1. Background, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Background
Cronos Group Inc. (“Cronos” or the “Company”) is incorporated in the province of British Columbia under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) with principal executive offices at 4491 Concession Rd 12, Stayner, Ontario, L0M 1S0. The Company’s common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) under the ticker symbol “CRON.”
Cronos is an innovative global cannabinoid company committed to building disruptive intellectual property by advancing cannabis research, technology and product development. With a passion to responsibly elevate the consumer experience, Cronos is building an iconic brand portfolio. Cronos’ diverse international brand portfolio includes Spinach ® , PEACE NATURALS ® and Lord Jones ® .
(b) Basis of presentation
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Cronos are unaudited. They have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other reporting period.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Annual Report”).
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation of our condensed consolidated interim financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations and ending shareholders’ equity.
(c) Segment information
Segment reporting is prepared on the same basis that the Company’s chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) manages the business, makes operating decisions and assesses the Company’s performance. The Company has determined that it has one operating segment and therefore one reportable segment, which is comprised of operations in Canada and Israel and is involved in the cultivation, manufacture, and marketing of cannabis and cannabis-derived products for the medical and adult-use markets .
(d) Revenue recognition
The following tables present the Company’s revenue by major product category:
Three months ended March 31,

(e) Short-term Investments
Short-term investments are classified as held-to-maturity and recorded at cost. Interest earned on short-term investments is recorded in other receivables on the consolidated balance sheets and interest income, net on the condensed consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). Cash inflows and outflows related to the purchase and maturity of short-term investments are classified as investing activities in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows.
(f) Concentration of 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. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities, primarily accounts receivable and other receivables, and its investing activities, including cash held with banks and financial institutions, short-term investments and loans receivable. The Company’s maximum exposure to this risk is equal to the carrying amount of these financial assets, which amounted to $ 885,163 and $ 904,101 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date using a provision matrix to measure expected credit losses. The provision rates are based on the days past due for groupings of various customer segments with similar loss patterns. The calculation reflects the probability-weighted outcome, the time value of money and reasonable and supportable information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, and a failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 120 days past due. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $ 33 and $ 7 , respectively, in expected credit losses that have been recognized on receivables from contracts with customers.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company assessed that there is a concentration of credit risk, as 20 % of the Company’s accounts receivable were due from one customer with an established credit history with the Company. As of December 31, 2024, 27 % of the Company’s accounts receivable were due from one customer with an established credit history with the Company.
The Company sells products to a limited number of major customers. Major customers are defined as customers that each individually accounted for greater than 10% of the Company’s net revenue before excise taxes. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company earned a total net revenue before excise taxes of $ 17,751 from two major customers, together accounting for 42 % of the Company’s total net revenue before excise taxes. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company earned a total net revenue before excise taxes of $ 21,866 from three major customers, together accounting for 62 % of the Company’s total net revenue before excise taxes.
(g) New accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 enhances the existing income tax disclosures to provide additional information to better assess how an entity’s operations, related tax risks and tax planning, and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and we expect to adopt ASU 2023-09 prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-09 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 adds an obligation under ASC 220-40 to require a footnote disclosure about specific expenses by requiring public business entities to disaggregate, in a tabular presentation, each relevant expense caption on the face of the income statement that includes any of the following natural expenses: (1) purchases of inventory, (2) employee compensation, (3) depreciation, (4) intangible asset amortization, and (5) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil and gas-producing activities or other types of depletion expenses. The tabular disclosure would also include certain other expenses, when applicable. ASU 2024-03 does not change or remove existing expense disclosure requirements; however, it may affect where that information appears in the footnotes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and applicable entities are required to adopt ASU 2024-03 prospectively; however, companies are permitted to apply the amendments in ASU 2024-03 retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2024-03 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In January 2025, the effective date was further clarified with the issuance of ASU 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”). No guidance was changed with ASU 2025-01, but the issuance simply ensures that all public business entities have a clear and consistent timeline for implementing the enhanced expense disaggregation disclosures.

