Our commitment to product quality, innovation and distribution excellence drove our top-line sales growth year over year; and our continued focus on operational efficiency and prudent capital management helped us deliver another quarter of adjusted EBITDA profitability. This is all thanks to the collective efforts of our talented and dedicated employees, who work hard every day to make quality products that help our consumers live happier lives. As we head into summer, we are excited to offer consumers new and innovative products to enjoy like our new larger Back Forty 0.75g pre-rolls, which will also be available to consumers in Quebec. We look forward to another quarter of sustainable, profitable growth and, as always, we will remain passionately committed to our consumers.”

Net Revenues 

For the period ended March 31, 2024, net revenues were $25.2 million as compared to $24.0 million during the same period in 2023, an increase of 5%. Revenues for 2023 were comprised of approximately 59% (2023 – 54%) in sales of dried flower and pre-roll Cannabis Products, with the remainder from oils and Cannabis 2.0 Product sales. Net revenues included wholesale bulk flower sales of approximately $4.2 million during the period. Approximately 76% (2023 – 85%) of cannabis sales during the period originated from sales to British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario. 

Gross Profit 

Auxly realized a gross profit of $9.5 million in the first quarter of 2024 resulting in a 37% Gross Profit Margin, as compared to $7.9 million or 33%, respectively, during the same period in 2023. The Gross Margin on Finished Cannabis Inventory Sold improved to 38% versus 37% in the same period of 2023 as a result of a higher proportion of Cannabis 1.0 Products sold, and the streamlining of Cannabis 2.0 Products and operating costs. 

Realized and unrealized fair value gains and losses reflect accounting treatments associated with Auxly Leamington cultivation activities and sales and are influenced by changes in production, sales and net realizable value assumptions. 

Inventory impairments during the first quarter of 2024 of $0.5 million were associated with charges related to reductions in net realizable value of dried cannabis under the Company’s product specifications and obsolescence of certain retired products and packaging, a decrease of $0.2 million from the comparative period. 

Total Expenses 

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) are comprised of wages and benefits, office and administrative, professional fees, business development, and selling expenses. SG&A expenses were $8.6 million in the first quarter of 2024, $1.5 million or 15% lower than the same period in 2023, primarily due to measures taken to reduce overhead in the organization. 

Wages and benefits were $4.3 million for the first quarter of 2024, as compared to $4.7 million for the same period of 2023. The decrease in expenses was related to the streamlining of operations and support staff as a result of a more focused product portfolio. 

Office and administrative expenses were $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2024, $0.9 million lower than the same period in 2023. The decreased expenditures primarily relate to streamlining of operations, the transition of the Company’s dried flower and pre-roll cannabis product manufacturing, processing and distribution activities to the Auxly Leamington facility, and reduced insurance expenses. 

Auxly’s professional fees were $0.5 million during the first quarter of 2024, $0.3 million lower than the same period in 2023. Professional fees incurred primarily related to accounting fees, regulatory matters, reporting issuer fees, and legal fees associated with certain corporate activities and as a result can fluctuate significantly from one period to the next. 

Business development expenses were $0.1 million for the first quarter of 2024, flat to the same period in 2023. These expenses primarily relate to business development and travel related expenses. 

Selling expenses were $2.4 million for the first quarter of 2024, an increase of $0.1 million over 2023, primarily as a result of higher Health Canada fees related to higher revenues, partially offset by reduced marketing initiatives. 

Equity-based compensation for the first quarter of 2024 was $1.9 million, primarily due to the impact of the increased closing price of the Company’s Shares as at March 31, 2024 on the value of Cash Settled RSUs. In the first quarter of 2023, equity-based compensation was $0.4 million. 

Depreciation and amortization expenses were $1.2 million for the first quarter of 2024, representing a decrease of $0.5 million over the same period in 2023, primarily as a result of reductions in intangible assets and depreciation associated with disposed assets, including the transition out of the Auxly Ottawa Carleton Place facility. 

Interest expenses were $6.9 million for the first quarter of 2024, an increase of $1.1 million over the same period in 2023. The increase in expense is primarily a result of the interest from newly financed obligations and higher accretion expense on convertible debentures. Interest expense includes accretion on the convertible debentures and interest paid in kind on the Imperial Debenture. Interest payable in cash was approximately $2.3 million for the first quarter of 2024, an increase of $0.3 million over the same period in 2023. 

