Owned Assets

Property, plant and equipment is measured at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.

Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the asset acquisition. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour, other costs directly attributable to make the asset available for its intended use, as well as relevant borrowing costs on qualifying assets as further described below. During their construction, property, plant and equipment are classified as construction in progress (“CIP”) and are not subject to depreciation. When the asset is available for use, it is transferred from CIP to the relevant category of property, plant and equipment and depreciation commences.

Where particular parts of an asset are significant, discrete and have distinct useful lives, the Company may allocate the associated costs between the various components, which are then separately depreciated over the estimated useful lives of each respective component. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:

Computer software and equipment 3 - 5 years
Production equipment 5 - 10 years
Furniture and fixtures 5 years
Building and improvements 10 - 30 years

Residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed annually and changes are accounted for prospectively.

Gains and losses on asset disposals are determined by deducting the carrying value from the sale proceeds and are recognized in profit or loss.

The Company capitalizes borrowing costs on qualifying capital construction projects. Upon the asset becoming available for use, capitalization of borrowing costs ceases and depreciation commences on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related asset.

Right-of-use leased assets

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, which is calculated as the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability plus any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, any initial direct costs and related restoration costs. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the useful life of the underlying asset. Depreciation is recognized from the commencement date of the lease.

If the right-of-use asset is subsequently leased to a third party (a “sublease”), the Company will assess the classification of the sublease as to whether it is a finance or operating lease. Subleases that are classified as an operating lease will recognize lease income while a finance lease will recognize a lease receivable and derecognize the carrying value of the right-of-use asset, with the difference recorded in profit or loss.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment

The Company assesses impairment of property, plant and equipment when an impairment indicator arises (e.g. change in use or discontinued use, obsolescence or physical damage). When the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or group of assets, the asset is tested at the cash generating unit (“CGU”) level. In assessing impairment, the Company compares the carrying amount of the asset or CGU to the recoverable amount, which is determined as the higher of the asset or CGU’s fair value less costs of disposal and its value-in-use. Value-in-use is assessed based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects applicable market and economic conditions, the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of the asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount and is recorded in the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

(1)Includes reclassification of construction in progress cost when associated projects are complete and transfers to assets held for sale (Note 6).

In relation to the Company’s wind down of the consumer channel, property, plant and equipment that were exclusively used in the consumer channel were classified as held for sale (see Note 6(a)) or impaired. The total impairment of property, plant and equipment recognized in relation to these assets was $2.2 million, which comprises production and other equipment and buildings.

Depreciation relating to manufacturing equipment and production facilities for owned and right-of-use leased assets is capitalized to inventory and is expensed to cost of sales upon the sale of goods. During the year ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized $24.8 million (year ended March 31, 2025 – $18.1 million) of depreciation expense of which $12.4 million (year ended March 31, 2025 – $12.4 million) was reflected in cost of sales.