2. Business Combination
Cronos Growing Company Inc. (“Cronos GrowCo”) was formed under the Canada Business Corporations Act on June 14, 2018, with the objective of cultivating and commercializing cannabis and cannabis products. Cronos GrowCo is licensed to sell certain cannabis products to other license holders in the wholesale channel, as well as to provincial cannabis control authorities. Cronos GrowCo holds Global GAP and ICANN GAP certifications (equivalent to IMC-GAP) for the export of dried flower to Israel.
In the third quarter of 2024, the Company obtained majority control of the board of directors of Cronos GrowCo, which qualified as a business combination under ASC 805 Accounting for Business Combinations (the “Cronos GrowCo Transaction”). Prior to the Cronos GrowCo Transaction, the Company’s investment in Cronos GrowCo consisted of an investment accounted for under the equity method and loans receivable from Cronos GrowCo. In connection with the Cronos GrowCo Transaction, the Company provided an approximately $ 51,000 secured non-revolving credit facility to Cronos GrowCo to fund the expansion of Cronos GrowCo’s cultivation and processing facilities (such area, the “Phase 2 Expansion Area”) and entered into a new supply agreement with Cronos GrowCo (the “Cronos GrowCo Supply Agreement”). Pursuant to the Cronos GrowCo Supply Agreement, prior to the commencement of sales from the Phase 2 Expansion Area, the Company and its controlled affiliates (other than Cronos GrowCo) have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase an aggregate total quantity of 80 % of Cronos GrowCo’s production. Thereafter, the Company and its controlled affiliates (other than Cronos GrowCo) will have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase 70 % of Cronos GrowCo’s forecasted production capacity over a given period and 70 % of Cronos GrowCo’s actual production in a given month. Cronos GrowCo’s production is intended to support the majority of the Company’s current and future biomass supply requirements.
As there was no cash consideration paid, the Cronos GrowCo Transaction was valued with reference to the fair value of our preexisting equity method investment of $ 53,542 , as well as the effective settlement of various preexisting relationships between the Company and Cronos GrowCo. These preexisting relationships are now classified as intercompany transactions and eliminated upon consolidation. As of the date of the Cronos GrowCo Transaction, the fair value of the non-controlling interest in Cronos GrowCo was $ 53,542 . The Company used the income approach to estimate both the fair value of the Company’s equity method investment in Cronos GrowCo and the fair value of the non-controlling interest in Cronos GrowCo. Under the income approach, significant assumptions used in the discounted cash flow method that required the use of judgment were the discount rate, growth rates and cash flow projections.
During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company completed the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final allocation of the purchase price to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was:
Cash $ 5,993
Accounts receivable 2,437
Inventory 15,754
Prepaids and other current assets 795
Intangible assets 8,008
Goodwill 65,269
Property, plant and equipment 87,630
Accounts payable ( 2,913 )
Accrued liabilities ( 2,757 )
Deferred income tax liability ( 1,337 )
Total purchase price
$ 178,879
The inventory acquired in the Cronos GrowCo Transaction of $ 15,754 included a step-up to fair value of $ 5,605 . For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized $ 517 of this inventory step-up into cost of sales on the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). As of March 31, 2025, none of the inventory step-up was remaining in the Company’s inventory on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

As a result of the Cronos GrowCo Transaction, the Company recorded goodwill of $ 65,269 , none of which is deductible for income tax purposes. The goodwill acquired was primarily attributable to the ability to realize synergies, enhance Cronos’ supply capabilities and support future growth opportunities from the expansion of Cronos GrowCo’s cultivation and processing facilities.
3. Inventory, net

Finished goods 13,451 13,248
Supplies and consumables 127 151
Total $ 34,603 $ 33,149
As a result of the Cronos GrowCo Transaction, the Company recorded a step-up to Cronos GrowCo’s existing inventory of $ 5,605 to bring the inventory balance acquired by the Company to its fair value. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized $ 517 of this inventory step-up into cost of sales on the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). As of March 31, 2025, none of the inventory step-up was remaining in the Company’s inventory on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 2 “ Business Combination ” for further information.

