TILRAY, INC. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands of United States dollars, except for per share data)
1. Description of Business and Summary
Tilray, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively “Tilray”, the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”), is a global medical cannabis research, cultivation, processing and distribution organization, and is one of the leading suppliers of adult-use cannabis in Canada. The Company also markets and distributes food products from hemp seed and offers a broad range of natural and organic hemp based food products and ingredients that are sold through retailers and websites globally.
Prior to January 2018, the Company operated its business under Decatur Holdings, B.V. (“Decatur”), which was formed in March 2016. Decatur was incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands on March 8, 2016 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Privateer Holdings, Inc. (“Privateer Holdings”). On January 25, 2018, Privateer Holdings transferred the equity interest in Decatur to Tilray. Decatur was subsequently dissolved on December 27, 2018. The transfers of the equity interests were between entities under common control and were recorded at their carrying amounts. The consolidated financial statements of the Company (“the financial statements”) are prepared, on a continuity of interest basis, reflecting the historical financial information of Decatur prior to January 25, 2018.
On December 15, 2020, we entered into an Arrangement Agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement” with Aphria Inc. (“Aphria”), pursuant to which Tilray will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Aphria pursuant to a plan of arrangement (the “Plan of Arrangement”) under the Business Corporations Act (the “Arrangement”). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, each outstanding common share of Aphria outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Arrangement will be transferred to Tilray in exchange for 0.8381 of a share (of Tilray Class 2 common stock). The Agreements have not been finalized and as such, the financial statements do not reflect the effect of the transaction.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts of the Company. The financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and, accordingly, will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations as they come due.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 the Company reported a consolidated net loss of $271,073 and a consolidated net loss of $321,169 and $67,723 for the years ending December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company had cash flows used in operating activities of $129,351, $258,065 and $46,248, respectively. The Company had net cash inflows for the year ended December 31, 2020 of $92,911.
As at December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had working capital of $165,738 and $166,600 respectively, reflecting an increase in cash of $92,911, a reduction in payables of $32,232, and the addition of $120,647 in warrant liability for the year ending December 31, 2020.
Current management forecasts and related assumptions support the view that the Company can adequately manage the operational needs of the business with the current cash on hand for the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements.
These financial statements reflect all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

The entities listed above are wholly owned by the Company and have been formed or acquired to support the intended operations of the Company and all intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the financial statements of the Company.
The financial statements also include variable interest entities (“VIE”). A VIE is a legal entity that does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, is structured such that equity investors lack the ability to make significant decisions relating to the entity’s operations through voting rights, or do not substantively participate in the gains and losses of the entity. Upon inception of a contractual agreement, the Company performs an assessment to determine whether the arrangement contains a variable interest in a legal entity and whether that legal entity is a VIE. The primary beneficiary has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Where the Company concludes it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company consolidates the accounts of that VIE. When the Company is not the primary beneficiary, the VIE is accounted for using the equity method and is included in equity method investments on the balance sheets. At December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no consolidated VIEs. Refer to Note 7 for the Company’s VIEs accounted for using the equity method.
The Company regularly reviews and reconsiders previous conclusions regarding whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The Company also reviews and reconsiders previous conclusions regarding whether the Company holds a variable interest in a potential VIE, the status of an entity as a VIE, and whether the Company is required to consolidate such a VIE in the financial statements when a change occurs.

New accounting pronouncements recently adopted
Allowance for credit losses
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standard Board, (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This guidance was subsequently amended by ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements, ASU 201904, Codification Improvements, ASU 2019-05, Targeted Transition Relief, ASU 2019-10, Effective Dates, and ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements. These ASUs are referred to collectively as the new guidance on current expected credit loss (“CECL”). As a result of the adoption of the new CECL guidance on January 1, 2020, the Company has changed its accounting policy for the allowance for credit losses, as it relates to accounts receivable and available-for-sale debt securities. The adoption of the CECL guidance did not have a material impact on the financial statements at January 1, 2020.
Disclosure framework – fair value measurement
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 removes (a) the prior requirement to disclose the amount and reason for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy contained in ASC Topic 820, (b) the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and (c) the valuation process used for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 also adds, among other items, a requirement to disclose the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 effective January 1, 2020 and such adoption did not have a material effect on its financial statements.
Use of estimates and significant judgments
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities, accompanying disclosures and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. These estimates and judgments are subject to change based on experience and new information which could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities affecting future periods. Estimates and judgments are assessed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognized prospectively.
Examples of key estimates in these financial statements include the value of Class 2 common shares with transfer restrictions, asset impairment including the impact of COVID-19 on estimated future cash flows and fair values, imputed interest for loans receivable, the allowance for credit losses, provisions for prepayments and other current assets, inventory valuation adjustments that contemplate the market value of, and demand for inventory, estimated useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, valuation allowance on deferred income tax assets, determining the fair value of financial instruments, fair value of stock-based compensation, estimated variable consideration on contracts with customers, sales return estimates, the fair value of the convertible notes and equity component and the classification, the fair value of the warrant liability using a Monte Carlo pricing model, incremental borrowing rates and lease terms applicable to lease contracts.
Financial statement areas that require significant judgments are as follows:
Variable interest entities - The Company assesses all variable interests in entities and uses judgment when determining if the Company is the primary beneficiary. Other qualitative factors that are considered include decision-making responsibilities, the VIE capital structure, risk and rewards sharing, contractual agreements with the VIE, voting rights and the level of involvement of other parties.
Asset impairment – Asset impairment tests require the allocation of assets to asset groups, where appropriate, which requires significant judgment and interpretation with respect to the integration between the assets and shared resources. Asset impairment tests require the determination of whether there is an indication of impairment. The assessment of whether an indication of impairment exists is performed at the end of each reporting period and requires the application of judgment, historical experience, and external and internal sources of information.
Leases – The Company applies judgment in determining whether a contract contains a lease and if a lease is classified as an operating lease or a finance lease. The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable
87
term of the lease, which may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.
The Company has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. The Company applies judgment in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise either the renewal or termination. After the commencement date, the Company reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to renew or to terminate (e.g., construction of significant leasehold improvements or significant customization to the leased asset).
The Company also applies judgment in allocating the consideration in a contract between lease and nonlease components. It considers whether the Company can benefit from the right-of-use asset either on its own or together with other resources and whether the asset is highly dependent on or highly interrelated with another rightof-use asset.
Reclassifications
The Company reclassified previously disclosed amounts related to inventory valuation adjustments and stock-based compensation expenses to conform with the disclosures as of December 31, 2020.
Inventory valuation adjustments were previously disclosed as a separate component of cost of sales on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Net Loss and Comprehensive Loss. As of December 31, 2020, these amounts are included under the caption of cost of sales.

