1. Background, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a)Background

Cronos Group Inc. (“Cronos” or the “Company”) is incorporated in the province of British Columbia and under the Business Corporations Act(British Columbia) with principal executive offices at 4491 Concession Rd 12, Stayner, Ontario L0M 1S0. The Company’s common shares are currently listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) under the ticker symbol “CRON.”

Cronos is an innovative global cannabinoid company committed to building disruptive intellectual property by advancing cannabis research, technology and product development. With a passion to responsibly elevate the consumer experience, Cronos is building an iconic brand portfolio. Cronos’ diverse international brand portfolio includes Spinach®, PEACE NATURALS® and Lord Jones®.

(b)Basis of presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation of our consolidated financial statements, which includes discontinued operations. These reclassifications had no effect on reported results of operations and ending shareholders’ equity.

(c)Basis of consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and all entities in which the Company has a controlling voting interest or is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest as of and for the reporting periods. The Company assesses control under the variable interest entity (“VIE”) model to determine whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of that entity’s operations. If an entity is not deemed to be a VIE, the Company consolidates the entity if the Company has a controlling voting interest. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. Investments in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee, but does not have control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company consolidates the financial results of the following entities, which the Company controls but does not wholly own:

(i)Cronos Growing Company Inc. is referred to as “Cronos GrowCo.”

(ii)These Israeli entities are collectively referred to as “Cronos Israel.”

(iii)“Ownership interest” is defined as the proportionate share of net income to which the Company is entitled; equity interest may differ from ownership interest as described herein.

In the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive (income) loss, net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) are attributed to the equity holders of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Non-controlling interests in the equity of Cronos Israel and Cronos GrowCo are presented separately in the shareholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated upon consolidation.

(d)Use of estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions include, among other things, allocation of consideration to acquired assets and liabilities in a business combination, valuation of derivative liabilities, expected credit losses on long-term financial assets, gain on revaluation of loans receivable, gain on revaluation of equity method investment, impairment losses on goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, impairment losses on long-lived assets, inventory write-downs, share-bared payments, valuation allowance on deferred income tax assets and uncertain tax liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(e)Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments

Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash and highly liquid short-term investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash, generally with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents include amounts held in dollars, C$, and ILS and security deposits. Short-term investments consist of debt securities that (i) generally have original maturities of greater than three months and (ii) the Company has the ability to convert into cash within one year.

Short-term investments are classified as held-to-maturity and recorded at cost. Interest earned on short-term investments is recorded in other receivables on the consolidated balance sheets and interest income, net on the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). Cash inflows and outflows related to the purchase and maturity of short-term investments are classified as investing activities in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows.

(f)Business combination

Effective July 1, 2024, the Company obtained majority control of the board of directors of Cronos GrowCo, a cannabis cultivation company. The business combination was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805 Accounting for Business Combinations (the “Cronos GrowCo Transaction”). Prior to this date, the Company’s investment in Cronos GrowCo was accounted for as an investment under the equity method and loans receivable from Cronos GrowCo. The excess of the fair value of our existing equity method investment over the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The results of operations of Cronos GrowCo have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date. Transaction costs associated with the acquisition were $701 in the year ended December 31, 2024 and were expensed as incurred.

(g)Inventory

Inventory is comprised of raw materials, finished goods and work-in-progress, such as pre-harvested cannabis plants, dried flower, by-products to be extracted, cannabis extracts and by-products, dry cannabis and cannabis extract containers, and boxes. In relation to cultivated cannabis, the Company capitalizes costs into inventory until the time of harvest which includes, but is not limited to, labor, utilities, nutrition and irrigation.

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, determined using weighted average cost. Cost includes expenditures directly related to manufacturing and distribution of the products. Primary costs include consumables (insect control, fertilizers, soil), packaging, shipping, direct labor, contract manufacturer fees, overhead, supplies and small tools, and the depreciation of manufacturing equipment and production facilities determined at normal capacity. Manufacturing overhead and related expenses include salaries, wages, employee benefits, rent, utilities, security, and property taxes. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. At the end of each reporting period, the Company performs an assessment to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Factors considered in the determination of net realizable value include slow-moving or non-marketable products.

(h)Investments

Variable interest entities

A variable interest entity is an entity having either a total equity investment that is insufficient to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or equity investors at risk that lack the ability to control the entity’s activities. Variable interests are investments or other interests that will absorb portions of a VIE’s expected losses or receive portions of the VIE’s expected residual returns. The Company evaluates whether it is the primary beneficiary of each VIE it identifies on a periodic basis and considers the impact of any reconsideration events. The primary beneficiary is the party that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE and holds a variable interest that could potentially be significant to the VIE. To make this determination, the Company considers both quantitative and qualitative factors regarding the nature, size and form of its involvement with the VIE. The Company consolidates a VIE when it is determined that it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE.

Equity method investments

The Company accounts for investments in companies over which it has the ability to exercise significant influence but does not hold a controlling financial interest using the equity method. Under the equity method, the Company records its proportionate share of income or loss in share of income (loss) from equity method investments within the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). Cash payments to equity method investees such as additional investments or expenses incurred on behalf of investees, as well as income earned and payments from equity method investees such as dividends and distributions are recorded as adjustments to investment balances. If the current fair value of an investment falls below its carrying amount, this may indicate that an impairment loss should be recorded. Any impairment losses recognized in one period cannot be reversed in subsequent periods.

Other investments

Other investments include common stock and options in third-party entities in which the Company’s influence is deemed non-significant. The Company holds other investments with and without readily determinable fair values. Other investments with readily determinable fair values are recorded using the fair value method of accounting as of period-end on the consolidated balance sheets. Other investments without readily determinable fair values are recorded using the cost method of accounting on the consolidated balance sheets. Other investments without readily determinable fair values are assessed for observable price changes and other than temporary impairment on a periodic basis. Changes in the reported value of other investments are reported in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

(i)Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

When assets are disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any related gain or loss is recognized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Significant expenditures, which increase productivity or extend the useful life of the asset, are capitalized.