4. Investments
(a) Investments in equity method investments, net
The following is a summary of the Company’s share of net income from equity investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting:
Three months ended March 31, 2024
Cronos GrowCo (i)
$ 1,448
$ 1,448
(i) The Company obtained control of Cronos GrowCo on July 1, 2024, and, as a result, the investment in Cronos GrowCo is now accounted for as an intercompany transaction and eliminated upon consolidation from the business combination date onwards. See Note 2 “Business Combination” for further information.
(b) Other investments
Other investments consist of investments in common shares and options of two companies in the cannabis industry.
PharmaCann Option
On June 14, 2021, the Company purchased an option (the “PharmaCann Option”) to acquire 473,787 shares of Class A Common Stock of PharmaCann, Inc. (“PharmaCann”), a vertically integrated cannabis company in the United States, at an exercise price of $ 0.0001 per share, representing approximately 10.5 % of PharmaCann’s issued and outstanding capital stock on a fully diluted basis as of the date of the PharmaCann Option, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $ 110,392 . The PharmaCann Option is classified as an investment in an equity security without a readily determinable fair value. The Company measures the PharmaCann Option at cost less accumulated impairment charges, if any, and subsequently adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s ownership percentage in PharmaCann on a fully diluted basis was approximately 3.4 % and 5.8 %, respectively. The decrease in ownership percentage in the first quarter of 2025 was the result of the exercise of a convertible note by a PharmaCann shareholder unrelated to Cronos. The decrease in the Company’s ownership percentage since acquisition does not materially affect the Company’s rights under the PharmaCann Option. The net book value of the PharmaCann Option was zero as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company identified adverse forecast changes in the financial performance of PharmaCann as indicators of impairment related to the PharmaCann Option and conducted an analysis comparing the PharmaCann Option’s carrying amount to its estimated fair value. The fair value was estimated using the market approach. Under the market approach, the key assumptions are the selected multiples and the discount for lack of marketability. As a result of the analysis, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $ 12,734 in the first quarter of 2024, as the difference between the carrying amount of the PharmaCann Option and its estimated fair value, in the condensed consolidated statements of net loss and comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
The Company may sell, transfer or dispose of the PharmaCann Option without PharmaCann’s prior written consent, subject to the following conditions : (i) any transferee of any part of the PharmaCann Option must comply with and commit to comply with all regulations issued by a governmental entity applicable to such transferee in all material respects; (ii) any transferee of any part of the PharmaCann Option must agree to be bound by the terms of the Option Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 14, 2021 (the “Option Purchase Agreement”), as a “Purchaser” thereunder; (iii) the Company may not split and/or transfer the PharmaCann Option, in the aggregate, to more than four persons (with certain exceptions); (iv) no transferee may be a Prohibited Assignee (as defined in the Option Purchase Agreement); and (v) subject to certain exceptions, in the event that the Company (or a Permitted Transferee of the whole PharmaCann Option) transfers less than all of the PharmaCann Option to any third party that is not a Permitted Transferee, certain governance and information rights terminate immediately, unless waived by the PharmaCann board of directors in its sole and absolute discretion.
Additionally, in the event of an initial underwritten public offering of PharmaCann’s common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement, to the extent that holders of PharmaCann common stock are subject to any lock-up period imposed by the underwriter in connection therewith, the Company will, if applicable, execute a customary lock-up agreement on the same material terms and conditions as the other holders of common stock are subject to or as otherwise agreed between PharmaCann and the Company, subject to certain conditions with respect to the duration of the lock-up period.

