain finance leases, do not provide an implicit rate of return is not readily determinable for the Company's leases. For these leases, an incremental borrowing rate is used based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.payments and is calculated based on information available at the lease commencement date.

The incremental borrowing rate is determined using a portfolio approach based on the rate of interest the Company would have to pay to borrow funds on a collateralized basis over a similar term. The Company usesreferences market yield curves which are risk-adjusted to approximate a collateralized rate in the implicit rate when readily determinable. currency of the lease. These rates are updated on a quarterly basis for measurement of new lease obligations.


The ROU assets also include any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. TheCompany’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Companyoption will exercise that option.

For finance leases, lease expenses are the sum of interest on the lease obligations and amortization of the ROU assets. ROU assets are amortized based on the lesser of the lease term and the useful life of the leased asset according to the property and equipment accounting policy. If ownership of the ROU assets transfers to the Company at the end of the lease term or if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, amortization is calculated using the estimated useful life of the leased asset, according to the property and equipment accounting policy. For operating leases, the lease expenses are generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and recorded to general and administrative expenses in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss.

The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient, for each class of underlying asset, except real estate leases, to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease components of the lessee’s contract and account for both components as a single lease component. Additionally, for certain equipment leases, the Company applies a portfolio approach to effectively account for the operating lease ROU assets and liabilities.

The Company has elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a leasebe exercised. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less that doare not recognized on the Company's consolidated statements of financial position. Operating lease assets are presented as right-of-use assets, and corresponding operating lease liabilities are presented within lease liabilities, on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position. Finance lease assets are included in capital assets, and corresponding finance lease liabilities are included within current lease liabilities, on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position.

Convertible notes receivable

Convertible notes receivables include an option to purchase the underlying asset thatvarious investments in which the Company is reasonably certainhas the right, or potential right (see Note 11) to exercise. Short-term leases include real estateconvert the indenture into common stock shares of the investee and vehicles and are not significant in comparison to the Company’s overall lease portfolio. The Company continues to recognize the lease payments associated with these leases as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Investments

Debt securities

Debt securities 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. Debt securitiesThe Company assesses its 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. 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 netloss and comprehensive 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).

EquityLong-term investments

InvestmentsLong-term investments include investments in equity securities of entities over which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest or significant influence and 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 areis less than carrying values. Changes in value are recorded in othernon-operating income net.(loss).

Equity method investments

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 lossesloss 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 Equity method investments on the balance sheets.

The Company assesses investmentsinterest in equity method investments if there is reason to believe an impairment may have occurred including, but not limited to, ongoing operating losses, projected decreases in earnings, increases in the weighted-average cost of capital, or significant business disruptions. The significant assumptions used to estimate fair value include revenue growth and profitability, capital spending, depreciation and taxes, foreign currency exchange rates, and discount rate. By their nature, these projections and assumptions are uncertain. 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 of a temporary or permanent nature and write down the investment to its fair value if it is concluded the impairment is other than temporary.

Assets reclassified from held for sale to held and used

In May 2020, the Company announced its decision to close the High Park Gardens facility in response to its anticipated future product needs and the current economic climate. As a result, the Company adopted an accounting policy for assets held for sale. Assets held for sale are accounted for in accordance with applicable accounting guidance provided in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. The Company classifies its assets as held for sale if, among other criteria, the carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than continued use and a sale is considered probable and within one year. Assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of the carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Assets classified as held for sale are combined and presented separately from the other assets in the balance sheets.

In December 2020, upon the Company's determination to discontinue marketing certain assets held for sale, the assets no longer meet the held for sale criteria and are required to be reclassified as held and used at the lower of adjusted carrying value (carrying value of the assets prior to being classified as held for sale adjusted for any depreciation and/or amortization expense that would have been recognized had the assets been continuously classified as held and used) or the fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. If adjusted carrying value is determined to be lower, a catch-up adjustment for depreciation will be recorded. The depreciation and/or amortization expenses that would have been recognized had the assets been continuously classified as held and used

If fair value is determined to be lower, the Company records a gain or loss included in impairment of assets in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss.financial position.

Fair value measurementsConvertible debentures

The carrying value of the Company’s accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. Debt securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair value based on publicly available market information or other estimates determined by management. Equity investments (excluding equity method investments) are recorded at fair value using quoted market prices or broker or dealer quotations, or using the measurement alternative for equity investments without readily determinable fair values. The fair value for equity investments measured using the measurement alternative is determined based on valuation techniques using the best information available, and may include quoted market prices, market comparables, and discounted cash flow projections. Contingent consideration is measured at fair value on a recurring basis based on discounted cash flow projections.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between marketparticipants at the measurement date. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Convertible notes

The Company accounts for its convertible notes with a cash conversion featuredebentures in accordance with ASC 470-20 Debt with Conversion and Other Options (“ASC 470-20”), which requires the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion, including partial cash settlement, to be separately accounted for in a manner that reflects the issuer’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. The initial proceeds from the sale of convertible notes are allocated between a liability component and an equity component in a manner that reflects interest expense at the rate of similar nonconvertible debt that could have been issued at such time. The equity component represents the excess initial proceeds received over the fair value of the liability component of the notes as of the date of issuance. The resulting debt discount is amortized over the period during which the convertible notes are expected to be outstanding as additional non-cash interest expenses.


Upon repurchase of convertible debt instruments, ASC 470-20 requires the issuer to allocate total settlement consideration, inclusive of transaction costs, amongst the liability and equity components of the instrument based on the fair value of the liability component immediately prior to repurchase. The difference between the settlement consideration allocated to the liability component and the net carrying value of the liability component, including unamortized debt issuance costs, would be recognized as gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss. The remaining settlement consideration allocated to the equity component would be recognized as a reduction of additional paid-in capital in the balance sheets.statements of financial position.

For convertible debentures with an embedded conversion feature that did not meet the equity scope exception from derivative accounting pursuant to ASC 815-15, the Company elected the fair value option under ASC 825 Fair Value Measurements. When the fair value option is elected, the convertible debenture is initially recognized at fair value on the statements of financial position and all subsequent changes in fair value, excluding the impact of the change in fair value related to instrument-specific credit risk are recorded in non-operating income (loss). The changes in fair value related to instrument-specific credit risk is recorded through other comprehensive income (loss). Transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance of the convertible debenture is immediately expensed in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

Warrants

In March 2020, the Company closed on a registered offering including Class 2 common stock, warrants, and pre-funded warrants (refer to Note 16). Warrants are accounted for in accordance with applicable accounting guidance provided in ASC Topic 815 Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (“ASC 815”), as either liabilities or as equity instruments depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement. The Company's warrants areWarrants classified as liabilities and are recorded at fair value. The warrantsvalue and are subject to remeasurementremeasured at each balance sheetreporting date until settlement and any changesettlement. Changes in fair value is recognized as a component of change in fair value of warrant liability in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss. Transaction costs allocated to warrants that are presented as a liability are expensed immediately within other expenses (income)expensed in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss. Warrants classified as equity instruments are initially recognized at fair value and are not subsequently remeasured.

Revenue recognitionFair value measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The carrying values of accounts receivable, prepaids and other current assets, bank indebtedness and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short periods to maturity. The Company calculates the estimated fair value of financial instruments, including convertible notes receivable, long-term investments, warrant liability, contingent consideration, and convertible debentures, using quoted market prices when available. When quoted market prices are not available, fair value is determined based on valuation techniques using the best information available and may include quoted market prices, market comparables, and discounted cash flow projections.

Income taxes

Income taxes are recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss and are comprised of current and deferred taxes. Current tax is recognized in connection with income for tax purposes, unrealized tax benefits and the recovery of tax paid in a prior period and measured using enacted tax rates and laws applicable to the taxation period during which the income for tax purposes arose. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Management makes an assessment of the likelihood that a deferred tax asset will be realized, and a valuation allowance is provided to the extent that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.  

The Company recognizes uncertain income tax positions at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant tax authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. A change in the recognition or measurement of an unrealized tax benefit is reflected in the period during which the change occurs.


