Current report

The Company’s business may be materially adversely affected by the imposition of duties and tariffs and other trade barriers and retaliatory countermeasures implemented by the U.S. and other governments.

Current report

Recently there have been significant changes to U.S. trade policies, sanctions, legislation, treaties and tariffs, including, but not limited to, trade policies and tariffs affecting products from outside of the U.S. For example, in early 2025, the current U.S. presidential administration announced significant new tariffs on foreign imports into the U.S., specifically from Mexico and Canada, and has proposed additional new tariffs that may be implemented in the future. The extent and duration of increased tariffs and the resulting impact on general economic conditions and on our business are uncertain and depend on various factors, such as negotiations between the U.S. and affected countries, the responses of other countries or regions, exemptions or exclusions that may be granted, availability and cost of alternative sources of supply, and demand for our products in affected markets. Any new or additional tariffs on goods imported to the U.S. from Mexico, Canada, or other countries, or products imported into the European Union or other non-U.S. markets, could also increase the cost of some of our products and reduce our margins. In response to the tariffs, the Company may seek to increase prices to its customers, which may diminish demand for its products. The imposition of additional tariffs or other trade barriers could increase our costs in certain markets and may cause our customers to find alternative sourcing or could make it more difficult for us to sell our products in some markets. Other countries where we operate or sell our products have changed, and may continue to change, their own policies on trade as well as business and foreign investment in their respective countries. Additionally, it is possible that U.S. policy changes and uncertainty about such changes could increase market volatility and currency exchange rate fluctuations. As a result of these dynamics, we cannot predict the impact to our business of any future changes to the U.S.’s or other countries’ trading relationships or the impact of new laws or regulations adopted by the U.S. or other countries.

Current report

On March 25, 2025, the Company received written notice (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Select Market. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share, and Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive business days. The Notice does not impact the listing of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market at this time. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days before September 21, 2025. In the event that the Company does not regain compliance within this 180-day period, the Company may be eligible to transfer from the Nasdaq Global Select Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market and seek an additional compliance period of 180 calendar days if it meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement, and provides written notice to Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency during this second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split if necessary. However, if it appears to the Nasdaq staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq will provide notice to the Company that its common stock will be subject to delisting. The Company is actively monitoring the closing bid price of its common stock and evaluating available options to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirements.

Current report

There is Uncertainty Regarding the Impact of Tilray Implementing a Reverse Stock Split.

Current report

Tilray’s board of directors and stockholders have both approved a reverse stock split intended to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) and sustain our listing on The Nasdaq Global Select Market. However, the board of directors is continuing to consider whether and when to effect a reverse stock split. This uncertainty, combined with the unpredictable stock market behavior inherent in implementing a reverse split, could result in execution challenges and heightened market volatility, potentially undermining investor confidence or affecting our share price.

Current report

The proposed reverse split may be perceived by the market as an indicator of underlying financial or strategic challenges, which could adversely affect trading liquidity and shareholder sentiment. A reduction in the number of outstanding shares, while designed to boost our per‑share market price, carries the risk of dampening the overall attractiveness of our securities. Additionally, the reverse split process demands significant management focus and resource allocation, posing the risk of diverting attention from our core strategic initiatives. Strict regulatory compliance is crucial, and any difficulties in meeting these requirements or managing unforeseen adverse market conditions following the split could have a lasting impact on our stock’s trading dynamics.

Risks Related to our Convertible Securities

Current report

Risks Related to our Planned Cryptocurrency Strategy.

Current report

Our cryptocurrency strategy faces high risk and uncertainty in light of market volatility and an evolving regulatory landscape.

Current report

Our decision to invest in and hold digital assets – including Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies—as a recent addition to our treasury management strategy poses considerable risks that could materially harm our operating results and financial condition. The inherent volatility in cryptocurrency markets can lead to rapid and substantial fluctuations in the value of our digital asset holdings; such volatility may force us to liquidate positions at unfavorable prices, thereby significantly impairing our liquidity and overall financial stability.

Current report

Moreover, our cryptocurrency strategy is developing amid a continuously changing and uncertain regulatory environment. Evolving cryptocurrency regulations and varying interpretations and enforcement policies of existing laws in the United States and internationally may impose new compliance burdens, disrupt our planned operations, or necessitate significant modifications to our existing business practices. Any adverse regulatory action or delay in clarity could escalate our operational costs, materially harm the value of our digital asset holdings, restrict our flexibility in managing these assets, and damage our reputation with investors and counterparties.

Current report

Additionally, the unique audit, accounting, and internal control challenges associated with managing digital assets add further complexity to our risk profile. As current financial reporting standards may not fully capture the nuances of digital asset investments, future modifications to these standards could require substantial changes in our accounting policies and internal controls. Our reliance on third-party custodial, trading and transaction platforms for the storage and processing of these assets also exposes us to increased cybersecurity threats, operational disruptions, and risks stemming from third-party service providers, each of which could result in significant financial inaccuracies, legal liabilities, or reputational damage. Relatedly, digital asset custodial accounts do not benefit from customary regulatory, insurance and safeguard regimes available to traditional brokerage and deposit accounts.

