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 111 Peter St., Suite 300, Toronto, Ontario, M5V 2H1. The Company’s common shares are currently 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 Group 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 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 accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 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, 2022 (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 has 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.

(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. Historically, the Company has 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,
	2023		2022
Cannabis flower	$	14,014	$	15,739
Cannabis extracts	4,926		5,582
Other	81		281
Net revenue	$	19,021	$	21,602

Israel	10,487		16,342
Net revenue	$	38,516	$	44,307

(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 $943,884 and $987,836 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $69 and $219, respectively, in expected credit losses that have been recognized on receivables from contracts with customers.

(g)Adoption of new accounting pronouncements

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU No. 2022-02”). ASU No. 2022-02 eliminates the existing troubled debt restructuring recognition and measurement guidance, and instead aligns the accounting treatment to that of other loan modifications. The amendments enhance existing disclosure requirements and introduce new requirements related to certain modifications of receivables made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. ASU No. 2022-02 also requires that entities disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. The adoption of ASU No. 2022-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

(h)New accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU No. 2022-03”). ASU No. 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. ASU 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and we expect to adopt ASU 2022-03 prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2022-03 to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

2. Discontinued Operations

In the second quarter of 2023, the Company exited its then-existing U.S. hemp-derived cannabinoid product operations. Accordingly, the net loss of the U.S. operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are reported separately as loss from discontinued operations on the condensed consolidated statements of net loss and comprehensive income (loss).

Cronos Growing Company Inc. (“Cronos GrowCo”)	50%	$	17,646	$	18,755
		$	17,646	$	18,755

On June 30, 2023, the Company received a dividend of C$1,750 ($1,322) from Cronos GrowCo, which reduced the Company’s carrying amount in the investment.

(b)Other investments

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

PharmaCann, Inc.

In 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, which represented an ownership interest of approximately 10.5% as of the purchase date of the PharmaCann Option, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $110,392. The PharmaCann Option is classified as an equity security without a readily determinable fair value. The Company has elected to measure the fair value of the PharmaCann Option at cost less impairment, 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, 2023, the Company’s proforma ownership percentage in PharmaCann on a fully-diluted basis was approximately 6.3%. The decrease in the Company’s ownership percentage since acquisition does not materially affect the Company’s rights under the PharmaCann Option.

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 income (loss). The PharmaCann Option is measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and is a level 3 asset. See Note 11 “Fair Value Measurements” for more information on the fair value hierarchy.

	$	118,392	$	1,996	$	(11,238)	$	(481)	$	108,669

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, 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 a combination of the market and income approaches. Under the income approach, significant inputs used in the discounted cash flow method were the discount rate, growth rates, cash flow projections, and the timing of federal legalization of cannabis in the U.S. Under the market valuation approach, the key assumptions that require judgment under the Guideline Public Companies method are cash flow projections, selected multiples and the discount for lack of marketability. As a result of this analysis, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $11,238 during the six months ended June 30, 2022, 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 income (loss).

The summaries below are qualified entirely by the terms and conditions fully set out in the Investor Rights Agreement.

a.The Company granted to Altria, subject to certain qualifications and limitations, upon the occurrence of certain issuances of common shares of the Company executed by the Company (including issuances pursuant to the research and development (“R&D”) partnership with Ginkgo Bioworks Holdings, Inc. (“Ginkgo”), the right to purchase up to such number of common shares of the Company in order to maintain their ownership percentage of issued and outstanding common shares of the Company immediately preceding any issuance of shares by the Company (“Pre-emptive Rights”), at the same price per common share of the Company at which the common shares are sold in the relevant issuance; provided that if the consideration paid in connection with any such issuance is non-cash, the price per common share of the Company that would have been received had such common shares been issued for cash consideration will be determined by an independent committee (acting reasonably and in good faith); provided further that the price per common share of the Company to be paid by Altria pursuant to its exercise of its Pre-emptive Rights related to the Ginkgo Collaboration Agreement will be C$16.25 per common share. These rights may not be exercised if Altria’s ownership percentage of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company falls below 20%.

Fluctuations in the expected life of the derivative instruments and the Company’s share price are primary drivers for the changes in the derivative valuations during each reporting period. As the period of time that the derivative liability is expected to be outstanding decreases and the share price decreases, the fair value typically decreases for each related derivative instrument. Weighted-average expected life and share price are two of the significant observable inputs used in the fair value measurement of each of the Company’s derivative instruments.

Weighted-average expected life (in years)(ii)	0.25	0.59
Expected annualized volatility(iii)	73%	73%
Expected dividend yield	—%	—%

(i)The risk-free interest rate was based on Bank of Canada government treasury bills and bonds with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the derivative liabilities. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the risk-free interest rate uses a range of approximately 4.46% to 4.89% and 3.81% to 4.37%, respectively, for the Pre-emptive Rights and Top-up Rights.

(ii)The expected life represents the period of time, in years, that the derivative liabilities are expected to be outstanding. The expected life of the Pre-emptive Rights and Top-up Rights is determined based on the expected term of the underlying options, warrants, and shares, to which the Pre-emptive Rights and Top-up Rights are linked. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the expected life uses a range of approximately 1.00 years to 2.25 years and 0.25 years to 2.75 years, respectively, for the Pre-emptive Rights and Top-up Rights.

(iii)Volatility was based on an equally weighted blended historical and implied volatility level of the underlying equity securities of the Company.

7. 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 are 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. The Realignment initiatives were intended to position the Company to drive profitable and sustainable growth over time.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized $978 and $3,009, respectively, of restructuring costs in connection with the Realignment, including the change in the nature of operations at the Peace Naturals Campus. Charges related thereto include employee-related costs such as severance, relocation and other termination benefits, as well as contract termination and other related costs. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred no restructuring costs in its continuing operations. Restructuring costs incurred in the Company’s discontinued operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 is presented in Note 2 “Discontinued Operations.”

(a)Share-based award plans

The Company has granted stock options, restricted share units (“RSUs”) and deferred share units (“DSUs”) to employees and non-employee directors under the Stock Option Plan dated May 26, 2015 (the “2015 Stock Option Plan”), the 2018 Stock Option Plan dated June 28, 2018 (the “2018 Stock Option Plan” and, together with the 2015 Stock Option Plan, the “Prior Option Plans”), the Employment Inducement Award Plan #1 (the “Employment Inducement Award Plan”), the 2020 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan dated March 29, 2020 (the “2020 Omnibus Plan”) and the DSU Plan dated August 10, 2019 (the “DSU Plan”). The Company can no longer make grants under the Prior Option Plans or the Employment Inducement Award Plan.

