Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months ended October 31, 2022 and 2021

(Unaudited, expressed in thousands of Canadian Dollars, except share amounts or where otherwise stated)

1. Description of Business

HEXO Corp. (“HEXO” or the “Company”), is a publicly traded corporation, incorporated in Ontario, Canada. HEXO is licensed to produce and sell cannabis and cannabis products under the Cannabis Act. The head office is located at 120 Chemin de la Rive, Gatineau, Canada. The Company’s common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (“Nasdaq”), both under the trading symbol “HEXO”.

2. Going Concern

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to continue its operations and will be able to realize its assets and settle its liabilities in the normal course of business as they come due in the foreseeable future.

During the three months ended October 31, 2022, the Company reported an operating loss of $40,519; cash outflows from operating activities of $28,790 and an accumulated deficit of $1,897,839 and has yet to generate positive cashflows or earnings. The Company had a working capital deficiency of $109,289 and held cash and cash equivalents of $78,484 as at October 31, 2022 ($83,238 at July 31, 2022). The Company’s 8% convertible debentures matured on December 5, 2022, which resulted in a cash repayment of $40,729. The Company remains subject to, amongst others, a minimum liquidity covenant of US$20 million under the Senior secured convertible note as well as a requirement to achieve Adjusted EBITDA of not less than US$1.00 for each quarter beginning in the Company’s third quarter of FY23.

These circumstances lend substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as they come due and, accordingly, the appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. In recognition of these circumstances, the Company has taken the following actions:

 

   

The Company has received a non-binding Letter of Intent for a $180 million equity purchase agreement (the “equity line of credit” or “ELOC”), from an affiliate of KAOS Capital Ltd (“KAOS”), which could provide the Company access to $5 million capital per month over a 36-month period in order to help meet debt and interest repayments under the amended and reassigned secured note. The available funds are however restricted by a rolling twelve-month, share issuance limitation, restricting the Company’s ability to issue common shares in excess of 19.9% of the total outstanding common share balance, calculated at the beginning of that period. Under the terms of the equity purchase agreement a minimum share price of $0.30 per common share is required in order to utilize the ELOC. As of October 31, 2022, the Company received exemptive relief however has yet to file the prospectus supplement qualifying the distribution and resale by the subscriber of the Put Shares and thus has not been able to draw on the ELOC. The Company has filed the required articles in order to consolidate its common shares on a 14:1 basis. The common shares are expected to begin trading on a post-consolidation basis on the TSX and Nasdaq on December 19, 2022 and at which point the Company’s share price is also expected to exceed the minimum share price of $0.30, which remains at the prescribed pre-consolidation amount.

 

   

The Company has executed a new directors and officers insurance program which has resulted in releasing previously restricted cash in the amount of $29,994 on September 1, 2022. The funds had previously been restricted under the Company’s captive insurance program (Note 6). The captive insurance program was replaced by a traditional insurance program that requires annual premiums.

The Company executed certain cost saving initiatives in the second half of the previous fiscal year in order to improve the operating expenses and cashflows of the business. The impact of these initiatives require time to be fully realized. During the current period, management has demonstrated improvements to the Company’s operating expenses and operating cashflows.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability in the future to achieve profitable operations and, in the meantime, to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations, comply with its financial covenants, and to repay its liabilities when they become due. Alternative financing, predominantly by the issuance of equity to the public, or debt, will be sought to finance the operations of the Company.

There can be no assurances however that financing alternatives will be available or available on terms that are acceptable to the Company or that the Company’s savings initiatives alone will yield sufficient liquidity to meet the minimum liquidity or generate positive Adjusted EBITDA, in order for the Company to meet its covenant requirements and execute on its business plan. As such, these circumstances create material uncertainties that lend substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as they come due and, accordingly, the appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications that would be necessary if the Company were unable to realize its assets and settle its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations. Such adjustments could be material.

3. Basis of Preparation

Statement of Compliance

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements (“interim consolidated financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”), using accounting policies consistent with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). These interim consolidated financial statements do not contain all the disclosures required in annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended July 31, 2022, prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with those described in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2022.

These interim consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on December 15, 2022. All figures are presented in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.

4. New Accounting Policies and Pronouncements

New and Amended Standards Not Yet Effective

The following IFRS amendments have been recently issued by the IASB. Pronouncements that are irrelevant or not expected to have a significant impact have been excluded.

