Tilray Brands Reports Surprise Profit and Record Revenue in First Quarter
Tilray Brands reported better-than-expected results for its first quarter of fiscal year 2026, posting net income of $1.5 million and adjusted net profit of $3.9 million. This marks a turnaround from a loss of $6.1 million in the same period last year.
Net revenue for the quarter reached a record $210 million, a 5% increase from the previous year. Growth was helped by a 12% rise in Canadian adult-use cannabis sales and a 10% boost in international cannabis revenue. Operational efficiencies improved, with adjusted EBITDA rising 9% to $10 million, and the company reduced its net cash used in operations by $34 million compared to last year.
Tilray's results exceeded market expectations, causing its stock to jump as much as 15% after the announcement. The company also strengthened its balance sheet by lowering its debt.
However, some analysts noted that much of the revenue growth came from acquisitions and currency gains, rather than from expanding the core cannabis business. Tilray currently has limited exposure to the U.S. cannabis market.
