Management Commentary
"Our successful first full quarter with recreational sales in
Canada reinforces our long held
strategy of making meaningful investments early in order to secure
market share," said Bruce Linton,
Chairman & Co-CEO, Canopy Growth. "With a strong cash position,
we added strategic assets and IP through acquisitions to accelerate
the sophistication of our inputs with ebbu, and our consumer-facing
outputs with Storz and Bickel."
"The Canadian recreational cannabis market will be dominated in
the long term by businesses delivering excellent products and
consumer experiences. Sales from the first wave of products and
retail environments launched in the third quarter demonstrate that
we are capturing consumers' attention."
Concluded Linton, "We have developed an unprecedented and
unparalleled fully integrated platform at scale and will continue
to expand by making strategic production investments in regions
with federally permissible paths to market for our cannabis and
hemp offerings. We believe this strategy will develop a significant
and sustained return on invested capital over the long-term."
Product & Production Summary
Oils, including the Company's Softgel capsules, accounted for
33% of product revenue (reported net revenue excluding other
revenue) in the three months ended December
31, 2018, up from 23% of product revenue in the same period
last year, demonstrating an increased demand for value-added
formats. During the third quarter of fiscal 2019,
approximately 30% and 42% of recreational and medical sales,
respectively, were comprised of oils, including Softgel
capsules.
To position Canopy Growth to supply the significant quantities
of cannabis oil that the Company expects will be required to meet
the needs of future value added products including vape pens and
beverages, the Company took steps during the quarter to augment its
owned current and planned extraction capacity by entering into
extraction supply related agreements with Valens GroWorks Corp.,
Medipharm Labs Corp., and POS Holdings Inc. ("POS Holdings").
In addition, during the quarter, the Company completed the terms of
a financing related agreement with POS Holdings to lock in
dedicated extraction support to Canopy Growth.
In the transition from a "medical marijuana" business to a
business producing clinically proven cannabinoid therapies, the
Company experienced a decline in its Canadian medical market demand
in the quarter. The decline may be attributed to the initial
adjustment to the available legal recreational market which
patients can also access. Additionally, medical revenues
reflected a migration to a tighter medical product range as well as
elevating and re-focusing Spectrum Cannabis to a more pure
medical/pharma focused brand proposition.
International medical revenues in the three months ended
December 31, 2018, consisting
primarily of sales in Germany,
increased by 170 percent over the same quarter in the prior year to
$2.7 million.
Other revenue for the quarter was $7.5
million, coming from partner clinic revenue, merchandise
sales, and device sales by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary
Storz & Bickel following the close of its acquisition on
December 6, 2018.
Canadian Regulated Adult Use Market – Cannabis
Sales
The Company placed significant focus on shipping core products,
backed by deep inventory levels, into physical retail store
networks across the country. In the face of strong product
demand and overall sector supply shortages, the inventory levels
have served to improve the availability of the Company's products
on retail store shelves. Also, at the end of the quarter, the
Company began shipping value-added Softgel capsules and pre-rolled
joint products in recreational channels across the country.
Canadian Regulated Adult Use Market – Retail
Footprint
Canopy Growth finalized its acquisition of HIKU during the
second quarter, adding the Tokyo Smoke retail channel to complement
its Tweed banner stores. Offering two distinct customer experiences
will allow the Company to appeal to various consumer demographics
without saturating any single segment. Tokyo Smoke operates four
corporate owned retail cannabis stores and an e-commerce platform
in Manitoba. Tweed retail now has
10 corporate owned locations selling cannabis across Newfoundland & Labrador and Manitoba, plus a licensed store in
Saskatchewan and an e-commerce
presence in Manitoba and
Nunavut. The Company plans
to add, in provinces with private retail models, 20 additional
Tweed stores and 20 additional Tokyo Smoke stores. In the province
of Ontario, the company is
exploring partnership opportunities to ensure consumers in that
market can experience the distinct Tweed and Tokyo Smoke retail
experiences while working within the provincial
framework.
