Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
Accounting Policy

Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, are classified as held-for-sale if it is highly probable that they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continued use. Such assets, or disposal groups, are generally measured at the lower of their carrying amount and the fair value less costs of disposal. Impairment losses recognized upon initial classification as held-for-sale and subsequent gains and losses on re-measurement are recognized in the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). Once classified as held-for-sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no longer amortized or depreciated.

ICC

In June 2024, the Company made a formal decision to exit from its operations in Uruguay that are operated through its wholly-owned subsidiary ICC Labs Inc. (“ICC”). During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $11.6 million to record the assets held for sale at their fair value less costs to sell. ICC was previously included in the Cannabis operating segment. The impairment was recorded to net loss from discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company closed an asset sale agreement for the sale of the majority of ICC’s property, plant and equipment in Uruguay in consideration of cash proceeds of $1.2 million (U.S.$0.9 million) and assignment of the lease liability of $1.3 million. On November 29, 2024, the Company signed an agreement to sell the remaining assets and liabilities held for sale by way of a share sale of ICC’s wholly owned operating subsidiary. Subsequent to March 31, 2025, the Company received the requisite regulatory approval for the share sale of ICC. The share sale is expected to close in Q2 2025.

Whistler Alpha Lake

During the year ended March 31, 2024, the facility was sold for net proceeds of $2.3 million. The Company recognized a gain of $1.6 million on disposal, which is recognized in other gains (losses) in the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) (Note 17).

European R&D Facility and Land

During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company decided to sell a European R&D Facility and to exit the agreement with its partners in Growery B.V. (“Growery”), one of the license holders entitled to participate in the Netherlands’ still-pending Controlled Cannabis Supply Chain Experiment. As a result, the Company reclassified the related property, plant, and equipment of $8.9 million to assets held for sale. On November 3, 2023, the Company sold its interest in Aurora Netherland B.V., a subsidiary that owns the R&D facility and related assets of Growery for gross proceeds of approximately $8.3 million (Euro €5.8 million) and recognized an impairment loss of $0.6 million (Euro €0.4 million). Following the sale, Netherlands is recognized as loss of control in non-controlling interests (Note 10).
(b)    Discontinued Operations

In connection with the closure of the Aurora Nordic facility, Reliva, the dissolution of its partnership in Growery B.V., during the year ended March 31, 2024 and the decision to exit its ICC operations in Uruguay during the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company has reported these previously designated cash generating units as discontinued operations