Stock-based compensation expenses was previously presented as a separate line item in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Net Loss and Comprehensive Loss. As of December 31, 2020, the Company includes its stock-based compensation expense under the respective caption in financial statements where compensation paid to the same employees is recorded. These reclassifications are summarized as follows:
| Year Ended December 31, | |
|---|---|
| 2019 2018 |
|
| General and administrative expenses | $ 26,499 $ 18,926 |
| Sales and marketingexpenses | 2,729 462 |
| Research and development expenses | 2,614 1,600 |
The Consolidated Statements of Net Loss and Comprehensive Loss for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. Loss on disposal of property and equipment, formerly presented in other expenses (income) is now presented in general and administrative expenses.
Foreign currency
These financial statements are presented in the United States dollar (“USD”), which is the Company’s reporting currency. Functional currencies for the entities in these financial statements are their respective local currencies, including USD, Canadian dollar (“CAD”), Euro, Australian dollar, Chilean Peso, Great Britain Pound and Japanese Yen.
The assets and liabilities of each of the Company’s subsidiaries are translated to USD at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Certain transactions affecting the stockholders’ equity (deficit) are translated at historical foreign exchange rates. The consolidated statements of net loss and comprehensive loss and statements of cash flows are translated to USD by applying the average foreign exchange rate in effect during the reporting period. The resulting translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive loss.
The Company’s monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency by applying the foreign exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average foreign exchange rate in effect during the reporting period. Realized and unrealized foreign currency differences are recognized in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss.
88
Net loss per share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing reported net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reported period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock of the Company during the reporting period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares and the number of potential dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Potential dilutive common share equivalents consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of vested share options and the incremental shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes. Potential dilutive common share equivalents consist of stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and restricted stock awards.
In computing diluted earnings per share, common share equivalents are not considered in periods in which a net loss is reported, as the inclusion of the common share equivalents would be anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2020, there were 28,784,308 common share equivalents with potential dilutive impact (2019 – 10,532,988, 2018 – 7,902,263). Since the Company is in a net loss for all periods presented in these financial statements, there is no difference between the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share for the periods presented.
Business combinations and goodwill
The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, which requires recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent assets and liabilities, at their respective fair values on the date of acquisition. Any excess of the purchase consideration over the net fair value of tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. The costs of business acquisitions, including fees for accounting, legal, professional consulting and valuation specialists, are expensed as incurred within acquisition-related (income) expenses, net. Purchase price allocations may be preliminary and, during the measurement period not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, changes in assumptions and estimates that result in adjustments to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded in the period the adjustments are determined.
For business combinations achieved in stages, the Company’s previously held interest in the acquiree is remeasured at its acquisition date fair value, with the resulting gain or loss recorded in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss. For a pre-existing relationship between the Company and the acquiree that is not extinguished on the business combination, such a relationship is considered effectively settled as part of the business combination even if it is not legally cancelled. At the acquisition date, it becomes an intercompany relationship and is eliminated upon consolidation.
The estimated fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities are determined primarily using a discounted cash flow approach, with estimated cash flows discounted at a rate that the Company believes a market participant would determine to be commensurate with the inherent risks associated with the asset and related estimated cash flow streams. Contingent consideration in a business combination is remeasured at fair value each reporting period until the contingency is resolved and any change in fair value from either the passage of time or events occurring after the acquisition date, is recorded within acquisition-related (income) expenses, net on the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash with original maturities of three months or less.
Cash and cash equivalents include amounts held in USD, CAD, Euro, Australian dollar, Chilean Peso, Great Britain Pound, Japanese Yen, corporate bonds, commercial paper, treasury bills and money market funds.
Accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses
Accounts receivable – the Company maintains an allowance for credit losses at an amount sufficient to absorb losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio as of the reporting dates based on the projection of expected credit losses.
The Company applies the aging method to estimate the allowance for expected credit losses. The aging method is applied to accounts receivables at the business unit level to reflect shared risk characteristics, such as
89
receivable type, customer type and geographical location. The aging method assigns accounts receivables to a level of delinquency and applies loss rates to each class based on historical loss experience. The Company also considers relevant qualitative and quantitative factors to assess whether historical loss experience should be adjusted to better reflect the risk characteristics of the current classes and the expected future loss. This assessment incorporates all available information relevant to considering the collectability of its current classes, including considering economic and business conditions, default trends, changes in its class composition, among other internal and external factors. The expected credit loss estimates are adjusted for current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts.
As part of the Company’s analysis of expected credit losses, it may analyze contracts on an individual basis in situations where such accounts receivables exhibit unique risk characteristics and are not expected to experience similar losses to the rest of their class.
Available-for-sale debt securities – The Company assesses its available-for-sale debt securities for impairment at each measurement date. When the fair value is less than the amortized cost, the Company assesses whether it intends to sell the security. When it is assessed that the Company will sell the security or the Company will be required to sell before recovery, the difference between the fair value and amortized cost is recorded as an impairment of assets in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss. When the Company does not intend to sell and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell before recovery, the Company assesses whether a portion of the unrealized loss is a result of a credit loss. The Company recognizes the portion related to credit loss as credit loss expenses in general and administrative expenses within the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss and the portion of unrealized loss related to factors other than credit losses in other comprehensive loss. The Company determines the best estimate of the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the available-for-sale debt securities on an individual basis based on past events, current conditions and forecasts relevant to the individual securities.
Inventory
Inventory is comprised of raw materials, finished goods and work-in-progress. Cost includes expenditures directly related to the manufacturing process as well as suitable portions of related production overheads, based on normal operating capacity.
Cannabis: Inventory costs include pre-harvest, post-harvest, shipment and fulfillment, as well as costs related to accessories. Pre-harvest costs include labor and direct materials to grow cannabis, which includes water, electricity, nutrients, integrated pest management, growing supplies and allocated overhead. Post-harvest costs include costs associated with drying, trimming, blending, extracting, purifying, quality testing and allocated overhead. Shipment and fulfillment costs include the costs of packaging, labelling, courier services, allocated overhead, and excise taxes.
Hemp: Inventory cost includes seeds, packaging and co-packing. Seed costs include commodity cost paid to farmers, genetic seed cost to provide and manage contracted farmers, hulling and processing costs, including labor and overhead. Packaging costs include packaging materials, labor and overhead to run machinery. Co-packing cost are generally for products not manufactured by the Company directly and would include all costs to produce the products.
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, determined using weighted average cost. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. At the end of each reporting period, the Company performs an assessment of inventory and records write-downs for excess and obsolete inventories based on the Company’s estimated forecast of product demand, production requirements, market conditions, regulatory environment, and spoilage. Actual inventory losses may differ from management’s estimates and such differences could be material to the Company’s balance sheets, statements of net loss and comprehensive loss and statements of cash flows.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost net of accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful life of buildings ranges from twenty to twenty-five years and the estimated useful life of property and
90
equipment, other than buildings, ranges from three to fifteen years. Land is not depreciated. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the asset’s estimated useful life or the remaining lease term.
When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any related gain or loss is recognized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred. Significant expenditures, which extend the useful lives of assets or increase productivity, are capitalized. When significant parts of an item of property and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items or components of property and equipment.
Construction-in-process includes construction progress payments, deposits, engineering costs, interest expense on long-term construction projects and other costs directly related to the construction of the facilities. Expenditures are capitalized during the construction period and construction in progress is transferred to the relevant class of property and equipment when the assets are available for use, at which point the depreciation of the asset commences.
The estimated useful lives are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.
Interest incurred relating to the construction or expansion of facilities is capitalized to the construction in progress. The Company ceases the capitalization of interest when construction activities are substantially completed and the facility is available for commercial use.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets include intangible assets acquired as part of business combinations, asset acquisitions and other business transactions. The Company records intangible assets at cost, net of accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost is measured based on the fair values of cash consideration paid and equity interests issued. The cost of an intangible asset acquired is its acquisition date fair value.
The Company capitalizes certain internal-use software development costs, consisting primarily of contractor costs and employee salaries and benefits allocated to the software. Capitalization of costs incurred in connection with internally developed software commences when both the preliminary project stage is completed and management has authorized further funding for the project, based on a determination that it is probable the project will be completed and used to perform the function intended. Capitalization of costs ceases no later than the point at which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. All other costs are expensed as incurred. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over three years. Costs incurred for enhancements that are expected to result in additional functionalities are capitalized.
Amortization of definite life intangible assets is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
as follows: |
|
|---|---|
| Patents | 4 years |
| Customer relationships | 14 to 16 years |
| Developed technology | 10 years |
| Websites | 3 years |
| Definite life trademarks and licenses | Term of agreements |
When there is no foreseeable limit on the period of time over which an intangible asset is expected to contribute to the cash flows of the Company, an intangible asset is determined to have an indefinite life. Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortized, but tested for impairment annually or more frequently when indicators of impairment exist. If the carrying value of an individual indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, such individual indefinite-life intangible asset is impaired by the amount of the excess.
The estimated useful lives are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property and equipment and definite life intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. In order to determine if assets have been impaired, assets are grouped and tested at the lowest
91
level for which identifiable independent cash flows are available (“asset group”). An impairment loss is recognized when the sum of projected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset group. The measurement of the impairment loss to be recognized is based on the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the asset group. Fair value can be determined using a market approach, income approach or cost approach. The reversal of impairment losses is prohibited.
Impairment of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets
Goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when events or circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. As part of the impairment evaluation, the Company may elect to perform an assessment of qualitative factors. If this qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset or the reporting unit (for goodwill) is less than its carrying value, a quantitative impairment test to compare the fair value to the carrying value. An impairment charge is recorded if the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right‑ of‑ use (“ROU”) assets and accrued obligations under operating lease (current and noncurrent) in the balance sheets. Finance lease ROU assets are included in property and equipment, net and accrued obligations under finance lease (current and non-current) in the balance sheets.
ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets are classified as a finance lease or an operating lease. A finance lease is a lease in which 1) ownership of the property transfers to the lessee by the end of the lease term; 2) the lease grants the lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise; 3) the lease is for a major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset; 4) The present value of the sum of the lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the lessee that is not already included in the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value; or 5) the underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term. The Company classifies a lease as an operating lease when it does not meet any one of these criteria.
ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the incremental borrowing rate is used based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company uses the implicit rate when readily determinable. The ROU assets also include any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.
For finance leases, lease expenses are the sum of interest on the lease obligations and amortization of the ROU assets. ROU assets are amortized based on the lesser of the lease term and the useful life of the leased asset according to the property and equipment accounting policy. If ownership of the ROU assets transfers to the Company at the end of the lease term or if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, amortization is calculated using the estimated useful life of the leased asset, according to the property and equipment accounting policy. For operating leases, the lease expenses are generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and recorded to general and administrative expenses in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss.
The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient, for each class of underlying asset, except real estate leases, to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease components of the lessee’s contract and account for both components as a single lease component. Additionally, for certain equipment leases, the Company applies a portfolio approach to effectively account for the operating lease ROU assets and liabilities.
The Company has elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less that do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. Short-term leases include real estate and vehicles and are not significant in comparison to the Company’s overall lease portfolio. The Company continues to recognize the lease payments associated with these leases as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
92
Investments
Debt securities
Debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses during the year, net of the related tax effect, are excluded from income and reflected in other comprehensive income (loss), and the cumulative effect is reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity until realized. Debt securities are impaired when a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, the Company evaluates, among other factors, general market conditions, credit quality of debt instrument issuers, and the duration and extent to which the fair value is less than cost. Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded in the statements of net loss and a new cost basis for the investment is established. The Company also evaluates whether there is a plan to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery. If neither of the conditions exist, then only the portion of the impairment loss attributable to credit loss is recorded in the statements of net loss and the remaining amount is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss).
Equity investments
Investments in entities over which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest or significant influence are accounted for at fair value. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are measured at cost with adjustments for observable changes in price or impairments (referred to as the “measurement alternative”). In applying the measurement alternative, the Company performs a qualitative assessment on a quarterly basis and recognizes an impairment if there are sufficient indicators that the fair value of the equity investments are less than carrying values. Changes in value are recorded in other income, net.
Investments in entities over which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest but has significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method, with the Company’s share of earnings or losses reported in earnings or losses from equity method investments on the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss. Equity method investments are recorded at cost, plus the Company’s share of undistributed earnings or losses, and impairment, if any, within Equity method investments on the balance sheets.
The Company assesses investments in equity method investments if there is reason to believe an impairment may have occurred including, but not limited to, ongoing operating losses, projected decreases in earnings, increases in the weighted-average cost of capital, or significant business disruptions. The significant assumptions used to estimate fair value include revenue growth and profitability, capital spending, depreciation and taxes, foreign currency exchange rates, and discount rate. By their nature, these projections and assumptions are uncertain. If it is determined that the current fair value of an equity method investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, the Company will assess if the shortfall is of a temporary or permanent nature and write down the investment to its fair value if it is concluded the impairment is other than temporary.
Assets reclassified from held for sale to held and used
In May 2020, the Company announced its decision to close the High Park Gardens facility in response to its anticipated future product needs and the current economic climate. As a result, the Company adopted an accounting policy for assets held for sale. Assets held for sale are accounted for in accordance with applicable accounting guidance provided in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. The Company classifies its assets as held for sale if, among other criteria, the carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than continued use and a sale is considered probable and within one year. Assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of the carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Assets classified as held for sale are combined and presented separately from the other assets in the balance sheets.
In December 2020, upon the Company's determination to discontinue marketing certain assets held for sale, the assets no longer meet the held for sale criteria and are required to be reclassified as held and used at the lower of adjusted carrying value (carrying value of the assets prior to being classified as held for sale adjusted for any depreciation and/or amortization expense that would have been recognized had the assets been continuously classified as held and used) or the fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. If adjusted carrying value is determined to be lower, a catch-up adjustment for depreciation will be recorded. The depreciation and/or amortization expenses that would have been recognized had the assets been continuously classified as held and used
93
is included as a component of depreciation and amortization expenses in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss. If fair value is determined to be lower, the Company records a gain or loss included in impairment of assets in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss.
Fair value measurements
The carrying value of the Company’s accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. Debt securities classified as availablefor-sale are recorded at fair value based on publicly available market information or other estimates determined by management. Equity investments (excluding equity method investments) are recorded at fair value using quoted market prices or broker or dealer quotations, or using the measurement alternative for equity investments without readily determinable fair values. The fair value for equity investments measured using the measurement alternative is determined based on valuation techniques using the best information available, and may include quoted market prices, market comparables, and discounted cash flow projections. Contingent consideration is measured at fair value on a recurring basis based on discounted cash flow projections.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.
Convertible notes
The Company accounts for its convertible notes with a cash conversion feature in accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (“ASC 470-20”), which requires the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion, including partial cash settlement, to be separately accounted for in a manner that reflects the issuer’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. The initial proceeds from the sale of convertible notes are allocated between a liability component and an equity component in a manner that reflects interest expense at the rate of similar nonconvertible debt that could have been issued at such time. The equity component represents the excess initial proceeds received over the fair value of the liability component of the notes as of the date of issuance. The resulting debt discount is amortized over the period during which the convertible notes are expected to be outstanding as additional non-cash interest expenses.
Upon repurchase of convertible debt instruments, ASC 470-20 requires the issuer to allocate total settlement consideration, inclusive of transaction costs, amongst the liability and equity components of the instrument based on the fair value of the liability component immediately prior to repurchase. The difference between the settlement consideration allocated to the liability component and the net carrying value of the liability component, including unamortized debt issuance costs, would be recognized as gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss. The remaining settlement consideration allocated to the equity component would be recognized as a reduction of additional paid-in capital in the balance sheets.
Warrants
In March 2020, the Company closed on a registered offering including Class 2 common stock, warrants, and pre-funded warrants (refer to Note 16). Warrants are accounted for in accordance with applicable accounting guidance provided in ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (“ASC 815”), as either liabilities or as equity instruments depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement. The Company's warrants are classified as liabilities and are recorded at fair value. The warrants are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date until settlement and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of change in fair value of warrant liability in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss. Transaction costs allocated to warrants that are presented as a liability are expensed immediately within other expenses (income) in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services, through performance obligations by the Company, is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for the performance obligations.
94
The Company generates substantially all of its revenue from the sale of cannabis and hemp products through contracts with customers. Cannabis and hemp products are sold through various distribution channels. Revenue is recognized when the control of the goods is transferred to the customer, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon delivery to or receipt by the customer, depending on shipping terms.
Sales taxes collected from customers are remitted to the appropriate taxing jurisdictions and are excluded from sales revenue as the Company considers itself a pass-through conduit for collecting and remitting sales taxes. Excise duties that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer are included in revenue. Freight revenues on all product sales, when applicable, are also recognized, on a consistent manner, at a point in time. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant and the period between when the entity transfers the promised good or service to the customer and when the customer pays for that good or service is one year or less.
The Company considers whether there are other promises in the contracts that are separate performance obligations to which a portion of the transaction price needs to be allocated. In determining the transaction price for the sale of goods, the Company considers the effects of variable consideration and the existence of significant financing components (if any).
Some contracts for the sale of goods may provide customers with a right of return, volume discount, bonuses for volume/quality achievement, or sales allowance. In addition, the Company may provide in certain circumstances, a retrospective price reduction to a customer based primarily on inventory movement. These items give rise to variable consideration. The Company uses the expected value method to estimate the variable consideration because this method best predicts the amount of variable consideration to which the Company will be entitled. The Company uses historical evidence, current information and forecasts to estimate the variable consideration. The requirements in ASC 606 on constraining estimates of variable consideration are applied to determine the amount of variable consideration that can be included in the transaction price. The Company reduces revenue and recognizes a contract liability equal to the amount expected to be refunded to the customer in the form of a future rebate or credit for a retrospective price reduction, representing its obligation to return the customer’s consideration. The estimate is updated at each reporting period date.
The Company may receive short-term advances from its customers. Using the practical expedient in ASC 606, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised good to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less. The Company has not, nor expects to receive long-term advances from customers.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales represents costs directly related to manufacturing and distribution of the Company’s products. Primary costs include raw materials, packaging, direct labor, overhead, shipping and handling, the depreciation of manufacturing equipment and production facilities, and excise taxes and tarrifs. Manufacturing overhead and related expenses include salaries, wages, employee benefits, utilities, maintenance and property taxes. Cost of sales also includes inventory valuation adjustments. The Company recognizes the cost of sales as the associated revenues are recognized.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses are comprised primarily of (i) personnel related costs such as salaries, benefits, annual employee bonus expense and stock-based ‘compensation costs for personnel in corporate, finance, legal, and other administrative positions; (ii) legal, accounting and other professional fees; (iii) corporate insurance and other facilities costs associated with our corporate and administrative locations; depreciation and amortization expenses associated with our corporate assets, and (iv) severance and other costs associated with headcount reductions.
Sales and marketing expenses
Sales and marketing expenses are comprised primarily of (i) personnel related costs such as salaries, benefits, annual employee bonus expense and stock-based compensation costs for personnel in sales and marketing, (ii) commissions paid to our third-party workforce, and (iii) marketing and advertising expenses. Advertising costs
95
are expensed as incurred and were $2,384, $3,563 and $618 the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses are comprised primarily of costs for personnel, including salaries, benefits, employee bonus, stock-based compensation; clinical study costs; contracted research; consulting services; materials and supplies; milestones; an allocation of our occupancy costs; and other expenses incurred to sustain our overall research and development programs.
Stock-based compensation
The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for stock options and RSUs to employees and non-employees on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based on their grant date fair values. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The fair value of RSUs is based on the share price as at date of grant. For stock options and RSUs granted in 2018, prior to the Company’s initial public offering, the fair value of common stock at the date of grant was determined by the Board of Directors with assistance from third-party valuation specialists. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises these estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
For performance-based stock options and RSUs, the Company records compensation expense over the estimated service period adjusted for a probability factor of achieving the performance-based milestones. At each reporting date, the Company assesses the probability factor and records compensation expense accordingly, net of estimated forfeitures.
Fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments issued to parties other than employees are measured on the date they are issued where there is no specific performance required by the grantee to retain those equity instruments. Stock-based payment transactions with non-employees are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Where fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments are granted to parties other than employees in exchange for notes or financing receivable, the note or receivable is presented in additional paid-in capital on the balance sheets.
Income taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Management makes an assessment of the likelihood that the resulting deferred tax assets will be realized. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The Company recognizes uncertain income tax positions at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which judgment occurs.