Third Quarter Fiscal 2019 Gross
Margin1 Summary
The Company is in the final stages of completing its Canadian
production and extraction platform. The cost of sales includes the
impact of operating costs of cannabis cultivation subsidiaries not
fully commissioned, including our Delta greenhouse and a number of zones at the
Aldergrove greenhouse facility,
both going through fit-ups, as well as Edmonton and Fredericton, also in construction during the
quarter. Vert Mirabel also
initiated its first pilot grow cycle, which combined with the other
non-producing assets to result in higher non-recurring overheads.
Cost of sales also included costs associated with developing edible
and beverage products for which markets will be available later in
calendar 2019. Excluding the costs associated with these
non-cultivating subsidiaries totaling approximately $13.1 million and absorbing medical excise taxes
of $2.1 million in order to ease the
burden imposed on patients, the gross margin2 before the
fair value impacts in cost of sales and other inventory charges
would have been $33.5 million or 40%
of sales. Gross margin was also impacted by lower average
recreational business to business prices, as compared to historic
direct to consumer medical sales.
Greenhouse facilities operate in zones. Aldergrove, Delta and Mirabel have been planted in a manner that
allows for ongoing harvests, rather than one large harvest, to
increase the utilization of assets such as post harvest processes
and provide for a steady supply of product going forward. The
Aldergrove greenhouse began its
third harvest earlier in the current quarter and the Delta facility is expected to begin its next
harvest later in the current quarter.
The Company believes gross margins will expand in the coming
quarters when all of its cultivation facilities reach full
utilization and cycle through initial pilot harvests to be high
performing assets. In addition, margins are expected to
expand when edibles and beverages are introduced later in calendar
2019 with lower costs of active ingredients per serving.

Businesses built on top quality product and customer service
require upfront investment. Management believes foundational
investment is required to build the Company's significant and
diversified production platform, flexible distribution capability,
world-leading brands, retail capabilities, medical and recreational
sales and customer support capabilities. Canopy Growth also
requires robust information technology infrastructure,
international business development and operations. These
investments directly impacted profitability in the quarter but
represent prudent long term investments to strengthen the Company's
global leadership position. Both sales and marketing and general
and administrative expenses were up significantly relative to the
same period last year. Management expects these expenses to
level off in the near term in its Canadian operations.
The Company's Applied Science team is researching a variety of
intellectual property opportunities including those relating to
growth patterns under different environmental scenarios and the
genetics of various strains, the development of patent pending
technology related to equipment that the Company has engineered
specifically for the cannabis industry to be incorporated in Canopy
Growth's operations and ongoing R&D work being performed in the
Company's Dealers License Area that is expected to lead to the
development of new cannabis-based product form factors that will
enter the market when permitted. With the acquisition of Canopy
Health Innovations, the additional scope of R&D being
undertaken and additional resourcing necessary, R&D expenses
were up significantly over the same period last year. Applied
Science expenses will continue to increase as the Company
aggressively pursues IP. Advancing scientific understanding through
plant science, technological applications, and clinical trials is
the fastest path to developing sustainable high margin
products.
Acquisition-related expenses in the third quarter period ended
December 31, 2018 were primarily
related to the acquisitions of the assets of ebbu Inc. and Storz
& Bickel and the financing of POS Holdings. In addition, costs
were incurred due to the ongoing evaluation of potential
acquisitions performed during the period and increased legal,
accounting and strategic business consulting services required to
complete or evaluate the transactions. The Company is likely
to acquire additional strategic assets in the future as it pursues
its business strategy.
In respect of the recorded stock compensation expense, in
practice, all employees of the Company receive stock options as
part of their compensation package. Acquisition-related milestone
payments based on future performance and related criteria have been
treated as stock compensation expense instead of being allocated to
the purchase price.
Third Quarter Fiscal 2019 Adjusted EBITDA
Summary (Non-GAAP measure)2
Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter fiscal 2019 amounted to a
loss of $75.1 million compared to a
loss of $5.7 million in the same
period last year.
