“We delivered another quarter of record net revenue, with growth across all our businesses, led by improved commercial and supply chain execution,” said David Klein, CEO. “We are building a track record of winning in our core markets, while also accelerating our U.S. growth strategy with the momentum building behind the promising cannabis reform in the U.S.”

“We are executing against our cost savings program, with several initiatives already completed and more underway to build a leaner and more agile business,” added Mike Lee, CFO. “These cost savings, along with our top-line growth and continued cost discipline, puts Canopy firmly on a path to achieve profitability during Fiscal 2022, with further improvement anticipated beyond.”

Medium-Term Financial Milestones

With our new strategy in place, our organizational changes complete, and our operational cost savings program now underway, the Company is in position to establish the following medium-term financial targets:

Net revenue CAGR of 40%-50% from FY 2022 to FY 2024;
Positive Adjusted EBITDA during the second half of FY 2022 and 20% Adjusted EBITDA margin for the full year FY 2024; and
Positive operating cash flow for the full year FY 2023 and positive free cash flow for the full year FY 2024.

Key drivers underpinning the Company’s financial targets include:

The Canadian legal recreational cannabis market growth of 40% in FY 2022 and 25%-30% CAGR from FY 2022 to FY 2024;
The Company’s Canadian recreational cannabis sales growth expected to be driven by overall market growth and market share gains;
The Company’s Canadian medical cannabis sales growth expected to be driven by market share gains in a stable-to-declining Canada medical cannabis market;
The Company’s international medical cannabis growth expected to be driven by the growth in Germany medical market;
Growth of the Company’s U.S. CBD business, and consumer packaged goods (CPG) businesses, namely BioSteel, ThisWorks and Storz & Bickel (“S&B”), expected to be driven by distribution expansion in the U.S. and new product launches;
The Company’s announced cost savings program of $150-$200 million expected to be realized over the next 12-18 months; and
The Company’s Capital Expenditures (CapEx) expected to be below $200 million per year in FY 2021 and FY 2022.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2021 Corporate Financial Highlights

Revenues: We achieved net revenue of $153 million in Q3 2021, an increase of 23% versus Q3 2020. Net cannabis revenue of $99 million was driven by an increase in Canadian recreational and International medical cannabis revenue. In addition, an increase in sales of S&B vaporizers, This Works health & wellness products, and BioSteel contributed to overall net revenue growth.
Gross margin: Reported gross margin in Q3 2021 was 16%. Adjusted gross margin, excluding restructuring charges recorded in cost of goods sold, was 26% in Q3 2021, representing a decrease of 500 bps from Q3 2020. Adjusted gross margin was impacted by continued under absorption of fixed costs, which is expected to moderate driven by the announced cost savings program.
Operating expenses: Total SG&A (“SG&A”) expenses declined by 15% versus Q3 2020, driven by year-over-year reductions in Sales & Marketing, General & Administrative (“G&A”) and Research and Development (“R&D”) expenses. Sales & Marketing expense decline of 15% reflects lower advertising and marketing expenses versus last year’s spending attributable to product marketing and brand awareness campaigns in support of our Cannabis 2.0 products, partially offset by higher sponsorship fees for BioSteel and increased brand spending in support of our U.S. CBD business. G&A expense decline of 23% was due primarily to a reduction in costs attributable to corporate restructuring actions taken earlier in the year. R&D expenses decreased by 33% also driven by lower compensations expenses resulting from corporate restructuring actions taken earlier in the year. Share-based Compensation expenses decreased 68% over Q3 2020.
Net Loss: Net loss of $829 million, a $720 million wider loss versus Q3 2020, was driven primarily by impairment and restructuring charges and other related charges of $416 million, of which $382 million relates to our announcement on December 9, 2020. Of the total impairment and restructuring charges recorded during Q3 2021, approximately 15% was a cash charge. Additionally, Other Expense totalled $291 million during Q3 2021 stemming from non-cash fair value changes, mostly driven by the Company’s higher stock price.
Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA loss was $68 million in Q3 2021, compared to a loss of $97 million in Q3 2020 driven by net revenue growth and a decline in operating expenses.
Cash Position: Cash and Short-term Investments amounted to $1.59 billion at December 31, 2020, representing a decrease of $0.39 billion from $1.98 billion at March 31, 2020 reflecting the EBITDA loss and capital investments.

Canadian Cannabis

Recreational B2B net sales were flat versus Q3 2020, as higher volume from our flower products and increased contribution from Cannabis 2.0 product were offset by a negative mix shift to value flower products. Recreational B2B net sales increased by 2% compared to Q2 2021 driven by store openings across Canada and improved market share performance.
Recreational B2C net sales increased 33% versus Q3 2020 due primarily to an increase in number of corporate stores as well as both Cannabis 1.0 products (dried flower, oils and soft gels) and Cannabis 2.0 products driving higher average basket size. Recreational B2C net sales increased 8% versus Q2 2021 due to a full quarter of sales from ten new stores in Alberta, and same store sales growth of 4% over Q2 2021 resulting from seasonal sales and promotional programs.
Canadian medical net revenue increased 4% from Q3 2020 driven primarily by a higher number of orders in Q3 2021.

International Cannabis

C3 revenue in Q3 2021 increased 19% over Q3 2020 in part due to market growth. C3 revenue in Q3 2021 increased 30% over Q2 2021 due to the resolution of a packaging issue with a distributor that limited sales in Q2 2021.
Dried flower sales in Germany declined 2% in Q3 2021 over Q3 2020 due to supply challenges and slower market growth in part driven by COVID 19 restrictions.

Strategic Businesses

S&B vaporizer revenue in Q3 2021 increased 53% over Q3 2020, benefiting from strengthened distribution in the U.S., a strong consumer demand, a broader product portfolio and strong seasonal sales.
This Works sales in Q3 2021 increased 32% over Q3 2020, benefitting from strong organic growth driven by e-commerce sales and sales of the Stress Check hand sanitizer launched in the UK and U.S. during fiscal 2021.
BioSteel sales increased due primarily to expanded distribution in the U.S. that drove strong organic growth. Over half of BioSteel’s sales during the period came from the U.S. market.

The third quarter fiscal 2021 and third quarter fiscal 2020 financial results presented in this press release have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