Total Other Incomes and Losses 

Total other incomes and losses for the first quarter of 2024 were a net loss of $0.8 million compared to a net loss of $0.1 million in the comparative period. Other incomes and losses in the first quarter of 2024 were mainly driven by the loss on the adjustment to the provision related to the claim filed by Kindred Partners Inc. and foreign exchange losses. Other incomes and losses in 2023 were primarily due to foreign exchange losses. 

Net Income and Loss 

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $26.0 million, representing a net loss of $0.03 per share on a basic and diluted basis. The change in net loss in 2024 as compared to a net loss of $10.2 million in the same period of 2023 was primarily driven by the deferred tax expense on the conversion of Imperial Debenture into Shares, partially offset by improved gross profits and lower expenses. 

Adjusted EBITDA 

Adjusted EBITDA for the period ended March 31, 2024 was $2.2 million, an improvement of $2.1 million over the same period of 2023, primarily as a result of improvements in gross profits and SG&A. 

Outlook 

In 2024, Auxly remains dedicated to sustainable growth, improved profitability, and the excellence of its people. The Company will prioritize focused and efficient growth in its key product categories of vape, pre-roll and dried flower and continue to optimize and improve distribution and sales of its products. Auxly will continue to foster a collaborative team environment and pursue continued improvements in efficiency to reduce costs and deliver strong gross margins and increased profitability. It will also continue to pursue opportunities to strengthen its balance sheet. 

Auxly’s results for the first quarter of 2024 reinforced its commitment to sustainable profitability. While the first calendar quarter of the year is typically impacted by greater seasonality and consumer purchasing trends, revenues for the quarter improved from the same comparative period in 2023. This improved result is due to a more balanced sales mix as its portfolio has expanded further into dried flower and pre-roll product sales, which represented approximately 59% of revenues for the period. Furthermore, vape volumes rebounded in the quarter, building off the launch of the innovative all-in-one vapes under its Back Forty brand in Q4 2023. The Company continues to improve its SG&A by reducing overhead across the organization, ending the first quarter with $8.6 million in SG&A expenses, which is 11% lower than Q4 2023 and 15% lower than the comparative period in 2023. The first quarter of 2024 reflects the first full quarter of results where it sold certain Cannabis 2.0 Products produced by the Company’s contract manufacturing partners, allowing for the streamlining of its operations and the reduction of overhead. The Company is pleased to have maintained its leadership position in the Canadian cannabis market as the 6th largest licensed producer in Canada by total recreational sales, while maintaining an industry-leading low-cost structure that resulted in another consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA. 

Alongside the improvements in revenues, gross margins, and material improvements in Adjusted EBITDA from the same comparative period in 2023, the Company continues to strengthen its balance sheet. Auxly worked closely with Imperial to convert $123.4 million of debt and interest outstanding under the Imperial Debenture, increasing Imperial’s equity holding in Auxly to 19.8%. The Company also extended the maturity date of Auxly Leamington’s credit facility by two years to December 31, 2025. 

Looking ahead, Auxly will continue to grow sustainably and expect to see revenue expansion and gross margin improvements, driven by increased consumer demand in the summer months, and higher cultivation yields that continue to drive down operating costs. The Company believes that the impact of these factors, along with the stabilization of its SG&A, will improve its Adjusted EBITDA profile.

The Company has officially launched its first branded product in Quebec, where consumers are able to experience the simple, uncomplicated products of Back Forty.  The initial products available now are the Company’s new, slim style, large format 0.75g three-pack pre-rolls.

Building off the incredible success of Back Forty slim pre-rolls, which is currently the #1 selling pre-roll brand in Ontario,[1] the Company is thrilled to introduce its advanced, fully automated for precision, 0.75g three pack pre-rolls, that deliver a full flower taste and offer a consistent burn from start to finish.  This three pack uses Auxly’s latest top performing cultivar, Liquid Imagination, a potent cross between Blue Zkittles and Jet Fuel Gelato and developed at Auxly Leamington’s advanced greenhouse.  Consumers will be delighted by its high-potency blend that is chock-full of trichomes.         

