TILRAY, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Description of business
Tilray, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively “Tilray”, the “Company”, “we”, or “us”) is a leading global cannabis-lifestyle and consumer packaged goods company headquartered in Leamington and New York, with operations in Canada, the United States, Europe, Australia, and Latin America 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 by providing them with products that meet the needs of their mind, body, and soul and invoke a sense of wellbeing. Tilray’s mission is to be the trusted partner for its patients and consumers by providing them with a cultivated experience and health and wellbeing through high-quality, differentiated brands and innovative products. A pioneer in cannabis research, cultivation and distribution, Tilray’s production platform supports over 20 brands in over 20 countries, including comprehensive cannabis offerings, hemp-based foods, and alcoholic beverages.
On April 30, 2021, Tilray acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Aphria Inc. (“Aphria”), an international organization with a focus on building a global cannabis-lifestyle consumer packaged goods company and involved in the manufacturing and distribution of beer and beer derivative products in the United States, and in the distribution of (non-Cannabis) pharmaceutical products in Germany, pursuant to a plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario).
Note 2. Basis of presentation and summary of significant accounting policies
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”) reflect the accounts of the Company. The financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2021 (the “Annual Financial Statements”). These financial statements reflect all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The Company’s balance sheet at May 31, 2021 was derived from the audited Annual Financial Statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the Annual Financial Statements.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the 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, under the historical cost convention except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value, as detailed in the Company’s accounting policies.
As a result of the April 30, 2021 business combination with Aphria, the reported results do not include the results of operations of Tilray and its subsidiaries on and prior to April 30, 2021, in accordance with the accounting treatment applicable to the Arrangement. Accordingly, comparisons between the Company's first quarter 2022 results and prior periods may not be meaningful.
Information about the accounting treatment of the Arrangement including details of the transaction, determination of the total fair value consideration, and allocation of the purchase price, are included in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended May 31, 2021 filed in Form 10-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 28, 2021 (“Annual Report”).
The purchase price allocation for the Arrangement is open for adjustments and has been allocated based on estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. In the event that more information is obtained, the purchase price allocation may change. Any future adjustments to the purchase price allocation, including changes within identifiable intangible assets or estimation uncertainty impacted by market conditions, may impact future net earnings. The purchase price allocation adjustments can be made through the end of the measurement period, which is not to exceed one year from the acquisition date.

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company either has a controlling voting interest or is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. A complete list of our subsidiaries that existed prior to our most recent year end is included in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended May 31, 2021 filed in Form 10-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 28, 2021 (“Annual Report”).
On August 13, 2021, the Company and other investors formed Superhero Acquisition L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, (“SH Acquisition”). SH Acquisition was formed for the purpose of acquiring approximately $
5
convertible notes (the “MM Notes”) originally issued by MedMen Enterprises Inc. (“MedMen”) and certain warrants (the “MM Warrants”) to acquire Class B subordinate voting shares of Medmen (the “MedMen Shares”) issued in connection with the original issuance of the MM Notes. The MM Notes mature on
The Company’s interest in SH Acquisition represents its right to
The Company is a limited partner under the SH Acquisition partnership agreement; however, material events conducted by the partnership require the approval of the Company, and, upon a Triggering Event, the Company has the ability to appoint two of the three members of the board of directors of the general partner of the partnership. As a result, we have consolidated SH Acquisition as a subsidiary of Tilray beginning on August 17, 2021. Additional information about the MM Transaction is included in Note 7, Long-term investments.
Long-term investments
Debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value and are subject to impairment testing. Other than impairment losses, unrealized gains and losses during the period, 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. Upon sale, realized gain and losses are reported in net income. Debt securities 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 net 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).
Investments in equity securities of entities over which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest or significant influence 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 are less than carrying values. Changes in value are recorded in the statement of net loss and comprehensive loss, within the line, “Non-operating income (expense)”.
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 losses 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 “Interest in Equity Investees” on the balance sheets. The Company assesses investments in equity method investments when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may be impaired. 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 other than temporary (OTTI). Evidence of a loss in value might include, but would not necessarily be limited to, absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment or inability of the equity investee to sustain an earnings capacity that would justify the carrying amount of the investment. Once a determination is made that an OTTI exists, the investment is written down to its fair value in accordance with ASC 820 at the reporting date, which establishes a new cost basis.
New accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which amends and simplifies existing guidance in an effort to reduce the complexity of
6
accounting for convertible instruments and to provide financial statement users with more meaningful information. ASU 2020-06 is effective for the Company beginning June 1, 2022. This update may be applied retrospectively or on a modified retrospective basis with the cumulative effect recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this ASU.
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2021-04”), which amends existing guidance for earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with Topic 260. ASU 2021-04 is effective for the Company beginning June 1, 2022. This update should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date of the amendments. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this ASU.
New accounting pronouncements recently adopted
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the ASU beginning June 1, 2021 and the adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments – Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) (“ASU 2020-01”), which is intended to clarify the interaction of the accounting for equity securities under Topic 321 and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. The Company adopted the ASU beginning June 1, 2021 and the adoption of ASU 2020-01 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Financial risk management and financial instruments |
Financial instruments
The Company has classified its financial instruments as described in Note 3 Significant accounting policies in our Annual Report.
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 $
Fair value hierarchy
The Company complies with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured 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.