Available for use is defined as the point at which the related property, plant and equipment is operational, including the possession of any requisite licenses. Depreciation commences at the point the assets are available for use.

(j)Definite-lived intangible assets

Intangible assets are recorded at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets acquired through a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date. The fair value of the know-how intangible asset that was acquired in the Cronos GrowCo Transaction was estimated using the income approach. Under the income approach, significant inputs used in the relief-from-royalty method include projected revenues, royalty rate, income tax rate and discount rate.

The Company capitalizes certain costs incurred in connection with its enterprise software, which include external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining internal-use software and payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to the development of the software for the function intended. All other costs are expensed as incurred.

Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the following methods and rates:

(i)The preliminary licenses granted to Kibbutz Gan Shmuel (the Cronos Israel joint venture partner) by the Medical Cannabis Unit of the Israeli Ministry of Health in early 2017 (the “Israeli codes”) were transferred by non-controlling interests to Cronos Israel in exchange for equity interests in the Cronos Israel entities specified above.

(ii)Know-how was acquired as part of the Cronos GrowCo Transaction. See Note 2 “Business Combination” for further information.

Amortization begins when assets become available for use. The estimated useful life, amortization method, and rate are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

Intangible assets originating from the strategic partnership (the “Ginkgo Strategic Partnership”) with Ginkgo Bioworks Holdings, Inc. (“Ginkgo”) are accounted for in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting. Equity interests issued in exchange for an asset are initially recognized and measured at the date of acquisition at fair value. We estimate fair value using the relief-from-royalty method and key assumptions include the discount rate and estimated life. Definite-lived intangible assets, including intangible assets originating from the Ginkgo Strategic Partnership, are subject to amortization and reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that fair value has been reduced to less than its carrying amount.

(k)Accrued liabilities

Accrued liabilities consist of the following:

Accrued payroll and related expenses include salaries and wages, bonuses, and other related payroll expenses associated with the Company’s employees. Accrued professional fees include fees for legal expenses, litigation, consulting, marketing, and other related expenses. Accrued taxes include sales, excise and other taxes owed. Other accrued expenses include the fair value of deferred share units outstanding to directors and other general expenses.

(l)Leases

The Company enters into leases in the normal course of business, primarily for the land-use rights, office and research premises, and equipment used in the production of its products. At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company performs an analysis over the classification of the lease agreement as either an operating lease or finance lease.

A right-of-use asset and the related lease obligation associated with the lease are recorded at the inception of the lease. The right-of-use asset’s recorded amount is based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date plus any initial direct costs incurred. If the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for the Company’s operating leases, an incremental borrowing rate is generally used based on information available at the lease commencement date to determine the present value of future lease payments. Subsequent changes to these lease payments due to rate updates are recorded as lease expense in the period incurred. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet as a lease.

The right-of-use asset is subject to impairment testing whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The leased asset is amortized over the shorter of the lease term or its estimated useful life if title does not transfer to the Company, while the leased asset is depreciated in accordance with the Company’s depreciation policy if the title is to eventually transfer to the Company.

The Company’s lease agreements generally exclude non-lease components. As a result, non-lease components are accounted for separately for all classes of assets and expensed as incurred. In addition, the Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. For finance leases, from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term, the right-of-use asset is amortized on a straight-line basis and the interest expense is recognized on the lease liability using the effective interest method. For operating leases, lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and presented as a single charge in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

(m)Derivative liabilities

For financial instruments classified as derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments or do not qualify for hedge accounting, changes in fair value are recorded in theconsolidated statements of net income (loss) andcomprehensive income (loss) each period. The Company does not enter into or hold derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Derivative liabilities are initially recognized at fair value at the date on which the derivative contract was entered into. Any attributable transaction costs are recognized in net income (loss) as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivative liabilities are measured at fair value at each reporting date until settlement with the re-measurement gain or loss being recognized immediately in net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). See Note 10 “Derivative Liabilities” for more details on derivative liabilities consisting of the Altria Warrant, Pre-emptive Rights, and certain Top-up Rights.

(n)Capital stock

Capital stock is presented at the fair value at the time of issuance of the shares issued. Costs related to the issuance of shares are reported in equity, net of tax, as a deduction from the issuance proceeds.

(o)Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The Company’s contracts with customers for the sale of dried flower, cannabis oil, cannabinoid-derived products and “hemp” (as defined in the U.S. Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018 “U.S. hemp”) derived products consist of a single performance obligation.

The Company has concluded that revenue from the sale of these products should be recognized at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer, depending on the specific contractual terms. The Company has determined that the most definitive demonstration that control has transferred to a customer is physical shipment or delivery, depending on the contractual shipping terms, except for consignment transactions. Consignment transactions are arrangements where the Company transfers product to a customer or third-party location but retains ownership and control of such product until it is used by the customer. Revenue for consignment arrangements is recognized upon the customer’s usage.

Revenue is recognized at the transaction price, which is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods to a customer. Net revenue before excise taxes from sale of goods, as presented in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), represents revenue from the sale of goods less expected price discounts, allowances for customer returns and other forms of variable consideration. If the consideration in a contract includes a variable amount, the Company estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for transferring the goods to the customer. The variable consideration is estimated using either the expected value or most likely amount method, based on the Company’s historical information, at contract inception. The Company’s payment terms vary by customer and product type.

The Company treats shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost, classified as cost of sales. Accordingly, the Company accrues all fulfillment costs related to the shipping and handling of consumer goods at the time of shipment.

