  For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, net loss from continuing operations improved to $(105.8) million from $(382.6) million year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA loss also narrowed to $(13.8) million from $(14.3) million.

• Significant Increase in Cash and Reduced Debt

  Cash and cash equivalents surged to $371.3 million as of December 31, 2025, from $113.8 million on March 31, 2025. Total debt decreased to $225.0 million from $304.1 million over the same period.

• New Dilutive Financing Secured

  Subsequent to the quarter, on January 8, 2026, the company secured a new US$150 million senior secured term loan (US$162.115 million aggregate principal) and issued 18,705,578 common share purchase warrants. Proceeds were used to repay the outstanding Credit Facility. Additionally, a debt exchange involved issuing $55 million in new convertible debentures, 12,731,481 warrants, and 9,493,670 common shares.

• Key US Cannabis Investment in Default

  Acreage Holdings, a significant U.S. cannabis investment, is currently in default under its Third ARCA debt agreement. Canopy Growth's approximately US$121.5 million investment in Acreage and Wana debt is subordinate to another lender's US$79.0 million, putting a substantial portion of the investment at risk.

auto_awesomeAnalysis

Canopy Growth's latest 10-Q reveals a mixed but highly material financial picture. While the company significantly reduced its net loss and Adjusted EBITDA loss year-over-year, and substantially increased its cash position, these improvements come at a cost. The company secured new dilutive financing, including a US$150 million senior secured term loan with warrants and a debt exchange involving new convertible debentures, additional warrants, and common shares. Critically, a key U.S. cannabis investment, Acreage Holdings, is in default, placing a substantial portion of Canopy Growth's investment at risk. Investors should weigh the improved liquidity and reduced losses against the ongoing dilution and the significant risk posed by the Acreage default.
