NEW YORK and LEAMINGTON, Ontario, Oct. 04, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tilray Brands, Inc. (“Tilray”, “our”, “we” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: TLRY; TSX: TLRY), a leading global cannabis-lifestyle and consumer packaged goods company, today reported financial results for its first quarter fiscal year 2024 ended August 31, 2023. All financial information in this press release is reported in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
Irwin D. Simon, Tilray Brands’ Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Today, Tilray Brands is the most diversified global cannabis-lifestyle and CPG company in the world with four distinct and complementary business segments – medical and adult-use cannabis, beverages including, craft beer, spirits, ready to drink mixed cocktails in a can, non-alcoholic drinks, THC and CBD beverages, wellness products, and medical distribution. The balance we have brought to our diversified business model has positioned Tilray Brands as the #1 Canadian cannabis LP, the market leader in medical cannabis across Europe, a leader in the hemp foods industry, and a formidable player in the fast-growing craft beverage-alcohol industry with a growing leadership position. We have strategically diversified our company globally over the past several years and, as a result, Tilray is now ideally positioned to capture a wide range of opportunities across multiple industries driving value through organic and acquisitive revenue growth, operating efficiencies, and improved margins and profitability. We will continue to invest in our future and accelerate our vision of becoming a multi-billion-dollar company with a portfolio of best-in-class brands.”
Mr. Simon continued, “Since the beginning of our FY 2024, we have closed on three transactions: HEXO Corp. in June, Truss Beverage Co. in August, and the acquisition of eight beer and beverage brands from Anheuser-Busch earlier this week. The HEXO and Truss acquisitions have already boosted our competitive cannabis positioning in Canada, the largest, federally legalized cannabis market in the world, by increasing our leading market share, while the beer and beverage brands acquisition has made us the 5th largest craft beer brewer in the U.S., up from the 9th position. We are now working on the seamless integration of these acquisitions into our efficient operating platforms by leveraging our deep CPG expertise and established track record to drive revenue through product innovation and expanded distribution and maximize cost savings through synergy realization.”
Financial Highlights – First Quarter Fiscal Year 2024

- Cannabis net revenue increased 20% to $70 million in the first quarter compared to $59 million in the prior year quarter. On a constant currency basis, net cannabis revenue was $71 million in the quarter, up 22% from the prior year quarter.
- Cannabis gross margin decreased to 28% in the quarter from 51% in the prior year quarter and cannabis adjusted gross margin decreased to 35% in the quarter from 51% in the prior year quarter, reflecting the prior year’s inclusion of the HEXO advisory fee revenue and the completion in our first quarter of a wholesale transaction designed to optimize inventory levels and generate $3.1 million of cash.
- Beverage alcohol net revenue increased 17% to $24 million in the first quarter from $21 million in the prior year quarter.
- Beverage alcohol gross margin increased to 53% in the quarter from 47% in the prior year quarter and adjusted gross beverage alcohol margin was 56% in the quarter compared to 53% in the prior quarter, reflecting an increase in beer as a percentage of sales mix along with the positive impact of the Montauk acquisition.

- Achieved $17.1 million in annualized run-rate savings (and $2.9 million in actual cash cost savings) as part of the $27 million synergy plan related to the HEXO acquisition. We are on target to achieve our integration plan goals and we are confident HEXO will prove to be a successful acquisition.
- Achieved $6.8 million in annualized run-rate savings in connection with the $8.0 million cost reduction plan in Europe.

