Cronos Group Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(In thousands of U.S. dollars, except share amounts)			Table of Contents

1. Background, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a)Background

Cronos Group Inc. (“Cronos” or the “Company”) is incorporated in the province of British Columbia under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) with principal executive offices at 4491 Concession Rd 12, Stayner, Ontario, L0M 1S0. The Company’s common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) under the ticker symbol “CRON.”

Cronos is an innovative global cannabinoid company committed to building disruptive intellectual property by advancing cannabis research, technology and product development. With a passion to responsibly elevate the consumer experience, Cronos is building an iconic brand portfolio. Cronos’ diverse international brand portfolio includes Spinach®, PEACE NATURALS® and Lord Jones®.

(b)Basis of presentation

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Cronos are unaudited. They have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other reporting period.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Report”).

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation of our condensed consolidated interim financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations and ending shareholders’ equity.

(c)Discontinued Operations

In the second quarter of 2023, the Company exited its U.S. hemp-derived cannabinoid product operations. The exit of the U.S. operations represented a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results, and as such, qualifies for reporting as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statements of net loss and comprehensive income (loss). Prior period amounts have been reclassified to reflect the discontinued operations classification of the U.S. operations. For more information, see Note 2 “Discontinued Operations.”

(d)Segment information

Segment reporting is prepared on the same basis that the Company’s chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) manages the business, makes operating decisions and assesses the Company’s performance. Prior to the second quarter of 2023, the Company reported results for two reportable segments, the U.S. and Rest of World. In the second quarter of 2023, as a result of the Company’s exit of its then-existing U.S. operations, the Company determined that it has one operating segment and therefore one reportable segment, which is comprised of operations in Canada and Israel and is involved in the cultivation, manufacture, and marketing of cannabis and cannabis-derived products for the medical and adult-use markets. All prior period segment disclosure information has been reclassified to conform to the current reporting structure in this Form 10-Q. These reclassifications had no effect on our consolidated financial statements in any period presented.

(e)Revenue recognition

The following tables present the Company’s revenue by major product category for continuing operations:


	Three months ended June 30,
	2024		2023
Cannabis flower	$	20,661	$	14,014
Cannabis extracts	7,064		4,926

(f)Concentration of risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities, primarily accounts receivable and other receivables, and its investing activities, including cash held with banks and financial institutions, short-term investments and loans receivable. The Company’s maximum exposure to this risk is equal to the carrying amount of these financial assets, which amounted to $954,818 and $966,442 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date using a provision matrix to measure expected credit losses. The provision rates are based on the days past due for groupings of various customer segments with similar loss patterns. The calculation reflects the probability-weighted outcome, the time value of money and reasonable and supportable information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan and a failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 120 days past due. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $20 and $3, respectively, in expected credit losses that have been recognized on receivables from contracts with customers.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company assessed that there is a concentration of credit risk, as 30% of the Company’s accounts receivable were due from one customer with an established credit history with the Company.

(g)New accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 enhances reportable segment disclosures by requiring disclosures such as significant segment expenses, information on the CODM and disclosures for entities with a single reportable segment. Additionally, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, and contain other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and we expect to adopt ASU 2023-07 retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-07 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 enhances the existing income tax disclosures to provide additional information to better assess how an entity’s operations, related tax risks and tax planning, and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and we expect to adopt ASU 2023-09 prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-09 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

(h)Adoption of new accounting pronouncements

On January 1, 2024, the Company adopted ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2022-03”). ASU 2022-03 clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also require additional disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. The adoption of ASU 2022-03 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements. With respect to the adoption of ASU 2022-03, see Note 4 “Investments” for discussion of the contractual restrictions related to the PharmaCann Option (as defined below).

2. Discontinued Operations

(b)Other investments

Other investments consist of investments in common shares and options of two companies in the cannabis industry.

PharmaCann Option

On June 14, 2021, the Company purchased an option (the “PharmaCann Option”) to acquire 473,787 shares of Class A Common Stock of PharmaCann, Inc. (“PharmaCann”), a vertically integrated cannabis company in the United States, at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, representing approximately 10.5% of PharmaCann’s issued and outstanding capital stock on a fully diluted basis as of the date of the PharmaCann Option, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $110,392. The PharmaCann Option is classified as an investment in an equity security without a readily determinable fair value. The Company measures the PharmaCann Option at cost less accumulated impairment charges, if any, and subsequently adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, based on updated information provided by PharmaCann in the second quarter, the Company’s ownership percentage in PharmaCann on a fully diluted basis was approximately 6.2% and 6.6%, respectively. The decrease in the Company’s ownership percentage since acquisition does not materially affect the Company’s rights under the PharmaCann Option. The PharmaCann Option is measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and is a level 3 asset. See Note 10 “Fair Value Measurements” for more information on the fair value hierarchy. The PharmaCann Option is reported as Other investments on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

(In thousands of U.S. dollars, except share amounts)			Table of Contents

During the first and second quarters of 2024, the Company identified adverse forecast changes in the financial performance of PharmaCann as indicators of impairment related to the PharmaCann Option and conducted analyses comparing the PharmaCann Option’s carrying amount to its estimated fair value. The fair value was estimated using the market approach. Under the market approach, the key assumptions are the selected multiples and the discount for lack of marketability. As a result of these analyses, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $12,734 and $12,916 in the first and second quarters of 2024, respectively, as the difference between the carrying amount of the PharmaCann Option and its estimated fair value, in the condensed consolidated statements of net loss and comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

