EDMONTON, AB, Aug. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Aurora Cannabis Inc. (the "Company" or "Aurora") (NASDAQ: ACB) (TSX: ACB), a leading Canada-based global medical cannabis company, today announced its financial and operational results for the first quarter fiscal 2025.
"This was a milestone quarter for Aurora, as we delivered strong net revenue1 growth, a substantial increase in adjusted EBITDA1, and positive free cash flow1. Our impressive performance was driven by record net revenue1 in the rapidly growing global medical cannabis segment, and we look forward to building on our achievements in key markets such as Germany, Australia, and the UK throughout fiscal 2025 and beyond. The quarter was further supported by a record contribution from our Bevo plant propagation business, underscoring the strength of our diversified business model," said Chief Executive Officer Miguel Martin.
"The progress we made during the quarter sets a strong foundation for the rest of the fiscal year, and with our continued commitment to operational excellence and strategic growth, we are well-positioned to sustain this positive momentum. Our growth in global medical, the highest margin cannabis segment, alongside our strong balance sheet and ongoing fiscal discipline, are pivotal as we build on our achievement with respect to positive free cash flow," Mr. Martin concluded.

First Quarter 2025 Highlights
(Unless otherwise stated, comparisons are made between fiscal Q1 2025, Q4 2024, and Q1 2024 results and are in Canadian dollars)
Consolidated Revenue and Adjusted Gross Profit:
Total net revenue1 was $83.4 million, as compared to $74.7 million in the prior year period. The 12% increase from the prior period was mainly due to 13% growth in our global medical cannabis business and 16% growth in our plant propagation business, slightly offset by lower quarterly revenue in our consumer cannabis.
Consolidated adjusted gross margin before fair value adjustments1 was 43% in Q1 2025 and 44% in the prior year quarter. Adjusted gross profit before FV adjustments1 was $36.0 million in Q1 2025 vs $32.6 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of 10%.
Medical Cannabis:
Medical cannabis net revenue1 was $47.2 million, a 13% increase from the prior year quarter, delivering 57% of Aurora's Q1 2025 consolidated net revenue1 and 91% of adjusted gross profit before fair value adjustments1.
The increase in net revenue1 of $5.6 million was primarily due to higher sales to Australia and a steady increase in sales in Canada to insurance covered patients and larger basket sizes.
Adjusted gross margin before fair value adjustments1 on medical cannabis net revenue reached 69% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 61% in the prior year quarter. Our target range is 60% and above. The adjusted gross margins before fair value adjustments improved through sustainable cost reductions, higher selling prices in Australia, and improved efficiency in production operations, including sourcing for Europe from Canada due to the closure of the Aurora Nordic production facility.
Consumer Cannabis:
Aurora's consumer cannabis net revenue1 was $11.5 million, a 10% decrease compared to $12.8 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was due to our decision to prioritize the supply of our GMP manufactured products to our high margin international business rather than the consumer business, which offers lower margins.
Adjusted gross margin before fair value adjustments1 on consumer cannabis net revenue1 was 24%, decreasing from 26% compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease from the prior year comparative quarter is largely due to higher margin product sales.
Plant Propagation:
Plant propagation net revenue1 was wholly comprised of the Bevo business, and contributed $23.1 million of net revenue1, a 16% increase compared to $19.9 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was a result of organic growth and increased product offerings. Historically, approximately 65-75% of plant propagation revenue and up to 80% of EBITDA has been earned in the first half of the calendar year.
Adjusted gross margin before fair value adjustments1 on plant propagation revenue was 18% for Q1 2025 and 22% for the prior year quarter. The fluctuations in the plant propagation adjusted gross margin before fair value adjustments is due to changes in product mix and a prolonged Spring season in the current quarter.
Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A"):
Adjusted SG&A1 was $31.4 million in Q1 2025, which excludes $4.9 million of business transformation costs. Adjusted SG&A1 is likely to remain above our previous target of $30 million due to the incremental SG&A following the acquisition of MedReleaf Australia.
Adjusted R&D1, was $1.0 million in Q1 2025, which is relatively consistent as compared to the prior year quarter at $1.1 million. Our investment in R&D and product innovation is partly opportunistic, as such these costs will vary quarter over quarter and year over year.
Net Income (Loss):
Net income from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $4.8 million compared to net loss of $20.2 million for the prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA:
Adjusted EBITDA1 increased 87%to $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $2.6 million for the prior year quarter.
Fiscal Q2 2025 Expectations:
We expect to see continued strong net revenue and adjusted gross margins across our cannabis business, supported by net revenue1 growth in Europe and Australia.
For plant propagation, we expect to see seasonally reduced revenues and gross profit in Q2 2025 that will be in line with historical performance as 25% – 35% of revenues are normally earned in the second half of a calendar year.
Positive adjusted EBITDA is expected to continue while free cash flow is anticipated to be negatively impacted by several significant annual and one-time cash payments that typically occur in Q2 2025.
