Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization were a negative C$68 million vs. a negative C$97 million a year ago.
Sales, however, rose 23% to a record C$153 million, driven by an increase in Canadian recreational and international medical cannabis sales as well as stronger sales of vaporizers, and health and wellness products, the company said.

However, ongoing cost savings as well as top-line growth and continued cost discipline, "… puts Canopy firmly on a path to achieve profitability during fiscal 2022, with further improvement anticipated beyond," Chief Financial Officer Mike Lee said in the statement.
