Canopy Growth Corp (TSX: WEED) (NASDAQ: CGC) this morning released its third quarter 2021 financial results, reporting revenue of $152.5 million, along with a net loss of $829.3 million. The massive loss posted by the company was the result on numerous impairment and restructuring charges that the company took, as announced in December.
Cost of goods sold for the quarter came in at $127.9 million, resulting in a gross margin of $24.6 million for the company, demonstrating just how far away profitability is for the firm. Operating expenses meanwhile amounted to $578.2 million, of which $400.4 million were asset impairment and restructuring costs.
The next largest expense was that of selling, general and administrative, which came in at $144.1 million – meaning the company is still spending roughly $0.94 on SG&A for every $1.00 in net revenue it generates. Other expenses meanwhile amounted to $290.6 million, pushing the net loss for the quarter to $829.3 million.
Looking at the balance sheet, the company managed to improve its cash and cash equivalent position from $673.3 million to $825.0 million during the quarter.