The following table presents the Company’s revenue by major product category for continuing operations:

Net revenue attributed to a geographic region based on the location of the customer was as follows:

(p)Research and development

The Company has a research and development center in Canada that performs scientific research on the interaction of cannabinoids as well as strain development, growing conditions and extraction technology. In 2023, fermentation and production related research was performed to further strategic initiatives around rare cannabinoids. In addition, the Company has a collaboration and license agreement with Ginkgo (the “Ginkgo Collaboration Agreement”) to research, produce, and commercialize cultured cannabinoids. Technological feasibility is considered to be established once productivity targets or commercialization are achieved, at which point the exclusive license is recognized at cost less impairment charges. As of the acquisition date of each exclusive license, cost less impairment charges is equal to the fair value. See Note 8 “Goodwill and Intangible Assets, net” for more information on the Ginkgo Collaboration Arrangement. Research and development costs associated with these collective efforts are expensed as incurred as part of operating expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

(q)Advertising costs

Advertising costs include costs to sell the Company’s products and are expensed as incurred through sales and marketing expenses in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). Advertising costs were $887, $1,382 and $889 for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

(r)Share-based compensation

Share-based awards consists of equity-settled share-based awards such as stock options and restricted share units (“RSUs”) that are issued to eligible employees, non-executive directors, and non-employees. Cash-settled deferred share units (“DSUs”) that are issued to non-executive directors under the DSU Plan are recorded in accrued liabilities with the fair value adjustment recorded in other income.

Equity instruments granted are initially measured at fair value on the grant date. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of RSUs and DSUs are determined using the market price of the Company’s common shares. Compensation expense related to options and RSUs is recognized on a straight-line basis in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) over the vesting period for employees, and over the contractual term for non-employees. The fair value of the payout of cash-settled DSUs is determined at each reporting date based on the fair value of the Company’s common shares at the reporting date and is recorded within other liabilities. The related costs for all equity-settled share-based awards are reflected in additional paid-in capital until the awards are settled or exercised. Upon settlement or exercise, shares are issued and the amount previously reflected in additional paid-in capital is, along with any proceeds paid upon settlement or exercise, credited to a combination of share capital and additional paid-in capital. Forfeitures of share-based compensation awards are accounted for as reductions to share-based compensation and additional paid-in capital as they occur.

(s)Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets, for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. In accordance with ASC 360, long-lived assets are reviewed for events or changes in circumstances that indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company periodically reviews for indicators and, if indicators are present, tests the carrying amount of long-lived assets, assessing their recoverable value based on estimated undiscounted cash flows over their remaining estimated useful lives. The Company groups assets at the lowest level for which cash flows are separately identifiable, referred to as an asset group. If the carrying amount of an asset (or asset group) exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset (or asset group) exceeds the fair value of the asset (or asset group, as applicable), based on discounted cash flows.

(t)Assets held-for-sale and discontinued operations

In accordance with ASC 205-20 Presentation of Financial Statements: Discontinued Operations, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported as discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when the components of an entity meet the criteria in paragraph ASC 205-20-45-10. In the period in which the component meets held-for-sale or discontinued operations criteria, the major current assets, other assets, current liabilities, and other liabilities are reported as components of total assets and liabilities separate from those balances of the continuing operations. At the same time, the results of all discontinued operations, less applicable income taxes (benefit), are reported as components of net income (loss) separate from the net income (loss) of continuing operations.

The Company periodically evaluates its long-lived assets that it plans to dispose of through sale for held-for-sale classification. To be classified as held-for-sale, management must have committed to a plan to sell, the asset (or asset group) must be available for immediate sale in its present condition, an active program to locate a buyer must have been initiated, the sale must be probable to close within one year, the asset (or asset group) must be marketed at a reasonable sales price, and it must be unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made. Once an asset (or asset group) meets all of the above criteria, it is reclassified as assets held-for-sale on the consolidated balance sheet, and the asset(s) cease depreciation and are written down to their fair value, less costs to sell, if applicable.

The Company completed a review of its global supply chain in 2023 and determined that it would wind down its Winnipeg, Manitoba facility (“Cronos Fermentation Facility”) and list it for sale. This review involved significant complexities and judgments in making the accounting treatment determination. There are subjective and complex judgments in the determination of whether the Cronos Fermentation Facility meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, including: (1) whether the Cronos Fermentation Facility is available for sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such businesses, (2) whether the sale of the Cronos Fermentation Facility is probable and that the transfer of assets will be a completed sale within one year from period end, and (3) whether the Cronos Fermentation Facility is being actively marketed at a reasonable price. See Note 7 “Property, Plant and Equipment, net” for discussion regarding our evaluation of the Cronos Fermentation Facility for held-for-sale classification as of December 31, 2024.

(u)Impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that fair value of the reporting unit has been reduced to less than its carrying amount in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. The Company performs an impairment test annually in the fourth quarter by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered to be impaired. An impairment charge would be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value.

(v)Income taxes

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the year that includes the enactment date. The Company determines deferred tax assets including net operating losses and liabilities, based on temporary differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities.

A valuation allowance is established to reduce some or all net deferred tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to be realized. The Company considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income, and the feasibility of tax planning strategies, in assessing the need for a valuation allowance.

A valuation allowance against some or all of the net deferred tax assets does not in any way impact the Company’s ability to use future tax deductions such as the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards; rather, the valuation allowance indicates, according to the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The valuation allowance that was established will be maintained until there is sufficient positive evidence to conclude that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized. The Company’s income tax expense for future periods will be reduced to the extent of corresponding decreases in our valuation allowance. There is uncertainty regarding any future realization of the benefit by the Company of all or part of our net deferred tax assets.

Judgment is required to determine the recognition and measurement attributes prescribed in the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes. The Company uses a two-step approach for evaluating uncertain tax positions. Step one, recognition, requires us to determine whether the weight of available evidence indicates that a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. If a tax position is not considered “more likely than not” to be sustained, no benefits of the position are recognized. If we determine that a position is “more likely than not” to be sustained, then we proceed to step two, measurement, which is based on the largest amount of benefit which is more likely than not to be realized on effective settlement. This process involves estimating our actual current tax exposure, including assessing the risks associated with income tax audits, together with assessing temporary differences resulting from the different treatment of items for tax and financial reporting purposes. If actual results differ from our estimates, our net operating loss and credit carryforwards, to the extent not covered by a valuation allowance, could be materially impacted in the period which such determination is made.

