Three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

(Amounts reflected in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts)

Note 1 Nature of Operations

Aurora Cannabis Inc. (the “Company” or “Aurora”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on December 21, 2006 as Milk Capital Corp. Effective October 2, 2014, the Company changed its name to Aurora Cannabis Inc. The Company’s shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) and the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the trading symbol “ACB”, and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (“FSE”) under the trading symbol “21P1”.

•Production, distribution and sale of medical and consumer cannabis products in Canada pursuant to the Cannabis Act;

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Audit Committee of the Company on November 5, 2024.

Note 2 Material Accounting Policies and Judgments

(a) Basis of Presentation and Measurement

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), and International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars and are prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies, critical estimates and methods described in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements, except for the adoption of new accounting policies (Note 2(d)). Given that certain information and footnote disclosures, which are included in the annual audited consolidated financial statements, have been condensed or excluded in accordance with IAS 34, these condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our annual audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2024, including the accompanying notes thereto.

(b) Basis of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the operating results of acquired or disposed entities from the date control is obtained or the date control is lost, respectively. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.

The Company’s principal subsidiaries during the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 are as follows:

(Amounts reflected in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts)

The Company reports financial results for discontinued operations separately from continuing operations to distinguish the financial impact of disposal transactions from ongoing operations. Discontinued operations reporting occurs when the disposal of a component or a group of components of the Company represents a strategic shift that will have an impact on the Company’s operations and financial results, and where the operations and cash flows can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the Company.

The results of discontinued operations are excluded from both continuing operations and business segment information in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, unless otherwise noted, and are presented net of tax in the condensed consolidated interim statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) for the current and comparative periods. Refer to Note 6(b) Discontinued Operations.

(d) Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current

The amendment clarifies the requirements relating to determining if a liability should be presented as current or non-current in the statement of financial position. Under the new requirement, the assessment of whether a liability is presented as current or non-current is based on the contractual arrangements in place as at the reporting date and does not impact the amount or timing of recognition. The amendment applies retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. The Company has applied the amendments effective April 1, 2024, retrospectively and it did not impact the classification of current or non-current liabilities.

(e) New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

The following IFRS standards have been recently issued by the IASB. Pronouncements that are irrelevant or not expected to have a significant impact have been excluded.

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements

IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements, replaces IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, including for interim financial statements with retrospective application. IFRS 18, introduces a specified structure for the income statement by requiring income and expenses to be presented into the three defined categories of operating, investing and financing, and by specifying certain defined totals and subtotals.

Where company-specific measures related to the income statement are provided, IFRS 18 requires companies to disclose explanations around these measures, which are referred to as management defined performance measures. IFRS 18 also provides additional guidance on principles of aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and the notes. IFRS 18 will not affect the recognition and measurement of items in the financial statements, nor will it affect which items are classified in other comprehensive income and how these items are classified. The Company is currently assessing the effect of this new standard on its financial statements.

In June 2024, the Company made a formal decision to exit from its operations in Uruguay that are operated through its wholly-owned subsidiary ICC Labs Inc. (“ICC”). Accordingly, ICC’s property, plant and equipment were reclassified to assets held for sale and its lease liability of $1.3 million was classified as liabilities held for sale.

On October 8, 2024, the Company entered into an Asset Sale Agreement for the sale of the majority of ICC’s property, plant and equipment in Uruguay. As at September 30, 2024, the Company is in advanced discussions to sell the remaining assets and liabilities held for sale by way of a share sale of ICC’s wholly owned operating subsidiary. As a result, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $11.6 million during the six months ended September 30, 2024 to record the assets held for sale at their fair value less costs to sell. ICC was previously included in the Cannabis operating segment. The impairment was recorded to net loss from discontinued operations on the interim consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

Note 11 Share-Based Compensation

At the Company’s Annual General and Special Meeting held on November 13, 2017 (“2017 AGM”), shareholders approved the adoption of the Option Plan, the Restricted Share Unit Plan (the “RSU Plan”), the Deferred Share Unit Plan (the “DSU Plan”) and the Performance Share Unit Plan (the “PSU Plan”), together the “Share-based Compensation Plans”, which were subsequently amended and approved by shareholders at the Company’s Annual General and Special Meeting held on August 9, 2024 (“2024 AGM”). The amendments include reducing the Share-based Compensation Plans from 10.0% “rolling” plan to 9.5% “rolling” plan, and therefore, the number of Common Shares issuable under all Share based Compensation Plans cannot exceed 9.5% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares and a rolling limit for all full value award plans of the Company of 5.0%, which includes RSU, PSU and DSU plans.

(a) Stock Options

The Option Plan amendments provides the right for directors, officers, employees and consultants to purchase shares at a specified price (exercise price) in the future. The stock options have a service requirement of three years and are amortized on an accelerated basis over that period and expire after five years.

(b) Restricted Share Units (“RSU”)

The RSU Plan was designed to provide certain executive officers and other key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries with the opportunity to acquire RSUs of the Company in order to enable them to participate in the long-term success of the Company and to promote a greater alignment of their interests with the interests of the shareholders. Under the terms of the RSU Plan, officers, employees and consultants of the Company may be granted RSUs that are released as Common Shares upon completion of the vesting period. Each RSU gives the participant the right to receive one common share of the Company. The RSUs have a service requirement of three years and are amortized on an accelerated basis over that period and expire after three years.

A summary of the RSUs outstanding are as follows:


			RSUs

Balance, September 30, 2024			833,124

During the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, RSU expense of $1.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively (three and six months ended September 30, 2023 – $2.1 million and $3.4 million, respectively) was recognized in share-based compensation on the condensed consolidated interim statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

Under the terms of the Company’s 2024 DSU Plan, non-employee directors of the Company may be granted DSUs. Each non-employee director is entitled to redeem their DSUs for period of 90 days following their termination date, being the date of their retirement from the Board. The DSUs can be redeemed, at the Company’s sole discretion, for (i) cash; (ii) Common Shares issued from treasury; (iii) common shares purchased in the open market; or (iv) any combination of the foregoing. DSUs vest immediately upon grant and have no expiry date.

(d) Performance Share Units (“PSUs”)

Under the terms of the Company’s 2024 PSU Plan, officers, employees and consultants of the Company may be granted PSUs that are released as Common Shares or are paid in cash to the participant equal to the market price of common shares on the entitlement date multiplied by the number of performance share units being settled. In each case upon the 3-year cliff vesting date the performance shares units are subject to performance conditions multiplied by the achieved performance ratio. If the performance criteria are not met at the time of vesting the PSU will be deemed as expired. The PSUs have a three years cliff vesting structure and are amortized on a straight line basis over the three year period and expire after three years.

