Q: Can you discuss the allocation of cannabis products internationally and its impact on market share in Canada?

A: Irwin Simon, CEO, stated that the company aims to expand distribution beyond the current 1,000 points and is implementing marketing programs to educate consumers about hemp-derived drinks. The goal is to make this a multimillion-dollar business with strong margins.
Q: What contributed to the 800 basis points increase in cannabis gross margins? A: Carl Merton, CFO, attributed the margin expansion primarily to a favorable product mix, including a strategic focus on higher-margin international markets and careful participation in the vape and infused pre-roll segments.
Q: How is Tilray managing potential cost increases in the beverage segment, particularly with aluminum prices? A: Irwin Simon, CEO, mentioned that while aluminum costs could rise, the company has contracts in place and is working to offset potential increases through cost savings and efficiencies in other areas.
Q: What is the outlook for the international cannabis market, particularly in Germany and Poland?
