"We are quickly approaching our positive Adjusted EBITDA goal and are on track to achieve up to $170 million in annualized cost savings by December 31, 2022 , having already realized $140 million through Q1 2023. Our strengthened balance sheet and strong cash position has facilitated early repurchases of convertible debt of approximately US$160 million in 2022. Through profitable growth opportunities, particularly in our high-margin global medical cannabis business where we remain the #1 Canadian LP in revenues, disciplined capital deployment, and the completion of our cost structure rationalization, we are well-positioned to enhance the long-term value of our differentiated global cannabis company," stated Miguel Martin , Chief Executive Officer of Aurora.

"International medical cannabis net revenues were slightly uneven in Q1 2023, characteristic of rapidly developing markets. However, the long-term growth trajectory remains solid for our unique, portable, and profitable international medical program. We continue to identify areas of profitability and growth within the Canadian adult recreational segment, even in the face of a challenging environment, and are proud to have introduced a significant number of new products this fall that will benefit both our adult recreational customers and medical patients," he concluded.

First Quarter 2023 Highlights
(Unless otherwise stated, comparisons are made between fiscal Q1 2023, Q4 2022, and Q1 2022 results and are in Canadian dollars)

Medical Cannabis:

  • Medical cannabis net revenue 1 was $31.6 million , a 14% decrease from the prior quarter and a 23% decrease from the prior year period, delivering 64% of Aurora's Q1 2023 consolidated net revenue 1 and 86% of Adjusted gross profit before fair value (FV) adjustments 1 .


  • The decrease in net revenue 1 from Q4 was primarily attributable to timing of shipments into certain international markets during the prior quarter, with sales expected to normalize in Q2 2023. The decrease from the prior year quarter was driven by $7.9 million of sales to Israel and a strategic choice to shift our Canadian medical business towards the higher margin insured patient base.


  • Adjusted gross margin before FV adjustments on medical cannabis net revenue 1 was 67% compared to 62% sequentially and 64% in the prior year period. The continued strength of the Company's medical adjusted gross margins 1 reflect the direct-to-patient model in Canada and sustained presence in the high margin international medical business. In addition, the Company reduced production costs by 4% while increasing production volumes by 11%, as compared to the prior quarter, which are direct impacts being realized from the asset consolidations completed over the past year.

Consumer Cannabis:

  • Consumer cannabis net revenue 1 was $13.7 million , a 9% increase from the prior quarter and a 28% decrease from the prior year period.


  • The increase in net revenue 1 from Q4 was primarily due to a full quarter of Thrive consumer cannabis net revenues 1 , partially offset by supply and ordering disruptions from a cyberattack at the Ontario Cannabis Store and store closures due to an employee strike at BC Cannabis Stores. The decrease from the prior year quarter was attributable to a reduction in the volumes sold of discount, low-margin brands, and replaced with premium higher-margin brands as Aurora management considers gross profit to be as important as revenue, and only participates in Canadian consumer market segments that allow for reasonably positive gross or contribution margins.


  • Adjusted gross margin before FV adjustments on consumer cannabis net revenue 1 was 25% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 , compared to 26% in the prior quarter and 32% in the comparable prior year period. The decrease of 1% from Q4 2022 and 7% from Q1 2022 were due primarily to higher packaging volumes in Q1 2022, which reduced average cost of goods sold in that period.

Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A"):

  • SG&A, including Research and Development ("R&D"), was $43.8 million in Q1 2023 which includes $9.3 million of restructuring, non-recurring, and out-of-period costs, and $1.1 million in pre-revenue market development costs. Excluding the non-routine items noted above, SG&A and R&D continued to be well controlled and declining at $33.4 million during Q1 2023 versus $37.8 million in the prior quarter and $42.9 million in the prior year period, presented on a comparable basis. SG&A remains at the lowest level in four years.

_____________________________

1 This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, which are intended to supplement, not substitute for, comparable GAAP financial measures. See "Non-GAAP Measures" below for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures.

Consolidated:

  • Total net revenue1 for fiscal Q1 2023 was $49.3 million , compared to $50.2 million in the previous quarter. Total cannabis net revenue 1 was $46.0 million , as compared to the prior quarter total cannabis net revenue 1 of $50.2 million and $60.1 million in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily driven by timing of shipments into certain international markets during the prior quarter and $7.9 million of sales to Israel in Q1 2022 and a strategic choice to shift our Canadian medical business towards the higher margin insured patient base.