(Amounts reflected in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts)

During the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized a total PSU expense of $1.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively (three and six months ended September 30, 2023 – $1.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively) in share-based compensation on the condensed consolidated interim statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

PSUs granted during the respective periods highlighted below were fair valued based on the following weighted average assumptions:


	Three months ended September 30,			Six months ended September 30,
	2024		2023	2024		2023
Risk-free annual interest rate (1)	3.54	%	n/a	3.75	%	4.76	%

Equity correlation against peer group (4)	39.90	%	n/a	38.73	%	39.14	%

(1)The risk-free rate is based on Canada government bonds with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the PSUs.

(2)Volatility was estimated by using the 20-day VWAP historical volatility of Aurora and the peer group of companies.

(3)The expected life in years represents the period of time that the PSUs granted are expected to be outstanding.

(4)The equity correlation is estimated by using 1-year historical equity correlations for the Company and the peer group of companies.

The weighted average fair value of PSUs granted during the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 was $10.77 and $10.92 per unit, respectively (three and six months ended September 30, 2023 – $11.14 per unit and $11.14 per unit).

(e) Cash Settled DSUs and PSUs

During the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued DSU’s and PSU’s which will be settled in cash, pursuant to the Performance Share Unit and Restricted Share Unit Long-Term Cash Settled Plan and Non-Employee Directors Deferred Share Unit Cash Plan, respectively. The DSUs and PSUs issued under these plans are included in the continuities above.

The DSUs subject to cash settlement are classified as a derivative liability in the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position and are initially measured at fair value. DSUs are issued in recognition of past service for Directors and are expensed immediately at fair value to share-based compensation expense in the condensed consolidated interim statements of loss and comprehensive loss. The DSUs are remeasured each reporting period with the difference recorded to share-based compensation expense. Upon settlement, the DSU’s are remeasured and the derivative liability is extinguished at the remeasured amount. As at September 30, 2024, the related derivative liability was $2.3 million (March 31, 2024 - $1.2 million).

The PSUs subject to cash settlement are classified as a derivative liability in the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position. They are initially measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The PSUs have a service requirement of three years and are amortized ratably over that period. The PSUs are remeasured at fair value each reporting period with the change in value reflected in share-based compensation expense. As at September 30, 2024, the related derivative liability was $1.9 million (March 31, 2024 - $0.6 million).

Note 14 Commitments and Contingencies

(a)Claims and Litigation

From time to time, the Company and/or its subsidiaries may become defendants in legal actions and the Company intends to take appropriate action with respect to any such legal actions, including by defending itself against such legal claims as necessary. Other than the claims described below, as of the date of this report, Aurora is not aware of any other material or significant claims against the Company.

On November 21, 2019, a purported class action proceeding was commenced in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against the Company and certain of its current and former directors and officers on behalf of persons or entities who purchased, or otherwise acquired, publicly traded Aurora securities between October 23, 2018 and February 6, 2020. The parties have received preliminary approval of a $8 million settlement, which will be covered by insurance.

On June 16, 2020, the Company and its subsidiary, ACE, were named in a purported class action proceeding in the Province of Alberta in relation to the alleged mislabeling of cannabis products with inaccurate THC/CBD content. The class action involved a number of other parties including Aleafia Health Inc., Hexo Corp, Tilray Canada Ltd., among others. The plaintiffs have filed a Discontinuance of Claim for this matter, as such, this claim is no longer active.

On June 15, 2020, a claim was filed with the King's Bench of Alberta by a party to a former term sheet against Aurora and a former officer alleging a claim of breach of obligations under said term sheet, with the plaintiff seeking $18.0 million in damages. While this matter is ongoing, the Company believes the action to be without merit and intends to defend the claim.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

(Amounts reflected in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts)

suffered losses as a result of Aurora releasing statements containing misrepresentations during the period of September 11, 2019 and December 21, 2019. Plaintiff and Defendant have each prepared factums for a leave application. Prior to the hearing, Defendants filed a request for adjournment and leave to amend their pleadings. The amended Statement of Claim was filed on March 8, 2024. The Company has filed a motion to strike the amendment. The Company’s motion to strike will be heard the week of November 18, 2024. The Company disputes the allegations and intends to vigorously defend against the claims. Estimating an amount or range of possible losses resulting from litigation proceedings is inherently difficult, particularly where the matters involve indeterminate claims for monetary damages and are in the stages of the proceedings where key factual and legal issues have not been resolved. For these reasons, the Company is currently unable to predict the ultimate timing or outcome of or reasonably estimate the possible losses or a range of possible losses resulting from the matter described above.

On January 4, 2021, a civil claim was filed with the King’s Bench of Alberta against Aurora and Hempco by a former landlord regarding unpaid rent in the amount of $8.9 million, representing approximately $0.4 million for rent in arrears and costs, plus $8.5 million for loss of rent and remainder of the term. The Company filed a statement of defence on March 24, 2021. Plaintiffs brought an Application seeking summary judgment as against the Company and the Company has filed Affidavit evidence in response. Cross-examinations for the Company’s affiants and for Plaintiff’s affiant have been completed. While this matter is ongoing, the Company intends to continue to defend against the claims.

On November 15, 2022, the Company, its subsidiary ACE, and MedReleaf Corp. (which amalgamated with ACE in July 2020) were named in a purported class action proceeding in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. The purported class action claims that the Company failed to warn of certain risks purported to be associated with the consumption of cannabis. While this matter is ongoing, the Company intends to continue to defend against the claims.

The Company is subject to litigation and similar claims in the ordinary course of our business, including claims related to employment, human resources, product liability and commercial disputes. The Company has received notice of, or are aware of, certain possible claims against us where the magnitude of such claims is negligible, or it is not currently possible for us to predict the outcome of such claims, possible claims or lawsuits due to various factors including: the preliminary nature of some claims; an incomplete factual record; and the unpredictable nature of opposing parties and their demands. Management is of the opinion, based upon legal assessments and information presently available, that it is unlikely that any of these claims would result in liability to the Company, to the extent not provided for through insurance or otherwise, would have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements, other than the claims described above.

In respect of the aforementioned claims, as at September 30, 2024 the Company has recognized total provisions of nil (March 31, 2024 – $2.3 million) in provisions on the condensed consolidated interim statements of financial position.

(b)Commitments

The Company has various lease commitments related to various office space, production equipment, vehicles, facilities and warehouses expiring up to June 2033. The Company has certain leases with optional renewal terms that the Company may exercise at its option.