The following table summarizes the total share-based compensation expense associated with the Company’s stock options, RSUs and liability-classified awards for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

Total share-based compensation	$	2,331	$	2,583	$	4,866	$	6,199

(b)Stock options

Vesting conditions for grants of options are determined by the Compensation Committee. The typical vesting for stock option grants made under the 2020 Omnibus Plan is annual vesting over three to five years with a maximum term of ten years. The typical vesting for stock option grants made under the Prior Option Plans is quarterly vesting over three to five years with a maximum term of seven years. The Prior Option Plans did not, and the 2020 Omnibus Plan does not, authorize grants of options with an exercise price below fair market value.

9. 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,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Basic and diluted loss per share computation
Net loss from continuing operations attributable to the shareholders of Cronos Group	$	(5,526)	$	(17,410)	$	(23,473)	$	(45,760)
Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for computation for basic and diluted loss per share(i)	380,961,682		376,031,860		380,792,802		375,530,077
Basic loss from continuing operations per share	$	(0.01)	$	(0.05)	$	(0.06)	$	(0.12)

(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, 2023 and 2022, total securities of 28,769,758 and 119,589,123, 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, 2023 and 2022, total securities of 29,428,093 and 118,906,603, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted shares outstanding because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

10. 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 now former Chief Financial Officer. The court has 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 control were incorrect based on the Company’s disclosures relating to the Audit Committee of the Board’s 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. Defendants moved to dismiss on February 8, 2021.

Cronos Group Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(In thousands of U.S. dollars, except share amounts)	Table of Contents

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 names (i) the Company, (ii) its Chief Executive Officer, (iii) now 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 alleges breaches of the Ontario Securities Act, oppression under the Ontario Business Corporations Act and common law misrepresentation. The Amended Statement of Claim generally alleges that certain of the Company’s prior public statements about revenues and internal control were misrepresentations based on the Company’s March 2, 2020 disclosure that the Audit Committee of the Board 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 does 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.

(ii)Regulatory reviews relating to restatements

The Company has been responding to requests for information from various regulatory authorities relating to its previously disclosed restatement of its financial statements for the first three quarters of 2019 as well as the previously disclosed restatement of the second quarter of 2021 interim financial statements (collectively, the “Restatements”). The Company has been responding to all such requests for information and cooperating with all regulatory authorities.

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 (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 has agreed to settle with the SEC, without admitting or denying the allegations described in the Settlement Order. The Settlement Order fully and finally disposes 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. Additionally, the Company agreed to certain undertakings, which include, among other things, retaining a qualified independent consultant (the “Consultant”) to engage in a review of, and make recommendations with respect to, certain of the Company’s internal accounting controls and internal control over financing reporting. The Consultant’s review has been completed.

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 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 Securities Act (Ontario) to file interim financial reports in the manner set out therein and had acted in a manner contrary to the public interest. Additionally, the Company agreed to retain the Consultant to engage in a review of, and make recommendations with respect to, certain of the Company’s internal accounting controls and internal control over financing reporting, on substantially the same terms as were required by the SEC pursuant the Settlement Agreement. The Consultant’s review has been completed.

(iii)Litigation relating to marketing, distribution 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.

11. 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.

•Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

	June 30, 2023
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

(i)On June 14, 2021, the Company purchased an option to acquire 473,787 shares of Class A Common Stock of 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. On February 28, 2022, PharmaCann closed its previously announced transaction with LivWell Holdings Inc. (“LivWell”) pursuant to which PharmaCann acquired LivWell (“the LivWell Transaction”). LivWell is a multi-state cannabis cultivation and retail leader based in Colorado. As a result of the LivWell Transaction, the Company’s ownership percentage in PharmaCann on a fully diluted basis decreased to approximately 6.4%. As of both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s ownership percentage in PharmaCann on a fully diluted basis was approximately 6.3%. See Note 4 “Investments.”

There were no transfers between fair value categories during the periods presented.

12. Impairment Loss on Long-lived Assets

(a)Right-of-use assets and property, plant, and equipment, net

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $1,986 related to the right-of-use lease asset associated with the Company’s corporate headquarters, encompassing approximately 29,000 square feet, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, for which the Company determined it would seek a sublease. In addition, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $1,507 during the six months ended June 30, 2022 related to leasehold improvements and other office equipment that it plans to include in any potential sublease agreement. The determination to seek a sublease of the property and include leasehold improvements and other office equipment in any potential sublease agreement triggered the impairment charges. Both of the impairment charges are recognized as impairment loss on long-lived assets on the condensed consolidated statements of net loss and comprehensive income (loss).

13. Related Party Transactions

(a)Cronos GrowCo

The Company holds a variable interest in Cronos GrowCo through its ownership of 50% of Cronos GrowCo’s common shares and senior secured debt in Cronos GrowCo. See Note 4 “Investments” for additional information.

The Company made the following purchases of cannabis products from Cronos GrowCo:

As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company had payables outstanding to Cronos GrowCo of $2,682 and $2,519, respectively.

Additionally, on August 23, 2019, the Company, as lender, and Cronos GrowCo, as borrower, entered into the GrowCo Facility. See Note 5 “Loans Receivable, net” for additional information.

(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 has no direct contractual relationship with the related party.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company purchased $603 and $1,436, respectively, of products and services under this agreement and had outstanding accounts payable related to the agreement of $45 and $nil as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

14. Subsequent Events

(a)    Planned Exit of the Fermentation Facility

On August 4, 2023, the Board approved plans to wind-down operations at its Winnipeg, Manitoba facility (“Cronos Fermentation”) and list the Cronos Fermentation facility for sale. The Company expects to incur approximately $1,200 in restructuring costs associated with the exit of Cronos Fermentation facility. These charges include employee-related costs such as severance, relocation and other termination benefits, as well as contract termination and other related costs, which are expected to be incurred primarily in the second half of 2023, but do not include any impairment charges to property, plant or equipment. These anticipated charges are subject to a number of assumptions, including the ability to wind down Cronos Fermentation efficiently and effectively, the length of the sales process, the bids received in the sale process, market factors and others. As a result of these assumptions, actual results may differ materially. The Company cannot, at this time, quantify the impairment charges, if any, to long-lived assets associated with the wind-down.