3. Assets Reclassified from Held for Sale to Held and Used
On May 26, 2020, the Company announced its decision to close its High Park Gardens Facility, a whollyowned subsidiary of the Company based in Leamington, Ontario in response to its anticipated future product needs and the current economic climate. At that time, the Company concluded that the assets attributable to High Park Gardens met the criteria for classification as assets held for sale and that the closure did not represent a strategic shift that would have a major impact on the Company’s business plan or its primary markets, and therefore did not qualify as a discontinued operation.
As a result of the Company’s decision to close this facility, the Company recognized impairment charges of $25,051 recorded to impairment of assets within the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss to adjust the fair value, less costs to sell, of the assets classified as held for sale. This included impairment charges of $13,616 relating to land and buildings, $10,239 relating to the write-down to nil of its cultivation license (refer to Note 11) and $1,196 relating to foreign currency translation adjustments.
On December 16, 2020, the Company made a decision to discontinue marketing the High Park Gardens Facility and to retain the disposal group for future operations. The Company reclassified the assets to held and used measured at fair value in the Company’s cannabis segment. When the Company reclassified the assets of the High Park Gardens facility to held and used, the Company recognized additional impairment charges of $2,875 relating to land and buildings recorded to impairment of assets within the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss to adjust to the fair values of the respective assets.
No assets were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019.
4. ABG Profit Participation Arrangement

