Insights

The strategic investment from BAT, coupled with the reported positive cash flow from operations and improved margins, indicates a strengthening financial position for Organigram. The allocation of 50% of the first tranche of investment towards general corporate purposes suggests a potential for operational expansion or debt reduction, which could improve the company's leverage ratios and financial flexibility. The reported net loss, however, contrasts with the positive Adjusted EBITDA and cash flow, highlighting the impact of non-cash items such as fair value adjustments on profitability. Investors should consider the sustainability of the improved margins and the company's ability to maintain its market position in the face of competitive pressures.

The maintenance of Organigram's #2 market position in Canada and leadership in several product categories demonstrates effective brand and product management. The introduction of 22 new SKUs, including innovative products like THCV pre-rolls, indicates a focus on product differentiation to capture consumer interest. The strategic investment in Greentank and Phylos suggests a forward-looking approach to technology and genetics, potentially offering a competitive edge. However, the decrease in net revenue compared to the prior period raises questions about market saturation and pricing pressures. The company's ability to convert its R&D and strategic investments into market share gains and revenue growth will be crucial for long-term success.

The application for EU-GMP certification of the Moncton facility is a strategic move that could open up European markets, subject to regulatory approval. Compliance with EU-GMP standards is critical for companies looking to participate in the global cannabis market, particularly in the medical sector. The successful export to the German medical market post-quarter indicates progress in this area. However, regulatory risks remain a concern, as changes in cannabis legislation can significantly impact market access and product development. The company's strategic investments and international expansion efforts must be carefully managed to navigate the complex legal landscape of the cannabis industry.

Key Financial Results for the First Quarter 2024

  • Net revenue:
    • Compared to the prior period, net revenue decreased 16% to $36.5 million, from $43.3 million in Q1 Fiscal 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in international revenue and medical sales
  • Cost of sales:
    • Q1 Fiscal 2024 cost of sales decreased to $26.9 million, from $31.6 million in Q1 Fiscal 2023, primarily due to lower sales including decreased international sales and lower cultivation and post-harvest costs
  • Gross margin before fair value changes to biological assets, inventories sold, and other charges:
    • Q1 Fiscal 2024 margin declined to $9.5 million from $11.7 million in Q1 Fiscal 2023, negatively impacted in the quarter by lower net revenue, and $1.7 million in inventory provisions versus $1.1 million in the same prior year period
  • Adjusted gross margin4:
    • Q1 Fiscal 2024 adjusted gross margin was $11.2 million, or 31% of net revenue, compared to $12.8 million, or 30%, in Q1 Fiscal 2023. The increase in the adjusted gross margin rate was primarily due to a decrease in depreciation
    • Adjusted gross margin improved sequentially to 31% from 17% in Q4 Fiscal 2023
  • Selling, general & administrative (SG&A) expenses:
    • Q1 Fiscal 2024 SG&A expenses increased to $16.5 million from $15.7 million in Q1 Fiscal 2023. The increase in expenses was primarily due to higher foreign exchange losses on foreign-currency denominated receivables and higher professional fees related to the BAT investment
  • Net (Loss) Income:
    • Q1 Fiscal 2024 net loss was $(15.8) million compared to a net income of $5.3 million in Q1 Fiscal 2023 as a result of lower gross margin due to the change in fair value of biological assets
  • Adjusted EBITDA5:
    • Q1 Fiscal 2024 Adjusted EBITDA was $0.1 million compared to $5.6 million adjusted EBITDA in Q1 Fiscal 2023. The decline is primarily attributed to lower international shipments, and higher SG&A expenses
    • Adjusted EBITDA improved sequentially by $2.5 million from $(2.4) million in Q4 Fiscal 2023
  • Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities before working capital changes:
    • Q1 Fiscal 2024 net cash provided by operating activities was $7.7 million, compared to $3.5 million cash provided in Q1 Fiscal 2023, which was primarily due to favorable changes in working capital, partially offset by lower Adjusted EBITDA

“Our results for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 demonstrate improvements on multiple fronts," added Greg Guyatt, Chief Financial Officer. "Our improved adjusted gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA on a sequential quarter-over-quarter basis were driven by the refinement of newly enhanced production processes for ready-to-consume products resulting from the $29 million in facility enhancements we completed in Fiscal 2023, the highly successful reintroduction of our patented Edison JOLTS to the market, and improved margin profiles in several product categories. In December 2023, we had a record breaking month in shipped recreational sales, stemming from consistent market share gains throughout Q1 Fiscal 2024."

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This news release refers to certain financial and operational performance measures (including adjusted gross margin, adjusted gross margin %, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow) that are not defined by and do not have a standardized meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Non-IFRS financial measures are used by management to assess the financial and operational performance of the Company. The Company believes that these non-IFRS financial measures, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, enable investors to evaluate the Company’s operating results, underlying performance and prospects in a similar manner to the Company’s management. As there are no standardized methods of calculating these non-IFRS measures, the Company’s approaches may differ from those used by others, and accordingly, the use of these measures may not be directly comparable. Accordingly, these non-IFRS measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure that the Company defines as net income (loss) before: financing costs, net of investment income; income tax expense (recovery); depreciation, amortization, reversal of/or impairment, normalization of depreciation add-back due to changes in depreciable assets resulting from impairment charges, (gain) loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment (per the statement of cash flows); share-based compensation (per the statement of cash flows); share of loss (gain) from investments in associates and impairment loss (recovery) from loan receivable; change in fair value of contingent consideration; change in fair value of derivative liabilities; expenditures incurred in connection with research and development activities (net of depreciation); unrealized (gain) loss on changes in fair value of biological assets; realized fair value on inventories sold and other inventory charges; provisions (recoveries) and net realizable value adjustment related to inventory and biological assets; government subsidies and insurance recoveries; legal provisions (recoveries); incremental fair value component of inventories sold from acquisitions; ERP implementation costs; transaction costs; and share issuance costs. Adjusted EBITDA is intended to provide a proxy for the Company’s operating cash flow and derives expectations of future financial performance for the Company, and excludes adjustments that are not reflective of current operating results.

Adjusted gross margin is a non-IFRS measure that the Company defines as net revenue less cost of sales, before the effects of (i) unrealized gain (loss) on changes in fair value of biological assets; (ii) realized fair value on inventories sold and other inventory charges; (iii) provisions (recoveries) of inventories and biological assets; (iv) provisions to net realizable value; (v) realized fair value on inventories sold from acquisitions.

Adjusted gross margin percentage is a non-IFRS measure that the Company calculates by dividing adjusted gross margin by net revenue.

Management believes that this adjusted gross margin and adjusted gross margin percentage both provide useful information to assess the profitability of our operations as it represents the normalized gross margin generated from operations and excludes the effects of non-cash fair value adjustments on inventories and biological assets, which are required by IFRS.

The most directly comparable measure to adjusted EBITDA, calculated in accordance with IFRS is net income (loss) and beginning on page 6 of this press release is a reconciliation to such measure. The most directly comparable measure to adjusted gross margin calculated in accordance with IFRS is gross margin before fair value adjustments and beginning on page 7 of this press release is a reconciliation to such measure.

Free cash flows is a non-IFRS financial performance measure that deducts capital expenditures from net cash provided by or used in operating activities. The Company believes this to be a useful indicator of its ability to operate without reliance on additional borrowing or usage of existing cash.

Free cash flows is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized definition under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Free cash flows is not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under IFRS. Other companies may calculate this measure differently.