(b)    Cost Reductions

Also on August 4, 2023, the Board approved additional organization-wide cost reductions. Expected restructuring costs of approximately $2,000, with the majority expected to be incurred in the second half of 2023, include mostly one-time employee-related severance charges. These anticipated costs are subject to a number of assumptions, including the ability of the Company to effectively and efficiently further streamline operations, the number of employee reductions, the timing of employee reductions, the level of the Company’s operations, market factors and others. As a result of these assumptions, actual results may differ materially.

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.

The Forward-Looking Statements contained herein are based upon certain material assumptions that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making a forecast or projection, including: (i) our ability to efficiently and effectively wind-down our operations at our Winnipeg, Manitoba facility and realize the expected cost-savings and other benefits related thereto, (ii) our ability to efficiently and effectively wind-down our operations in the U.S. and realize the expected cost-savings and other benefits related thereto, (iii) our ability to realize the expected cost-savings, efficiencies and other benefits of our Realignment and other announced cost-cutting measures and employee turnover related thereto; (iv) our ability to efficiently and effectively wind-down our cultivation and certain production activities at the Peace Naturals Campus, receive the benefits of the change in the nature of our operations at our Peace Naturals Campus and acquire raw materials on a timely and cost-effective basis from third parties, including Cronos GrowCo; (v) our ability to realize anticipated benefits, synergies or generate revenue, profits or value from our acquisitions and strategic investments; (vi) the production and manufacturing capabilities and output from our facilities and our joint ventures, strategic alliances and equity investments; (vii) government regulation of our activities and products including, but not limited to, the areas of cannabis taxation and environmental protection; (viii) the timely receipt of any required regulatory authorizations, approvals, consents, permits and/or licenses; (ix) consumer interest in our products; (x) competition; (xi) anticipated and unanticipated costs; (xii) our ability to generate cash flow from operations; (xiii) our ability to conduct operations in a safe, efficient and effective manner; (xiv) our ability to hire and retain qualified staff, and acquire equipment and services in a timely and cost-efficient manner; (xv) our ability to exercise the PharmaCann Option and realize the anticipated benefits of the transaction with PharmaCann; (xvi) our ability to complete planned dispositions, and, if completed, obtain our anticipated sales price; (xvii) our ability, and the abilities of our joint ventures and our suppliers and distributors, to effectively deal with the restrictions, limitations and health issues presented by the COVID-19 pandemic and the ability to continue our production, distribution and sale of our products and customer demand for and use of our products; (xviii) general economic, financial market, regulatory and political conditions in which we operate; (xix) management’s perceptions of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments; and (xx) other considerations that management believes to be appropriate in the circumstances. While our management considers these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available to management, there is no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.

28

By their nature, Forward-Looking Statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties that may be general or specific and which give rise to the possibility that expectations, forecasts, predictions, projections or conclusions will not prove to be accurate, that assumptions may not be correct, and that objectives, strategic goals and priorities will not be achieved. A variety of factors, including known and unknown risks, many of which are beyond our control, could cause actual results to differ materially from the Forward-Looking Statements in this Quarterly Report and other reports we file with, or furnish to, the SEC and other regulatory agencies and made by our directors, officers, other employees and other persons authorized to speak on our behalf. Such factors include, without limitation, that we may not be able to wind-down our operations at our Winnipeg, Manitoba facility in a disciplined and cost-effective manner or achieve the anticipated benefits thereof or be able to access raw materials on a timely and cost-effective basis from third-parties; that we may be unable to further streamline our operations and reduce expenses; that we may not be able to wind-down our U.S. operations in a disciplined and cost-effective manner or achieve the anticipated benefits thereof or be able to effectively and efficiently re-enter the U.S. market in the future; that we may not able to wind-down cultivation and certain production activities at the Peace Naturals Campus in a disciplined manner or achieve the anticipated benefits of the change in the nature of our operations or be able to access raw materials on a timely and cost-effective basis from third-parties, including Cronos GrowCo; the risk that the COVID-19 pandemic and the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine may disrupt our operations and those of our suppliers and distribution channels and negatively impact the demand for and use of our products; the risk that cost savings and any other synergies from the Altria Investment may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; failure to execute key personnel changes; the risks that our Realignment, the change in the nature of our operations at the Peace Naturals Campus and our further leveraging of our strategic partnerships will not result in the expected cost-savings, efficiencies and other benefits or will result in greater than anticipated turnover in personnel; lower levels of revenues; the lack of consumer demand for our cannabis products; our inability to reduce expenses at the level needed to meet our projected net change in cash and cash equivalents; our inability to manage disruptions in credit markets or changes to our credit ratings; unanticipated future levels of capital, environmental or maintenance expenditures, general and administrative and other expenses; growth opportunities not turning out as expected; the lack of cash flow necessary to execute our business plan (either within the expected timeframe or at all); difficulty raising capital; the potential adverse effects of judicial, regulatory or other proceedings, or threatened litigation or proceedings, on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows; volatility in and/or degradation of general economic, market, industry or business conditions; compliance with applicable environmental, economic, health and safety, energy and other policies and regulations and in particular health concerns with respect to vaping and the use of cannabis in vaping devices; the unexpected effects of actions of third parties such as competitors, activist investors or federal (including U.S. federal), state, provincial, territorial or local regulatory authorities or self-regulatory organizations; adverse changes in regulatory requirements in relation to our business and products; legal or regulatory obstacles that could prevent us from being able to exercise the PharmaCann Option and thereby realizing the anticipated benefits of the transaction with PharmaCann; dilution of our fully diluted ownership of PharmaCann and the loss of our rights as a result of that dilution; a delay in our remediation of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and the improvement of our control environment and our systems, processes and procedures; and the factors discussed under Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of the Annual Report and under Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Reports. Readers are cautioned to consider these and other factors, uncertainties and potential events carefully and not to put undue reliance on Forward-Looking Statements.

Forward-Looking Statements are provided for the purposes of assisting the reader in understanding our financial performance, financial position and cash flows as of and for periods ended on certain dates and to present information about management’s current expectations and plans relating to the future, and the reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on these Forward-Looking Statements because of their inherent uncertainty and to appreciate the limited purposes for which they are being used by management. While we believe that the assumptions and expectations reflected in the Forward-Looking Statements are reasonable based on information currently available to management, there is no assurance that such assumptions and expectations will prove to have been correct. Forward-Looking Statements are made as of the date they are made and are based on the beliefs, estimates, expectations and opinions of management on that date. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any Forward-Looking Statements, whether as a result of new information, estimates or opinions, future events or results or otherwise or to explain any material difference between subsequent actual events and such Forward-Looking Statements. The Forward-Looking Statements contained in this Quarterly Report and other reports we file with, or furnish to, the SEC and other regulatory agencies and made by our directors, officers, other employees and other persons authorized to speak on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.

