Effective internal control is necessary for us to provide timely, reliable and accurate financial reports, identify and proactively correct any deficiencies, material weaknesses or fraud and meet our reporting obligations. We had two restatements and seven material weaknesses in the last six years and have had significant turnover, both voluntary and involuntary, in our accounting and financial reporting functions as well as in our internal audit function. Moreover, we had a material weakness in our control environment existing as of December 31, 2022.

An investment in us involves a number of risks. In addition to the other information contained in this Annual Report and in other filings we make, investors should give careful consideration to the following risk factors. Any of the matters highlighted in these risk factors could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, causing an investor to lose all, or part of, its, his or her investment. The risks and uncertainties described below are those we currently believe to be material, but they are not the only ones we face. If any of the following risks, or any other risks and uncertainties that we have not yet identified or that we currently consider not to be material, actually occur or become material risks,material, our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and consequently the price of our securities could be materially and adversely affected.

We have incurred significant losses in recent periods and have had negative operating cash flow for fivefour of the last six fiscal years. We may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability and may continue to incur significant losses in the future even in light of our Realignment, the change in the nature of operations at the Peace Naturals Campus, the exit of our U.S. operations, the cessation of our operations at the Cronos Fermentation Facility and the Cronos GrowCo Transaction.future. In addition, we expect to continue to incur significant costs and operating expenses as we implement initiatives to continue to grow our business. If our revenues do not increase to offset these expected costs and operating expenses, we will not be profitable. If our revenue declines or fails to grow at a rate faster than our operating expenses, we will not be able to achieve and maintain profitability in future periods. As a result, we may continue to generate losses. We may not achieve profitability in the future and, even if we do become profitable, we might not be able to sustain that profitability.
We may not be able to successfully manage changes in our business or sustain our growth.