Amendments to IAS 12: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction

The amendment narrowed the scope of certain recognition exemptions so that it no longer applies to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. An entity applies the amendments to transactions that occur on or after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. It also, at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented, recognizes deferred tax for all temporary differences related to leases and decommissioning obligations and recognizes the cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other component of equity, as appropriate) at that date. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of these amendments on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company recognizes the costs (capitalized cost and biological asset fair value adjustment) of harvested cannabis inventory expensed in two separate lines on the consolidated statement of net loss:

 

(i)

Capitalized costs relating to inventory expensed and included in Cost of goods sold amounted to $35,563 for the three months ended October 31, 2022 (October 31, 2021 – $82,985) which includes;

 

   

Write downs of inventory to their net realizable value of $10,266 (October 31, 2021 – $36,197); and

 

   

Write-offs of inventory of $4,400 (October 31, 2021 – $615) which relate to destroyed and unsellable inventory; and

 

   

Reversal of impairments of $5,351 (October 31, 2021 – $nil) to net realizable value.

 

(ii)

The fair value component (biological asset fair value adjustments) of inventory sold on the consolidated statement of net loss was $19,966 for the three months ended October 31, 2022, (October 31, 2021 – $12,760).

Total depreciation capitalized in inventory in the three months ended October 31, 2022, was $4,784 (October 31, 2021 – $6,275).

8. Biological Assets

The Company’s biological assets consist of cannabis plants throughout the growth cycle, from mother plants to plants in propagation, vegetative and flowering stages. The changes in the carrying value of biological assets for the period are as follows:

Balance, end of period

     9,143        15,906  
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Biological assets are valued in accordance with IAS 41 - Agriculture, based on an income approach (Level 3) in which the fair value at the point of harvest is estimated based on selling price less costs to sell at harvest. For in process biological assets (growing plants), the fair value at the point of harvest is adjusted based on the stage of growth at period-end. Harvested cannabis is transferred from biological assets to inventory at their fair value at harvest. During the three months ended October 31, 2022, the Company did not dispose of any biological assets (July 31, 2022 – $3,086).

 

7


The inputs and assumptions used in determining the fair value of cannabis plants are as follows:

 

   

yield per plant;

 

   

stage of growth percentage, estimated as age of plant from date of harvest as a percentage of total days in an average growing cycle, as applied to the estimated total fair value per gram (less fulfilment costs) to arrive at an in-process fair value for estimated biological assets to be harvested;

 

   

selling price per gram;

 

   

post-harvest cost (cost to complete and cost to sell) per gram; and

 

   

destruction/wastage of plants during the harvesting and processing process.

The table below summarizes the significant inputs and assumptions used in the fair value model, their weighted average range of value and sensitivity analysis:

On December 5, 2019, the Company closed a $70,000 private placement of convertible debentures. The Company issued a total of $70,000 principal amount of 8.0% unsecured convertible debentures maturing on December 5, 2022 (the “Debentures”). The Debentures are convertible at the option of the holder at any time after December 7, 2020 and prior to maturity at a conversion price of $12.64 per share (the “Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment in certain events. The Company may force the conversion of all of the then outstanding Debentures at the Conversion Price at any time after December 7, 2020 and prior to maturity on 30 days’ notice if the daily volume weighted average trading price of the common shares of the Company is greater than $30.00 for any 15 consecutive trading days.    

Upon maturity, the holders of the Debentures have the right to require the Company to repay any principal amount of their Debentures through the issuance of common shares of the Company in satisfaction of such amounts at a price equal to the volume weighted average trading price of the common shares on the TSX for the five trading days immediately preceding the payment date.    

In May 2020, the Company provided notice to all holders of the Debentures of an option to voluntarily convert their Debentures into units of the Company (the “Conversion Units”) at a discounted early conversion price of $3.20 (the “Early Conversion Price”) calculated based on the 5-day volume weighted average HEXO Corp. share price (the “VWAP”) preceding the announcement. The VWAP utilized data from both the TSX and NYSE. Each Conversion Unit provided the holder one common share and one-half common share purchase warrant (with an exercise price of $4.00 and term of three years). The early conversion occurred in two phases, the first being on June 10, 2020 followed by the second and final phase on June 30, 2020. During phases one and two, $23,595 principal amount and $6,265 principal amount of the Debentures were converted under the Early Conversion Price.

The accrued and unpaid interest as at October 31, 2022 was $309 (July 31, 2022 - $291) and there remained $40,140 in principal debentures (July 31, 2022 - $40,140) outstanding.