The Company may sell, transfer or dispose of the PharmaCann Option without PharmaCann’s prior written consent, subject to the following conditions: (i) any transferee of any part of the PharmaCann Option must comply with and commit to comply with all regulations issued by a governmental entity applicable to such transferee in all material respects; (ii) any transferee of any part of the PharmaCann Option must agree to be bound by the terms of the Option Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 14, 2021 (the “Option Purchase Agreement”), as a “Purchaser” thereunder; (iii) the Company may not split and/or transfer the PharmaCann Option, in the aggregate, to more than four persons (with certain exceptions); (iv) no transferee may be a Prohibited Assignee (as defined in the Option Purchase Agreement); and (v) subject to certain exceptions, in the event that the Company (or a Permitted Transferee of the whole PharmaCann Option) transfers less than all of the PharmaCann Option to any third party that is not a Permitted Transferee, certain governance and information rights terminate immediately, unless waived by the PharmaCann board of directors in its sole and absolute discretion.

Additionally, in the event of an initial underwritten public offering of PharmaCann’s common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement, to the extent that holders of PharmaCann common stock are subject to any lock-up period imposed by the underwriter in connection therewith, the Company will, if applicable, execute a customary lock-up agreement on the same material terms and conditions as the other holders of common stock are subject to or as otherwise agreed between PharmaCann and the Company, subject to certain conditions with respect to the duration of the lock-up period.

Vitura Health Limited (formerly known as Cronos Australia)

The Company owns approximately 10% of the outstanding common shares of Vitura Health Limited (“Vitura”). The investment is considered an equity security with a readily determinable fair value. Changes in the fair value of the investment are recorded as gain (loss) on revaluation of financial instruments on the condensed consolidated statements of net loss and comprehensive loss.

Cronos GrowCo Credit Facility

On August 23, 2019, the Company, as lender, and Cronos GrowCo, as borrower, entered into a senior secured credit agreement for an aggregate principal amount of C$100,000 (the “GrowCo Credit Facility”). The GrowCo Credit Facility is secured by substantially all present and after-acquired personal and real property of Cronos GrowCo. In August 2021, the GrowCo Credit Facility was amended to increase the aggregate principal amount available to C$105,000.

In June 2024, the GrowCo Credit Facility was amended to increase the aggregate principal amount available by C$70,000 by providing a second secured non-revolving credit facility (“Term Loan B”). The funds from Term Loan B will be used to expand Cronos GrowCo’s purpose-built cannabis facility and will mature 10 years after the commencement of sales from the expansion area, following which, principal will be repaid on a quarterly basis. Interest on Term Loan B is payable on a quarterly basis until maturity beginning after the first borrowing under Term Loan B. Prior to July 1, 2024, only C$12,000 of the C$70,000 increased principal availability could be drawn, which Cronos GrowCo drew in full on June 20, 2024.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Cronos GrowCo had drawn C$116,000 and C$104,000 ($84,833 and $78,532, respectively), respectively from the GrowCo Credit Facility. The interest rate on the outstanding borrowings is the Canadian Prime Rate plus 1.25%, with interest payments due quarterly. Principal payments of C$1,000 commenced in March 2022 and are currently C$1,667, due quarterly. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, Cronos GrowCo repaid C$1,667 ($1,216) in principal and C$1,920 ($1,401) in interest related to the GrowCo Credit Facility. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, Cronos GrowCo repaid C$3,333 ($2,447) in principal and C$3,862 ($2,835) in interest related to the GrowCo Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2024, Cronos GrowCo had repaid an aggregate C$14,833 ($10,848) and C$24,384 ($17,832) in principal and interest, respectively, under the terms of the GrowCo Credit Facility.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2024, the results of Cronos GrowCo will be consolidated into the results of the Company, and the Cronos GrowCo Credit Facility will be reclassified as an intercompany transaction and eliminated upon consolidation. For more information, see Note 12 “Subsequent Events.”

Mucci Promissory Note

On June 28, 2019, the Company entered into a promissory note receivable agreement (the “Mucci Promissory Note”) for C$16,350 (approximately $11,957) with the Cronos GrowCo joint venture partner (“Mucci”). The Mucci Promissory Note is secured by a general security agreement covering all the assets of Mucci. On September 30, 2022, the Mucci Promissory Note was amended and restated to increase the interest rate from 3.95% to the Canadian Prime Rate plus 1.25%, change the interest payments from quarterly to annual, and defer Mucci’s initial cash interest payment from September 30, 2022 to July 1, 2023. On June 20, 2024, the Mucci Promissory Note was amended and restated. As a result, interest accrued on the Mucci Promissory Note between July 1, 2023 and July 1, 2024 was capitalized as part of the principal balance, which increased the loans receivable and decreased interest receivable by $974 on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2024. As of July 1, 2024, interest is accrued and to be paid in cash beginning on July 1, 2025.

Prior to July 1, 2022, interest accrued on the Mucci Promissory Note was capitalized as part of the principal balance. As of July 1, 2022, interest was accrued and to be paid in cash beginning on July 1, 2023. Prior to 2023, there were no repayments of principal or interest on the Mucci Promissory Note. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, Mucci made a payment of C$1,750 (approximately $1,322) under the Mucci Promissory Note, with C$1,187 ($897) related to accrued interest and C$563 ($425) related to outstanding principal. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, there were no repayments of principal or interest on the Mucci Promissory Note.