While our revenue has generally grown in recent years, ourOur ability to manage changes in our business and sustain revenueour growth will depend on a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including, but not limited to, changes in laws and regulations respecting the production of cannabis products, competition from other license holders, the size of the illegal market and the adult-use market in Canada and the other markets in which we sell,sell andor distribute, our ability to produce sufficient volumes of our products to meet customer demand.demand, Ourour ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue to implement and improve our operational and financial systems and controls, and our ability to expand, train and manage our employee base. There can be no assurances that we will be able to manage changes in our business or sustain our growth successfully. Any inability to manage changes in our business or sustain our growth successfully could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our use of joint ventures may exposeexposes us to risks associated with jointly owned investments.
We currently operate parts of our business through joint ventures with other companies, and we may enter into additional joint ventures and strategic alliances in the future. Joint venture investments may involve risks not otherwise present for investments made solely by us, including: (i) we may not control the joint ventures, either by virtue of our economic or legal ownership share, or our ability to influence day-to-day operational decision-making; (ii) our joint venture partners may not agree to distributions that we believe are appropriate; (iii) where we do not have substantial decision-making authority, we may experience impasses or disputes with our joint venture partners on certain decisions, which could require us to expend additional resources to resolve such impasses or disputes, including litigation or arbitration; (iv) our joint venture partners may become insolvent or bankrupt, fail to fund their share of required capital contributions or otherwise fail to fulfill their obligations as a joint venture partner; (v) the arrangements governing our joint ventures may contain certain conditions or milestone events that may never be satisfied or achieved; (vi) our joint venture partners may have business or economic interests that are inconsistent with ours and may take actions contrary to our interests; (vii) we may suffer losses as a result of actions taken by our joint venture partners with respect to our joint venture investments; (viii) it may be difficult for us to exit a joint venture if an impasse arises or if we desire to sell our interest for any reason; (ix) our joint venture partners may exercise termination rights under the relevant agreements and (x) conflicts of interest may arise between our joint ventures and Company personnel who are directors of our joint ventures because of the fact that such directors are employed by us. Certain of these risks have materialized in the past. In addition, we may, in certain circumstances, be liable for the actions of our joint ventures or joint venture partners. Any of the foregoing risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and the magnitude of these material adverse effects could be greater to the extent we decide to rely on such joint ventures for certain goods or services, such as the receipt of raw materials from Cronos GrowCo, or decide to outsource certain operating activities to such joint ventures.
WhileOur ourprior revenueperformance in Israel has experienced periods of significant growth, our prior performance is not indicative of any potential future results in Israel. The Middle East Conflict has created significant uncertainty with respect to our operations in Israel and may materially and adversely affect our sales and other activities in Israel. There can be no assurance that our growth in the Israeli market can be sustained or will continue. Our ability to manage and sustain revenue growth in Israel will depend on a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including, but not limited to, the impact of, and developments in, the Middle East Conflict on our operations, our ability to continue to import cannabis into Israel (including the outcome of the Anti-Dumping Investigation initiated by the Israel Ministry of Economy and Industry, see Part II, Note 12(b) “Contingencies” to the consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Annual Report for further details), changes in laws and regulations respecting the cultivation, production, marketing and sale of medical cannabis products in Israel, growth of the medical cannabis patient count in Israel, increased competition, our ability to produce sufficient volumes of our products to meet customer demand and our ability to maintain or grow our market share in Israel. Any of these factors could materially and negatively impact our growth in Israel.
We have begun to further leverage our strategic joint venture with Cronos GrowCo. Our revised plans for the Peace Naturals Campus as well as the Company’s intention to pursue a sale of the Cronos Fermentation Facility, the completion of the Cronos GrowCo Transaction and entry into the Cronos GrowCo Supply Agreement have increased the importance of Cronos GrowCo to our business and operations. Cronos GrowCo’s production facilities are our principal source of raw materials. Therefore, our performance in Israel is reliant on our ability to acquire sufficient raw materials on a timely and cost-effective basis from Cronos GrowCo and to continue to import such raw materials and cannabis products to Israel from Cronos GrowCo’s production facilities. Though the Company provided an approximately $51 million secured non-revolving credit facility to Cronos GrowCo to fund the expansion of Cronos GrowCo’s cultivation and processing facilities (such area, the “Phase 2 Expansion Area”), thereThere is no guarantee that we will be able to successfully execute our strategy to expand production at Cronos GrowCo or that we will be able to obtain the regulatory approvals, licenses and permits required for both the export of cannabis from Canada and the import of cannabis into Israel. Further, there can be no assurance that the Anti-Dumping Investigation will not result in the imposition of an anti-dumping duty on us or limit our imports into Israel, or that other trade restrictions will not limit our imports into Israel, the impact of which could have a material adverse effect on our business in Israel.
Our acquisition strategy may not be successful, and we have in the past, and may in the future, need to write down the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets recognized upon the acquisitions.acquisition.