Revenue

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

94


Excise taxes The Company generates substantially all of its revenue from the sale ofremitted to tax authorities are government-imposed excise taxes on cannabis and hemp products through contractsbeer. 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 customers. Cannabis and hemp products are sold through various distribution channels. Revenue is recognizedthe liability subsequently reduced when the control of the goods is transferred to the customer, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon delivery to or receipt by the customer, depending on shipping terms.

Sales taxes collected from customers are remitted to the appropriate taxing jurisdictionstax authority.

In addition, amounts disclosed as net revenue are net of excise taxes, sales tax, duty tax, allowances, discounts and are excluded from sales revenue as the Company considers itself a pass-through conduit for collecting and remitting sales taxes. Excise duties that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer are included in revenue. Freight revenues on all product sales, when applicable, are also recognized, on a consistent manner, at a point in time. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant and the period between when the entity transfers the promised good or service to the customer and when the customer pays for that good or service is one year or less.rebates.

The Company considers whether there are other promises in the contracts that are separate performance obligations to which a portion of the transaction price needs to be allocated. In determining the transaction price for the sale of goods, the Company considers the effects of variable consideration and the existence of significant financing components, (if any).if any.

Some contracts for the sale of goods 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 requirements in ASC 606 on constraining estimates of variable consideration are applied to determine the amount of variable consideration that can be included in the transaction price. 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.

The Company may receive short-term advances from its customers. Using the practical expedient in ASC 606, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised good to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less. The Company has not, nor expects to receive long-term advances from customers.

Cost of salesgoods sold

Cost of sales goods sold represents costs directly related to manufacturing and distribution of the Company’s products. Primary costs include raw materials, packaging, direct labor, overhead, shipping and handling, the depreciationamortization of manufacturing equipment and production facilities and excise taxes and tarrifs.tariffs. Manufacturing overhead and related expenses include salaries, wages, employee benefits, utilities, maintenance and property taxes. Cost of salesgoods sold also includes inventory valuation adjustments. The Company recognizes the cost of sales as the associated revenues are recognized.

Stock-based compensation

The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense forhas an omnibus plan which includes issuances of stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and RSUs to employees and non-employees on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based on their grant date fair values.stock appreciation rights (“SARs”). The Company estimates the fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The fair value of RSUs is based on the share price as at date of grant. For stock optionsgrant and RSUs granted in 2018, prior0 SARs were issued to the Company’s initial public offering,date. The share-based compensation expense is based on the fair value of common stockthe stock-based awards at the grant date of grant was determined byand the Board of Directors with assistance from third-party valuation specialists.expense is recognized over the related service period following a straight-line vesting expense schedule. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises these estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Any revisions are recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate.

For performance-based stock options and RSUs, the Company records compensation expense over the estimated service period adjusted for a probability factor of achieving the performance-based milestones. At each reporting date, the Company assesses the probability factor and records compensation expense accordingly, net of estimated forfeitures.

Earnings (loss) per share

Basic Fullyearnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing reported net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. 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 non-forfeitable equity instruments issuedshare 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.

Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to partiesmake judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates and judgements are subject to change based on experience and new information which could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities affecting future periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized prospectively.

Financial statement areas that require significant judgement are as follows:

Long-term investments and convertible notes receivable – The determination of fair value of the Company’s long-term investments and convertible notes receivable at other than employees are measuredinitial cost is subject to certain limitations. Financial information for private companies in which the Company has investments may not be available and, even if available, that information may be limited and/or unreliable.

Use of the valuation approach described below may involve uncertainties and determinations based on the Company’s judgment and any value estimated from these techniques may not be realized or realizable.

Company-specific information is considered when determining whether the fair value of a long-term investment or convertible notes receivable should be adjusted upward or downward at the end of each reporting period. In addition


to company-specific information, the Company will consider trends in general market conditions and the share performance of comparable publicly traded companies when valuing long-term investments and convertible notes receivable.

The fair value of long-term investments and convertible notes receivable may need to be adjusted if:

There has been a significant subsequent equity financing provided by outside investors at a valuation different than the current value of the investee company, in which case the fair value of the investment is set to the value at which that financing took place;

There have been significant corporate, political, or operating events affecting the investee company that, in management’s opinion, have a material impact on the investee company’s prospects and therefore its fair value. In these circumstances, the adjustment to the fair value of the investment will be based on management’s judgment and any value estimated may not be realized or realizable;

The investee company is placed into receivership or bankruptcy;

Based on financial information received from the investee company, it is apparent to the Company that the investee company is unlikely to be able to continue as a going concern;

Important positive or negative management changes by the investee company that the Company’s management believes will have a positive or negative impact on the investee company’s ability to achieve its objectives and build value for shareholders.

Adjustment to the fair value of a long-term investment and convertible notes receivable will be based upon management’s judgment and any value estimated may not be realized or realizable. The resulting values for non-publicly traded investments may differ from values that would be realized if a ready market existed.

Estimated useful lives, impairment considerations and amortization of capital and intangible assets – Amortization of capital and intangible assets is dependent upon estimates of useful lives based on management’s judgment.  

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing require management to make estimates in the impairment testing model. On at least an annual basis, the Company tests whether goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired. Impairment of definite long-lived assets is influenced by judgment in defining a reporting unit and determining the indicators of impairment, and estimates used to measure impairment losses

The reporting unit’s fair value is determined using discounted future cash flow models, which incorporate assumptions regarding future events, specifically future cash flows, growth rates and discount rates.

Stock-based compensation – The fair value of stock-based compensation expenses are estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and rely on a number of assumptions including the fair value of common shares on the grant date, theyrisk-free rate, volatility rate, annual dividend yield, the expected term, and the estimated rate of forfeiture of options granted. Volatility is estimated by using the historical volatility of the Company.


Business combinations – Judgement is used in determining a) whether an acquisition is a business combination or an asset acquisition. We use judgement in applying the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations and estimates to value identifiable assets and liabilities at the acquisition date. Estimates are issuedused to determine cash flow projections, including the period of future benefit, and future growth and discount rates, among other factors. The values allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities assumed affect the amount of goodwill recorded on acquisition. Fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is typically estimated using an income approach, which is based on the present value of future discounted cash flows. Significant estimates in the discounted cash flow model include the discount rate, rate of future revenue growth and profitability of the acquired business and working capital effects. The discount rate considers the relevant risk associated with the business-specific characteristics and the uncertainty related to the ability to achieve projected cash flows. These estimates and the resulting valuations require significant judgment. Management engages third party experts to assist in the valuation of material acquisitions.

Convertible debentures – The fair value of Convertible Debentures where therethe Company had elected the fair value option are determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Assumptions and estimates are made in determining an appropriate conversion price, volatility, dividend yield, and the fair value of common stock. There is no specific performance required byjudgement in assessing what portion of the granteegain or loss, if any, relates to retain those equity instruments. Stock-based payment transactions with non-employeesthe change in the instrument-specific credit risk.

Warrant liability – The fair value of the warrant liability is measured using a Black Scholes pricing model. Assumptions and estimates are measured atmade in determining an appropriate risk-free interest rate, volatility, term, dividend yield, discount due to exercise restrictions, and the fair value of common stock. Any significant adjustments to the unobservable inputs would have a direct impact on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Where fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments are granted to parties other than employees in exchange for notes or financing receivable, the note or receivable is presented in additional paid-in capital on the balance sheets.warrant liability.

Income taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Management makes an assessment of the likelihood that the resulting deferred tax assets will be realized. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company recognizes uncertain income tax positions at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which judgment occurs.

3. Assets Reclassified from Held for Sale to Held and Used

On May 26, 2020, the Company announced its decision to close its High Park Gardens Facility, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company based in Leamington, Ontario in response to its anticipated future product needs and the current economic climate. At that time, the Company concluded that the assets attributable to High Park Gardens met the criteria for classification as assets held for sale and that the closure did not represent a strategic shift that would have a majorany impact on the Company’s business plan or its primary markets, and therefore did not qualify as a discontinued operation.our consolidated financial statements.

