First Quarter 2020 Financial Highlights
|
|
• |
Revenue increased 126.2% to $52.1 million (C$70.7 million), compared to the first quarter of last year. Growth was driven by cannabis sales, which experienced meaningful increases across all channels with the exception of bulk, and the inclusion of the Manitoba Harvest acquisition for a full quarter in 2020 compared to a partial quarter in the prior year. |
|
|
• |
Revenue increased 11.0% compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. Growth was driven by a 23.0% increase in adult-use sales and a 14.3% increase in hemp product sales, partially offset by a decline in bulk sales. |

|
• |
Net loss was reduced by $35.0 million, or 16%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. The reduction in net loss from $219.1 million, or $2.14 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2019 was largely due to improvements in gross margin in the first quarter of 2020 and the significant impairments recorded in the fourth quarter of 2019. |
|
|
• |
Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $19.7 million compared to a loss of $15.3 million in the first quarter of 2019. The moderate increase in Adjusted EBITDA loss was largely the result of increased costs in general and administrative expenses related to commercial growth initiatives and increased operating costs related to our cultivation efforts. |
|
|
• |
Adjusted EBITDA loss of $19.7 million was a 44% improvement over the $35.3 loss during fourth quarter of 2019. The improvement was generally due to cost reductions and operating efficiencies. |
|
|
• |
The Company ended the first quarter of 2020 with $174.0 million in cash. |

PRESS RELEASE |
May 11, 2020 |
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s priority remains the health, safety and well-being of its global workforce, patients, customers and communities where it operates. Over the course of several weeks, the Company enacted response protocols and contingency plans to prepare for events in relation to the global pandemic. The Company has implemented remote work arrangements for all office personnel and restricted business travel as of mid-March. The Company’s operational sites remain open, but with enhanced measures to protect the safety of its workforce including rotating shifts of self-quarantined staff, reducing the sites to business-critical personnel only, physical distancing incorporated into manufacturing lines and cultivations sites, sanitation protocols and other enhanced safety measures. These protocols are being evaluated and adapted in accordance with government and health authority recommendations on a daily basis.
Currently, the Company is focused on establishing a safe recovery plan for returning to more normal business conditions and returning staff to corporate offices and operational sites when appropriate.
To date, the Company has not experienced any material COVID-19 impacts related to its ability to serve patients and consumers around the world with medical cannabis products, adult-use cannabis products in Canada, and Manitoba Harvest hemp products.

Actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from that expressed in, or implied by, any forward-looking statements in this press release, and, accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements and they are not guarantees of future results. Forward-looking statements involve significant risks, assumptions, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual future results or anticipated events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. Please see the heading “Risk Factors” in Tilray’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 11, 2020, for a discussion of the material risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking information.

Use of Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement its financial statements, the Company provides investors with information related to Adjusted EBITDA and Gross margin, excluding inventory valuation adjustments, which are financial measures which are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income(loss) before inventory valuation adjustments; interest expenses, net; other expenses (income), net; deferred income tax (recoveries) expenses, current income tax expenses (benefit); foreign exchange gain (loss), net; depreciation and amortization expenses; stock-based compensation expenses; other stock-based compensation related expenses; loss from equity method investments; finance income from ABG; loss on disposal of property and equipment; acquisition-related (income) expense; amortization of inventory step-up;

severance costs; impairment of assets; and change in fair value of warrant liability. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, has been provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release. Gross margin, excluding inventory valuation adjustments, is calculated as revenue less cost of sales adjusted to add back inventory valuation adjustments and amortization of inventory step-up, divided by revenue. A reconciliation of Gross margin, excluding inventory valuation adjustments, to gross margin, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, has been provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release.
The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to compare the Company's performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses and planning purposes. These non-GAAP financial measures are also presented to the Company’s Board of Directors.
Non-U.S. GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Non-U.S. GAAP measures exclude significant expenses that are required by U.S. GAAP to be recorded in the Company's financial statements and are subject to inherent limitations.
