Published

on


  • Generated $193 million in constant currency in the third quarter; strategic initiatives and SKU rationalization impacted revenue by $13 million
  • Tilray Beverage expands U.S. distribution of hemp-derived THC drinks across 10 states, increases Project 420 cost savings plan to $33 million
  • Tilray Cannabis increased gross margins by 800 basis points (bps), remains the leader in Canada by sales performance, and generates strong sales growth in Germany
  • Strengthens balance sheet with convertible note reduction of $58 million and total debt reduction of $71 million, $248 million available in cash and marketable securities

[PRESS RELEASE] – NEW YORK and LEAMINGTON, Ontario, April 8, 2025 – Tilray Brands Inc., a global lifestyle and consumer packaged goods company at the forefront of beverage, cannabis and wellness industries, reported financial results for its third quarter that ended Feb. 28, 2025. All financial information in this press release is reported in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

In response to the recently announced tariffs on international trade, Tilray analyzed the potential implications on its business. The analysis concluded that these tariffs should not impact sales. In the United States, Tilray’s American beverage brands are solely manufactured and distributed within the U.S. market. In Canada, Tilray’s cannabis brands are produced domestically for Canadian consumers. In Europe, Tilray manufactures medical cannabis brands and products for distribution across Europe and Australia. Regarding Tilray’s wellness business, Manitoba Harvest is currently exempt from the new tariffs.

“Tilray Brands is shaping the future of consumer markets with a robust global infrastructure spanning the beverage, cannabis and wellness industries,” Tilray Brands Chairman and CEO Irwin D. Simon said. “We are meeting the needs of today’s consumers while preparing for the demands of tomorrow. In the third quarter, we prioritized sales quality and revenue, protected margins, reduced debt, and improved our capital structure. With a strong balance sheet and a clear vision for the future, Tilray is well-positioned to capitalize on emerging opportunities and ensure long-term success.

“We see opportunities in the alcohol, cannabis and wellness industries and believe these sectors are here to stay. Tilray is relentlessly focused on building strong brands and developing innovative products to seize growth opportunities across all our businesses. At Tilray, we are laser-focused on building a sustainable global business platform by emphasizing profitable sales growth, improving profit margins and cash flow generation, and maintaining a solid balance sheet to navigate market challenges and capitalize on strategic opportunities. In Q3, we delivered our highest cannabis gross margins in almost two years, and as of today, our net debt is now less than 1x EBITDA on a trailing 12-month basis. We will not seek sales growth merely for the sake of sales if it does not add to the bottom line and benefit our shareholders.”

Strategic Growth Initiatives  Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2025

Tilray Beverage Project 420: Tilray Beverage completed $20.6 million of an expanded Project 420 cost-savings plan of $33 million. Project 420 aims to reduce costs to improve efficiency and profitability by rationalizing SKUs, geographies and distribution and is expected to be completed in the third quarter of fiscal 2026.

Hemp-Derived THC Drinks in the U.S: Tilray Brands is strategically positioned to utilize the expertise of its hemp wellness and cannabis businesses to responsibly formulate beverages infused with 5 milligrams and 10 milligrams of hemp-derived THC. During the fiscal year to date, Tilray generated $1.4 million in revenue from hemp-derived THC beverage sales and expanded the distribution of these drinks across more than 1,000 points of distribution in 10 states including Florida, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Louisiana, and New Jersey, as well as through online direct-to-consumer channels.

In addition to our existing mocktail and seltzer brands Happy Flower, Fizzy Jane, and Herb & Bloom, the company is pleased to introduce 420 Fizz, a low-calorie soda beverage infused with hemp-derived THC. Tilray also leverages its established national beverage distribution network, which spans independent retailers, convenience stores and package stores, including multistate retailers such as Total Wine and ABC, which have expressed strong interest in this category and new growth opportunity.

Tilray Cannabis Profitability Initiatives: Tilray’s Cannabis segment is focused on profitability and margin protection. In the third fiscal quarter, Tilray Canada redirected inventories to international cannabis markets to capitalize on higher margins expected in these markets in the upcoming fourth fiscal quarter. Tilray’s global cannabis supply chain is in Phase II of its accelerated growth plan, and the cultivation footprint is expanding to meet increasing demand in both Canadian and international markets. The Cannabis segment is concentrating on preserving gross margins and maintaining higher average selling prices in categories such as vapes and infused pre-rolls, which have experienced significant price compression and are margin dilutive. Growth in these categories is expected to resume later in the upcoming fourth fiscal quarter due to capital expenditures improving our operational efficiencies.

Debt Reduction; $248 Million Cash and Marketable Securities: As of April 8, 2025, Tilray reduced its outstanding total debt by $71 million with a convertible note reduction of $58 million, strengthening the balance sheet. As a result, net debt to trailing 12 months EBITDA is less than 1x. The company’s $248 million cash balance, including marketable securities, provides Tilray with great flexibility for strategic opportunities.