6. Restructuring

In the first quarter of 2022, the Company initiated a strategic plan to realign the business around its brands, centralize functions and evaluate the Company’s supply chain (the “Realignment”). As part of the Realignment, on February 28, 2022, the Board approved plans to leverage the Company’s strategic partnerships to improve supply chain efficiencies and reduce manufacturing overhead by exiting its production facility in Stayner, Ontario, Canada (the “Peace Naturals Campus”). On February 27, 2023, the Board approved revisions to the Realignment, which were expected to result in the Company maintaining select components of its operations at the Peace Naturals Campus, namely distribution warehousing, certain research and development activities and manufacturing of certain of the Company’s products, while seeking to sell and lease back all or some of the Peace Naturals Campus or to lease certain portions of the Peace Naturals Campus to third parties. In the third quarter of 2023, the Board approved revisions to the Realignment to wind-down operations at its Winnipeg, Manitoba facility (“Cronos Fermentation”), list the Cronos Fermentation facility for sale, and implement additional organization-wide cost reductions as the Company continues its Realignment initiatives. The Realignment initiatives were intended to position the Company to drive profitable and sustainable growth over time.

On November 26, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with Future Farmco Canada Inc. for the sale and leaseback of the Peace Naturals Campus. This agreement was subsequently terminated pursuant to its terms during the second quarter of 2024. The Company is continuing to evaluate its strategic options for the Peace Naturals Campus, which may include continuing and expanding operations at the facility.

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company ceased operations at Cronos Fermentation and performed an assessment under ASC 360 of the recoverability of the carrying value of the Cronos Fermentation assets, and determined the carrying value of the assets was not fully recoverable. The fair value was estimated using a combination of the market and income approaches. As a result of this analysis, an impairment loss on long-lived assets of $1,631 was recorded to the condensed consolidated statements of net loss and comprehensive loss in the six months ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the assets of Cronos Fermentation met the held-for-sale criteria and were classified to assets held for sale on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and the assets are valued at their fair value less costs to sell. A $445 loss for estimated costs to sell was recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2024 as a result of the classification of the Cronos Fermentation assets as held for sale.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred $547 and $630 of restructuring costs in its continuing operations in connection with the Realignment. Charges related thereto include shutdown costs at the Cronos Fermentation facility, as well as employee-related costs such as severance and other termination benefits. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized no restructuring costs in continuing operations in connection with the Realignment. Restructuring costs incurred in the Company’s discontinued operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 is presented in Note 2 “Discontinued Operations.”

The following table summarizes the Company’s restructuring activity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024:

8. Loss per Share

Basic and diluted loss per share from continuing and discontinued operations are calculated as follows (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):


	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Basic loss per share computation
Net loss from continuing operations attributable to the shareholders of Cronos Group	$	(8,757)	$	(5,526)	$	(10,998)	$	(23,473)
Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for computation for basic and diluted earnings per share(i)	382,157,555		380,961,682		381,800,078		380,792,802

(i)In computing diluted loss per share, incremental common shares are not considered in periods in which a net loss is reported as the inclusion of the common share equivalents would be anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, total securities of 19,434,059 and 28,769,758, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted shares outstanding because the effect would be anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, total securities of 22,007,363 and 29,428,093, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted shares outstanding because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

(a)Commitments

There have been no material changes in the information regarding commitments as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report.

(b)Contingencies

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business and in connection with its marketing, distribution and sale of its products. Many of these legal proceedings are in the early stages of litigation and seek damages that are unspecified or not quantified. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe these legal proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition but could be material to its results of operations for a quarterly period depending, in part, on its results for that quarter.

(i)Class action complaints relating to restatement of 2019 interim financial statements

On March 11 and 12, 2020, two alleged shareholders of the Company separately filed two putative class action complaints in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York against the Company and its Chief Executive Officer and former Chief Financial Officer. The court consolidated the cases, and the consolidated amended complaint alleges violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5, promulgated thereunder, against all defendants, and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the individual defendants. The consolidated amended complaint generally alleges that certain of the Company’s prior public statements about revenues and internal controls were incorrect based on the Company’s disclosures relating to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors’ review of the appropriateness of revenue recognized in connection with certain bulk resin purchases and sales of products through the wholesale channel. The consolidated amended complaint does not quantify a damage request. The defendants moved to dismiss on February 8, 2021. On November 17, 2023, the court entered an order granting the motion and dismissed the case with prejudice. On December 1, 2023, the shareholder plaintiffs sought reconsideration of the dismissal, requesting that the court instead dismiss the action without prejudice and permit the plaintiffs to seek leave to further amend the complaint. The reconsideration motion is pending.

On June 3, 2020, an alleged shareholder filed a Statement of Claim, as amended on August 12, 2020, in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, seeking, among other things, an order certifying the action as a class action on behalf of a putative class of shareholders and damages of an unspecified amount. The Amended Statement of Claim named (i) the Company, (ii) its Chief Executive Officer, (iii) former Chief Financial Officer, (iv) former Chief Financial Officer and Chief Commercial Officer, and (v) current and former members of the Board as defendants and alleged breaches of the Ontario Securities Act, oppression under the Ontario Business Corporations Act and common law misrepresentation. The Amended Statement of Claim generally alleged that certain of the Company’s prior public statements about revenues and internal controls were misrepresentations based on the Company’s March 2, 2020 disclosure that the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors was conducting a review of the appropriateness of revenue recognized in connection with certain bulk resin purchases and sales of products through the wholesale channel, and the Company’s subsequent restatement. The Amended Statement of Claim did not quantify a damage request. On June 28, 2021, the Court dismissed motions brought by the plaintiff for leave to commence a claim for misrepresentation under the Ontario Securities Act and for certification of the action as a class action. The plaintiff appealed the Court’s dismissal of the motions only with respect to the Company, the Chief Executive Officer, and the now former Chief Financial Officer; the remaining defendants were dismissed from the matter with prejudice and the Company and all individual defendants agreed not to seek costs from plaintiff in connection with the dismissal of the motions. On September 26, 2022, the Court of Appeal for Ontario reversed the Superior Court’s dismissal of the leave and certification motions, granted the plaintiff leave to proceed to bring a claim for misrepresentation under the Ontario Securities Act, and remitted the certification motion back to the Superior Court. On April 11, 2023, the plaintiff filed a Fresh as Amended Statement of Claim, which reflected the dismissal of the defendants for which an appeal was not sought, the removal of the claims for oppression under the Ontario Business Corporations Act and common law misrepresentation, as well as shortening the proposed class period. On October 10, 2023, the Superior Court certified the action on behalf of a class of persons or entities who acquired shares in the secondary market, including on the TSX and Nasdaq, during the period from May 9, 2019 to March 30, 2020, other than certain excluded persons.