Business Overview

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®.

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 two wholly owned license holders under the Cannabis Act (Canada) (the “Cannabis Act”), Peace Naturals Project Inc. (“Peace Naturals”), which has production facilities near Stayner, Ontario (the “Peace Naturals Campus”), and Thanos Holdings Ltd., known as Cronos Fermentation (“Cronos Fermentation”), which has a production facility in Winnipeg, Manitoba. 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.

Recent Developments

Brand and Product Portfolio

In the second quarter of 2023, the Company expanded its number-one-ranking gummy portfolio with two new flavors, Pink Lemonade and Strawberry Kiwi, under the SOURZ by Spinach® brand.

In July 2023, the Company expanded its vape offering under the Spinach® brand by launching 1.2 gram vapes, featuring 1,000mg of THC per cartridge. The initial flavor offerings under this new size format are Peach Punch, Pink Lemonade and Strawberry Slurricane.

Cronos continued to elevate its pre-roll offering under the Spinach® brand by launching three new infused pre-rolls during the second quarter of 2023. The Spinach® Fully Charged infused pre-roll line extension includes Peach Punch, Pink Lemonade and Strawberry Slurricane.

In Israel, Cronos launched two new pre-roll offerings under the Peace Naturals® brand, Wedding Rolls and Cocoa Bomba, in addition to a new flower offering with our successful Space Cake genetic.

Strategic and Organizational Update

In May 2023, Cronos simultaneously announced the discontinuation of the U.S. segment and the planned repurposing of the Lord Jones® brand, by bringing the brand back to its adult-use roots in Canada in the fourth quarter of 2023.

In August 2023, following a careful evaluation of the Company’s global supply chain, the Company announced the planned wind-down of Cronos Fermentation, with intentions to list the facility for sale. The Company expects to incur charges of approximately $1.2 million in connection with the planned exit. These charges include employee-related costs, such as severance, relocation and other termination benefits, as well as contract termination and other related costs, which are expected to be incurred primarily in the second half of 2023. Cronos expects to continue to operate the Cronos Fermentation facility with a phased reduction and planned exit by the end of 2023.

Also in August 2023, the Company announced organization-wide cost reductions. Expected restructuring costs of approximately $2.0 million, with the majority expected to be incurred in the second half of 2023, include mostly one-time employee-related severance charges.

Global Supply Chain

In July 2023, Cronos signed an agreement with one of the leading distributors of medical cannabis in Germany. Cronos anticipates commencing shipments of cannabis to Germany in the third quarter of 2023. Cronos intends to launch the Peace Naturals® medical-focused brand in Germany with a goal to make it a top brand similar to our success in Israel.

(i)Gross margin is defined as gross profit divided by net revenue.

Net revenue

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we reported consolidated net revenue of $19.0 million, representing a decrease of $2.6 million from the three months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we reported consolidated net revenue of $38.5 million, representing a decrease of $5.8 million from the six months ended June 30, 2022. For both the three and six month comparative periods, the decrease was primarily due to lower cannabis flower sales in Israel due to competitive activity, the slowdown in patient permit authorizations and geopolitical unrest, and an adverse price/mix in Canada in the cannabis flower category driving increased excise tax payments as a percentage of revenue. Furthermore, the weakened Canadian dollar and Israeli Shekel against the U.S. dollar during the current period adversely impacted results.

32

Cost of sales

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we reported consolidated cost of sales of $15.9 million, representing a decrease of $1.4 million from the three months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we reported consolidated cost of sales of $32.5 million, representing a decrease of $0.8 million from the six months ended June 30, 2022. For both the three and six month comparative periods, the decrease was primarily due to lower cannabis flower sales in the Israeli medical market, lower cannabis biomass costs and the impact of the weakened Canadian dollar and Israeli Shekel against the U.S. dollar during the current periods.

Gross profit

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we reported gross profit of $3.1 million, representing a decrease of $1.2 million from the three months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we reported gross profit of $6.0 million, representing a decrease of $5.0 million from the six months ended June 30, 2022. For both the three and six month comparative periods, the decrease was primarily due to lower cannabis flower sales in the Israeli medical market and adverse price/mix on cannabis flower sales in Canada resulting in higher excise taxes as a percentage of revenue.

Sales and marketing

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, sales and marketing expenses were $5.3 million, representing an increase of $1.1 million from the three months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, sales and marketing expenses were $11.0 million, representing an increase of $3.8 million from the six months ended June 30, 2022. For both the three and six month comparative periods, the increase was primarily due to higher advertising and marketing spend and higher payroll-related costs.

Research and development

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, research and development expenses were $1.1 million, representing a decrease of $3.1 million from the three months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, research and development expenses were $3.1 million, representing a decrease of $5.0 million from the six months ended June 30, 2022. For both the three and six month comparative periods, the decrease was primarily due to lower costs associated with the achievement of Ginkgo milestones.

General and administrative

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, general and administrative expenses were $13.5 million, representing a decrease of $2.8 million from the three months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, general and administrative expenses were $25.3 million, representing a decrease of $12.1 million from the six months ended June 30, 2022. 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 bonus and insurance costs.

Restructuring costs

For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, there were no restructuring costs incurred, compared to $1.0 million and $3.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. For further information, see Note 7 “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, 2023, share-based compensation expense was $2.3 million, representing a decrease of $0.3 million from the three months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, share-based compensation expense was $4.9 million, representing a decrease of $1.3 million from the six months ended June 30, 2022. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the decrease was primarily due to lower option expense, partially offset by higher expense on restricted share units. For the six

33

months ended June 30, 2023, the decrease was primarily due to the acceleration of expense in the six months ended June 30, 2022, on equity awards granted to certain executive employees in connection with their separation from the Company.

Depreciation and amortization

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, depreciation and amortization expenses were $1.5 million, representing an increase of $0.1 million from the three months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, depreciation and amortization expenses were $3.1 million, representing an increase of $0.4 million from the six months ended June 30, 2022. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the increase was primarily due to higher amortization on Ginkgo-related intangible assets.

