"We are building a track record of winning in our core markets, while also accelerating our U.S. growth strategy with the momentum building behind the promising cannabis reform in the U.S."
"We are executing against our cost savings program, with several initiatives already completed and more underway to build a leaner and more agile business," added Mike Lee, CFO. "These cost savings, along with our top-line growth and continued cost discipline, puts Canopy firmly on a path to achieve profitability during Fiscal 2022, with further improvement anticipated beyond."
Medium-Term Financial Milestones
With our new strategy in place, our organizational changes complete, and our operational cost savings program now underway, the Company is in position to establish the following medium-term financial targets:
-- Net revenue CAGR of 40%-50% from FY 2022 to FY 2024;
-- Positive Adjusted EBITDA during the second half of FY 2022 and 20%
Adjusted EBITDA margin for the full year FY 2024; and
-- Positive operating cash flow for the full year FY 2023 and positive free
cash flow for the full year FY 2024.
Key drivers underpinning the Company's financial targets include:
-- The Canadian legal recreational cannabis market growth of 40% in FY 2022
and 25%-30% CAGR from FY 2022 to FY 2024;
-- The Company's Canadian recreational cannabis sales growth expected to be
driven by overall market growth and market share gains;
-- The Company's Canadian medical cannabis sales growth expected to be
driven by market share gains in a stable-to-declining Canada medical
cannabis market;
-- The Company's international medical cannabis growth expected to be
driven by the growth in Germany medical market;
-- Growth of the Company's U.S. CBD business, and consumer packaged goods
(CPG) businesses, namely BioSteel, This Works and Storz & Bickel
("S&B"), expected to be driven by distribution expansion in the U.S. and
new product launches;
-- The Company's announced cost savings program of $150-$200 million
expected to be realized over the next 12-18 months; and
-- The Company's Capital Expenditures (CapEx) expected to be below $200
million per year in FY 2021 and FY 2022.
Third Quarter Fiscal 2021 Corporate Financial Highlights
-- Revenues: We achieved net revenue of $153 million in Q3 2021, an
increase of 23% versus Q3 2020. Net cannabis revenue of $99 million was
driven by an increase in Canadian recreational and International medical
cannabis revenue. In addition, an increase in sales of S&B vaporizers,
This Works health & wellness products, and BioSteel contributed to
overall net revenue growth.
-- Gross margin: Reported gross margin in Q3 2021 was 16%. Adjusted gross
margin, excluding restructuring charges recorded in cost of goods sold,
was 26% in Q3 2021, representing a decrease of 500 bps from Q3 2020.
Adjusted gross margin was impacted by continued under absorption of
fixed costs, which is expected to moderate driven by the announced cost
savings program.
-- Operating expenses: Total SG&A ("SG&A") expenses declined by 15% versus
Q3 2020, driven by year-over-year reductions in Sales & Marketing,
General & Administrative ("G&A") and Research and Development ("R&D")
expenses. Sales & Marketing expense decline of 15% reflects lower
advertising and marketing expenses versus last year's spending
attributable to product marketing and brand awareness campaigns in
support of our Cannabis 2.0 products, partially offset by higher
sponsorship fees for BioSteel and increased brand spending in support of
our U.S. CBD business. G&A expense decline of 23% was due primarily to a
reduction in costs attributable to corporate restructuring actions taken
earlier in the year. R&D expenses decreased by 33% also driven by lower
compensations expenses resulting from corporate restructuring actions
taken earlier in the year. Share-based Compensation expenses decreased
68% over Q3 2020.
-- Net Loss: Net loss of $829 million, a $720 million wider loss versus Q3
2020, was driven primarily by impairment and restructuring charges and
other related charges of $416 million, of which $382 million relates to
our announcement on December 9, 2020. Of the total impairment and
restructuring charges recorded during Q3 2021, approximately 15% was a
cash charge. Additionally, Other Expense totalled $291 million during Q3
2021 stemming from non-cash fair value changes, mostly driven by the
Company's higher stock price.
-- Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA loss was $68 million in Q3 2021,
compared to a loss of $97 million in Q3 2020 driven by net revenue
growth and a decline in operating expenses.
-- Cash Position: Cash and Short-term Investments amounted to $1.59 billion
at December 31, 2020, representing a decrease of $0.39 billion from
$1.98 billion at March 31, 2020 reflecting the EBITDA loss and capital
investments.
Business & Operational Highlights
-- Further strengthened competitive positioning in Canada recreational
market
-- Our Canadian recreational market share increased to 15.7% during Q3

