PRESS RELEASE

November 13, 2018

 

Tilray, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2018 Earnings

 

Revenue rises 85.8% to $10.0 (C$12.9) million in the third quarter and 78.9% to $27.6 (C$35.5) million year-to-date

 

Tilray medical cannabis products available to patients in 12 countries on five continents

 

Signed agreements to supply adult-use cannabis to consumers in eight Canadian provinces and territories

 

Completed successful $475.0 (C$610.6) million Convertible Senior Notes offering in October

 

 

NANAIMO, BRITISH COLUMBIA Tilray, Inc., (“Tilray” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: TLRY) a global leader in cannabis production and distribution, today reported financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018. All financial information in this press release is reported in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

 

“The cannabis industry remains very robust and we are pleased with our revenue momentum and strategic achievements in the third quarter,” said Brendan Kennedy, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tilray. “We are in the early stages of achieving our growth potential and our team continues to strategically execute on disciplined operational initiatives and investments to support Tilray’s long-term, sustainable growth as the pace of legalization continues to accelerate around the world. Going forward, the demand for our products is strong and we remain committed to expanding our leadership in the global medical and adult-use cannabis markets.”  

 

Third Quarter 2018 Financial Highlights

 

Revenue increased to $10.0 (C$12.9) million, up 85.8% compared to the third quarter of last year. The increase in revenue was driven by increased patient demand, bulk sales to other Licensed Producers, and accelerated wholesale distribution in export markets.

PRESS RELEASE

November 13, 2018

 

 

Total kilogram equivalents sold increased over two-fold to 1,613 kilograms from 684 kilograms in the prior year.

 

Average net selling price per gram was $6.21 (C$7.98) compared to $7.53 (C$9.34) for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The reduction in 2018 compared to 2017 was primarily due to an increase in bulk sales as a percentage of total revenue.

 

Net loss for the quarter was $18.7 million or $0.20 per share compared to $1.8 million or $0.02 per share for the third quarter of 2017. Net loss includes non-cash stock based compensation charges of $11.2 million compared to a $35 thousand charged in the prior year period.  Excluding non-cash compensation, net loss was $7.5 million or $0.08 per share. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $7.4 million compared to a loss of $1.7 million the third quarter last year. The increased net loss and Adjusted EBITDA declines were primarily due to the increase in operating expenses related to continued growth, expansion of international teams, and costs related to financing and the initial public offering (“IPO”).

 

Business Highlights

 

Global expansion of medical business and participation in clinical trials:

 

 

Acquired Alef Biotechnology SpA for $3.9 (C$5.0) million to allow Tilray to import, produce, and distribute Tilray branded medical cannabis products to Chile and to create a hub to distribute throughout Latin America.

 

Imported 2:100 CBD oil to the United Kingdom.

 

Received regulatory permits in Canada and Germany to export medical cannabis flower to Germany, making Tilray the first and only company to import both flower and oil medical cannabis products to the German market.

 

Received regulatory approval from U.S. Government to import a medical cannabis study drug in capsule form for a clinical trial at the University of California San Diego Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research to examine the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of cannabis for Essential Tremor (ET).

 

Exported CBD 100 medical cannabis, an oral solution of cannabinoid extract, from Canada to Australia to distribute to critically ill children in Australia suffering from intractable epilepsy through a compassionate access program.

Forward Looking Statements

This press release contains “forward-looking statements”, which may be identified by the use of words such as, “may”, “would”, “could”, “will”, “likely”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “believe, “intend”, “plan”, “forecast”, “project”, “estimate”, “outlook” and other similar expressions. including statements regarding our growth potential, the sustainability of growth, demand for our products and the medical and adult-use cannabis markets. Forward-looking statements are

PRESS RELEASE

not a guarantee of future performance and are based upon a number of estimates and assumptions of management in light of management’s experience and perception of trends, current conditions and expected developments, as well as other factors that management believes to be relevant and reasonable in the circumstances, including assumptions in respect of current and future market conditions. Actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from that expressed in, or implied by, any forward-looking statements in this press release, and, accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements and they are not guarantees of future results. Forward-looking statements involve significant risks, assumptions, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual future results or anticipated events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. Please see the heading “Risk Factors” in Tilray’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 29, 2018, for a discussion of the material risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking information. Tilray does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements that are included herein, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.

 

Use of Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its financial statements, the Company provides investors with information related to Adjusted EBITDA, which is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).  Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) before interest expense, net; other (income), net; tax expense; foreign exchange (gain) loss; depreciation and amortization; and stock-based compensation expense.  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. The Company believes non-U.S. GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.  Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to compare the Company's performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses and planning purposes.  Adjusted EBITDA is also presented to the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

Non-U.S. GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  Non-U.S. GAAP measures exclude significant expenses that are required by U.S. GAAP to be recorded in the Company's financial statements and are subject to inherent limitations.