 

10


On December 5, 2022, the 8% debentures matured, and the Company made the full outstanding principal repayment of $40,140 plus accrued interest of $589.

On July 12, 2022, the Company amended and restated the senior secured convertible note, which was immediately thereafter assigned to Tilray Brands, Inc., pursuant to the terms of an amended and restated assignment and assumption agreement dated June 14, 2022 (the “Note”, or the “Senior Secured Convertible Note”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement, Tilray Brands acquired 100% of the remaining outstanding principal balance of US$173.7 million of the Note and, concurrently, HEXO assumed an obligation to pay a US$1.5 million monthly fee, that represents a finance cost, until the earlier of i) the date all obligations of the Company pursuant to the terms of the Note have been satisfied, extinguished or terminated, ii) the conversion in full of the Note, iii) cancellation by Tilray or iv) January 15, 2027.

The Note which unless early converted, matures on May 1, 2026, includes coupon interest at the fixed rate of five percent (5%) per annum, calculated daily, and is payable by the Company to the Holder semi-annually on the last business day of each June and December (commencing June, 2022). For the first year of the Note, the Company is required to pay interest in cash. Unpaid interest at October 31, 2022 was $3,605 (July 31, 2022—$464). Thereafter, until the maturity date, in the event that the Company is not in compliance with the Minimum Liquidity covenant, the Company shall be entitled to elect to add the amount of the interest to the Principal Amount of the Note as capitalized interest. Subject to the terms of the Note, unless the principal amount and the capitalized interest have previously been converted, on the maturity date, the Company shall pay the capitalized interest by way of conversion consideration.

Subject to certain limitations and adjustments, the Note is convertible in part, into HEXO Common Shares at the Holder’s option at any time prior to the second scheduled trading day prior to the maturity date, at a US$ equivalent conversion price of CAD$0.40 per HEXO Common share as determined the day before exercise, including all capitalized interest. HEXO has the ability to force the conversion if the daily VWAP per common share is equal to or exceeds $3.00 per share for twenty consecutive trading days, subject to HEXO meeting the terms of the equity condition, as set out in the terms of the Note.

The Company is not able to redeem or repay the Note prior to May 1, 2026, without the prior written consent of the Holder.

The Company is subject to certain financial and non-financial covenants as set out in the terms of the Note. Among other covenants, the Company is subject to a minimum liquidity covenant and is required to maintain an unrestricted cash amount equal to or greater than US$20.0 million. In addition, as of the last day of each three-month period starting with the three-month period ending April 30, 2023, the Company is required to have Adjusted EBITDA of not less than US$1.00 for the three-month period ending on such day. Adjusted EBITDA means for any fiscal quarter, the Adjusted EBITDA of the Company, calculated as: (i) total net income (loss); (ii) plus (minus) income taxes (recovery); (iii) plus (minus) finance expense (income); (iv) plus depreciation; (v) plus amortization; (vi) plus (minus) investment (gains) losses, including revaluation of financial instruments, share of loss from investment in joint ventures, adjustments on warrants and other financial derivatives, unrealized loss on investments, and foreign exchange gains and losses; (vii) plus (minus) fair value adjustments on inventory and biological assets; (viii) plus inventory write-downs and provisions; (ix) plus (minus) non-recurring transaction and restructuring costs; (x) plus impairments to any and all long-lived assets; (xi) plus all stock-based compensation; and (xii) plus any management or advisory fee paid by the Company to the Holder or any Affiliate thereof during the applicable quarter.

On the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Note becomes due and payable immediately at the Event of Default Acceleration Amount, as defined under the Senior secured convertible note agreement. The Note constitutes the senior secured obligation of the Company.

Fair Value Measurement

The Senior secured convertible note represents a hybrid instrument containing a conversion feature and multiple embedded derivatives. The Note has been designated in its entirety as FVTPL, as at least one of the derivatives does significantly modify the cash flows of the Note and it is clear with limited analysis that separation is not prohibited. The changes in fair value of the instrument are recorded in the consolidated statement of net loss with changes in fair value attributable to changes in credit risk being recognized through other comprehensive income.

 

11


The fair value of the Note is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy and was determined using the partial differential equation method with the following inputs;

Risk free rates were selected based upon a SOFR curve at the valuation date. The curve’s period range was 3 months to 4 years.