(ii)Regulatory reviews relating to restatements

On October 24, 2022, the Company announced regulatory settlements as follows:

SEC Settlement

On October 24, 2022, the SEC issued an Order Instituting Cease-and-Desist Proceedings Pursuant to Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21(c) of the Exchange Act, Making Findings, and Imposing a Cease-and-Desist Order (the “Settlement Order”) resolving the Restatements.

The Company agreed to settle with the SEC, without admitting or denying the allegations described in the Settlement Order. The Settlement Order fully and finally disposed of the investigation of the Company by the SEC into the Restatements without the payment of any civil penalty or other amount.

The Settlement Order required the Company to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, Sections 10(b), 13(a), 13(b)(2)(B) of the Exchange Act and Rules 10b-5, 13a-13, 13a-15(a), 13a-16 and 12b-20 thereunder.

As a result of the Settlement Order, the Company (i) lost its status as a well-known seasoned issuer for a period of three years, (ii) is unable to rely on the private offering exemptions provided by Regulations A and D under the Securities Act for a period of five years and (iii) is unable to rely on the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for a period of three years.

OSC Settlement

On October 24, 2022, the Ontario Capital Markets Tribunal approved a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) between the Company and the staff of the Ontario Securities Commission (the “OSC”), resolving the Restatements.

Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, which fully and finally disposed the investigation of the Company by the OSC, Cronos agreed to pay a total of C$1.34 million to fully settle the matter, and acknowledged that it had failed to comply with the requirement under Section 77 of the Ontario Securities Act to file interim financial reports in the manner set out therein and had acted in a manner contrary to the public interest.

(iii)Litigation and regulatory inquiries relating to marketing, distribution, import and sale of products

On April 17, 2023, a group of plaintiffs led by the Green Leaf (Ale Yarok) political party filed a Statement of Claim and Request for Approval of a Class Action on behalf of a purported class of Israeli cannabis consumers in the District Court of Tel Aviv, Israel, against 26 cannabis-related parties, including three Cronos Israel entities. The Statement of Claim alleges that the defendants violated certain laws relating to the marketing of medical cannabis products, including marketing to unlicensed cannabis consumers. The lawsuit seeks a total of ILS 420 million. The Cronos Israel defendants moved to dismiss the action on August 13, 2023. The court granted the motion (and similar motions filed by other defendants) on May 16, 2024, dismissing the plaintiffs’ petition for class certification without prejudice and their individual claims with prejudice, and ordering the plaintiffs to pay ILS 10 thousand to each of the defendants for costs. On July 14, 2024, the plaintiffs appealed to the Supreme Court of Israel seeking to overturn both the dismissal of plaintiffs’ individual claims and the award of costs. The appeal is pending.

On January 18, 2024, the Company was notified that the Trade Levies Commissioner of the Israel Ministry of Economy and Industry initiated a public investigation of alleged dumping of medical cannabis imports from Canada into Israel. On July 9, 2024, the Commissioner announced a preliminary determination proposing to impose an anti-dumping duty on Canadian licensed producers. The Company would be subject to a proposed duty of 369%. The Commissioner determined not to impose a provisional duty at this time pending the conclusion of the Ministry’s investigation. The Company previously responded to requests for information from the Ministry and is providing additional information. The Company cannot predict the outcome of the investigation.

We expect litigation and regulatory proceedings relating to the marketing, distribution, import and sale of our products to increase.

10. Fair Value Measurements

The Company complies with ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. In general, fair values are determined by:

•Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves.

Additionally, on August 23, 2019, the Company, as lender, and Cronos GrowCo, as borrower, entered into the GrowCo Credit Facility. In August 2021, the GrowCo Credit Facility was amended to increase the aggregate principal amount available. In June 2024, the GrowCo Credit Facility was further amended to increase the aggregate principal amount available by providing a second secured non-revolving credit facility. See Note 5 “Loans Receivable, net” for additional information.

On June 20, 2024, the Company entered into an amended and restated supply agreement with Cronos GrowCo (the “Supply Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Supply Agreement, prior to the commencement of sales from Cronos GrowCo’s Phase 2 expansion area, the Company and its affiliates have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase an aggregate total quantity of 80% of what is produced by Cronos GrowCo. Thereafter, the Company and its affiliates will have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase 70% of Cronos GrowCo’s forecasted production capacity over a given period and 70% of Cronos GrowCo’s actual production in a given month. All prices for products purchased pursuant to the Supply Agreement are fixed throughout the four year term of the Supply Agreement.