In addition to lease liability commitments disclosed in Note 18(b) and loans and borrowing repayments in Note 8, the Company has $2.9 million in future capital commitments and purchase commitments payments, which are due over the next 12 months.

The change during the six months ended September 30, 2024 of $8.0 million is recorded in deficit in the condensed consolidated interim statements of changes in equity.

Note 18 Financial Instruments Risk

The Company is exposed to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board mitigates these risks by assessing, monitoring and approving the Company’s risk management processes.

(a)Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of a potential loss to the Company if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company is moderately exposed to credit risk from its cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and lease receivable. The risk exposure is limited to their carrying amounts reflected on the condensed consolidated interim statements of financial position. The risk for cash and cash equivalents is mitigated by holding these instruments with highly rated Canadian financial institutions. Certain restricted funds in the amount of $39.7 million are retained by an insurer under the Segregated Accounts Companies Act governed by the Bermuda Monetary Authority. As the Company does not invest in asset-backed deposits or investments, it does not expect any credit losses. The Company periodically assesses the quality of its investments and is satisfied with the credit rating of the financial institutions and the investment grade of its Guaranteed Investment Certificates (“GICs”).

The Company provides credit to certain customers in the normal course of business and has established credit evaluation and monitoring processes to mitigate credit risk. Credit risk is generally minimal for receivables from government bodies, which generally have low default risk. Credit risk for non-government customers is assessed on a case-by-case basis and a provision is recorded where required. As of September 30, 2024, $25.0 million of accounts receivable, net of allowances, are from non-government wholesale customers (March 31, 2024 – $22.8 million).

As at September 30, 2024, three customers made up 10% or more of trade accounts receivable (March 31, 2024 – two customers).

(Amounts reflected in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts)

As at September 30, 2024, the provision for estimated credit losses is $1.3 million (March 31, 2024 – $1.3 million). During the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company wrote off nil and nil, respectively (three and six months ended September 30, 2023 – $0.5 million and $3.2 million, respectively) and recognized an expense for the three and six months ended of $0.2 million and nil, respectively (three and six months ended September 30, 2023 – expense of $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively) recorded in the condensed consolidated interim statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

The Company’s aging of trade receivables, net was as follows:


	September 30, 2024	March 31, 2024

Capital commitments(2)	2,858	2,858	—	—	—
	188,847	103,909	25,840	10,804	48,294

(1)Includes interest payable until maturity date.

(2)Relates to remaining commitments that the Company has made to vendors for equipment purchases and capital projects pertaining to existing construction.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations associated with its financial liabilities when they are due. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure and resources to ensure that it has sufficient liquidity to settle obligations and liabilities when they are due. Our ability to fund our operating requirements depends on future operating performance and cash flows, which are subject to economic, financial, competitive, business and regulatory conditions, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. Our primary short-term liquidity needs are to fund our net operating losses, capital expenditures to maintain existing facilities, short and long-term loans and borrowings and lease payments. Our medium-term liquidity needs primarily relate to lease payments and our long-term liquidity needs primarily relate to potential strategic plans.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company has access to the following capital resources available to fund operations and obligations:

•$84.9 million cash and cash equivalents; and

•access to the 2023 Shelf Prospectus (as defined below). The Company currently has access to securities registered for sale under the 2023 Shelf Prospectus currently covering U.S.$650.0 million of issuable securities. Of the U.S.$650.0 million of securities registered under the 2023 Shelf Prospectus and corresponding registration statement on form F-10 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in the U.S., approximately U.S.$225.3 million is allocated to the potential exercise of currently outstanding warrants issued in financing transactions from 2022. Following the closing of the bought deal offering on October 3, 2023 and the expiration of warrants during the year approximately U.S.$396.4 million is available for potential new issuances of Common Shares, warrants, options, subscription receipts, debt securities or any combination thereof during the 25-month period that the 2023 Shelf Prospectus remains effective. Volatility in the cannabis industry, stock market and the Company’s share price may impact the amount and our ability to raise financing under the 2023 Shelf Prospectus.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

Three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

(Amounts reflected in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share amounts)

Based on all of the aforementioned factors, the Company believes that its reduction of operating costs, current liquidity position, and access to the 2023 Shelf Prospectus are adequate to fund operating activities and cash commitments for investing, financing and strategic activities for the foreseeable future. In addition, the Company could access restricted cash of $62.3 million relating to its self-insurance policy, if necessary.

Business Overview

Aurora was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on December 21, 2006 as “Milk Capital Corp.” Effective October 2, 2014, the Company changed its name to “Aurora Cannabis Inc.”. The Company’s shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) and the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the trading symbol “ACB”, and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (“FSE”) under the trading symbol “21P”.

The Company’s head office and principal address is 2207 90B St. SW Edmonton, Alberta, Canada T6X 1V8. The Company’s registered and records office address is Suite 1700, 666 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 2X8.

The Company’s principal strategic business lines are focused on the production, distribution and sale of cannabis and cannabis-derivative products in Canada and internationally, and the propagation of vegetables and ornamental plants in North America.

The Company’s primary cannabis market opportunities are:

•Global medical cannabis market: Development, production, distribution and sale of pharmaceutical-grade cannabis products in countries around the world where permitted by government legislation. Currently, there are approximately 50 countries that have implemented regimes for some form of access to cannabis for medical purposes. The Company’s current principal medical markets are in Canada, Germany, United Kingdom, Poland, and Australia. Aurora has established a leading market position in most of these countries; and

•Global consumer use cannabis market: Currently, only two countries have implemented federally-regulated consumer use of cannabis regimes and the Company’s current consumer market is in Canada. Longer term, the Company believes that the increasing success of medical cannabis regimes globally may lead to increased legalization of consumer markets.

On February 7, 2024, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company acquired the remaining interest of 90.43% in Indica Industries Pty Ltd. (“MedReleaf Australia”) an Australian domiciled company, for a purchase price of $44.7 million (AUS$51.0 million).

Our Strategy

Aurora’s strategy is to leverage our diversified and scaled platform, our leadership in global cannabis medical markets, and our cultivation, science and genetics expertise and capabilities to drive profitability and cash flow in our core Canadian and international operations in order to build sustainable, long-term shareholder value. We believe our key strength to delivering on our strategy is through our highly experienced leadership team and dedicated workforce.

Medical leadership

Our established leadership in the Canadian and international medical markets positions us well for new regulated medical market openings, as

well as the potential U.S. federal legalization of medical cannabis. At the core of Aurora’s near-term objective to deliver sustainable profitability and positive operating cash flow is our focus on maintaining and growing our industry leading Canadian and international medical cannabis operations.

