April 17, 2025 07:00 ET  | Source: Tilray Brands, Inc. NEW YORK and LEAMINGTON, Ontario, April 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tilray Brands, Inc. (“Tilray” or “Company”) (Nasdaq: TLRY; TSX: TLRY), a global lifestyle and consumer packaged goods company at the forefront of beverage, cannabis and wellness industries, today announced a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) on June 10, 2025. The Special Meeting will be held via live audio webcast, which can be accessed on the investor page on Tilray.com. At the Special Meeting, stockholders will be asked to vote for an amendment of the Company’s Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, in order to implement a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock at a ratio ranging from 1-to-10 to 1-to-20 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The exact ratio within this range will be determined by the Board of Directors, without reducing the authorized number of shares of our common stock. Irwin D. Simon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Tilray Brands, said, “The Reverse Stock Split will better align Tilray’s number of shares outstanding with companies of our size and scope. A higher price per share would ensure compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing requirements and places Tilray in a position to continue executing on our strategic plans. Looking ahead, we expect this decision to aid in the Company’s efforts to stabilize trading levels, attract and retain institutional shareholders, and decrease our cost structure by over $1 million on an annual run rate basis. The fundamentals of our company remain intact, and we are confident that we have the right strategy and team to deliver long-term value for our shareholder base.” The Company also expects to achieve cost savings from the Reverse Stock Split, which would reduce the Company’s expenditures associated with Tilray’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Tilray’s Financial Structure During the fiscal year 2025 to date, Tilray reduced its total debt outstanding by approximately $76 million. Consequently, net debt to trailing twelve-months Adjusted EBITDA is less than 1.0x. As of our most recent quarter ended February 28, 2025, Tilray’s balance sheet had a cash and marketable securities balance of over $248 million, which provides the Company with financial strength and flexibility to pursue strategic opportunities and accretive acquisitions.

Use of Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures, including cash and marketable securities and net debt. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented provide useful additional information to investors about current trends in the Company's operations and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of operations. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures. In addition, these non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation and items being excluded. They should be read only in connection with the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) before income tax benefits, net; interest expense, net; non-operating income (expense), net; amortization; stock-based compensation; change in fair value of contingent consideration; purchase price accounting step-up; impairments, other than temporary change in fair value of convertible notes receivable, project 420 optimization costs facility start-up and closure costs; litigation costs; restructuring costs, and transaction (income) costs, net. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, has been provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release. Cash and marketable securities are comprised of two GAAP measures, cash and cash equivalents added to marketable securities. The Company’s management believes that this presentation provides useful information to management, analysts and investors regarding certain additional financial and business trends relating to its short-term liquidity position by combing these two GAAP metrics. Net debt is comprised of GAAP measures and reduces bank indebtedness, current and non-current portions of long-term debt, the principal balance of convertible debt by cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. The company believes this metric provides useful information to management, analysts, and investors regarding its liquidity and the Company’s ability to repay all of its debt.
