## Strategy

Aurora's strategy centers on regulated medical cannabis markets where product quality, GMP certification, and supply chain control matter. It is expanding direct control of distribution and pharmacy access in key markets such as the UK while using its brand portfolio and manufacturing footprint to support international growth.

- **Strengthen UK medical cannabis distribution** (short-term) — Direct ownership of import, distribution, and pharmacy assets improves control over patient supply and channel economics.
- **Use GMP-certified manufacturing as a differentiator** (medium-term) — Regulated markets often require high compliance standards, so certified production supports access and trust.
- **Broaden international medical market reach** (medium-term) — Diversifying across multiple medical cannabis markets reduces reliance on any single jurisdiction.

- Expand in regulated medical cannabis markets
- Use GMP certification as a market-access advantage
- Increase direct control of distribution and pharmacy channels
- Leverage branded product portfolio across regions
- Support international growth through manufacturing assets

## Risks

Aurora's business depends on regulated medical cannabis markets, so licensing, import rules, and product compliance can affect access to customers and supply chains. Geographic concentration in country-specific medical channels creates execution risk, while cannabis remains an industry with regulatory uncertainty, pricing pressure, and quality-control requirements.

- **Regulatory and licensing dependence** [high] — Medical cannabis sales require country-specific approvals, import permissions, and pharmacy distribution rules.
- **Supply chain and compliance disruption** [high] — The business relies on GMP-certified cultivation, processing, import, and last-mile delivery to patients.
- **Market concentration in regulated medical channels** [medium] — Revenue depends on a relatively limited set of medical cannabis markets and channel partners.
- **Cannabis industry pricing pressure** [medium] — Competition and market maturation can compress pricing in medical cannabis categories.

- Regulatory changes can restrict product access or distribution
- Country-level licensing risk affects market entry and continuity
- Quality and GMP compliance failures could disrupt sales
- Cross-border supply chains create customs and logistics risk
- Medical cannabis demand and pricing can vary by jurisdiction

## Accounting

Aurora's results are shaped by inventory valuation, biological/cultivation-related estimates, and the timing of revenue recognition when product moves through regulated supply chains. Medical cannabis businesses also face judgment around provisions, impairments, and non-GAAP measures such as adjusted EBITDA and working capital, which can change how operating performance is viewed.

- **Inventory valuation** — Gross margin and inventory write-down risk
- **Revenue recognition** — Quarterly revenue timing
- **Impairment of intangibles and facilities** — Non-cash charges and book value
- **Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA** — Comparability with GAAP earnings

- Inventory valuation affects margins if product costs or obsolescence change
- Revenue recognition depends on when control passes to regulated buyers
- Biological asset and cultivation estimates can affect reported results
- Impairment testing matters for brands, facilities, and acquired assets
- Working capital and adjusted EBITDA are important non-GAAP indicators
