Key Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2022

Net revenue:
- Compared to the prior period, net revenue increased 83% to $45.5 million, from $24.9 million in Q4 Fiscal 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in adult-use recreational revenue, partly offset by lower average net selling price ("ASP") due to product mix and a decrease in medical revenue.
- For Fiscal 2022, net revenue increased 84% to $145.8 million from $79.2 million in the previous year primarily due to an increase in recreational and international revenue, partially offset by a decrease in medical sales.

Cost of sales:
- Q4 Fiscal 2022 cost of sales increased to $36.7 million, from $25.9 million in Q4 Fiscal 2021, primarily as a result of the increase in sales volume in the adult-use recreational market.

- Adjusted EBITDA was $3.5 million for Fiscal 2022, compared to negative $27.6 million in Fiscal 2021.
- The improvement in quarterly and annual results is primarily attributable to the increase in adjusted gross margins due to the higher volume of products sold and lower production costs.

Net loss:
- Q4 Fiscal 2022 net loss was $6.1 million, compared to a net loss of $26.0 million in Q4 Fiscal 2021.
- In Fiscal 2022, net loss was $14.3 million, compared to $130.7 million in Fiscal 2021.
- The quarterly and annual decrease in net loss is primarily due to the increased revenues, lower production costs and a decrease in inventory provisions and unabsorbed overheads.

Net cash used in operating activities:
- Q4 Fiscal 2022 net cash used in operating activities was $19.7 million, compared to $7.7 million in Q4 Fiscal 2021.
- In Fiscal 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $36.2 million, compared to $28.6 million in Fiscal 2021.
- The year over year increase to cash used in operating activities is primarily due to the higher working capital needs resulting from the growth in revenues.

Canadian Recreational Market Introductions

SHRED Dankmeister XL Bong Blends

Launched in July 2022, SHRED Dankmeister is a new offering in the popular SHRED milled flower line up that provides a coarser grind to suit bong and pipe smokers.

Sour Blue Razzberry

An addition to the SHRED'ems gummy line in an electrifying sour raspberry flavour with a 2:1 ratio of CBD to THC. There are now eight SHRED'ems SKUs in market.

Holy Mountain

Launched subsequent to quarter-end, HOLY MOUNTAIN, the Company's newest value brand, features an initial lineup of dried flower strains along with value pressed hash. With the introduction of HOLY MOUNTAIN, Organigram now offers value-priced flower in an expanded range of sizes, starting with 3.5 gram offerings at launch.

Research and Product Development

Product Development Collaboration ("PDC") and Centre of Excellence ("CoE")

The Organigram and BAT CoE has completed all key spaces including the R&D Laboratories, enhanced Analytics, Quality Assurance and Control laboratory, GPP production space, Sensory Testing Laboratory and state-of-the-art Biolab for advanced plant science research. The CoE has undertaken initial stage development and safety studies on first generation edibles and novel beverages as part of its work. As part of the development, the CoE has created and assessed numerous delivery systems and created over 60 unique formulations to develop differentiated products in the future.

Plant Science, Breeding and Genomics R&D in Moncton

Organigram's cultivation program; a key strategic advantage for the Company has continued its expansion with the addition of a dedicated cultivation R&D space. The new space has accelerated rapid assessment and screening, delivering 20-30 unique cultivars every two months while freeing up rooms for commercial grow. The Plant Science team continues to move the garden towards unique, high terpene and high THC, in-house grown cultivars, while also leveraging the newly commissioned Biolab for ongoing plant science innovation focusing on quality, potency and disease-resistance marker discovery to enrich the future flower pipeline.

International

In Fiscal Q4 2022, the Company completed three international shipments totaling $6.0 million to Israel and Australia. In Fiscal 2022, seven international shipments were made for total shipped sales of $15.4 million.
Recent political changes and cannabis election ballot initiatives for medical and recreational use in the United States suggest that the potential movements to U.S. federal legalization of cannabis (THC) remain difficult to predict. The Company continues to monitor and develop a potential U.S. entry strategy that could include THC, CBD and other minor cannabinoids. The Company is also monitoring recreational legalization opportunities in European jurisdictions based on the size of the addressable market and recent regulatory changes with a particular focus on Germany.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On August 31, 2022, the Company had unrestricted cash and short-term investments balance of $99 million compared to $184 million at August 31, 2021. The decrease in cash of $85 million was the result of the following: $49 million invested in capital expenditures across three facilities, $8 million in cash consideration towards the acquisition of Laurentian Organics Inc. ("Laurentian"), $3 million investment into Hyasynth Biologicals with the balance related to supporting the increase in the working capital assets.
For Fiscal 2022 the Company has budgeted $29 million in capital expenditures for the three facilities. This spend would relate to the completion of the expansion at the Laurentian operations and also include automation investments at the Winnipeg edibles and Moncton flower facilities.
Organigram believes its capital position is healthy and that there is sufficient liquidity available for the near to medium term.

