Insights

Aurora Cannabis delivered a remarkably strong Q2 FY2025 with several positive indicators. Net revenue grew 29% YoY to $81.1 million, driven by impressive 41% growth in global medical cannabis and 21% growth in plant propagation. The company achieved record Adjusted EBITDA of $10.1 million, a substantial 210% increase YoY.

Key strengths include international medical cannabis revenue surpassing Canadian revenue for the first time, reaching $35 million (93% growth) and strong adjusted gross margins of 54%. The debt-free cannabis business and $152 million cash position provide solid financial flexibility. However, consumer cannabis revenue declined 13% YoY as the company prioritized higher-margin medical sales.

The strategic pivot toward international medical cannabis markets is proving highly successful. Significant growth in key markets like Australia, Germany, Poland and the UK demonstrates strong market penetration and execution. The 68% adjusted gross margin in medical cannabis, compared to just 14% in consumer cannabis, validates this strategic focus.

The company's diversification through Bevo's plant propagation business adds stability, showing 21% growth even in its seasonally weakest quarter. The projected positive free cash flow by December 2024 and sustained EBITDA growth trajectory suggest improving operational efficiency and market position.

NASDAQ | TSX: ACB

  • Record Adjusted EBITDA1 of $10.1 Million, a YoY increase of 210%
  • Quarterly Net Revenue1 up 29% YoY to $81.1 Million, with 41% growth in Global Medical Cannabis
  • Re-Affirms Target of Positive Free Cash Flow1 in the Quarter Ending December 31, 2024

EDMONTON, AB, Nov. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Aurora Cannabis Inc. (the "Company" or "Aurora") (NASDAQ: ACB) (TSX: ACB), a leading Canada-based global medical cannabis company, today announced its financial and operational results for the second quarter fiscal 2025.

"Our strong quarterly results demonstrate Aurora's leadership in global medical cannabis and ability to capitalize on opportunities within rapidly growing markets such as Australia, Germany, Poland, and the UK. International revenue increased 93% to $35 million, exceeding Canadian Medical revenue for the first time, and contributing 57% to total global medical cannabis revenue. The Bevo plant propagation segment also grew a robust 21% during its seasonally lowest quarter, proving the efficacy of our diversified operating model," said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Miguel Martin.

"With two quarters remaining in the fiscal year, we are proud to have delivered record adjusted EBITDA1 and believe fiscal 2025 is anchored by our commitment to strategic growth, operational excellence, and the continued strength of our balance sheet," Mr. Martin concluded.

Second Quarter 2025 Highlights

(Unless otherwise stated, comparisons are made between fiscal Q2 2025, Q1 2025, and Q2 2024 results and are in Canadian dollars)

Consolidated Revenue and Adjusted Gross Profit:
Total net revenue1 was $81.1 million, as compared to $63.1 million in the prior year period. The 29% increase from the prior period was mainly due to 41% growth in our global medical cannabis business and 21% growth in our plant propagation business, slightly offset by lower quarterly revenue in our consumer cannabis business.

Consolidated adjusted gross margin before fair value adjustments1 was 54% in Q2 2025 and 51% in the prior year quarter. Adjusted gross profit before FV adjustments1 was $42.6 million in Q2 2025 vs $32.0 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 33%.

Medical Cannabis:
Medical cannabis net revenue1 was $61.3 million, a 41% increase from the prior year quarter, delivering 76% of Aurora's Q2 2025 consolidated net revenue1 and 98% of adjusted gross profit before fair value adjustments1.

The increase in net revenue1 of $17.8 million was primarily due to higher sales to Australia, Germany, Poland, and the UK, and stabilized sales in Canada.

Adjusted gross margin before fair value adjustments1 on medical cannabis net revenue reached 68% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 63% in the prior year quarter. The adjusted gross margins before fair value adjustments improved through sustainable cost reductions, higher selling prices in Australia, and improved efficiency in production operations, including sourcing for Europe from Canada.

Consumer Cannabis:
Aurora's consumer cannabis net revenue1 was $10.4 million, a 13% decrease compared to $12 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was due to our decision to prioritize the supply of our GMP manufactured products to our high margin international business rather than the consumer business, which offers lower margins.

Adjusted gross margin before fair value adjustments1 on consumer cannabis net revenue1 was 14%, decreasing from 27% compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease from the prior year comparative quarter is largely due to higher fixed overhead costs allocated to the consumer channel as a result of lower volumes manufactured for products sold by the channel. The Company strategically decided to allocate less internally produced cannabis for the consumer channel in favor of increasing its overall cannabis allocation for both its domestic and international medical channels.

Plant Propagation:
Plant propagation net revenue1 was wholly comprised of the Bevo business, and contributed $8.6 million of net revenue1, a 21% increase compared to $7.2 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was a result of organic growth and increased product offerings, both arising from increased capacity.

Adjusted gross margin before fair value adjustments1 on plant propagation revenue was 19% for Q2 2025 and 22% for the prior year quarter. The fluctuations in the plant propagation adjusted gross margin before fair value adjustments is due to the seasonal timing of lower margin product revenue and ramp up of the orchid business.

Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A"):
Adjusted SG&A1 was $31.7 million in Q2 2025, which excludes $4.0 million of business transformation costs. The increase compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 relates to higher freight and logistics costs, notably from sales to Europe with the increase in sourcing from Canada and incremental costs following the acquisition of MedReleaf Australia.

Net Income (Loss):
Net income from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $1.7 million compared to net income of $0.4 million for the prior year period. The increase in net income of $1.2 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 primarily relates to a decrease in other income of $8.4 million and decrease of operating expenses of $0.7 million, offset by an increase in gross profit of $7.8 million.

Adjusted EBITDA: 
Adjusted EBITDA1 increased 210% to $10.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $3.3 million for the prior year quarter.

Fiscal Q3 2025 Expectations:
In Q3 2025, we expect to see continued strong net revenue1 and adjusted gross margins1 across our global medical cannabis business, supported by net revenue1 growth in Europe and Australia.

For plant propagation, we expect to see seasonally reduced net revenues1 and adjusted gross profit1 that will be in line with historical seasonal trends as 25%35% of revenues are normally earned in the second half of a calendar year.

Positive adjusted EBITDA1 is expected to continue, while free cash flow1 is projected to be positive due to strong net revenue1 and continued spend discipline, resulting in strong adjusted gross margins.
