Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2022 Revenue Review

Revenue by Channel

Revenue by Form

Canadian Cannabis

• Recreational B2B net sales in Q4 FY2022 decreased 40% over the prior year period primarily due to the continued insufficient supply of flower products with in-demand attributes and continued price compression, particularly in the value-priced dried flower category. These factors were partially offset by contribution from the acquisitions of Ace Valley and Supreme Cannabis.
• Recreational B2C net sales in Q4 FY2022 decreased 26% versus Q4 FY2021 largely driven by increased competition from the rapid increase in third party retail locations across provinces.
• Medical net revenue in Q4 FY2022 decreased 4% from Q4 FY2021 driven primarily by higher average order sizes offset by a fewer number of orders.

International Cannabis

• C ³ revenue in Q4 FY2022 decreased 80% year-over-year as a result of the divestiture that was completed on January 31, 2022 .
• Other revenue in Q4 FY2022 increased 2% over the prior year period primarily due to bulk cannabis sales by Supreme Cannabis into the Israel medical cannabis market, offset by lower U.S. CBD sales.

Other Consumer Products

• BioSteel sales in Q4 FY2022 decreased 1% over Q4 FY2021 in part due to shipment timing.
• Storz & Bickel vaporizer revenue in Q4 FY2022 increased 21% over Q4 FY2021 due primarily to sales of new VOLCANO ONYX and MIGHTY+ vaporizers launched late in the second quarter of FY2022.