In addition, Auxly is continuing to build its presence in the competitive vapour category where it currently holds the #2 LP position in national sales.[2]  Late last year, the Company introduced its new all-in-one vape hardware through its Back Forty brand, this convenient format was designed to be held in the palm of your hand and offer big flavour in a small size.  It quickly became a consumer favourite, securing the top 4 selling SKU positions in Ontario for the last three months[3] while propelling the Company and the Back Forty brand to the #1 position in national disposable vape sales.The Company is thrilled to announce further expansion in its hand held all-in-one vapes, with new flavour profiles like White Freeze, a nostalgic experience for the senses with notes of cream soda, vanilla and lemonade, being introduced through the Back Forty brand, as well as the launch of a new offering under its premium brand Kolab Project.  This new Kolab all-in-one rechargeable vape uses innovative dual-heat settings that allow consumers to customize their experience to their personal preference, guaranteeing a carefully crafted experience, and will offer one of the Company’s most potent extracts at 92-98% THC.      “We are thrilled to announce our entry into the Quebec market,” said Mike Lickver, President of Auxly.  “Quebec makes up approximately 12% of the total Canadian recreational cannabis market, so this expansion represents a significant milestone for us and the beginning of a long-term relationship with the province. This entry also solidifies our national market presence by ensuring our products can get into the hands of Canadian consumers coast to coast, as we now have a presence in all provinces and two

territories.  As we continue our mission to help consumers live happier lives by providing them with quality cannabis products, we are dedicated to delivering cutting-edge solutions that address their evolving needs.”

ownership

TORONTO, Ontario, April 1, 2024 – Auxly Cannabis Group Inc. (TSX – XLY) (OTCQB: CBWTF) (“Auxly” or
the “Company”) a leading consumer packaged goods company in the cannabis products market, is pleased to announce the completion of the conversion of $123.4 million of principal and accrued interest under the 4.00% unsecured convertible debenture of the Company due September 25, 2026 (the “Debenture”) and the amendment to the amended and restated investor rights agreement dated July 6, 2021 (the “Investor Rights Agreement”) with 1213509 B.C. Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Imperial Brands plc (“Imperial”), pursuant to the terms previously announced on March 25, 2024.

Imperial has converted (the “Conversion”) (i) $121.9 million of the principal amount outstanding under

(“Shares”), and (ii) $1.56 million of accrued interest under the Debenture into 90,882,667 Shares at a price

“We appreciate the continued support of our strategic partner Imperial who we now also welcome as our largest shareholder”, said Hugo Alves, CEO Auxly. “The conversion improves the financial position of the Company by eliminating $123 million in debt and is expected to reduce our proforma 2024 annual interest and accretion expense by approximately $14 million. This is fantastic news for Auxly; we will continue to look for ways to strengthen our balance sheet and remain focused on delivering profitable growth with quality products and incredible teamwork.”

Following the Conversion, Imperial held 247,631,691 Shares (the “Conversion Shares“) (19.8% of the issued and outstanding Shares (calculated on a non-diluted basis)), and $1,000,000 principal amount of the Debenture (the “Principal Amount“). The aggregate consideration paid by Imperial for the Conversion Shares was $123.4 million. The Interest Conversion Price was derived from the five-day volume weighted average price of the Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX“) for the five trading days prior to Imperial’s delivery of its notice to convert, as specified by the terms of the Debenture.

In addition to the Principal Amount, $20.6 million of accrued interest as of March 28, 2024 remains outstanding under the Debenture following the Conversion, which remain convertible into Shares provided that the exercise of Imperial’s conversion rights with respect to accrued and unpaid interest under the Debenture (the “Interest Conversion Election“) may not result in Imperial, together with its affiliates, beneficially owning more than 19.9% of the Shares (assuming the conversion of the principal amount of the Debenture in full and calculated on a non-diluted basis).

Assuming the remainder of the principal amount under the Debenture is converted in full on the date hereof (which excludes the exercise of the Interest Conversion Election by Imperial), Imperial would have beneficial ownership of 248,866,259 Shares or approximately 19.9% of the issued and outstanding Shares (calculated on a non-diluted basis).

Imperial intends to review its investment in the Company on a continuing basis and may, subject to the terms of the A&R Investor Rights Agreement, purchase or sell Shares, either on the open market or in private transactions, or further exercise its conversion rights under the Debenture in the future, in each case, depending on a number of factors, including general market and economic conditions and other factors and conditions Imperial deems appropriate. Imperial may formulate other purposes, plans or proposals regarding the Company or any of its securities or may change its intention with respect to any of the foregoing.