The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of August 31, 2021 and May 31, 2021 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

The Company’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 quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations or discounted cash flows and is classified as Level 2.
Warrant liability: 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.
Contingent consideration: The contingent consideration from the acquisition of SweetWater is determined by discounting future expected cash outflows at a discount rate of

Items measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis
The Company's prepaids and other current assets, long lived assets, including property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets are measured at fair value when there is an indicator of impairment and are recorded at fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized.
Financial risk management
The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments: credit; liquidity; currency rate; interest rate price; equity price risk; and capital management risk.
|
(a) |
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. The maximum credit exposure at August 31, 2021, 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.
The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and maintains an allowance for credit losses at an amount sufficient to absorb losses inherent in the existing accounts receivable portfolio as of the reporting dates based on the estimate of expected net credit losses.
Due to the uncertainties associated with COVID-19, the Company may be unable to accurately predict the creditworthiness of its counterparties and their ability to meet their obligations. This may result in unforeseen additional credit losses.
|
(b) |
Liquidity risk |
As of August 31, 2021, the Company’s financial liabilities consist 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.
20
The Company maintains a debt service charge covenant on certain loans secured by its Aphria One facilities that is measured at year-end only. 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 August 31, 2021, management regards liquidity risk to be low.
|
(c) |
Currency rate risk |
As of August 31, 2021, 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 relates primarily to the Company’s outstanding debt. The Company manages interest rate risk by restricting the type of investments and varying the terms of maturity and issuers of marketable securities. Varying the terms to maturity reduces the sensitivity of the portfolio to the impact of interest rate fluctuations.
|
(e) |
Equity price risks |
As of August 31, 2021, 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 gain (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 August 31, 2021, a hypothetical decrease of
Similarly, based on the fair value of our warrant liability as of August 31, 2021, a hypothetical increase of
|
(f) |
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 manages its capital structure and adjusts it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, issue new debt, or acquire or dispose of assets. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. There have been no changes to the Company’s capital management approach in the year. The Company considers its cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities as capital.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the unaudited financial information and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2021 (“Annual Report”).
Company Overview
We are a leading global cannabis-lifestyle and consumer packaged goods company headquartered in Leamington and New York, with operations in Canada, the United States, Europe, Australia, and Latin America 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 by providing them with products that meet the needs of their mind, body, and soul and invoke a sense of wellbeing. Tilray’s mission is to be the trusted partner for its patients and consumers by providing them with a cultivated experience and health and wellbeing through high-quality, differentiated brands and innovative products.
Our overall strategy is to leverage our scale, expertise and capabilities to drive market share in Canada and 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.
Within Canada, we are focused on gaining market share in the Canadian cannabis industry by executing on our strategic priorities through entering new product categories that possess the most consumer demand, while leveraging our expertise to develop brands that are truly differentiated from our competitors and carefully curated to meet patient and consumer demand, investing in brand building and innovation activities and optimizing our production to continue to be the high-quality, low-cost producer we are today.
Internationally, we are focused on business activities that provide a return on investment in the near term without being capital intensive. 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 take a leadership position in the international cannabis industry.
Within the U.S., we are focused on leading the craft beer segment, including growing our SweetWater brand by expanding our distribution footprint, focusing on new product development and innovation 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. Further complementing this strategy, our Manitoba Harvest brand is a leading manufacturer of hemp-derived CBD and other cannabinoid products to promote the acceptance and mainstream usage of cannabis and hemp-based products ahead of federal legalization.
MedMen Transaction
On August 13, 2021, the Company and other investors formed Superhero Acquisition L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, (“SH Acquisition”). SH Acquisition was formed for the purpose of acquiring approximately $165.8 principal amount of senior secured convertible notes (the “MM Notes”) originally issued by MedMen Enterprises Inc. (“MedMen”) and certain warrants (the “MM Warrants”) to acquire Class B subordinate voting shares of MedMen (the “MedMen Shares”) issued in connection with the original issuance of the MM Notes. The MM Notes mature on August 17, 2028. Pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement dated as of August 17, 2021, SH Acquisition completed its acquisition (the “MM Transaction”) of the MM Notes and MM Warrants from certain funds affiliated with Gotham Green Partners.
