FY26 Q4 EARNINGS RESULTS
"During fiscal year 2026, we exceeded our projection for global medical cannabis net revenue1 led by double-digit growth in Europe and delivered on our expectation for Adjusted EBITDA1 with both at record outcomes. Our performance validates Aurora's global medical cannabis strategy which has positioned us as a leading provider in Canada, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand," said Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for Aurora, Miguel Martin.

Fourth Quarter 2026 Highlights
(Unless otherwise stated, comparisons are made between fiscal Q4 2026 and Q4 2025 results and are in Canadian dollars and reflects only the results of continuing operations, unless otherwise noted.
On February 17, 2026, the Company completed the divestiture of its 50.1% ownership interest in Bevo Agtech Inc. ("Bevo"). As such, Bevo has been excluded from the Company's Q4 2026 continuing results, along with comparative figures, due to its classification as a discontinued operation.)
Consolidated Revenue and Adjusted Gross Profit:
Total net revenue1 was $84.8 million, as compared to $76.8 million in the prior year period. The 10% increase from the prior
year period was mainly due to 14% growth in our global medical cannabis business and higher wholesale bulk cannabis net revenue, offset
by lower quarterly net revenue1 in our consumer cannabis business.
Consolidated adjusted gross margin before fair value adjustments1 was 60% in Q4 2026 and 65% in the prior year period. Adjusted gross profit before FV adjustments1 was $50.5 million in Q4 2026 compared to $50.2 million in the prior year period.
Medical Cannabis:
Medical cannabis net revenue1 was $77.1 million, a 14% increase from the prior year period, delivering 91% of Aurora's
Q4 2026 consolidated net revenue1 and 101% of adjusted gross profit before fair value adjustments1.
The increase in medical cannabis net revenue1 of $9.3 million was primarily due to higher sales in Germany, related to increased market size, and growth in Poland, along with higher revenue in Canada to insured patients related to broader portfolio offerings.
Adjusted gross margin before fair value adjustments1 on medical cannabis net revenue1 was 66% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 71% in the prior year period. The year-over-year decrease was due to higher sales with lower margins and strategic price reductions.
Consumer Cannabis:
Aurora's consumer cannabis net revenue1 was $3.6 million, compared to $8.2 million in the prior year period. The decrease
was due to our strategic shift to focus on Canadian and international medical cannabis and wind down our consumer business.
Adjusted gross margin before fair value adjustments1 on consumer cannabis net revenue1 was 22%, a decrease from 27% compared to the prior year period. The decrease is primarily due to higher input costs related to third-party sourcing.
Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative
("Adjusted SG&A"):
Adjusted SG&A1 was $40.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $35.4 million in the prior
year period. The increase compared to the prior year period relates to increased headcount, higher contract labour in Europe and Australia,
an expected credit loss of $1.9 million due to the insolvency of two customers and additional professional fees relating to public company
costs incurred in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year.
Net Income (Loss):
Net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $27.6 million compared to a net loss of $12.1
million for the prior year period. The increase in net loss from continuing operations of $15.4 million was primarily related to
other expenses of $1.7 million in the current period, compared to other income of $11.9 million in the prior year period. This was slightly
offset by an increase in gross profit of $2.5 million.
Adjusted Net Income:
Adjusted net income1 was $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $15.3 million for the prior
year period. The $9.7 million decrease primarily relates to an increase in adjusted SG&A of $4.9 million, a decrease in foreign exchange
gains and interest income, of $10.3 million and $4.5 million, respectively.
Adjusted EBITDA:
Adjusted EBITDA1 was $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $14.1 million for the prior
year period.
Free Cash Flow:
Free cash flow was $0.3 million compared to $5.2 million in the prior year quarter. Free cash flow decreased by $4.9 million primarily
due to a decrease in gross profit before fair value adjustments of $5.3 million.
Strategic Business Update
Plant Propagation:
On February 3, 2026, Aurora and its wholly owned subsidiary entered into a definitive agreement with Bevo Agtech Inc and Bevo Farms
Ltd. pursuant to which, among other things, Aurora agreed to exchange all of its common shares of Bevo for preferred shares of Bevo. On
February 17, 2026, the transaction closed, resulting in the disposal of the Company's 50.1% ownership interest in Bevo and loss of control.
The financial results of Bevo are no longer consolidated in Aurora's financial statements subsequent to the closing of the transaction.
Safari Flower Company Acquisition:
On April 15, 2026, the Company acquired Safari Flower Company ("Safari"), through a share purchase acquisition, for
total consideration of $26.5 million, subject to customary closing adjustments. The consideration is composed of $15 million in cash and
2,417,180 Common Shares with an approximate fair value of $11.5 million. Included in the total consideration is contingent consideration
totaling $2 million upon satisfying certain GMP certifications.
The acquisition of Safari provides the Company with a 59,000 square foot EU-GMP certified indoor cultivation and manufacturing facility to supply cannabis to key international markets while reducing reliance on third party purchases.
Fiscal Full Year 2027 Outlook:
Our outlook reflects the strategic changes we have made in exiting our low margin Canadian Consumer and Plant Propagation businesses,
which will allow the Company to reallocate resources to focus on global medical cannabis. We believe this is our highest return opportunity
to create value.
Over the next few quarters, we are purposely investing in our international business through strategic sales initiatives and EU GMP capacity expansion to support growth in our most profitable markets. These efforts are expected to help offset the impact of margin reductions in our Canadian medical business, following the reduction in government reimbursed pricing, effective April 1, 2026.