Our Canadian medical platform is characterized by leading market share, high barriers to entry through regulatory expertise, investment in technology and distribution, and an unwavering commitment to science, testing and compliance. Our Canadian medical operations allow for a direct-to-patient sales channel that does not rely on provincial wholesalers or private retailers to get product to patients. This direct-to-patient model allows Aurora to achieve sustainable gross profit margins of better than 60% with substantially better pricing power relative to the Canadian adult-use segment.


3 \| AURORA CANNABIS INC.			Q2 2025 MD&A

Our leadership in the International medical cannabis segment provides us with what we expect to be a high growth, profitable business segment that consistently delivers strong adjusted gross profit before fair value adjustments1. Our expertise in managing the complexity of multiple jurisdictions’ regulatory frameworks and relationships, as well as providing export and in-country EU GMP (European Union Good Manufacturing Practices) and other key certificated cannabis production, are capabilities that we believe will allow us to succeed as new medical and recreational markets open.

Consumer

Leveraging our leading strength in science, cultivation and post-harvest processing, Aurora is working to build a sustainable and profitable Canadian consumer business. Advances in Aurora cultivar breeding yielding unique proprietary genetics coupled with operational advancements in cultivation, and post-harvest techniques have repositioned the Aurora flower portfolio to one that has the characteristics that consumers are looking for: high THC and terpene levels, and distinctive experiences. These advances have also driven significant improvements in per unit production costs with higher yields and consistent delivery of specification resulting in all-in per unit costs for Aurora’s new portfolio that are a 30% or better improvement from our legacy cultivars. We believe this economic advantage will allow us to compete and make a profit in the most attractive and highest growth categories in the Canadian consumer market. We have also refocused our innovation pipeline for efficient delivery of targeted new products and line extensions. The pace of innovation required to compete in the current Canadian consumer market is significant, with most new products delivering 80% of their lifetime value in the nine months following launch.

Combined, Aurora’s ability to deliver products that deliver exceptional customer value in our targeted market segments, while at the same time achieving favorable contribution and gross margins, allows us to build towards a profitable and growing business and provides the know-how to leverage these lessons into future global consumer markets that are expected to open over the next few years.

Science leadership: Genetics and Breeding

We believe that our scientific leadership and ongoing investment in cannabis breeding and genetics provides Aurora with a strong competitive advantage in premium margin consumer and medical categories driven by what we believe to be our industry leading genetics and breeding program. Our breeding program, located at Aurora Coast, a state-of-the-art facility in Vancouver Island’s Comox Valley, is driving revenues by injecting rotation and variety into our product pipeline and has delivered 22 new proprietary cultivars, grown at scale in our own internal network, to our product pipeline since June 2021. These new cultivars have consistently delivered high potency flower with intensely aromatic profiles – critical attributes to delight consumers and deliver the effects patients are seeking.

Most recently, we have expanded the global reach of a number of our cultivars – launching Cosmic Cream, Black Jelly, Pink Diesel for patient access in the United Kingdom. We have also launched three new products for our Canadian Medical channel: Esprit de Corps, Frosted Alpine and Noculus, each offering a unique set of aroma and potency traits sought by our patients.

In addition, these high quality and high potency cultivars continue to drive meaningful improvements in yield, improving output of our sites and continuing to drive down costs. In selecting Aurora’s “next-generation” cultivars, we are able to set substantially higher minimum thresholds for yield which continue to drive up our overall production using the same cultivation footprint, improving our cultivation efficiency over time in both indoor and outdoor applications. This pipeline is a key competitive advantage for Aurora, creating a sustainable means for driving productivity of high-quality products.

Looking to the future, we continue to build what we believe is an industry-leading knowledge base with an intellectual property portfolio to capture the value of this investment. Our team of scientists at Coast have now characterized a number of traits around cannabinoid profile, aroma, disease resistance, and autoflowering, and created marker-assisted selection tools to rapidly screen our populations to drive further improvements in our breeding program. We believe that this expertise continues to set Aurora apart from our competitors and raises the bar on cannabis breeding globally.

Global and U.S. expansion

We believe that the global expansion of cannabis medical and recreational markets is just beginning. The Company believes its strengths in navigating complex regulatory environments, compliance, testing, cultivar breeding, genetic science, and cultivating high quality cannabis are essential strengths that create a repeatable, credible and portable process to new market development. These drive our current leadership in international medical markets which should allow us to win as new medical markets emerge and potentially transition to recreational markets. For instance, Aurora is active in all key European medical cannabis markets, including Germany, Poland, UK, France, Switzerland, Czech Republic and Malta. The Company holds a top three position in the flower segment in each market and is overall the leading medical cannabis company in Europe. In Germany, Aurora is one of three active in-country producers of medical cannabis and has just received its production and R&D license under the new cannabis law. With this, the Company is in a strong position to serve all medical markets in Europe and for any upcoming pilot projects for recreational cannabis.

We also believe that the U.S. cannabis market will eventually be federally regulated, with states’ rights respected, in a framework similar to every other comparable market. The timeframe for this is unknown, but Aurora is well positioned to create significant value for our shareholders once that federal permissibility allows. Our strategic strengths of medical and regulatory expertise in a federal framework, and our scientific expertise, including genetics and breeding, position us as a partner of choice, and to be successful in lucrative components of the cannabis value chain.

4 \| AURORA CANNABIS INC.			Q2 2025 MD&A

With the acquisition of the remaining 90% equity interest of Indica Industries Pty Ltd. (“MedReleaf Australia”), the Company now sells directly into Australia. MedReleaf Australia is a leading distributor of medical cannabis products in Australia and is expanding sales into New Zealand.

Plant Propagation

With the acquisition of Bevo Agtech Inc. (“Bevo”) in August 2022, Aurora moved into the adjacent segment of plant propagation. Building on Bevo’s established record of profitable and positive cash flow, Aurora is accelerating the growth of the plant propagation business segment through the repurposing of Aurora Sky and Aurora Sun, which will open additional geographic regions for the existing propagation business, as well as allowing entry into the higher gross margin orchid business, one which is currently served in North America by lower-quality imports.

Financial leadership in a rapidly maturing industry

Aurora believes that profitable growth, positive cash flow, smart capital allocation and balance sheet health are critical success factors in such a dynamic and rapidly developing global industry. Our medical businesses, with country diversification, growth, and strong gross margins provide the foundation for profitability. Aurora has right sized selling, general & administration costs (“SG&A”), centralized and optimized production facilities, and leveraged the Company’s cultivar breeding success to shift the Company’s portfolio in the Canadian consumer business to products with higher gross margins.

