Net revenue was $333.3 million in fiscal 2023, as compared to $475.7 million in fiscal 2022. The year-over-year decrease is primarily attributable to: (i) the continuing decrease in net revenue from our Canada cannabis segment, as increased competition in the Canadian adult-use market has resulted in lower sales velocities, continued price compression, and reduced traffic at our corporate-owned retail stores (prior to their divestiture); (ii) the divestiture of our interest in C 3 Cannabinoid Compound Company GmbH (“C 3”) in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022; (iii) the divestiture of our retail business in Canada with the closing of the FOUR20 Transaction on October 26, 2022 and the OEGRC Transaction on December 30, 2022; (iv) a decline in our U.S. CBD business, as we focused our product and brand offerings; (v) lower bulk cannabis sales; and (vi) a decrease in revenues from our Storz & Bickel and This Works businesses. These decreases were partially offset by international cannabis sales growth.

Canadian medical cannabis net revenue was $55.8 million in fiscal 2023, as compared to $52.6 million in fiscal 2022.

These factors were partially offset by a year-over-year decrease in the total number of medical orders, which was primarily related to the increasing number of adult-use cannabis retail stores across Canada.

Our “Adjusted EBITDA” is a non-GAAP measure used by management that is not defined by U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Management calculates Adjusted EBITDA as the reported net income (loss), adjusted to exclude income tax recovery (expense); other income (expense), net; loss on equity method investments; share-based compensation expense; depreciation and amortization expense; asset impairment and restructuring costs; expected credit losses on financial assets and related charges; restructuring costs recorded in cost of goods sold; and charges related to the flow-through of inventory step-up on business combinations, and further adjusted to remove acquisition-related costs. Asset impairments related to periodic changes to our supply chain processes are not excluded from Adjusted EBITDA given their occurrence through the normal course of core operational activities. Accordingly, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful and useful financial information as this measure demonstrates the operating performance of businesses.

Share-based compensation expense was $14.2 million in fiscal 2024, as compared to $25.3 million in fiscal 2023. The year-over-year decrease is primarily attributable to the impact of our previously-noted restructuring actions, which resulted in forfeitures of stock options, restricted share units and performance units and results in lower relative expenses in future periods. While 2.4 million stock options were granted in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and 1.5 million restricted share units were granted in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the associated expense relating to both items partially offset the decrease noted.

Comparatively, in fiscal 2024, the loss on asset impairment and restructuring was primarily related to: (i) the Storz & Bickel goodwill and intangible asset impairment resulting from our annual impairment testing; (ii) the charges associated with the completion of the This Works divestiture; and (iii) incremental impairment losses and other costs associated with the restructuring of our Canadian cannabis operations that were initiated in the three months ended March 31, 2023. These charges were offset by a gain on the sale of our production facility at 1 Hershey Drive in Smiths Falls, Ontario. The gain is due to the sale proceeds exceeding the carrying value that was previously impaired at March 31, 2023.

The Acreage financial instrument, in the amount of $45.4 million. On a quarterly basis, we determine the fair value of the Acreage financial instrument using a probability-weighted expected return model, incorporating several potential scenarios and outcomes associated with the Acreage Amended Arrangement. The fair value decrease for fiscal 2024 is primarily attributable to a decrease of approximately 51% in our share price, relative to a decrease of approximately 49% in Acreage's share price during the same period. As a result, the model at March 31, 2024 reflects both a lower estimated value of the Canopy Growth common shares expected to be issued upon changes in U.S. federal law to permit the general cultivation, distribution, and possession of marijuana or to remove the regulation of such activities from the federal laws of the United States (the “Triggering Event”), and a lower estimated value of the Acreage shares expected to be acquired at that time. In fiscal 2024, the relative share price movements resulted in a decrease in the value of the Acreage financial instrument.

Cash used in operating activities totaled $165.8 million in fiscal 2025, as compared to cash used of $282.0 million in fiscal 2024. The decrease in the cash used in operating activities is primarily due to: (i) the year-over-year decrease in our operating losses, resulting from our previously-noted restructuring actions and cost savings programs, including the closure of certain of our Canadian facilities and other operational changes to implement cultivation-related efficiencies and improvements in the Canadian adult-use cannabis business; and (ii) a reduction in the cash interest paid resulting from a reduction in our debt balances.

Free cash flow in fiscal 2025 was an outflow of $176.6 million, as compared to an outflow of $231.9 million in fiscal 2024. The year-over-year decrease in the free cash outflow primarily reflects the decrease in cash used in operating activities, as described above.

As part of our annual impairment testing, we performed a quantitative goodwill impairment assessment for our remaining goodwill balance, which is assigned to the Storz & Bickel reporting unit. From the analysis, no impairment was noted for our Storz & Bickel reporting unit, as the estimated fair value of the Storz & Bickel reporting unit exceeded its carrying value. The estimated fair value of the Storz & Bickel reporting unit was determined using the income valuation method, with the most significant assumptions used in applying this method being: (i) the discount rate; (ii) the expected long-term growth rate; (iii) revenue growth rate projections;
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
and (iv) annual cash flow projections. This methodology is consistent with that used by us for our annual impairment test conducted at March 31, 2024.
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
At March 31, 2025, the fair value of the Storz & Bickel reporting unit to which goodwill is assigned exceeded its carrying value by approximately 10%. Accordingly, the goodwill assigned to the Storz & Bickel reporting unit is at risk for impairment in future periods. We may be required to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment assessment in future periods for the Storz & Bickel reporting unit, to the extent we experience declines in the expected long-term growth rate, revenue growth rate projections or annual cash flow projections, or if discount rates increase, or if other indicators of impairment arise.

The decrease of $26.9 million in the fair value of the warrant derivative liability (resulting in non-cash income) in fiscal 2023 is primarily attributable to a decrease of approximately 75% in our share price during fiscal 2023, further impacted by a shorter expected time to maturity of the Tranche B Warrants. Comparatively, the decrease of $588.7 million in the fair value of the warrant derivative liability in fiscal 2022 was primarily attributable to a decrease of approximately 77% in our share price during fiscal 2022, further impacted by a shorter expected time to maturity of the Tranche B Warrants.

Decrease in non-cash income of $506.0 million related to fair value changes on the liability arising from the Acreage Arrangement, from $553.0 million in fiscal 2022 to $47.0 million in fiscal 2023.

As a result, the model at June 30, 2022 reflected a lower estimated value of the Canopy Growth common shares expected to be issued at the exchange ratio of 0.03048 upon a Triggering Event, relative to the estimated value of the Fixed Shares expected to be acquired at that time; in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, this resulted in a change from a liability amount to an asset amount of $60.0 million in other financial assets. Fair value changes associated with the Acreage financial instrument asset from July 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023 are described below. Comparatively, the income amount recognized in fiscal 2022 was primarily attributable to a decrease of approximately 77% in our share price during fiscal 2022, relative to a decrease of approximately 53% in Acreage’s share price during that same period.
