Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three and six months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020

(Unaudited, expressed in thousands of Canadian Dollars, except share amounts or where otherwise stated)

1. Description of Business

HEXO Corp. (the “Company”), is a publicly traded corporation, incorporated in Ontario. HEXO is licensed to produce and sell cannabis and cannabis products under the Cannabis Act. Its head office is located at 3000 Solandt Road Ottawa, Canada. The Company’s common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), both under the trading symbol “HEXO”.

COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a global pandemic. In response to the outbreak, governmental authorities in Canada and internationally have introduced various recommendations and measures to try to limit the pandemic, including travel restrictions, border closures, non-essential business closures, quarantines, self-isolations, shelters-in-place and social distancing. These measures are continuously monitored and modified by the applicable governmental authorities in Canada and remained in effect as at January 31, 2021. The production and sale of cannabis in Canada was deemed an essential service throughout the three and six months ended January 31, 2021.

The Company regularly monitors the impact of the ongoing pandemic on all aspects of its business and operations and as of January 31, 2021, we have not observed any material changes.

3. New Accounting Policies and Pronouncements

New Accounting Policy

CAPTIVE INSURANCE

Insurance coverage for the Company’s directors and officers has been secured through a Captive Cell program (“the Captive Program”). The Captive Program was effected by entering into a participation agreement with a registered insurer for the purposes of holding and managing the Company’s coverage funds through a separate cell account (the “Cell Captive”). The Company applies IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements in its assessment of control as it relates to the Cell Captive. The Company’s accounting policy is to consolidate the Cell Captive. Currently the Captive Program funds are held as cash in the Cell Captive with the possibility of reinvestment into short-term investments and/or marketable securities in the future. As the funds cannot be transferred to other parts of the group without providing 6 month notice, the funds are disclosed as Restricted cash. The Company recognizes gains and losses from, interest, foreign exchange activity and/or fair market value adjustments through the Statement of Loss and Comprehensive Loss.

New Accounting Procurement Not Yet Effective

AMENDMENTS TO IAS 37: ONEROUS CONTRACTS AND THE COST OF FULFILLING A CONTRACT

The amendment specifies that the ‘cost of fulfilling’ a contract comprises the ‘costs that relate directly to the contract’. Costs that relate directly to a contract consist of both the incremental costs of fulfilling that contract or an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of these amendments on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Capitalized costs relating to inventory expensed and included in Cost of goods sold were $21,192 and $40,280 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2021, respectively (January 31, 2020 – $11,331 and $21,393). The unrealized fair value gain on biological asset fair value adjustments on the consolidated statement of loss for the three and six months ended January 31, 2021 were $13,657 and $24,753, respectively (January 31, 2020 – $7,948 and $14,999). The realized fair value amounts on inventory sold on the consolidated statement of loss was $6,387 and $11,193 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2021, respectively (January 31, 2020 – $5,447 and $12,111). During the three and six months ended January 31, 2021, the Company reversed certain prior period impairment losses of $nil and $1,543, respectively (January 31, 2020 – $nil and $nil) recorded in costs of sales on the consolidated statement of loss and $nil and $688 (January 31, 2020 – $nil and $nil) of fair value recorded in fair value amounts on inventory sold.

Total share-based compensation capitalized to inventory in the six months ended January 31, 2021 was $839 (January 31, 2020 – $3,731). Total depreciation capitalized to inventory in the six months ended January 31, 2021 was $7,300 (January 31, 2020 – $5,176).

7. Biological Assets

The Company’s biological assets consist of cannabis plants throughout the growth cycle; from mother plants to plants in propagation, vegetative and flowering stages. The changes in the carrying value of biological assets are as follows:

Balance, end of period

     10,975        7,571  
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

The valuation of biological assets is based on an income approach (Level 3) in which the fair value at the point of harvesting is estimated based on selling prices less the costs to sell. For in process biological assets, the fair value at the point of harvest is adjusted based on the stage of growth at period-end.

The significant estimates used in determining the fair value of cannabis plants are as follows:

 

6


   

yield per plant;

 

   

stage of growth percentage estimated as costs incurred as a percentage of total cost as applied to the estimated total fair value per gram (less fulfilment costs) to arrive at an in-process fair value for estimated biological assets, which have not yet been harvested;

 

   

percentage of costs incurred for each stage of plant growth.

 

   

fair value selling price per gram less cost to complete and cost to sell.

 

   

destruction/wastage of plants during the harvesting and processing process.