Aurora has one of the strongest balance sheets in the Canadian cannabis industry with approximately $151.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, inclusive of restricted cash, as at September 30, 2024 and access to a shelf prospectus filed on April 27, 2023 (the “2023 Shelf Prospectus”) currently covering U.S.$650.0 million of issuable securities. Of the U.S.$650.0 million of securities registered under the 2023 Shelf Prospectus and corresponding registration statement on form F-10 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in the U.S., approximately U.S.$225.3 million is allocated to the potential exercise of currently outstanding warrants issued in financing transactions from 2022. As result, following the closing of the bought deal financing on October 3, 2023, approximately U.S.$396.4 million is available for potential new issuances of Common Shares, warrants, options, subscription receipts, debt securities or any combination thereof during the 25-month period that the 2023 Shelf Prospectus remains effective. Volatility in the cannabis industry, the stock market and the Company’s share price may impact our ability to raise, and the amount of any, financing under the 2023 Shelf Prospectus.

Cash used in operating activities from continuing operations during the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $24.3 million compared to cash provided by of $8.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and cash used of $27.7 million during three months ended September 30, 2023. The Company continues to focus its operating cash use to deliver sustainable positive free cash flow2. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, free cash outflow was $26.4 million, which includes a working capital investment of $29.6 million.

Condensed Statements of Loss

This MD&A reflects only the results of continuing operations, unless otherwise noted.

The condensed consolidated interim statements of loss and comprehensive loss and condensed consolidated interim statements of cash flows for the previously reported Growery, Nordic, Reliva and ICC Labs Inc. (“ICC”), all formerly part of the Cannabis operating segment are presented as discontinued operations, separate from the Company’s continuing operations. Certain prior period financial information on the condensed consolidated interim statements of loss and comprehensive loss and the condensed consolidated interim statements of cash flows have been updated to present Growery, Nordic, Reliva and ICC as discontinued operations, and has therefore been excluded from both continuing operations and results for all periods presented in this MD&A.

The results from discontinued operations included in the condensed consolidated interim statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 was a loss of $14.6 million and $14.3 million, respectively, compared to a loss of $2.6 million and $10.7 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

Operating Activities

The Company continues to focus on growth opportunities that are also expected to deliver profit and positive cash flow.

Subsequent to the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company sold the majority of the assets and related liabilities comprising its operations in Uruguay that are operated through its wholly-owned subsidiary ICC. ICC is presented as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated interim statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

On July 25, 2024, the Company announced that it was granted two licenses by the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM) under Germany's new Medical Cannabis Act (MedCanG), granting the Company continued domestic cultivation and will allow the Company to cultivate an approved additional product and expand offerings in Germany.

Medical Cannabis Net Revenue

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, total medical cannabis net revenue was $61.3 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 of $47.2 million, and $43.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, representing an increase of $14.1 million and $17.8 million, respectively. The increase over the comparative periods is primarily attributable to international medical cannabis sales in Europe and Australia.

Canadian medical cannabis net revenue remained relatively consistent during the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, and the three months ended September 30, 2023.

International medical cannabis net revenue was $35.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $20.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and $18.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase of $15.0 million and $16.9 million, respectively, is largely due to (i) increased sales in Germany as a result of de-schedulization, (ii) increased permits in Poland, and (iii) increased sales in United Kingdom and Australia. Similarly, this is reflected in the increase of $21.1 million during the six months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2023.

During the six months ended September 30, 2024, total medical cannabis net revenue was $108.5 million, an increase of $23.7 million compared to $84.8 million during the six months ended September 30, 2023, with most of the increase occurring during the three months ended September 30, 2024 due to the increase in European and Australian sales noted above.

Canadian medical cannabis net revenue increased by $2.6 million to $53.4 million during the six months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2023. The slight increase is primarily due to higher sales to both insurance and non-insurance covered patients as a result of additional product offerings.

Consumer Cannabis Net Revenue

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, consumer cannabis net revenue decreased to $10.4 million compared to $11.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and $12.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease over both periods was due to the Company’s focus on portfolio optimization and prioritization of sales to the higher margin medical businesses.

During the six months ended September 30, 2024, consumer cannabis net revenue decreased to $22.0 million compared to $25.1 million during the six months ended September 30, 2023. Consumer cannabis net revenue declined as the Company shifted its focus to portfolio optimization and allocation of cannabis flower to Aurora’s highest margin business segments.

Plant Propagation Revenue

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s plant propagation revenue was $8.6 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 of $23.1 million and $7.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease over the prior quarter is due to the seasonality of the Bevo business, which delivers higher revenue in the late winter and spring months as orders are fulfilled. Historically, approximately 65-75% of plant propagation revenue has been earned in the first half of the calendar year. The increase over the three months ended September 30, 2023 is a result of organic growth and increased product offerings, both arising from increased capacity.

During the six months ended September 30, 2024 and six months ended September 30, 2023, plant propagation revenue was $31.7 million and $27.1 million, respectively. The increase is a result of organic growth and increased product offerings, namely orchids.

Gross margin before fair value adjustments was 48% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 36% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 29% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The improvement quarter over quarter is due to purposeful evolution of the channel mix through increasing participation of the medical market channel which has higher adjusted gross margin before fair value adjustments than the consumer channel and to efficiencies in production cost. The increase compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 is largely driven by inventory management improvement with lower net inventory impairments, provisions, and destruction charges on cannabis inventory as the Company’s supply is fully allocated to sales channels with minimal excess production.

Gross margin before fair value adjustments was 42% for the six months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 24% for the six months ended September 30, 2023. The improvement is a result of a sourcing change, with Europe being supplied by Canada and the related positive impact of closing the Nordic production facility, higher efficiencies in production operations and improved channel and product mix, relative to the comparative period.

Excluding the plant propagation business, the medical cannabis business delivered 92% of the adjusted gross profit before fair value adjustments for the three months ended September 30, 2024 (three months ended June 30, 2024 – 92%, three months ended September 30, 2023 – 89%).


9 \| AURORA CANNABIS INC.			Q2 2025 MD&A

Adjusted gross margin before fair value adjustments on medical cannabis net revenue was 68% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 69% in three months ended June 30, 2024, and 63% in three months ended September 30, 2023. The adjusted gross margin before fair value adjustments has improved from the comparative prior periods due larger participation on revenue from high margin markets, sustainable cost reductions, and improved efficiency in production operations, including shifting sourcing for Europe from Canada due to the closure of the Company’s Nordic production facility.