AI and Cryptocurrency Business Strategy: Tilray Brands is dedicated to leveraging advanced technologies to align with our shareholder interests, the consumer of tomorrow, enhancing efficiency and driving growth. The company is implementing AI across its global operations to enhance its expertise, optimize processes, achieve substantial improvements and advance its business objectives. In the cultivation sector, Tilray is utilizing advanced horticulture automation technology throughout its global greenhouse operations. By integrating this technology with AI-driven data insights, the company can manage greenhouse conditions in real time, leading to more efficient operations, increased output, superior quality and reduced costs for resources such as labor, water and energy. Additionally, Tilray plans to accept cryptocurrency as a payment method within the company’s online operations. The company is also exploring strategic initiatives related to cryptocurrency that align with our business goals.

Financial Highlights – Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2025

  • Net revenue of $185.8 million in the third quarter compared to $188.3 million in the prior year quarter. On a constant currency basis, net revenue in the current third quarter increased to approximately $193 million. The prior year quarter included revenue of $6 million of now-discontinued SKUs. Strategic initiatives and SKU rationalization impacted revenue by $13.2 million in the current year quarter.
  • Gross profit increased by 5% to $52 million in the third quarter compared to $49.4 million in the prior year’s quarter. Gross margin increased 200 bps to 28% in the third quarter compared to 26% in the prior year’s quarter.
  • Net loss was $(793.5) million in the third quarter, due to approximately $700 million of noncash impairment as a result of macroeconomic conditions and declines in market capitalization, foreign exchange loss, amortization, changes in fair value of convertible notes receivable and stock-based compensation as well as nonrecurring transaction and restructuring charges.
  • Adjusted net loss was $(2.9) million in the third quarter compared to an adjusted net income of $0.9 million in the prior year quarter.
  • Adjusted EPS remained at $0 in both the third quarter and the comparative period.
  • Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter was $9 million compared to $10.2 million in the prior year quarter due to the beverage segment’s SKU rationalization impact of $1 million and $0.6 million related to the prioritization of international cannabis markets.
  • Beverage alcohol net revenue increased to $55.9 million in the third quarter, up from $54.7 million in the prior year’s quarter, despite a $6 million impact from the strategic SKU rationalization.
    • The beverage alcohol gross margin increased to 36% in the third quarter compared to 34% in the prior year’s quarter.
  • Cannabis net revenue was $54.3 million in the third quarter compared to $63.4 million in the prior year’s quarter. On a constant currency basis, cannabis net revenue was $57.5 million. The strategic initiative to redirect product from Canada to international markets resulted in a timing impact on revenue of $3.2 million. Additionally, a strategic decision to pause the company’s presence in margin dilutive categories, such as vapes and infused pre-rolls, led to a revenue decrease of $4 million but prevented a potential loss exceeding $3 million.
    • Cannabis gross margin increased to 41% in the third quarter compared to 33% in the prior year quarter, resulting from the company’s strategic prioritization of the international business and the reduction in its exposure to margin dilutive categories.
  • Distribution net revenue increased 8% to $61.5 million in the third quarter compared to $56.8 million in the prior year’s quarter. On a constant currency basis, distribution net revenue was up 15% to $65.1 million.
    • The distribution gross margin was 9% in the third quarter compared to 10% in the prior year’s quarter.
  • Wellness net revenue increased 5% to $14.1 million and 8% on a constant currency basis to $14.5 million in the third quarter compared to $13.4 million in the prior year’s quarter.
    • The wellness gross margin increased to 32% in the third quarter compared to 30% in the prior year’s quarter.

Company’s Fiscal Year 2025 Guidance

The Company revises fiscal year 2025 guidance for net revenue to $850 million to $900 million. Adjustments for constant currency and the impacts of the strategic initiatives and SKU rationalization, which total approximately $50 million, would have resulted in an expected net revenue of $900 million to $950 million.

Nevada Lawmakers Weigh Bill To Stop Disqualifying Foster Parents’ Eligibility Over Marijuana

Published

on


“Not only do these kids have to be taken away from their parents, they have to be taken away from their communities sometimes, and put in other counties and other schools.”

By April Corbin Girnus, Nevada Current

Clark County is making the case that Nevadans with non-violent marijuana convictions should not be automatically disqualified from becoming foster parents.

“Over the years we have lost qualified, caring individuals due to former criminal records, particularly from marijuana convictions related to possession that were over 20 years old or longer,” Ashley Kennedy, a lobbyist for Clark County, told state lawmakers. Such convictions “no longer align with Nevada’s current laws.”

Assembly Bill 107, which the county requested, would change that. It would allow people convicted of marijuana possession for amounts that are currently legal to become foster parents. It would also remove the automatic ban on fostering for anyone with a marijuana-related conviction more than 5 years old and not related to selling.

Currently, any conviction for possession, distribution or use of any controlled substance automatically disqualifies you from becoming a foster parent.