Year-to-date, Adjusted EBITDA amounted to a loss of $69.0 million compared to a loss of $14.4 million in the same period last year.
The Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled and explained in the
Management's Discussion & Analysis under "Adjusted EBITDA
(Non-GAAP Measure)" a copy of which will be filed on SEDAR and
EDGAR after financial markets close today. The Adjusted EBITDA is
reconciled in a table elsewhere in this press
release.
Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2019 Other Income
and Net Earnings Summary
Other income of $235.2 million for
the three months ended December 31,
2018 was primarily made up of fair value changes on
financial assets and financial liabilities. The amount includes a
fair value gain of $185.8 million
arising from the decrease in the fair value of the senior
convertible notes from the end of the second quarter to the end of
the third quarter and a fair value gain of $36.4 million on financial assets, principally
the TerrAscend and Slang warrants.
The Company also had interest income of $18.6 million on cash and marketable
securities. This income was partly offset by a loss of $6.3 million as a result of the TerrAscend
restructuring which resulted in the exchange of the TerrAscend
shares and warrants for the non-voting, non-participating
exchangeable shares.
The Company recorded an income tax expense of $1.0 million for the three months ended
December 31, 2018. In the
comparative period last year, the Company recorded income tax
expense of $7.6 million.
Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2018 was $74.9 million compared to a net income of
$11.0 million in the comparative
period last year.
Other income of $63.5 million for
the nine months ended December 31,
2018 is primarily made up of fair value changes on financial
assets and financial liabilities, and a gain on the acquisition of
the Company's unowned interest in CHI.
The Company recorded an income tax recovery of $1.4 million for the nine months ended
December 31, 2018. In the comparative
period last year, the Company recorded income tax expense of
$9.6 million.
Net loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 was $346.7 million compared to net income of
$227 thousand in the comparative
period last year.
Update on Intellectual Property Development
During the third quarter, Canopy Animal Health ("CAH") completed
certain pre-clinical studies related to the treatment of
anxiety in companion animals using CBD. In addition, CAH completed
certain cannabis consumption safety trials which produced data
critical to validating the safety of cannabis-based therapeutic
products for animals.
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, Canopy Health Innovations
began Phase IIb "in‑human" clinical trials to evaluate the use of
medical cannabis in the treatment of insomnia. The trials are being
conducted in collaboration with a leading Canadian research
institution.
During the quarter, the Company acquired the assets, including
over 40 cannabis-related patent applications filed representing
over 1,500 invenctions, of Colorado-based hemp researcher, ebbu.
Intellectual property and R&D advancements achieved by ebbu's
team apply directly to Canopy Growth's hemp and THC-rich cannabis
genetic breeding program. The Company believes applying ebbu's IP
has the potential to reduce the cost of CBD production. In
addition, ebbu's IP portfolio will contribute to the clinical
formulations program being executed by Canopy Health
Innovations.
The Company's Intellectual Property portfolio includes 32 issued
patents and over 140 patent applications covering hardware, product
formulation, genetics, production innovation and medical
treatments.
Update on Branding and Market Activities
The Company adheres to a disciplined approach to portfolio
expansion as it continues to identify new market opportunities by
identifying the needs that brands could satisfy for adults in the
legalized cannabis market and assessing both the economic appeal of
meeting these needs and their fit with the positioning of existing
brands. Canopy Growth has built a portfolio of belief-led and
purpose-driven brands, with authentic origin stories and distinct
points of view on the world, spanning both local and global
provenance.
The Company brought Tweed, the Company's core brand, to the
recreational market. As part of the national launch strategy,
Tweed has had a strong focus on building awareness through
exclusive media partnerships, experiential activations, and
proprietary responsibility programs like the "Don't Drive High"
program undertaken in collaboration with Uber & MADD Canada.
The focus to engage and educate consumers across the country both
pre and post-launch, along with Tweed's retail store network has
resulted in Tweed securing aided awareness of 20% amongst cannabis
consumers and intenders. In addition to its core consumer
brand, Tweed, Canadian adults also saw the successful recreational
launch of Tokyo Smoke and DOJA, as well as partner brands LBS and
DNA Genetics.
