• Non-Reliance on Financial Statements

  The company's audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal years ended March 31, 2024, and March 31, 2025, and several unaudited interim periods, should no longer be relied upon.

• Reason for Restatement

  The non-reliance is due to non-cash technical errors in accounting related to the classification of certain share-settled warrants as equity instead of liabilities.

• Material Weakness in Internal Controls

  Management expects to report a material weakness in the company's internal control over financial reporting.

• Restatement Plan

  The company intends to restate the affected financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, expected to be filed on June 15, 2026.

Canopy Growth announced that its financial statements for fiscal years 2024 and 2025, along with several interim periods, can no longer be relied upon due to technical accounting errors related to the classification of share-settled warrants. The company expects to report a material weakness in internal controls and will restate these financials in its upcoming 10-K. While the company states these are non-cash adjustments not impacting revenue, cash flows, liquidity, or debt covenants, the inability to rely on past financial reports and the disclosure of a material weakness are significant concerns for investors regarding financial transparency and control. The voluntary application for a management cease trade order further underscores the seriousness of the situation.