AB107 would not change other licensing requirements for foster parents, which include training, background checks, home inspections and home studies. The bill, sponsored by Las Vegas Democratic Assemblymember Tracy Brown-May, received unanimous support from the Assembly and was heard by a Senate committee last week.

Kennedy said Clark County does not have formal data on the number of people who have been turned away by its family services department for having prior marijuana convictions, but anecdotally they believe it to be “at least 10 families a year.”

She added that, while 10 may appear to be a small number, most foster care homes take in more than one child per year, meaning the impact is “significantly larger.” Many foster homes also take in multiple kids at the same time, child advocates noted.

The need for more foster care homes is great in Clark County and Nevada.

“In Clark County alone, we have over 3,000 children in foster care on any given day but fewer than 900 licensed foster homes,” said Kennedy.

Republican Assemblymember Ken Gray, who signed on as a cosponsor of the bill, said it could be a “game changer.” He added that Lyon County currently only has seven foster families.

“We have so few beds,” he said. “Not only do these kids have to be taken away from their parents, they have to be taken away from their communities sometimes, and put in other counties and other schools. You’re adding more damage on top of damage that’s already been done.”

He added, “Even one or two homes in each county is going to make a significant difference.”

Colorado Lawmakers Send Psychedelics Bill To Governor To Allow Pardons And Implement Data-Tracking

Published

on


Colorado’s House of Representatives has approved a Senate-passed bill to empower the governor to grant pardons to people who’ve been convicted of psychedelics-related offenses and also revise implementation rules and data-tracking provisions for the state’s 2022 voter-approved psychedelics legalization law.

House members voted 43–22 in favor of SB25-297 during third reading on Tuesday, following Senate passage of the proposal on a 23–12 vote last week. With approval by both chambers, the measure now proceeds to the desk of Gov. Jared Polis (D).

If enacted, the bill would authorize Polis or future governors to grant clemency to people with convictions for low-level possession of substances such as psilocybin, ibogaine and DMT that have since been legalized for adults.

It would also require the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), Department of Revenue (DOR) and Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) to “collect information and data related to the use of natural medicine and natural medicine products.”

That would include data on law enforcement activities, adverse health events, consumer protection claims and behavioral impacts related to psychedelics.

“What this bill does is it sets up a mechanism to collect health information, which should give us the data to see whether or not natural medicine, as it’s rolled out, has adverse health effects or beneficial health impacts,” Sen. Matt Ball (D), SB25-297’s Senate sponsor, said during discussion on the measure last week.

House sponsor Rep. Lisa Feret (D), meanwhile, noted that as the measure is currently written, the data-tracking program “will be funded by grant dollars, so we will not be taking any more money from this.”

Prior to passage by the Senate, a committee amendment removed a government appropriation to pay for data collection and tracking, replacing a reference to “ongoing appropriations” with “appropriations or gifts, grants, or donations.” Ball said at the time that lawmakers have a letter of intent from the Psychedelic Science Funders Collaborative—a nonprofit that supports advancing psychedelic therapy—to fund the program for the entirety of its five-year duration.

The bill would earmark $208,240 in those funds for the governor’s office of information technology. “To implement this act, the office may use this appropriation to provide information technology services for the department of public health and environment,” the text version says.

The legislation would further amend rules around licensing and ownership of psychedelic healing centers. For example, it removes a requirement for fingerprint background checks for owners and employees of licensed facilities, making it so they would only be subject to a name-based criminal background check.

It additionally “requires the state licensing authority to adopt rules related to product labels for regulated natural medicine and regulated natural medicine products and permits the state licensing authority to adopt rules regarding the types of regulated natural medicine products that can be manufactured.”

The proposal overall has support from an array of advocates, including psychedelic medicine proponents as well as groups more skeptical of legalization. Public commenters at a hearing last month seemed to agree that the bill’s data collection provisions would help observers both inside and outside Colorado better understand the outcomes around regulated psychedelics.

Meanwhile in Colorado, last month the governor signed into law a bill that would allow a form of psilocybin to be prescribed as a medication if the federal government authorizes its use.

While Colorado already legalized psilocybin and several other psychedelics for adults 21 and older through the voter-approved ballot initiative, the newly enacted reform will make it so drugs containing an isolated crystalized version synthesized from psilocybin can become available under physician prescription.

As of January, meanwhile, Colorado regulars have been authorized to approve licenses for psilocybin service centers where adults can access the psychedelic in controlled settings.

The governor signed a bill to create the regulatory framework for legal psychedelics in 2023.

But lawmakers evidently are interested in setting the state up to allow for a more conventional system of distribution for certain psychedelics. In 2022, Polis also signed a bill to align state statute to legalize MDMA prescriptions if and when the federal government ultimately permits such use.

Whether FDA moves forward with any such approvals in uncertain, and the agency faced criticism last year after rejecting an application to allow MDMA-assisted therapy for people with PTSD.

Meanwhile in Colorado, a bill that would have limited THC in marijuana and outlawed a variety of psilocybin products will no longer move forward this session following the lead sponsor’s move to withdraw the bill.