Our growth strategy has included, and may continue to include, acquisitions and strategic investments. These transactions involve significant risks and uncertainties, including challenges associated with integration, changes in market conditions, regulatory developments, and the performance of acquired businesses or investments. As a result, acquisitions and strategic investments may not produce the anticipated revenues, profits or other benefits.
We have in the past recorded significant impairment charges related to goodwill and intangible assets arising from prior acquisitions, and we may be required to record additional impairment charges in the future if the carrying value of such assets exceeds their estimated fair value. Any such impairment charges could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Consummation of our planned acquisition of CanAdelaar is subject to closing conditions and regulatory approvals, and the transaction may be delayed, incur additional costs, or fail to close. If completed, we may face integration challenges and future unforeseen obligations based on CanAdelaar’s operating performance following closing.
We entered into a definitive share sale and purchase agreement to acquire CanAdelaar, one of the licensed producers participating in the Netherlands’ Controlled Cannabis Supply Chain Experiment (the “Wietexperiment”). The completion of this transaction is subject to a number of closing conditions, including obtaining required regulatory clearances in the Netherlands, receipt of confirmations relating to CanAdelaar’s licenses and Bibob review (a background check conducted by Dutch authorities), the accuracy of representations and warranties, and the absence of certain regulatory orders. There can be no assurance that these closing conditions will be satisfied in a timely manner or at all. Failure to obtain required approvals or meet closing conditions could delay or prevent completion of the transaction, increase costs, or require us to modify or abandon the planned acquisition.
If the transaction does not close, we may not realize the anticipated strategic benefits associated with establishing a licensed production presence in the Netherlands. Additionally, we may suffer other consequences that could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and stock price, including an inability to benefit from or recover acquisition costs, negative publicity, and reputational damage. Even if completed, the transaction will require significant integration efforts, including integrating operations, technology, compliance systems, and personnel structures. Integration challenges could require greater-than-expected resources, divert significant management attention, or reduce the strategic benefits we expect to achieve. Further, the contingent consideration structure of the transaction may also give rise to future obligations based on CanAdelaar’s operating performance following closing. Any failure to close the transaction or to integrate CanAdelaar effectively could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
CanAdelaar has operated independently prior to the acquisition, and we may not identify all costs, liabilities, or operational challenges associated with CanAdelaar prior to completing the transaction. Following the acquisition, we may incur unanticipated expenses. In addition, assumptions made in evaluating the acquisition, including estimates of costs, synergies, operational efficiencies, or future performance, may prove to be inaccurate. Actual results may differ materially from our expectations due to factors beyond our control, including changes in market conditions, regulatory requirements, supplier or customer relationships, or the condition of the acquired business’s assets and operations.
In the second quarter of 2021, we wrote off all of the goodwill and substantially all of the indefinite-lived intangible assets recognized upon the acquisition of our former U.S. operating subsidiaries, in the second quarter of 2023, we announced plans to cease our U.S. hemp operations and in the first quarter of 2024, the Company ceased operations at the Cronos Fermentation Facility. Acquisitions of companies or equity interests of companies operating in new markets are risky and speculative and may not produce the anticipated revenues and profits.
Our acquisition of the PharmaCann Option (the “PharmaCann Investment”) presents significant risks. For example, in the second quarter of 2024, we reduced the net book value of the PharmaCann Option to zero. For more information on risks associated with the PharmaCann Investment, see “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Growth Strategy—Our U.S. strategy in part depends on the success of the PharmaCann Investment and there is no guarantee that we will exercise the PharmaCann Option in the near term, or at all, and, even if exercised, that the PharmaCann Investment will achieve the expected benefits of the transaction.”
We have had twomultiple restatements and seven material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting overin the last six years.past. We have experienced significant turnover, both voluntary and involuntary, in our accounting and financial reporting functions, as well as in our internal audit function. If we are unable to create and maintain an appropriate control environment, our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and reputation will be adversely affected.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) and for evaluating and reporting on the effectiveness of our system of internal control. Effective internal control is necessary for us to provide timely, reliable and accurate financial reports, identify and proactively correct any deficiencies, material weaknesses or fraud and meet our reporting obligations. Our financial reporting processes also rely in part on third-party information technology systems and service providers, including systems used for accounting, consolidation and reporting. Disruptions, failures, delays, or deficiencies in these systems or in the performance of third-party service providers could impair our ability to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting or timely prepare and file our financial statements.
We have had multiple restatements and material weaknesses in the past and significant turnover, both voluntary and involuntary, in our accounting, financial reporting and internal audit functions. Remediation efforts placed a significant burden on management and added increased pressure on our financial reporting resources and processes.