Operating Highlights
Leadership in Global Cannabis Operations, Brands, and Market Share, Further Solidified through Recent HEXO and Truss Acquisitions
- Tilray grew its #1 cannabis market share position to 13.4% in Q1 2024. The Company continues to hold the #1 market position across all major markets and a leading share across most product categories. Tilray is #1 in cannabis Flower, Oils, Concentrates and THC Beverages, and #2 in Pre-Rolls, #4 in Vape, and in the Top 10 in all other categories. The Company closed on the HEXO transaction in June 2023, significantly bolstering its position supported by low-cost operations and complementary distribution across all Canadian geographies.
- By capitalizing on the Company’s unrivaled cultivation and distribution operations and the leadership team’s depth of commercial and regulatory expertise, Tilray is focused on growing its leading market share in medical cannabis in the countries in which it distributes today and achieving early-mover advantage in new countries as cannabis legalization proliferates across Europe and other international markets. During Q1, the increase in international cannabis revenue was largely driven by expansion into emerging international medical markets.
Maximizing the Growth Potential of U.S. CPG and Craft-Beverage Lifestyle Brand Portfolio
- During Q1, Tilray made substantial strides in performance across its five craft-beverage brands including SweetWater Brewing Company, Breckenridge Distillery, and Montauk Brewing Company, growing revenue in its beverage alcohol segment by 17% and adjusted gross profit by 24%. Tilray’s wellness brand, Manitoba Harvest, maintained its brand leadership position in branded hemp with 52% market share and increased its gross margin to 29% from 26% through price increases.
- On September 29, 2023, Tilray closed on its acquisition of eight beer and beverage brands from Anheuser-Busch (NYSE: BUD). The acquired brands, consisting of Shock Top, Breckenridge Brewery, Blue Point Brewing Company, 10 Barrel Brewing Company, Redhook Brewery, Widmer Brothers Brewing, Square Mile Cider Company, and HiBall Energy, possess strong consumer loyalty and further diversify Tilray’s growing U.S. beverage alcohol segment. Their expected sales volume elevate Tilray Brands to the 5th largest position in the high-growth U.S. craft beer market, up from the 9th position.
- Upon federal cannabis legalization in the U.S., Tilray is well-positioned to immediately leverage its strong U.S. leadership position and strategic strengths across distribution and brands to include THC-infused products to maximize all commercial opportunities and drive significant additional revenue in adult-use cannabis through expanded recognition and distribution.
Fiscal Year 2024 Guidance
For its fiscal year ending May 31, 2024, the Company is reiterating its adjusted EBITDA target of $68 million to $78 million representing growth of 11% to 27% as compared to fiscal year 2023. In addition, the Company expects to generate positive adjusted free cash flow.
Management’s guidance for adjusted EBITDA is provided on a non-GAAP basis and excludes transaction expenses, restructuring charges, litigation costs, facility start-up and closure costs, lease expense, purchase price accounting step-up, changes in fair value of contingent consideration and other items carried at fair value, non-operating income (expenses), interest expense, net, income tax expense and other non-recurring items that may be incurred during the Company’s fiscal year 2024, which the Company will continue to identify as it reports its future financial results. Management’s guidance for adjusted free cash flow is provided on a non-GAAP basis and excludes our growth capex, projected integration costs related to HEXO and the cash income taxes related to Aphria Diamond.
The Company cannot reconcile its expected adjusted EBITDA to net income or adjusted free cash flow to operating cash flow under “Fiscal Year 2024 Guidance” without unreasonable effort because of certain items that impact net income and other reconciling metrics are out of the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted at this time.

Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “forecast,” “future,” “should,” “could,” “enable,” “potential,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “project,” “will,” “would” and the negative of these terms or similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Certain material factors, estimates, goals, projections or assumptions were used in drawing the conclusions contained in the forward-looking statements throughout this communication.
Forward-looking statements include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs, projections, outlook, analyses or current expectations concerning, among other things: the Company’s ability to become the world’s leading cannabis-focused consumer branded company; the Company’s ability to achieve long term profitability; the Company’s ability to achieve operational scale, market share, distribution, profitability and revenue growth in particular business lines and markets; the Company’s ability to successfully achieve revenue growth, production and supply chain efficiencies, synergies and cost savings; the Company’s ability to generate $68-$78 million of Adjusted EBITDA and expectation to be cash-flow positive in its operating business in fiscal year 2024; the Company’s expected revenue growth, sales volume, profitability, synergies and accretion related to any of its acquisitions; expected opportunities upon U.S. federal legalization; the Company’s anticipated investments and acquisitions, including in organic and strategic growth, partnership efforts, product offerings and other initiatives; and the Company’s ability to commercialize new and innovative products.
Many factors could cause actual results, performance or achievement to be materially different from any forward-looking statements, and other risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that the Company deems immaterial could also cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements contained herein. For a more detailed discussion of these risks and other factors, see the most recently filed annual information form of the Company and the Annual Report on Form 10-K (and other periodic reports filed with the SEC) of the Company made with the SEC and available on EDGAR.