The Company recognizes uncertain income tax positions at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Recognition or measurement is reflected in the period in which the likelihood changes. Any interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax liabilities are presented within income tax expense in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). Accrued interest and penalties are included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

(w)Foreign currency

The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar (“C$”) and its reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Functional currencies for the entities in these consolidated financial statements are their respective local currencies, including C$, U.S. dollar and Israeli New Shekel (“ILS”). All assets and liabilities of operations with a functional currency other than the Canadian dollar are translated into Canadian dollars at the period-end currency exchange rates and subsequently translated into U.S. dollars at period-end currency exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Revenues and expenses of operations, as well as all cash flows, with a functional currency other than the Canadian dollar are translated into Canadian dollars at the average exchange rates for the period and subsequently translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates for the period. Transaction gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded in either cost of sales, general and administrative expenses, or foreign currency transaction gain (loss) in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

(x)Segments

Segment reporting is prepared on the same basis that the Company’s chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) manages the business, makes operating decisions and assesses the Company’s performance. Historically, the Company reported results fortwo reportable segments, the U.S. and Rest of World. In the second quarter of 2023, as a result of the Company’s exit of its then-existing U.S. operations, the Company determined that it hasone operating segment and thereforeone reportable segment. All prior period segment disclosure information has been reclassified to conform to the current reporting structure in this Annual Report. These reclassifications had no effect on our consolidated financial statements in any period presented.

(y)Earnings (loss) per share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share data for its common shares. Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effects of all potentially dilutive common shares.

(z)Fair value measurements

The carrying amount of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, loans receivable, accounts payable and other liabilities approximate fair value, given their short-term nature. Cronos uses a fair value hierarchy, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, noted as Level 1 measurements, and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs, noted as Level 3 measurements.

The following are the three levels of inputs used to measure fair value:

•Level 1 – valuation based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

•Level 2 – valuation techniques based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

•Level 3 – valuation techniques using the inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The Company’s policy for determining when transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy occur is based on the date of the event or changes in circumstances that caused the transfer.

(aa)Adoption of new accounting pronouncements

In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company adopted ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 enhances reportable segment disclosures by requiring disclosures such as significant segment expenses, information on the CODM and disclosures for entities with a single reportable segment. Additionally, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, and contain other disclosure requirements. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 did not have an impact on the consolidated results of operations, financial condition or statement of cash flows.

On January 1, 2024, the Company adopted ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2022-03”). ASU 2022-03 clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also require additional disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. The adoption of ASU 2022-03 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. With respect to the adoption of ASU 2022-03, see Note 5 “Investments” for discussion of the contractual restrictions related to the PharmaCann Option (as defined below).

(ab)New accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 adds an obligation under ASC 220-40 to require a footnote disclosure about specific expenses by requiring public business entities to disaggregate, in a tabular presentation, each relevant expense caption on the face of the income statement that includes any of the following natural expenses: (1) purchases of inventory, (2) employee compensation, (3) depreciation, (4) intangible asset amortization, and (5) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil and gas-producing activities or other types of depletion expenses. The tabular disclosure would also include certain other expenses, when applicable. ASU 2024-03 does not change or remove existing expense disclosure requirements; however, it may affect where that information appears in the footnotes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and applicable entities are required to adopt ASU 2024-03 prospectively; however, companies are permitted to apply the amendments in ASU 2024-03 retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2024-03 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In January 2025, the effective date was further clarified with the issuance of ASU 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date. No guidance was changed with ASU 2025-01, but the issuance simply ensures that all public business entities have a clear and consistent timeline for implementing the enhanced expense disaggregation disclosures.

2. Business Combination

Cronos GrowCo was formed under the Canada Business Corporations Act on June 14, 2018, with the objective of cultivating and commercializing cannabis and cannabis products. Cronos GrowCo is licensed to sell certain cannabis products to other license holders in the wholesale channel, as well as to provincial cannabis control authorities. It is also licensed to export dried flower to Israel.

As described in Note 1 “Background, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”, in the third quarter of 2024, the Company obtained majority control of the board of directors of Cronos GrowCo, which qualified as a business combination under ASC 805. In connection with the Cronos GrowCo Transaction, the Company provided an approximately $51,000 secured non-revolving credit facility to Cronos GrowCo to fund the expansion of Cronos GrowCo’s cultivation and processing facilities (such area, the “Phase 2 Expansion Area”), and the Company entered into a new supply agreement (the “Cronos GrowCo Supply Agreement”) with Cronos GrowCo. Pursuant to the Cronos GrowCo Supply Agreement, prior to the commencement of sales from the Phase 2

Expansion Area, the Company and its controlled affiliates (other than Cronos GrowCo) have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase an aggregate total quantity of 80% of Cronos GrowCo’s production. Thereafter, the Company and its controlled affiliates (other than Cronos GrowCo) will have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase 70% of Cronos GrowCo’s forecasted production capacity over a given period and 70% of Cronos GrowCo’s actual production in a given month. Cronos GrowCo’s production is intended to support the majority of the Company’s current and future biomass supply requirements.

As there was no cash consideration paid, the Cronos GrowCo Transaction has been valued with reference to the fair value of our existing equity method investment of $53,542, as well as the effective settlement of various preexisting relationships between the Company and Cronos GrowCo. These preexisting relationships are now classified as intercompany transactions and eliminated upon consolidation. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded a gain of $32,469 on the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) from remeasuring our equity method investment in Cronos GrowCo. We also recorded $11,804 to gain on revaluation of loan receivable on the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2024, from remeasuring our outstanding loans receivable with Cronos GrowCo. Additionally, the consideration also included the effective settlement of various preexisting trade receivables and payables and other related accounts that are now classified as intercompany transactions and eliminated upon consolidation. The effective settlement of the preexisting trade receivables, payables, and related accounts did not result in the recognition of any gain or loss on settlement. As of the date of the Cronos GrowCo Transaction, the fair value of the non-controlling interest in Cronos GrowCo was $53,542. The Company used the income approach to estimate both the fair value of the Company’s equity method investment in Cronos GrowCo and the fair value of the non-controlling interest in Cronos GrowCo. Under the income approach, significant assumptions used in the discounted cash flow method that required the use of judgment were the discount rate, growth rates and cash flow projections. The Company used the income approach to estimate the fair value of the Company’s loan receivable with Cronos GrowCo. Under the income approach, significant assumptions used that required the use of judgment were the credit spread and interest rate volatility.

