CBD products from Manitoba Harvest and beer from SweetWater are the only items available in the United States.

  • Inorganic Endeavors: TLRY announced the strategic acquisition of Breckenridge Distillery, a leading distilled spirits platform in Breckenridge, Colorado, on December 08, 2021. The transaction is expected to be immediately accretive to TLRY's EBITDA. Breckenridge and TLRY's existing SweetWater brands have many potentials to complement one other, boosting their respective reach and creating more lucrative growth in the beverage alcohol category, according to TLRY.
  • Launch of Oral Strips: TLRY stated on December 2, 2021, that Aphria, its medical subsidiary, has introduced medicinal cannabis oral strips in THC and CBD-rich variations. Each Aphria medical strip comprises a thin, edible film containing rapidly dissolving, micronized cannabinoids entering the bloodstream, giving patients a fast-acting and precise dosing experience for various disorders.

Q1FY22 Results:

Key Risks:

  • Customer Concentration Risk: A significant amount of TLRY's revenue comes from major clients. Its revenue could drop dramatically if it fails to retain or increase its client connections or if key consumers lower their purchases.
  • Dependence on Third Parties: TLRY relies heavily on producing and selling approved and certified cannabis flowers. It may need to rely on third-party suppliers for high-grade cannabis flowers, which might raise expenses and expose the company to unstable supply chains and product quality.
