Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Summary

(in thousands of Canadian dollars, unaudited)		Net Revenue	Gross margin percentage	Net loss from continuing operations	Adjusted EBITDA2	Free cash flow3
Reported		$74,761	32 %	$(121,896)	$(3,469)	$(28,181)
vs. Q3 FY2024		(5 %)	(400) bps	47 %	61 %	17 %

• Net revenue in Q3 FY2025 decreased 5% compared to the third quarter ended December 31, 2023 ("Q3 FY2024"). Excluding net revenue from businesses divested during the prior fiscal year, net revenue increased 8% driven primarily by growth in Canada medical, international markets and Storz & Bickel.
• Gross margin decreased by 400 basis points ("bps") to 32% in Q3 FY2025 compared to Q3 FY2024 primarily due to the incremental costs related to the Claybourne infused pre-roll launch in Canada, and an increase in indirect costs of Storz & Bickel vaporizer devices partially offset by stronger sales of higher-margin medical cannabis products.
• Operating loss from continuing operations was $24MM in Q3 FY2025, representing an improvement of 61% compared to Q3 FY2024. The improvement in Q3 FY2025 was driven primarily by a reduction in operating expenses.

• Free cash flow was an outflow of $28MM in Q3 FY2025, representing a 17% improvement compared to Q3 FY2024, primarily driven by a reduction in cash interest expenses.
• Total debt decreased to $442MM at December 31, 2024 from $554MM at September 30, 2024 primarily due to an early prepayment that reduced the Company's senior secured term loan.

• International markets cannabis gross margins increased 100 bps to 41% during Q3 FY2025 compared to Q3 FY2024 primarily due to a shift in sales mix to higher-margin Poland.

Storz & Bickel Highlights

Canopy USA Highlights

• With the completed acquisition of Acreage Holdings, Inc. ("Acreage") by Canopy USA, LLC ("Canopy USA") on December 9, 2024, Canopy USA has moved forward with the full integration of Mountain High Products, LLC, Wana Wellness, LLC and The Cima Group, LLC (collectively, "Wana"), Lemurian, Inc.

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure used by management that is not defined by U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure for investors because it provides meaningful and useful financial information, as this measure demonstrates the operating performance of businesses. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as the reported net income (loss), adjusted to exclude income tax recovery (expense); other income (expense), net; loss on equity method investments; share-based compensation expense; depreciation and amortization expense; asset impairment and restructuring costs; restructuring costs recorded in cost of goods sold; and charges related to the flow-through of inventory step-up on business combinations, and further adjusted to remove acquisition, divestiture, and other costs. Asset impairments related to periodic changes to the Company's supply chain processes are not excluded from Adjusted EBITDA given their occurrence through the normal course of core operational activities. The Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation is presented within this news release and explained in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2024 (the "Form 10-Q") [to be] filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure used by management that is not defined by U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Management believes that free cash flow presents meaningful information regarding the amount of cash flow required to maintain and organically expand our business, and that the free cash flow measure provides meaningful information regarding the Company's liquidity requirements. This measure is calculated as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of and deposits on property, plant and equipment. The free cash flow reconciliation is presented within this news release and explained in the Form 10-Q [to be] filed with the SEC.

Adjusted gross margin and adjusted gross margin percentage are non-GAAP measures used by management that are not defined by U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Management believes that adjusted gross margin and adjusted gross margin percentage present meaningful and useful financial information as these measures provide insights into the gross margin performance of the business. Adjusted gross margin is calculated as gross margin excluding restructuring and other charges recorded in cost of goods sold, and charges related to the flow-through of inventory step-up on business combinations. Adjusted gross margin percentage is calculated as adjusted gross margin divided by net revenue. The adjusted gross margin and adjusted gross margin percentage reconciliation is presented within this news release and explained in the Form 10-Q [to be] filed with the SEC.

5 In Q3 FY2025, we are reporting our financial results for the following four reportable segments: (i) Canada cannabis; (ii) international markets cannabis; (iii) Storz & Bickel; and (iv) This Works. On December 18, 2023, the Company completed the sale of This Works and as of such date, the results of This Works are no longer included in the Company's financial results. 6 For Q3 FY2025, amount is net of excise taxes of $9.4MM and other revenue adjustments of $0.9MM (Q3 FY2024 - $9.7MM and $1.1MM, respectively).  7 For Q3 FY2025, amount is net of excise taxes of $2.1MM (Q3 FY2024 - $1.8MM). 8 For Q3 FY2025, amount reflects other revenue adjustments of $0.1MM (Q3 FY2024 - $0.3MM).