Equity method investments
On December 31, 2018, the Company entered into a joint venture with Anheuser-Busch InBev (“AB InBev”) to research and develop non-alcohol beverages containing cannabis. Under the terms of the arrangement, the Company and AB InBev each have 50% ownership and 50% voting interest in the Plain Vanilla Research Limited Partnership (“Fluent”), headquartered in Canada. The Company has determined that Fluent is a VIE, but the Company is not the primary beneficiary as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. Accordingly, the Company does not consolidate the financial statements of Fluent and accounts for this investment using the equity method of accounting. At the date of initial investment there was no difference in the carrying value of the investment and the proportional interest in the underlying equity in the net assets of Fluent. At December 31, 2020 the maximum exposure to loss is limited to the Company’s equity investment in the joint venture.

In connection with the Company’s closure of its High Park Gardens facility, the Company determined that the fair value of the indefinite-lived cultivation license was below carrying value. As a result, the Company incurred non-cash impairment charges of $10,239, representing the full net book value of the cultivation license, presented in impairment of assets in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss (refer to Note 3).
In connection with the decreased demand projections of CBD products in the United States resulting in a reduced estimate of future cash flows, during the first quarter of 2020 the Company determined that the fair value of indefinite-lived rights under the ABG Profit Participation Arrangement and definite-lived trademarks under the Trademark and License Agreement with ABG for the use of the Prince trademark (“ABG Prince Agreement”) were below the carrying value. As a result, the Company incurred non-cash impairment charges of $16,765 and $6,063 representing the full net book values of the intangible assets relating to the ABG Profit Participation Agreement and ABG Prince Agreement respectively, presented in impairment of assets in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss (refer to Note 4). In June 2020, the Company completed the separation from Smith & Sinclair and recognized additional non-cash impairment charges of $3,320 presented in impairment of assets in the statement of net loss and comprehensive loss, of which $2,126 related to other CBD trademarks and patents.
Amortization expenses for intangibles was $11,002, $9,824, and $374 in 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. Expected future amortization expenses for intangible assets as of December 31, 2020 are as follows: 2021 – $10,222; 2022 – $9,744; 2023 - $9,500; 2024 - $9,493, 2025 – $9,469; and thereafter – $81,427.
12. Goodwill
The following table shows the change in carrying amount of goodwill:
| Hemp | Cannabis | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goodwill - January1,2020 | $ 133,314 | $ 29,937 | $ 163,251 |
| Foreign currencytranslation adjustment | 3,018 | 646 | 3,664 |
| Goodwill - December 31, 2020 | $ 136,332 | $ 30,583 | $ 166,915 |
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when events or circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. At December 31, 2020, the Company determined the hemp reporting unit, representing $136,332 of the $166,915 total goodwill, was at risk of having a carrying value exceeding the fair value. As a result, a quantitative test was performed to determine if impairment exists. In performing the Company’s impairment analysis at December 31, 2020, the fair value of the hemp reporting unit was determined primarily by discounting estimated future cash flow, which were determined based on revenue and expense growth assumptions ranging from 16% to 40%, at a weighted average cost of capital (discount rate) ranging from 10% to 12%. The discounted future cash flow model also makes the key assumption that CBD revenue will commence to build in the third quarter of 2021. The fair value of the hemp reporting unit was determined to exceed the carrying value by
103
$117,500, or 38%, and no impairment was recorded. A relatively small change in the underlying assumptions, including a 1% change in the weighted average cost of capital, continued lack of clarity from the Food and Drug Administration regarding approval of CBD or the financial performance of the reporting unit in future years may cause a change in the results of the impairment assessment in future periods and, as such, could result in an impairment of goodwill.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company reduced its employee headcount in portions of its global organization to meet the needs of the current industry environment. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company incurred $4,864 (2019 – $0) in severance costs, of which $4,321 and $543 is included in salaries within general and administrative expenses and in cost of sales, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2020, severance costs of $3,205 are allocated to the cannabis reportable segment and $1,659 are allocated to the hemp reportable segment. Management continues to evaluate its cost structure and may take further actions in the future and incur additional related costs. The following table shows the reconciliation of the severance costs included within the accrued payroll and employment related withholding taxes balance above, relating to scheduled benefit payments which were communicated to employees prior to December 31, 2020:

