Second Quarter Fiscal 2021 Corporate Financial Highlights

    --  Revenues: We achieved record quarterly net revenue of $135.3 million in
        Q2 2021 driven by increase in Canadian recreational revenue, continued
        strength in Storz & Bickel ("S&B") vaporizer sales and ThisWorks, and
        contribution from BioSteel, which was acquired in October 2019. Growth
        versus the prior year period also benefited from favorable comparison,
        as Q2 2020 results included a $32.7 million charge for returns, return
        provisions and pricing allowances primarily related to restructuring the
        Company's recreational softgel & oil portfolio. Adjusting for Q2 2020
        charge, net sales increased 24% versus Q2 2020.
    --  Gross margin: Gross margin of 19% was up 1,400bps versus Q2 2020. Gross
        margin during Q2 2021 compared to Q1 2021 was impacted by an unfavorable
        business mix driven by lower contribution from International Medical
        business and continued lower production output, partially offset by
        lower inventory adjustment.
    --  Operating expenses: Total SG&A ("SG&A") expenses declined by 19% versus
        Q2 2020, driven by year-over-year reductions in Sales & Marketing and
        General & Administrative ("G&A") expenses, partially offset by higher
        Research & Development ("R&D") expenses. Sales & Marketing expense
        decline of 30% reflects lower compensation expenses resulting from
        corporate restructuring actions taken earlier in the year, delayed or
        cancelled marketing activities and reduced travel-related expenses due
        to the COVID-19 pandemic. G&A expenses decreased by 26%, while R&D
        expenses rose by 19% mainly driven by ongoing research studies that
        commenced after Q2 2020. Excluding Acquisition-related costs of $3.5
        million, SG&A expenses declined by 20% versus Q2 2020. Share-based
        Compensation expenses decreased 76% over Q2 2020.
    --  Net Loss: Net loss of $96.6 million in Q2 2021, a $339.2 million wider
        loss versus Q2 2020, was driven by lower other income.
    --  Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA loss was $85.7 million in Q2 2021,
        compared to a loss of $150.4 million in Q2 2020 driven by higher revenue
        and lower operating expenses.
    --  Cash Position: Cash and Short-term Investments amounted to $1.722
        billion at September 30, 2020, representing a decrease of $254 million
        from $1.976 billion at March 31, 2020 reflecting the EBITDA loss and
        capital investments.