During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company completed the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Based on the final allocation, goodwill and intangible assets increased $28,848 and $8,008, respectively, and property, plant and equipment, inventory and deferred tax liability decreased $31,970, $15,287 and $10,401, respectively, from the preliminary amount reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2024. These changes in the allocation of the purchase price did not have a material impact on previously reported earnings. The final allocation of the purchase price to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was:

The inventory acquired in the Cronos GrowCo Transaction of $15,754 includes a step-up to fair value of $5,605. For the year ended December, 31 2024, the Company recognized $5,284 of this inventory step-up into cost of sales on the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

The following table presents details of the property, plant and equipment acquired by major category:

The following table presents details of the intangible assets acquired:

The Company’s results of operations for the year ended December, 31 2024, included six months of the operating results of Cronos GrowCo, which was comprised of revenue of $6,374 and loss before income taxes of $802. Business combination-related costs of $701 were incurred in relation to the Cronos GrowCo Transaction for the year ended December, 31 2024, and were reported in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

As a result of the Cronos GrowCo Transaction, the Company recorded goodwill of $65,269, none of which is deductible for income tax purposes. The goodwill acquired was primarily attributable to the ability to realize synergies, bolster Cronos’ supply capabilities and support future growth opportunities from the expansion of Cronos GrowCo’s cultivation and processing facilities.

The following table presents unaudited supplemental pro forma results for the year ended December, 31 2024 and 2023, respectively, as if the Cronos GrowCo Transaction had occurred as of January 1, 2023.

Material nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the Cronos GrowCo Transactions include the following:

•Acquired inventory fair value step-up of $5,605 is assumed to be recorded at January 1, 2023. As such, historical amortization of the acquired inventory step-up of $5,284 recognized in the historical six-month period ended December 31, 2024 was removed from pro forma net income for the year ended December, 31 2024. The entire inventory fair value step-up of $5,605 was recognized as an incremental product cost in the year ended December 31, 2023.

•Pre-business combination revenues for sales from Cronos GrowCo to the Company of $21,145 were adjusted out for the year ended December 31, 2023, and $14,776 of pre-business combination revenues were adjusted out for the year ended December, 31 2024, as these amounts would have been eliminated in consolidation. Company pre-business combination cost of sales of $17,988 were adjusted out for the year ended December 31, 2023, and $11,386 of pre-business combination cost of sales were adjusted out for the year ended December 31, 2024, as these amounts would have been eliminated in consolidation.

•The gain on the revaluation of the equity method investment and loan receivable relating to the Cronos GrowCo Transaction of $32,469 and $11,804, respectively, were adjusted out for the year ended December, 31 2024 and added into the year ended December 31, 2023 as this revaluation is assumed to have occurred on January 1, 2023.

See Note 2 “Business Combination” for more information.

5. Investments

(a)Variable interest entities and investments in equity method investments, net

CLS

The Company holds a variable interest in Cannasoul Lab Services Ltd. (“CLS”). CLS is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cannasoul Analytics Ltd., incorporated with the purpose of establishing a commercial cannabis analytical testing laboratory located on the premises of Cronos Israel (the “Cannasoul Collaboration”). Cronos Israel agreed to advance up to ILS 8,297 ($2,664) by a non-recourse loan (the “Cannasoul Collaboration Loan”) to CLS over a period oftwo years from April 1, 2020 for the capital and operating expenditures of the laboratory. The loan bears interest at 3.5% annually. Cronos Israel will receive 70% of the profits of the laboratory until such time as it has recovered 150% of the amounts advanced to CLS, after which time it will receive 50% of the laboratory profits. As a result, the Company is exposed to economic variability from CLS’s performance. The Company does not consolidate CLS as it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; thus, the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of the entity. The carrying amount of the non-recourse loan is recorded under loans receivable and the full loan amount, ILS 8,297, represents the Company’s maximum potential exposure to losses through the Cannasoul Collaboration. See Note 6 “Loans Receivable, net” for further information regarding loans receivable.

(b)Other investments

Other investments consist of investments in common shares and options of two companies in the cannabis industry.

PharmaCann Option

On June 14, 2021, the Company purchased an option (the “PharmaCann Option”) to acquire 473,787 shares of Class A Common Stock of PharmaCann, Inc. (“PharmaCann”), a vertically integrated cannabis company in the United States, at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, representing approximately 10.5% of PharmaCann’s issued and outstanding capital stock on a fully diluted basis as of the date of the PharmaCann Option, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $110,392. The option exercise will be based upon various factors, including the status of U.S. federal cannabis legalization, as well as regulatory approvals, including in the states where PharmaCann operates that may be required upon exercise. The Company has deemed its influence in PharmaCann to be non-significant. The PharmaCann Option is classified as an investment in an equity security without a readily determinable fair value. The Company measures the PharmaCann Option at cost less accumulated impairment charges, if any, and subsequently adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. The PharmaCann Option is reported as Other investments on the consolidated balance sheet for the periods ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

On February 28, 2022, PharmaCann closed its previously announced transaction with LivWell Holdings, Inc. (“LivWell”) pursuant to which PharmaCann acquired LivWell (the “LivWell Transaction”). As a result of the LivWell Transaction, the Company’s ownership percentage in PharmaCann on a fully diluted basis decreased to approximately 6.4%. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, based on updated information provided by PharmaCann in the fourth quarter, the Company’s ownership percentage in PharmaCann on a fully diluted basis was approximately 5.8% and 5.9%, respectively. Under the terms of the Company’s investment in PharmaCann, the Company’s rights to nominate an observer or a director to the PharmaCann board of directors could be lost if the Company’s ownership drops below 6% on a fully diluted basis and it sells or transfer all or any portion of the option (subject to certain exceptions). The decrease in the Company’s ownership percentage since acquisition does not materially affect the Company’s rights under the PharmaCann Option.