Consumer Cannabis Adjusted Gross Margin

Adjusted gross margin before fair value adjustments on consumer cannabis net revenue was 14% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 24% in three months ended June 30, 2024 and 27% in three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in adjusted gross margin before fair value adjustments from the comparative periods is due to higher fixed overhead costs allocated to the consumer channel as a result of lower volumes manufactured for products sold by the consumer channel. The Company strategically decided to allocate less internally produced cannabis for the consumer channel in favor of increasing its overall cannabis allocation for both its domestic and international medical channels.

Plant Propagation Adjusted Gross Margin

Adjusted gross margin before fair value adjustments on plant propagation revenue was 19% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 18% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 22% in three months ended September 30, 2024. The fluctuations in the plant propagation adjusted gross margin before fair value adjustments is due to the seasonal timing of lower margin product revenue and ramp up of the orchid business.

During the six months ended September 30, 2024, G&A expense remained relatively consistent compared to the six months ended September 30, 2023. The slight increase is attributable to incremental costs following the acquisition of MedReleaf Australia.

Sales and marketing (“S&M”)

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, S&M expense decreased by $0.3 million to $13.7 million compared to three months ended June 30, 2024 and increased by $1.1 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase over the prior year comparative quarter is attributable to incremental costs following the acquisition of MedReleaf Australia.

During the six months ended September 30, 2024, S&M expense increased by $2.5 million to $27.7 million compared to the six months ended September 30, 2023. The increase is due to freight and logistics costs, notably from sales to Europe with the increase in sourcing from Canada with the closure of Nordic and incremental costs following the acquisition of MedReleaf Australia.

Research and development (“R&D”)

The Company’s investment in R&D and product innovation is partly opportunistic and its approach to R&D spend is targeted and gated. As such these costs will vary quarter over quarter and year over year.

Depreciation and amortization

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, depreciation and amortization expense increased by $0.3 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 and decreased by $1.6 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 relates to facility disposals and asset impairment charges previously recognized.

During the six months ended September 30, 2024, depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $2.3 million compared to the prior year. This decrease is primarily due to facility disposals, closures and asset impairment charges recognized in the prior year.

Share-based compensation

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, share-based compensation expense increased by $1.4 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 and remained unchanged compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase compared to prior quarter is due to an increase in fair value adjustments for cash settled instruments and a result of the Company’s annual share-based grants occurring in late June each year.

During the six months ended September 30, 2024, share-based compensation expense remained relatively consistent compared to the six months ended September 30, 2023.

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, other income decreased by $3.8 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, mainly due to a decrease in other gains of $3.5 million as a result of a gain on the sale of marketable securities and an insurance premium refund included in the comparative period.

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, other income decreased by $8.4 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The comparative period includes a reversal of a provision for $12.4 million in other gains. The provision was established to account for uncertainty regarding eligibility of the government grant that was expeditiously rolled out in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Other income for the six months ended September 30, 2024 was $9.8 million compared to $5.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023. The increase of $4.1 million is primarily due to a reduction in finance costs of $5.4 million related to the extinguishment of the convertible debentures and foreign exchange gains, partially offset by the reversal of the $12.4 million provision included in other gains in the comparative period.

Net Income (Loss)

Net income from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $1.7 million compared net income of $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and net income of $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

The decrease in net income of $3.2 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 primarily relates to a decrease in gross profit of $2.4 million and an increase in operating expenses of $0.9 million, partially offset by a decrease in other income of $3.8 million.


13 \| AURORA CANNABIS INC.			Q2 2025 MD&A

Adjusted EBITDA was $10.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The improvement over the prior periods is from an increase in gross profit before fair value adjustments resulting from higher net revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA was $15.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024 compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $5.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023. The improvement is primarily due to an increase in gross profit before fair value adjustments, partially offset by higher Adjusted SG&A resulting from higher freight and logistics costs, notably from sales to Europe with the increase in sourcing from Canada and incremental costs following the acquisition of MedReleaf Australia.

During the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company primarily financed its operations, capital expenditures and growth initiatives through the generation of net revenue, working capital and cash on hand. For more information on key cash flows related to operations, investing and financing activities during the quarter, refer to the “Cash Flow Highlights” discussion below.

The Company’s objective when managing its liquidity and capital resources is to maintain sufficient liquidity to support financial obligations when they come due, while executing operating and strategic plans. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure and resources to ensure that it has sufficient liquidity to settle obligations and liabilities when they are due. Our ability to fund our operating requirements depends on future operating performance and cash flows, which are subject to economic, financial, competitive, business and regulatory conditions, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. Our primary short-term liquidity needs are to fund our net operating losses and capital expenditures to maintain existing facilities, loans and borrowings repayments and lease payments. Our medium-term liquidity needs primarily relate to lease payments and our long-term liquidity needs primarily relate to potential strategic plans.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company has access to the following capital resources available to fund operations and obligations:

•$84.9 million cash and cash equivalents; and

•access to the 2023 Shelf Prospectus (as defined below). The Company currently has access to securities registered for sale under the 2023 Shelf Prospectus currently covering U.S.$650.0 million of issuable securities. Of the U.S.$650.0 million of securities registered under the 2023 Shelf Prospectus and corresponding registration statement on form F-10 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in the U.S., approximately U.S.$225.3 million is allocated to the potential exercise of currently outstanding warrants issued in financing transactions from 2022. Following the closing of the bought deal financing on October 3, 2023 and the expiration of warrants during the year ended March 31, 2024, approximately U.S.$396.4 million is available for potential new issuances of Common Shares, warrants, options, subscription receipts, debt securities or any combination thereof during the 25-month period that the 2023 Shelf Prospectus remains effective. Volatility in the cannabis industry, stock market and the Company’s share price may impact the amount and our ability to raise financing under the 2023 Shelf Prospectus.

Excluding changes in non-cash working capital and discontinued operations, cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $5.3 million compared to cash used in operations of $12.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The improvement of $18.2 million is a combination of increased net revenue and improved profit margin.

Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $3.6 million compared to $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, is largely comprised of purchases of property plant and equipment for both periods.

Compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, the decrease of $32.9 million is primarily due to a $29.6 million investment in working capital in the current quarter compared to a $10.7 million recovery of working capital in the prior quarter. The investment in working capital during the current quarter includes annual payments for insurance premiums and employee bonuses. Compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, the decrease in the free cash outflow of $3.0 million primarily relates to higher net revenue and contribution margin, partially offset by an increase in the investment of working capital of $14.8 million.