In connection with the Conversion, the Company and Imperial also entered into the A&R Investor Rights Agreement amending the Investor Rights Agreement. While Imperial will continue to have the right to nominate one director to serve on the board of directors of the Company, in addition to certain other governance rights so long as Imperial and its affiliates (collectively, the “Imperial Group“), collectively, meet certain specified beneficial ownership thresholds of Shares, the A&R Investor Rights Agreement was amended to remove certain provisions which, previously, (i) conferred on Auxly certain exclusivity rights with respect to the development, manufacture, commercialization, sale and distribution of Cannabis products by Imperial, and (ii) certain provisions relating to commercial cooperation among the parties.

An early warning report will be filed by Imperial with applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities. To obtain a copy of the early warning report, please contact Matthew Brace at +44 (0)117 963 6636.

The Debentures are convertible into Common Shares at a price of $0.81 per share at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding maturity.  Auxly remains Imperial Brands’ exclusive global partner for any future development, manufacture, commercialization, sale and distribution of cannabis products.

In connection with the initial investment by Imperial Brands, the parties entered into an investor rights agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement“) which provides, among other things, that for so long as Imperial Brands holds a partially diluted percentage of outstanding common shares in the capital of Auxly of not less than 15%, it is eligible to nominate one individual designated by Imperial Brands for election as a director to Auxly’s Board. As Imperial Brands no longer holds the required percentage under the Investor Rights Agreement, its nominee, Murray McGowan, has resigned from Auxly’s Board effective immediately.

“On behalf of myself, and the rest of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank Mr. McGowan for his valuable guidance and support over the past two years.” said Hugo Alves, CEO of Auxly. “The extension of the Debenture will further our goal of prudently managing and strengthening our balance sheet and I would like to thank our partners at Imperial Brands for their ongoing commitment to our Company and I look forward to our continued relationship.”

Related Party Transaction

Imperial Brands is considered a “related party” of the Company, and the Amendment constitutes a “related party transaction”, as such terms are defined by Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101“). The Company is relying on an exemption from the shareholder approval and formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101 available on the basis of financial hardship which provides an exemption where the financial hardship criteria set out in Subsection 5.5(g) of MI 61-101 are met and where there is no other requirement, corporate or otherwise, to hold a meeting to obtain any approval of the holders of any class of affected securities.

Further details have been provided in the corresponding material change report related to the Amendment.

Resignation of CFO and Appointment of Interim CFO

Auxly announces the resignation of Mr. Brian Schmitt from his position as Chief Financial Officer (“CFO“) of Auxly, effective July 26, 2023. Mr. Schmitt is leaving for an opportunity outside of the cannabis industry at a non-reporting issuer. Travis Wong, Auxly’s Senior Vice President of Finance, has been appointed interim CFO of Auxly effective immediately.  

Mr. Wong joined Auxly in 2017 and currently holds the position of Senior Vice President of Finance where he has been responsible for managing Auxly’s day-to-day finance activities. Mr. Wong has more than 15 years of corporate finance, accounting and capital markets experience. Prior to joining Auxly, he worked as a natural resources investment banker at Nomura Securities based in London, England. He has advised on over $5bn of public and private M&A transactions and has been involved in capital raising transactions for a broad range of European corporations. Earlier in his career, he held positions at KPMG LLP in their audit and deal advisory teams.  He is a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA Canada), and holds a Bachelor of Business Administration from Simon Fraser University and an MBA from the University of Oxford.

“On behalf of myself, the Board of Directors and the entire Auxly team, I would like to thank Mr. Schmitt for his contributions and dedication to Auxly since joining in early 2019, and we wish him the best of luck with all of his future endeavors,” said Hugo Alves, CEO of Auxly. “Travis has been with Auxly since it was founded in 2017 he is a talented finance professional and has a deep understanding of Auxly’s business and the cannabis industry in general.  We are delighted to welcome Travis to our senior executive team and have every confidence that is going to do an exceptional job for Auxly.” 

Warrant Amendments

The Company has received all necessary approvals required to implement the warrant amendments that were previously announced on February 10, 2023, and such warrant amendments are now effective. The Company amended the terms of 27,381,500 common share purchase warrants (the “Warrants“) which were issued pursuant to a bought deal financing completed on June 14,2021 to (i) reduce the exercise price to $0.045 per common share, and (ii) extend the expiry date to June 14, 2026. None of the Warrants are held, directly or indirectly, by insiders.
