NEW YORK and LEAMINGTON, Ontario, April 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  Tilray Brands, Inc. (“Tilray”, “our”, “we” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: TLRY; TSX: TLRY), a global lifestyle and consumer packaged goods company at the forefront of beverage, cannabis and wellness industries, today reported financial results for its third quarter ended February 28, 2025. All financial information in this press release is reported in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

In response to the recently announced tariffs on international trade, Tilray conducted an analysis of the potential implications on its business. The analysis concluded that these tariffs should not impact sales. In the United States, Tilray's American beverage brands are solely manufactured and distributed within the U.S. market. In Canada, Tilray’s cannabis brands are produced domestically for Canadian consumers. In Europe, Tilray manufactures medical cannabis brands and products for distribution across Europe and Australia. Regarding Tilray’s wellness business, Manitoba Harvest is currently exempt from the new tariffs.

Irwin D. Simon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Tilray Brands, stated, "Tilray Brands is shaping the future of consumer markets with a robust global infrastructure spanning the beverage, cannabis, and wellness industries. We are meeting the needs of today’s consumers while preparing for the demands of tomorrow. In the third quarter, we prioritized sales quality and revenue, protected margins, reduced debt, and improved our capital structure. With a strong balance sheet and a clear vision for the future, Tilray is well positioned to capitalize on emerging opportunities and ensure long-term success.”

Mr. Simon continued, "We see opportunities in the alcohol, cannabis, and wellness industries and believe these sectors are here to stay. Tilray is relentlessly focused on building strong brands and developing innovative products to seize growth opportunities across all our businesses. At Tilray, we are laser-focused on building a sustainable global business platform by emphasizing profitable sales growth, improving profit margins and cash flow generation, and maintaining a solid balance sheet to navigate market challenges and capitalize on strategic opportunities. In Q3, we delivered our highest cannabis gross margins in almost two years, and as of today our net debt is now less than 1x EBITDA on a trailing twelve-month basis. We will not seek sales growth merely for the sake of sales if it does not add to the bottom line and benefit our shareholders."

Strategic Growth Initiatives – Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2025

Tilray Beverage Project 420: Tilray Beverage completed $20.6 million of an expanded Project 420 cost-savings plan of $33 million. Project 420 aims to reduce costs to improve efficiency and profitability by rationalizing SKUs, geographies and distribution and is expected to be completed in the third quarter of fiscal 2026.

Hemp-Derived THC Drinks in the U.S: Tilray Brands is strategically positioned to utilize the expertise of its hemp wellness and cannabis businesses to responsibly formulate beverages infused with 5mg and 10mg of hemp-derived THC. During the fiscal year to date, Tilray generated $1.4 million in revenue from hemp-derived THC beverage sales and expanded the distribution of these drinks across over 1,000 points of distribution in 10 states including Florida, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Louisiana, and New Jersey, as well as through online direct-to-consumer channels. In addition to our existing mocktail and seltzer brands Happy Flower, Fizzy Jane, and Herb & Bloom, we are pleased to introduce 420 Fizz, a low-calorie, soda beverage infused with hemp-derived THC. Tilray also leverages its established national beverage distribution network, which spans independent retailers, convenience stores, and package stores, including multi-state retailers such as Total Wine and ABC who have expressed strong interest in this category and new growth opportunity.

Tilray Cannabis Profitability Initiatives: Tilray's Cannabis segment is focused on profitability and margin protection. In the third fiscal quarter, Tilray Canada redirected inventories to international cannabis markets to capitalize on higher margins expected in these markets in the upcoming fourth fiscal quarter. Tilray’s global cannabis supply chain is in Phase II of its accelerated growth plan, and the cultivation footprint is expanding to meet increasing demand in both Canadian and international markets. The Cannabis segment is concentrating on preserving gross margins and maintaining higher average selling prices in categories such as vapes and infused pre-rolls, which have experienced significant price compression and are margin dilutive. Growth in these categories is expected to resume later in the upcoming fourth fiscal quarter due to capital expenditures improving our operational efficiencies.

