SMITHS FALLS, ON, June 20, 2019 /CNW/ - Canopy
Growth Corporation ("Canopy Growth" or the "Company") (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC) today announced its financial
results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. The audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Management's
Discussion and Analysis for the twelve months ended March 31, 2019 will be filed on SEDAR after financial markets close on Friday,
June 21, 2019 and will be available at www.sedar.com. All financial information in this press release is reported in Canadian dollars,
unless otherwise indicated. This press release is intended to be read in conjunction with the Company's Financial Statements and
Management Discussion & Analysis, which will be available at www.canopygrowth.com and filed on SEDAR.
Fiscal year 2019 was a year of continued expansion
across key markets, including major steps towards completion of the Company's build-out in Canada. Management believes that the
strategy of investing early in large-scale, high quality Canadian production assets and significant value-add infrastructure has
been validated during the second half of fiscal 2019 as the majority of the Company's production platform became licensed and operational,
with further improvements in output expected as full ramp-up of facilities is completed. In the current quarter, Canopy Growth
expects to harvest approximately 34,000 kilograms, with further licensed capacity, ramp-up and efficiencies anticipated. The Company's
strategy has resulted in, to its knowledge, the largest market share in the Canadian cannabis market.
"The fourth quarter wraps up a historic
year with major steps taken in Canada to build-out our national platform while scaling all of our processes to bring cannabis to
market. The third quarter of the year benefitted from months of advanced production while the fourth quarter relied more on efficient
throughput and a more automated platform," said Bruce Linton, Chairman and Co-CEO of Canopy Growth. "With more product
formats coming to the Canadian market later in the year, we are working hard to ensure that we are ready to hit the ground running
with products, formats and brands that Canadians trust."

Recreational Sales Overview
Gross recreational revenue in fiscal 2019 was
$140.5 million, and accounted for 16,250 kilogram and kilogram equivalents, or 67% of total cannabis sold in fiscal 2019. Q4 to
Q3, gross recreational sales were largely similar with $68.9 million in gross recreational sales in Q4, down from $71.6 million
in gross recreational sales in Q3. As increased brick and mortar stores come online in key provinces of Ontario, Alberta, and British
Columbia, the Company will use its increased capacity to meet demand. Through the Company's investments in capacity and automation
across many of our processes, we approximately doubled our harvest size from Q3 fiscal 2019 to Q4 fiscal 2019, and expect to do
so again from Q4 fiscal 2019 to Q1 fiscal 2020, positioning us to ensure Canadian adult consumers have access to our trusted brand
Fiscal 2019 also welcomed our retail strategy,
which included securing licenses, rights to license, or permits to operate cannabis retail stores in four provinces - including
multi-year licensing agreements in Ontario to enable our partners to open additional retail stores. To date, we have launched (directly
or indirectly through licensing agreements) 23 cannabis retail stores in Newfoundland & Labrador, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and
Ontario under the Tweed and Tokyo Smoke banners.
Medical Sales Overview
Total revenue generated from medical cannabis
in fiscal 2019 was $78.9 million, representing an increase of 6% over fiscal 2018. Medical cannabis shipments were 8,070 kilogram
and kilogram equivalents in fiscal 2019, representing a decrease of 7%.
Canadian medical sales generated revenue of
$68.8 million in fiscal 2019 as compared to $70.6 million in fiscal 2018.
The Company's Canadian online medical store
saw a period of major transformation during the fiscal year, with established brands Tweed, DNA Genetics, LBS and certain CraftGrow
partners largely transitioning to the recreational channel. This product transition, along with product supply challenges which
have since been remedied, led to a decline in the medical channel in the second half of fiscal 2019, with Canadian medical revenue
decreasing from $19.5 million in Q4 fiscal 2018 to $11.6 million in Q4 fiscal 2019. Following the re-brand of Spectrum Cannabis,
Canopy Health Innovations and C3 into a singular medically-focused division Spectrum Therapeutics, along with increasing
finished goods inventory levels, and corresponding price adjustments of select products, the Company believes that Canadian medical
sales under the Spectrum Therapeutics brand will be able to return to previous levels of market-leading customer registrations
International medical sales generated revenue
of $10.1 million in fiscal 2019, 173% growth over the previous fiscal year, driven by German market growth, as well as entry into
the Polish and Czech markets. The Company believes that European sales have been negatively impacted by supply challenges from
Canada, caused by a focus on serving Canadian patients first, as well as the lengthy export process in Canada. The Company believes
there is significant upside potential in Europe, and with its Canadian medical channel fully supplied and Danish production coming
online within the calendar year, believes it will see significant increases in Canadian and Danish product availability in this
market. The Company has also begun sales in new markets, including Australia.
The Company remains committed to investing
in significant clinical research, as well as leading programs to educate healthcare practitioners on the potential benefits of
medicinal cannabis in Canada and abroad. This outreach will continue increasing Spectrum Therapeutics brand visibility and is estimated
to result in increased patients, both within Canada and internationally as new markets come online.
Other Strategic Revenue
To begin diversifying the Company's business
into higher margin cannabis products and to complement intellectual property ("IP") being developed internally for the
expected high growth vape category, Canopy Growth acquired medical devices company Storz & Bickel in Q3. Sales of Storz &
Bickel vaporizer devices, along with revenue from other strategic sources including extraction services, and clinic partners, resulted
in $34 million in other revenue generated in fiscal 2019.
As Storz & Bickel continues to become further
and fully integrated within the Canopy Growth ecosystem, the Company anticipates that sales and revenue generated will continue
to increase as we expand product availability within our internal and partnered sales channels. Additionally, through this acquisition,
the Company gained invaluable access to Storz & Bickel's IP portfolio which has greatly benefited our innovation teams as we