An increase/decrease in the US$/CA$ foreign exchange rate of 1% would result in a foreign exchange loss/gain adjustment of $2,225 (July 31, 2022 – $2,104). A decrease of credit spread by 1% would increase the fair value of the instrument by $2,814 (July 31, 2022 – $2,487).

16. Share Capital

(a) Authorized

An unlimited number of common shares and an unlimited number of special shares, issuable in series.

(b) Issued and Outstanding

As at October 31, 2022, a total of 600,988,447 (July 31, 2022 – 600,988,447) common shares were issued and outstanding. No special shares have been issued or are outstanding.

(c) Pending Share Consolidation

During the period, the Company continued to be non-compliant with the Nasdaq’s requirement to maintain a US$1.00 minimum share price. The Company received an 180 day extension to regain compliance status on July 26, 2022. Subsequent to October 31, 2022, and following shareholder approval of a consolidation of the Common Shares on the basis of a range between two (2) and fourteen (14) existing pre-consolidation common shares for every one (1) post-consolidation Common Share (the “Consolidation”) at the annual and special meeting of the shareholders of the Company held on March 8, 2022, the Company filed articles of amendment to implement the Consolidation on the basis of fourteen (14) existing pre-consolidation Common Shares for every one (1) post-Consolidation Common Share. The common shares will continue to be listed on the TSX and the Nasdaq under the symbol “HEXO”, and the common shares are expected to begin trading on a post-Consolidation basis on the TSX and Nasdaq on December 19, 2022. As a result of the Consolidation, the 600,988,447 shares issued and outstanding prior to the Consolidation will be reduced to approximately 42,927,746 common shares. Fractional interests of 0.5 or greater were rounded up to the nearest whole number of Common Shares and fractional interests of less than 0.5 were rounded down to the nearest whole number of Common Shares. On Consolidation, the exercise or conversion price and the number of Common Shares issuable under any of the Company’s outstanding warrants, senior secured

18. Share-based Compensation

Omnibus Plan

The Company has a share option plan (the “Former Plan”), adopted in July 2017, that was administered by the Board of Directors who established exercise prices and expiry dates. Expiry dates are up to 10 years from issuance, as determined by the Board of Directors at the time of issuance. On June 28, 2018, the Board of Directors put forth a new share option plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) which was approved by shareholders on August 28, 2019. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, options issued under both the Former Plan and Omnibus Plan vest over a three-year period. The maximum number of common shares reserved for issuance for options that may be granted under the Omnibus Plan is 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares or 60,098,845 common shares as at October 31, 2022 (July 31, 2022 – 60,098,845). The Omnibus plan is subject to cash and equity settlement, the Former Plan and plans acquired on business combinations are eligible for equity settlements. Options issued prior to July 2018 under the outgoing plan and the options assumed through business acquisitions do not contribute to the available option pool reserved for issuance. As of October 31, 2022, the Company had 22,049,595 issued and outstanding under the Omnibus Plan, 726,744 issued and outstanding under the Former Plan and 514,742 issued and outstanding under the assumed plans from business combinations.

All DSUs have been issued to directors of the Company and fully vest upon the termination of their tenure as directors. As at October 31, 2022, there were no vested DSUs.

Share-based Compensation

Share-based compensation is measured at fair value at the date of grant and are expensed over the vesting period. In determining the amount of share-based compensation, the Company used the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to establish the fair value of stock options and RSUs granted at the grant date by applying the following assumptions:

 

     October 31, 2022     October 31, 2021  

Exercise price (weighted average)

   $ 2.89     $ 8.99  

Share price (weighted average)

Expected life (years) of options (weighted average)

     5       5  

Expected annualized volatility (weighted average)

     95     92
  

 

 

   

 

 

 

Volatility was estimated using the average historical volatility of the Company and comparable companies in the industry that have trading history and volatility history.

20. Financial Instruments

Market Risk

Interest Risk

The Company has minimal exposure to interest rate risk related to the investment of cash and cash equivalents and restricted funds. The Company may, from time to time, invest cash in highly liquid investments with short terms to maturity that would accumulate interest at prevailing rates for such investments. As at October 31, 2022, the Company has $237,083 (US$173,700) of outstanding principal on the senior secured convertible note (Note 14) bearing interest of 5% per annum, paid semi-annually. The senior secured convertible note bears a fixed interest rate and therefore is not subject to interest risk.

Price Risk

Price risk is the risk of variability in fair value due to movements in equity or market prices.

Financial liabilities

The sensitivity of the Senior secured convertible note due to price risk is disclosed in Note 14.

