Segment Report

The company has four reportable segments – Cannabis, Distribution, Beverage alcohol, and Wellness. Revenue from the segments is – 38%, 41%, 11% and 9% of the total revenue, respectively.

Cannabis revenues come from primarily four sub-segments – medical cannabis products, adult-use cannabis products, wholesale cannabis products, and international cannabis products. Revenue from Canadian medical cannabis products increased 20% to $30.6 million for the year ended May 31, 2022, compared to revenue of $25.5 million for the year ended May 31, 2021. This increase in revenue from medical cannabis products is primarily driven by the contributions of legacy Tilray’s medical cannabis business resulting from the business combination on April 30, 2021. The increase is also due to new innovative product launches, including the new brand Symbios launched earlier in the year, to address unmet medical needs and to provide patients with more choices in managing their health conditions with medical products. This increase was partially offset by the limitations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic from patients unable or unwilling to see a doctor as well as increased competition from the adult-rec and the price compression therein.

During the year ended, May 31, 2022, gross revenue from Canadian adult-use cannabis product has decreased 6% to $209.5 million compared to revenue of $222.9 million for the prior year. The decline, according to company reports, is due to several reasons including the shocks of Covid-19 pandemic, price competition due to new entrants in the market, and the decline of Canadian dollar compared to the period ended on May 31, 2021.

Revenue from Distribution operations for the year ended May 31, 2022 was $259.7 million as compared to $277.3 million in the prior year, representing a decrease of 6% on a year over year basis. The decrease in distribution revenue for the year ended as compared to prior year was primarily the result of the decrease in the value of the Euro compared to the US dollar totaling a $28.3 million reduction for the year ended May 31, 2022 compared to May 31, 2021 in the company’s CC Pharma business. On a constant currency basis, distribution revenue would have increased by 4% or $10.7 million from the prior year. Revenue for the year ending May 31, 2022, was also impacted by heavy flooding impacted CC Pharma which forced a business closure for approximately five days leading to a decrease in net revenue in the period of almost $5.0 million.

Revenue from Tilray’s Beverage Alcohol operations increased to $71.5 million for the year ended May 31, 2022, compared to revenue of $28.6 million in the year ended May 31, 2021. The increase is largely driven by the fact that the company entered the beverage alcohol space on November 25, 2020, through the acquisition of SweetWater, and thus the prior year comparative only includes 6 months of operations. Further enhancing this increase, the company also acquired Breckenridge distillery on December 7, 2021, which partially contributed to the year over year increase. Sweetwater revenue increased in the year ended May 31, 2022, as Tilray began operating their new brewing facility in Colorado and opened a new taproom at the Denver International Airport in connection with their strategic expansion initiative. In addition, Tilray released an extensive new line of innovative products, including seltzers, as well as a new beer offering developed in collaboration with their Canadian cannabis Broken Coast brand and anew vodka soda offering developed in collaboration with their Canadian cannabis Riff brand as Tilray continues to strengthen its strategic position in the U.S. by expanding its presence through acquisitions and collaboration with other Tilray cannabis brands.

Wellness revenue of Tilray consists of $59.6 million from Manitoba Harvest, for the year ended May 31, 2022, which is compared to $5.8 million for the prior year ended of May 31, 2021. Manitoba Harvest was part of the assets acquired in the Arrangement on April 30, 2021. As a result, the prior period only included one month of operations and thus the large increase in revenue year over year is a result the realization of a full year of operations in the current year.

Adjusted gross profit from Cannabis, Distribution, Beverage alcohol, and Wellness segment of the company is – $102,188, $24,016, $41,673, and $18,154.