The Company’s interest in SH Acquisition represents its right to 68% of the MM Notes and related MM Warrants held by SH Acquisition, which are convertible into approximately 21% of the MedMen Shares outstanding upon closing of the MM Transaction. The Company’s ability to convert the MM Notes and exercise the MM Warrants is dependent upon federal laws in the United States being amended to permit the general cultivation, distribution and possession of cannabis (a “Triggering Event”) or the Company’s waiver of the need for a Triggering Event and the receipt of any additional regulatory approvals. The total value of the MM Notes and MM Warrants was $170.9 million of which $117.8 million represents the ownership interest of Tilray, and $52.9 million represents the ownership interest of the unrelated minority owners.
23
As of August 31, 2021, MM Notes and MM Warrants are accounted for as debt and equity securities and recorded in long-term investments with an offsetting current liability for the outstanding consideration due. As partial consideration for the MM Notes and MM Warrants, on September 17, 2021, the Company issued 9,817,061 shares of its common stock. The balance of the consideration for the MM Notes and MM Warrants was paid in cash by the other partners of SH Acquisition.
Aphria – Tilray Business Combination
On April 30, 2021, upon consummation of the arrangement with Aphria Inc. (“Aphria”) pursuant to a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “Arrangement”), Aphria stockholders and Tilray stockholders owned approximately 61.2% and 38.8%, respectively, of the post-closing outstanding Tilray common stock resulting in the reverse acquisition of Tilray, whereby Tilray is the legal acquirer and Aphria is the acquirer for accounting purposes. Accordingly, as reported in our Annual Report and in this Form 10-Q, the assets and liabilities of Aphria are presented at their historical carrying values and the assets and liabilities of Tilray are recognized on the effective date of the business combination transaction and measured at fair value. The operating results for the comparable period, the three months ended August 31, 2020, are of those of Aphria. In conjunction with the reverse acquisition, the Company elected to adopt Aphria’s fiscal year of June 1 to May 31.
Prior to the completion of the Arrangement, our condensed consolidated financial statements were presented under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and in Canadian Dollars (C$). All prior periods have been recast and are shown in this Form 10-Q under GAAP and in United States Dollars ($).
The Coronavirus ("COVID-19") Pandemic, Its Impact on Us
We continuously address the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, a discussion of which is available in sections entitled "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of Part I and “The Coronavirus ("COVID-19") Pandemic, Its Impact on Us” in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2021.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, our Canadian adult use cannabis business continued to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in the buying patterns of the provincial boards which resulted in stagnant net revenue in June and July with an increase in August which we attributed to the increase in vaccination rates throughout Canada. While buying patterns of the provincial boards were stagnant, recent retail sales data suggests an uptick in consumer demand. Our Canadian medical cannabis business remained stagnant over the course of the quarter. Our international cannabis business continued to experience lower net revenue in Germany from situation-specific protective measures put in place throughout Germany. Our beer and alcohol business continued to deal with lower number of customers on-premise combined with declining off-premise business from the prior year. Recent increases in the Delta variant have hampered revenue growth in our main consumer facing markets. Our distribution business experienced slight improvement in the global supply chain disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in a modest increase in net revenue.
Despite the introduction of COVID-19 vaccines, the pandemic remains highly volatile and continues to evolve. We cannot accurately predict the duration or extent of the impact of the COVID-19 virus, including the Delta and other variants and other areas that directly affect our business operations. We will continue to assess our operations and will continue to consider the guidance of local governments throughout the world. If economic conditions caused by the pandemic do not recover as currently estimated by management or market factors currently in place change, there could be a further impact on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows from operations.
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
Throughout this Form 10-Q, we discuss non-GAAP financial measures, including reference to:
|
• |
gross profit (excluding inventory valuation adjustments and purchase price allocation (“PPA”) step up), |
|
• |
cannabis gross profit and margin (excluding inventory valuation adjustments and PPA step-up), |
|
• |
beverage alcohol gross profit and margin (excluding inventory valuation adjustments and PPA step-up), |
|
• |
distribution gross profit and margin (excluding inventory valuation adjustments and PPA step-up), |
|
• |
wellness gross profit and margin (excluding inventory valuation adjustments and PPA step-up), |
|
• |
adjusted net income (loss), |
|
• |
free cash flow, and |
|
• |
adjusted EBITDA. |
24
All these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition, and not in lieu of, the financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting 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 should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Segment Reporting
Management updated our reporting segments during the period. While the Company reported “business under development” as a fifth operating segment in its previous Annual Report, management determined that this no longer met the definition of an operating segment. The Company will continually review its operations and reporting structure in order to disclose its operating segments. Our reporting segments revenue is primarily comprised of revenues from our cannabis, distribution, beverage alcohol operations, and wellness, as follows:

Revenue from medical cannabis products: Revenue from medical cannabis products for the three months ended August 31, 2021 was $8.4 million as compared to $6.4 million in the prior year same period, representing an increase of 31%. This increase in revenue from medical cannabis products is primarily driven by the contributions of legacy Tilray’s medical cannabis business resulting from the business combination of April 30, 2021, along with a modest increase in average gross retail selling price to medical patients as compared to the first quarter of 2021. This increase was offset by lower number of existing patient renewals and lower number of new patients, in both independent and clinic patients.
Revenue from adult-use cannabis products: Revenue from adult-use cannabis products for the three months ended August 31, 2021 was $69.6 million as compared to $56.9 million in the prior year same period, or an increase of 22%. This increase in revenue from adult-use cannabis products is primarily driven by the contributions of legacy Tilray’s adult-use cannabis business resulting from the business combination of April 30, 2021, and numerous additional retail sales promotional programs, innovations, social media visibility and efforts to increase new accounts. During the early portions of the first quarter of fiscal 2022, consistently with our immediately preceding fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, we continued to experience stagnant replenishment rates and ordering by the provincial boards as a response to the lockdown measures related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the shift in the retail cannabis demand to price based brands during COVID. The decline is primarily due to shifting consumer trends to large-format and price compression in the market, magnified by consumer behavior during the lockdowns to a much heavier focus on price and potency. We also experienced additional declines in average gross selling price to the adult-use market and changes in the point-of-sale experience of our retail customers due to high turnover of budtenders at retailers. We continue to expand our product offerings to accommodate the changes in our adult-use customers and completed our first shipments to Nunavut. Tilray has presence in all Canadian provinces and territories.
Wholesale cannabis revenue: Revenue from wholesale cannabis products for the three months ended August 31, 2021 was $1.7 million as compared to $3.8 million in the prior year same period, representing a decrease of (55%). The Company continues to believe that wholesale cannabis revenue will remain subject to quarter-to-quarter variability and is based on opportunistic sales.
International cannabis revenue: Revenue from international cannabis products for the three months ended August 31, 2021 was $10.3 million. The increase is due to the contributions of legacy Tilray’s larger international cannabis business.
Distribution revenue
Revenue from Distribution operations for the three months ended August 31, 2021 was $67.2 million as compared to $66.3 million in the prior year same period, representing a slight increase on a period over period year basis. Included in distribution revenue is $65.0 million of revenue from CC Pharma, and $2.2 million of revenue from other distribution companies for the three months ended August 31, 2021 versus $64.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively, in the prior year same period. The slight increase in distribution revenue was primarily the result of increases in the value of the Euro compared to the US dollar during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 as compared
27
to the first quarter of fiscal 2021. This increase was partially offset by the negative impact of an isolated weather event in Densborn, Germany. Specifically, heavy flooding impacted CC Pharma and forced a business closure for approximately five days leading to a decrease in net revenue in the quarter of almost $5.0 million. Additionally, COVID-19 situation-specific protective measures put in place throughout Germany, continue to result in insufficient supply from other European Union countries, fewer workdays from lockdown periods, and limitations on elective medical procedures and lower frequency in-person visits to physicians and pharmacies.
Beverage alcohol revenue
Revenue from our Beverage operations for the three months ended August 31, 2021 was $15.5 million from SweetWater which was acquired on November 25, 2020. SweetWater operates on-premises, wholesale, and specialty sales. Revenues were negatively impacted from reduction in keg demand from the on-premises channel, which have higher profit margins than products intended for off-premises consumption. During the first quarter of 2022, our beverage operations began operating our new brewing facility in Colorado, released an extensive new line of innovative products, including seltzers and vodkas sodas, as well as a new beer offering developed in collaboration with our Canadian cannabis Broken Coast brand.
Wellness revenue
Included in Wellness revenue is $14.9 million from Manitoba Harvest, for the three months ended August 31, 2021. Manitoba Harvest was part of the assets acquired in the Arrangement. There are no comparable revenues in the prior year being presented.