Free cash outflow was $19.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024 compared to an outflow of $41.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023. The improvement of $21.2 million relates primarily to higher net revenue and improved contribution margin over the current period, slightly offset with a higher investment in working capital of $7.9 million.

Contingencies

On November 21, 2019, a purported class action proceeding was commenced in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against the Company and certain of its current and former directors and officers on behalf of persons or entities who purchased, or otherwise acquired, publicly traded Aurora securities between October 23, 2018 and February 6, 2020. The parties have filed for preliminary approval of a settlement, which will be covered by insurance.

On June 15, 2020, a claim was filed with the King's Bench of Alberta by a party to a former term sheet with the King's Bench of Alberta against Aurora and a former officer alleging a claim of breach of obligations under said term sheet, with the plaintiff seeking $18.0 million in damages. While this matter is ongoing, the Company believes the action to be without merit and intends to defend the claim.

On August 10, 2020, a purported class action lawsuit was filed with the King's Bench of Alberta against Aurora and certain executive officers in the Province of Alberta on behalf of persons or entities who purchased, or otherwise acquired, publicly traded Aurora securities and suffered losses as a result of Aurora releasing statements containing misrepresentations during the period of September 11, 2019 and December 21,

2019. Plaintiff and Defendant have each prepared factums for a leave application. Prior to the hearing, Defendants filed a request for adjournment and leave to amend their pleadings. The amended Statement of Claim was filed on March 8, 2024. The Company has filed a motion to strike the amendment. The Company’s motion to strike will be heard the week of November 18, 2024. The Company disputes the allegations and intends to vigorously defend against the claims. Estimating an amount or range of possible losses resulting from litigation proceedings is inherently difficult, particularly where the matters involve indeterminate claims for monetary damages and are in the stages of the proceedings where key factual and legal issues have not been resolved. For these reasons, the Company is currently unable to predict the ultimate timing or outcome of or reasonably estimate the possible losses or a range of possible losses resulting from the matter described above.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

As at the date of this MD&A, the Company has $0.9 million letters of credit outstanding with the Bank of Montreal. There are no other material off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on the financial performance or financial condition of the Company.

The Creditor Agreement was for a total loan of $5.0 million and bears interest at a rate of 14.0% per annum. The principal and accrued interest are due on May 31, 2025. The Company advanced funds of $2.5 million, which is eliminated upon consolidation.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the Financial Statements under IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.


17 \| AURORA CANNABIS INC.			Q2 2025 MD&A

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods, if the revision affects both current and future periods.

There have been no changes in the Company’s critical accounting estimates during the three and six months ended September 30, 2024. For additional information on the Company’s accounting policies and key estimates, refer to the note disclosures in the annual consolidated financial statements and MD&A as at and for the year ended March 31, 2024.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

The following IFRS standards have been recently issued by the IASB. Pronouncements that are irrelevant or not expected to have a significant impact have been excluded.

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements

Financial Instruments Risk

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Company’s board of directors mitigates these risks by assessing, monitoring and approving the Company’s risk management processes.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of a potential loss to the Company if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company is moderately exposed to credit risk from its cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and loans receivable. The risk exposure is limited to their carrying amounts reflected on the condensed consolidated interim statements of financial position. The risk for cash and cash equivalents is mitigated by holding these instruments with highly rated Canadian financial institutions. Certain restricted funds in the amount of $39.7 million are retained by an insurer under the Segregated Accounts Companies Act governed by the Bermuda Monetary Authority. As the Company does not invest in asset-backed deposits or investments, it does not expect any credit losses. The Company periodically assesses the quality of its investments and is satisfied with the credit rating of the financial institutions and the investment grade of its Guaranteed Investment Certificates (“GICs”). The Company mitigates the credit risk associated with the loans receivable by managing and monitoring the underlying business relationship.

The Company provides credit to certain customers in the normal course of business and has established credit evaluation and monitoring processes to mitigate credit risk. Credit risk is generally limited for receivables from government bodies, which generally have low default risk. Credit risk for non-government customers is assessed on a case-by-case basis and a provision is recorded where required. As of September 30, 2024, $25.0 million of accounts receivable, net of allowances, are from non-government wholesale customers (March 31, 2024 – $22.8 million).

As at September 30, 2024, three customers made up 10% or more of trade accounts receivable (March 31, 2024 – two customers).


18 \| AURORA CANNABIS INC.			Q2 2025 MD&A

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations associated with its financial liabilities when they are due. The Company’s objective is to manage liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure and resources to ensure that it has sufficient liquidity to settle obligations and liabilities when they are due, while executing on its operating and strategic plans. Refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of this MD&A for detailed discussion.

PFIC Risk

Generally, if for any taxable year 75% or more of the Company’s gross income is passive income, or at least 50% of the average quarterly value of the Company’s assets are held for the production of, or produce, passive income, the Company would be characterized as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Based on the current profile of the Company’s gross income, gross assets, the nature of its business, and its anticipated market capitalization, the Company believes that it may have been a PFIC for the 2023 taxable year. While it has not made a determination of expected PFIC status for the current taxable year, there is a risk that it may be a PFIC in the current taxable year and in the foreseeable future. Because PFIC status is determined on an annual basis and generally cannot be determined until the end of the taxable year, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be a PFIC for the current or future taxable years. If the Company is characterized as a PFIC, the Company’s shareholders who are U.S. holders may suffer adverse tax consequences, including the treatment of gains realized on the sale of the Common Shares as ordinary income, rather than as capital gain. A U.S. holder may be able to make a "qualified electing fund" election (a “QEF Election”) or, alternatively, a "mark-to-market" election that could mitigate the adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences that would otherwise apply to such U.S. holder. Upon request of a U.S. holder, the Company intends to provide the information necessary for a U.S. Holder to make applicable QEF Elections

Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (“DC&P”) designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s annual filings, interim filings and other reports filed or submitted by it under securities laws is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately and in the time periods specified under such securities laws, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its certifying officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As at September 30, 2024, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company’s DC&P were not effective as at that date as a result of the material weaknesses identified as at March 31, 2024.

Changes to Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In compliance with reporting obligations, management is in the process of assessing the effectiveness of ICFR pertaining to the Indica Industries Pty Ltd. (MedReleaf Australia) business unit acquired on February 7, 2024, to be concluded upon as part of the ICFR assessment for the fiscal period ending March 31, 2025. Management, with oversight from the Audit Committee, also continues to implement remediation measures related to the material weaknesses as at March 31, 2024, with a focus on reducing the reliance on manual review procedures over data and information in key business processes, enhancement of IT systems and leveraging automated controls, providing training to control owners and hiring additional resources where appropriate, and enhancement to business processes and controls as the Company continues to mature its processes.