  • The Bevo business contributed $3.3 million of net revenues 1 , which represents just over one month of net revenues 1 . It is expected that the Bevo business will generate predictable revenues, with some seasonality, in the near-term. As Bevo repurposes the Aurora Sky facility, which is expected to greatly increase production capability, extend shipping range, and access new regional greenhouse demand in Canada and the United States , Bevo revenue is expected to increase over the longer term.


  • Excluding the impact of the non-core bulk wholesales, adjusted gross margin before fair value adjustments on cannabis net revenue 1 for Q1 2023 remained strong and steady, and well above the industry average, at 54% compared to 52% in Q4 2022 and 54% in Q1 2022.


  • Adjusted EBITDA 1 loss decreased to $8.7 million in Q1 2023 versus $11.6 million in Q4 2022 and $11.0 million in the prior year period. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA loss, as compared to the prior quarter and the same period in the prior year is primarily attributable to reductions in SG&A and improvement in adjusted gross margin before fair value adjustments.

Net Loss:
Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $51.9 million compared to $618.8 million in the prior quarter and $11.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in net loss of $566.9 million from the prior quarter was primarily due to $536.2 million in non-cash impairment charges recognized in Q4 2022. The increase in net loss of $40.0 million from the same period in the prior year was primarily due to a $35.7 million net unrealized fair value gain on derivative instruments recognized in Q1 2022, compared to a net unrealized loss of $0.9 million recognized in Q1 2023 and an increase in non-cash inventory and biological asset fair value impairment charges of $1.9 million mainly driven from management's change in intended use of certain excess bulk flower.

Fiscal Q2 2023 Expectations:
The Company expects to achieve its goal of reaching Adjusted EBITDA profitability by December 31, 2022 . Having resolved the negative impact of certain cultivar supply and wholesale distribution disruptions affecting our European medical and Canadian consumer business units respectively in fiscal Q1 2023, the Company expects cannabis revenue for fiscal Q2 2023 to be largely similar to fiscal Q4 2022. Fiscal Q2 2023 will represent the first full quarter contribution of revenue and positive Adjusted EBITDA from Bevo, albeit on a seasonally affected basis with the stronger contribution quarters expected from January to June and October to December being historically the weakest contribution quarter. Furthermore, the Company expects Adjusted Gross Margins to be consistent with fiscal Q1 2023 and expects to achieve its previously stated objective of a quarterly SG&A expense run rate below $30 million by December 31, 2022 .

Operational Efficiency Plan, Balance Sheet Strength, & Cash Use:
Aurora has previously identified annualized cash savings of up to $170 million under this transformation program by December 30, 2022 , split evenly between costs of goods sold ("COGS") and SG&A. Projected COGS savings include the repurposing of the Aurora Sky facility in Edmonton . These cash savings are reflected in our P&L either as they occur within SG&A savings, or as inventory is drawn down for production-related savings.

Aurora has one of the strongest balance sheets in the Canadian Cannabis industry with approximately $393 million of cash, including $58 million in restricted cash as of November 9, 2022 , and access to significant capacity under a base shelf prospectus filed on March 30, 2021 (the "2021 Shelf Prospectus"), including US$156.8 million remaining securities for sale under the 2021 at-the-market (ATM) program (the "ATM Program"). Subsequent to September 30, 2022 , the Company issued 23.7 million common shares under the ATM Program for gross proceeds $40.2 million (US $29.4 million ). At management's discretion, Aurora may sell shares under the ATM Program from time to time to be utilized for strategic purposes.

On October 7, 2022 , the Company repurchased a total of $31.5 million (US $23.0 million ) in principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2024 ("Senior Notes") at a total cost, including accrued interest, of $30.0 million (US $21.8 million ). The purpose of the transaction, which represents a repurchase of a portion of the Notes at a 5.45% discount to par value, was to reduce the Company's debt and annual cash interest costs. Annual cash interest savings from the repurchases of Notes made from Q3 2022 to date now total approximately $11.9 million ( US$8.7 million ).

The Company continues to materially improve cash use, as outlined in the following table:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we supplement our results with non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin %, adjusted net (loss) income, adjusted net (loss) income per diluted share, and free cash flow. The Company calculates EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization; adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest expense, interest income, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization and also excludes certain extraordinary items; adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA as % of revenue, adjusted net (loss) income as net income (loss) less certain extraordinary items; adjusted EPS as adjusted net (loss) income divided by basic and diluted shares outstanding; and free cash flow as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures to evaluate our operating results and financial performance. We believe these measures are useful to investors as they are widely used measures of performance and can facilitate comparison to other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are not, and should not be considered as, measures of liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Because of these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with GAAP financial performance measures. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to such GAAP measures can be found below. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, our reported financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
