Auxly Reports Third Quarter 2026 Results
Planned Leamington investments target higher capacity, while quarterly net income declined despite revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Summary
Auxly Cannabis Group (CBWTF) reported third-quarter 2026 net revenue of $49.5 million, with growth driven by higher core-portfolio volumes and improved flower pricing. Revenue increased 24% year over year, while adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP earnings measure, rose 29% to $15.8 million. Finished-cannabis inventory margin remained 56%. Net income fell 34% to $13.6 million; the prior-year quarter included an $8.1 million after-tax settlement gain. Basic earnings per share declined to $0.13 from $0.21.
Cash reached $51.4 million at September 30, against $43.4 million of debt. Operating cash flow before working capital changes increased 28% to $14.8 million. Auxly anticipates capital investments of up to $30 million through 2028, including 2026 projects, with production capacity expected to increase 30% from 2025 levels. Nine-month revenue rose 21% to $135.0 million, while net income fell 39% to $24.8 million.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Outlook
Auxly remains focused on delivering sustainable, profitable growth by building on its leadership in the Canadian cannabis market. Auxly continues to advance its strategy through focused innovation, operational excellence, and prudent financial management. With a strong balance sheet, we are well-positioned to drive long-term shareholder value.
Auxly expects the Canadian recreational cannabis market will continue to benefit from the tailwinds of increasing social acceptability, capture of market share from the illicit market, the divergence of existing supply to international markets and limited capital availability to the cannabis sector. We believe many of these trends could persist over the long-term.
Auxly continues to see long-term potential in international markets and is actively evaluating export opportunities. We are well positioned to succeed internationally, supported by our strong brands, scalable production, and a strategic partnership with Imperial Brands. Auxly intends to invest in Auxly Leamington over the course of 2026 to prepare and position us for long-term international growth. Our deliberations towards international sales are purposefully rigorous and measured to ensure that international cannabis activities are accretive to profitability and that our focus on winning at home is not compromised.
Auxly believes it can continue to grow net revenue above market rates through product innovation, further investment in distribution and increased capacity at Auxly Leamington. Both innovation and output increases are expected to be funded from operating cash flow for the foreseeable future. Auxly plans to maintain profitability and conversion to cash flow through focused innovation, investment in efficiency and quality, and rigorous cost control.
The Company anticipates total capital investments of up to
Over the long-term, Auxly remains confident in its ability to deepen its leadership position in

Non- GAAP Measures
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures used in the cannabis industry and by the Company to assess operating performance removing the impacts and volatility of non-cash and other adjustments.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA used by the Company are reconciled with net income or loss from continuing operations of the Company, an IFRS measure, in the section "Results of Operations" in the MD&A dated November 11, 2026.
"Gross Margin on Finished Cannabis Inventory Sold" is a supplementary financial measure and is defined as net revenue less cost of finished cannabis inventory sold divided by net revenue. "Gross Profit Margin" is defined as gross profit divided by net revenue. Gross Profit Margin is a supplementary financial measure. "Debt" is defined as current and long-term debt and is a supplementary financial measure. It is a useful measure in managing the Company's capital structure and financing requirements.

Notice Regarding Forward Looking Information:
This news release contains certain "forward‐looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities law. Forward‐looking information is frequently characterized by words such as "plan", "continue", "expect", "project", "intend", "believe", "anticipate", "estimate", "may", "will", "potential", "proposed" and other similar words, or information that certain events or conditions "may" or "will" occur. This information is only a prediction. Various assumptions were used in drawing the conclusions or making the projections contained in the forward‐looking information throughout this news release. Forward‐looking information includes, but is not limited to: the proposed operation of Auxly, its subsidiaries and partners; the intention to grow the business, operations and existing and potential activities of Auxly; proposed timelines for the build‐out, expansion, licencing or commercialization of the Company's facilities and projects; the Company's execution of its innovative product development, commercialization strategy and expansion plans; the Company's intention to introduce innovative new cannabis products to the market and the timing thereof; the anticipated benefits of the Company's partnerships, research and development initiatives and other commercial arrangements; the expectation, timing and quantum of future revenues, Gross Margin on Finished Cannabis Inventory Sold, SG&A and of positive Adjusted EBITDA; expectations regarding the Company's expansion of sales, operations and investment into foreign jurisdictions; future legislative and regulatory developments involving cannabis and cannabis products; the timing and outcomes of regulatory or intellectual property decisions; the ability of the Company to maintain and grow its market share; the impact of the Share consolidation on future trading price, liquidity, marketability or attractive of the Shares; the relevance of Auxly's subsidiaries' current and proposed products with provincial purchasers and consumers; consumer preferences; political change; competition and other risks affecting the Company in particular and the cannabis industry generally.
A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from a conclusion, forecast or projection contained in the forward‐looking information in this release including, but not limited to, whether: the Company will be able to execute on its business strategy or achieve its goals; Auxly's subsidiaries are able to maintain the necessary governmental and regulatory authorizations to conduct business; the Company is able to successfully manage the integration of its various business units with its own; the Company's subsidiaries obtain and maintain all necessary governmental and regulatory permits and approvals for the operation of their facilities and the development of cannabis products, and whether such permits and approvals can be obtained in a timely manner; the Company will be able to successfully launch new product formats and enter into new markets; there is acceptance and demand for current and future Company products by consumers and provincial purchasers; the Company will be able to increase and maintain revenues, maintain positive Adjusted EBITDA, and/or achieve and maintain its target Gross Margin on Finished Cannabis Inventory Sold; the market price of the Shares following the Share consolidation may not increase proportionally to the consolidation ratio; there can be no assurance that the Share consolidation will achieve the Company's intended objectives, including improving the trading price, liquidity, marketability or attractiveness of the Shares; risks relating to the overall macroeconomic environment, which may impact customer spending, the Company's costs and margins, including tariffs (and related retaliatory measures), the levels of inflation, and interest rates; and general economic, financial market, legislative, regulatory, competitive and political conditions in which the Company and its subsidiaries and partners operate will remain the same. Additional risk factors are disclosed in the annual information form of the Company for the financial year ended December 31, 2025 dated March 25, 2026.
New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all of those factors or to assess in advance the impact of each such factor on the Company's business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward‐looking information.