14. Convertible Notes
In October 2018 the Company issued convertible notes with a face value of $475,000. The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $460,134, after deducting commissions and other fees incurred.
The convertible notes bear interest at a rate of 5.00% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2019. Additional interest may accrue on the convertible notes in specified circumstances. The convertible notes will mature on October 1, 2023, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. There are no principal payments required over the five year term of the convertible notes, except in the case of redemption or events of defaults.
The convertible notes are governed by an Indenture between the Company, as issuer, and GLAS Trust Company LLC, as trustee. The convertible notes are the Company’s general unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the notes; equal in right of payment with any of the Company’s unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables but excluding intercompany obligations) of the Company’s current or future subsidiaries.
104
The Indenture includes customary covenants and sets forth certain events of default after which the convertible notes may be declared immediately due and payable, including certain types of bankruptcy or insolvency involving the Company.
To the extent the Company so elects, the sole remedy for an event of default relating to certain failures by the Company to comply with certain reporting covenants in the Indenture will, for the first 365 days after such event of default, consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest on the notes. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s election (the “cash conversion option”). The initial conversion rate for the convertible notes is 5.9735 shares of common stock per one thousand dollar principal amount of notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $167.41 per share of common stock, which represents approximately 1,660 shares of common stock, based on the $277,857 aggregate principal amount of convertible notes outstanding as of December 31, 2020. Throughout the term of the convertible notes, the conversion rate may be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events.
Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding April 1, 2023, the convertible notes will be convertible only under the specified circumstances. On or after April 1, 2023 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their convertible notes, in multiples of one thousand dollar principal amount, at the option of the holder regardless of the forementioned circumstances.
As a result of the cash conversion option, the Company separately accounts for the value of the embedded conversion option as a component of equity. The value of the embedded conversion option is the residual of the net proceeds of the issuance, less the estimated fair value of the debt without the conversion feature, and amounted to $57,595 at issuance. The estimated fair value of the debt without the conversion feature, was determined using the expected cash flows of the convertible notes discounted by the estimated interest rate of similar nonconvertible debt; the debt discount is being amortized as additional non-cash interest expenses over the term of the convertible notes using the interest method with an effective interest rate of 8% per annum. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.
The Company may from time to time seek to retire or purchase its convertible notes, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such purchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, the company's liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved in any such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may be material. During November 2020, the Company entered into two privately negotiated exchange agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”) with certain holders of our convertible notes. Under the terms of the Exchange Agreements, the holders agreed to exchange an aggregate principal amount of approximately $197,143 of convertible notes plus accrued interest held by them in exchange for an aggregate of 17,339,577 shares of our Class 2 common stock. Effectively, we agreed to repurchase a portion of our Notes at discounts of 36% and 42%, respectively, to their face value, using shares issued at our most recent closing market price on November 20, 2020 and November 23, 2020 (which is equivalent to a conversion price of $7.36 per share and $6.68 per share, respectively).
In accordance with ASC 470-20, Convertible Debt, the Company utilized the inducement method of accounting to record the early retirement of the convertible debt in the two-step approach for induced conversions resulting in a net gain on debt conversion of $61,118 which the Company recorded on its Statement of Net Loss and Comprehensive Loss. In the first step, we assessed a loss on extinguishment using the fair value of the converted debt, less the fair value of the debt under the original terms, resulting in a loss on induced conversion of $114,891. In the second step, we assessed a gain on conversion, as the fair value of the converted debt given up at inducement exceeded the fair value of the shares issued to the converted holders resulting in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $176,009.
As of December 31, 2020, the convertible notes are not yet convertible. The convertible notes will become convertible upon the satisfaction of the above circumstances. In accounting for the transaction costs related to the issuance of the convertible notes, the Company allocated the total amount of offering costs incurred to the debt and equity components based on their relative values. Transaction costs attributable to the convertible notes totaling $13,467, are being amortized as non-cash interest expenses over the term of the convertible notes, and offering costs attributable to the equity component, totaling $1,398, were recorded within stockholders’ equity (deficit). The remaining unamortized debt discount related to the convertible notes of $15,229 as of December 31, 2020 will be accreted over the remaining term of the convertible notes, which is approximately 33 months.
105
As at December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all the covenants set forth under the Indenture.
The following table sets forth the net carrying amount of the convertible notes:
| December 31, 2020 | December 31, 2019 | |

15. Senior Facility
On February 28, 2020, High Park Holdings Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Borrower”) entered into a credit agreement, denominated in Canadian dollars (“C$”), for a senior secured credit facility in a maximum aggregate principal amount of $59,600 (C$79,800) (the “Senior Facility”). An aggregate principal amount equal to $49,700 (C$66,500) was drawn on February 28, 2020 (the “Closing Date Draw”) and the Company submitted an irrevocable 30 day notice on May 4, 2020 to draw an additional $9,900 (C$13,300) (the “Additional Draw”).
On June 5, 2020, as a result of COVID-19 related financial markets conditions that affected the lender of the Senior Facility, and not because of any material changes to the business of Tilray or its subsidiaries, the lender requested that Tilray withdraw its outstanding request for the Additional Draw of $9,900 (C$13,300) under the Senior Facility. In exchange for the Company’s accommodation of the lender’s request to withdraw its funding request, the lender agreed to enter into the First Amendment of the Senior Facility (the “Amendment”). The Amendment provides for interest-only payments for the remainder of its term with all outstanding principal payments due at February 28, 2022. This will result in an aggregate balance of $47,355 (C$64,283) due at February 28, 2022. Additionally, and at such time as the lender’s business may allow, the lender may make the additional proceeds of $9,900 (C$13,300) available, at its sole discretion.
The Senior Facility bears interest on the outstanding principal balance at an annual rate equal to the Canadian prime rate plus 8.05%, calculated based on the daily outstanding balance of the Senior Facility calculated and compounded monthly in arrears and with no deemed reinvestment of monthly payments. Interest is due monthly throughout the term. The Company has the option to voluntarily prepay, without penalty, the outstanding amounts, in full or in part, at any time starting 6 months from the closing date subsequent to providing 75 days’ notice.
Transaction costs incurred on the Closing Date Draw were $3,306 (C$4,425). There were no fees incurred associated with the Amendment. Transaction costs are deferred and amortized as a component of interest expense over the estimated term using the effective interest rate method. On June 29, 2020, the lender notified the Company that it had exercised its unilateral right to syndicate $19,153 (C$26,000) of the Company’s Senior Facility in the aggregate principal amount of $59,600 (C$79,800). The Senior Facility’s terms otherwise remain unchanged.
The Senior Facility has first priority claims on all North American assets of the Company and contains certain affirmative and negative covenants. The operational covenant includes a minimum unrestricted cash threshold of $29,466 (C$40,000) in order for the Company to make additional capital expenditures and investments. The Senior Facility is collateralized against all real and personal property owned, leased and operated by the Company in North America, and any and all other property of the Company now existing and acquired in North America after the closing date. As of December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all covenants set forth under the Senior Facility.