Gross profit (excluding inventory valuation adjustments) and gross margin percentage (excluding inventory valuation adjustments) are non-GAAP financial measures. |
Cannabis gross margin: Gross margin of 43% decreased in during the three months ended August 31, 2021 versus the prior year same period reflects the addition of sales of Tilray brands that have higher costs to produce than our legacy brands.
Significant efforts have been taken to reduce the company’s cultivation costs at its Legacy Tilray facilities, including announcing the shutdown of both the Enniskillen and Nanaimo facilities. In the interim and until the inventory cultivated at these facilities work

their way through inventory, we expect to report lower gross margins than once all inventory is cultivated at Legacy Aphria facilities. During the period, imposing Legacy Aphria’s actual gross margins in the quarter over the higher costs at Legacy Tilray facilities, would have resulted in an increase in gross profit recorded of $4.9 million and resulted in a normalized adjusted gross margin of 33%.
Distribution gross margin: Gross margin of 12% remained fairly consistent with the same period in fiscal 2021.
Beverage alcohol gross margin: Gross margin of 57% is in line with our expectations but a slight decrease from the prior quarter. We did not operate in this segment during the first quarter of the prior year. We note that COVID-19 disrupted our product sales mix, resulting in lower than traditional gross margins for SweetWater.
Wellness gross margin: Gross margin of 27% is in line with our expectations and consistent with the preceding fiscal quarter. We acquired the wellness business in the Arrangement and did not operate in this segment during the first quarter of the prior year.

Operating expenses are comprised of general and administrative, share-based compensation, selling, amortization, marketing and promotion, research and development, and transaction costs. These costs increased by $76.1 million to $119.5 million from $43.4 million as compared to prior year same period. This was primarily due to reporting full quarters of operating expenses for SweetWater and Tilray, including non-cash amortization charges associated with definite life intangible assets acquired and generally and administrative expenses. The remaining increase is from transaction costs related to non-recurring expenses associated with our current acquisitions and evaluation of future potential acquisition, and one-time litigation costs.
General and administrative costs
During the three months ended August 31, 2021, increased by $23.5 million to $49.5 million from $26.0 million as compared to prior year same period. This increase was primarily related to i) office and general; ii) salaries and wages, including executive compensation; iii) stock-based compensation expense; and iv) insurance. These increased expenses resulted from reporting full quarters of operating expenses for SweetWater and Tilray.