Debt Reduction; $248 Million Cash and Marketable Securities: As of April 8, 2025, Tilray reduced our outstanding total debt by $71 million with convertible note reduction of $58 million, strengthening the balance sheet. As a result, net debt to trailing twelve months EBITDA is less than 1.0x. Our $248 million cash balance, including marketable securities, provides Tilray with great flexibility for strategic opportunities.

AI and Cryptocurrency Business Strategy: Tilray Brands is dedicated to leveraging advanced technologies to align with our shareholder interests, the consumer of tomorrow, enhancing efficiency and driving growth. We are implementing AI across our global operations to enhance our expertise, optimize processes, achieve substantial improvements, and advance our business objectives. In the cultivation sector, we are utilizing advanced horticulture automation technology throughout our global greenhouse operations. By integrating this technology with AI-driven data insights, we can manage greenhouse conditions in real-time, leading to more efficient operations, increased output, superior quality, and reduced costs for resources such as labor, water, and energy. Additionally, Tilray plans to accept cryptocurrency as a payment method within the Company’s online operations. The Company is also exploring strategic initiatives related to cryptocurrency that align with our business goals.

Strategic initiatives and SKU rationalization impacted revenue by $13.2 million in the current year quarter.

• Net loss was $(793.5) million in the third quarter, due to ~$700 million of non-cash impairment as a result of macroeconomic conditions and declines in market capitalization, foreign exchange loss, amortization, changes in fair value of convertible notes receivable, and stock-based compensation as well as non-recurring transaction and restructuring charges.
• Adjusted net loss was $(2.9) million in the third quarter compared to an adjusted net income of $0.9 million in the prior year quarter.
• Adjusted EPS remained at $0.00 in both the third quarter and the comparative period.
• Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter was $9.0 million compared to $10.2 million in the prior year quarter due to the beverage segment’s SKU rationalization impact of $1.0 million and $0.6 million related to the prioritization of international cannabis markets.

• Cannabis net revenue was $54.3 million in the third quarter compared to $63.4 million in the prior year quarter. On a constant currency basis, Cannabis net revenue was $57.5 million. The strategic initiative to redirect product from Canada to international markets resulted in a timing impact on revenue of $3.2 million. Additionally, a strategic decision to pause our presence in margin dilutive categories, such as vapes and infused pre-rolls, led to a revenue decrease of $4.0 million but prevented a potential loss exceeding $3 million.
  • Cannabis gross margin increased to 41% in the third quarter compared to 33% in the prior year quarter resulting from our strategic prioritization of the international business and the reduction in our exposure to margin dilutive categories.

Company’s Fiscal Year 2025 Guidance

The Company revises fiscal year 2025 guidance for net revenue to $850 million to $900 million. Adjustments for constant currency and the impacts of the strategic initiatives and SKU rationalization, which total approximately $50 million, would have resulted in expected net revenue of $900 million to $950 million.

Use of Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and the accompanying tables include non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted gross margin (consolidated and for each of our reporting segments), Adjusted gross profit (consolidated and for each of our reporting segments), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) per share, free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow, constant currency presentations of revenue, cash and marketable securities and net debt. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented provide useful additional information to investors about current trends in the Company's operations and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of operations. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures. In addition, these non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation and items being excluded. They should be read only in connection with the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows presented in accordance with GAAP.

Certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are not reconciled to the comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures. The Company is not able to reconcile these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts because the Company is unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the type and extent of certain items that would be expected to impact GAAP measures but would not impact the non-GAAP measures. Such items may include litigation and related expenses, transaction costs, impairments, foreign exchange movements and other items. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company's GAAP financial results.