During the first, third and fourth quarters of 2022, the Company identified adverse forecast changes in the financial performance of PharmaCann as indicators of impairment related to the PharmaCann Option and conducted analyses comparing the PharmaCann Option’s carrying amount to its estimated fair value. The fair value was estimated using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. Under the income approach, significant inputs used in the discounted cash flow method include discount rate, growth rates, cash flow projections, and the expectation of federal rescheduling and individual state legalization of cannabis in the U.S. Under the market valuation approach, the key assumptions are the selected multiples and the discount for lack of marketability. As a result of these analyses, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $11,238, $28,972 and $21,182 in the first, third and fourth quarters of 2022, respectively, as the difference between the carrying amount of the PharmaCann Option and its estimated fair value, in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company identified adverse forecast changes in the financial performance of PharmaCann as an indicator of impairment related to the PharmaCann Option and conducted an analysis comparing the PharmaCann Option’s carrying amount to its estimated fair value. The fair value was estimated using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. Under the income approach, significant inputs used in the discounted cash flow method include discount rate, growth rates, cash flow projections, and the expectation of federal rescheduling and individual state legalization of cannabis in the U.S. Under the market valuation approach, the key assumptions are the selected multiples and the discount for lack of marketability. As a result of this analysis, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $23,350 in the fourth quarter of 2023 as the difference between the carrying amount of the PharmaCann Option and its estimated fair value, in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2023.

During the first and second quarters of 2024, the Company identified adverse forecast changes in the financial performance of PharmaCann as indicators of impairment related to the PharmaCann Option and conducted analyses comparing the PharmaCann Option’s carrying amount to its estimated fair value. The fair value was estimated using the market approach. Under the market approach, the key assumptions are the selected multiples and the discount for lack of marketability. As a result of these analyses, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $12,734 and $12,916 in the first and second quarters of 2024, respectively, as the difference between the carrying amount of the PharmaCann Option and its estimated fair value, in the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2024. As a result of the impairment charge recorded in the second quarter of 2024, the net book value of the PharmaCann Option was reduced to zero.

Vitura (formerly known as Cronos Australia)

The Company accounts for its investment in Vitura using the fair value method of accounting, with unrealized holding gains and losses included in net income (loss) on the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). The Company recorded a loss on revaluation of other investments of $6,206 for the year ended December 31, 2024, and a loss on revaluation of other investments of $12,096 for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the loss on revaluation of financial instruments on the statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). The Company’s investment in Vitura was $2,813 and $9,601 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and is included in other investments on the consolidated balance sheets. On February 12, 2025, Vitura issued 74,814,757 shares. This issuance diluted the Company’s ownership to approximately 8.4%.

The following table summarizes the Company’s other investments activity:

6. Loans Receivable, net

On August 23, 2019, the Company, as lender, and Cronos GrowCo, as borrower, entered into a senior secured credit agreement for an aggregate principal amount of C$100,000 (the “GrowCo Credit Facility”). The GrowCo Credit Facility is secured by substantially all present and after-acquired personal and real property of Cronos GrowCo. In August 2021, the GrowCo Credit Facility was amended to increase the aggregate principal amount available to C$105,000.

In June 2024, the GrowCo Credit Facility was amended to increase the aggregate principal amount available by C$70,000 by providing a second secured non-revolving credit facility (“Term Loan B”). The funds from Term Loan B will be used to expand Cronos GrowCo’s purpose-built cannabis facility and Term Loan B will mature 10 years after the commencement of sales from the Phase 2 Expansion Area. Principal will be repaid under Term Loan B on a quarterly basis after the commencement of sales from the Phase 2 Expansion Area. Interest on Term Loan B is payable on a quarterly basis until maturity beginning after the first borrowing under Term Loan B. Prior to July 1, 2024, only C$12,000 of the C$70,000 increased principal availability could be drawn, which Cronos GrowCo drew in full on June 20, 2024.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Cronos GrowCo had drawn C$116,000 and C$104,000 ($84,833 and $78,532, respectively), respectively from the GrowCo Credit Facility.

The Mucci Promissory Note is secured by a general security agreement covering all the assets of Mucci. On September 30, 2022, the Mucci Promissory Note was amended and restated to increase the interest rate from 3.95% to the Canadian Prime Rate plus 1.25%, change the interest payments from quarterly to annual, and defer Mucci’s initial cash interest payment from September 30, 2022 to July 1, 2023. On June 20, 2024, the Mucci Promissory Note was amended and restated.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company ceased operations at the Cronos Fermentation Facility and performed an assessment under ASC 360 of the recoverability of the carrying value of the assets of Thanos Holdings Ltd., known as Cronos Fermentation (“Cronos Fermentation”), and determined the carrying value of the assets was not fully recoverable. The fair value was estimated using a combination of the market and income approaches.

As of the closing date of the Altria Investment, the Altria Investment consisted of 149,831,154 common shares of the Company andone warrant of the Company (the “Altria Warrant”), issued to a wholly owned subsidiary of Altria. As of the closing date of the Altria Investment, Altria beneficially held an approximate 45% ownership interest in the Company (calculated on a non-diluted basis). On December 16, 2022, Altria notified the Company that it was irrevocably relinquishing all of its rights, title and interest in the Altria Warrant, effective immediately. As a result, the Company’s liability associated with the Altria Warrant was reduced tonil, with the change recorded to gain on revaluation of derivative liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Pursuant to the investor rights agreement between the Company and Altria, entered into in connection with the closing of the Altria Investment (the “Investor Rights Agreement”), the Company granted Altria certain rights, among others, summarized in this note.