Remediation efforts placed a significant burden on management and added increased pressure on our financial reporting resources and processes. The accuracy of our financial reporting and our ability to timely file with the SEC and the applicable securities regulatory authorities in Canada have in the past been, and may in the future be, adversely impacted if any additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting are identified.

As of the date of our settlement with the SEC (the “SEC Order”), October 24, 2022, and for a period of three years thereafter, we are unable to rely on the safe harbor provisions regarding forward-looking statements provided by the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Our inability to rely on these safe harbor provisions may expose us to increased future litigation in connection with forward-looking statements in our public disclosures.
Further, asAs of the date of our settlement with the SEC Order, we have lost our status as a(the “well-knownSEC seasonedOrder”), issuer”October 24, 2022, and for a period of threefive years,years which places limitations on the manner in which we can market our securities to the public, andthereafter, we are unable to rely on the private offering exemptions provided by Regulations A and D under the Securities Act for a period of five years,Act, which could impair our ability to raise additional capital in the private market quickly in response to changing requirements and market conditions.
There can be no assurance that our current and future strategic alliances or expansions of scope of existing relationships will have a beneficial impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We currently have, and may in the future enter into additional,into, strategic alliances with third parties that we believe will complement or augment our existing business. Our ability to complete strategic alliances is dependent upon, and may be limited by, the availability of suitable candidates and capital. In addition, strategic alliances could present unforeseen integration or operational obstacles or costs, could lead to or exacerbate product or supply shortages that could impact other markets in which we operate, may not enhance our business and may involve risks that could adversely affect us, including significant amounts of management time that may be diverted from operations in order to pursue and complete such transactions or maintain such strategic alliances. Future strategic alliances could result in the incurrence of debt, costs and contingent liabilities, and there can be no assurance that future strategic alliances will achieve, or that our existing strategic alliances will achieve,achieve the expected benefits to our business or that we will be able to consummate future strategic alliances on satisfactory terms,terms or at all. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In the case of the Ginkgo Strategic Partnership, we have, pursuant to the Ginkgo Collaboration Agreement, the exclusive right to use and commercialize the key patented intellectual property related to the production of the target cannabinoids globally (referred to herein as the “Ginkgo Exclusive Licenses”). We have determined, and may determine in the future, that the production of certain cannabinoids is not economically feasible and in our best interests, and we have abandoned production efforts at the Cronos Fermentation Facility. Even if we are able to commercialize cultured cannabinoids in the future, we may not be able to generate satisfactory returns on them or on the products that incorporate them, and there may not be demand for such cultured cannabinoid products. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that Ginkgo will be able to develop microorganisms that we will be able to commercialize or to obtain patents relating to production of the target cannabinoids, or that third parties will not develop similar microorganisms or obtain patents that may restrict our ability to commercialize the microorganisms developed by Ginkgo, and, as a result, there can be no assurance that we would be able to realize the expected benefits of or continue the Ginkgo Strategic Partnership.
In addition, pursuant to the Ginkgo Collaboration Agreement, if we undergo a change of control that is approved by the Board, Ginkgo may elect to receive cash payments, which, given the number of Equity Milestone Events (as defined in the Ginkgo Collaboration Agreement) that have occurred to date, could total up to $15.8 million, in lieu of the common shares that would otherwise become issuable in connection with any Equity Milestone Events achieved following such election (the “Milestone Cash Election”). If we undergo a change in control that has not been approved by the Board, then Ginkgo will have the ability to terminate the Ginkgo Collaboration Agreement immediately, in which case, among other things: (i) all rights or licenses granted to us by Ginkgo under the Ginkgo Collaboration Agreement will terminate; (ii) certain expenses and costs incurred by Ginkgo will be accelerated and become due and payable by us; (iii) the then-outstanding and unpaid portion of all cash payments from us to Ginkgo for the achievement of R&D milestones by Ginkgo shall be due immediately as if all R&D milestones had been achieved; and (iv) a lump sum cash payment equal to the aggregate of all Milestone Cash Election amounts in respect of which the relevant Equity Milestone Events have not yet been achieved will be immediately due and payable by us. In addition, should Ginkgo terminate the Ginkgo Collaboration Agreement upon a change of control, we will no longer be able to use or commercialize the key patented intellectual property related to the production of the target cannabinoids, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. See “Description of Business—Research and Development Activities and Intellectual Property.”
If additional equity milestones occur under the Ginkgo Collaboration Agreement, we are required by accounting rules to conduct an impairment analysis related to the new Ginkgo Exclusive Licenses. These analyses have in the past and may in the future, result in impairment charges. For a discussion of our most recent impairments of the Ginkgo Exclusive Licenses, see Note 8 “Goodwill and Intangible Assets, net” to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report.
Under the Cronos GrowCo Supply Agreement, which governs our commercial arrangement with Cronos GrowCo, our option to purchase cannabis biomass from Cronos GrowCo is subject to fixed pricing. In the event of a decline in theIf wholesale market priceprices of cannabis biomass,decline, we may choose not to exercise our option to purchase biomass from Cronos GrowCo at the fixed prices setand forthinstead in the Cronos GrowCo Supply Agreement. Instead, we may attemptseek to purchase such biomass at the prevailing market price from Cronos GrowCo or third parties. IfHowever, if we declinedo tonot exercise our option to purchase biomass from Cronos GrowCo,option, Cronos GrowCo would be under no obligation to sell to us at such lower market prices.prices, Additionally, if we attempt to purchase biomass from third parties,and there can be no assurance that wethird-party suppliers will be able to doprovide sobiomass on a consistent basis or in the quantities, strains, grades and qualities we require. Similarly, if wholesale cannabis prices increase materially, our fixed-price purchasing arrangement with Cronos GrowCo may negatively impact the results of its operations, create economic misalignment between Cronos and Cronos GrowCo, and adversely affect long-term supply availability, reliability, and our consolidated financial results. As a result, wholesale price volatility could adversely affect our cost structure, supply reliability, and results of operations.
We are anticipating further shortages in raw materials and may be unable to obtain adequate supplies of raw materials in a timely manner and at commercially reasonable prices.
Our production operations require that we obtain adequate supplies of raw materials, particularly biomass, on a timely basis, at commercially reasonable prices and in the quantities, strains, grades and qualities that we require. From time to time, including presently,time there have been shortages of raw materials. Industry-wide shortages in the supply of raw materials could result in industry-wide raw material price adjustments and shortages.
Cronos GrowCo’s production facilities are our principal source of raw materials. Therefore, our production operations are reliant on our ability to acquire such raw materials from Cronos GrowCo on a timely, cost-effective basis and in the quantities, strains, grades and qualities we require. If Cronos GrowCo is unable to meet our needs for raw materials (includingon bya nottimely, producingcost-effective basis and in the quantities, strains, grades and qualities of biomass that we anticipaterequire in(which ourmay forecasts, as well as being unable to meet demand in excess of our previousexceed forecasts), we may be, and have in the past been, required to source additional supply from third parties.parties, and we may not be able to do so on a timely basis at commercially reasonable prices or in the quantities, strains, grades and qualities we require.
We may not be able to find third-party suppliers capable of supplying raw materials on a timely basis at commercially reasonable prices or in the quantities, strains, grades and qualities we require. If we are unable to secure the necessary raw materials,materials we require, we may experience product shortages and delays, we may be unable to launch new productsproducts, and we may be required to discontinue certain products,products. whichAny couldsuch have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Product shortages, discontinuations or delaysdisruptions could result in customers listing fewer ofproduct ourlistings, products, our failure to maintain or growimpact our market shareshare, and cause reputational damage, which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects.
Our option to purchase a significant portion of Cronos GrowCo’s production could strain Cronos GrowCo’s ability to develop, maintain and grow profitable relationships with third partythird-party customers.
Under the Cronos GrowCo Supply Agreement, we have the option to purchase a significant portion of Cronos GrowCo’s production. There can be no assurance that Cronos GrowCo will be able to sell its remaining production to third parties at commercially viable prices or on commercially viable terms. Likewise, volatility in the exercise of Cronos’ option could negatively impact Cronos GrowCo’s ability to forecast the portion or quantity of its production available for sale to third parties, which could negatively impact Cronos GrowCo’s ability to develop, maintain and grow profitable relationships with third partythird-party customers. To the extent Cronos GrowCo encounters difficulty in selling its remaining production capacity to third parties, Cronos GrowCo’s results of operations may be significantly and adversely affected, which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Cronos GrowCo’s production facilities are our principal source of raw materials. In addition to various termination rights under the Cronos GrowCo Supply Agreement, following an initial four-year term, the Cronos GrowCo Supply Agreement is subject to automatic renewal for successive one-year periods unless either party provides notice of non-renewal. In the event of non-renewal or termination of the Cronos GrowCo Supply Agreement, we would be required to source cannabis biomass from third parties or negotiate a new supply agreement with Cronos GrowCo, and we may not be able to do so on a timely basis at commercially reasonable prices or in the quantitiesquantities, strains, grades and qualities we require.

