Canopy Growth Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2026 Financial Results; Cannabis Revenue Increased 24% Year-Over-Year

Canopy Growth Corporation ("Canopy Growth" or the "Company") (TSX:WEED) (Nasdaq: CGC) today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2025 ("Q1 FY2026"). All financial information in this press release is reported in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated. "We delivered strong top line growth in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, led by momentum in our Canada adult-use cannabis business where we're gaining share in high-demand categories, and steady performance across our global medical cannabis business. This reflects the early impact of our focused commercial strategy and a more disciplined execution. I'm confident we can continue to build on this momentum through the remainder of the year." Luc Mongeau, Chief Executive Officer 'Our financial discipline has already delivered meaningful operating expense reductions, and we see further opportunity to simplify and focus the business. Improving gross margin remains a key priority while maintaining topline performance in all areas of the business. These actions are critical to strengthening our financial position through the remainder of fiscal 2026 and ultimately achieving Adjusted EBITDA profitability.' Tom Stewart, Interim Chief Financial Officer First Quarter Fiscal 2026 Financial Summary (in thousands of Canadian dollars, unaudited) Net Revenue Gross margin percentage Net loss from continuing operations Adjusted EBITDA 1 Free cash flow 2 Reported $72,134 25% $(41,527) $(7,916) $(11,643) vs. Q1 FY2025 9% (1,000) bps 68% (50%) 79% First Quarter Fiscal 2026 Financial Highlights As of the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company began reporting its financial results for the following two reportable segments: (i) Cannabis - includes the global production, distribution and sale of a diverse range of cannabis and cannabis-related products; and (ii) Storz & Bickel - includes the production, distribution and sale of vaporizers and accessories. Consolidated net revenue in Q1 FY2026 increased 9% compared to the first quarter ended June 30, 2024 ('Q1 FY2025') due to increased Canada adult-use cannabis, Canada medical cannabis and international markets cannabis net revenue offset by lower Storz & Bickel net revenue. Consolidated gross margin decreased to 25% in Q1 FY2026, compared to 35% in Q1 FY2025. This decrease was primarily driven by lower Storz & Bickel sales, lower cannabis sales in the high-margin Poland market and a shift in product mix in Canada due to increased consumer demand for manufactured adult-use cannabis products. Operating loss from continuing operations was $23MM in Q1 FY2026, representing an improvement of 21% compared to Q1 FY2025. The improvement was driven primarily by a reduction in operating expenses. Adjusted EBITDA loss of $8MM in Q1 FY2026, compared to $5MM in Q1 FY2025, driven primarily by lower consolidated gross margins offset partially by lower selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses. Free cash flow was an outflow of $12MM in Q1 FY2026, representing a decrease of 79% in outflow compared to Q1 FY2025, primarily driven by lower SG&A expenses, lower working capital use, and the timing of interest payments. Cash and short-term investments increased to $144MM at June 30, 2025, from $131MM at March 31, 2025. Cannabis Highlights Canada adult-use cannabis net revenue in Q1 FY2026 was $27MM, representing an increase of 43% compared to Q1 FY2025 driven primarily by increased distribution and strong consumer demand for flower and manufactured cannabis products including infused pre-rolled joint ("PRJ") offerings. Total Claybourne infused PRJ sales increased 58% sequentially in Q1 FY2026 compared to Q4 FY2025 3. Maintained #2 category market share in the infused PRJ category in Alberta, #3 in Ontario, and #3 nationally 3. The Company is focused on maintaining commercial momentum in its adult-use cannabis business, with a focus on expanding retail distribution and executing against high-demand product segments through the remainder of fiscal year 2026 ("FY2026"). Canada medical cannabis net revenue in Q1 FY2026 increased 13% compared to Q1 FY2025 driven by an increase in the number of insured customers, increased order sizes from our insured customers, and a larger assortment of cannabis products available on the Spectrum online store. International markets cannabis net revenue was $9MM in Q1 FY2026, representing an increase of 4% over Q1 FY2025, primarily attributable to increased shipments of flower products into Europe, which was offset by a decline in the Company's Australian medical cannabis business. Supply chain improvements in international markets are expected to increase cannabis supply and consistency in margin accretive European markets in the second half of FY2026. Cannabis gross margins decreased to 24% in Q1 FY2026 compared to 33% in Q1 FY2025. This decrease was primarily attributable to a shift in Canada of the adult-use cannabis consumers to higher cost manufactured products like infused PRJs and lower sales in Poland which historically has high margins. The Company has a number of actions underway that are expected to improve cannabis gross margins in the second half of FY2026, including the deployment of automation technology and increased PRJ production capacity and the continued pursuit of margin accretive bulk cannabis sales in Canada and Europe. Storz & Bickel Highlights Storz & Bickel delivered net revenue in Q1 FY2026 of $15MM, representing a decrease of 25% compared to Q1 FY2025, primarily attributable to lapping strong sales in the prior year and consumer economic uncertainty. Lower sales and an unfavourable shift in geographic mix resulted in a reduction to gross margin, which decreased to 29% in Q1 FY2026 compared to 39% in Q1 FY2025. Storz & Bickel has implemented several cost efficiency measures, including bringing additional manufacturing capabilities in-house and headcount reductions, which are expected to reduce cost of goods sold and SG&A expenses over the coming quarters. Storz & Bickel is preparing to launch a new vaporizer in the second half of calendar year 2025. The Company believes the new device will generate strong consumer interest. First Quarter Fiscal 2026 Revenue Review 4 (in millions of Canadian dollars, unaudited) Q1 FY2026 Q1 FY2025 Vs. Q1 FY2025 Cannabis Canadian adult-use cannabis 5 $27.0 $18.9 43% Canadian medical cannabis 6 $21.2 $18.8 13% International markets cannabis $8.8 $8.4 5% $57.0 $46.1 24% Storz & Bickel $15.1 $20.1 (25%) Net revenue $72.1 $66.2 9% The Q1 FY2026 and Q1 FY2025 financial results presented in this press release have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Webcast Information A live audio webcast will be available at: Replay Information A replay will be accessible by webcast until 11:59 PM ET on November 6, 2025 at: 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. Accordingly, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful and useful financial information as this measure demonstrates the operating performance of businesses. The Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation is presented within this press release and explained in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2025 (the 'Form 10-Q') 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 the Company's 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 press release and explained in the Form 10-Q filed with the SEC.
