Risks

- Delays in EU-GMP certification audit and paperwork, which could impact international exports.
- Supply chain challenges in international markets, such as delays in supplying product to Sanity Group in Germany due to ramp-up time.
Q&A highlights
Q: Could you provide more color on when EU-GMP certification is expected and how capacity will be allocated between domestic and international once approved?
A: EU-GMP ready since earlier this year, awaiting German regulator audit (expected in fall), paperwork to take couple months, prioritizes international sales for higher margin then protects domestic branded sales.
Q: Can you comment on Sanity Group's growth in Germany and where the growth is coming from?
A: Sanity has seen business double since April 1, but challenge is volume to supply market as product takes 5 months from planting to harvest; excited about opportunity as Sanity has more initiatives.
Q: How does seed-based production impact margins and yield?
A: Seed-based production has shorter cycle time (70 days vs 100 days for clone-based), more turns in facility; auto flower seeds have less plant care required, leading to labor savings and margin improvement.
Q: Comment on pricing environment in Canada and market evolution?
A: Flower pricing has stabilized and picked up, seen in B2B sales and large format sales; mix issue causes average price flatness, but like-to-like on 28 gram format shows pricing pickup; edible segment facing price compression but nanoemulsion gummies expected to help differentiate.