Impairment loss on long-lived assets

For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and for three months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded no impairment loss on long-lived assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded no impairment loss on long-lived assets, compared to $3.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Interest income, net

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, interest income, net was $12.5 million, representing an increase of $8.7 million from the three months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, interest income, net was $23.6 million, representing an increase of $17.8 million from the six months ended June 30, 2022. For both the three and six month comparative periods, the increase in net interest income was primarily due to higher short-term investment balances and higher interest rates during the comparative periods.

Gain (loss) on revaluation of derivative liabilities

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the gain on revaluation of derivative liabilities was $43 thousand, representing a decrease of $3.4 million from the three months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the loss on revaluation of derivative liabilities was $22 thousand, representing a decrease of $13.9 million from the six months ended June 30, 2022. We expect continued changes in derivative valuations as our share price fluctuates period to period and the remaining expected terms of our derivative instruments change over time. For further information, see Note 6 “Derivative Liabilities” to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Share of income (loss) from equity method investments

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, our share of income from equity method investments was $0.3 million, representing a decrease of $4.9 million from the three months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, our share of loss from equity method investments was $0.2 million, representing a decrease of $5.4 million from the six months ended June 30, 2022. For both the three and six month comparative periods, the change was primarily due to lower income pick-ups from our equity method investment in Cronos GrowCo.

Gain (loss) on revaluation of financial instruments

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the gain on revaluation of financial instruments was $5.2 million, representing an increased gain of $7.3 million from the three months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the loss on revaluation of financial instruments was $2.6 million, representing an increased loss of $4.7 million from the six months ended June 30, 2022. For both the three and six month comparative periods, 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

There were no impairment losses on other investments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, impairment loss on other investments was $11.2 million, due to impairment charges recorded on our PharmaCann Option for the difference between its estimated fair value and its carrying amount. There were no impairment losses on other investments during the three months ended June 30, 2022. For more information, see Note 4 “Investments” in our condensed consolidated interim financial statements under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Foreign currency transaction loss

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, foreign currency translation loss was $3.2 million, representing an increased loss of $0.3 million from the three months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, foreign currency translation loss was $4.8 million, representing an increased loss of $0.1 million from the six months ended June 30, 2022. For both the three and six month comparative periods, the change was primarily due to 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.

(i)As of June 30, 2023, all inventory associated with our U.S. operations was $nil as a result of the $0.8 million inventory write-down of obsolete product in the second quarter of 2023.

(ii)During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, as a result of the exit of the U.S. operations, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $205 related to the right-of-use lease assets associated with the Company’s former U.S. manufacturing facility in Los Angeles, California.

(iii)For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, Other, net related to loss on disposal of assets that were part of the U.S. operations.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, loss from discontinued operations was $2.8 million, consistent with the three months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, loss from discontinued operations was $4.1 million, representing a decreased loss of $3.0 million from the six months ended June 30, 2022. In each of the comparative periods, lower gross profit due to increased inventory write-downs was offset by lower operating expenses driven by lower sales and marketing expenses. 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 derivative liabilities; (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; 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.

Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to net income (loss) as follows:

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, 2023, as well as cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment balances as of June 30, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022, 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 and six month comparative periods in 2022 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 2022. 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.

Net revenue	$	38,516	$	44,307	$	(5,791)	(13)	%	$	41,223	$	(3,084)	(7)	%

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, net revenue on a constant currency basis was $20.2 million, representing a 6% decrease from the three months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, net revenue on a constant currency basis was $41.2 million, representing a 7% decrease from the six months ended June 30, 2022. On a constant currency basis, net revenue decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to lower cannabis flower sales in Israel due to competitive activity, the slowdown in patient permit authorizations and geopolitical unrest, and an adverse price/mix in Canada in the cannabis flower category driving increased excise tax payments as a percentage of revenue.

Gross profit

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, gross profit on a constant currency basis was $3.3 million, representing a 23% decrease from the three months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, gross profit on a constant currency basis was $6.5 million, representing a 41% decrease from the six months ended June 30, 2022. On a constant currency basis, gross profit decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to lower cannabis flower sales in the Israeli medical market and adverse price/mix on cannabis flower sales in Canada resulting in higher excise taxes as a percentage of revenue.

41

Operating expenses

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, operating expenses on a constant currency basis were $25.2 million, representing a 15% decrease from the three months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, operating expenses on a constant currency basis were $50.6 million, representing a 26% decrease from the six months ended June 30, 2022. On a constant currency basis, operating expenses decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to lower professional fees, largely related to financial statement review costs, lower bonus expense, lower insurance costs, lower costs associated with the achievement of Ginkgo milestones and impairment loss on long-lived assets recognized in the prior year.

Net loss

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, net loss on a constant currency basis was $6.7 million, representing a 62% reduction in net loss from the three months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, net loss on a constant currency basis was $25.7 million, representing a 44% reduction in net loss from the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, Adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis was $(17.0) million, representing a 2% decrease from the three months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, Adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis was $(33.9) million, representing a 6% decrease from the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 on a constant currency basis was primarily driven by lower cannabis flower sales in the Israeli medical market and adverse price/mix on cannabis flower sales in Canada resulting in higher excise taxes as a percentage of revenue, partially offset by decreases in general and administrative expenses due primarily to lower bonus expense, insurance costs and professional fees as well as lower costs associated with the achievement of Ginkgo milestones.

Cash and cash equivalents & short-term investments

Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments on a constant currency basis decreased 6% to $829.4 million as of June 30, 2023 from $877.7 million as of December 31, 2022. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments is primarily due to cash flows used in operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2023, we had $409.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $431.5 million in 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, 2023
	2023		2022
Cash flows used in operating activities	$	(59,467)	$	(51,191)

Net change in cash	$	(355,216)	$	(97,430)

Comparison of cash flows between the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the six months ended June 30, 2022

Operating activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we used $59.5 million of cash in operating activities as compared to cash used of $51.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, representing an increase in cash used of $8.3 million. This change is primarily driven by a $32.8 million decrease in income taxes payable 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 and a $6.8 million increase in interest receivable, partially offset by a $28.6 million increase in net income after adjusting for non-cash items during the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Investing activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we used $299.0 million of cash in investing activities, compared to $40.3 million of cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022, representing an increase of $258.6 million in cash used by investing activities. This change is primarily driven by purchases of short-term investments in the six months ended June 30, 2023.

42

Financing activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash used in financing activities was $0.8 million, compared to $2.0 million of cash used in financing activities during six months ended June 30, 2022, representing a decrease of $1.3 million in cash used in financing activities. This change is primarily driven by a decrease of $1.3 million in withholding taxes paid on share-based awards during six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to six months ended June 30, 2022.