On December 5, 2019, the Company closed a $70,000 private placement of convertible debentures. The Company issued a total of $70,000 principal amount of 8.0% unsecured convertible debentures maturing on December 5, 2022 (the “Debentures”). The Debentures are convertible at the option of the holder at any time after December 7, 2020 and prior to maturity at a conversion price of $12.64 per share (the “Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment in certain events. The Company may force the conversion of all of the then outstanding Debentures at the Conversion Price at any time after December 7, 2020 and prior to maturity on 30 days’ notice if the daily volume weighted average trading price of the common shares of the Company is greater than $30.00 for any 15 consecutive trading days.

The Company had the option to at any time on or before December 4, 2020, to repay all, but not less than all, of the principal amount of the Debentures, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Upon maturity, the holders of the Debentures have the right to require the Company

 

9


to repay any principal amount of their Debentures through the issuance of common shares of the Company in satisfaction of such amounts at a price equal to the volume weighted average trading price of the common shares on the TSX for the five trading days immediately preceding the payment date.

In May 2020, the Company provided notice to all holders of the Debentures of an option to voluntarily convert their Debentures into units of the Company (the “Conversion Units”) at a discounted early conversion price of $0.80 (the “Early Conversion Price”) calculated based on the 5-day volume weighted average HEXO Corp. market prices (the “VWAP”) preceding the announcement. The VWAP unitized data from both the TSX and NYSE. Each Conversion Unit will provide the holder one common share and one half common share purchase warrant (with an exercise price of $4.00 and term of three years). The early conversion occurred in two phases, the first being on June 10, 2020 followed by the second and final phase June 30, 2020. During phases one and two, $23,595 principal amount, or approximately 34%, and $6,265 principal amount, or approximately 9% of the Debentures were converted under the Early Conversion Price into 7,373,438 and 1,957,813 common shares and 3,686,719 and 978,906 common share purchase warrants of HEXO Corp, respectively.

On January 31, 2021, there remains $40,140 in principal debentures, the net present value of the debt was $26,600 and the remaining balance of $13,540, was allocated to the conversion feature.

The accrued and unpaid interest as at January 31, 2020 was $238.

15. Term Loan

Term Loan

On February 14, 2019, the Company entered into a syndicated credit facility with Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (“CIBC”) as Sole Bookrunner, Co-Lead Arranger and Administrative Agent and Bank of Montreal as Co-Lead Arranger and Syndication Agent (together “the Lenders”). The Lenders provided the Company with up to $65,000 in secured debt financing at a rate of interest that is expected to average in the mid-to-high 5% per annum range. The credit facility consisted of an up to $50,000 term loan (“Term Loan”) and up to $15,000 in a revolving credit facility which is limited to the Company’s working capital assets available to support funded balances. Currently, the $2,602 of the revolving credit facility is utilized through the Company’s two letters of credits (Note 25). The credit facility matures on February 14, 2022. The Company may repay the loan without penalty, at any time and the loan is secured against the Company’s property, plant and equipment. The Company shall repay at minimum 2.5% of the initial amount drawn each quarter per the terms of the credit facility agreement. On February 14, 2019, the Company received $35,000 on the Term Loan and incurred financing costs of $1,347.

During the year ended July 31, 2020 the Company amended its credit facility which resulted in:

 

  (i)

The modification of financial covenants which require the Company to:

 

  i.

Maintain a Tangible Net Worth Ratio of not more than 1:00 to 1:00 at all times;

 

  ii.

Maintain a Cash Balance of more than $15,000 at all times; and

 

  iii.

Maintain certain EBITDA requirements (as defined in the Credit Facility Agreement) with respect to each Fiscal Quarter.

 

10


The Company was in compliance with the revised financial covenants noted above as at January 31, 2021.

On July 31, 2020 the Company was not in compliance with an administrative banking covenant which mandated that the Company does not utilize a Canadian dollar operating bank account with any institution other than the Lenders. The Company was subject to the covenant 90 days after entering the syndicated credit facility on February 14, 2019. The Company received an amendment on October 29, 2020 allowing it to rectify this administrative breach by April 27, 2021. Due to the amendment being received after July 31, 2020 and within the three months ended October 31, 2020 the Company classified its Term Loan as a current liability on July 31, 2020 and has classified the Term Loan between current and long term liabilities as appropriate at January 31, 2021. As at January 31, 2021 the Company continues working towards satisfying the terms of the above amendment.

In the six months ended January 31, 2021, total interest expenses were $648 (January 31, 2020 - $186) and total interest capitalized was $313 (January 31, 2020 - $250). The non-cash interest expense relating to the amortization of deferred financing costs was $225 for the six months ended January 31, 2021 (January 31, 2020 - $387).