Cronos GrowCo Credit Facility
On August 23, 2019, the Company, as lender, and Cronos GrowCo, as borrower, entered into a senior secured credit agreement for an aggregate principal amount of C$ 100,000 (the “GrowCo Credit Facility”). The GrowCo Credit Facility is secured by substantially all present and after-acquired personal and real property of Cronos GrowCo. In August 2021, the GrowCo Credit Facility was amended to increase the aggregate principal amount available to C$ 105,000 . During the three months ended March 31, 2024, Cronos GrowCo repaid C$ 1,667 ($ 1,231 ) in principal and paid C$ 1,943 ($ 1,435 ) in interest related to the GrowCo Credit Facility.
In June 2024, the GrowCo Credit Facility was amended to increase the aggregate principal amount available by C$ 70,000 by providing a second secured non-revolving credit facility (“Term Loan B”). The funds from Term Loan B will be used to expand Cronos GrowCo’s purpose-built cannabis facility and Term Loan B will mature 10 years after the commencement of sales from the Phase 2 Expansion Area. Principal will be repaid under Term Loan B on a quarterly basis after the commencement of sales from the Phase 2 Expansion Area. Interest on Term Loan B is payable on a quarterly basis until maturity beginning after the first borrowing under Term Loan B. Prior to July 1, 2024, only C$ 12,000 of the C$ 70,000 increased principal availability could be drawn, which Cronos GrowCo drew in full on June 20, 2024.
As a result of the Cronos GrowCo Transaction on July 1, 2024, the existing loans receivable under the GrowCo Credit Facility were remeasured at their fair value and effectively settled. See Note 2 “ Business Combination ” for further information regarding the Cronos GrowCo Transaction.

Mucci Promissory Note
On June 28, 2019, the Company entered into a promissory note receivable agreement (the “Mucci Promissory Note”) for C$ 16,350 (approximately $ 11,360 ) with the Cronos GrowCo joint venture partner (“Mucci”). The Mucci Promissory Note is secured by a general security agreement covering all the assets of Mucci. Prior to July 1, 2022, interest accrued on the Mucci Promissory Note was capitalized as part of the principal balance. On September 30, 2022, the Mucci Promissory Note was amended and restated to increase the interest rate from 3.95 % to the Canadian Prime Rate plus 1.25 %, change the interest payments from quarterly to annual, and defer Mucci’s initial cash interest payment from September 30, 2022 to July 1, 2023. On June 20, 2024, the Mucci Promissory Note was amended and restated. As a result, interest accrued on the Mucci Promissory Note between July 1, 2023 and July 1, 2024 was capitalized as part of the principal balance. As of July 1, 2024, interest is accrued and to be paid in cash beginning on July 1, 2025. For both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, there were no repayments of principal or interest on the Mucci Promissory Note.
Cannasoul Collaboration Loan
The Company holds a variable interest in Cannasoul Lab Services Ltd. (“CLS”). CLS is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cannasoul Analytics Ltd., which is in the process of establishing a commercial cannabis analytical testing laboratory (the “Cannasoul Laboratory”) located on the premises of Cronos Israel (the “Cannasoul Collaboration”). Cronos Israel agreed to advance up to ILS 8,297 ($ 2,231 ) by a non-recourse loan (the “Cannasoul Collaboration Loan”) to CLS over a period of two years from April 1, 2020 for the capital and operating expenditures of the Cannasoul Laboratory. The Cannasoul Collaboration Loan bears interest at 3.5 % annually. Cronos Israel will receive 70 % of the profits of the Cannasoul Laboratory until such time as it has recovered 150 % of the amounts advanced to CLS, after which time it will receive 50 % of the Cannasoul Laboratory profits. As a result, the Company is exposed to economic variability from CLS’s performance. The Company does not consolidate CLS as it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; thus, the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of the entity. The carrying amount of the Cannasoul Collaboration Loan is recorded under loans receivable and the full loan amount, ILS 8,297 , represents the Company’s maximum potential exposure to losses through the Cannasoul Collaboration.
As of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, CLS has received ILS 8,297 (approximately $ 2,231 and $ 2,272 , respectively), from the Cannasoul Collaboration Loan.

