Canopy Growth Corp. (WEED) has announced financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2022.

All financial information in this press release is reported in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Highlights:

Record BioSteel revenues in Q1 FY2023 increased 169 per cent versus Q1 FY2022. Secured retail agreement with Walmart Stores covering 2,200 stores in 39 states. Entered partnership to become the Official Hydration Partner of the NHL and NHLPA.

Cost reduction program on track with operating expenses3 in Q1 FY2023 decreasing by 13 per cent versus Q1 FY2022.

David Klein, Chief Executive Officer, commented,

“Through advancements in our North American brand led strategy we delivered a record quarter from BioSteel and maintained #1 share in the premium flower and pre-rolled joint segment, while driving growth of our premium Doja and mainstream Tweed brands. As our U.S. THC ecosystem continues to strengthen with Acreage operating in the recreational cannabis market in New Jersey, along with the expansion of Wana across North America, we remain focused on delivering a robust pipeline of innovation aligned to what consumers are looking for – premium, infused, and ready to enjoy.”

Chief Financial Officer, Judy Hong, added,

“The cost saving program announced earlier in the quarter combined with sound expense discipline contributed to a meaningful decline in operating expenses during the quarter. We expect cost savings to ramp in the second half of the year, enabling us to execute on our path to profitability even as we continue to invest in strategic growth initiatives including in BioSteel and our U.S. THC ecosystem.”

Canopy Growth Corp. Stock is down 7.05 per cent trading at C$3.43 as of 11:35 am EDT.
