Canopy Growth Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results; Delivers Q4 FY2026 Net Revenue Growth of 27% in Canada Medical and 68% in International Markets Cannabis

Balance sheet repair and MTL integration buy time, but margin compression and cash burn keep profitability distant.

Executive Summary
  • Q4 FY2026 net revenue of $71.2M CAD (+10% YoY) and full-year FY2026 net revenue of $284.6M CAD (+6% YoY).
  • Canada medical cannabis delivered strong Q4 growth of 27% YoY; international markets surged 68% YoY in Q4 after resolving European supply chain constraints.
  • Completed the acquisition of MTL Cannabis, positioning the company as Canada’s leading medical cannabis provider by revenue.
  • Strategic recapitalization in January 2026 flipped the balance sheet from $172.6M net debt to $131.3M net cash.
  • Reported gross margin contracted to 12% in Q4 (vs 16% in Q4 FY2025) and 24% for FY2026 (vs 30% in FY2025). Adjusted gross margin improved to 27% in Q4 and 28% for FY2026.
  • $10.7M in inventory charges incurred in Q4, primarily from a post-MTL acquisition inventory review.
  • $67.1M in impairment and restructuring costs recorded in FY2026, mainly for goodwill/brand impairments and employee restructuring.
  • Net loss narrowed 21% YoY in Q4 and 49% YoY in FY2026.
  • Adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed 32% YoY in Q4 to $6.3M; full-year loss narrowed 14% to $20.2M.
  • Free cash flow outflow improved significantly to $69.1M from $176.6M in FY2025.
  • FY2027 Outlook targets net revenue growth, meaningful gross margin improvements, reduced operating expenses, and positive Adjusted EBITDA.
Material Impact
  • The news is Routine - Positive. The results reflect a continued "reset" narrative: revenue growth in core segments, balance sheet repair, and a clear path to positive Adj EBITDA in FY2027. However, the underlying fundamentals remain challenged: reported gross margins are compressed (12%), cash burn persists (FCF outflow $69.1M), and integration costs are still weighing on results. The stock's 6.6% decline into the print indicates the market had already priced in a soft quarter. There is no genuinely new, market-repricing catalyst here; it is a steady execution of the turnaround plan.