8. Restructuring
In the first quarter of 2022, the Company initiated a strategic plan to realign the business around its brands, centralize functions and evaluate the Company’s supply chain (the “Realignment”). As part of the Realignment, on February 28, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved plans to leverage the Company’s strategic partnerships to improve supply chain efficiencies and reduce manufacturing overhead by exiting its production facility in Stayner, Ontario, Canada (the “Peace Naturals Campus”). On February 27, 2023, the Board approved revisions to the Realignment, under which the Company is maintaining select components of its operations at the Peace Naturals Campus, namely distribution warehousing, certain research and development activities and manufacturing of certain of the Company’s products. In the third quarter of 2023, the Board approved revisions to the Realignment to wind-down operations at Cronos Fermentation, list the Cronos Fermentation Facility for sale, and implement additional organization-wide cost reductions as the Company continues its Realignment initiatives. In the first quarter of 2025, the Company continued its Realignment initiatives to transform its IT infrastructure and finance departments to drive long-term cost efficiencies, improve cross-functional collaboration, and support global scalability. These actions include leadership transitions, consolidation of certain roles, and assessment of, and investment in, critical IT infrastructure. The Realignment initiatives are intended to position the Company to drive profitable and sustainable growth over time.
On November 26, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with Future Farmco Canada Inc. for the sale and leaseback of the Peace Naturals Campus. This agreement was subsequently terminated pursuant to its terms during the second quarter of 2024. The Company plans to continue and expand operations at the Peace Naturals Campus.
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company ceased operations at Cronos Fermentation and performed an assessment under ASC 360 Property, Plant and Equipment of the recoverability of the carrying value of the Cronos Fermentation assets, and determined the carrying value of the assets was not fully recoverable. The fair value was estimated using a combination of the market and income approaches. As a result of this analysis, an impairment loss on long-lived assets of $ 1,631 was recorded to the condensed consolidated statements of net loss and comprehensive loss in the three months ended March 31, 2024. In addition, the Cronos Fermentation assets were classified as held-for-sale in the first quarter of 2024 and continue to be classified as held-for-sale as of March 31, 2025.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company incurred $ 555 restructuring costs in connection with the Realignment. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred $ 83 of restructuring costs in connection with the Realignment. Charges related thereto include employee-related costs such as severance and other termination benefits, as well as other related costs.

(a) Commitments
There have been no material changes in the information regarding commitments as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report.
(b) Contingencies
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business and in connection with its marketing, distribution and sale of its products. Many of these legal proceedings are in the early stages of litigation and seek damages that are unspecified or not quantified. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe these legal proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition but could be material to its results of operations for a quarterly period depending, in part, on its results for that quarter.