16. Registered Offering and Warrants
On March 17, 2020, the Company closed a registered offering of 7,250,000 shares of the Company’s Class 2 common stock for $4.76 per share with an equal number of accompanying warrants and 11,750,000 pre-funded warrants for $4.7599 (the “pre-funded warrants”) with an equal number of accompanying warrants. The pre-funded warrants had an exercise price per share of Class 2 common stock of $0.0001 and were exercisable at any time after their original issuance and expire on the fifth anniversary date of issuance. As of December 31, 2020, all pre-funded warrants have been exercised. The 19,000,000 total accompanying warrants (the “warrants”) allow the holders to purchase an aggregate of 19,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class 2 common stock. The warrants have an exercise price per share of Class 2 common stock of $5.95 and are exercisable at any time after the first trading day following the six-month anniversary of the issuance and will expire on the fifth anniversary date from the date they become exercisable. As of December 31, 2020, the warrants remain outstanding.
The total gross proceeds of the registered offering were $90,439, of which $21,025 was allocated to the Class 2 common stock at the offering close and $69,414 was allocated to the warrant liability. Issuance costs incurred on the registered offering were $5,150, of which $3,953 was recorded to other expenses (income) in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss and $1,197 was allocated to the Class 2 common stock and recorded net against the allocated gross proceeds in additional paid-in-capital.
The warrants contain anti-dilution price protection features, which adjust the exercise price of the warrants if the Company subsequently issues Class 2 common stock at a price lower than the exercise price of the warrants. In the event additional warrants or convertible debt are issued with a lower and/or variable exercise price, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted accordingly. There were no triggering events during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company received stockholder approval of the anti-dilution price protection feature at the Company’s Annual Meeting on May 28, 2020.
The Company's warrants are classified as liabilities as they are to be settled in registered shares, and the registration statement is required to be active, unless such shares may be subject to an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The holders, at their sole discretion, may elect to effect a cashless exercise, and be issued exempt securities in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the 1933 Act. In the event the Company does not maintain an effective registration statement, the Company may be required to pay a daily cash penalty equal to 1% of the number of shares of Class 2 common stock due to be issued multiplied by any trading price of the Class 2 common stock between the exercise date and the share delivery date, as selected by the holder. Alternatively, the Company may deliver registered Class 2 common stock purchased by the Company in the open market. The Company may also be required to pay cash if it does not have sufficient authorized shares to deliver to the holders upon exercise.
Pre-funded warrants and warrants outstanding at December 31, 2020, and related activity for the year ended December 31, 2020 is as follows (reflects the number of shares of Class 2 common stock as if the warrants were converted to Class 2 common stock):
107
| Description | Classification | Exercise price | Expiration date | Balance December 31, 2019 |

19,000,000 |
The Company estimated the fair value of the Warrant liability at December 31, 2020 at $6.35 per warrant using the Monte Carlo pricing model (Level 3) with the following weighted-average assumptions:

17. Stockholders’ Equity
Common and preferred stock
The Company’s certificate of incorporation authorized the Company to issue the following classes of shares with the following par value and voting rights as of December 31, 2020. The liquidation and dividend rights are identical among Class 1 common stock and Class 2 common stock, and all classes of common stock share equally in our earnings and losses.

|
| Preferred stock | $ 0.0001 | 10,000,000 | N/A |
On September 30, 2020, 13,159,762 shares of Class 1 common stock, constituting all of the shares of Class 1 common stock that were issued and outstanding, were automatically converted into shares of Class 2 common stock, as the Class 1 common stock ceased to represent at least 10% of the outstanding common stock. Prior to the conversion, the Company had authorized 250,000,000 shares of Class 1 common stock. Upon conversion, 16,666,667 were retired, leaving 233,333,333 shares authorized, par value $0.0001 per share. There are no shares of Class 1 common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2020.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company issued 16,131,487 shares of Class 2 common stock for gross proceeds of $127,041, under the at-the-market equity offering. Transaction costs of $2,541 were recorded net against the allocated gross proceeds in additional paid-in-capital. The warrants’ anti-dilution price protection features allow, for the period the warrants are outstanding, the Company to only issue up to $20,000 in aggregate gross proceeds under the Company’s at-the-market offering program at prices less than the exercise price of the warrants, and in no event more than $6,000 per quarter, at prices below the exercise price of the warrants, without triggering the warrant’s anti-dilution price protection features.
The Company’s future ability to pay cash dividends on Class 2 common stock is limited by the terms of the Senior Facility and cannot be paid without the consent of the lender.
On March 17, 2020, the Company closed the registered offering, issuing shares of the Company’s Class 2 common stock along with pre-funded warrants and warrants (refer to Note 16).
18. Stock-Based Compensation
Original Stock Option Plan
Certain employees and other service providers of the Company participate in the equity-based compensation plan of Privateer Holdings, Inc (the “Original Plan”) under the terms and valuation method detailed below. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the total stock-based compensation expenses associated with the
108
Original Plan was $702 (December 31, 2019 – $469 and 2018 – $359). There were no new grants under the Original Plan for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The fair value of each stock option to employees granted under the Original Plan was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
| 2020 | 2019 2018 |
|
|---|---|---|
| Expected stock option life | — | — 5.15years |
| Expected volatility | — | — 48.82 % |
| Risk-free interest rate | — | — 2.35 % |
| Expected dividend yield | — | — - % |
The expected life of the stock options represented the period of time stock options were expected to be outstanding and was estimated considering vesting terms and employees’ historical exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior. Expected volatility was based on historical volatilities of public companies operating in a similar industry to Privateer Holdings. The risk-free rate is based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected dividend yield was determined based on the stock option’s exercise price and expected annual dividend rate at the time of grant.