The following table illustrates the continuity schedule of the term loan as at January 31, 2021 and July 31, 2020:

Share-based Compensation

Share-based compensation is measured at fair value at the date of grant and are expensed over the vesting period (See Note 21 for share-based compensation allocation by expense group). In determining the amount of share-based compensation, the Company used the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to establish the fair value of stock options and RSUs granted at grant date by applying the following assumptions:

     January 31, 2021     January 31, 2020  

Exercise price (weighted average)

   $ 19.26     $ 26.93

Expected life (years) of options (weighted average)

     5       5  

Expected annualized volatility (weighted average)

     82     74

Volatility was estimated using the average historical volatility of the Company and comparable companies in the industry that have trading history and volatility history.

For the three and six months ended January 31, 2020, the Company allocated to inventory $600 and $840, respectively (January 31, 2020 – $1,070 and $3,731) of share-based compensation applicable to direct and indirect labour in the cultivation and production process.

20. Financial Instruments

Market Risk

Interest Risk

The Company has minimal exposure to interest rate risk related to any investments of cash and cash equivalents and its term loan. The Company may invest cash in highly liquid investments with short terms to maturity that would accumulate interest at prevailing rates for such investments. As at January 31, 2021, the Company had a term loan with a carrying value of $28,307 (July 31, 2020 – $29,930) (Note 15). All interest rates are fixed. An increase or decrease of 1% to the applicable interest rates would not result in a material variance to net loss.

Price Risk

Price risk is the risk of variability in fair value due to movements in equity or market prices. The Company’s level 1 and 2 investments are susceptible to price risk arising from uncertainties about their future outlook, future values and the impact of market conditions. The fair value of marketable securities and derivatives held in publicly traded entities is based on quoted market prices, which the shares of the investments can be exchanged for. The Company elected an early conversion option in the year ended July 31, 2020 in which $29,860 of the aggregate principal amount of its 8% unsecured convertible debentures (Note 13) were converted, which partially mitigates the Company’s Price Risk.

 

14


There would be no material impact (July 31, 2020 – no material impact) if the fair value of these financial assets were to increase or decrease by 10% as of January 31, 2021. The price risk exposure as at January 31, 2021 and July 31, 2020 is presented in the table below.

Credit 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 and arises principally from the Company’s trade receivables and convertible debentures receivable. As at January 31, 2021, the Company was exposed to credit related losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties.

The Company provides credit to its customers in the normal course of business and has established credit evaluation and monitoring processes to mitigate credit risk. Since the majority of the medical sales are transacted with clients that are covered under various insurance programs, and adult use sales are transacted with crown corporations, the Company has limited credit risk.

Cash and cash equivalents, certain restricted funds and short-term investments are held with four Canadian commercial banks that hold Dun and Bradstreet credit ratings of AA (July 31, 2020 – AA) and $97 is held with a credit union that does not have a publicly available credit rating. Certain restricted funds in the amount of $30,000 are managed by an insurer and are held as a cell captive within a Bermuda based private institution which does not have a publicly available credit rating. The majority of the trade receivables balance is held with crown corporations of Quebec, Ontario and Alberta. Creditworthiness of a counterparty is evaluated prior to the granting of credit. The Company has estimated the expected credit loss using a lifetime credit loss approach. The current expected credit loss for the six months ended January 31, 2021 is $34 (July 31, 2020 - $35).

In measuring the expected credit losses, the adult-use cannabis trade receivables have been assessed on a per customer basis as they consist of a low number of material contracts. Medical trade receivables have been assessed collectively as they have similar credit risk characteristics. They have been grouped based on the days past due.

Credit risk from the convertible debenture receivable arises from the possibility that principal and/or interest due may become uncollectible. The Company mitigates this risk by managing and monitoring the underlying business relationship.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and trade receivables represents the maximum exposure to credit risk and as at January 31, 2021; this amounted to $198,437 (July 31, 2020 – $211,860).

The following table summarizes the Company’s aging of trade receivables as at January 31, 2021 and July 31, 2020:

Economic Dependence Risk

Economic dependence risk is the risk of reliance upon a select number of customers, which significantly impacts the financial performance of the Company. For the three months ended January 31, 2021, the Company’s recorded sales to the crown corporations; Société québécoise du cannabis (“SQDC”) the Ontario Cannabis Store (“OCS”) and the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis agency (“ALGC”) representing 47%, 18% and 18%, respectively (January 31, 2020 – one crown corporation representing 83%) of total applicable periods gross cannabis sales.

