Canopy Growth Corp (NASDAQ:CGC) has unified its global medical cannabis businesses to improve speed, scalability, and market responsiveness, leading to a 13% growth in the Canadian medical business. The company has streamlined its Canadian adult-use business by removing low-performing SKUs and focusing on high-margin products, which has strengthened relationships with key accounts. Canopy Growth Corp (NASDAQ:CGC) has established a centralized global operations function to enhance supply and demand planning, resulting in improved fill rates from mid-80s to mid-90s. The company has identified $20 million in cost reductions, with 80% of savings already identified and over 50% executed, creating financial flexibility for reinvestment. Canopy Growth Corp (NASDAQ:CGC) has made a USD100 million early prepayment on its senior secured term loan, reducing annual interest expenses by approximately USD13 million. Q4 fiscal '25 results fell short of expectations due to lower revenue in Storz & Bickel, Poland, and Australian medical businesses. Free cash flow was an outflow of $36 million for Q4, compared to an outflow of $23 million a year ago, due to higher capex and increased working capital. International markets cannabis sales declined 35% in Q4 fiscal '25 compared to Q4 fiscal '24, with significant drops in Poland and Australia. Storz & Bickel experienced a 23% year-over-year revenue decline in Q4, with continued softness into Q1 fiscal '26 due to decreased vaporizer demand. Acreage's performance was negatively impacted by liquidity challenges and underperformance in the Ohio adult-use cannabis market, affecting Canopy USA's revenue expectations. Q: Can you provide more color on near-term opportunities versus long-term actions to achieve positive adjusted EBITDA? A: Luc Mongeau, CEO: We're focusing on cost reductions and growth, particularly in our medical business, which is performing well in Canada. We've streamlined operations and are focusing on high-potential areas like Canadian REC and medical cannabis in Europe and Australia. Our goal is to capitalize on near-term opportunities with the highest potential returns. Q: What makes the current streamlining and cost-saving initiatives different from past efforts? A: Luc Mongeau, CEO: The current actions are about fundamentally transforming the organization into focused, streamlined business units with centralized core capabilities. We've eliminated layers of management to speed up decision-making and empower teams, which is a significant cultural shift from past approaches. Q: What factors have contributed to Acreage's underperformance, and what is the outlook for Canopy USA? A: Judy Hong, CFO: Acreage's challenges stem from liquidity issues and underperformance in Ohio, which hasn't fully opened as an adult-use market. This has impacted their ability to invest in other core markets. Despite these challenges, we remain optimistic about the long-term potential of the US market. Q: How are you addressing supply chain inconsistencies, especially for international markets? A: Luc Mongeau, CEO: We've centralized our supply chain and sales operations to improve decision-making and resource allocation. This restructuring allows us to better manage cultivation and distribution, ensuring consistent supply without needing significant new investments. Q: Can you provide insights into the Canadian medical cannabis market and Canopy's performance? A: Judy Hong, CFO: The Canadian medical market is declining slightly, but we've outperformed with a 16% growth, gaining market share. Our focus is on high-value patients and providing excellent customer experiences, which we aim to leverage in international markets as well.