Office and general increased primarily due to reporting SweetWater and Tilray for the full quarter and the additional one-time costs associated with the upcoming closure of our Nanaimo facility. As noted above, salaries and wages increased primarily due to reporting SweetWater and Tilray for the full quarter. The Company’s headcount increased to approximately 2,100 employees as a result of the Arrangement compared to 900 employees as of August 31, 2020.
30
The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $9.4 million for the three months ended August 31, 2021 compared to $2.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily due to increased number of employees and the accelerated vesting of certain of our stock-based compensation awards tied to the Arrangement. Stock options are valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model and represents a non-cash expense, restricted share units (“RSUs”) are valued based on the graded vesting and the grant date fair value. The Company issued 2,326,387 RSUs in the three months ended August 31, 2021 which included 1,345,158 performance RSUs as compared to 512,206 RSUs in the same period of the prior year.
Selling costs
For the three months ended August 31, 2021, the Company incurred selling costs of $7.4 million or 4.4% of revenue as compared to $5.8 million and 4.9% of revenue in the prior year same period. 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.
Amortization
The Company incurred non-production related amortization charges of $30.7 million for the three months ended August 31, 2021 compared to $4.1 million in the prior year same period. The increase is largely associated with the amortization on the acquired definite life intangible assets from the SweetWater acquisition and Tilray.
Marketing and promotion cost
For the three months ended August 31, 2021, the Company incurred marketing and promotion costs of $5.5 million as compared to $4.9 million in the prior year same period. The slight increase is primarily due to increased marketing and promotion programming that had been deferred with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Research and development
Research and development costs were $0.8 million during the three months ended August 31, 2021 compared to $0.1 million in the prior year same period. These relate to external costs associated with the development of new products. Although the Company spends a significant amount on research and development, the majority of these costs remain in costs of sales, as the Company does not reclassify research and development costs related to the cost of products consumed in research and development activities.
Transaction costs
Transaction costs were $25.6 million during the three months ended August 31, 2021 compared to $2.5 million in the prior year same period. This increase is associated with the solicitation of shareholder votes supporting an increase in the number of authorized common stock shares, transaction closing costs related to the Arrangement, our investment in the MM Notes and MM Warrants, the evaluation of other potential acquisitions and one-time litigation costs.

For the three months ended August 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized a change in fair value of its APHA 24 convertible debentures of $39.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, driven primarily by the decrease in the Company’s share price and the decrease in the trading price of the convertible debentures. Additionally, the Company recognized a change in fair value of its warrants of resulting in a gain of $17.5 million acquired as part of the Arrangement, also as a result of the decrease in our share price. Furthermore, the Company recognized a loss of $5.7 million and $16.3 million, respectively, resulting from the changes in foreign exchange rates during the period, and prior year period, 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.

Adjusted net 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. Adjusted net income is calculated as net (loss) income plus (minus) the unrealized loss (gain) on convertible debentures, a non-cash item, share-based compensation, foreign exchange (loss) gain, all non-cash items, and transaction costs, costs which will not necessarily continue in future periods depending on the frequency of additional M&A considered by the Company. It represents a measure management uses in evaluating operating results. The increase in adjusted net loss is primarily driven by higher net loss stemming from higher amortization costs associated with the definite lived assets acquired during the year, the additional general and administrative costs associated with Tilray for the full quarter and increased non-cash unrealized loss on changes to the fair value of our convertible debentures.