Use of Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and the accompanying tables include non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted gross margin, Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow, constant currency presentations of revenue and cash and marketable securities. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented provide useful additional information to investors about current trends in the Company’s operations and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of operations. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures. In addition, these non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation and items being excluded. They should be read only in connection with the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows presented in accordance with GAAP.
Certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are not reconciled to the comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures. The Company is not able to reconcile these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts because the Company is unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the type and extent of certain items that would be expected to impact GAAP measures but would not impact the non-GAAP measures. Such items may include litigation and related expenses, transaction costs, impairments, foreign exchange movements and other items. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company’s GAAP financial results.
The Company believes presenting net sales at constant currency provides useful information to investors because it provides transparency to underlying performance in the Company’s consolidated net sales by excluding the effect that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations have on period-to-period comparability given the volatility in foreign currency exchange markets. To present this information for historical periods, current period net sales for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average monthly exchange rates in effect during the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, rather than at the actual average monthly exchange rate in effect during the current period of the current fiscal year. As a result, the foreign currency impact is equal to the current year results in local currencies multiplied by the change in average foreign currency exchange rate between the current fiscal period and the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) before income tax benefits, net; interest expense, net; non-operating income (expense), net; amortization; stock-based compensation; change in fair value of contingent consideration; purchase price accounting step-up; facility start-up and closure costs; lease expense; litigation costs; restructuring costs and transaction (income) costs. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, has been provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release. Adjusted gross profit, is calculated as gross profit adjusted to exclude the impact of inventory valuation adjustment and purchase price accounting valuation step-up. A reconciliation of Adjusted gross profit, excluding purchase price accounting valuation step-up, to gross profit, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, has been provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release. Adjusted gross margin, excluding inventory valuation adjustments and purchase price accounting valuation step-up, is calculated as revenue less cost of sales adjusted to add back inventory valuation adjustments and amortization of inventory step-up, divided by revenue. A reconciliation of Adjusted gross margin, excluding inventory valuation adjustments and purchase price accounting valuation step-up, to gross margin, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, has been provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release. Free cash flow is comprised of two GAAP measures which are net cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities less investments in capital and intangible assets, net. A reconciliation of net cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities to free cash flow, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, has been provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release. Adjusted free cash flow is comprised of two GAAP measures which are net cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities less investments in capital and intangible assets, net, and the exclusion of growth CAPEX from investments in capital and intangible assets, net, which excludes the amount of capital expenditures that are considered to be associated with growth of future operations rather than to maintain the existing operations of the Company, and excludes our projected integration costs related to HEXO and the cash income taxes related to Aphria Diamond to align with management’s prescribed guidance. A reconciliation of net cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities to adjusted free cash flow, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, has been provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release. Constant currency presentations of revenue are used to normalize the effects of foreign currency. To present this information for historical periods, current period net sales for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar are translated into U.S. Dollars at the average monthly exchange rates in effect during the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year rather than at the actual average monthly exchange rate in effect during the current period of the current fiscal year. As a result, the foreign currency impact is equal to the current year results in local currencies multiplied by the change in average foreign currency exchange rate between the current fiscal period and the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. A reconciliation of prior year revenue to constant currency revenue the most directly comparable GAAP measure, has been provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release. Cash and marketable securities are comprised of two GAAP measures, cash and cash equivalents added to marketable securities. The Company’s management believes that this presentation provides useful information to management, analysts and investors regarding certain additional financial and business trends relating to its short-term liquidity position by combing these two GAAP metrics.