The weighted-average fair values of all stock options granted in 2020 and 2019 were $0 and $0, respectively. The total intrinsic values of stock options exercised in 2020 and 2019 were $5,910 and $1,686, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the total remaining unrecognized compensation expenses related to nonvested stock options amounted to $248 (2019 - $921), which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining requisite service period of approximately 0.7 years (2019 – 0.8 years). The total fair values of stock options vested in 2020 and 2019 were $85 and $2,789, respectively.
New Stock Option and Restricted Stock Unit Plan
The Company adopted the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 EIP”) as amended and approved by stockholders in May 2018 under the terms and valuation methods detailed in our Annual Financial Statements. The 2018 EIP authorizes the award of stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) to employees, including officers, non-employee directors and consultants and the employees and consultants of our affiliates. Shares subject to awards granted under the 2018 EIP that expire or terminate without being exercised in full, or that are paid out in cash rather than in shares, do not reduce the number of shares available for issuance under the 2018 EIP. Additionally, shares become available for future grant under the 2018 EIP if they were issued under the 2018 EIP and if the Company repurchases them or they are forfeited. This includes shares used to pay the exercise price of an award or to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to an award. The maximum number of shares of common stock subject to stock awards granted under the 2018 EIP or otherwise during any one calendar year to any non-employee director, taken together with any cash fees paid by the Company to such non-employee director during such calendar year for service on the Board of Directors, will not exceed five hundred thousand dollars in total value, calculating the value of any such stock awards based on the grant date fair value of such stock awards for financial reporting purposes, or, with respect to the calendar year in which a nonemployee director is first appointed or elected to our Board of Directors, one million dollars.
109
Stock options represent the right to purchase shares of our Class 2 common stock on the date of exercise at a stated exercise price. The exercise price of a stock option generally must be at least equal to the fair market value of our shares of Class 2 common stock on the date of grant. The Company’s compensation committee may provide for stock options to be exercised only as they vest or to be immediately exercisable with any shares issued on exercise being subject to the Company’s right of repurchase that lapses as the shares vest. The maximum term of stock options granted under the 2018 EIP is ten years.
RSUs represent a right to receive Class 2 common stock or their cash equivalent for each RSU that vests, which vesting may be based on time or achievement of performance conditions. Unless otherwise determined by our compensation committee at the time of grant, vesting will cease on the date the participant no longer provides services to the Company and unvested shares will be forfeited. If an RSU has not been forfeited, then on the date specified in the RSUs, the Company will deliver to the holder a number of whole shares of Class 2 common stock, cash or a combination of shares of our Class 2 common stock and cash. Additionally, dividend equivalents may be credited in respect of shares covered by the RSUs. Any additional shares covered by the RSU credited by reason of such dividend equivalents will be subject to all of the same terms and conditions of the underlying RSU agreement to which they relate. The RSUs generally vest over a 3-or-4 year period. The fair value of RSUs are based on the share price as at date of grant.
SARs provide for a payment, or payments, in cash or shares of Class 2 common stock to the holder based upon the difference between the fair market value of shares of our Class 2 common stock on the date of exercise and the stated exercise price. The maximum term of SARs granted under the 2018 EIP is ten years. No SARs were issued to date.
The 2018 EIP permits the grant of performance-based stock and cash awards. The performance goals may be based on company-wide performance or performance of one or more business units, divisions, affiliates or business segments and may be either absolute or relative to the performance of one or more comparable companies or the performance of one or more relevant indices. The length of any performance period, the performance goals to be achieved during the performance period, and the measure of whether and to what degree such performance goals have been attained will be conclusively determined by the Board of Directors.
As of January 1, 2020, 17,037,421 shares of Class 2 common stock had been reserved for issuance under the 2018 EIP. The number of shares of Class 2 common stock reserved for issuance under the 2018 EIP will automatically increase on January 1 of each calendar year, for a period of not more than ten years, starting on January 1, 2019 and ending on and including January 1, 2027, in an amount equal to 4% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding on December 31 of the prior calendar year, or a lesser number of shares determined by our Board of Directors. The shares reserved include only the outstanding shares related to stock options and RSUs, and excludes stock options outstanding under the Original Plan.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, the total stock-based compensation expenses associated with the 2018 EIP was $29,014 (2019 – $31,373 and 2018 – $20,629).
The fair value of each stock option granted to employees under the 2018 EIP is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:
| Assumptions 2020 |
Assumptions 2020 |
Assumptions 2019 Assumptions 2018 |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected stock option life(years) | — | 8.97years 5.79years |
|
| Expected volatility | — | 61.33 % 58.54 % |
|
| Risk-free interest rate | — | 2.10 % 2.92 % |
|
| Expected dividend yield | — | -% -% |
The expected life of the award is estimated using the simplified method since the Company does not have adequate historical exercise data to estimate the expected term. Expected volatility is based on historical volatilities of public companies operating in a similar industry to the Company. A forfeiture rate is estimated at the time of grant to reflect the amount of awards that are granted but are expected to be forfeited by the award holder prior to vesting. The estimated forfeiture rate applied to these amounts is derived from management’s estimate of the future stock option forfeiture behavior over the expected life of the awards. The risk-free rate is based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

20. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal proceedings
In the normal course of business, the Company may become involved in legal disputes regarding various litigation matters. The Company records a loss contingency if the information available indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. As of December 31, 2020, in the opinion of management, no claims meet the criteria to record a loss contingency.
Purchase commitments
The following table reflects the Company’s future non-cancellable minimum purchase commitments for inventory as of December 31, 2020:

In 2018, the Company signed an agreement with Rose Lifescience Inc. (“Rose”) for distribution and marketing of product in Quebec in exchange for a minimum fee of $384 per annum for an initial term of five years, and agreed to purchase the lesser of 2,000 Kg per year or 40% of the production of Cannabis at a rate of 115% of cost of goods sold from the Rose facility. In September 2020, the Company signed an amendment to this agreement under which the Company is no longer obligated to purchase product from Rose nor pay the minimum fee. Instead, the amendment requires the Company to make approximately 40,000 kilograms equivalent Tilray product available in the province of Quebec through 2023 for Rose for sale and pay Rose a compensation fee based on net revenue sold in Quebec for an estimated compensation fee of approximately $8.0 million through 2023. As there is no firm commission fee commitment, it is excluded from the above schedule. Compensation fee expense is recorded as incurred.
In 2018, the Company entered into a Product and Trademark License Agreement with Docklight LLC, a related party (refer to Note 25), to use certain intellectual property rights in exchange for payment of royalty depending upon specified percentage of licensed product net sales. As the purchase commitment is an undeterminable variable amount, it is excluded from the above schedule.

21. Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Company reports two segments: cannabis and hemp, in accordance with ASC 280 Segment Reporting. The Company generates revenues from the cannabis and hemp segments through contracts with customers, each with a single performance obligation, being the sale of products. The Company determines that revenue information
113
disclosed in business segment information in Note 28 disaggregates revenue into categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.
For certain long-term arrangements, the Company has performance obligations for goods it has not yet delivered. For these arrangements, the Company does not have a right to bill for the undelivered goods. The Company has determined that any unbilled consideration relates entirely to the value of undelivered goods. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized revenue, and has elected not to disclose amounts, related to these undelivered goods. As of December 31, 2020, other than accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful debts, the Company has no contract balances in the balance sheets.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was enacted and signed into law in the U.S. The CARES Act, among other things, permits U.S. net operating loss ("NOL") carryovers and carrybacks to offset 100% of U.S. taxable income for taxable years beginning before 2021. The CARES Act also contains modifications on the limitation of business interest for tax years beginning in 2019 and 2020. The modifications to Section 163(j) increase the allowable business interest deduction from 30% of adjusted taxable income to 50% of adjusted taxable income. The CARES Act results in increasing the allowable interest expense and NOL carryover deductions in 2020.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (2017 Tax Act) was enacted on December 22, 2017 and reduced the U.S. statutory federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. The Tax Act also contains additional provisions that are effective for the company in 2018, including a new tax on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”). Under U.S. GAAP, we are allowed to make an accounting policy choice to either (i) treat taxes due on future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred (the "period cost method"); or (ii) factor in such amounts into the measurement of our deferred taxes (the "deferred method"). The Company has made a policy decision to record GILTI tax as a current-period expense when incurred.

Effective January 1, 2018, the United States tax law provides a deduction for the foreign-source portion of dividends received from specified foreign corporations. As such, the Company does not maintain an indefinite reinvestment assertion on unremitted foreign earnings and has recorded a deferred tax liability, as necessary, for any estimated foreign, federal, or state tax liabilities associated with a future repatriation of foreign earnings.
At December 31, 2020, the Company had United States net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $135,817 that can be carried forward indefinitely and generally limited in annual use to 80% of the current year taxable income starting 2021. The Company has Canadian net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $258,790 that can be carried forward 20 years and begin to expire in 2028. Management believes that it is morelikely-than-not that the benefit from certain United States and foreign net operating loss carryforwards will not be realized. In recognition of this risk, the Company has provided a valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets relating to these carryforwards. The net change in the total valuation allowance was an increase of $65,318 and $66,355 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
The Company recognizes the financial statement impact of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more-likely-than-not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest impact that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.
The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits (“GUTB”) was $0, $86, and $0 as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 respectively. The $86 decrease of GUTB in 2020 was attributable to unrecognized tax benefits as a result of tax positions taken during a prior period. The $86 increase of GUTB in 2019 was attributable to unrecognized tax benefits as a result of tax positions taken during a prior period. There is a reasonable possibility that the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits will change within twelve months due to audit settlements or the expiration of statute of limitations, but the Company does not expect the change to be material to the financial statements.
The Company recognizes interest and, if applicable, penalties for any uncertain tax positions. Interest and penalties are recorded as a component of income tax expenses. In the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded approximately $0, $0 and $0, respectively, of interest and penalty expenses related to uncertain tax positions. As of December 31,2020, and 2019, the Company had a cumulative balance of accrued interest and penalties on unrecognized tax positions of $0 and $0, respectively.
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to United States federal income tax as well as the income tax of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is not currently under audit in any jurisdiction for any period. Major jurisdictions where there are wholly owned subsidiaries of Tilray, Inc. which require income tax filings include the Canada, Portugal, Germany, and Australia. The earliest periods open for review by local taxing authorities are fiscal years 2016 for Canada, 2017 for Portugal, 2016 for Germany, 2017 for Australia, and 2018 for United States.