Business & Operational Highlights

    --  Strengthened competitive positioning in Canada recreational market:
        --  Our Canada recreational market share (covering British Columbia,
            Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova
            Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland & Labrador) increased
            to 15.5% during Q2 2021, up 200 bps versus Q1 2021, based on our
            internal market share tracking tool. Notably, our market share grew
            by 190 bps in Ontario and 140bps in British Columbia, while it
            declined by 40 bps in Alberta in Q2 2021 vs Q1 2021.
        --  We grew our market share in the flower category by 320bps during Q2
            2021 vs. Q1 2021. Twd. continued to drive market share gains in the
            growing value flower segment, as market share of value flower sold
            in Ontario more than doubled to 13.7%.
        --  Established leadership position in cannabis-infused beverage segment
            during Q2 2021, commanding a 54% dollar share with five Ready-to-
            Drink ("RTD") THC cannabis beverages under Tweed, Houseplant and
            DeepSpace brands in the Canadian recreational market. We launched
            Quatreau RTD CBD beverages across Canada in the current quarter. To
            date, over 2.0 million beverage units have been shipped since late
            March 2020.
        --  Opened 9 retail stores in Alberta during Q2 2021, bringing the total
            number of stores carrying the Company's award-winning Tweed and
            Tokyo Smoke retail banners in Canada to 48 (32 Corporate-owned) at
            the end of Q2 2021. One additional retail store opened in Alberta in
            October 2020.
    --  Stepped up activities in the U.S. market to drive accelerated revenue
        growth:
        --  Launched Martha Stewart branded health and wellness CBD gummies, oil
            and soft gels in September 2020. The launch generated significant
            earned media, which is already driving strong consumer demand.
            Martha Stewart CBD products are now expanding into brick-and-mortar
            stores, with a significant number of stores are expected to be added
            in the coming months.
        --  BioSteel signed distribution agreements with leading beverage
            distribution companies, Reyes Beer Division and Manhattan Beer,
            alongside several other partnerships through Constellation Brands'
            distribution network. These distribution agreements will bring
            BioSteel's ready-to-drink, electrolyte-packed sports hydration
            beverages to consumers, covering 100% of the US market through
            direct-store-delivery (DSD) network by early 2021. BioSteel is
            currently in discussion with a number of large national accounts and
            expects to have products on shelf across Food/Drug/Mass as well as
            Convenience & Gas channel over the course of calendar year 2021.
        --  Storz & Bickel (S&B) vaporizer products continued to see strong
            growth driven by both distribution gains and reorders from new US
            distributors. We have added an additional shift to keep up with
            demand and plan to triple production capacity by next summer.
        --  This Works strengthened direct (TW.com, shopcanopy.com) and
            third-party ecommerce sales channels and launched StressCheck hand
            sanitizer in U.S. with additional product lines and expanded
            distribution expected in the coming months.
    --  The Company and Acreage Holdings, Inc. ("Acreage") implemented an
        amended arrangement between the two companies. The amended arrangement
        reduces the total purchase obligation for Canopy and provides
        flexibility to majority or total ownership of Acreage upon the
        occurrence (or waiver by the Company) of changes in federal laws in the
        United States to permit the general cultivation, distribution and
        possession of marijuana (as defined in the relevant legislation) or to
        remove the regulation of such activities from the federal laws of the
        United States. Companies announced initial plans for Acreage to launch
        THC-Infused beverages in the states of California and Illinois in the
        summer of 2021.
    --  Continuing to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, with a focus
        on the health and safety of our employees, business continuity and
        supporting our communities.

                             business channel.

Canadian Cannabis

    --  Recreational B2B net sales increased by 2% from Q2 2020, adjusting for a
        $32.7 million charge in Q2 2020 for returns, return provisions and
        pricing allowances primarily related to restructuring the Company's
        softgel & oil portfolio.  Recreational B2B net sales increased by 21%
        compared to Q1 2021 driven by store openings across Canada and improved
        market share performance.
    --  Recreational B2C net sales increased 43% over the comparative period due
        primarily to an increase in number of corporate stores and cannabis 1.0
        products (dried flower, oils and soft gels) and cannabis 2.0 products
        driving increased foot traffic. Recreational B2C net sales essentially
        doubled versus Q1 2021 as store operations returned to pre-COVID level
        and we opened up additional stores in Alberta.
    --  Canadian medical net revenue increased 7% from Q2 2020 driven primarily
        by higher average basket size we saw in Q2 2021.

International Cannabis

    --  C3 revenue in Q2 2021 decreased 3% over Q2 2020 due to a packaging
        supply issue with one of the distributors, which has since been
        resolved.
    --  Dried flower sales in Germany decreased 5% in Q2 2021 over Q2 2020
        driven by slower market growth and intensifying competition in flower
        and extract segments.

Strategic Businesses

    --  S&B vaporizer revenue in Q2 2021 increased 100% over Q2 2020, benefiting
        from expanded distribution in the U.S., a broader product portfolio and
        increased customer demand. S&B is achieving record monthly sales as the
        business continues to benefit from new US distributors added earlier
        this year as well as reorders.
    --  This Works sales in Q2 2021 increased 34% over Q2 2020 due to
        strengthened ecommerce sales channel, sell-ins to the UK
        brick-and-mortar stores ahead of the holiday season and launch of new
        Stress Check hand sanitizer in the U.S.
    --  BioSteel sales benefited from reopening of big box retailers after the
        pandemic, expanded retail distribution in Canada and the launch of
        ready-to-drink sports drinks in the U.S. Over half of BioSteel's sales
        during the period came from the U.S. market.