We may not successfully execute or sustain our production capacity strategy.
Our production capacity strategy depends on our ability to efficiently operate, optimize, expand and maintain production at our facilities and joint ventures, including the Peace Naturals Campus, the Cronos Israel facility at Kibbutz Gan Shmuel and the Cronos GrowCo Facility. Although certain expansion initiatives have been completed, including expansion of the Cronos GrowCo Facility, there can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve or sustain the expected levels of output, quality, efficiency, or cost structure from these operations.
Continuing operations at these facilities is subject to maintaining the appropriate licenses from the relevant regulatory authorities in those jurisdictions, including Health Canada. Any failure to maintain required licenses or comply with applicable regulatory requirements could disrupt operations or limit production capacity or actual production.
We may not be successful in executing our strategy to expand production capacity at certain of our facilities (including the Peace Naturals Campus) and joint ventures. Continuing and expanding operations at our facilities and joint ventures will be subject to obtaining and maintaining the appropriate licenses from the relevant regulatory agencies in those jurisdictions. In particular, continuing and expanding operations at Cronos GrowCo’s production facilities will be subject to obtaining and maintaining the appropriate licenses from Health Canada. Construction delays or cost over-runs in respect of such operations, howsoever caused, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. There is no guarantee that Cronos GrowCo’s expansion strategy (including receiving such required Health Canada or other regulatory approvals, licenses and permits in a timely fashion, if at all) will be completed in the currently proposed form, or at all, or that Cronos GrowCo will be able to maintain its margins and efficiency as it expands.
Cronos GrowCo’s ability to continue the cultivation of cannabis biomassoperate at its current rateproduction or at all,levels and itsoptimize abilityoutput, to increase its cultivation capacitymargins and production,efficiency includingfollowing in connection with the construction of its Phase 2 Expansion Area,expansion may be affected by a number of factors, including plantregulatory design errors, non-performance by third party contractors, increases in material orrequirements, labor costs, cost overruns, construction delaysavailability and challenges, performance falling below expected levels of output or efficiency,costs, weather conditions, contractoroperational or operator errors or disruption, breakdowns,errors, aging or failure of equipment or processes,processes and labor disputes, as well as factors specifically related to indoor agricultural and processing practices, such as reliance on provision of energy and utilities to the facility.facility, Suchand other factors beyond our control. These factors may alsoadversely affect Cronosyields, GrowCo’squality, costoperating ofcosts, cultivationor andsupply production.reliability.
Moreover, as a result of changes in the nature of our operations at the Peace Naturals Campus, the continued operations of the Cronos GrowCo Facility has become more important to us. The Cronos GrowCo Facility is our principal source of raw materials.
In addition, weour ability to realize the benefits of our production capacity strategy may not be successfulaffected inby obtainingour ability to obtain the necessary approvals required to export or import our products to or from the jurisdictions in which we or our joint ventures operate. If we are unable to secure necessary productionapprovals licensesor in respect ofpermits, our facilities and those of our joint ventures, the expectations of management with respect to the increased future cultivation and growingproduction capacity strategy may not be borne out,realized, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
As a result of our decision to cease operations at the Cronos Fermentation Facility, weWe no longer have the internal capacity to produce rare cannabinoids through the fermentation process developed with Ginkgo. To the extentAs we continue to utilize rare cannabinoids in our products, we mayare beengaged required to engage third-party suppliers and we may not be able to findwith third-party suppliers capable of producing rare cannabinoids at commercially viable prices or in the quantities we require. If we are unable to secure the necessary rare cannabinoids,cannabinoids from third-party suppliers, we may experience product shortages and delays and we may be unable to launch new products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
There can be no assurance that therecent Realignment, the modification of our operations at the Peace Naturals Campus, the exit of our U.S. operations, the cessation of operations at the Cronos Fermentation Facilityoperational and thestrategic Cronos GrowCo Transactioninitiatives will have a beneficial impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The timing, costs and benefits thereof cannot be guaranteed.
We have implemented a series of significant operational and strategic changes in recent years, including our Realignment of functions and cost structure, changes to the nature of our operations at the Peace Naturals Campus, the exit of our U.S. operations, the cessation of our fermentation operations and sale of our fermentation and manufacturing facility in Winnipeg, Manitoba (the “Cronos Fermentation Facility”), and the Cronos GrowCo Transaction.
In the first quarter of 2022, we announced our Realignment to centralize functions under common leadership to increase efficient distribution of resources, improve strategic alignment and eliminate duplication of roles and costs; evaluate our global supply chain and perform product reviews and pricing and distribution optimization in order to reduce fixed expenses and reduce complexity; and implement an operating expense target to optimize cash deployment for activities such as margin accretive innovation and U.S. adult-use cannabis market entry in the future. Additionally, we announced a plan to leverage our strategic partnerships to improve supply chain efficiencies and reduce manufacturing overhead by partially exiting the Peace Naturals Campus. The sale and leaseback of the Peace Naturals Campus was ultimately terminated pursuant to its terms during the second quarter of 2024; we plan to continue and expand operations at the Peace Naturals Campus.
In the second quarter of 2023, we announced the exit of our U.S. operations. In the third quarter of 2023, we announced the cessation of operations at the Cronos Fermentation Facility and our intention to list the Cronos Fermentation Facility for sale. During the first quarter of 2024, we ceased operations at the Cronos Fermentation Facility. There can be no assurance that we will be able to sell the Cronos Fermentation Facility within an acceptable time frame or for an acceptable price.
In the second quarter of 2024, we announced the Cronos GrowCo Transaction. There can be no assurance that the Cronos GrowCo Transaction, including the expansion of Cronos GrowCo’s purpose-built cultivation and processing facilities, will be completed in an acceptable time frame or at a reasonable cost, nor that it will improve the cultivation operations, capacity and efficiency of Cronos GrowCo.
There can be no assurance that these initiatives will achieve the expected benefits toon oura businesstimely basis or reduce costs or grow our revenue as intended and, if achieved at all, the timing thereof.all. The execution and implementation of these initiatives involve risk, including that significant amounts of management’s time and Company resources could be diverted from our core operations inand order to complete such initiatives.

