NEW YORK and LONDON and LEAMINGTON, Ontario, Oct. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tilray Brands, Inc. (“Tilray”, “our”, “we” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: TLRY; TSX: TLRY), a global lifestyle and consumer packaged goods company with leading positions across cannabis, beverage, hospitality and wellness, today reported financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2026. All financial information in this press release is reported in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Irwin D. Simon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Tilray Brands, stated: “Tilray’s record first-quarter revenue and gross profit demonstrate the power of the diversified platform we have built and the momentum we are creating across cannabis, beverage, hospitality, wellness and pharmaceutical distribution. We are no longer dependent on a single market or regulatory catalyst. We have multiple engines of growth, a scaled international footprint and the ability to convert scale into stronger margins, greater efficiency and sustainable, profitable growth.”

Mr. Simon continued, “Our global platform is translating into leadership positions across our core categories. In cannabis, Tilray is a leading cannabis producer, with more than 6 million square feet of cultivation capacity across Canada, Portugal and Germany, and a leading low-cost production base in the world’s largest legally regulated markets, supported by one of the largest EU-GMP certified footprints in the world. In beer, the world’s largest consumed alcoholic beverage category, we are the #4 craft brewer in the U.S. and #1 in the U.K., and we are very proud that Carlsberg has partnered with Tilray to begin producing and selling its iconic brands in the U.S. market starting January 1, 2027. Across beverage and wellness, we are accelerating innovation and staying closer to consumers. These leadership positions reflect the work we have done to integrate our businesses, sharpen operations and build a more focused, profitable company. Tilray is building a category-defining global platform for the next generation of wellness, healthcare and consumer products, with the brands, infrastructure and scale to lead as these markets evolve.”

Balance Sheet Update: Tilray’s balance sheet remains strong, supported by cash, restricted cash and marketable securities 4 of $221.4 million at the end of the first quarter.

Fiscal year to date, Tilray also reduced total outstanding debt by $42 million.

Fiscal Year 2027 Guidance For its fiscal year ending May 31, 2027, the Company reaffirms its expectation to achieve adjusted EBITDA 3 of $68 million to $75 million, representing double-digit growth as compared to fiscal year 2026. Historically, due to the seasonality of our business, financial results are typically more weighted toward the second half of the fiscal year, with results strengthening significantly in the fourth quarter.

Management’s guidance for adjusted EBITDA 3 is provided on a non-GAAP basis and excludes stock-based compensation; change in fair value of contingent consideration; purchase price accounting step-up; impairments of intangible assets and goodwill; other than temporary change in fair value of convertible notes receivable; litigation costs; integration and restructuring costs; transaction-related costs; and other non-operating income (expenses) and non-recurring items that may be incurred during the Company’s fiscal year 2027, which the Company will continue to identify as it reports its future financial results.

The Company cannot reconcile its expected adjusted EBITDA 3 to net income under “Fiscal Year 2027 Guidance” without unreasonable effort because certain items that impact net income and other reconciling metrics are out of the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted at this time.

(1) Net (debt) cash is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Use of Non-GAAP Measures” below for additional discussion regarding these non-GAAP measures and for a reconciliation of such Non-GAAP Measures to our most comparable GAAP measure. (2) Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share/Adjusted EPS are a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Use of Non-GAAP Measures” below for additional discussion regarding these non-GAAP measures and for a reconciliation of such Non-GAAP Measures to our most comparable GAAP measure. (3) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure.

Use of Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures This press release and the accompanying tables include non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA 3, Adjusted cash operating income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted net income (loss) per share and or (“Adjusted EPS”), free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow, constant currency presentations of revenue, cash, restricted cash and marketable securities, and net (debt) cash. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented provide useful additional information to investors about current trends in the Company's operations and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of operations. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures, nor should adjusted net income (loss) per share be used as a measure of liquidity. In addition, these non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation and items being excluded. They should be read only in connection with the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows presented in accordance with GAAP.

Certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are not reconciled to the comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures. The Company is not able to reconcile these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts because the Company is unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the type and extent of certain items that would be expected to impact GAAP measures but would not impact the non-GAAP measures. Such items may include litigation and related expenses, transaction costs, impairments of intangible assets and goodwill, foreign exchange movements and other items. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company's GAAP financial results.

The Company believes presenting net sales at constant currency provides useful information to investors because it provides transparency to underlying performance in the Company's consolidated net sales by excluding the effect that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations have on period-to-period comparability given the volatility in foreign currency exchange markets. To present this information for historical periods, current period net sales for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the average monthly exchange rates in effect during the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, rather than at the actual average monthly exchange rate in effect during the current period of the current fiscal year. As a result, the foreign currency impact is equal to the current year results in local currencies multiplied by the change in average foreign currency exchange rate between the current fiscal period and the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. A reconciliation of prior year revenue to constant currency revenue, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, has been provided in the financial statement tables included above in this press release.

Adjusted EBITDA 3 is calculated as net income (loss) before income tax expense (recovery), net; interest expense, net; non-operating income (expense), net; amortization; stock-based compensation; change in fair value of contingent consideration; project 420 optimization costs; litigation costs; restructuring costs, and transaction costs, net. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA 3 to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, has been provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release.

Adjusted cash operating income (loss) is calculated as operating loss, less; amortization; stock-based compensation; and change in fair value of contingent consideration. A reconciliation of adjusted cash operating income (loss) to operating loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, has been included below in this press release. Adjusted cash operating income (loss) is not calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative for GAAP operating income or as a measure of liquidity.

Adjusted net income (loss) is calculated as net loss attributable to stockholders of Tilray Brands, Inc., less; non-operating income (expense), net; amortization; deferred income tax expense (benefits), net; stock-based compensation; Accretion of convertible debt discount; change in fair value of contingent consideration; project 420 optimization costs; litigation costs; restructuring costs and transaction costs, net. A reconciliation of Adjusted net income (loss) to net loss attributable to stockholders of Tilray Brands, Inc., the most directly comparable GAAP measure, has been included below in this press release.

Adjusted net income (loss) per share (and or adjusted EPS) is calculated as adjusted net income (loss) divided by weighted average number of common shares outstanding. A reconciliation of Adjusted net income (loss) per share to net loss attributable to stockholders of Tilray Brands, Inc., the most directly comparable GAAP measure, has been included below in this press release. Adjusted net income (loss) per share is not calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative for GAAP net income (loss) per share or as a measure of liquidity.

Free cash flow is comprised of two GAAP measures which are net cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities less investments in capital and intangible assets, net. A reconciliation of net cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities to free cash flow, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, has been provided in the financial statement tables included above in this press release. Adjusted free cash flow is comprised of two GAAP measures which are net cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities less investments in capital and intangible assets, net, and the exclusion of growth CAPEX from investments in capital and intangible assets, net, which excludes the amount of capital expenditures that are considered to be associated with growth of future operations rather than to maintain the existing operations of the Company, and excludes cash paid for litigation settlements. A reconciliation of net cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities to adjusted free cash flow, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, has been provided in the financial statement tables included above in this press release.

Cash, restricted cash and marketable securities are comprised of three GAAP measures, cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash added to marketable securities. The Company’s management believes that this presentation provides useful information to management, analysts and investors regarding certain additional financial and business trends relating to its short-term liquidity position by combining these three GAAP metrics.

Net (debt) cash is comprised of GAAP measures and reduces bank indebtedness, current and non-current portions of long-term debt, the principal balance of convertible debt by cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. The Company believes this metric provides useful information to management, analysts, and investors regarding its liquidity and the Company’s ability to repay all of its debt.
