What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting

SNDL reported CAD 235.8m in Q2 net revenue with a 23.9% gross margin, marking a -3.7% YoY decline. Despite negative cash flow CAD 30.2m, free cash flow improved to CAD -6.7m, and the company remains debt-free with CAD 183.2m in unrestricted cash. The major catalysts are the Parallel restructuring completion and the potential direct control of Parallel’s U.S. medical cannabis operations, plus regulatory developments that could unlock tax relief via SunStream exposure.
