INDUSTRY OVERVIEWMACRO ECONOMIC LANDSCAPE

Source: IBISWorld Industry Reports.

Over the five years to 2018, the cannabis production industry in Canada has transitioned from a single government-sponsored provider of medical cannabis products to a highly competitive industry comprising hundreds of private companies, with hundreds more in development. This development has largely been shaped by the Canadian government's ongoing deregulation of medical marijuana consumption, as well as underlying demographic shifts and improving consumer conditions. And while the sale and consumption of nonmedical marijuana remains illegal in Canada, growing demand for cannabis products to treat chronic pain and other ailments has resulted in surging revenue growth for most industry operators. Overall, industry revenue is estimated to increase at an annualized rate of 128.8% to $501.9 million over the five years to 2018, including expected growth of 44.5% in 2018 alone.

In late 2013, Canada enacted the Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (and later, the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations, ACMPR), which expanded access to medical marijuana by enabling Health Canada to issue licences for private companies to cultivate, produce and sell cannabis products to registered patients with medical prescriptions. This policy shift has resulted in surging demand for medical cannabis, with the number of clients registered at Health Canada's licensed providers increasing from just 15,545 clients in December 2014 to an estimated 269,502 clients in December 2017.

In April 2017, a bill to legalize cannabis was introduced in the Canadian Parliament. Since then, the bill has been passed bythe House of Commons of Canada, in addition to passing a second reading by the Senate of Canada in March 2018. According to the Canadian government, the proposed Cannabis Act would create a legal framework for controlling the production, distribution and consumption of recreational cannabis products in Canada. This bill follows favourable trends in the public perception of marijuana, with an estimated 68.0% of Canadians in favour of the expected legalization of marijuana, according to researchers at Dalhousie University. Moreover, the bill’s proponents argue that legalizing the possession and consumption of marijuana for nonmedical purposes would promote public health by establishing standards for product safety and quality, in addition to reducing criminal activity and limiting access to cannabis products for individuals under the age of 18. When the bill became law on October 17,2018, it allowed individuals aged 18 and older to be able to legally possess up to 30.0 grams of dried cannabis, purchase cannabis products from provincially licensed retailers and grow up to four cannabis plants per residence, substantially expanding the market for marijuana products.

Moving forward, the cannabis production industry in Canada will continue to blaze a trail through the Canadian economy, though industry revenue growth will decelerate as the explosions of activity following recent and upcoming policy changes begin to settle down. The industry is expected to benefit from substantial pent-up demand for recreational marijuana, as many of the estimated 2.1 million individuals in Canada who consume cannabis at least once per week are now able to legally purchase cannabis products for the first time. This new source of industry revenue will be supplemented by increasingly favourable attitudes toward medical marijuana, causing demand for medical cannabis products to continue expanding. Overall, industry revenue is forecast to increase at an annualized rate of 29.0% over the next five years, reaching an estimated $1.8 billion in 2023, according to IBISWorld, and much higher according to other reports.

• While not technically an M&A transaction, this was one of the most critical developments during the quarter.

• The investment increases Constellation’s position in Canopy to approximately 38% when including the exercise of warrants which are included as part of the private placement. As part of the transaction, four directors of Constellation Brands will join Canopy's board of directors.

• This initiative highlights the importance of cannabis to the beverage industry, and provides a glimpse into where the market is likely headed. On August 1st, HEXO announced their own JV with Molson Coors to create a cannabis infused beverage (HEXO will own 42.5% of the JV). Additionally, in mid August, Heineken announced the launch of “Hi-Fi Hops”, a cannabis beverage in California.

• This is a major statement on the future of the cannabis market, and highlights some of the strategic partnerships that are likely to occur in the future.

• Aurora Cannabis Inc. acquired MedReleaf Corp. in exchange for shares of the company. MedReleaf’soperations include 265 thousand square feet of indoor cultivation and 1 million square feet of greenhouse.

• This combination of two of the largest Licensed Producers is a pivotal transaction for the industry. It gives the combined company national cultivation operations, and creates one of the largest cannabis companies traded on the TSX.

• At the time, Aurora’s acquisition of CanniMed was the largest in the industry, only to be surpassed by the two transactions above.

• CanniMed’s operations include 247 thousand square feet of cultivation space.

• This transaction was announced at $550 million as an all share hostile takeover, at the same time that CanniMed was under exclusivity to acquire NewstrikeResources Ltd. Ultimately Aurora increased their offer to $1.3 billion in a cash and share deal (subject to max $140 million cash), and forced the termination of the transaction announced with Newstrike. At the new price, the CanniMed board stated that this was a fair deal and completed the transaction on a friendly basis.
