The improvement in net earnings is due to an approximately $601 million gain from changes in non-cash fair value. Considering this and other financial calibrations, adjusted EBITDA for the quarter came in at a loss of $63.6 million compared to last quarter’s $94 million and last year’s $92.2 million.
Canopy Growth’s cash and short-term investments value at the end of the quarter is at $2.1 billion, down from $2.3 billion last quarter. This is in part due to a cash burn that ended the quarter with $559.8 million in cash and cash equivalents from $1.2 billion at the start of the period. A major part of this cash flow change comes from short-term investment purchases valued at $346.6 million. On the other hand, free cash flow ended at an outflow of $186.1 million compared to last year’s outflow of $180.1 million.
The company remains optimistic about achieving a positive adjusted EBITDA during the second half of the fiscal year 2022.
Canopy Growth last traded at $23.96 on the TSX.