(i) Class action complaints relating to restatement of 2019 interim financial statements
On March 11 and 12, 2020, two alleged shareholders of the Company separately filed two putative class action complaints in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York against the Company and its Chief Executive Officer and former Chief Financial Officer. The court consolidated the cases, and the consolidated amended complaint alleges violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5, promulgated thereunder, against all defendants, and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the individual defendants. The consolidated amended complaint generally alleges that certain of the Company’s prior public statements about revenue and internal controls were incorrect based on the Company’s disclosures relating to the Audit Committee of the Board’s review of the appropriateness of revenue recognized in connection with certain bulk resin purchases and sales of products through the wholesale channel. The consolidated amended complaint does not quantify a damage request. The defendants moved to dismiss on February 8, 2021. On November 17, 2023, the court entered an order granting the motion and dismissed the case with prejudice. On December 1, 2023, the shareholder plaintiffs sought reconsideration of the dismissal, requesting that the court instead dismiss the action without prejudice and permit the plaintiffs to seek leave to further amend the complaint. On December 3, 2024, the Court issued an opinion and order granting the plaintiffs’ motion for reconsideration, and on January 10, 2025, the plaintiffs filed a second amended class action complaint. The defendants are moving to dismiss the second amended class action complaint.
On June 3, 2020, an alleged shareholder filed a Statement of Claim, as amended on August 12, 2020, in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, seeking, among other things, an order certifying the action as a class action on behalf of a putative class of shareholders and damages of an unspecified amount. The Amended Statement of Claim named (i) the Company, (ii) its Chief Executive Officer, (iii) former Chief Financial Officer, (iv) former Chief Financial Officer and Chief Commercial Officer, and (v) current and former members of the Board as defendants and alleged breaches of the Ontario Securities Act, oppression under the Ontario Business Corporations Act and common law misrepresentation. The Amended Statement of Claim generally alleged that certain of the Company’s prior public statements about revenue and internal controls were misrepresentations based on the Company’s March 2, 2020 disclosure that the Audit Committee of the Board was conducting a review of the appropriateness of revenue recognized in connection with certain bulk resin purchases and sales of products through the wholesale channel, and the Company’s subsequent restatement. The Amended Statement of Claim did not quantify a damage request. On June 28, 2021, the Court dismissed motions brought by the plaintiff for leave to commence a claim for misrepresentation under the Ontario Securities Act and for certification of the action as a class action. The plaintiff appealed the Court’s dismissal of the motions only with respect to the Company, the Chief Executive Officer, and the now former Chief Financial Officer; the remaining defendants were dismissed from the matter with prejudice and the Company and all individual defendants agreed not to seek costs from plaintiff in connection with the dismissal of the motions. On September 26, 2022, the Court of Appeal for Ontario reversed the Superior Court’s dismissal of the leave and certification motions, granted the plaintiff leave to proceed to bring a claim for misrepresentation under the Ontario Securities Act, and remitted the certification motion back to the Superior Court. On April 11, 2023, the plaintiff filed a Fresh as Amended Statement of Claim, which reflected the dismissal of the defendants for which an appeal was not sought, the removal of the claims for oppression under the Ontario Business Corporations Act and common law misrepresentation, as well as shortening the proposed class period. On October 10, 2023, the Superior Court certified the action on behalf of a class of persons or entities who acquired shares in the secondary market, including on the TSX and Nasdaq, during the period from May 9, 2019 to March 30, 2020, other than certain excluded persons.
(ii) Regulatory reviews relating to restatements
On October 24, 2022, the Company announced regulatory settlements as follows:
SEC Settlement
On October 24, 2022, the SEC issued an Order Instituting Cease-and-Desist Proceedings Pursuant to Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21(c) of the Exchange Act, Making Findings, and Imposing a Cease-and-Desist Order (the “Settlement Order”) resolving the restatements of our 2019 and 2021 interim financial statements (the “Restatements”).
The Company agreed to settle with the SEC, without admitting or denying the allegations described in the Settlement Order. The Settlement Order fully and finally disposed of the investigation of the Company by the SEC into the Restatements without the payment of any civil penalty or other amount.
The Settlement Order required the Company to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, Sections 10(b), 13(a), 13(b)(2)(B) of the Exchange Act and Rules 10b-5, 13a-13, 13a-15(a), 13a-16 and 12b-20 thereunder.
As a result of the Settlement Order, the Company (i) lost its status as a well-known seasoned issuer for a period of three years, (ii) is unable to rely on the private offering exemptions provided by Regulations A and D under the Securities Act for a period of five years and (iii) is unable to rely on the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for a period of three years.