As a result of the Company’s decision to close this facility, the Company recognized impairment charges of $25,051 recorded to impairment of assets within the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss to adjust the fair value, less costs to sell, of the assets classified as held for sale. This included impairment charges of $13,616 relating to land and buildings, $10,239 relating to the write-down to nil of its cultivation license (refer to Note 11) and $1,196 relating to foreign currency translation adjustments.

On December 16, 2020, the Company made a decision to discontinue marketing the High Park Gardens Facility and to retain the disposal group for future operations. The Company reclassified the assets to held and used measured at fair value in the Company’s cannabis segment. When the Company reclassified the assets of the High Park Gardens facility to held and used, the Company recognized additional impairment charges of $2,875 relating to land and buildings recorded to impairment of assets within the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss to adjust to the fair values of the respective assets.

NaN assets were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

4. ABG Profit Participation Arrangement

On January 24, 2020, the Company entered into (i) an Amended and Restated Profit Participation Agreement (the “A&R Profit Participation Agreement”) with ABG, which amended and restated in its entirety the Profit Participation Agreement, dated January 14, 2019, and (ii) the First Amendment to Payment Agreement with ABG (the “Payment Agreement Amendment”), which amends the Payment Agreement, dated January 14, 2019. The Company and ABG agreed that Tilray no longer has any obligation to pay the additional consideration with an aggregate value of $83,333 in cash or in shares of Class 2 common stock. In addition, the Company is not entitled to any guaranteed minimum participation rights and beginning January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2028, the Company agreed that it is not entitled to any participation rights until such participation rights with respect to each contract year exceeds $10,000, and in the event the participation rights thresholds are achieved, the Company is entitled to the full 49% participation rights.

97

The Company has determined that Fluent is a VIE, but the Company is not the primary beneficiary as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. Accordingly, the Company does not consolidate the financial statements of Fluent and accounts for this investment using the equity method of accounting. At the date of initial investment there was no difference in the carrying value of the investment and the proportional interest in the underlying equity in the net assets of Fluent. At December 31, 2020 the maximum exposure to loss is limited to the Company’s equity investment in the joint venture.

The Company has made capital contributions of $3,764 (2019 - $12,000, 2018 - $0) to Fluent during the year ended December 31, 2020.

In connection with the Company’s closure of its High Park Gardens facility, the Company determined that the fair value of the indefinite-lived cultivation license was below carrying value. As a result, the Company incurred non-cash impairment charges of $10,239, representing the full net book value of the cultivation license, presented in impairment of assets in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss (refer to Note 3).

In connection with the decreased demand projections of CBD products in the United States resulting in a reduced estimate of future cash flows, during the first quarter of 2020 the Company determined that the fair value of indefinite-lived rights under the ABG Profit Participation Arrangement and definite-lived trademarks under the Trademark and License Agreement with ABG for the use of the Prince trademark (“ABG Prince Agreement”) were below the carrying value. As a result, the Company incurred non-cash impairment charges of $16,765 and $6,063 representing the full net book values of the intangible assets relating to the ABG Profit Participation Agreement and ABG Prince Agreement respectively, presented in impairment of assets in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss (refer to Note 4). In June 2020, the Company completed the separation from Smith & Sinclair and recognized additional non-cash impairment charges of $3,320 presented in impairment of assets in the statement of net loss and comprehensive loss, of which $2,126 related to other CBD trademarks and patents.

Amortization expenses for intangibles was $11,002, $9,824, and $374 in 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. Expected future amortization expenses for intangible assets as of December 31, 2020 are as follows: 2021 – $10,222; 2022 – $9,744; 2023 - $9,500; 2024 - $9,493, 2025 – $9,469; and thereafter – $81,427.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when events or circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. At December 31, 2020, the Company determined the hemp reporting unit, representing $136,332 of the $166,915 total goodwill, was at risk of having a carrying value exceeding the fair value. As a result, a quantitative test was performed to determine if impairment exists. In performing the Company’s impairment analysis at December 31, 2020, the fair value of the hemp reporting unit was determined primarily by discounting estimated future cash flow, which were determined based on revenue and expense growth assumptions ranging from 16% to 40%, at a weighted average cost of capital (discount rate) ranging from 10% to 12%. The discounted future cash flow model also makes the key assumption that CBD revenue will commence to build in the third quarter of 2021. The fair value of the hemp reporting unit was determined to exceed the carrying value by

103


$117,500, or 38%, and 0 impairment was recorded. A relatively small change in the underlying assumptions, including a 1% change in the weighted average cost of capital, continued lack of clarity from the Food and Drug Administration regarding approval of CBD or the financial performance of the reporting unit in future years may cause a change in the results of the impairment assessment in future periods and, as such, could result in an impairment of goodwill.

14. Convertible Notes

In October 2018 the Company issued convertible notes with a face value of $475,000. The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $460,134, after deducting commissions and other fees incurred.

The convertible notes bear interest at a rate of 5.00% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2019. Additional interest may accrue on the convertible notes in specified circumstances. The convertible notes will mature on October 1, 2023, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. There are 0 principal payments required over the five year term of the convertible notes, except in the case of redemption or events of defaults.

The convertible notes are governed by an Indenture between the Company, as issuer, and GLAS Trust Company LLC, as trustee. The convertible notes are the Company’s general unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the notes; equal in right of payment with any of the Company’s unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables but excluding intercompany obligations) of the Company’s current or future subsidiaries.

104


The Indenture includes customary covenants and sets forth certain events of default after which the convertible notes may be declared immediately due and payable, including certain types of bankruptcy or insolvency involving the Company.

To the extent the Company so elects, the sole remedy for an event of default relating to certain failures by the Company to comply with certain reporting covenants in the Indenture will, for the first 365 days after such event of default, consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest on the notes. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s election (the “cash conversion option”). The initial conversion rate for the convertible notes is 5.9735 shares of common stock per one thousand dollar principal amount of notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $167.41 per share of common stock, which represents approximately 1,660 shares of common stock, based on the $277,857 aggregate principal amount of convertible notes outstanding as of December 31, 2020. Throughout the term of the convertible notes, the conversion rate may be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events.

Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding April 1, 2023, the convertible notes will be convertible only under the specified circumstances. On or after April 1, 2023 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their convertible notes, in multiples of one thousand dollar principal amount, at the option of the holder regardless of the forementioned circumstances.

As a result of the cash conversion option, the Company separately accounts for the value of the embedded conversion option as a component of equity. The value of the embedded conversion option is the residual of the net proceeds of the issuance, less the estimated fair value of the debt without the conversion feature, and amounted to $57,595 at issuance. The estimated fair value of the debt without the conversion feature, was determined using the expected cash flows of the convertible notes discounted by the estimated interest rate of similar nonconvertible debt; the debt discount is being amortized as additional non-cash interest expenses over the term of the convertible notes using the interest method with an effective interest rate of 8% per annum. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.

The Company may from time to time seek to retire or purchase its convertible notes, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such purchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, the company's liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved in any such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may be material. During November 2020, the Company entered into 2 privately negotiated exchange agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”) with certain holders of our convertible notes. Under the terms of the Exchange Agreements, the holders agreed to exchange an aggregate principal amount of approximately $197,143 of convertible notes plus accrued interest held by them in exchange for an aggregate of 17,339,577 shares of our Class 2 common stock. Effectively, we agreed to repurchase a portion of our Notes at discounts of 36% and 42%, respectively, to their face value, using shares issued at our most recent closing market price on November 20, 2020 and November 23, 2020 (which is equivalent to a conversion price of $7.36 per share and $6.68 per share, respectively).

In accordance with ASC 470-20, Convertible Debt, the Company utilized the inducement method of accounting to record the early retirement of the convertible debt in the two-step approach for induced conversions resulting in a net gain on debt conversion of $61,118 which the Company recorded on its Statement of Net Loss and Comprehensive Loss. In the first step, we assessed a loss on extinguishment using the fair value of the converted debt, less the fair value of the debt under the original terms, resulting in a loss on induced conversion of $114,891. In the second step, we assessed a gain on conversion, as the fair value of the converted debt given up at inducement exceeded the fair value of the shares issued to the converted holders resulting in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $176,009.