If the fair value of these financial assets and liabilities were to increase or decrease by 10% the Company would incur a related net increase or decrease to Comprehensive loss of an estimated $22,271 (July 31, 2022 – $22,335). The following table presents the Company’s price risk exposure as at October 31, 2022 and July 31, 2022.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company’s trade receivables. As at October 31, 2022, the Company was exposed to credit related losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties.

The Company provides credit to its customers in the normal course of business and has established credit evaluation and monitoring processes to mitigate credit risk. Since the majority of the medical sales are transacted with clients that are covered under various insurance programs, and adult use sales are transacted with crown corporations, the Company has limited credit risk.

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted funds are held with three Canadian commercial banks that hold Dun & Bradstreet credit ratings of AA (July 31, 2022 – AA).

Certain restricted funds in the amount of $29,994 were managed by an insurer and were held as a cell captive within a Bermuda based private institution which does not have a publicly available credit rating; however they utilized custodian is Citibank which holds a credit rating of A+. During the three months ended October 31, 2022, management entered into a new directors and officers insurance program which released the cell captive restricted funds of $29,994.

The majority of the trade receivables balance is held with crown corporations of Quebec, Ontario and Alberta. Creditworthiness of a counterparty is evaluated prior to the granting of credit. The Company has estimated the expected credit loss using a lifetime credit loss approach. The current expected credit loss on October 31, 2022 is $444 (July 31, 2022 – $1,927).

In measuring the expected credit losses, the adult-use cannabis trade receivables have been assessed on a per customer basis as they consist of a low number of material contracts. Medical trade receivables have been assessed collectively as they have similar credit risk characteristics. They have been grouped based on the days past due.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and trade receivables represents the maximum exposure to credit risk and as at October 31, 2022 and amounted to $125,693 (July 31, 2022 – $158,461).

The following table summarizes the Company’s aging of trade receivables on October 31, 2022 and July 31, 2022:

Economic Dependence Risk

Economic dependence risk is the risk of reliance upon a select number of customers, which significantly impacts the financial performance of the Company. For the three months ended October 31, 2022, the Company’s recorded sales to the crown corporations; the Ontario Cannabis Store (“OCS”), Société québécoise du cannabis (“SQDC”), British Columbian Liquor Distribution Branch and the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis agency (“AGLC”) representing 42%, 15%, 14% and 11%, respectively (October 31, 2021 – SQDC, OCS and AGLC representing 31%, 20% and 15%, respectively) of total applicable periods net cannabis sales.

The Company holds trade receivables from the crown corporations AGLC, OCS and the SQDC representing 16%, 15%, and 10% of total trade receivables, respectively as at October 31, 2022 (July 31, 2022 – the two crown corporations OCS and AGLC representing 42% and 23% of total trade receivables, respectively).

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due (See Note 2 – Going Concern). The Company manages liquidity risk by reviewing on an ongoing basis, its working capital requirements. On October 31, 2022, the Company has $78,484 (July 31, 2022 – $83,238) of cash and cash equivalents and $45,029 (July 31, 2022 – $42,999) in trade receivables.

The Company has current liabilities of $321,981 (July 31, 2022 – $335,076) on the statement of financial position. As well, the Company has remaining contractual commitments of $25,029 due before July 31, 2023. Current financial liabilities include the Company’s obligation on the senior secured convertible note. The senior secured convertible note is classified as current due to the noteholders ability to convert the note into equity at any time during the life of the note, and therefore does not reflect a cash based current liability as at October 31, 2022.

The following table provides an analysis of undiscounted contractual maturities for financial liabilities.

Foreign Currency Risk

On October 31, 2022, the Company holds certain financial assets and liabilities denominated in United States Dollars which consist of certain amounts of cash and cash equivalents, the senior secured convertible note and warrant liabilities. 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. The Company closely monitors relevant economic information to minimize its net exposure to foreign currency risk. The Company is exposed to unrealized foreign exchange risk through its cash and cash equivalents. On October 31, 2022, approximately $45,966 (US$33,679) (July 31, 2022 – 104,215 (US$81,266)) of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents was in US$. A 1% change in the foreign exchange rate would result in a change of $459 to the unrealized gain or loss on foreign exchange.

The Company’s senior secured convertible note is denominated in US$. The sensitivity of the senior secured convertible note due to foreign currency risk is disclosed in Note 14.