26. Financial Instruments
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and short-term investments.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are deposited in major financial institutions in Canada, Australia, Portugal, Germany and the United States. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses on its cash deposits. Accounts receivable are unsecured and the Company does not require collateral from its customers.
The Company is also exposed to credit risk from the potential default by any of its counterparties on its financial assets.
The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and provides an allowance for potential credit losses as necessary (refer to Note 8).
Due to the uncertainties associated with COVID-19, the Company may be unable to accurately predict the creditworthiness of its counterparties and their ability to meet their obligations. This may result in unforeseen additional credit losses.
Foreign currency risk
The Company conducts its business in several countries and in a variety of currencies, the most significant of which are the Canadian dollar and Euro. Consequently, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk. A significant portion of the Company’s assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses are denominated in Canadian dollars. A 10% change in the exchange rates for the Canadian dollar would affect the carrying value of net assets by approximately $45,944 as of December 31, 2020 (2019 - $12,457 and 2018 – $2,817), with a corresponding impact to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Company is also exposed to risk related to changes in the value of the Euro due to its construction commitment in Portugal.
Interest rate risk
The Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s outsanding debt. The Company is exposed to changes to the Canadian prime rate as the Senior Facility bears interest based on the Canadian prime rate plus 8.05%. The convertible notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5% and are not publicly traded and, therefore, are not affected by changes in the market interest rates. A 1% change in the Canadian prime rate would have an impact of $425 to the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Liquidity risk
The Company’s objective is to have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due. The Company monitors its cash balances and cash flows generated from operations to meet its requirements. As at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the most significant financial liabilities are accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and convertible notes and the Senior Facility.
118
Equity Price Risks
As of December 31, 2020, we held long-term equity investments at fair value and equity investments under the measurement alternative. These investment in equities were acquired as part of our strategic transactions. Accordingly, the changes in fair values of investment in equities measured at fair value or under the measurement alternative are recognized through other expense (income), net in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss. Based on the fair value of investment in equities held as of December 31, 2020, a hypothetical decrease of 10% in the prices for these companies would reduce the fair values of the investments and result in unrealized loss recorded in other expense (income), net by $50. Similarly, based on the fair value of our warrant liability as of December 31, 2020, a hypothetical increase of 10% in the price for our common stock would increase the change in fair value of warrant liability by $5,800.
27. Fair Value Measurement
The Company complies with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Items measured at fair value on a recurring basis
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities required to be measured on a recurring basis are its equity investments measured at fair value, debt securities classified as available-for-sale, acquisition-related contingent consideration, and warrant liability.
119
Debt securities classified as available-for-sale and equity investments recorded at fair value: The estimated fair value is determined using quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations or discounted cash flows.
Warrant liability: The warrants associated with the warrant liability are classified as Level 3 derivatives. Consequently, the estimated fair value of the warrant liability is determined using the Monte Carlo pricing model (refer to Note 16). Until the warrants are exercised, expire, or other facts and circumstances lead the warrant liability to be reclassified to stockholders’ equity, the warrant liability (which relates to warrants to purchase shares of Class 2 common stock) is marked-to-market each reporting period with the change in fair value recorded in change in fair value of warrant liability. Any significant adjustments to the unobservable inputs disclosed in the table below would have a direct impact on the fair value of the warrant liability.
Convertible Debt: This instrument is held at amortized cost. The estimated fair value is determined using quoted market prices near the reporting date and is classified as Level 2.
The opening balances of assets and liabilities categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy measured at fair value on a recurring basis are reconciled to the closing balances as follows:

Items measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis
The Company's prepayments and other current assets, long lived assets, including property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets are measured at fair value when there is an indicator of impairment and are recorded at fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized.
The estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and Senior Facility at December 31, 2020 (December 31, 2019 – the fair value of all aforementioned, except the Senior Facility which was entered into in 2020) approximate their carrying value.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Tilray Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tilray Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of net loss and comprehensive loss, and changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated February 19, 2021, expressed an adverse opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Inventory – Cannabis Costing — Refer to Notes 2 and 5 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
Inventory is comprised of raw materials, finished goods and work-in-progress for cannabis and hemp products. Cost includes expenditures directly related to the manufacturing process as well as suitable portions of related production overheads, based on normal operating capacity. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, determined using weighted average cost. For cannabis inventory, costs include pre-harvest, post-harvest, shipment and fulfillment, as well as related accessories.
The nature of the process for cannabis inventory costing is manual and requires management to use complex spreadsheet models updated monthly (“models”) to calculate a month by month ongoing cost of inventory. In addition, the models must use a variety of inputs and source data in order to calculate cost. Auditing the cost of inventory required an increased extent of audit effort.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the cost of cannabis inventory included the following, among others:
-
Evaluated the complex spreadsheet models, and the inputs to such models, used to calculate the cost of cannabis inventory by:
-
Evaluating the incorporation of the source data into the models, testing the formulas used and testing the computational accuracy.
126
-
Testing purchases used in the models to third party source documentation.
-
Testing production costs used in the models to actual costs incurred.
-
Performing independent calculations of key inputs used in the models and comparing to inputs used by management.
-
Testing management’s allocation of indirect costs between inventory products by assessing the appropriateness of the allocation method, recalculating the allocations and on a sample basis testing the underlying allocations by tracing to source documents.
-
Testing production quantities used in the models by physically observing and verifying inventory quantities.
-
As a result of the Company’s material weakness identified by the Company in the “Control Activity” component of Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO, we increased the extent of inventory physical observations and verifications, increased the extent of testing where sampling methodology was used, and utilized third party source documents in the performance of our testing procedures.
Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets— Refer to Notes 2, 11 and 12 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company performs an annual assessment of the impairment for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, or a more frequent assessment when events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value and an impairment may have occurred. As at December 31, 2020, the Company performed their annual assessment including a quantitative assessment. This assessment required management to make significant estimates and judgements relating to forecasted revenues, gross margins and operating margins, and discount rate. Changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on either the fair value of the hemp reporting unit, the amount of any goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment charge, or both. The fair value of the hemp reporting unit was determined to exceed its carrying value and no impairment charge was recorded.
Performing audit procedures to evaluate if the fair value of the hemp reporting unit exceeded its carrying value required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of audit effort, including involving fair value specialists.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the evaluation of the fair value of the hemp reporting unit against its carrying value included the following, among others:
-
Evaluated management’s ability to accurately forecast revenues, gross margins and operating margins by comparing actual results to management’s historical forecasts.
-
With the assistance of fair value specialists, developed an independent discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of the hemp reporting unit by:
-
Determining forecasted revenues, gross margins and operating margins by considering:
-
Historical revenues, gross margins and operating margins;
-
Internal communications with management;
-
Underlying analyses detailing business strategies and growth plans;
-
Analyst and industry reports for the Company and peer companies operating in food and / or CBD.
-
-
Determining an appropriate discount rate based on source information, industry data and benchmarks.
-
Compared the independent estimate of the fair value of the hemp reporting until against its carrying value.