The Company believes presenting net sales at constant currency provides useful information to investors because it provides transparency to underlying performance in the Company's consolidated net sales by excluding the effect that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations have on period-to-period comparability given the volatility in foreign currency exchange markets. To present this information for historical periods, current period net sales for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average monthly exchange rates in effect during the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, rather than at the actual average monthly exchange rate in effect during the current period of the current fiscal year. As a result, the foreign currency impact is equal to the current year results in local currencies multiplied by the change in average foreign currency exchange rate between the current fiscal period and the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. A reconciliation of prior year revenue to constant currency revenue the most directly comparable GAAP measure, has been provided in the financial statement tables included above in this press release.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) before income tax benefits, net; interest expense, net; non-operating income (expense), net; amortization; stock-based compensation; change in fair value of contingent consideration; purchase price accounting step-up; impairments, other than temporary change in fair value of convertible notes receivable, project 420 optimization costs facility start-up and closure costs; litigation costs; restructuring costs, and transaction (income) costs, net. 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.

Adjusted net income (loss) is calculated as net loss attributable to stockholders of Tilray Brands, Inc., less; non-operating income (expense), net; amortization; stock-based compensation; change in fair value of contingent consideration; impairments, other than temporary change in fair value of convertible notes receivable, project 420 optimization costs facility start-up and closure costs; litigation costs; restructuring costs and transaction (income) costs, net. A reconciliation of Adjusted net income (loss) to net loss attributable to stockholders of Tilray Brands, Inc., the most directly comparable GAAP measure, has been included below in this press release.

Adjusted net income (loss) per share is calculated as net loss attributable to stockholders of Tilray Brands, Inc., net; non-operating income (expense), net; amortization; stock-based compensation; change in fair value of contingent consideration; impairments, other than temporary change in fair value of convertible notes receivable, project 420 optimization costs facility start-up and closure costs; litigation costs; restructuring costs and transaction (income) costs, divided by weighted average number of common shares outstanding. A reconciliation of Adjusted net income (loss) per share to net loss attributable to stockholders of Tilray Brands, Inc., the most directly comparable GAAP measure, has been included below in this press release. Adjusted net income (loss) per share is not calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative for GAAP net income (loss) per share or as a measure of liquidity.

Adjusted gross profit (consolidated and for each of our reporting segments), is calculated as gross profit adjusted to exclude the impact of purchase price accounting valuation step-up. A reconciliation of Adjusted gross profit, excluding purchase price accounting valuation step-up, to gross profit, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, has been provided in the financial statement tables included above in this press release. Adjusted gross margin (consolidated and for each of our reporting segments), excluding purchase price accounting valuation step-up, is calculated as revenue less cost of sales adjusted to add back amortization of inventory step-up, divided by revenue. A reconciliation of Adjusted gross margin, excluding purchase price accounting valuation step-up, to gross margin, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, has been provided in the financial statement tables included above in this press release.

Free cash flow is comprised of two GAAP measures which are net cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities less investments in capital and intangible assets, net. A reconciliation of net cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities to free cash flow, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, has been provided in the financial statement tables included above in this press release. Adjusted free cash flow is comprised of two GAAP measures which are net cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities less investments in capital and intangible assets, net, and the exclusion of growth CAPEX from investments in capital and intangible assets, net, which excludes the amount of capital expenditures that are considered to be associated with growth of future operations rather than to maintain the existing operations of the Company, and excludes our integration costs related to HEXO and the cash income taxes related to Aphria Diamond to align with management’s prescribed guidance. A reconciliation of net cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities to adjusted free cash flow, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, has been provided in the financial statement tables included above in this press release.

Cash and marketable securities are comprised of two GAAP measures, cash and cash equivalents added to marketable securities. The Company’s management believes that this presentation provides useful information to management, analysts and investors regarding certain additional financial and business trends relating to its short-term liquidity position by combing these two GAAP metrics.

Net debt is comprised of GAAP measures and reduces bank indebtedness, current and non-current portions of long-term debt, the principal balance of convertible debt by cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. The company believes this metric provides useful information to management, analysts, and investors regarding its liquidity and the Company’s ability to repay all of its debt.