21 \| AURORA CANNABIS INC.			Q2 2025 MD&A

Aside from these initiatives and the identified material weaknesses resulting from this work and testing of controls as described in management’s assessment of ICFR below, no changes to the Company’s ICFR occurred during the quarter that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, the Company’s ICFR.

Management’s Assessment on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In accordance with National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings and as required by Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-5(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as amended, management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate ICFR. The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, has designed ICFR based on the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO Framework”) to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.

ICFR is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. ICFR has inherent limitations. ICFR is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. ICFR also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by ICFR. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

Management has concluded that material weaknesses in the Company’s ICFR continue to exist as identified and described in the Company’s annual report and disclosures for the period ending March 31, 2024.

Process Level Control Activities: The Company did not consistently execute and document sufficiently precise management review controls over key assumptions, estimates and period cut-off controls over payable accruals, as well as controls over review of data inputs, completeness of data entry, and the accuracy of mathematical formulas within spreadsheets. This deficiency impacts property, plant & equipment, biological assets and inventory, goodwill and impairment, purchase price accounting, accounts payable, and financial statement close processes.

Insufficient Segregation of Duties and Personnel at Bevo Agtech Inc.: Specific to the Bevo Agtech Inc. business component and due to both staffing limitations resulting in lack of segregation of duties and limited experience of personnel in key roles in implementing and performing ICFR, the Company had an aggregation of pervasive deficiencies across IT General Controls as well as business processes including manual journal entries, treasury and cash management, payroll, production and inventory, revenue and receivables, and financial reporting processes.

Remediation Plan

Management, with oversight from the Audit Committee will continue to implement remediation measures related to the identified material weaknesses, with a continued focus on reducing the reliance on manual review procedures over data and information in key business processes, providing training to control owners, hiring additional staff to enable the performance of timely internal controls, and enhancement to business processes and controls as the Company continues to mature. The Company’s Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) transformation is a critical step to reducing our dependency on manual review controls, with deployment of the Company’s ERP planned for the European business unit in fiscal year 2025.

Management continues to work to improve the robustness of source data used in key assumptions and estimates, including data used in business and operational forecasting, and believes that the precision of assumptions and estimates will continue to improve as additional market and historical company data becomes available as the industry matures.

We believe these measures, and others that may be implemented, will remediate the material weaknesses in ICFR described above.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Certain Non-GAAP Performance Measures

This MD&A contains certain financial performance measures that are not recognized or defined under IFRS (“Non-GAAP Measures”). As a result, this data may not be comparable to data presented by other licensed producers of cannabis and cannabis companies. For an explanation of these measures to related comparable financial information presented in the consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, refer to the discussion below. The Company believes that these Non-GAAP Measures are useful indicators of operating performance and are specifically used by management to assess the financial and operational performance of the Company. The following are Non-GAAP measures contained in this MD&A:

•Cannabis net revenue represents revenue from the sale of cannabis products, excluding excise taxes. Cannabis net revenue is further broken down as follows:

◦Medical cannabis net revenue represents Canadian and international cannabis net revenue for medical cannabis sales only.

◦Consumer cannabis net revenue represents cannabis net revenue for consumer cannabis sales only.

◦Wholesale bulk cannabis net revenue represents cannabis net revenue for wholesale bulk cannabis only.

Management believes the cannabis net revenue measures provide more specific information about the net revenue purely generated from our core cannabis business and by market type.

•Gross profit before fair value adjustments (“FV adjustments”) is calculated by subtracting cost of sales, before the effects of changes in FV of biological assets and inventory from net revenue. Gross margin before FV adjustments is calculated by dividing gross profit before FV adjustments by net revenue. Management believes that these measures provide useful information to assess the profitability of our operations as it excludes the effects of non-cash FV adjustments on inventory and biological assets, which are required by IFRS.

•Adjusted gross profit before FV adjustments represents cash gross profit on net revenue and is calculated by subtracting from total net revenue (i) cost of sales, before the effects of changes in FV of biological assets and inventory; and removing (ii) depreciation in cost of sales; (iii) cannabis inventory impairment; and (iv) business transformation, non-recurring, and out-of-period adjustments. Adjusted gross margin before FV adjustments is calculated by dividing adjusted gross profit before FV adjustments by net revenue. Adjusted gross profit and gross margin before FV adjustments on cannabis net revenue is further broken down as follows:

◦Adjusted gross profit and gross margin before FV adjustments on medical cannabis net revenue represents gross profit and gross margin before FV adjustments on sales generated in the medical market only.


23 \| AURORA CANNABIS INC.			Q2 2025 MD&A

◦Adjusted gross profit and gross margin before FV adjustments on consumer cannabis net revenue represents gross profit and gross margin before FV adjustments on sales generated in the consumer market only.

◦Adjusted gross profit and gross margin before FV adjustments on wholesale bulk cannabis net revenue represents gross profit and gross margin before FV adjustments on sales generated from wholesale bulk cannabis only.

Management believes that these measures provide useful information to assess the profitability of our operations as it represents the cash gross profit and margin generated from operations and excludes (i) out-of-period adjustments to provide information that reflects current period results; and (ii) excludes the effects of non-cash FV adjustments on inventory and biological assets, which are required by IFRS.

•Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) from continuing operations excluding income tax expense (recovery), other income (expenses), share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, acquisition costs, changes in fair value of inventory sold, inventory impairment adjustments, changes in fair value of biological assets, costs related to our business transformation, out-of-period adjustments, non-recurring items and costs related to business operations focused on developing international markets prior to commercialization. Adjusted EBITDA is intended to provide a proxy for the Company’s operating cash flow and is widely used by industry analysts to compare Aurora to its competitors, and derive expectations of future financial performance for Aurora, and excludes out-of-period adjustments that are not reflective of current operating results.

•Management believes that working capital is an important liquidity measure and is defined as current assets less current liabilities as stated on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

•Management believes that free cash flow presents meaningful information regarding the amount of cash flow required to maintain and organically grow the Company’s business and is an important liquidity measure.

•Adjusted SG&A is defined as SG&A, less business transformation, non-recurring, market development and out-of-period costs. Management believes this measure provides useful information to assess the recurring costs of our operations.

Non-GAAP Measures should be considered together with other data prepared in accordance with IFRS to enable investors to evaluate the Company’s operating results, underlying performance and prospects in a manner similar to Aurora’s management. Accordingly, these Non-GAAP 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.