LETTERS OF CREDIT

The Company holds a five-year letter of credit with a Canadian financial institution to provide a maximum of $250 that amortizes $50 annually until its expiry on July 14, 2024. On October 31, 2022, the remaining balance of the letter of credit is $150, was not drawn upon and is secured by cash held in collateral (Note 6).

The Company holds a letter of credit with a Canadian financial institution under an agreement with a public utility provider entitling the utility provider to a maximum of $2,581, subject to certain operational requirements. The letter of credit was initially issued on August 1, 2020 and had a one-year expiry from the date of issuance, with an auto renewal feature thereafter. On October 31, 2022, the letter of credit remained at $2,080 (July 31, 2022 – $2,080). The letter of credit has not been drawn upon and is secured by cash held in collateral (Note 6).

CONTINGENCIES

The Company may be, from time to time, subject to various administrative and other legal proceedings. Contingent liabilities associated with legal proceedings are recorded when a liability is probable, and the contingent liability can be reasonably estimated. While the following matters are ongoing, the Company disputes the allegations and intends to continue to vigorously defend against the claims.

As of October 31, 2022, the Company and one of its former Chief Executive Officers are defendants in a putative class-action lawsuit pending in the Québec Superior Court brought on behalf of certain purchasers of shares of the Company and filed on November 19, 2019. The lawsuit asserts causes of action for misrepresentations under the Québec Securities Act and the Civil Code of Québec in connection with certain statements contained in HEXO’s prospectus, public documents and public oral statements between April 11, 2018 and March 27, 2020. The allegations relate to: (1) statements made by the Company regarding its agreement with the Province of Québec to supply cannabis; (2) statements made by the Company regarding its acquisition of Newstrike, particularly the licensing of the Newstrike facilities and the forecasted synergies and/savings from the Newstrike acquisition; (3) statements made by the Company about the net revenues in Q4 2019 and fiscal year 2020; and (4) HEXO’s management of its inventories. The plaintiffs seek to represent a class comprised of Québec residents who acquired the Company’s securities either in an Offering (primary market) or on the secondary market during such period and seek compensatory damages for all monetary losses and costs. The amount claimed for damages has not been quantified and no accrual has been made as at October 31, 2022 (July 31, 2022—$nil).

As of October 31, 2022, the Company is named as a defendant in a proposed consumer protection class action filed on June 16, 2020, in the Court of Queens’ Bench in Alberta on behalf of residents of Canada who purchased cannabis products over specified periods of

 

19


time. Several other licensed producers are also named as co-defendants in the action. The lawsuit asserts causes of action, including for breach of contract and breach of consumer protection legislation, arising out of allegations that the Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or Cannabidiol (CBD) content of medicinal and recreational cannabis products sold by the Company and the other defendants to consumers was different from what was advertised on the products’ labels. Many of the cannabis products sold by the Company and other defendants were allegedly sold to consumers in containers using plastic bottles or caps that may have rapidly absorbed or degraded the THC or CBD content within them. By allegedly over-representing the true amount of THC or CBD in the products, the plaintiff claims that consumers would be required to consume substantially more product than they otherwise would have in order to obtain the desired effects or, in the alternative, would have consumed the product without obtaining the desired effects. The action has not yet been certified as a class action.

ONEROUS CONTRACT

During the period, the Company’s onerous contract provision related to a fixed price supply agreement for the supply of certain cannabis products was adjusted to the court settlement amount of $1,846, inclusive of $575 of accrued interest.

27. Revenue from Sale of Goods

The Company disaggregates its revenues from the sale of goods between sales of cannabis beverages (“Cannabis beverage sales”) and dried flower, vapes, and other cannabis products (“Cannabis sales excluding beverages”). The Company’s cannabis beverage sales are derived from the CIB division, which was established in order to manufacture, produce and sell cannabis beverage products. The CIB division operated under the Company’s cannabis manufacturing licensing, in compliance with Health Canada and the Cannabis Act’s regulations until Truss LP received its cannabis manufacturing license on October 1, 2021, and its selling license on May 2, 2022. During the three months ended October 31, 2022, the Company continued to act as a principal in the sale of CIBs to customers and therefore, continues to present revenue from CIB on a gross basis. Subsequently, beginning in November 2022, Truss LP has operationalized its cannabis selling license and the Company has ceased the recognition of CIB sales.

The Company’s effective income tax rate was 1.43% for the three months ended October 31, 2022 (October 31, 2021 – 0.1%). The effective tax rate is different than the statutory rate primarily due to the non-recognition of deferred tax assets.
