Q: Luc, you mentioned supply chain challenges impacting international markets. What changes are needed to reopen the pipeline, and will the solution be more costly than previous products in the German market? A: Luc Mongeau, CEO: We are retooling our route to market to satisfy European demand from our Canadian GMP facilities. We do not foresee increased costs for the flower supplied to Europe, and we expect stronger performance as we exit the fiscal year. This is about execution with existing assets, and we are closely managing the situation.

Q: Tom, the ATM was used aggressively in Q2. Can you discuss the decision to use it now and how we should think about future issuance? A: Thomas Stewart, CFO: We continuously evaluate our capital requirements and funding strategies. The ATM program provides optionality, but it wouldn't be appropriate to speculate on its future use. We are acting prudently with the proceeds.

Q: Regarding international supply, do you need to increase vertical integration to meet demand, or is there still opportunity to find quality third-party products? A: Luc Mongeau, CEO: Challenges arose from flower sourced in Portugal. We are now focusing on supplying from our Canadian GMP facilities, which have sufficient capacity. We are not ruling out third-party flower in the future but are currently retooling with our own grown flower.

Q: Can you provide updates on profitability and key levers for achieving positive EBITDA? A: Thomas Stewart, CFO: We are focused on cost savings and improving adjusted EBITDA performance. While it's too early to specify a timeline, this quarter was our strongest yet, and we are committed to achieving positive adjusted EBITDA.

Q: What are your capital allocation priorities now that you have reduced debt and are in a net cash position? A: Thomas Stewart, CFO: With $300 million in cash and no near-term debt obligations, we have flexibility for evaluating capital structure and investment opportunities. We aim to remain resilient and focus on stabilizing the company while exploring accretive options.