Cronos is an innovative global cannabinoid company committed to building disruptive intellectual property by advancing cannabis research, technology and product development. With a passion to responsibly elevate the consumer experience, Cronos is building an iconic brand portfolio. Cronos’ diverse international brand portfolio includes Spinach®, PEACE NATURALS®, LIT™ and Lord Jones®.
Unless otherwise noted or the context indicates otherwise, references in this Annual Report to the “CompanyCompany,”, “CronosCronos,”, “wewe,”, “usus,” and “our” refer to Cronos Group Inc., its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries and, if applicable, its joint ventures and investments accounted for by the equity method; the term “cannabis” means the plant of any species or subspecies of genus Cannabis and any part of that plant, including all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers; the term “U.S. hemp” has the meaning given to the term “hemp” in the U.S. Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018, including hemp-derived cannabidiol (“CBD”).
Business Segment
Cronos reports through one consolidated segment, which includes operations in both Canada and Israel. In Canada, Cronos operates one wholly-owned license holder under the Cannabis Act (Canada) (the “Cannabis Act”), Peace Naturals Project Inc. (“Peace Naturals”), which has production facilities near Stayner, Ontario (the “Peace Naturals Campus”). On July 1, 2024, the Company obtained majority control of the board of directors of Cronos Growing Company Inc. (“Cronos GrowCo”), a license holder under the Cannabis Act, which qualified as a business combination under ASC 805 (the “Cronos GrowCo Transaction”). As a result, the Company now consolidates the results of operations of Cronos GrowCo in its consolidated financial statements. Cronos maintains its 50% equity interest in Cronos GrowCo. In Israel, the Company operates under the IMC-GAP, IMC-GMP and IMC-GDP certifications required for the cultivation, production, distribution and marketing of medical cannabis products in Israel.
Discontinued Operations
In the second quarter of 2023, Cronos exited its U.S. hemp-derived cannabinoid product operations. The exit of the U.S. operations represented a strategic shift that had a major effect on Cronos’ operations and financial results, and as such, qualified for reporting as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). Prior period amounts have been reclassified to reflect the discontinued operations classification of the U.S. operations. For further detail on the discontinuation of the U.S. operations, see Note 3 “Discontinued Operations” to the consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Annual Report.
CanAdelaar Acquisition
On December 9, 2025, we entered into a definitive share sale and purchase agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of CanAdelaar B.V. (“CanAdelaar”), one of ten licensed cannabis producers in the Dutch Controlled Cannabis Supply Chain Experiment. Closing of the proposed acquisition is subject to certain closing conditions, including obtaining required regulatory clearances in the Netherlands, receipt of confirmations relating to CanAdelaar’s licenses and Bibob review (a background check conducted by Dutch authorities), the accuracy of representations and warranties, and the absence of certain regulatory orders.
Cronos GrowCo Expansion
The expansion of the facility at Cronos Growing Company Inc. (“Cronos GrowCo”) is complete and sales from the expansion commenced in Fall 2025. Under the terms of our amended and restated supply agreement with Cronos GrowCo (the “Cronos GrowCo Supply Agreement”), Cronos has the option to purchase up to 70% of the total production from the expanded facility. Cronos GrowCo sells the remaining portion of its supply through the wholesale channel in Canada and across markets internationally. The Company believes this additional supply will fuel growth internationally and within the domestic Canadian market and the wholesale market in 2026. As with any cultivation expansion, it typically takes time to fully optimize the new facility.
U.S. Federal Cannabis Rescheduling
In December 2025, President Trump issued an executive order (the “Executive Order”) directing the U.S. Attorney General to expedite the completion of the administrative process to reschedule marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III under the U.S. Controlled Substances Act (the “CSA”). The Executive Order followed the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ August 2023 recommendation to reschedule marijuana and the DEA’s May 2024 notice of proposed rulemaking agreeing with that recommendation. Prior to the Executive Order, the rescheduling process had experienced procedural delays, including a hearing before a DEA administrative law judge and subsequent developments that slowed progress on the rulemaking.
The Executive Order does not itself change the legal status of marijuana under U.S. federal law. Any rescheduling would require the completion of the DEA’s administrative rulemaking process and could be subject to further procedural steps and legal challenges.
The Company continues to monitor developments related to U.S. federal cannabis policy, including the DEA’s rulemaking process and related legislative and regulatory activity, and will evaluate any potential implications for its business as additional information becomes available.
Sale of Cronos Fermentation Facility
In September 2025, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell our fermentation and manufacturing facility in Winnipeg, Manitoba (the “Cronos Fermentation Facility”) for a purchase price of CAD $4.0 million, subject to customary adjustments. The sale, which closed on November 15, 2025, included the land, buildings and related chattels associated with the facility.
Termination of Ginkgo Collaboration Agreement
On December 15, 2025, Cronos and Ginkgo Bioworks Holdings, Inc. (“Ginkgo”) mutually terminated their collaboration and license agreement (the “Ginkgo Collaboration Agreement”). As a result of the termination, all rights and licenses granted to Cronos under the Ginkgo Collaboration Agreement, including licenses to Ginkgo intellectual property and collaboration strains, terminated as of that date, and neither party has any continuing obligations thereunder.
Ginkgo paid Cronos nominal consideration for the termination of the licenses to the Ginkgo intellectual property and the collaboration strains. No payments or equity issuances were required by Cronos in connection with the termination, and Cronos has no further rights or obligations with respect to any patent families previously associated with the collaboration. In connection with the termination, Cronos exited fermentation-based cannabinoid manufacturing and no longer operates facilities leveraging intellectual property under the Ginkgo Collaboration Agreement.
Brand and Product Portfolio
In 2024, our growth efforts in Canada were focused on expanding our consumer base by launching innovative products in the edible, vape and pre-roll categories, while maintaining popular flower offerings. Our growth efforts in Israel were focused on refining the PEACE NATURALS® brand portfolio and pricing strategy with cultivars that meet the needs of its patient base. Our international growth efforts have focused on the same high-quality products and genetics that propelled Cronos to become one of the leaders in flower sales in Canada in 2024.

