Net revenue declined by 13% to $66MM in Q1 FY2025 driven mostly by the impact of divested businesses.
Gross margin increased by 1,700 basis points ("bps") to 35% in Q1 FY2025 driven by improvement in our Canada cannabis segment, which was primarily due to the realized benefit of our cost savings program, a shift in channel mix to higher margin medical sales and a decline in write-down of excess inventory.
SG&A expenses were $48MM in Q1 FY2025, representing a decrease of 24% over Q1 FY2024 in part due to continued spending discipline across the organization.
Operating loss from continuing operations was $29MM in Q1 FY2025, representing an improvement of 47% compared to Q1 FY2024. Adjusted EBITDA loss was $5MM, representing a 77% improvement year-over-year, driven by higher gross profit and lower SG&A expenses.
Free Cash Flow was an outflow of $56MM in Q1 FY2025, an improvement of 49% compared to Q1 FY2024 driven by business transformation activities executed throughout FY2024 as well as a reduction in interest costs, partially offset by increased capital expenditure. Relative to the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2024, higher cash outflow from operations is primarily due to the timing of working capital and certain payments.
The Company continues to proactively improve and strengthen its balance sheet and announced today that it has entered into an amendment to its credit agreement with all of the lenders to its senior secured term loan (the "Term Loan"). This transaction accomplishes:
- Significant deleveraging of up to US$200MM: Principal repayment of US$100MM with an option to pay down an additional US$100MM;
- Repayment of US$97.5MM in order to reduce the principal amount outstanding on the Term Loan by US$100MM
- Option to pay an additional US$97.5MM in order to reduce an additional US$100MM of the principal amount of the Term Loan;
- Interest expense savings through a reduction in annual interest of US$14MM for each $100MM principal reduction and total potential interest savings of US$28MM; and
- Maturity date extension of 9-months to December 18, 2026 with an option to further extend the maturity date to September 18, 2027, upon completion of the voluntary prepayment above.

Business Highlights

Canada cannabis

Canada cannabis net revenue was $38MM in Q1 FY2025, a decrease of 6% year-over-year, with record Canada medical cannabis net revenue offset by lower adult-use cannabis net revenues. Canada medical cannabis net revenue increased 20% year-over-year, driven in part by strong demand for high-margin Spectrum Therapeutics products and the broader assortment of products available through the online platform.
In the latter half of Q1 FY2025, our Canadian adult-use cannabis business launched a range of new products into the market across priority categories including 7ACRES Ultra Jack flower, Maitri Strawberry Frappe flower (Quebec exclusive), Tweed Sugar Free Cola beverage, and the 7ACRES Café Vanilla Delight All-In-One vape.
Higher flower yields resulting from upgrades underway at our Kincardine facility, increased pre-rolled production capacity, additional third-party suppliers, targeted wholesale pricing actions, and increased distribution secured in Q1 FY2025, are expected to increase Canada adult-use top line in the coming quarters.

International markets cannabis

International markets cannabis net revenue in Q1 FY2025 declined 1% as compared to Q1 FY2024, with growth in high-margin Poland offset by a decline in Australia. International markets cannabis gross margin was 36% in Q1 FY2025, up 200 bps as compared to Q1 FY2024.
Maintained top 4 market share position in the Germany medical cannabis market⁶. Strong demand signals in German medical cannabis market post legalization with the number of prescriptions and volume of cannabis prescribed increasing by over 20% nationally⁶.
The Company is taking steps to increase supply to the German market by augmenting Canadian sourced flower with EU-based supply with a supply agreement signed during the quarter and additional agreements expected to be completed in FY2025.

Storz & Bickel^®

Storz & Bickel net revenue in Q1 FY2025 increased 2% as compared to Q1 FY2024 driven by strong growth in Germany, contribution from the Venty portable vaporizer, which was launched in the third quarter of FY2024, and strong sales of the Mighty vaporizer.
Following the regulatory changes in the non-medical channel in Australia, Storz & Bickel vaporizers are the only medically-certified whole flower vaporizers available for sale in Australia which is expected to drive growth opportunities in the Australian medical channel.
Additional market activities, including the launch of an affiliate program with select retailers in key U.S. states, are expected to increase U.S. distribution.
