In Fiscal 2024, the Company achieved remarkable growth across its businesses, with a 26% increase in net revenue over the prior year, record-breaking performance in gross profit and adjusted EBITDA, and generated positive adjusted free cash flow for the fiscal year. We have also significantly reduced our net convertible debt by ~$300 million and surpassed our cost-savings synergy target, which has strengthened our balance sheet. These results were driven by our successful execution of our diversification strategy, which we started in 2020, and the hard work of our team.”
Mr. Simon continued, “Tilray Brands also successfully completed three acquisitions – the eight iconic craft brands from Anheuser-Busch Companies, LLC., HEXO Corp., and Truss Beverage Co. These acquisitions were strategic in fortifying Tilray’s house of brands, strengthening our operations, and positioning the Company as a leader across several industries and regions. In the U.S., Tilray Beverages is the 5th1 largest craft brewer and Tilray Wellness is the leader in hemp products. In Canada, Tilray Cannabis holds the #1 recreational cannabis market share, while in Europe, it is the market leader in medical cannabis. Leading the convergence of cannabis, beverages, and wellness, Tilray Brands is poised to continue to disrupt the CPG industry globally.”