The summaries below are qualified entirely by the terms and conditions fully set out in the Investor Rights Agreement and the Altria Warrant, as applicable.

a. The Company granted to Altria, subject to certain qualifications and limitations, upon the occurrence of certain issuances of common shares of the Company executed by the Company (including issuances pursuant to the research and development (“R&D”) partnership with Ginkgo, the right to purchase up to such number of common shares of the Company in order to maintain their ownership percentage of issued and outstanding common shares of the Company immediately preceding any issuance of shares by the Company (“Pre-emptive Rights”), at the same price per common share of the Company at which the common shares are sold in the relevant issuance; provided that if the consideration paid in connection with any such issuance is non-cash, the price per common share of the Company that would have been received had such common shares been issued for cash consideration will be determined by an independent committee (acting reasonably and in good faith); provided further that the price per common share of the Company to be paid by Altria pursuant to its exercise of its Pre-emptive Rights related to the Ginkgo Collaboration Agreement will be C$16.25 per common share. These rights may not be exercised if Altria’s ownership percentage of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company falls below 20%.

b. In addition to (and without duplication of) the Pre-emptive Rights, the Company granted to Altria, subject to certain qualifications and limitations, the right to subscribe for common shares of the Company issuable in connection with the exercise, conversion or exchange of convertible securities of the Company issued prior to March 8, 2019 or thereafter (excluding any convertible securities of the Company owned by Altria or any of its subsidiaries), a share incentive plan of the Company, the exercise of any right granted by the Company pro rata to all shareholders of the Company to purchase additional common shares and/or securities of the Company, bona fide bank debt, equipment financing or non-equity interim financing transactions that contemplate an equity component or bona fide acquisitions (including acquisitions of assets or rights under a license or otherwise), mergers or similar business combination transactions or joint ventures involving the Company in order to maintain their ownership percentage of issued and outstanding common shares of the Company immediately preceding any such transactions (“Top-up Rights”).

The price per common share to be paid by Altria pursuant to the exercise of its Top-up Rights will be, subject to certain limited exceptions, the 10-day volume-weighted average price of the common shares of the Company on the TSX for the 10 full days preceding such exercise by Altria; provided that the price per common share of the Company to be paid by Altria pursuant to the exercise of its Top-up Rights in connection with the issuance of common shares of the Company pursuant to the exercise of options or warrants that were outstanding as of March 8, 2019 will be C$16.25 per common share without any set off, counterclaim, deduction, or withholding. These rights may not be exercised if Altria’s ownership percentage of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company falls below 20%. The Altria Warrant, Pre-emptive Rights, and fixed price Top-up Rights have been classified as derivative liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

As of December 31, 2024, Altria beneficially held 156,573,537 of the Company’s common shares, an approximate 40.9% ownership interest in the Company (calculated on a non-diluted basis).

Reconciliations of the carrying amounts of the derivative liability are presented below:

Fluctuations in the expected life of the derivative instruments and the Company’s share price are primary drivers for the changes in the derivative valuations during each reporting period. As the period of time the derivative liability is expected to be outstanding decreases and the share price decreases, the fair value typically decreases for each related derivative instrument. Weighted-average expected life and share price are two of the significant observable inputs used in the fair value measurement of each of the Company’s derivative instruments.

The fair values of the derivative liabilities were determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model using the following inputs:

(i) The risk-free interest rate was based on Bank of Canada government treasury bills and bonds with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the derivative liabilities. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the risk-free interest rate uses a range of approximately 2.89% to 3.01% and 3.99% to 4.82%, respectively, for the Pre-emptive Rights and Top-up Rights.

(ii) The expected life represents the period of time, in years, that the derivative liabilities are expected to be outstanding. The expected life of the Pre-emptive Rights and Top-up Rights is determined based on the expected term of the underlying options, warrants, and shares, to which the Pre-emptive Rights and Top- up Rights are linked. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the expected life uses a range of approximately 0.75 years to 2.00 years and 0.50 years to 1.75 years, respectively.

(iii) Volatility was based on an equally weighted blended historical and implied volatility level of the underlying equity securities of the Company.

11. Share-based Compensation

(a)Share-based award plans

The Company has granted stock options, RSUs and DSUs to employees and non-employee directors under the Stock Option Plan dated May 26, 2015 (the “2015 Stock Option Plan”), the 2018 Stock Option Plan dated June 28, 2018 (the “2018 Stock Option Plan” and, together with the 2015 Stock Option Plan, the “Prior Option Plans”), the Employment Inducement Award Plan #1 (the “Employment Inducement Award Plan”), the 2020 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan dated March 29, 2020 (the “2020 Omnibus Plan”) and the DSU plan dated August 10, 2019 (the “DSU Plan”). The Company can no longer make grants under the Prior Option Plans or the Employment Inducement Award Plan.

The following table summarizes the total share-based compensation associated with the Company’s stock options and RSUs:

(i)Represents share-based compensation awards conditionally approved for grant to one of the Company’s former executives for a fixed monetary value, but a variable number of shares. These awards were liability-classified until the number of shares was determined.

(b)Stock options

On June 28, 2018, the shareholders of the Company approved the 2018 Stock Option Plan, which replaced the 2015 Stock Option Plan. The 2018 Stock Option Plan terminated the Company’s ability to grant equity under the 2015 Stock Option Plan. As of June 25, 2020, the date on which the 2020 Omnibus Plan was approved by the shareholders of the Company, no further awards will be granted under the 2018 Stock Option Plan; however, shares may be purchased via option exercise by the holders of any outstanding options previously issued under the 2018 Stock Option Plan.

On March 29, 2020, the Board adopted the 2020 Omnibus Plan, which was approved by the shareholders of the Company at the annual and special meeting of shareholders held on June 25, 2020. The 2020 Omnibus Plan provides for grants of stock options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares, RSUs and other share-based or cash-based awards, which are subject to terms as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”), and awards may be granted to eligible employees, non-employee directors and consultants. The 2020 Omnibus Plan terminated the Company’s ability to grant equity awards under the 2018 Stock Option Plan and RSUs under the Employment Inducement Award Plan.

Options represent the right to purchase Company common shares on the date of exercise at a stated exercise price. The exercise price of an option generally must be at least equal to the fair market value of the Company common shares on the date of grant. Vesting conditions for grants of options are determined by the Compensation Committee. The typical vesting for stock option grants is quarterly vesting over three tofive years. The maximum term of options granted under the 2020 Omnibus Plan isseven years. Participants under the 2020 Omnibus Plan are eligible to be granted options to purchase shares at an exercise price established upon approval of the grant by the Compensation Committee. When options are granted, the exercise price is, with respect to a particular date, the closing price as reported by the TSX or the Nasdaq and, if the shares are not traded on the TSX or the Nasdaq, any other stock exchange on which the Company’s common shares are traded (as selected by the Compensation Committee in good faith taking into account applicable legal and tax requirements) on the immediately preceding trading day (the “Fair Market Value”). The 2020 Omnibus Plan does not authorize grants of options with an exercise price below the Fair Market Value.