80 bps in Ontario in Q3 2021 vs Q2 2021. Our market share in Ontario
improved by 150 bps during the latest 4-weeks ended January 17,
2021, vs Q3 2021.
-- We grew our market share in the flower category by 180 bps during Q3
2021 vs. Q2 2021. Twd. continued to drive market share gains in the

sold in Ontario increased by 310 bps to 16.8% in Q3 2021 from Q2
2021.
-- Our beverages captured 34% market share in Q3, even as new beverage

top 3 brands and our beverage brands are commanding higher velocity
versus competitive set on a per SKU basis.

non-CBD brands
-- Martha Stewart health and wellness CBD products are seeing strong
consumer demand, with the brand already outselling over 94% of all

Vitamin Shoppe and Super Supplements retail locations nationwide.
-- Subsequent to quarter end, the Company launched CBD pet products
under the Martha Stewart CBD and SurityPro CBD brands.
-- BioSteel has established a direct-store-delivery ("DSD") network

strengthened distribution and strong consumer pull.

Corporation ("CRC") that will divest Canopy Growth's interest in
Canopy Rivers, increase the Company's direct conditional ownership
of U.S. MSO TerrAscend Corp. and increase Canopy Growth's ownership
of Vert Mirabel greenhouse. As additional consideration for the
assets being transferred and the termination of the royalty
agreement, Canopy Growth will make a cash payment to CRC of $115
million and issue an aggregate of 3,750,000 commons shares to CRC.
The Plan of Arrangement is subject to approval by shareholders of
Canopy Rivers Inc. at a special shareholder meeting that is expected

conditions.

Canadian Cannabis
-- Recreational B2B net sales were flat versus Q3 2020, as higher volume
from our flower products and increased contribution from Cannabis 2.0
product were offset by a negative mix shift to value flower products.
Recreational B2B net sales increased by 2% compared to Q2 2021 driven by
store openings across Canada and improved market share performance.
-- Recreational B2C net sales increased 33% versus Q3 2020 due primarily to
an increase in number of corporate stores as well as both Cannabis 1.0
products (dried flower, oils and soft gels) and Cannabis 2.0 products
driving higher average basket size. Recreational B2C net sales increased
8% versus Q2 2021 due to a full quarter of sales from ten new stores in
Alberta, and same store sales growth of 4% over Q2 2021 resulting from
seasonal sales and promotional programs.
-- Canadian medical net revenue increased 4% from Q3 2020 driven primarily
by a higher number of orders in Q3 2021.
International Cannabis
-- C3 revenue in Q3 2021 increased 19% over Q3 2020 in part due to market
growth. C3 revenue in Q3 2021 increased 30% over Q2 2021 due to the
resolution of a packaging issue with a distributor that limited sales in
Q2 2021.
-- Dried flower sales in Germany declined 2% in Q3 2021 over Q3 2020 due to
supply challenges and slower market growth in part driven by COVID 19
restrictions.
Strategic Businesses
-- S&B vaporizer revenue in Q3 2021 increased 53% over Q3 2020, benefiting
from strengthened distribution in the U.S., a strong consumer demand, a
broader product portfolio and strong seasonal sales.
-- This Works sales in Q3 2021 increased 32% over Q3 2020, benefitting from
strong organic growth driven by e-commerce sales and sales of the Stress
Check hand sanitizer launched in the UK and U.S. during fiscal 2021.
-- BioSteel sales increased due primarily to expanded distribution in the
U.S. that drove strong organic growth. Over half of BioSteel's sales
during the period came from the U.S. market.
The third quarter fiscal 2021 and third quarter fiscal 2020 financial results presented in this press release have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