As of December 31, 2020, the convertible notes are not yet convertible. The convertible notes will become convertible upon the satisfaction of the above circumstances. In accounting for the transaction costs related to the issuance of the convertible notes, the Company allocated the total amount of offering costs incurred to the debt and equity components based on their relative values. Transaction costs attributable to the convertible notes totaling $13,467, are being amortized as non-cash interest expenses over the term of the convertible notes, and offering costs attributable to the equity component, totaling $1,398, were recorded within stockholders’ equity (deficit). The remaining unamortized debt discount related to the convertible notes of $15,229 as of December 31, 2020 will be accreted over the remaining term of the convertible notes, which is approximately 33 months.

105


As at December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all the covenants set forth under the Indenture.

15. Senior Facility

On February 28, 2020, High Park Holdings Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Borrower”) entered into a credit agreement, denominated in Canadian dollars (“C$”), for a senior secured credit facility in a maximum aggregate principal amount of $59,600 (C$79,800) (the “Senior Facility”). An aggregate principal amount equal to $49,700 (C$66,500) was drawn on February 28, 2020 (the “Closing Date Draw”) and the Company submitted an irrevocable 30 day notice on May 4, 2020 to draw an additional $9,900 (C$13,300) (the “Additional Draw”).

On June 5, 2020, as a result of COVID-19 related financial markets conditions that affected the lender of the Senior Facility, and not because of any material changes to the business of Tilray or its subsidiaries, the lender requested that Tilray withdraw its outstanding request for the Additional Draw of $9,900 (C$13,300) under the Senior Facility. In exchange for the Company’s accommodation of the lender’s request to withdraw its funding request, the lender agreed to enter into the First Amendment of the Senior Facility (the “Amendment”). The Amendment provides for interest-only payments for the remainder of its term with all outstanding principal payments due at February 28, 2022. This will result in an aggregate balance of $47,355 (C$64,283) due at February 28, 2022. Additionally, and at such time as the lender’s business may allow, the lender may make the additional proceeds of $9,900 (C$13,300) available, at its sole discretion.

The Senior Facility bears interest on the outstanding principal balance at an annual rate equal to the Canadian prime rate plus 8.05%, calculated based on the daily outstanding balance of the Senior Facility calculated and compounded monthly in arrears and with no deemed reinvestment of monthly payments. Interest is due monthly throughout the term. The Company has the option to voluntarily prepay, without penalty, the outstanding amounts, in full or in part, at any time starting 6 months from the closing date subsequent to providing 75 days’ notice.

Transaction costs incurred on the Closing Date Draw were $3,306 (C$4,425). There were no fees incurred associated with the Amendment. Transaction costs are deferred and amortized as a component of interest expense over the estimated term using the effective interest rate method. On June 29, 2020, the lender notified the Company that it had exercised its unilateral right to syndicate $19,153 (C$26,000) of the Company’s Senior Facility in the aggregate principal amount of $59,600 (C$79,800). The Senior Facility’s terms otherwise remain unchanged.

The Senior Facility has first priority claims on all North American assets of the Company and contains certain affirmative and negative covenants. The operational covenant includes a minimum unrestricted cash threshold of $29,466 (C$40,000) in order for the Company to make additional capital expenditures and investments. The Senior Facility is collateralized against all real and personal property owned, leased and operated by the Company in North America, and any and all other property of the Company now existing and acquired in North America after the closing date. As of December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all covenants set forth under the Senior Facility.

16. Registered Offering and Warrants

On March 17, 2020, the Company closed a registered offering of 7,250,000 shares of the Company’s Class 2 common stock for $4.76 per share with an equal number of accompanying warrants and 11,750,000 pre-funded warrants for $4.7599 (the “pre-funded warrants”) with an equal number of accompanying warrants. The pre-funded warrants had an exercise price per share of Class 2 common stock of $0.0001 and were exercisable at any time after their original issuance and expire on the fifth anniversary date of issuance. As of December 31, 2020, all pre-funded warrants have been exercised. The 19,000,000 total accompanying warrants (the “warrants”) allow the holders to purchase an aggregate of 19,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class 2 common stock. The warrants have an exercise price per share of Class 2 common stock of $5.95 and are exercisable at any time after the first trading day following the six-month anniversary of the issuance and will expire on the fifth anniversary date from the date they become exercisable. As of December 31, 2020, the warrants remain outstanding.

The total gross proceeds of the registered offering were $90,439, of which $21,025 was allocated to the Class 2 common stock at the offering close and $69,414 was allocated to the warrant liability. Issuance costs incurred on the registered offering were $5,150, of which $3,953 was recorded to other expenses (income) in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss and $1,197 was allocated to the Class 2 common stock and recorded net against the allocated gross proceeds in additional paid-in-capital.

The warrants contain anti-dilution price protection features, which adjust the exercise price of the warrants if the Company subsequently issues Class 2 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. There were no triggering events during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company received stockholder approval of the anti-dilution price protection feature at the Company’s Annual Meeting on May 28, 2020.

The Company's 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 effect 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 Class 2 common stock due to be issued multiplied by any trading price of the Class 2 common stock between the exercise date and the share delivery date, as selected by the holder. Alternatively, the Company may deliver registered Class 2 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.

Pre-funded warrants and warrants outstanding at December 31, 2020, and related activity for the year ended December 31, 2020 is as follows (reflects the number of shares of Class 2 common stock as if the warrants were converted to Class 2 common stock):

On September 30, 2020, 13,159,762 shares of Class 1 common stock, constituting all of the shares of Class 1 common stock that were issued and outstanding, were automatically converted into shares of Class 2 common stock, as the Class 1 common stock ceased to represent at least 10% of the outstanding common stock. Prior to the conversion, the Company had authorized 250,000,000 shares of Class 1 common stock. Upon conversion, 16,666,667 were retired, leaving 233,333,333 shares authorized, par value $0.0001 per share. There are 0 shares of Class 1 common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2020.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company issued 16,131,487 shares of Class 2 common stock for gross proceeds of $127,041, under the at-the-market equity offering. Transaction costs of $2,541 were recorded net against the allocated gross proceeds in additional paid-in-capital. The warrants’ anti-dilution price protection features allow, for the period the warrants are outstanding, the Company to only issue up to $20,000 in aggregate gross proceeds under the Company’s at-the-market offering program at prices less than the exercise price of the warrants, and in no event more than $6,000 per quarter, at prices below the exercise price of the warrants, without triggering the warrant’s anti-dilution price protection features.

The Company’s future ability to pay cash dividends on Class 2 common stock is limited by the terms of the Senior Facility and cannot be paid without the consent of the lender.

On March 17, 2020, the Company closed the registered offering, issuing shares of the Company’s Class 2 common stock along with pre-funded warrants and warrants (refer to Note 16).

18. Stock-Based Compensation

Original Stock Option Plan

Certain employees and other service providers of the Company participate in the equity-based compensation plan of Privateer Holdings, Inc (the “Original Plan”) under the terms and valuation method detailed below. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the total stock-based compensation expenses associated with the

108


Original Plan was $702 (December 31, 2019 – $469 and 2018 – $359). There were 0 new grants under the Original Plan for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The fair value of each stock option to employees granted under the Original Plan was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

The expected life of the stock options represented the period of time stock options were expected to be outstanding and was estimated considering vesting terms and employees’ historical exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior. Expected volatility was based on historical volatilities of public companies operating in a similar industry to Privateer Holdings. The risk-free rate is based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected dividend yield was determined based on the stock option’s exercise price and expected annual dividend rate at the time of grant.

The total intrinsic values of stock options exercised in 2020 and 2019 were $5,910 and $1,686, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the total remaining unrecognized compensation expenses related to non-vested stock options amounted to $248 (2019 - $921), which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining requisite service period of approximately 0.7 years (2019 – 0.8 years). The total fair values of stock options vested in 2020 and 2019 were $85 and $2,789, respectively.

