Tilray Brands Q2 Report Amid Cannabis and Beverage Expansion

LOS ANGELES- Tilray Brands, Inc., Cannabis and consumer packaged goods industries, has announced its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, ended November 30, 2023. The company has reported a record net revenue of $194 million, marking a significant 34% increase over the previous year’s quarter. This growth is primarily attributed to substantial gains in both the cannabis and beverage alcohol sectors.

In the cannabis segment, Tilray has consolidated its market dominance in Canada, with a notable 31% increase in Canadian Cannabis Net Revenue. Additionally, the company has furthered its leadership in the European medical cannabis market, reporting a remarkable 55% growth in International Cannabis Net Revenue. This dual success firmly positions Tilray as a top player in the global cannabis industry.

The company has also made impressive strides in the U.S. beverage-alcohol market. As the 5th largest craft beer brewer in the U.S., Tilray has showcased a staggering 117% increase in Beverage Alcohol Net Revenue over the prior year, positioning itself to become a top 12 beverage-alcohol company. This growth reflects the company’s effective strategies and diversified portfolio.

Tilray’s financial health is further evidenced by its progress in achieving significant annual savings. The company is on track to realize $30-$35 million in annual savings related to the integration of its HEXO acquisition. This strategic move is a testament to Tilray’s operational efficiency and financial acumen.

The company’s CEO, Irwin D. Simon, has emphasized Tilray’s role as an innovative disruptor across multiple sectors, including medical and adult-use cannabis, wellness foods and snacks, and craft beverages. Simon highlights the strength of Tilray’s global team and diversified growth strategy, which have collectively enhanced the company’s market position.

Despite these successes, Tilray did report a net loss of $46 million for the quarter, an improvement from the $62 million loss in the previous year. This loss has been partially offset by the company’s robust performance in revenue growth and cost savings initiatives.

Looking ahead, Tilray remains optimistic about its future, reiterating its financial guidance for the fiscal year 2024. With its strong market position in both cannabis and beverage-alcohol sectors, and a solid financial foundation, Tilray is well-positioned to continue its growth trajectory and further solidify its presence in these dynamic industries.