(b)Vendor Agreement

In November 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with an external vendor whereby the vendor would provide certain manufacturing services to the Company. The vendor then subcontracted out a portion of those services to another company whose chief executive officer is an immediate family member of an executive of the Company. The Company purchased $603 and $1,436 of products and services under this subcontracted agreement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company had $0 and $28 in outstanding payables related to the subcontracted agreement as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

In November 2023, the Company negotiated a direct contract with the related-party vendor.

12. Subsequent Events

(a)Cronos GrowCo Amended Shareholders’ Agreement

On July 1, 2024, the Company attained majority control of the board of directors of Cronos GrowCo. As a result, the Company will consolidate the results of operations of Cronos GrowCo in its condensed consolidated financial statements beginning in the third quarter of 2024. The consolidation of Cronos GrowCo results in a business combination under ASC 805. Acquisition costs of $196 were recorded to general and administrative expense on the condensed consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive income (loss) in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The initial accounting for the GrowCo business combination is incomplete as of the issuance of these financial statements. In addition, we have not yet completed our valuations of certain assets, including inventory, fixed assets and intangible assets. As such, it is impracticable to provide certain pro-forma financial information, information on the acquisition-date fair value of our equity interest in GrowCo or the allocation of fair value to the acquired GrowCo assets and liabilities.

Certain of the Forward-Looking Statements contained herein concerning the industries in which we conduct our business are based on estimates prepared by us using data from publicly available governmental sources, market research, industry analysis and on assumptions based on data and knowledge of these industries, which we believe to be reasonable. However, although generally indicative of relative market positions, market shares and performance characteristics, such data is inherently imprecise. The industries in which we conduct our business involve risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on various factors, which are described further below.

Business Overview

Strategy

Cronos seeks to create value for shareholders by focusing on four core strategic priorities:

•growing a portfolio of iconic brands that responsibly elevate the consumer experience;

•developing a diversified global sales and distribution network;

•establishing an efficient global supply chain; and

•creating and monetizing disruptive intellectual property.

Discontinued Operations

In the second quarter of 2023, Cronos exited its U.S. hemp-derived cannabinoid product operations. The exit of the U.S. operations represented a strategic shift that has a major effect on Cronos’ operations and financial results, and as such, qualifies for reporting as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statements of net loss and comprehensive income (loss). Prior period amounts have been reclassified to reflect the discontinued operations classification of the U.S. operations. For further detail on the discontinuation of the U.S. operations, see Note 2 “Discontinued Operations” to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Business Segments

Beginning in the second quarter of 2023, following the exit of our U.S. operations, Cronos is reporting through one consolidated segment, which includes operations in both Canada and Israel. In Canada, Cronos operates one wholly owned license holder under the Cannabis Act (Canada) (the “Cannabis Act”), Peace Naturals Project Inc. (“Peace Naturals”), which has production facilities near Stayner, Ontario. In Israel, the Company operates under the IMC-GAP, IMC-GMP and IMC-GDP certifications required for the cultivation, production and marketing of dried flower, pre-rolls and oils in the Israeli medical market.

Table of Contents

Recent Developments

Middle East Conflict

Cronos continues to monitor the Middle East Conflict and potential impacts the Middle East Conflict could have on the Company’s personnel and business in Israel and the recorded amounts of assets and liabilities related to the Company’s operations in Israel. The extent to which the Middle East Conflict may impact the Company’s personnel, business and activities will depend on future developments which remain highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. It is possible that the recorded amounts of assets and liabilities related to the Company’s operations in Israel could change materially in the near term.

Transaction with Cronos GrowCo

On June 20, 2024, Cronos announced an expansion of Cronos GrowCo. The investment will be funded by an additional credit facility provided by Cronos and is intended to assist GrowCo’s expansion of its purpose-built cannabis facility to address the increased global market demand for high-quality cannabis flower.

Key highlights of the investment:

•Investment in Expansion: Cronos has provided an approximately $51 million ($70 million CAD) secured non-revolving credit facility to Cronos GrowCo to fund facility expansion, enabling growth opportunities in the markets Cronos operates in today as well as potentially enabling Cronos GrowCo to take advantage of future growth into new markets that open.

•Enhanced Governance: As of July 1, 2024, the GrowCo board of directors expanded to five members, three of whom are appointed by Cronos.

•New Supply Agreement: Prior to the commencement of sales from the expanded facility, Cronos will have the option to purchase up to 80% of Cronos GrowCo’s total production. Thereafter, Cronos will have the option to purchase up to 70% of the total production from the expanded facility.

•Financial Consolidation: Cronos will consolidate Cronos GrowCo’s results in its financial statements beginning in the third quarter of 2024.

The Canadian cannabis market has a shortage of high quality biomass and we anticipate the expansion will aid our ability to supply markets we operate in, while also fueling the potential for additional expansion. See “Risk Factors – We are anticipating shortages in raw materials and may be unable to obtain adequate supplies of raw materials in a timely manner and at commercially reasonable prices,” for further discussion of the potential impact of this shortage on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Termination of Agreement for Sale and Leaseback of Peace Naturals Campus

On May 28, 2024, the Company’s agreement with Future Farmco Canada Inc. for the sale and leaseback of the Peace Naturals Campus was terminated pursuant to its terms. The Company is continuing to evaluate its strategic options for the Peace Naturals Campus, which may include continuing and expanding operations at the facility.

Net revenue

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we reported consolidated net revenue of $27.8 million, representing an increase of $8.7 million from the three months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we reported consolidated net revenue of $53.1 million, representing an increase of $14.5 million from the six months ended June 30, 2023. For both the three and six month comparative periods, the increase was primarily due to higher cannabis flower and extract sales in the Canadian adult-use market, higher cannabis flower sales in Israel and higher cannabis flower sales in other countries, partially offset by an adverse price/mix in the Canadian cannabis flower category driving increased excise tax payments as a percentage of revenue.