During the quarter, Canopy Growth also launched new and improved
product offerings like oral cannabis sprays and pre-rolled joints
made by our custom-built, proprietary automated cannabis joint
rolling machines right in the heart of our Smiths Falls headquarters. The Company also
unveiled its one-of-a-kind custom packaging - a unique and
proprietary child-resistant, air-tight tin. Canopy Growth's
strategic approach to supply and distribution allowed the Company
to provide Canadian adults from coast-to-coast with a diverse
offering of high-quality cannabis products.
The Company is also developing product line extensions and
format-specific brands for value-added product categories including
vape, beverage and other products that are expected to be permitted
for sale in the fourth quarter of calendar 2019.
Investing to Capitalize on Hemp and CBD Product
Opportunities
The Company has built on decades of experience of its
world-class hemp team to develop proprietary and patent-pending
technological solutions to optimize the speed and efficiency of
harvest, post-harvest, and storage processes required to run
field-scale hemp operations. In the third quarter, Canopy
Growth's hemp division harvested thousands of acres of CBD-rich
hemp genetics in Saskatchewan.
Once extracted, the Company expects a yield of thousands of
kilograms of hemp-derived CBD.
In the United States, the
Agricultural and Nutrition Act, H.R. 2 (the "Farm Bill")
passed on December 20, 2018.
The passage of the Farm Bill,which included the language of the
Hemp Farming Act of 2018, expands opportunities related to the
cultivation and processing of Hemp to produce CBD-based products in
the United States. On January 14, 2019, Canopy Growth
announced that it had been granted a hemp processing and production
license by New York State and its
commitment to invest in the state of New
York to establish a Hemp Industrial Park. The Hemp
Industrial Park will be home to large-scale production capabilities
focused on hemp extraction and product manufacturing to serve the
New York state market as well as
markets around the United States
as permitted by regulations. Canopy Growth intends to invest
between $100 million USD and
$150 million USD in its New York operations. Canopy Growth is
developing a broad portfolio of CBD product offerings, to be
broadly distributed across multiple channels, with a view to
establishing category leadership in each CBD vertical
market. The Company will look to leverage strategic
acquisitions and partners to accelerate growth in the CBD consumer
product market in the United
States.
CFO Transition
Canopy Growth's EVP & Chief Financial Officer Tim Saunders has informed the Company and its
Board of Directors of his decision to retire as CFO in mid to late
calendar 2019. Tim will continue to serve as CFO until his
successor has transitioned into the role. The search for Tim's
replacement is already in process, with candidates identified, and
the Company expects to announce his successor in the next few
months. Following the transition, Tim will continue to serve the
executive team and Board of Directors of Canopy Growth as a
strategic advisor in areas of mergers and acquisitions, corporate
financing, and business transformation. The Board of Directors,
co-CEOs Bruce Linton and
Mark Zekulin, along with the whole
Canopy family, thank Tim for his dedication and leadership. Having
championed the financial health of the Company through an
aggressive phase of M&A growth, multiple financing rounds, and
historic listings on the TSX and NYSE, both firsts for cannabis
companies, Tim's mark on Canopy Growth is permanent and sincerely
appreciated.
The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Management's
Discussion and Analysis documents for the three and six months
ended December 31, 2018 will be filed
on SEDAR after financial markets close today, February 14, 2018, and will be available at

Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and
Management's Discussion and Analysis documents is in thousands of

Note 1: The Gross margin before the fair value effects of
the IFRS accounting for biological assets and inventory is a key
operational metric that does not have any standardized meaning
prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures
presented by other companies. The definition of this term can
be found in the Management's Discussion & Analysis under GROSS
MARGIN, a copy of which will be filed on SEDAR after financial
markets close today.
Note 2: The Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial
measure that does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by
IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by
other companies. The Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled and explained in
the Management's Discussion & Analysis under "Adjusted EBITDA
(Non-GAAP Measure)", a copy of which will filed on SEDAR after
financial markets close today.