For the six months ended January 31, 2021, the Company’s recorded sales to the crown corporations; Société québécoise du cannabis (“SQDC”), the Alberta Gaming Liquor and Cannabis agency (“ALGC”) and the Ontario Cannabis Store (“OCS”), representing 51%, 18% and 17%, respectively (January 31, 2020 – one crown corporation representing 75%) of total applicable periods gross cannabis sales.

The Company holds trade receivables from the crown corporations SQDC, OCS and the AGLC representing 25%, 26% and 24%, respectively, of total trade receivable, respectively as at January 31, 2021 (July 31, 2020 – the two crown corps SQDC and OCS representing 47% and 25% of total trade receivables, respectively).

 

15


Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by reviewing on an ongoing basis its capital requirements. As at January 31, 2021, the Company had $129,355 (July 31, 2020 – $184,173) of cash and cash equivalents and $30,738 (July 31, 2020 – $19,426) in trade receivables.

The Company has current liabilities of $73,715 and contractual commitments of $6,233 due before July 31, 2022. The Company’s existing cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables are expected to provide sufficient liquidity to meet cash outflow requirements over the next twelve months.

The Company’s success in executing on its longer-term strategy is dependent upon its ability to fund the repayment of existing borrowings and to generate positive cash flows from operations. If additional liquidity is required, management plans to secure the necessary financing through the issuance of new public or private equity or debt instruments. There is no assurance that additional future funding will be available to the Company, or that it will be available on terms which are acceptable to management.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short-term to maturity.

Foreign Currency Risk

On January 31, 2021, the Company held certain financial assets and liabilities denominated in United States Dollars (“USD”) which consist of cash and cash equivalents, and warrant liabilities. The Company does not currently use foreign exchange contracts to hedge its exposure of its foreign currency cash flows as management has determined that this risk is not significant. The Company closely monitors relevant economic information to minimize its net exposure to foreign currency risk. The Company is exposed to unrealized foreign exchange risk through its cash and cash equivalents. As at January 31, 2021, approximately $31,854 USD ($40,710) (July 31, 2020 – $42,981 USD ($57,652)) of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents was in USD. A 1% change in the foreign exchange rate would result in a change of $407 to the unrealized gain or loss on foreign exchange or on the gain or loss on financial instrument revaluation of USD denominated warrants.

Related Parties and Transactions

Belleville Complex Inc.

The Company holds a 25% interest in Belleville Complex Inc. (“BCI”) with the related party Olegna Holdings Inc., a company owned and controlled by a director of the Company, holding the remaining 75% in BCI. BCI purchased a configured 2,004,000 sq. ft. facility through a $20,279 loan issued and repaid during the year ended July 31, 2019. The Company will be the anchor tenant for a 15-year, with an option to renew for 15 years and additional space to rent. The Company has also subleased a portion of the space to Truss Limited Partnership (Note 8). Consideration for the 25% interest on the joint venture is deemed $nil.

As of January 31, 2021, the Company is named as a defendant in securities class actions that have been filed in superior courts of the provinces of Quebec and in the Supreme Court of the State of New York and the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. One or more of the Company’s current and/or former officers and directors, and/or certain underwriters of past public offerings by the Company, are also named as defendants in certain of the actions. The lawsuits assert causes of action under Canadian and U.S. securities legislation in connection with statements made by the defendants that are alleged to have been materially false and/or misleading statements and their alleged failure to disclose material adverse facts. The alleged misrepresentations relate to, among other things, the Company’s forward-looking information, including but not limited to the Company’s forecast revenues for Q4 2019 and fiscal 2020, its inventory, “channel stuffing” and the Company’s supply agreement with the Province of Quebec. As at the date hereof, the amounts claimed for damages in each of these actions have not been quantified. These actions are in a preliminary stage and have not yet been certified as class actions. In November, 2020, the Superior Court of Justice of Ontario ordered the discontinuance of two putative securities class actions commenced in Ontario relating to the same matters on a without costs basis.

While the Company cannot predict the outcome of the actions discussed above, it intends to assert all available defences and vigorously defend these proceedings. Defending litigation, whether or not meritorious, is time-consuming for our management and detracts from our ability to fully focus our internal resources on our business activities. In addition, legal fees and costs incurred in connection with such activities may be significant and we could, in the future, be subject to judgments or enter into settlements of claims for significant monetary damages. Further, the Company’s underwriting agreement with the underwriters contains contractual indemnification provisions that may require the Company to indemnify the underwriters with respect to the claims against them and their legal costs of defending the actions. A decision adverse to our interests could result in the payment of substantial damages and could have a material adverse effect on our cash flow, results of operations and financial position, and the limits of available insurance may be insufficient to cover our eventual liability.

