RE:Cash Burn????Well Newbie, good to see you rise to the challenge of doing a thoughtful post. Again, it doesn't matter whether I agree with it or not (and I don't). Your effort is appreciated and good food for thought. Do you see how this works Clowns? Add something of value, and you will garner respect.
Newbie, back to you:
By your own math: If some of the $700million cash burn was Supreme/Wanna, $385million, that still leaves Canopy burning through over $300Million/quarter.
1) How much value do the revenue streams from from these purchases add to the company's bottom line? And they are STILL losing over $300/million/quarter??
2) Do you think there are additional writedowns coming and/or additional sales of assets for pennies on the dollar, due to overcapacity?
3) What do you think of Canopy's massive rebranding effort under the banner of "Do what makes you feel good". Brilliance or pancake?
4) What do you think of Canopy firing senior key management, and STILL haven't replaced them? Canary in the coal mine?
5) What do you think of Canopy, and then also OCS pulling sku's because they just don't sell.
6) What do you think of the CFO coming out and saying they really don't know if Canada will be profitable.
7) How do you think Canopy's mistiming/overestimating of U.S. legalization, perhaps by years, will afect their viability?
8) Back to Supreme/Wana, and I'll use an analogy here. If your credit cards are maxed, and your home value is vastly overstated, is it really a good thing to go on a spending spree?

Cash P o s i t io n :
Cash and Short-term investments amounted to $1.4 billion at December 31, 2021, representing a decrease of $0.9 billion from $2.3 billion at March 31, 2021 reflecting EBITDA losses, capital investments and the upfront payment made as consideration for the option to acquire Wana Brands upon federal permissibility of THC in the U.S.
From Q1 2022 to Q3 2022 Canopy's Cash Position decreased from. 2.1 billion to 1.4 billion. A difference of 700 million. Where did this money go? Look no further than the wana and Supreme purchases.
-297 million for wana brands - 84 million Cash + shares for supreme
Without these 2 purchases, Canopy would still have close to 1.8 billion in cash. This is all while rapidly building out the US platform.
Instead we have 1.4 billion in Cash and the number one Position in premium flower in Canada thanks to Supreme and the number 1 edibles brand in North America.
Would you rather Canopy have 1.8 billion in the bank or 1.4 billion in the bank along with Supreme and Wana in the stable?
I'll take the 1.4 billion plus the brands every day of the week.
There will be very little cash burn in Q4. Starsearchers incompetence will be laid bare for all to see. His August bankruptcy Call and his Cash raise predictions will be shown to be nothing more than complete lunacy.
Look for a really strong Q4 barring any surprise acquisitions.
Whenever someone starts using numbers always look what is behind the numbers. Statistics and numbers are a liars best friend if presented to an unmotivated audience.
There's your red nose starsearcher. Your outfit is now complete but you will never be Clown enough to join our club.
Clown car ++++++++++ out!