New Stock Option and Restricted Stock Unit Plan

The Company adopted the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 EIP”) as amended and approved by stockholders in May 2018 under the terms and valuation methods detailed in our Annual Financial Statements. The 2018 EIP authorizes the award of stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) to employees, including officers, non-employee directors and consultants and the employees and consultants of our affiliates. Shares subject to awards granted under the 2018 EIP that expire or terminate without being exercised in full, or that are paid out in cash rather than in shares, do not reduce the number of shares available for issuance under the 2018 EIP. Additionally, shares become available for future grant under the 2018 EIP if they were issued under the 2018 EIP and if the Company repurchases them or they are forfeited. This includes shares used to pay the exercise price of an award or to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to an award. The maximum number of shares of common stock subject to stock awards granted under the 2018 EIP or otherwise during any one calendar year to any non-employee director, taken together with any cash fees paid by the Company to such non-employee director during such calendar year for service on the Board of Directors, will not exceed 500 dollars in total value, calculating the value of any such stock awards based on the grant date fair value of such stock awards for financial reporting purposes, or, with respect to the calendar year in which a nonemployee director is first appointed or elected to our Board of Directors, 1 million dollars.

109


Stock options represent the right to purchase shares of our Class 2 common stock on the date of exercise at a stated exercise price. The exercise price of a stock option generally must be at least equal to the fair market value of our shares of Class 2 common stock on the date of grant. The Company’s compensation committee may provide for stock options to be exercised only as they vest or to be immediately exercisable with any shares issued on exercise being subject to the Company’s right of repurchase that lapses as the shares vest. The maximum term of stock options granted under the 2018 EIP is ten years.

RSUs represent a right to receive Class 2 common stock or their cash equivalent for each RSU that vests, which vesting may be based on time or achievement of performance conditions. Unless otherwise determined by our compensation committee at the time of grant, vesting will cease on the date the participant no longer provides services to the Company and unvested shares will be forfeited. If an RSU has not been forfeited, then on the date specified in the RSUs, the Company will deliver to the holder a number of whole shares of Class 2 common stock, cash or a combination of shares of our Class 2 common stock and cash. Additionally, dividend equivalents may be credited in respect of shares covered by the RSUs. Any additional shares covered by the RSU credited by reason of such dividend equivalents will be subject to all of the same terms and conditions of the underlying RSU agreement to which they relate. The RSUs generally vest over a 3-or-4 year period. The fair value of RSUs are based on the share price as at date of grant.

SARs provide for a payment, or payments, in cash or shares of Class 2 common stock to the holder based upon the difference between the fair market value of shares of our Class 2 common stock on the date of exercise and the stated exercise price. The maximum term of SARs granted under the 2018 EIP is ten years. NaN SARs were issued to date.

The 2018 EIP permits the grant of performance-based stock and cash awards. The performance goals may be based on company-wide performance or performance of one or more business units, divisions, affiliates or business segments and may be either absolute or relative to the performance of one or more comparable companies or the performance of one or more relevant indices. The length of any performance period, the performance goals to be achieved during the performance period, and the measure of whether and to what degree such performance goals have been attained will be conclusively determined by the Board of Directors.

As of January 1, 2020, 17,037,421 shares of Class 2 common stock had been reserved for issuance under the 2018 EIP. The number of shares of Class 2 common stock reserved for issuance under the 2018 EIP will automatically increase on January 1 of each calendar year, for a period of not more than ten years, starting on January 1, 2019 and ending on and including January 1, 2027, in an amount equal to 4% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding on December 31 of the prior calendar year, or a lesser number of shares determined by our Board of Directors. The shares reserved include only the outstanding shares related to stock options and RSUs, and excludes stock options outstanding under the Original Plan.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the total stock-based compensation expenses associated with the 2018 EIP was $29,014 (2019 – $31,373 and 2018 – $20,629).

The fair value of each stock option granted to employees under the 2018 EIP is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

The expected life of the award is estimated using the simplified method since the Company does not have adequate historical exercise data to estimate the expected term. Expected volatility is based on historical volatilities of public companies operating in a similar industry to the Company. A forfeiture rate is estimated at the time of grant to reflect the amount of awards that are granted but are expected to be forfeited by the award holder prior to vesting. The estimated forfeiture rate applied to these amounts is derived from management’s estimate of the future stock option forfeiture behavior over the expected life of the awards. The risk-free rate is based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

In 2018, the Company signed an agreement with Rose Lifescience Inc. (“Rose”) for distribution and marketing of product in Quebec in exchange for a minimum fee of $384 per annum for an initial term of five years, and agreed to purchase the lesser of 2,000 Kg per year or 40% of the production of Cannabis at a rate of 115% of cost of goods sold from the Rose facility. In September 2020, the Company signed an amendment to this agreement under which the Company is no longer obligated to purchase product from Rose nor pay the minimum fee. Instead, the amendment requires the Company to make approximately 40,000 kilograms equivalent Tilray product available in the province of Quebec through 2023 for Rose for sale and pay Rose a compensation fee based on net revenue sold in Quebec for an estimated compensation fee of approximately $8.0 million through 2023. As there is no firm commission fee commitment, it is excluded from the above schedule. Compensation fee expense is recorded as incurred.

In 2018, the Company entered into a Product and Trademark License Agreement with Docklight LLC, a related party (refer to Note 25), to use certain intellectual property rights in exchange for payment of royalty depending upon specified percentage of licensed product net sales. As the purchase commitment is an undeterminable variable amount, it is excluded from the above schedule.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was enacted and signed into law in the U.S.  The CARES Act, among other things, permits U.S. net operating loss ("NOL") carryovers and carrybacks to offset 100% of U.S. taxable income for taxable years beginning before 2021.  The CARES Act also contains modifications on the limitation of business interest for tax years beginning in 2019 and 2020. The modifications to Section 163(j) increase the allowable business interest deduction from 30% of adjusted taxable income to 50% of adjusted taxable income.  The CARES Act results in increasing the allowable interest expense and NOL carryover deductions in 2020.

 


The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (2017 Tax Act) was enacted on December 22, 2017 and reduced the U.S. statutory federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. The Tax Act also contains additional provisions that are effective for the company in 2018, including a new tax on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”). Under U.S. GAAP, we are allowed to make an accounting policy choice to either (i) treat taxes due on future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred (the "period cost method"); or (ii) factor in such amounts into the measurement of our deferred taxes (the "deferred method"). The Company has made a policy decision to record GILTI tax as a current-period expense when incurred.

Effective January 1, 2018,Deferred income taxes have not been recorded on the United States tax law providesbasis differences for investments in consolidated subsidiaries as these basis differences are indefinitely reinvested or will reverse in a deduction fornon-taxable manner.  Quantification of the foreign-source portion of dividends received from specified foreign corporations. As such, the Company does not maintain an indefinite reinvestment assertion on unremitted foreign earnings and has recorded a deferred income tax liability, as necessary, forif any, estimated foreign, federal, or state tax liabilities associated with a future repatriation of foreign earnings.indefinitely reinvested basis differences is not practicable.  Deferred income taxes have been recorded on the basis differences for investments in nonconsolidated entities.  

At DecemberMay 31, 2020,2022, the Company had United States net operating loss carryforwardscarry-forwards of approximately $135,817$370,800 that can be carried forward indefinitely and generally limited in annual use to 80% of the current year taxable income starting 2021. The Company has Canadian net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $258,790$449,500 that can be carried forward 20 years and begin to expire in 2028. Management believes that it is more-likely-than-not that the benefit from certain United States and foreign net operating loss carryforwardscarry-forwards will not be realized. In recognition of this risk, the Company has provided a valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets relating to these carryforwards.carry-forwards. The net change in the total valuation allowance was an increase of $65,318$88,131 and $66,355$261,357 for the years ended DecemberMay 31, 20202022 and 2019,2021, respectively.