Cronos’ cannabis cultivar breeding program and extensive portfolio of premium genetics have been instrumental in driving sustained growth. The brand expanded its offerings in 2024 with the introduction of Spinach Grindz™, its entry into the milled flower category, a growing and promising market segment.
In 2024, Cronos launched the new SOURZ by Spinach® Fully Blasted gummy line. The launch of these 10mg THC per piece gummies marked a significant milestone for the Company and was followed by an expansion into additional flavors and cannabinoid combinations. Incremental growth in the edibles category was achieved through renovated rare cannabinoid-focused 5-packs, the introduction of the SOURZ by Spinach® CBD Berry Variety Pack, a CBD-only multi-flavor pack, and its first-ever limited-edition Caramel Green Apple flavor.
In 2024, Cronos introduced two new Spinach® all-in-one vapes, Pineapple Paradise and Blueberry Dynamite. We also introduced new Pink Lemonade and Rocket Icicle 0.5g all-in-one Spinach HITZ™, alongside line extensions in Spinach® 1.2g vapes. Vape production was brought in-house in the second half of 2024 in an effort to improve profitability and enhance production efficiency in this category.
In 2024, the Spinach® Fully Charged Multi-Pack pre-rolls, the brand’s first multi-pack, introduced a new area of growth within the infused pre-rolls category.
In the first quarter of 2025, the brand launched a Lord Jones® Chocolate Fusions™ fudge brownie bite in Canada, which features a 1:1:1 ratio of CBN, CBD and THC.
The brand also expanded its presence in concentrates in Canada with the introduction of Lord Jones® Live Resin Caviar in the second quarter of 2025, reinforcing its positioning as a high‑quality, innovation‑driven brand.

Germany
Throughout 2024, the Company continued its sales to the German market through the PEACE NATURALS® brand.

Global Supply Chain and Operations
Cronos GrowCo Transaction
On June 20, 2024, Cronos announced an investment in its then equity method investee, Cronos GrowCo, through a secured non-revolving credit facility to expand Cronos GrowCo’s purpose-built cannabis facility and address the growing global demand for high-quality cannabis flower. This expansion aims to bolster Cronos’ supply capabilities and support future growth opportunities. The Cronos GrowCo Transaction and resulting facility expansion efforts are intended to enable Cronos to increase supply of Cronos’ portfolio of genetics, as well as expand Cronos’ international footprint with distribution to growing markets in Australia, Germany and the UK.
The expansion efforts at Cronos GrowCo’s facility are underway. In the fourth quarter of 2024, Health Canada approved amendments to the site’s perimeter. Cronos GrowCo expects to finish construction of the expanded cultivation and processing facilities in the second quarter of 2025, with the first harvests and sales for the area expected to commence in the second half of 2025. Prior to the commencement of sales from the expanded facility, Cronos has the option to purchase up to 80% of Cronos GrowCo’s total production. Once sales from the expanded area begin, Cronos will have the option to purchase up to 70% of the total production from the expanded facility. Cronos GrowCo sells the remaining portion of its supply through the wholesale channel in Canada and across markets internationally. The expansion of Cronos GrowCo is expected to position the Company to capitalize on domestic demand and meet international growth opportunities in the global cannabis market.
Peace Naturals Campus
On November 26, 2023, the Company announced that Peace Naturals had entered into an agreement to sell and lease back the Peace Naturals Campus. However, the agreement was terminated pursuant to its terms in the second quarter of 2024, and the Company has decided to continue and expand operations at the site. As part of expanding operations, in the second half of 2024, the Company invested in machinery, automation and process improvement to drive cost efficiency within the facility. This included investment in warehousing and vault expansion as well as R&D equipment and laboratory enhancements.
Cronos Fermentation Facility
In August 2023, Cronos announced the wind-down of Thanos Holdings Ltd., known as Cronos Fermentation (“Cronos Fermentation”)and listed the facility for sale. Operations ceased in the first quarter of 2024, with all associated licenses revoked and the assets reclassified as held-for-sale. During the third quarter of 2024, Cronos adjusted its sales strategy for the assets to market them to a broader buyer pool, resulting in the recognition of a loss on held-for-sale assets.
For 2024,2025, we reported consolidated net revenue of $117.6$146.6 million, representing a $30.4$29.0 million increase from 2023.2024. This change was primarily due to higher cannabis flower sales in Israel and other countries, which carry no excise taxes, the inclusion of a full year of Cronos GrowCo sales in the current period, and higher cannabis extract sales in the Canadian marketmarket, andpartially higheroffset by a decrease in cannabis flower sales in Israelthe andCanadian othermarket countries.due to supply constraints. Due to the consolidation of Cronos GrowCo’s results of operations in our financial statements beginning July 1, 2024, Cronos GrowCo contributed $10.3 million of cannabis flower sales to third parties in the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $6.4 million of cannabis flower sales to third parties in the year ended December 31, 2024. No such sales were recognized for the year ended December 31, 2023.
For 2024,2025, we reported consolidated cost of sales of $91.7$83.2 million, representing a $17.2$8.5 million increasedecrease from 2023.2024.