Outlook⁷

Net revenue

Organigram currently expects Fiscal 2023 revenue to be higher than that of Fiscal 2022. This expectation is largely due to ongoing sales momentum, stronger forecasted market growth, the Company's expanded product line in multiple segments, greater capacity to meet demand at the Moncton Campus, increased throughput at the Winnipeg facility and contributions from the Lac-Supérieur facility.
In addition, the anticipated continuation of shipments to Canndoc in Israel and Cannatrek and Medcan in Australia is expected to generate higher sequential revenue in Fiscal 2023 as compared to Fiscal 2022. The Company believes it is better equipped to fulfill demand in Fiscal 2023 with larger harvests expected compared to Fiscal 2022. In addition, on November 17, 2022, the Company entered into a new multi-year agreement with Canndoc that contemplates shipping up to 20,000 kilograms of dried flower.

Adjusted gross margins⁸

The Company expects to see an improvement in adjusted gross margins in Fiscal 2023 and has put measures in place that it expects will further improve margins over time.
The overall level of Fiscal 2023 adjusted gross margins versus Fiscal 2022 will also be dependent on other factors, including product category and brand sales mix.
Organigram has identified the following opportunities which it believes have the potential to further improve adjusted gross margins over time:
- Economies of scale and efficiencies gained as a result of moving from an annual capacity of 45,000 to 85,000 kilograms of dry flower at the Moncton facility, in addition to enhanced growing and harvesting methodologies, and design and environmental improvements, which have resulted in higher-quality flower and improved yields;
- Expansion of the Lac-Supérieur facility which is expected to increase capacity for annual hash production from 1 million to over 2 million units;
- Continued investment in automation at all three sites, which will drive cost efficiencies and reduce dependence on manual labor;
- Revitalization of the Edison brand, including product innovation, packaging and post harvest processing and increased investment in building brand equity within the premium segment, geared toward securing higher margins;
- Additional innovative product launches to support other key brands: SHRED, Monjour, Holy Mountain and Tremblant to create new potential avenues for growth; and
- Full-year margin contribution from the Laurentian acquisition.

Adjusted EBITDA

The Company expects significant growth in Adjusted EBITDA in Fiscal 2023 over Fiscal 2022.

Cash flow

The Company expects to have positive cash flows from operating activities during Fiscal 2023 and positive free cash flows ("FCF") during calendar 2023.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This news release refers to certain financial performance measures (including adjusted gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA) that are not defined by and do not have a standardized meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Non-IFRS financial measures are used by management to assess the financial and operational performance of the Company. The Company believes that these non-IFRS financial measures, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, enable investors to evaluate the Company's operating results, underlying performance and prospects in a similar manner to the Company's management. As there are no standardized methods of calculating these non-IFRS measures, the Company's approaches may differ from those used by others, and accordingly, the use of these measures may not be directly comparable. Accordingly, these non-IFRS measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure that the Company defines as net income (loss) before: financing costs, net of investment income; income tax expense (recovery); depreciation, amortization, reversal of/or impairment, (gain) loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment (per the statement of cash flows); share-based compensation (per the statement of cash flows); share of loss from investments in associates and impairment loss from loan receivable; change in fair value of contingent consideration; change in fair value of derivative liabilities; expenditures incurred in connection with research & development activities (net of depreciation); unrealized (gain) loss on changes in fair value of biological assets; realized loss on fair value on inventories sold and other inventory charges; provisions and impairment of inventories and biological assets; provisions to net realizable value of inventories; COVID-19 related charges; government subsidies; legal provisions; incremental fair value component of inventories sold from acquisitions; transaction costs; and share issuance costs. Adjusted EBITDA is intended to provide a proxy for the Company's operating cash flow and derive expectations of future financial performance for the Company, and excludes adjustments that are not reflective of current operating results.

Adjusted gross margin is a non-IFRS measure that the Company defines as net revenue less cost of sales, before the effects of (i) unrealized gain (loss) on changes in fair value of biological assets; (ii) realized fair value on inventories sold and other inventory charges; (iii) provisions and impairment of inventories and biological assets; (iv) provisions to net realizable value; (v) COVID-19 related charges; and (vi) unabsorbed overhead relating to underutilization of the production facility and equipment, most of which is related to non-cash depreciation expense. Management believes that this measure provide useful information to assess the profitability of our operations as it represents the normalized gross margin generated from operations and excludes the effects of non-cash fair value adjustments on inventories and biological assets, which are required by IFRS.

The most directly comparable measure to Adjusted EBITDA, calculated in accordance with IFRS is net income (loss) and beginning on page 4 of this press release is a reconciliation to such measure. The most directly comparable measure to adjusted gross margin calculated in accordance with IFRS is gross margin before fair value changes to biological assets and inventories sold and beginning on page 5 of this press release is a reconciliation to such measure.