OSC Settlement
On October 24, 2022, the Ontario Capital Markets Tribunal approved a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) between the Company and the staff of the Ontario Securities Commission (the “OSC”), resolving the Restatements.
Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, which fully and finally disposed the investigation of the Company by the OSC, Cronos agreed to pay a total of C$ 1.34 million to fully settle the matter, and acknowledged that it had failed to comply with the requirement under Section 77 of the Ontario Securities Act to file interim financial reports in the manner set out therein and had acted in a manner contrary to the public interest.
(iii) Litigation and regulatory inquiries relating to marketing, distribution, import and sale of products
On April 17, 2023, a group of plaintiffs led by the Green Leaf (Ale Yarok) political party filed a Statement of Claim and Request for Approval of a Class Action on behalf of a purported class of Israeli cannabis consumers in the District Court of Tel Aviv, Israel, against 26 cannabis-related parties, including three Cronos Israel entities. The Statement of Claim alleges that the defendants violated certain laws relating to the marketing of medical cannabis products, including marketing to unlicensed cannabis consumers. The lawsuit seeks a total of ILS 420 million. The Cronos Israel defendants moved to dismiss the action on August 13, 2023. The court granted the motion (and similar motions filed by other defendants) on May 16, 2024, dismissing the plaintiffs’ petition for class certification without prejudice and their individual claims with prejudice, and ordering the plaintiffs to pay ILS 10 thousand to each of the defendants for costs. On July 14, 2024, the plaintiffs appealed to the Supreme Court of Israel seeking to overturn both the dismissal of plaintiffs’ individual claims and the award of costs. The appeal is pending.
On January 18, 2024, the Company was notified that the Trade Levies Commissioner of the Israel Ministry of Economy and Industry initiated a public investigation of alleged dumping of medical cannabis imports from Canada into Israel. On July 9, 2024, the Commissioner announced a preliminary determination proposing to impose an anti-dumping duty on Canadian licensed producers. Under the proposal, the Company would have been subject to a proposed duty of 369%. The Commissioner determined not to impose a provisional duty at that time pending the conclusion of the Ministry’s investigation. The Company responded to requests for information from the Ministry. On November 10, 2024, the Trade Levies Commissioner published final findings under which the Company would be subject to a proposed duty of 175%. The Commissioner’s findings were then evaluated by an ad hoc advisory committee. On December 12, 2024, the Minister of Economy announced a conflict of interest and recused himself from the evaluation of whether to impose a duty. On April 10, 2025, notwithstanding the previous recusal, the Minister of Economy approved a duty of up to 165% on imports of cannabis from Canada, including the Company’s imports. On April 25, 2025, the Minister of Finance released a memorandum opposing the imposition of the duty, which acted as a veto of the Minister of Economy’s approval. On April 29, 2025, the Minister of Economy released a memorandum stating that notwithstanding the veto, he intends to proceed with the process of imposing the duty. A provisional duty is not being imposed at this time. The Company cannot predict further proceedings or determinations of the Ministers of Economy or Finance, or the Finance Committee of the Knesset and cannot predict whether a duty will ultimately be imposed on its products.
On July 25, 2024, a group of cannabis cultivators filed an administrative petition in the District Court of Jerusalem, Israel, against the Trade Levies Commissioner and certain Israeli and Canadian businesses. The administrative petition sought a court order requiring the Trade Levies Commissioner to impose a temporary duty on cannabis imported from Canada during the pendency of the investigation until the date on which a final determination is made by the Ministry of Economy whether to impose a duty. On September 9, 2024, the Company filed a motion to join the litigation; the court granted the Company’s motion on September 23, 2024. On February 6, 2025, the court dismissed the administrative petition.
We expect litigation and regulatory proceedings relating to the marketing, distribution, import and sale of our products to increase.

11. Segment Information
Segment reporting is prepared on the same basis that the CODM manages the business, makes operating decisions and assesses the Company’s performance. The CODM is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Company operates as a single segment with the purpose of providing high-quality cannabis products to adult-use, wholesale, and medical market customers globally. The consolidated results are regularly reviewed by the CODM to assess the performance of the Company’s single segment operations and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources. The CODM reviews adjusted earnings (loss) before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) as the measure of segment profit or loss to evaluate performance of and allocate resources for its reportable segment. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and non-cash items and items that do not reflect management’s assessment of ongoing business performance. The CODM believes Adjusted EBITDA provides the most useful insight into underlying business trends and results and provides a more meaningful comparison of period-over-period results. In addition, certain significant expenses are regularly reviewed by the CODM and considered for business decisions and allocation of resources; these significant expenses include: sales and marketing, research and development, general and administrative, depreciation and amortization, and share-based compensation expense, which are presented within operating expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). Furthermore, the CODM regularly reviews total cash and short-term investments to aid in capital allocation decisions.

15. Subsequent Events
(a) Share Repurchase Authorization
On May 7, 2025, the Board authorized a share repurchase program of up to $ 50 million. The share repurchase program is expected to commence on May 14, 2025 and terminate on May 13, 2026, unless earlier terminated. Repurchases under the program may be made from time to time, either through open market purchases at then-prevailing market prices through the facilities of the NASDAQ Global Market or other U.S. published markets, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Open market repurchases will not exceed 19,270,951 common shares, being 5 % of the outstanding common shares as of May 7, 2025. The timing and amount of repurchases are subject to market conditions, compliance with applicable laws and regulations and any other factors management of the Company may deem relevant. The program does not obligate Cronos to acquire any specific dollar amount or number of shares and may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time.
All shares repurchased under this program will be retired and cancelled upon settlement. As a result, the repurchased shares will be removed from issued and outstanding share capital, reducing the number of shares outstanding. The value of the retired shares will be charged against share capital and additional paid in capital and, if necessary, to retained earnings, in accordance with ASC 505-30. The Company intends to fund repurchases using available cash resources.
