Canada's Aurora Cannabis Q4 revenue beats estimates
Overview
Canada medical cannabis producer's Q4 revenue rose 10% yr/yr, beating analyst expectations
Q4 adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income both declined from prior year period
Company completed Safari Flower acquisition in April to expand EU-GMP manufacturing capacity
Outlook
Aurora expects fiscal 2027 total net revenue to decline, aligning with fiscal 2025 cannabis net revenue
Company sees fiscal 2027 adjusted gross margin before FV adjustments in the mid to high fifties
Aurora expects lower annual adjusted EBITDA in fiscal 2027, with quarter-to-quarter variability
Result Drivers
MEDICAL CANNABIS GROWTH - Q4 revenue increase was mainly due to 14% growth in global medical cannabis, led by higher sales in Germany, Poland, and to insured patients in Canada
MARGIN PRESSURE - Adjusted gross margin declined due to higher sales with lower margins and strategic price reductions in medical cannabis
CONSUMER CANNABIS EXIT - Consumer cannabis revenue fell as company continued winding down this segment to focus on medical markets