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

Certain of the forward-looking statements contained herein concerning the industries in which we conduct our business are based on estimates prepared by us using data from publicly available governmental sources, market research, industry analysis and on assumptions based on data and knowledge of these industries, which we believe to be reasonable. However, although generally indicative of relative market positions, market shares and performance characteristics, such data is inherently imprecise. The industries in which we conduct our business involve risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on various factors, which are described further below.

The forward-looking statements contained herein are based upon certain material assumptions that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making a forecast or projection, including: (i) management's perceptions of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments; (ii) our ability to generate cash flow from operations; (iii) general economic, financial market, regulatory and political conditions in which we operate; (iv) the production and manufacturing capabilities and output from our facilities and our joint ventures, strategic alliances and equity investments; (v) consumer interest in our products; (vi) competition; (vii) anticipated and unanticipated costs; (viii) government regulation of our activities and products including but not limited to the areas of taxation and environmental protection; (ix) the timely receipt of any required regulatory authorizations, approvals, consents, permits and/or licenses; (x) our ability to obtain qualified staff, equipment and services in a timely and cost-efficient manner; (xi) our ability to conduct operations in a safe, efficient and effective manner; (xii) our ability to realize anticipated benefits, synergies or generate revenue, profits or value from our recent acquisitions into our existing operations; (xiii) our ability to continue to operate in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of the pandemic on demand for, and sales of, our products and our distribution channels; and (xiv) other considerations that management believes to be appropriate in the circumstances. While our management considers these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available to management, there is no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.

By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties that may be general or specific and which give rise to the possibility that expectations, forecasts, predictions, projections or conclusions will not prove to be accurate, that assumptions may not be correct and that objectives, strategic goals and priorities will not be achieved. A variety of factors, including known and unknown risks, many of which are beyond our control, could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this press release and other reports we file with, or furnish to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and other regulatory agencies and made by our directors, officers, other employees and other persons authorized to speak on our behalf. Such factors include, without limitation, the risk that the COVID-19 pandemic may disrupt our operations and those of our suppliers and distribution channels and negatively impact the use of our products; consumer demand for cannabis and U.S. hemp products; that cost savings and any other synergies from the CBI Group Investments may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; future levels of revenues; our ability to manage disruptions in credit markets or changes to our credit rating; future levels of capital, environmental or maintenance expenditures, general and administrative and other expenses; the success or timing of completion of ongoing or anticipated capital or maintenance projects; business strategies, growth opportunities and expected investment; the adequacy of our capital resources and liquidity, including but not limited to, availability of sufficient cash flow to execute our business plan (either within the expected timeframe or at all); the potential effects of judicial or other proceedings on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows; volatility in and/or degradation of general economic, market, industry or business conditions; compliance with applicable environmental, economic, health and safety, energy and other policies and regulations and in particular health concerns with respect to vaping and the use of cannabis and U.S. hemp products in vaping devices; the anticipated effects of actions of third parties such as competitors, activist investors or federal, state, provincial, territorial or local regulatory authorities, self-regulatory organizations, plaintiffs in litigation or persons threatening litigation; changes in regulatory requirements in relation to our business and products; and the factors discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on June 1, 2020. Readers are cautioned to consider these and other factors, uncertainties and potential events carefully and not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are provided for the purposes of assisting the reader in understanding our financial performance, financial position and cash flows as of and for periods ended on certain dates and to present information about management's current expectations and plans relating to the future, and the reader is cautioned that the forward-looking statements may not be appropriate for any other purpose. While we believe that the assumptions and expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable based on information currently available to management, there is no assurance that such assumptions and expectations will prove to have been correct. Forward-looking statements are made as of the date they are made and are based on the beliefs, estimates, expectations and opinions of management on that date. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, estimates or opinions, future events or results or otherwise or to explain any material difference between subsequent actual events and such forward-looking statements, except as required by law. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release and other reports we file with, or furnish to, the SEC and other regulatory agencies and made by our directors, officers, other employees and other persons authorized to speak on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.
