Revenue growth largely comes from Canadian recreational net revenue, which saw the overall sales figure rise from $44.2 million to $60.9 million over the three month period. Dry bud sales specifically is what drove the increase, which rose to $63.9 million on a gross basis from that of $40.1 million.

Cost of goods sold meanwhile came in at $109.2 million, providing the company with a gross margin of $26.0 million. This still was not enough to cover operating expenses however, which came in at $310.3 million this quarter. This was largely comprised of selling, general and administrative expenses of $147.3 million, but also included asset impairment charges of $46.4 million and expected credit losses on financial assets and related charges of $94.7 million.
Combined with other income of $221.3 million, the company managed to post a net loss of $96.6 million for the three month period.
Looking to the balance sheet, cash and cash equivalents fell significantly, dropping to $673.3 million from $975.9 million over the three month period, while short term investments were relatively flat overall, dropping to $1,048.9 million from $1,060.9 million in the prior period.