The Company recognizes the financial statement impact of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more-likely-than-not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest impact that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits (“GUTB”) was $0, $86,$0, and $0 as of DecemberMay 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 2019 and 2018 respectively. The $86 decrease of GUTB in 2020 was attributable to unrecognized tax benefits as a result of tax positions taken during a prior period. The $86 increase of GUTB in 2019 was attributable to unrecognized tax benefits as a result of tax positions taken during a prior period. There is a reasonable possibility that the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits will change within twelve months due to audit settlements or the expiration of statute of limitations, but the Company does not expect the change to be material to the financial statements.

The Company recognizes interest and, if applicable, penalties for any uncertain tax positions. Interest and penalties are recorded as a component of income tax expenses. In the years ended DecemberMay 31, 2020, 20192022, 2021 and 2018,2020, the Company recorded approximately $0, $0 and $0, respectively, of interest and penalty expenses related to uncertain tax positions. As of December 31,2020,May 31, 2022, and 2019,2021, the Company had a cumulative balance of accrued interest and penalties on unrecognized tax positions of $0 and $0, respectively.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to United States federal income tax as well as the income tax of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is not currently under audit in any jurisdiction for any period. Major jurisdictions where there are wholly owned subsidiaries of Tilray Brands, Inc. which require income tax filings include the Canada, Portugal, Germany, and Australia.

The APHA 24 convertible debentures, were entered into in April 2019, in the principal amount of $350,000, bears interest at a rate of 5.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, and matures on June 1, 2024, unless earlier converted. The APHA 24 is an unsecured obligation and ranks senior in right of payment to all indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to APHA 24. The APHA 24


will rank equal in right of payment with all liabilities that are not subordinated. The APHA 24 is effectively junior to any secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.

Holders of the APHA 24 may convert all or any portion of their Notes, in multiples of one thousand dollars principal amount, at their option at any time between December 1, 2023 to the maturity date. The initial conversion rate for the APHA 24 will be 89.31162364 shares of common stock per one thousand dollars principal amount of Notes, which will be settled in cash, common shares of Aphria or a combination thereof, at Tilray’s election. This is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $11.20 per common share, subject to adjustments in certain events. In addition, holders of the APHA 24 may convert all or any portion of their Notes, in multiples of one thousand dollars principal amount, at their option at any time preceding December 1, 2023, if any of the following:

(a)

the last reported sales price of the common shares for at least 20 trading days during a period of 30 consecutive trading days immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;

(b)

during the five-business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per one thousand dollars principal amount of the APHA 24 for each trading day of the measurement period is less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common shares and the conversion rate on each such trading day;

(c)

the Company calls any or all of the APHA 24 for redemption or;

(d)

upon occurrence of specified corporate event.

The Company may not redeem the APHA 24 prior to June 6, 2022, except upon the occurrence of certain changes in tax laws. On or after June 6, 2022, the Company may redeem for cash all or part of the APHA 24, at its option, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common shares has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on and including trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption. The redemption of the APHA 24 will be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

The Company elected the fair value option under ASC 825 Fair Value Measurements for the APHA 24. The APHA 24 was initially recognized at fair value on the balance sheet.

The TLRY 23 bears interest at a rate of 5.00% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year. Additional interest may accrue on the TLRY 23 in specified circumstances. The TLRY 23 will mature on October 1, 2023, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. There are 0 principal payments required over the five-year term of the TLRY 23, except in the case of redemption or events of defaults.


The TLRY 23 is an unsecured obligation and ranks senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the TLRY 23; equal in right of payment with any of the Company’s unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables but excluding intercompany obligations) of the Company’s current or future subsidiaries.

The TLRY 23 includes customary covenants and sets forth certain events of default after which the convertible notes may be declared immediately due and payable, including certain types of bankruptcy or insolvency involving the Company. To the extent the Company so elects, the sole remedy for an event of default relating to certain failures by the Company to comply with certain reporting covenants, for the first 365 days after such event of default, consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest on the notes. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s election (the “cash conversion option”). The initial conversion rate for the convertible notes is 5.9735 shares of common stock per one thousand dollar principal amount of notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $167.41 per share of common stock, which represents approximately 1,659,737 shares of common stock, based on the $277,856 aggregate principal amount of convertible notes outstanding as of May 31, 2022 (2021 - $nil). Throughout the term of the TLRY 23, the conversion rate may be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events.

Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding April 1, 2023, the TLRY 23 will be convertible only under the specified circumstances. On or after April 1, 2023 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their TLRY 23, in multiples of one thousand dollars principal amount, at the option of the holder regardless of the aforementioned circumstances.

The Company may from time to time seek to retire or purchase its TLRY 23, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such purchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, the company's liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. During the year, the Company purchased $88,026 of its TLRY 23.

As of May 31, 2022, the TLRY 23 is not yet convertible. The convertible notes will become convertible upon the satisfaction of the above circumstances. The remaining unamortized debt discount related to the convertible notes as of May 31, 2022 will be accreted over the remaining term of the TLRY 23, which is approximately 16 months.

As of May 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all the covenants set forth under the TLRY 23.

During the year ended May 31, 2022, the Company recognized total interest expense of $18,860 (2021 – $1,585), which included contractual interest coupon of $14,684 (2021 - $1,158) and amortization of the discount of $4,176 (2021 - $427).

Warrants

During the year 5,994,651 warrants expired with exercise prices between $3.08 and $9.08. As of May 31, 2022, there are 6,209,000 warrants outstanding, 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 year ended May 31, 2022, the Company issued shares which triggered the anti-dilution price protection feature lowering the exercise price to $4.30. 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 warrant liability at May 31, 2022 at $2.30 per warrant using the Black Scholes pricing model (Level 3) with the following assumptions: Risk-free interest rate of 2.89%, expected volatility of 70%, expected term of 3.3 years, strike price of $4.30 and fair value of common stock of $4.49.

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

Stock-based compensation

For the year ended May 31, 2022, the total stock-based compensation expense was $35,994 (2021 - $17,351 and 2020- $18,079). The Company operates multiple stock-based award plans as follows:

Tilray 2018 Equity Incentive Plan and Original Plan

The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (EIP) authorizes the award of stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) to employees, including officers, non-employee directors and consultants and the employees and consultants of our affiliates. Shares subject to awards granted under the EIP that expire or terminate without being exercised in full, or that are paid out in cash rather than in shares, do not reduce the number of shares available for issuance under the EIP. Additionally, shares become available for future grant under the EIP if they were issued under the EIP and if the Company repurchases them or they are forfeited. This includes shares used to pay the exercise price of an award or to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to an award. The maximum number of shares of common stock subject to stock awards granted under the EIP or otherwise during any one calendar year to any non-employee director, taken together with any cash fees paid by the Company to such non-employee director during such calendar year for service on the Board of Directors, will not exceed 500 dollars in total value, calculating the value of any such stock awards based on the grant date fair value of such stock awards for financial reporting purposes, or, with respect to the calendar year in which a nonemployee director is first appointed or elected to our Board of Directors, 1 million dollars.


Stock options represent the right to purchase shares of our common stock on the date of exercise at a stated exercise price. The exercise price of a stock option generally must be at least equal to the fair market value of our shares of common stock on the date of grant. The Company’s compensation committee may provide for stock options to be exercised only as they vest or to be immediately exercisable with any shares issued on exercise being subject to the Company’s right of repurchase that lapses as the shares vest. The maximum term of stock options granted under the EIP is ten years.

RSUs represent a right to receive common stock or their cash equivalent for each RSU that vests, which vesting may be based on time or achievement of performance conditions. Unless otherwise determined by our compensation committee at the time of grant, vesting will cease on the date the participant no longer provides services to the Company and unvested shares will be forfeited. If an RSU has not been forfeited, then on the date specified in the RSUs, the Company will deliver to the holder a number of whole shares of common stock, cash or a combination of shares of our common stock and cash. Additionally, dividend equivalents may be credited in respect of shares covered by the RSUs. Any additional shares covered by the RSU credited by reason of such dividend equivalents will be subject to all of the same terms and conditions of the underlying RSU agreement to which they relate. The RSUs generally vest over a 3-or-4 year period. The fair value of RSUs are based on the share price as at date of grant.

