Canopy Growth Corp Q2 2020 Financial Results - RICH TV LIVE - NOVEMBER 14, 2019 - Canopy Growth Corporation (“Canopy Growth” or the “Company”) (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC) today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended September 30, 2019. All financial information in this press release is reported in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated. This press release is intended to be read in conjunction with the Company’s Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Management Discussion & Analysis for the three and six months ended September 30, 2019, which will be filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) and will be available at www.canopygrowth.com. Key highlights include:
The company has established leading market share across the country including a noteworthy share of over 35% in Alberta, Canada’s most developed provincial recreational market.
Consumer demand for cannabis continues to increase versus Q1 2020 with Company-owned recreational same-store sales growth of 17% and global medical organic growth of 23%.
More than 30 SKUs submitted to Health Canada for Cannabis 2.0 products across chocolate, vapes, and beverage formats.
As part of a management-initiated portfolio review, the Company has taken a restructuring charge of $32.7 million for returns, return provisions, and pricing allowances primarily related to its softgel & oil portfolio.
Additionally, management has recorded an inventory charge of $15.9 million to align the portfolio with the new strategy. This new strategy includes new retail pricing architecture, a rationalized package assortment, and a focused marketing/educational strategy to further develop this category. The Q2 2020 gross margin impact of the portfolio restructuring costs is $40.4 million. With this acute restructuring charge, management believes that current inventory levels both internally and externally are in-line with demand forecasts.
Consolidated Q2 2020 gross revenue, excluding the portfolio restructuring costs, was up 6% to $118.3 million including increases from full-quarter benefits of the C3 and ThisWorks acquisitions (flat excluding incremental revenue from acquisitions). Net of the portfolio restructuring costs, revenue was $76.6 million, a decrease of 15% over Q1 2020.
Cannabis gross revenues for Q2 2020, excluding the portfolio restructuring costs, was $94.7 million, an increase of 2% over Q1 2020.
The Company ended Q2 2020 with $2.7 billion in cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities available for sale, with its Canadian Infrastructure and global M&A programs substantially completed.
Management Commentary
The last two quarters have been challenging for the Canadian cannabis sector as provinces have reduced purchases to lower inventory levels, retail store openings have fallen short of expectations, and Cannabis 2.0 products are yet to come to market.
However, we believe these conditions are a short-term headwind in what is a brand-new industry, and Canopy continues to be best positioned with cash-on-hand, a world-class infrastructure, and a portfolio of intellectual property to deliver sustained, long-term market leadership.
Added Zekulin: “We took the necessary steps to address inventory levels on our oils and softgels; looking beyond this, the fundamentals are strong: our retail store sales are growing on an overall and same-store basis, our Canadian medical revenues are up, and international medical sales are growing on both an organic and inorganic basis. And, even though revenue is muted during the quarter due to the restructuring charge.