Cash Requirements

The Company’s cash requirements have not changed significantly since the filing of the Annual Report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report. Our critical accounting policies and estimates have not changed significantly since the filing of the Annual Report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company is exposed to certain market risks, including changes from foreign currency exchange rates related to our international operations. 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 $76.9 million and $77.4 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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, 2023, the Company had foreign currency gain on translation of $16.6 million and $19.0 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 the Company had foreign currency loss on translation of $24.2 million and $8.2 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, 2023. Based on that evaluation, management has concluded that, as of June 30, 2023, due to the existence of a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting described below, the disclosure controls and procedures were not 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.

Material Weakness in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Annual Report”), we have identified the following material weakness:

•ITGCs - User Access:

We did not design and maintain effective controls over Information Technology General Controls (“ITGC”), pertaining to user access management and the provisioning and monitoring of user access, including privileged access. We believe this weakness to be the result of ineffective monitoring of security administrator activities, insufficient retention of documentation to support access requests and lack of training on the importance of ITGC. This material weakness did not impact any information derived from information systems and did not result in any identified misstatements to our financial statements.

Remediation Plan and Status

As discussed above, we have identified a material weakness related to ITGCs in user access management and the provisioning and monitoring of privileged access. As of the filing date, the Company is in the process of implementing various initiatives intended to address the identified material weakness. In this regard, some of our key remedial initiatives include:

Material Weakness	Control, Control Enhancement or Mitigant	Implementation Status	Management Testing Status	Remediation Status
ITGCs	•Train security administrators on access provisioning and approval protocols.	Completed	Tested	Not Remediated
	•Align approval requirements for all privileged access for consistency and appropriate visibility within the IT function.	Completed	Tested	Not Remediated
	•Implement a process to identify instances where privileged access roles or profiles are assigned and, when identified, review activities performed during the period of assigned privileged access.	Completed	In Progress	Not Remediated
	•Implement a periodic control to compare each user’s system access to their responsibilities.	Completed	In Progress	Not Remediated
	•Implement an oversight control over security administrator actions.	In Progress	Not Tested	Not Remediated

(b)Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than the material weakness identified above and measures described above to remediate such material weakness, 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 quarter ended June 30, 2023, 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 11(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.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

None.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information.

Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans

Securities Trading Plans of Directors and Executive Officers

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, no directors or executive officers entered into, modified or terminated, contracts, instructions or written plans for the sale or purchase of the Company’s securities that were intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1.

Certain of our officers or directors have made, and may from time to time make, elections to have shares withheld to cover withholding taxes or pay the exercise price of options, which may be designed to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act or may constitute non-Rule 10b5–1 trading arrangements (as defined in Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K).

Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On August 4, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved plans to wind-down operations at its Winnipeg, Manitoba facility (“Cronos Fermentation”), and list the Cronos Fermentation facility for sale. The Company expects to incur approximately $1.2 million in restructuring costs associated with the exit of Cronos Fermentation facility. These charges include employee-related costs such as severance, relocation and other termination benefits, as well as contract termination and other related costs, which are expected to be incurred primarily in the second half of 2023, but do not include any impairment charges to property, plant or equipment. These anticipated charges are subject to a number of assumptions, including the ability to wind down Cronos Fermentation efficiently and effectively, the length of the sales process, the bids received in the sale process, market factors and others. As a result of these assumptions, actual results may differ materially. The Company cannot, at this time, quantify the impairment charges, if any, to long-lived assets associated with the wind-down of Cronos Fermentation.

Also on August 4, 2023, the Board approved additional organization-wide cost reductions. Expected restructuring costs of approximately $2.0 million, with the majority expected to be incurred in the second half of 2023, include mostly one-time employee-related severance charges. These anticipated costs are subject to a number of assumptions, including the ability of the Company to

45

effectively and efficiently further streamline operations, the number of employee reductions, the timing of employee reductions, the level of the Company’s operations, market factors and others. As a result of these assumptions, actual results may differ materially.

Item 2.06 Material Impairments.

The information disclosed above under Item 2.05 is hereby incorporated by reference. The Company cannot, at this time, quantify the impairment charges, if any, to long-lived assets associated with the wind-down of Cronos Fermentation.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

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

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 111 Peter St., Suite 300, Toronto, Ontario, M5V 2H1. The Company’s common shares are currently 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 Group 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 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 accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 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, 2022 (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 has 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.

(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. Historically, the Company has 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,
	2023		2022
Cannabis flower	$	14,014	$	15,739
Cannabis extracts	4,926		5,582
Other	81		281
Net revenue	$	19,021	$	21,602

	Six months ended June 30,
	2023		2022
Cannabis flower	$	27,142	$	34,364
Cannabis extracts	11,227		9,570
Other	147		373
Net revenue	$	38,516	$	44,307

Net revenue attributed to a geographic region based on the location of the customer were as follows for continuing operations:

	Three months ended June 30,
	2023		2022
Canada	$	13,595	$	14,389
Israel	5,426		7,213
Net revenue	$	19,021	$	21,602

	Six months ended June 30,
	2023		2022
Canada	$	28,029	$	27,965
Israel	10,487		16,342
Net revenue	$	38,516	$	44,307

(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 $943,884 and $987,836 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $69 and $219, respectively, in expected credit losses that have been recognized on receivables from contracts with customers.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company assessed that there is a concentration of credit risk, as 41% of the Company’s accounts receivable were due from two customers with an established credit history with the Company. As of December 31, 2022, 55% of the Company’s accounts receivable were due from three customers with an established credit history with the Company.

The Company sells products to a limited number of major customers. Major customers are defined as customers that each individually accounted for greater than 10% of the Company’s revenue. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company earned a total net revenue before excise taxes of $16,839 from three major customers, together accounting for 67% of the Company’s total net revenues before excise taxes. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company earned a total net revenue before excise taxes of $12,767 from three major customers, together accounting for 59% of the Company’s total net revenues before excise taxes. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company earned a total net revenue before excise taxes of $34,732 from three major customers, together accounting for 67% of the Company’s total net revenues before excise taxes. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company earned a total net revenue before excise taxes of $24,690 from three major customers, together accounting for 56% of the Company’s total net revenues before excise taxes.

