For the fiscal fourth quarter, Haywood lowered their estimates to be in line with the consensus estimates. They now expect revenues to come in at $153.3 million, which implies a 1% growth sequentially and only 8% on a year-over-year basis. They expect adjusted gross margins to come in at 26.9%, a 2.9% decrease year over year, while their adjusted EBITDA estimate is now $9.9 million, or a margin of 6.5% and flat on a quarter-over-quarter basis. They add that according to the most recent Hifyre data, Tilray has lost even more market share, falling almost 2% to 8.1% of the adult-use market.
On the strategic transaction with HEXO Corp (TSX: HEXO), Haywood says that the cost-saving of $80 million and the annual advisory fee of $18 million help offset the market share losses in Tilray’s Canadian adult-use segment.
Haywood adds though that they are optimistic for the company on its international opportunities, which mainly are its U.S investments. They remain cautious “on the overall Canadian landscape which drives a significant amount of its revenue growth opportunity.”
Lastly, Haywood has elected to lower their full-year 2023 estimates slightly and say that, “we will await a return to growth in the Canadian adult-use cannabis segment, strengthening of on-premise alcohol sales and results from the Whole Foods partnership prior to making any material near-term updates to our estimates.”