Anti-Dumping Matters in Israel
In June 2026, the Trade Levies Commissioner of the Israel Ministry of Economy and Industry announced the opening of a new investigation into alleged dumping of medical cannabis imports from Canada. This announcement followed the 2024 investigation by the Commissioner, which did not result in the imposition of an anti-dumping duty. On July 28, 2026, the Commissioner terminated the investigation on procedural grounds. The termination was not based on a substantive determination of the merits and did not preclude another complaint or a new investigation.
On July 30, 2026, a new complaint concerning imports of medical cannabis from Canada was filed on behalf of the Israeli domestic industry. On August 2, 2026, the Commissioner notified the Government of Canada that the new complaint contained sufficient prima facie evidence of dumping, material injury to the domestic industry and a causal link between the alleged dumping and injury. On August 5, 2026, the Commissioner notified the Company of the initiation of a new investigation. The Company disputes the allegations underlying these matters and cannot predict the timing or outcome of the new investigation or any related proceeding, or whether any provisional or final anti-dumping duty or other import restriction will ultimately be imposed.
For the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we reported consolidated net revenue of $45.2$53.0 million, representing an increase of $12.9$19.6 million from the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025. TheFor the six months ended June 30, 2026, we reported consolidated net revenue of $98.2 million, representing an increase of $32.5 million from the six months ended June 30, 2025. For both the three and six month comparative periods, the increase was primarily due to higher cannabis flower sales in Israel and other countries, specifically Germany, which carry no excise taxes, and higher cannabis extractflower and flowerextract sales in the Canadian market. In addition, net revenue for both comparative periods benefited from the strengthening of the New Israeli Shekel versus the U.S. dollar in the current period.
For the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we reported consolidated cost of sales of $25.4$24.2 million, representing an increase of $6.9$5.3 million from the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025.

For both the three and six month comparative periods, the increase was primarily due to higher sales volumes in the period. For the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025, we recognized $0.5 million of inventory step-up from the Cronos GrowCo Transaction into cost of sales. No such costs were recognized for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025 or the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.
For the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we reported inventory write-downwrite-downs of $0.7$0.4 million, representing an increase of $0.7$0.3 million from the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025. TheFor currentthe yearsix months ended June 30, 2026, we reported inventory write-downs of $1.1 million, representing an increase of $1.0 million from the six months ended June 30, 2025.

For both the three and six month comparative periods, the increase was primarily due to higher average sales prices, largely driven by a mix shift to Israel and other countries, which carry no excise taxes, and higher sales volumes. Higher sales volumes led to higher net revenue and efficiencies as fixed overhead costs were spread over greater volumes. For the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025, gross profit was reduced by $0.5 million as a result of the impact of the inventory step-up from the Cronos GrowCo Transaction that was recorded into cost of sales. No such costs were recognized for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025 or the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

For the three month comparative period, the increase was primarily due to higher transaction costs related to the pending CanAdelaar acquisition and higher professional fees, partially offset by the recovery of previously assessed excise tax stamp penalties as well as lower anti-dumping and restatement litigation costs. For the six month comparative period, the increase was primarily due to higher transaction costs related to the pending CanAdelaar acquisition, higher salaries and benefits, and higher professional fees, partially offset by the recovery of excise tax stamp penalties as well as lower anti-dumping costs and restatement litigation costs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, general and administrative expenses were $11.7 million, representing an increase of $2.4 million from the three months ended March 31, 2025.

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have presented constant currency adjusted financial measures for net revenue, gross profit, gross profit margin, operating expenses, net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, as well as cash and cash equivalents andequivalents, short-term investment and non-current interest-bearing deposit balances as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025, which are considered non-GAAP financial measures. We present constant currency information to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying operations performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. To present this information, current and comparative prior period income statement results in currencies other than U.S. dollars are converted into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates from the three and six month comparative periodperiods in 2025, rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the respective current period; constant currency current and prior comparative balance sheet information is translated at the prior year-end spot rate rather than the current period spot rate. All growth comparisons relate to the corresponding period in 2025. We have provided this non-GAAP financial information to aid investors in better understanding the performance of our operations. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Quarterly Report should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