Inventory write-down

For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we reported inventory write-downs of $0.4 million, compared to no inventory write-downs in the the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. For both the three and six month comparative periods, the increase was primarily due to write-downs resulting from unusable inventory that was scrapped in the period.

Cost of sales

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we reported consolidated cost of sales of $21.1 million, representing an increase of $5.1 million from the three months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we reported consolidated cost of sales of $41.9 million, representing an increase of $9.4 million from the six months ended June 30, 2023. For both the three and six month comparative periods, the increase was primarily due to higher cannabis flower and extract sales in the Canadian adult-use market, higher cannabis flower sales in Israel and higher cannabis flower sales in other countries.

Gross profit

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we reported gross profit of $6.3 million, representing an increase of $3.2 million from the three months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we reported gross profit of $10.8 million, representing an increase of $4.8 million from the six months ended June 30, 2023. For both the three and six month comparative periods, the increase was primarily due to higher cannabis flower and extract sales in the Canadian adult-use market, higher cannabis flower sales in Israel and higher cannabis flower sales in other countries, partially offset by an adverse price/mix in the Canadian cannabis flower category driving increased excise tax payments as a percentage of revenue and higher inventory write-downs.

Sales and marketing

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, sales and marketing expenses were $4.3 million, representing a decrease of $1.0 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, sales and marketing expenses were $9.7 million, representing a decrease of $1.4 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. For both the three and six month comparative periods, the decrease was primarily due to lower advertising and marketing spend.

Research and development

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, research and development expenses were $1.0 million, essentially unchanged from the three months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, research and development expenses were $2.0 million, representing a decrease of $1.2 million from the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily due to lower costs associated with the collaboration and license agreement between Ginkgo Bioworks Holdings, Inc. and the Company.

General and administrative

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, general and administrative expenses were $12.8 million, representing a decrease of $0.7 million from the three months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, general and administrative expenses were $21.7 million, representing a decrease of $3.6 million from the six months ended June 30, 2023. For both the three and six month comparative periods, the decrease was primarily due to lower professional fees, largely related to financial statement review costs, and lower salaries and benefits and insurance costs, partially offset by an increase in the expected credit loss allowance on loans receivable.

Restructuring costs

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, restructuring costs were $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively. For further information, see Note 6 “Restructuring” to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Share-based compensation

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, share-based compensation expense was $2.2 million, essentially unchanged from the three months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, share-based compensation expense was $4.3 million, representing a decrease of $0.6 million from the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to headcount reductions that occurred in the prior year.

Depreciation and amortization

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, depreciation and amortization expenses were $1.0 million, representing a decrease of $0.5 million from the three months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, depreciation and amortization expenses were $2.1 million, representing a decrease of $0.9 million from the six months ended June 30, 2023. For both the three and six month comparative periods, the decrease was primarily due to lower amortization on Ginkgo-related intangible assets and lower depreciation on property, plant and equipment.

Impairment loss on long-lived assets

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, impairment loss on long-lived assets was $2.0 million and was primarily due to the cessation of operations at Cronos Fermentation during Q1 2024. There was no such impairment loss on long-lived assets for the three months ended June 30, 2024, or the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. For further information, see Note 6 “Restructuring” to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Interest income, net

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, interest income, net was $13.5 million, representing an increase of $1.0 million from the three months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, interest income, net was $27.7 million, representing an increase of $4.1 million from the six months ended June 30, 2023. For both the three and six month comparative periods, the increase in net interest income was primarily due to higher interest rates in the current period compared to the prior periods.

Share of income (loss) from equity method investments

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, our share of income from equity method investments was $0.9 million, representing an increase of $0.6 million from the three months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, our share of income from equity method investments was $2.4 million, representing an increase of $2.6 million from the six months ended June 30, 2023. For both the three and six month comparative periods, the increase was due to higher income pick-ups from our equity method investment in Cronos GrowCo. Periodic income and loss pickups from our equity method investment in Cronos GrowCo are impacted both by the profitability of Cronos GrowCo and any unsold inventory remaining at Cronos that originated from Cronos GrowCo.

Gain (loss) on revaluation of financial instruments

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the loss on revaluation of financial instruments was $3.6 million, representing a deterioration of $8.8 million from the three months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the loss on revaluation of financial instruments was $6.3 million, representing a deterioration of $3.7 million from the six months ended June 30, 2023. The change was primarily related to the change in fair value of our investment in Vitura Health Limited (“Vitura”). For further information, see Note 4 “Investments” to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Impairment loss on other investments

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized $12.9 million and $25.7 million, respectively, of impairment loss on other investments, driven by impairment charges recorded on our PharmaCann Option for the difference between its estimated fair value and its carrying amount. There was no such impairment loss on other investments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. For further information, see Note 4 “Investments” to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Foreign currency transaction gain (loss)

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, foreign currency translation gain was $6.5 million, representing an improvement of $9.7 million from the three months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, foreign currency translation gain was $19.8 million, representing an improvement of $24.6 million from the six months ended June 30, 2023. For both the three and six month comparative periods, the change was primarily due to certain foreign currency-denominated cash equivalents and certain foreign currency-denominated intercompany loans anticipated to be settled in the foreseeable future.

Other, net

Other, net primarily includes gains and losses on the disposal of assets.

Income tax benefit

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, income tax benefit was $2.2 million, compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, income tax benefit was $2.7 million, compared to $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. For both the three and six month comparative periods, the increased benefit was driven by higher current income tax benefits recorded on the losses that will be carried back to recover taxes paid in prior years.