(g)Adoption of new accounting pronouncements

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU No. 2022-02”). ASU No. 2022-02 eliminates the existing troubled debt restructuring recognition and measurement guidance, and instead aligns the accounting treatment to that of other loan modifications. The amendments enhance existing disclosure requirements and introduce new requirements related to certain modifications of receivables made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. ASU No. 2022-02 also requires that entities disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. The adoption of ASU No. 2022-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

(h)New accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU No. 2022-03”). ASU No. 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. ASU 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and we expect to adopt ASU 2022-03 prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2022-03 to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Discontinued Operations

In the second quarter of 2023, the Company exited its then-existing U.S. hemp-derived cannabinoid product operations.

(b)Other investments

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

PharmaCann, Inc.

In 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, which represented an ownership interest of approximately 10.5% as of the purchase date of the PharmaCann Option, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $110,392. The PharmaCann Option is classified as an equity security without a readily determinable fair value. The Company has elected to measure the fair value of the PharmaCann Option at cost less impairment, 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, 2023, the Company’s proforma ownership percentage in PharmaCann on a fully-diluted basis was approximately 6.3%. The decrease in the Company’s ownership percentage since acquisition does not materially affect the Company’s rights under the PharmaCann Option.

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 income (loss). The PharmaCann Option is measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and is a level 3 asset. See Note 11 “Fair Value Measurements” for more information on the fair value hierarchy.

The following table summarizes the Company’s other investments activity:

	As of April 1, 2023		Unrealized gain		Impairment charges		Foreign exchange effect		As of June 30, 2023
PharmaCann	$	49,000	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	49,000

PharmaCann	$	110,392	$	—	$	(11,238)	$	—	$	99,154
Vitura	8,000		1,996		—		(481)		9,515
	$	118,392	$	1,996	$	(11,238)	$	(481)	$	108,669

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, 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 a combination of the market and income approaches. Under the income approach, significant inputs used in the discounted cash flow method were the discount rate, growth rates, cash flow projections, and the timing of federal legalization of cannabis in the U.S. Under the market valuation approach, the key assumptions that require judgment under the Guideline Public Companies method are cash flow projections, selected multiples and the discount for lack of marketability. As a result of this analysis, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $11,238 during the six months ended June 30, 2022, 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 income (loss).

Derivative Liabilities

Pursuant to the investor rights agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”) between the Company and Altria Group Inc. (“Altria”), the Company granted Altria certain rights, among others, summarized in this note.

The summaries below are qualified entirely by the terms and conditions fully set out in the Investor Rights Agreement.

a.The Company granted to Altria, subject to certain qualifications and limitations, upon the occurrence of certain issuances of common shares of the Company executed by the Company (including issuances pursuant to the research and development (“R&D”) partnership with Ginkgo Bioworks Holdings, Inc. (“Ginkgo”), the right to purchase up to such number of common shares of the Company in order to maintain their ownership percentage of issued and outstanding common shares of the Company immediately preceding any issuance of shares by the Company (“Pre-emptive Rights”), at the same price per common share of the Company at which the common shares are sold in the relevant issuance; provided that if the consideration paid in connection with any such issuance is non-cash, the price per common share of the Company that would have been received had such common shares been issued for cash consideration will be determined by an independent committee (acting reasonably and in good faith); provided further that the price per common share of the Company to be paid by Altria pursuant to its exercise of its Pre-emptive Rights related to the Ginkgo Collaboration Agreement will be C$16.25 per common share. These rights may not be exercised if Altria’s ownership percentage of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company falls below 20%.

b.In addition to (and without duplication of) the Pre-emptive Rights, the Company granted to Altria, subject to certain qualifications and limitations, the right to subscribe for common shares of the Company issuable in connection with the exercise, conversion or exchange of convertible securities of the Company issued prior to March 8, 2019 or thereafter (excluding any convertible securities of the Company owned by Altria or any of its subsidiaries), a share incentive plan of the Company, the exercise of any right granted by the Company pro rata to all shareholders of the Company to purchase additional common shares and/or securities of the Company, bona fide bank debt, equipment financing or non-equity interim financing transactions that contemplate an equity component or bona fide acquisitions (including acquisitions of assets or rights under a license or otherwise), mergers or similar business combination transactions or joint ventures involving the Company in order to maintain their ownership percentage of issued and outstanding common shares of the Company immediately preceding any such transactions (“Top-up Rights”).

The price per common share to be paid by Altria pursuant to the exercise of its Top-up Rights will be, subject to certain limited exceptions, the 10-day volume-weighted average price of the common shares of the Company on the TSX for the 10 full days preceding such exercise by Altria; provided that the price per common share of the Company to be paid by Altria pursuant to the exercise of its Top-up Rights in connection with the issuance of common shares of the Company pursuant to the exercise of options or warrants that were outstanding as of March 8, 2019 will be C$16.25 per common share without any set off, counterclaim, deduction, or withholding. These rights may not be exercised if Altria’s ownership percentage of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company falls below 20%. The Pre-emptive Rights, and fixed price Top-up Rights have been classified as derivative liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

As of June 30, 2023, Altria beneficially held 156,573,537 of the Company’s common shares, an approximate 41% ownership interest in the Company (calculated on a non-diluted basis).

Fluctuations in the expected life of the derivative instruments and the Company’s share price are primary drivers for the changes in the derivative valuations during each reporting period. As the period of time that the derivative liability is expected to be outstanding decreases and the share price decreases, the fair value typically decreases for each related derivative instrument. Weighted-average expected life and share price are two of the significant observable inputs used in the fair value measurement of each of the Company’s derivative instruments.

The fair values of the derivative liabilities were determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model using the following inputs:

	As of June 30, 2023
	Pre-emptive Rights	Top-up Rights
Share price at valuation date (per share in C$)	$2.61	$2.61
Subscription price (per share in C$)	$16.25	$16.25
Weighted-average risk-free interest rate(i)	4.72%	4.86%
Weighted-average expected life (in years)(ii)	1.50	1.10
Expected annualized volatility(iii)	59%	59%
Expected dividend yield	—%	—%

	As of December 31, 2022
	Pre-emptive Rights	Top-up Rights
Share price at valuation date (per share in C$)	$3.44	$3.44
Subscription price (per share in C$)	$16.25	$16.25
Weighted-average risk-free interest rate(i)	4.14%	4.28%
Weighted-average expected life (in years)(ii)	0.25	0.59
Expected annualized volatility(iii)	73%	73%
Expected dividend yield	—%	—%

(i)The risk-free interest rate was based on Bank of Canada government treasury bills and bonds with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the derivative liabilities. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the risk-free interest rate uses a range of approximately 4.46% to 4.89% and 3.81% to 4.37%, respectively, for the Pre-emptive Rights and Top-up Rights.

