The strong trends towards cannabis legalization and broader consumer reach in our three key markets – Canada, International and the U.S. – would grow
stronger;
|
• |
A management team with a track record of building and sustaining value in the CPG wellness space was well positioned to help grow a new
leader in the cannabis sector; and
|
• |
A combination of well-defined organic growth initiatives combined with acquisitions and partnerships would afford us a unique opportunity to expand our business globally and grow into the unquestioned industry leader, with $4B in revenue by the end of our fiscal year 2024.
|
• |
The industry’s broadest geographic footprint and operational scale - Tilray now possesses the geographic footprint and operational scale to
emerge as a consolidator in the global cannabis market.
|
• |
Leadership position in Canada, with a complete portfolio of product offerings and carefully curated brands - We plan to grow and strengthen our
position as the #1 Canadian LP in total sales on a consolidated basis. This is the foundation that will be so essential to getting us from our current combined retail market share in Canada of 16% to our goal of 30% share by fiscal year
2024.
|
• |
Tremendous international growth opportunities from a strong base - The European Union, where we already have a very meaningful presence,
represents a powerful growth market, and could be a $1 billion business for us in medical use alone. We will also be ready for adult-use legalization when the time comes. Our presence in the EU also allows us to grow our brands globally
from a base of 600 million people in the EU (nearly twice the population of the U.S.).
|
• |
A leading U.S. CPG platform to be immediately leveraged for cannabis products upon federal legalization - In the U.S., we already have a
strong consumer packaged goods presence and infrastructure with two strategic pillars, SweetWater, the 11th largest craft brewer in the nation and leading
lifestyle brand, and Manitoba Harvest, a pioneer in branded hemp, CBD and wellness products, with access to 17,000 stores in North America. Together, they are already $100-plus million businesses and quite profitable – but still have
enormous potential. .
|
• |
Accretive acquisitions and other growth opportunities - The investment we recently made in the outstanding senior secured convertible notes
of MedMen Enterprises Inc. (CSE: MMEN) (OTCQX: MMNFF), is a critical step towards delivering on our objective as we work to enable Tilray to lead the U.S. market when legalization allows. MedMen is a premier American cannabis retailer and
one of the most recognized brands in the $80 billion U.S. cannabis market with 21 cannabis licenses across key states.