Loss from discontinued operations

There was no activity in discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, loss from discontinued operations was due to the exit of U.S. operations. For more information, see Note 2 “Discontinued Operations” in our condensed consolidated interim financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Non-GAAP Measures

Cronos Group reports its financial results in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). This Quarterly Report refers to measures not recognized under U.S. GAAP (“non-GAAP measures”). These non-GAAP measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these non-GAAP measures are provided as a supplement to corresponding U.S. GAAP measures to provide additional information regarding the results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All non-GAAP measures presented in this Quarterly Report are reconciled to their closest reported U.S. GAAP measure. Reconciliations of historical adjusted financial measures to corresponding U.S. GAAP measures are provided below.

Adjusted EBITDA

Management reviews Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, which excludes non-cash items and items that do not reflect management’s assessment of ongoing business performance. Management defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization adjusted for: share of (income) loss from equity method investments; impairment loss on goodwill and intangible assets; impairment loss on long-lived assets; -(gain) loss on revaluation of financial instruments; transaction costs related to strategic projects; impairment loss on other investments; foreign currency transaction loss; other, net; loss from discontinued operations; restructuring costs; inventory write-downs resulting from restructuring actions; share-based compensation; and financial statement review costs and reserves related to the restatements of our 2019 and 2021 interim financial statements (the “Restatements”), including the costs related to the settlement of the SEC’s and the Ontario Securities Commission’s (“OSC”) investigations of the Restatements and legal costs defending shareholder class action complaints brought against us as a result of the 2019 restatement (see Part II, Item 1 “Legal Proceedings” of this Quarterly Report for a discussion of the shareholder class action complaints relating to the restatement of the 2019 interim financial statements and the settlement of the SEC’s and the OSC’s investigations of the Restatements). Results are reported as total consolidated results, reflecting our reporting structure of one reportable segment.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides the most useful insight into underlying business trends and results and provides a more meaningful comparison of period-over-period results. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA for planning, forecasting and evaluating business and financial performance, including allocating resources and evaluating results relative to employee compensation targets.

Constant Currency

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have presented constant currency adjusted financial measures for net revenues, gross profit, gross profit margin, operating expenses, net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, as well as cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment balances as of June 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023, which are considered non-GAAP financial measures. We present constant currency information to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying operations performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. To present this information, current and comparative prior period income statement results in currencies other than U.S. dollars are converted into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates from the three month comparative period in 2023 rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the respective current periods; constant currency current and prior comparative balance sheet information is translated at the prior year-end spot rate rather than the current period spot rate. All growth comparisons relate to the corresponding period in 2023. We have provided this non-GAAP financial information to aid investors in better understanding the performance of our operations. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Quarterly Report should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. See further discussion on foreign currency risk as noted in Item 3 “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, net revenue on a constant currency basis was $28.3 million, representing a 49% increase from the three months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net revenue on a constant currency basis was $53.8 million, representing a 40% increase from the six months ended June 30, 2023. On a constant currency basis, net revenue increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to higher cannabis flower and extract sales in the Canadian adult-use market, higher cannabis flower sales in Israel and higher cannabis flower sales in other countries, partially offset by an adverse price/mix in the Canadian cannabis flower category driving increased excise tax payments as a percentage of revenue.

Gross profit

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, gross profit on a constant currency basis was $6.4 million, representing a 108% increase from the three months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, gross profit on a constant currency basis was $11.0 million, representing an 82% increase from the six months ended June 30, 2023. On a constant currency basis, gross profit increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to higher cannabis flower and extract sales in the Canadian adult-use market, higher cannabis flower sales in Israel and higher cannabis flower sales in other countries, partially offset by an adverse price/mix in the Canadian cannabis flower category driving increased excise tax payments as a percentage of revenue and higher inventory write-downs.

Operating expenses

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, operating expenses on a constant currency basis were $21.9 million, representing an 8% decrease from the three months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, operating expenses on a constant currency basis was $42.3 million, representing an 11% decrease from the six months ended June 30, 2023. On a constant currency basis, operating expenses decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to lower advertising and marketing spend, lower costs associated with the achievement of Ginkgo milestones, lower professional fees, largely related to financial statement review costs, and lower salaries and benefits and insurance costs.

Net loss from continuing operations

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, net loss from continuing operations on a constant currency basis was $8.2 million, representing an increased loss of $2.5 million from the three months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net loss from continuing operations on a constant currency basis was $10.6 million, representing an improvement of $13.1 million from the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis was $(10.9) million, representing a 32% improvement from the three months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis was $(21.5) million, representing a 32% improvement from the six months ended June 30, 2023. The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 on a constant currency basis was driven by higher cannabis flower and extract sales in the Canadian adult-use market, higher cannabis flower sales in Israel, decreases in general and administrative expenses and lower costs associated with the achievement of Ginkgo milestones, partially offset by an adverse price/mix in Canada in the cannabis flower category driving increased excise tax payments as a percentage of revenue.