SARs provide for a payment, or payments, in cash or shares of common stock to the holder based upon the difference between the fair market value of shares of our common stock on the date of exercise and the stated exercise price. The maximum term of SARs granted under the EIP is ten years. NaN SARs were issued to date.

The EIP permits the grant of performance-based stock and cash awards. The performance goals may be based on company-wide performance or performance of one or more business units, divisions, affiliates or business segments and may be either absolute or relative to the performance of one or more comparable companies or the performance of one or more relevant indices. The length of any performance period, the performance goals to be achieved during the performance period, and the measure of whether and to what degree such performance goals have been attained will be conclusively determined by the Board of Directors.

As of April 30, 2021, 9,806,851 shares of common stock had been reserved for issuance under the EIP. The number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2018 EIP will automatically increase on January 1 of each calendar year, for a period of not more than ten years, starting on January 1, 2019 and ending on and including January 1, 2027, in an amount equal to 4% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding on December 31 of the prior calendar year, or a lesser number of shares determined by our Board of Directors. The shares reserved include only the outstanding shares related to stock options and RSUs and excludes stock options outstanding under the Original Plan.

Certain employees and other service providers of the Company participate in the equity-based compensation plan of Privateer Holdings, Inc (the “Original Plan”) under the terms and valuation method detailed below. The expected life of the stock options represented the period of time stock options were expected to be outstanding and was estimated considering vesting terms and employees’ historical exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior. Expected volatility was based on historical volatilities of public companies operating in a similar industry to Privateer Holdings. The risk-free rate is based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected dividend yield was determined based on the stock option’s exercise price and expected annual dividend rate at the time of grant.


NaN stock options were granted under the EIP during the year ended May 31, 2022 and 2021. For the year ended May 31, 2020, the fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: risk-free rate for 2.10% on the date of grant; expected life of 8.97 years; volatility of 61.33% based on comparable companies; dividend yield of $nil; and, the exercise price of the respective option. The expected life of the award is estimated using the simplified method since the Company does not have adequate historical exercise data to estimate the expected term.

Stock-based activity under the EIP and Original Plan for the year ended May 31, 2022 is as follows:

Predecessor Plan - Aphria

Aphria had established the Aphria Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Predecessor Plan”). Following stockholder approval of the EIP, no new awards have been granted under the Predecessor Plan. In connection with the reverse acquisition Aphria stock options, Aphria RSUs and DSUs issued under the Predecessor Plan were exchanged for


options, RSUs under the EIP. As a result of the modification, all grantees were affected, and the Company recognized nil incremental compensation cost.

The fair value of each stock option granted under the Predecessor Plan is estimated on grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: risk-free rate for 2021 of 0.39% and 2020 of 1.20 – 1.56% on the date of grant; expected life for 2021 of 5 years and 2020 of 5 years; volatility for 2021 of 70% and 2020 of 70%) based on comparable companies; forfeiture rate for 2021 of 35% and 2020 of  20%; dividend yield for 2021 of $nil and 2020 of $nil); and, the exercise price of the respective option. The expected life of the award is estimated using the simplified method since the Company does not have adequate historical exercise data to estimate the expected term.

Stock option, RSU and DSU activity for the Company under the Predecessor Plan is as follows:

Financial risk management and financial instruments

Financial instruments

The Company has classified its financial instruments as described in Note 3 Significant accounting policies.  

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.

The Company’s long-term debt of $17,839 (2021 - $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 Government of Canada securities of similar duration. In each period thereafter, the incremental premium is held constant while the Government of Canada security is based on the then current market value to derive the discount rate.

Fair value hierarchy

Financial instruments recorded at fair value are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in making the measurements. Cash and cash equivalents are Level 1. The hierarchy is summarized as follows:

Level 1

Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

Level 2

Inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) from observable market data

Level 3

Inputs for assets and liabilities not based upon observable market data


The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of May 31, 2022 and 2021 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

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 long-term investments recorded at fair value: The estimated fair value is determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model, probability of legalization and is classified as Level 3.

Warrantliability: 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.

APHA 24: This instrument is held at fair value. The estimated fair value is determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model and is classified as Level 3.

Contingentconsideration: The contingent consideration from the acquisition of SweetWater is determined by discounting future expected cash outflows at a discount rate of 5% and probability of achievement of 25%. The unobservable inputs into the future expected cash outflows are classified as Level 3.

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

Equity Price Risks

(e)

Equity price risks

As of DecemberMay 31, 2020, we2022, the Company held long-term equity investments at fair value and equity investments under the measurement alternative. These investment in equities were acquired as part of our strategic transactions. Accordingly, the changes in fair values of investment in equities measured at fair value or under the measurement alternative are recognized through other expense (income), netgain (loss) on long-term investment in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss. Based on the fair value of investment in equities held as of DecemberMay 31, 2020,2022, a hypothetical decrease of 10% in the prices for these companies would reduce the fair values of the investments and result in unrealized loss recorded in other expense (income), netgain (loss) on long-term investment by $50. $12,123.

Similarly, based on the fair value of our warrant liability as of DecemberMay 31, 2020,2022, a hypothetical increase of 10% in the price for our common stock would increase the change in fair value of warrant liability and result in unrealized loss recorded in non-operating income by $5,800.$1,787.

Capital management

The Company’s objectives when managing its capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, to meet its capital expenditures for its continued operations, and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the cost of capital within a framework of acceptable risk. The Company complies with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, formanages its financial assetscapital structure and liabilities that are re-measuredadjusts it in light of changes in economic conditions and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Inventory –Impairment Assessments of Goodwill and Indefinite lived Intangible Assets for the Cannabis Costing — Refer toand Beverage Alcohol Reporting Units 

As described in Notes 23, 8 and 510 to the consolidated financial statements,

Critical Audit Matter Description

Inventory is comprised of raw materials, finished goods the Company’s consolidated goodwill and work-in-progress for cannabisindefinite lived intangible assets balances were $2,641.3 million and hemp products. Cost includes expenditures directly related to$248.4 million respectively at May 31, 2022. The goodwill associated with the manufacturing process as well as suitable portions of related production overheads, based on normal operating capacity. Inventory is statedCannabis and Beverage Alcohol reporting units was $2,416.7 million and $103.0 million, respectively at the lower of cost or net realizable value, determined using weighted average cost. For cannabis inventory, costs include pre-harvest, post-harvest, shipment and fulfillment, as well as related accessories.

The nature of the process for cannabis inventory costing is manual and requires management to use complex spreadsheet models updated monthly (“models”) to calculate a month by month ongoing cost of inventory. In addition, the models must use a variety of inputs and source data in order to calculate cost. Auditing the cost of inventory requiredMay 31, 2022. Management conducts an increased extent of audit effort.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressedimpairment assessment annually in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the cost of cannabis inventory included the following, among others:

Evaluated the complex spreadsheet models, and the inputs to such models, used to calculate the cost of cannabis inventory by:

o

Evaluating the incorporation of the source data into the models, testing the formulas used and testing the computational accuracy.

126


o

Testing purchases used in the models to third party source documentation.

o

Testing production costs used in the models to actual costs incurred.

o

Performing independent calculations of key inputs used in the models and comparing to inputs used by management.

o

Testing management’s allocation of indirect costs between inventory products by assessing the appropriateness of the allocation method, recalculating the allocations and on a sample basis testing the underlying allocations by tracing to source documents.

o

Testing production quantities used in the models by physically observing and verifying inventory quantities.

As a result of the Company’s material weakness identified by the Company in the “Control Activity” component of Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO, we increased the extent of inventory physical observations and verifications, increased the extent of testing where sampling methodology was used, and utilized third party source documents in the performance of our testing procedures.

Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets— Refer to Notes 2, 11 and 12 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company performs an annual assessment of the impairment for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets,fourth quarter, or a more frequent assessment whenfrequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the faircarrying value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value and angoodwill or indefinite lived intangibles may not be recoverable. Any impairment may have occurred. As at December 31, 2020, the Company performed their annual assessment including a quantitative assessment. This assessment required management to make significant estimates and judgements relating to forecasted revenues, gross margins and operating margins, and discount rate. Changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on eithercharges are determined by comparing the fair value of the hemp reporting unit to its carrying value. Fair value amounts are estimated by management using discounted cash flow models. Management’s cash flow models for the amountCannabis and Beverage Alcohol reporting units included significant judgements and assumptions relating to future cash flows, growth rates and discount rates. Based on the results of anythe impairment assessment, management recorded impairment of the Cannabis reporting unit goodwill of $182.7 million and impairment of indefinite lived intangibles of $110.0 million for the year ended May 31, 2022. 

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the impairment assessments of goodwill and indefinite-livedindefinite lived intangible assets for the Cannabis and Beverage Alcohol reporting units is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgement required by management when developing the fair values of the reporting units; and (ii) a high degree of auditor judgement, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures to evaluate management’s significant assumptions, including future cash flows, growth rates and discount rates.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence, in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets impairment charge, or both.assessments, including controls over the determination of the fair values of the Cannabis and Beverage Alcohol reporting units. These procedures also included, among others, (i) testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimates of the Cannabis and Beverage Alcohol reporting units; (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the underlying discounted cash flow models; (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the models; and (iv)


evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management, including the future cash flows, growth rates and discount rates. Evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to future cash flows, growth rates and the discount rates involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of the reporting units; (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data; (iii) sensitivities over significant inputs and assumptions; and (iv) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit, as applicable. 

Fair value measurement of intangible assets acquired related to the acquisition of Double Diamond Distillery LLC (d/b/a Breckenridge Distillery)

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method which requires recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are typically estimated using an income approach, which is based on the present value of the hemp reporting unit was determined to exceed its carrying value and no impairment charge was recorded.

Management applied significant judgment in estimating the fair value of intangible assets acquired, which involved the hemp reporting unit exceeded its carryinguse of significant estimates and assumptions with respect to the rate of future revenue growth, profitability of the acquired business and the discount rate, among other factors.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the fair value requiredmeasurement of intangible assets acquired related to the acquisition of Breckenridge is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management, including the use of specialists, when estimating the fair values of intangible assets acquired; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extentsubjectivity in performing procedures relating to the fair value measurement of intangible assets acquired; (iii) the significant audit effort in evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions relating to the rate of future revenue growth, profitability of the acquired business and the discount rate; and (iv) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.


Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the acquisition accounting, including involving fair value specialists.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’sWe have established disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2020. The term “disclosure controls” as(as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, (or “DCPs”), meansAct) to ensure that material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the officers who certify our financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board.

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and otherprocedures. Based on this evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures of a company that are designedeffective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by a companyus in the reports that it fileswe file or submitssubmit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’sSEC rules and forms. DCPs include, without limitation, controlsforms, and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is(2) accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including itsour principal executive officer and principal financial officers,officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Based on the evaluation of the Company’s DCPs as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as a result of the material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control described below, as of such date, the Company’s DCPs were not effective.

Management’sManagement's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

ManagementOur management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Asreporting as defined in Rules 13a‐15(f)13a-15(f) and 15d(f)15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Policies (“U.S. GAAP”). Due to inherent limitations, the Company's internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud. Effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management of the Company, under the supervision and participation of the CEO and CFO, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020 based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the Company’s internal controls.

As of December 31, 2019, management had identified certain material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. During fiscal 2020, management made the following changes to internal control over financial reporting to remediate the identified material weakness in the Control Environment component of internal control:

Built an experienced team with a combination of external advisors and internal personnel, including a new Chief Financial Officer, Corporate Controller, and Director of SEC Reporting & Technical Accounting, to improve the Company’s financial reporting close process and reporting of the Company’s financial results and disclosures.

128


The Company implemented additional consolidation and financial close related controls which included additional supervision and review activities by qualified personnel, the preparation of formal accounting memoranda to support our conclusions on technical accounting matters, and the development and use of checklists and research tools to assist in compliance with U.S. GAAP with regard to complex accounting issues.

Engaged an external advisor with subject matter expertise and significant resources to assist management with certain components of the internal control program and to supplement the financial reporting team’s U.S. GAAP expertise.

Despite management’s ability to remediate one of the two COSO framework material weaknesses identified at December 31, 2019, and as a result of management’s evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting, management concluded that as of December 31, 2020, the Company had a material weakness relating to one component of the COSO framework. The material weakness is summarized below, and remediation efforts are outlined in the “Remediation of Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section below.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control

As noted above, we invested significantly in our Control Environment and added critical resources across the organization and specifically in the finance team to establish a sustainable internal control environment. Despite this progress, management determined it did not remediate all material weaknesses as of December 31, 2020. The material weakness in Control Activities was further refined to specific areas as noted below.

Control activities: The Company did not fully design and implement effective control activities based on the criteria established in the COSO framework. The Company has identified deficiencies that constitute a material weakness, either individually or in the aggregate. This material weakness is attributable to the following factors:

The Company did not have effective controls over the review procedures for balance sheet account reconciliations and manual journal entries.

The Company did not have effective controls over the completeness and accuracy of key spreadsheets and reports used in the measurement and valuation of inventory.

The Company did not have documented evidence of review procedures and did not have sufficient segregation of duties within its accounting function for the Portugal and Manitoba Harvest business units.

Due to the existence of the above material weakness, management, including the CEO and CFO, has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2020. This material weakness creates a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to the consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Deloitte LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the Company’s Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and has included its attestation report on management's assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Remediation of Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company has improved its organizational capabilities and has successfully remediated the control environment material weakness from the prior year and continues to implement processes and controls to try and remediate the material weakness on control activities as of December 31, 2020. Additionally, although the Company implemented meaningful control enhancements throughout the year and in the fourth quarter of 2020, there was insufficient time to demonstrate full remediation of monthly and quarterly controls by December 31, 2020.

The Company continues to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting and is committed to ensuring that such controls are designed and operating effectively. The Company is implementing process and control improvements to address the above material weakness as follows:

The Company implemented a software solution in Q4 of 2020 to help facilitate the balance sheet account reconciliation control and automate several manual processes, each of which is expected to increase the

129


efficiency of the review process and formalize procedures around validation of completeness and accuracy of end‐user spreadsheets related to account reconciliations. The Company will continue to expand on the use of the software tool to help manage month end and quarter end activities.

The Company will continue its efforts to standardize review procedures and formalize the documentation of reviews through the use of checklists.

The Company made progress in the implementation of an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system and has supplemented existing accounting resources in its European operations in Q4 2020. The Company will continue its efforts to hire full time employees with technical accounting expertise and public company experience, as needed.

The Company will continue its efforts to provide training to all control owners on SOX 404 documentation requirements surrounding the use of key spreadsheets and key reports, and the Company will use external advisors to help facilitate training sessions as needed.

Management has made significant progress on the Company’s remediation plans as demonstrated by the remediation of the control environment material weakness and the further refinement of the control activities material weakness from the prior year and will continue its efforts to remediate the current material weakness in 2021. In addition, under the direction of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, management will continue to review and make necessary changes to the overall design of the Company’s internal control environment, as well as to refine policies and procedures to improve the overall effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting of the Company.

The material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will not be considered remediated until the remediated controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. The Company is working to have the material weakness remediated as soon as possible. No system of controls, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the system of controls will be met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control deficiencies or material weaknesses have been or will be detected. There is no assurance that the remediation will be fully effective. As described above, the material weakness has not been remediated as of the filing date of this Form 10‐K. If these remediation efforts do not prove effective and control deficiencies and material weaknesses persist or occur in the future, the accuracy and timing of the Company’s financial reporting may be materially and adversely affected.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Other than those described above, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a‐15(f) and 15d‐5(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter and year ended December 31, 2020, that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Tilray, Inc.

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Tilray, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weaknesses identified below on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, of the Company and our report dated February 19, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. These inherent limitations include the following:

 

Judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and control and process breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes;

Controls can be circumvented by individuals, acting alone or in collusion with each other, or by management override;

The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; and

Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has limited the evaluation of internal controls over our financial reporting to exclude controls, policies and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting of the recently acquired Breckenridge.