As of January 31, 2021, the Company was named as a defendant in a proposed consumer protection class action filed on June 18, 2020 in the Court of Queens’ Bench in Alberta on behalf of residents of Canada who purchased cannabis products over specified periods of time. Several other licensed producers are also named as co-defendants in the action. The lawsuit asserts causes of action, including for breach of contract and breach of consumer protection legislation, arising out of allegations that the Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or Cannabidiol (CBD) content of medicinal and recreational cannabis products sold by the Company and the other defendants to consumers was different from what was advertised on the products’ labels. Many of the cannabis products sold by the Company and other defendants were allegedly sold to consumers in containers using plastic bottles or caps that may have rapidly absorbed or degraded the THC or CBD content within them. By allegedly over-representing the true amount of THC or CBD in the products, the plaintiff claims that consumers would be required to consume substantially more product than they otherwise would have in order to obtain the desired effects or, in the alternative, would have consumed the product without obtaining the desired effects. The action has not yet been certified as a class action.

ONEROUS CONTRACT

During the year ended July 31, 2020, the Company recognized a $4,763 onerous contract provision related to a fixed price supply agreement for the supply of certain cannabis products. The supply agreement is currently the subject of legal proceedings as disclosed above. The costs and purchase obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received. The related losses for the three and six months ended January 31, 2021 were $nil and $nil, respectively (January 31, 2020 $3,000 and $3,000) and are included in Other gains and losses. The onerous contract liability remains in place as at January 31, 2021.

32. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate was nil% for the six months ended January 31, 2021 (January 31, 2020 – 1.65%). The effective tax rate is different than the statutory rate primarily due to the non-recognition of deferred tax assets.

33. Prepaid Supply Agreement

On December 31, 2020, the Company entered into an exclusivity agreement with Zenabis Global Inc. (“Zenabis”), to purchase $7,000 of specific dried cannabis strains on delivery terms to be determined at a later date. At the Company’s discretion, as an alternative to receiving $7,000 of dried cannabis in the purchase agreement, the Company had the ability to enter into a private placement transaction with Zenabis. The Placement would be subject to applicable regulatory approvals, including from the TSX. As at January 31, 2021 the Company has recognized a prepaid asset of $7,000 however elected the private placement option subsequent to the period end (see Note 34).

34. Subsequent Events

Definitive Arrangement to Acquire Zenabis Global Inc.

Subsequent to the period, the Company entered into a definitive arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”), subject to Zenabis shareholder approval, under which the Company intends to acquire, by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), all of Zenabis’ issued and outstanding common shares in an all-share transaction valued at approximately $235,000 (the “Transaction”). Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, Zenabis shareholders are expected to receive 0.01772 of a HEXO common share in exchange for each Zenabis common share held (the “Exchange Ratio”).

The Transaction was unanimously approved by the board of directors of each of the Company and Zenabis (in the case of Zenabis’ board of directors, after receiving the unanimous recommendation of a special committee formed for purposes of the Transaction). The Transaction will require approval by at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by the shareholders of Zenabis present at a special meeting of Zenabis shareholders at a pending future date.

The Arrangement Agreement includes customary provisions, including non-solicitation provisions, subject to the right of Zenabis to accept a superior proposal in certain circumstances, with HEXO having a period of five business days to exercise a right to match any such superior proposal for Zenabis. The Arrangement Agreement also provides for a termination fee of $6,000 payable by Zenabis to HEXO if the Transaction is terminated in certain specified circumstances, as well as reciprocal expense reimbursement fees if the Transaction is terminated by either party in certain other specified circumstances.

The transaction is expected to be treated as business acquisition under IFRS 3, accounted for using the acquisition method.

Issuance of $19.5 Million 8% Unsecured Debenture to Zenabis Global Inc.

In conjunction with entering into the Arrangement Agreement, on February 15, 2021 Zenabis entered into an agreement with HEXO for the issuance of an unsecured convertible debenture to the Company in a principal amount of $19,500. On this date, HEXO advanced Zenabis $12,500 in cash and the previous supply prepayment extended by HEXO to Zenabis on December 31, 2020 in the amount of $7,000 (see Note 33) was converted to a convertible debenture receivable. The unsecured convertible debenture bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum and matures on February 15, 2023.
