"The duration and impact of lockdowns across many of the regions we operate in, particularly in Canada, were greater than we initially anticipated for the cannabis industry and our business; however, we believe Aphria remains well-positioned with our leading brands and market share to experience a robust increase in our top-line as the market improves," Irwin Simon, the company's chairman and CEO, said in a statement.
The Tilray Merger: In December, Aphria kicked off negotiations to merge with Tilray Inc. TLRY.
The combined company would continue to operate under the Tilray name with Simon as CEO.
The two companies have reached a definitive agreement to combine.
"We expect Aphria and Tilray's complementary cultures of innovation, brand development, and cultivation to further set us apart from others in the industry along with the strength of our balance sheet and cash availability as we enhance value for all stakeholders" Simon said.
APHA Price Action: Aphria shares were trading down 14.31% at $13.95 at last check Monday.