Management Commentary
“With the April 1st cannabis legalization in Germany, we are augmenting our focus and resources on the German market, where we expect to see the biggest growth potential, and the best return on investment. While it is still too early to make any predictions, our sales in Germany almost doubled during the month of April,” said Oren Shuster, Chief Executive Officer of IMC. “Looking back on the first month post legalization in Germany, I see that we have the infrastructure and the supply agreements in place to continue delivering the accelerated growth we have already seen in April. We will also ensure that we have the necessary resources in place for success.”
“In 2023 we completely restructured, becoming a very lean and agile company, leaning into active cost management. This process is reflected in the numbers, our G&A decreased 27% vs Q1 2023” said Uri Birenberg, Chief Financial Officer of IMC. “While our results have recovered from the impact of the Israel-Hamas war, our revenue was still effected by both an unfavorable exchange rate, as well as price reductions to sell off inventory.”

The Company will host a Zoom web conference call today at 9:00 a.m. ET to discuss the results, followed by a question-and-answer session for the investment community. Investors are invited to register by clicking here. All relevant information will be sent upon registration.

Q1 2024 Financial Results
- Revenues for the first quarter of 2024 were $12.1 million compared to $12.5 million in the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of 3%. The decrease is mainly due an exchange rate effect of about $0.2 million and decrease in avg. price per sale due to increased competition.
- Gross profit for the first quarter of 2024 was $1.8 million, compared to $2.9 million in Q1 2024, a decrease of 39%. The downside is attributed mainly to the slow-moving stock that was moved out at a lower price and an exchange rate difference totaling $0.4 million and $0.64 million cost of sales loss due to an inventory erase of the slow-moving stock. Company fair value adjustment was $0 and $0.4 million for the Q1 2024 and Q1 2023 respectively.
- Total Dried Flower sold in Q1 2024 was approximately 1,873 kg with an average selling price of $5.68 per gram, compared to approximately 1,842kg in Q1 2023, with an average selling price of $6.59 per gram. This difference is mainly due to increased competition within the retail segment, and mid-range stock discounts to move out slow moving stock.
- Total operating expenses in Q1 2024 were $7.4 million compared to $6.5 million in Q1 2023. The increase is due to the other operating expenses related to Oranim Deal revoke, with an expected losses of $2.8 million. Adjusting for this one-time losses, Q1 2024 operating expenses were $4.6 million compared to $6.5 million in Q1 2023, a decrease of 29%.
- G&A Expenses in Q1 2024 were $2.3 million, compared to $3.2 million in Q1 2023, a decrease of 28%. The decrease in the G&A expense is attributable mainly to salaries and professional services of $0.64 million.
- Selling and Marketing Expenses in Q1 2024 were $2.3 million, compared to $2.8 million in Q1 2023, a decrease of 18% mainly due to a decrease in Salaries and professional services of $0.5 million.
- Net Loss from continuing operations in Q1 2024 was $6.0 million, compared to $0.9 million in Q12023.
- Basic and diluted Loss per Share in Q1 2024 was $0.42, compared to a loss of $0.05 per Share in Q1 2023.
- Non-IFRS Adjusted EBITDA loss in Q1 2024 was $2.1 million, compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.9 million in Q1 2023 an increase of 10%.
- Cash and Cash Equivalents as of March 31, 2024, were $1.0 million compared to $1.8 million in December 31, 2023.
- Total assets as of March 31, 2024, were $41.1 million, compared to $48.8 million in December 31, 2023, a decrease of 16%. The decrease is mainly attributed to the goodwill reduction due to Oranim agreement cancelation of about $2.8M, a reduction in Inventory of $2.1 million, reduction of Cash and cash equivalents of $0.8M and reduction in Trade payables of $1.2 million.
- Total Liabilities as of March 31, 2024, were $32.8 million, compared to $35.1 in December 31, 2023, a decrease of about 7%. The decrease was mainly due to the reduction in other accounts payables and accrued expenses of $1.8 million and reduction in the PUT option liability of $0.7 million.

