Net loss attributable to common shareholders widened to C$1.29 billion or C$1.18 per share in the second quarter from C$237.75 million or C$0.25 per share in the same period of last year.

Net revenues increased 3% year-over-year to C$56.03 million in the second quarter but declined 26% sequentially. Net cannabis revenue, excluding provisions, was C$63.2 million, which is in line with the management’s guidance. Consumer cannabis revenue dropped by 24% sequentially to C$23 million.

“As announced last week, being a profitable cannabis company for our investors is the singular near-term focus for Aurora and we have begun to implement a business transformation plan where we intend to manage the business with a high degree of fiscal discipline,” said Michael Singer.

During the second quarter, the company produced 30,691 kg of cannabis, down 26% from the preceding quarter. At C$0.88, the cash cost to produce per gram of cannabis remained broadly unchanged quarter-over-quarter. Meanwhile, the average net selling price dropped to C$5.54 per gram from C$5.68 per gram in the previous quarter.

Outlook

The management reaffirmed its third-quarter outlook for cannabis revenue, excluding provisions, at C$65 million, which is broadly unchanged from the second-quarter levels. The moderate outlook reflects the potential impact of industry headwinds on the top-line.

Reorganization

The company is in the midst of an extensive reorganization, which included the recent departure of chief executive officer Terry Booth. Currently, efforts are on to reduce costs by streamlining operations and reducing the workforce.