(ii)The expected life represents the period of time, in years, that the derivative liabilities are expected to be outstanding. The expected life of the Pre-emptive Rights and Top-up Rights is determined based on the expected term of the underlying options, warrants, and shares, to which the Pre-emptive Rights and Top-up Rights are linked. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the expected life uses a range of approximately 1.00 years to 2.25 years and 0.25 years to 2.75 years, respectively, for the Pre-emptive Rights and Top-up Rights.

(iii)Volatility was based on an equally weighted blended historical and implied volatility level of the underlying equity securities of the Company.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

Restructuring

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 are 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. The Realignment initiatives were intended to position the Company to drive profitable and sustainable growth over time.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized $978 and $3,009, respectively, of restructuring costs in connection with the Realignment, including the change in the nature of operations at the Peace Naturals Campus. Charges related thereto include employee-related costs such as severance, relocation and other termination benefits, as well as contract termination and other related costs. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred no restructuring costs in its continuing operations. Restructuring costs incurred in the Company’s discontinued operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 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, 2022:

The typical vesting for stock option grants made under the Prior Option Plans is quarterly vesting over three to five years with a maximum term of seven years. The Prior Option Plans did not, and the 2020 Omnibus Plan does not, authorize grants of options with an exercise price below fair market value.

The following is a summary of the changes in stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

	Weighted-average exercise price (C$) (i)		Number of options	Weighted-average remaining contractual term (years)

Loss Contingency [Abstract]

Commitments and Contingencies

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 now former Chief Financial Officer. The court has 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 control were incorrect based on the Company’s disclosures relating to the Audit Committee of the Board’s 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. Defendants moved to dismiss on February 8, 2021.

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 names (i) the Company, (ii) its Chief Executive Officer, (iii) now 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 alleges breaches of the Ontario Securities Act, oppression under the Ontario Business Corporations Act and common law misrepresentation. The Amended Statement of Claim generally alleges that certain of the Company’s prior public statements about revenues and internal control were misrepresentations based on the Company’s March 2, 2020 disclosure that the Audit Committee of the Board 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 does 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.

(ii)Regulatory reviews relating to restatements

The Company has been responding to requests for information from various regulatory authorities relating to its previously disclosed restatement of its financial statements for the first three quarters of 2019 as well as the previously disclosed restatement of the second quarter of 2021 interim financial statements (collectively, the “Restatements”). The Company has been responding to all such requests for information and cooperating with all regulatory authorities.

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 (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 has agreed to settle with the SEC, without admitting or denying the allegations described in the Settlement Order. The Settlement Order fully and finally disposes 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. Additionally, the Company agreed to certain undertakings, which include, among other things, retaining a qualified independent consultant (the “Consultant”) to engage in a review of, and make recommendations with respect to, certain of the Company’s internal accounting controls and internal control over financing reporting. The Consultant’s review has been completed.

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 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 Securities Act (Ontario) to file interim financial reports in the manner set out therein and had acted in a manner contrary to the public interest. Additionally, the Company agreed to retain the Consultant to engage in a review of, and make recommendations with respect to, certain of the Company’s internal accounting controls and internal control over financing reporting, on substantially the same terms as were required by the SEC pursuant the Settlement Agreement. The Consultant’s review has been completed.

(iii)Litigation relating to marketing, distribution 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.

Fair Value Measurements

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.

•Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

	June 30, 2023
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Cash and cash equivalents	$	409,428	$	—	$	—	$	409,428

(a)Right-of-use assets and property, plant, and equipment, net

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $1,986 related to the right-of-use lease asset associated with the Company’s corporate headquarters, encompassing approximately 29,000 square feet, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, for which the Company determined it would seek a sublease. In addition, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $1,507 during the six months ended June 30, 2022 related to leasehold improvements and other office equipment that it plans to include in any potential sublease agreement. The determination to seek a sublease of the property and include leasehold improvements and other office equipment in any potential sublease agreement triggered the impairment charges. Both of the impairment charges are recognized as impairment loss on long-lived assets on the condensed consolidated statements of net loss and comprehensive income (loss).

Subsequent Events [Abstract]

Subsequent Events

Subsequent Events

(a)    Planned Exit of the Fermentation Facility

On August 4, 2023, the Board approved plans to wind-down operations at its Winnipeg, Manitoba facility (“Cronos Fermentation”) and list the Cronos Fermentation facility for sale. The Company expects to incur approximately $1,200 in restructuring costs associated with the exit of Cronos Fermentation facility. These charges include employee-related costs such as severance, relocation and other termination benefits, as well as contract termination and other related costs, which are expected to be incurred primarily in the second half of 2023, but do not include any impairment charges to property, plant or equipment. These anticipated charges are subject to a number of assumptions, including the ability to wind down Cronos Fermentation efficiently and effectively, the length of the sales process, the bids received in the sale process, market factors and others. As a result of these assumptions, actual results may differ materially. The Company cannot, at this time, quantify the impairment charges, if any, to long-lived assets associated with the wind-down.

(b)    Cost Reductions

Also on August 4, 2023, the Board approved additional organization-wide cost reductions. Expected restructuring costs of approximately $2,000, with the majority expected to be incurred in the second half of 2023, include mostly one-time employee-related severance charges. These anticipated costs are subject to a number of assumptions, including the ability of the Company to effectively and efficiently further streamline operations, the number of employee reductions, the timing of employee reductions, the level of the Company’s operations, market factors and others. As a result of these assumptions, actual results may differ materially.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of presentation

Basis of presentation

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Cronos Group 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 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 accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 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, 2022 (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.

Discontinued Operations

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 has 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.

Segment information

Segment informationSegment 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. Historically, the Company has 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.

Concentration of risk

Concentration of riskCredit 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 $943,884 and $987,836 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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.

Adoption of new accounting pronouncements and New accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

Adoption of new accounting pronouncements

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU No. 2022-02”). ASU No. 2022-02 eliminates the existing troubled debt restructuring recognition and measurement guidance, and instead aligns the accounting treatment to that of other loan modifications. The amendments enhance existing disclosure requirements and introduce new requirements related to certain modifications of receivables made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. ASU No. 2022-02 also requires that entities disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. The adoption of ASU No. 2022-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

(h)New accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU No. 2022-03”). ASU No. 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. ASU 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and we expect to adopt ASU 2022-03 prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2022-03 to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