Non-IFRS Measures
This press release makes reference to “Gross Margin” and “Adjusted EBITDA”, which are financial measures that are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These measures are provided as complementary information to the Company’s IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these measures should neither be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS.
For an explanation of how management defines Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA, see the Company’s management’s discussion and analysis for the period ended March 31, 2024, available under the Company’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar.
We reconcile these non-IFRS financial measures to the most comparable IFRS measures as set out below.

Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as “seek”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “plan”, “estimate”, “expect”, “likely” and “intend” and statements that an event or result “may”, “will”, “should”, “could” or “might” occur or be achieved and other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on the estimates and opinions of management on the date the statements are made. In the press release, such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements relating to: the impact of the Israel-Hamas war on the Company, including its operations and the medical cannabis industry in Israel; the timing and impact of the legalization of medicinal cannabis in Germany, including, the Company having it “all in house”; the Company being positioned to take advantage of the legalization; the Company’s growth in 2024; the market growth for medicinal cannabis in Germany; the stated benefits of the Company’s EU-GMP processing facility and an EU-GDP logistics center; the Company to host a teleconference meeting as stated; and the Company’s stated goals, scope, and nature of operations in Germany, Israel, and other jurisdictions the Company may operate.
Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect, including but not limited to: the Company’s ability to focus and resources to achieve sustainable and profitable growth in its highest value markets; the Company’s ability to mitigate the impact of the Israel-Hamas war on the Company; the Company’s ability to take advantage of the legalization of medicinal cannabis in Germany; the Company’s ability to host a teleconference meeting as stated; and the Company’s ability to carry out its stated goals, scope, and nature of operations in Germany, Israel, and other jurisdictions the Company may operate.
The above lists of forward-looking statements and assumptions are not exhaustive. Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements due to a number of factors and risks. These include: the failure of the Company to comply with applicable regulatory requirements in a highly regulated industry; unexpected changes in governmental policies and regulations in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates; the Company’s ability to continue to meet the listing requirements of the Canadian Securities Exchange and the NASDAQ Capital Market; any unexpected failure to maintain in good standing or renew its licenses; the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group“) to deliver on their sales commitments or growth objectives; the reliance of the Group on third-party supply agreements to provide sufficient quantities of medical cannabis to fulfil the Group’s obligations; the Group’s possible exposure to liability, the perceived level of risk related thereto, and the anticipated results of any litigation or other similar disputes or legal proceedings involving the Group; the impact of increasing competition; any lack of merger and acquisition opportunities; adverse market conditions; the inherent uncertainty of production quantities, qualities and cost estimates and the potential for unexpected costs and expenses; risks of product liability and other safety-related liability from the usage of the Group’s cannabis products; supply chain constraints; reliance on key personnel; the risk of defaulting on existing debt; risks surrounding war, conflict and civil unrest in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, including the impact of the Israel-Hamas war on the Company, its operations and the medical cannabis industry in Israel; risks associated with the Company focusing on the Israel and Germany markets; the inability of the Company to achieve sustainable profitability and/or increase shareholder value; the inability of the Company to actively manage costs and/or improve margins; the inability of the company to grow and/or maintain sales; the inability of the Company to meet its goals and/or strategic plans; the inability of the Company to reduce costs and/or maintain revenues; the Company’s inability to take advantage of the legalization of medicinal cannabis in Germany; and the Company’s inability to host a teleconference meeting as stated.