Cash and cash equivalents & short-term investments

Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments on a constant currency basis decreased 1% to $852.8 million as of June 30, 2024 from $861.5 million as of December 31, 2023. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments is primarily due to advances of loans receivable and purchases of property, plant and equipment in the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2024, we had $848.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and no short-term investments. We believe that the existing cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to fund the business operations and capital expenditures over the next twelve months. The following table summarizes the cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities:


(In thousands of U.S. dollars)	Six months ended June 30, 2024
	2024		2023
Cash flows used in operating activities	$	(460)	$	(59,467)
Cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities	180,999		(298,964)

Net change in cash	$	178,898	$	(355,216)

Comparison of cash flows between the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the six months ended June 30, 2023

Operating activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we used $0.5 million of cash in operating activities as compared to cash used of $59.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing a decrease in cash used of $59.0 million. This change is primarily driven by a $32.8 million decrease in income taxes payable in the prior period as a result of a tax payment connected to the previously disclosed relinquishment by Altria of its warrant to purchase additional shares of the Company, a $21.5 million increase in net income after adjusting for non-cash items during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, higher interest received and lower increases in inventory, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable, net and a decrease in accounts payable.

Investing activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we generated $181.0 million of cash in investing activities, compared to $299.0 million of cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing a change of $480.0 million. This change is primarily driven by the maturity of certain short-term investments, which were reinvested as cash equivalents upon maturity in the six months ended June 30, 2024, partially offset by higher advances of loans receivable and lower loan repayments in the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Financing activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, cash used in financing activities was $0.9 million, compared to $0.8 million of cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing an increase of $0.1 million. This change is primarily driven by an increase of $0.1 million in withholding taxes paid on share-based awards during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to six months ended June 30, 2023.

Except as updated below, the Company’s market risks have not changed significantly from the market risk disclosed in Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report.

Foreign currency risk

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1. “Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk based on its net assets, liabilities, and revenues denominated in foreign currencies, including Canadian dollars and Israeli new shekels. As a result, we are exposed to foreign currency translation gains and losses. Revenue and expenses of all foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the foreign currency exchange rates that approximate the rates in effect during the period when such items are recognized. Appreciating foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar will positively impact operating income and net earnings, while depreciating foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar will have an adverse impact.

A 10% change in the exchange rates for the Canadian dollar would have affected the carrying amount of the net assets by approximately $103.4 million and $97.7 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The corresponding impact would be recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. We have not historically engaged in hedging transactions and do not currently contemplate engaging in hedging transactions to mitigate foreign exchange risks. As we continue to recognize gains and losses in foreign currency transactions, depending upon changes in future currency rates, such gains and losses could have a significant, and potentially adverse, effect on the Company’s results of operations.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company had foreign currency loss on translation of $10.2 million and $32.5 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 the Company had foreign currency gain on translation of $16.6 million and $19.0 million, respectively.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as of June 30, 2024. Based on that evaluation, management has concluded that, as of June 30, 2024, the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act were recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b)Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act), that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1: Legal Proceedings.

The information set forth under Note 9(b), Contingencies, to the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A: Risk Factors.

An investment in us involves a number of risks. A detailed discussion of our risk factors appears in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors of the Annual Report. Any of the matters highlighted in the risk factors described in the Annual Report could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, causing an investor to lose all, or part of, its, his or her investment. The risks and uncertainties described in the Annual Report are those we currently believe to be material, but they are not the only ones we face. If any of the risks described in the Annual Report, or any other risks and uncertainties that we have not yet identified or that we currently consider not to be material, actually occur or become material risks, our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and consequently the price of our securities could be materially and adversely affected.

Our new auditor may not be able to complete its review procedures in time for us to obtain a review of our financial statements for the third quarter of 2024.

The Audit Committee of the Board has approved the engagement of Davidson & Company LLP (“D&C”) as our independent auditors and our shareholders approved that appointment at our 2024 Annual Meeting. D&C have advised us that they intend to complete the work necessary to review our third quarter financial statements. However, D&C have just commenced their work and there can be no assurance that they will be able to complete the required work on a timely basis to permit the filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 within the SEC’s required time-frame.

We are anticipating shortages in raw materials and may be unable to obtain adequate supplies of raw materials in a timely manner and at commercially reasonable prices.

Our production operations require that we obtain adequate supplies of raw materials, particularly biomass, on a timely basis and at commercially reasonable prices. From time to time, including presently, there have been and are now shortages of raw materials. Industry-wide shortages in the supply of raw materials could result in industry-wide raw material price adjustments and shortages.

Cronos GrowCo’s production facilities are our principal source of raw materials. Therefore, our production operations are reliant on our ability to acquire such raw materials on a timely and cost-effective basis from Cronos GrowCo. If Cronos GrowCo is unable to meet our needs for raw materials, we may be required to source additional supply from third parties.

We may not be able to find third-party suppliers capable of supplying raw materials on a timely basis at commercially reasonable prices or in the quantities we require. If we are unable to secure the necessary raw materials, we may experience product shortages and delays, we may be unable to launch new products and we may be required to discontinue certain products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Product shortages, discontinuations or delays could result in customers listing fewer of our products, our failure to maintain or grow our market share and reputational damage, which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects.

If raw material shortages cause industry-wide prices of raw materials to rise, our costs would increase. To the extent that we are unable to offset such costs through higher prices of our products or other cost savings, our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

The imposition of an anti-dumping duty on our imports into Israel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

On January 18, 2024, the Company was notified that the Trade Levies Commissioner of the Israel Ministry of Economy and Industry initiated a public investigation of alleged dumping of medical cannabis imports from Canada into Israel. On July 9, 2024, the Commissioner announced a preliminary determination proposing to impose an anti-dumping duty on Canadian licensed producers. The Company would be subject to a proposed duty of 369%. If the Minister of Economy issues a final decision to impose an anti-dumping duty to which the Company’s imports would be subject, our ability to continue to import raw materials and cannabis products into Israel from Cronos GrowCo, the performance of our business in Israel, and our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects could be materially and negatively impacted.