Current report

Given the nascent and rapidly evolving nature of digital asset markets, any unfavorable developments in market conditions, regulatory frameworks, or technological vulnerabilities could severely undermine our ability to execute our digital asset strategy effectively. Any significant adverse developments in the digital asset space may have a material negative impact on our long-term performance and strategic goals.

Risks Related to the MedMen Investment

Previous report

We may recognize significant impairments in the carrying value of our investment in the MedMen secured convertible notes as a result of MedMen’s ongoing restructuring or liquidation undertakings.

Previous report

On August 31, 2021, we acquired an indirect interest in certain senior secured convertible notes issued by MedMen. The notes are only exercisable upon U.S. federal legalization of cannabis or in certain other limited circumstances. The notes are secured by a collateral portfolio consisting of assets and/or equity interests of numerous MedMen U.S. operating subsidiaries and intermediate holding entities. We currently record this investment in our financial statements as a convertible note receivable with a value of as May 31, 2024 of $32,000. See Note 11 (Convertible notes receivable) for additional details on transactions during the period.

Previous report

On January 24, 2024, MedMen disclosed that its chief executive officer had stepped down and its board had appointed a chief restructuring officer. MedMen and certain subsidiaries subsequently commenced insolvency actions in the United States and Canada in late April 2024, with each of its directors resigning immediately prior to such filings.

Previous report

MedMen’a restructuring activities, such as asset sales, liquidations, debt restructuring, foreclosures or assignments, may lead to significant changes in MedMen’s operations and asset base, impacting the recoverability of our investment carrying values. The resulting value of our investments may be significantly impacted. MedMen’s restructuring and liquidation proceedings may impact the recoverability of our investments, particularly if there are competing claims on assets or if the process is subject to state and local laws rather than U.S. bankruptcy laws. While our investment in MedMen benefits from security interests in certain of its assets, the realization of these interests could be challenging, especially in jurisdictions where U.S. bankruptcy laws do not apply. In such cases, we may be reliant on state and local restructuring processes or other negotiated arrangements to recover value from our collateral.

Previous report

MedMen’s restructuring activities could also lead to significant impairments in the carrying value of our investment in the MedMen convertible notes, which could materially and adversely affect our financial results and the value of our investment portfolio.

Previous report

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

Previous report

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. 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.

Previous report

Our failure to successfully negotiate supply contracts that address such market vagaries could result in us being contractually obligated to purchase 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.

Previous wording

We are also required to obtain and maintain certain permits, licenses or other approvals from regulatory agencies in countries and markets outside of Canada in which we operate or to which we export our product, including, in the case of certain countries, the ability to demonstrate compliance with EU-GMP standards. 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 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 products, may limit or altogether restrict the import and/or export of cannabis products.

Previous wording

Government regulation of the cannabis industry is evolving, including recent regulatory developments in the United States to broaden medical access to cannabis and reschedule cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III under the Controlled Substances Act, 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.

Current wording

Government regulation of the cannabis industry is evolving, including recent regulatory developments in the United States to reschedule cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III under the Controlled Substances Act or revise the current federal framework under the 2018 Farm Bill for hemp-derived cannabis, including Delta-9, and any 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.

Previous wording

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.

Previous wording

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. 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.

Current wording

Health Canada has issued approximately a thousand licenses for Licensed Producers.

Previous wording

In addition to the foregoing, the legal landscape for medical and adult-use cannabis is changing internationally. We maintain operations outside of Canada, 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.

Previous wording

Goodwill, intangible and other long-lived assets comprise a significant portion of our total assets. As of* *May 31, 2024 our goodwill and intangible assets totaled $2.0 billion and $915.5 million, respectively. We test goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment annually, while our other long-lived assets, including our finite-lived intangible assets, are tested for impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”). A decrease in our market capitalization or profitability, or unfavorable changes in market, economic or industry conditions could increase the risk of additional impairment. Any resulting additional impairments could have a negative impact on our stock price.

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 herein 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 common stock may significantly decrease and our ability to raise capital, expand our business or continue our operations may be impaired.

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 as of the date of this Form 10-K 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.

Our substantial consolidated indebtedness (refer to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K) 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.

On March 13, 2020, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Canaccord Genuity LLC relating to the issuance and sale of shares of our common stock at a price to the public of $4.76 per share and included warrants to purchase additional common stock at a price of $4.7599 per warrant. As of May 31, 2024, 6,209,000 warrants remain outstanding and do not expire until September 17, 2025.

Therefore, the exercise price of the warrants may end up being lower than $5.95 per share, which could result in incremental dilution to existing stockholders.