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 similar measures presented by other companies. The Company calculates adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income, plus (minus) income taxes (recovery), plus (minus) finance (income) expense, net, plus (minus) non-operating (income) loss, net, plus amortization, plus stock-based compensation, plus transaction costs and certain one-time non-operating expenses, as determined by

management. 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:

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:
|
• |
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. |
|
• |
Interest expense and loss on disposal of property and equipment to reflect ongoing operating activities; |
|
• |
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; |
|
• |
Non-cash amortization 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; |
|
• |
Non-cash inventory valuation adjustments; |
|
• |
Non-cash loss from equity method investments; |
|
• |
Costs incurred to start up new facilities and/or to close facilities in Nanaimo, Canada and Enniskillen, Canada; |
|
• |
Lease expense; and |
|
• |
Transaction costs associated with current and future business acquisitions. |

Cash flows from operating activities
The changes in net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended August 31, 2021 compared to the prior year same period is primarily related to payments associated with the Arrangement, income taxes at Aphria Diamond and accounts receivable increases associated with increased sales in the quarter. This net cash used in operating activities was positively impacted reductions in inventory.
Cash flows from investing activities
The change in net cash used in investing activities in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to the first quarter of 2021 is primarily due to proceeds from the disposal of redundant production equipment at our Aphria One facility.
Cash flows from financing activities
Cash provided by financing activities in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to the first quarter of 2021 is primarily due to an early payment on SweetWater’s term loan facility.
Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow
Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are non-GAAP measures. Free cash flow is comprised of two GAAP measures deducted from each other which are net cash flow used in operating activities less investments in capital and intangible assets. Adjusted free cash flow removes the cash impact of acquisitions from free cash flow. Our free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow were, as follows:

Except as disclosed elsewhere in this Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, there have been no material changes with respect to the contractual obligations of the Company during the three months ended August 31, 2021.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing
As of August 31, 2021, the Company has no off-balance sheet financing.
Contingencies
In the normal course of business, we may receive inquiries or become involved in legal disputes regarding various litigation matters. In the opinion of management, any potential liabilities resulting from such claims would not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
A description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that may potentially impact our financial position and results of operations is disclosed in “Part I, Item 1. Note 2 – Basis of presentation and summary of significant accounting policies” to our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
|
(a) |
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. The maximum credit exposure at August 31, 2021, is the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaids and other current assets, promissory notes receivable 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 |
At August 31, 2021, the Company’s financial liabilities consist 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 a debt service charge covenant on certain loans secured by its Aphria One facilities that is measured at year-end only. 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.
35
The Company manages its liquidity risk by reviewing its capital requirements on an ongoing basis. Based on the Company’s working capital position at August 31, 2021, management regards liquidity risk to be low.
|
(c) |
Currency rate risk |
At August 31, 2021, 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 relates primarily to the Company’s outstanding debt. The Company manages interest rate risk by restricting the type of investments and varying the terms of maturity and issuers of marketable securities. Varying the terms to maturity reduces the sensitivity of the portfolio to the impact of interest rate fluctuations.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, and summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report was made under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of August 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures (a) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is timely recorded, processed, summarized and reported and (b) include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Consistent with guidance issued by the SEC, the scope of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures did not include the internal controls over financial reporting of SweetWater, which we acquired on November 22, 2021, and the internal controls over financial reporting of legacy Tilray, which we acquired on April 30, 2021. SweetWater and legacy Tilray represented 1.1% and 7.7% of our consolidated assets and 9.2% and 24.1% of our consolidated revenues as of and for the quarter ended August 31, 2021, respectively.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. As mentioned above, the Company acquired SweetWater and legacy Tilray on November 22, 2020 and April 30, 2021, respectively. The Company is in the process of reviewing the internal control structure of SweetWater and legacy Tilray and, if necessary, will make appropriate changes as it integrates them into the Company’s overall internal control over financial reporting process.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
"Item 3. Legal Proceedings" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2021 includes a discussion of our legal proceedings. There have been no material changes from the legal proceedings described in our Form 10-K, except with respect to the matters disclosed below.
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 U.S. 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 alleged 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 September 27, 2021, the U.S. District Court entered an Opinion & Order granting the Defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint in the Kasilingam litigation.
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 duty in 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 Company’s Board of Directors established a Special Litigation Committee (the “SLC”) of independent directors to re-assert director control and investigate the derivative claims in this litigation matter. The SLC has appointed the law firm Wilson Sonsini to assist the SLC with an investigation of the underlying claim and determine whether continued prosecution of such claims is in the best interests of the Company. The SLC has also moved to have the Plaintiffs stay discovery during their investigation.
