Segment Performance
Revenue growth was led by the cannabis division, which saw a 14% increase in net revenue to $65.1M. Canada medical cannabis was the strongest performer, rising 22% to $25.8M, driven by an increase in insured customers and the integration of MTL Cannabis Corp. This growth was partially offset by the Canadian government’s reduction in the Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) reimbursement rate for medical cannabis.
Canada adult-use cannabis revenues jumped 10% to $29.7M, primarily attributable to increased flower sales following the MTL Cannabis acquisition. International markets cannabis revenue grew 10% to $9.6M, led by strength in Europe, specifically Poland. Storz & Bickel sales increased 6% to $16.1M, benefiting from prior-year portfolio expansion and sales in non-core markets.
Margins and Profitability Outlook
Consolidated gross margin improved to 27% from 25% in the prior year. On an adjusted basis, gross margin expanded to 31%, excluding inventory step-up charges of $2.6 million related to the MTL Cannabis acquisition. Storz & Bickel’s gross margin surged to 48% from 29%, aided by cost rationalization and the recovery of certain U.S. tariffs.
Tom Stewart, Chief Financial Officer, stated that the combination of top-line growth and cost management is enabling steady progress on key profitability measures. He noted that the MTL Cannabis integration is driving increased supply of high-quality flower and meaningful synergies, with further improvements anticipated in the second half of fiscal 2027 as the integration completes.