The following is a summary of the changes in options:

(i)The weighted average exercise price reflects the conversion of foreign currency-denominated stock options translated into C$ using the average foreign exchange rate as of the date of issuance.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the fair value per option at grant date was C$2.07. There wereno options granted in 2024. The fair value of the options issued during 2023 was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the following inputs:

(i)The expected life of the awards represents the period of time options are expected to be outstanding and is estimated considering vesting terms and employees’ and non-employees’ historical exercise and, where relevant, post-vesting employment termination behavior. Volatility was estimated by using the historical volatility of the Company’s share price, adjusted for the Company’s expectation of volatility going forward. The risk-free interest rate was based on the Bank of Canada government bonds with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options at the grant date.

The following table summarizes stock options outstanding:

(c)Restricted share units

RSUs are granted under the 2020 Omnibus Plan. RSUs represent an equivalent amount of Company common shares on the date of issuance at fair value. Fair value is determined using the closing price of the trading day immediately preceding the date of grant. RSUs issued under the 2020 Omnibus Plan typically vest over athree-year period following the grant date and have no performance requirements.

The following is a summary of the changes in RSUs:

(i)RSUs granted in the period vest annually in equal installments over athree-year period from either the grant date or after athree orfive year “cliff-period.” All RSUs are subject to such holder’s continued employment through each vesting date. The vesting of such RSUs is not subject to the achievement of any performance criteria.

(ii)The weighted-average grant date fair value reflects the conversion of foreign currency-denominated RSUs translated into C$ using the foreign exchange rate as of the date of issuance.

(d)Deferred share units

On August 10, 2019, the Company established the DSU Plan pursuant to which its non-executive directors receive DSUs for Board services. The DSU Plan is designed to promote a greater alignment of long-term interests between non-executive directors and shareholders. The number of DSUs granted under the DSU Plan (including fractional DSUs) is determined by dividing the amount of remuneration payable by the closing price as reported by the TSX for awards made prior to 2022 and as reported by Nasdaq for awards made in 2022 and subsequent years on the trading day immediately preceding the date of grant. DSUs are payable at the time a non-executive director ceases to hold the office of director for any reason and are settled by a lump-sum cash payment, in accordance with the terms of the DSU Plan, based on the fair value of the DSUs at such time. The fair value of the cash payout is determined by multiplying the number of DSUs vested at the payout date by the closing price as reported by the TSX for awards made prior to 2022 and as reported by Nasdaq for awards made in 2022 and subsequent years on the trading day immediately preceding the payout date. The fair value of the cash payout is determined at each reporting date based on the fair value of the Company’s common shares at the reporting date and is recorded within other liabilities.

The following is a summary of the changes in DSUs:

(e)Liability-classified awards

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Compensation Committee conditionally approved the grant to one of the Company’s former executives of share-based compensation awards for a fixed monetary amount, but a variable number of common shares. These awards were liability-classified until the number of common shares was determined prior to year-end 2022. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, there was no liability-classified award activity.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

(a)Commitments

R&D commitments

On September 4, 2018, the Company announced an R&D partnership with Ginkgo to develop scalable and consistent production of a variety of certain common and lesser-known cannabinoids. As part of this partnership, Cronos agreed to issue up to 14,674,903 common shares of the Company (aggregate value of approximately $100,000 as of July 17, 2018 assuming all milestones are met, collectively the “Ginkgo Equity Milestones”) in tranches and $22,000 in cash subject to Ginkgo’s achievement of certain milestones and to fund certain R&D expenses, including foundry access fees. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021,4,157,888 shares and 2,934,980 shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock were issued in conjunction with this partnership. No shares were issued for the year ended December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Other commitments

On February 18, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary of Altria (which agreement was subsequently amended and restated to substitute Altria Pinnacle as a party thereto), to receive strategic advisory and project management services from Altria Pinnacle (the “Services Agreement”). Pursuant to the Services Agreement, the Company will pay Altria Pinnacle a monthly fee equal to the product of 105% and the sum of: (i) all costs directly associated with the services incurred during the monthly period, and (ii) a reasonable and appropriate allocation of indirect costs incurred during the monthly period. The Company will also pay all third-party direct charges incurred during the monthly period in connection with the services, including any reasonable and documented costs, fees and expenses associated with obtaining any consent, license or permit. The Services Agreement will remain in effect until terminated by either party. See Note 17 “Related Party Transactions.”

(b)Contingencies

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business and in connection with its marketing, distribution and sale of its products. Many of these legal proceedings are in the early stages of litigation and seek damages that are unspecified or not quantified. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe these legal proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition but could be material to its results of operations for any particular reporting period depending, in part, on its results for that period.

(i)Class action complaints relating to restatement of 2019 interim financial statements

On March 11 and 12, 2020, two alleged shareholders of the Company separately filedtwo putative class action complaints in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York against the Company and its Chief Executive Officer and former Chief Financial Officer. The court consolidated the cases, and the consolidated amended complaint alleges violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5, promulgated thereunder, against all defendants, and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the individual defendants. The consolidated amended complaint generally alleges that certain of the Company’s prior public statements about revenue and internal controls were incorrect based on the Company’s disclosures relating to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors’ review of the appropriateness of revenue recognized in connection with certain bulk resin purchases and sales of products through the wholesale channel. The consolidated amended complaint does not quantify a damage request. The defendants moved to dismiss on February 8, 2021. On November 17, 2023, the court entered an order granting the motion and dismissed the case with prejudice. On December 1, 2023, the shareholder plaintiffs sought reconsideration of the dismissal, requesting that the court instead dismiss the action without prejudice and permit the plaintiffs to seek leave to further amend the complaint. On December 3, 2024, the Court issued an opinion and order granting the plaintiffs’ motion for reconsideration, and on January 10, 2025, the plaintiffs filed a second amended class action complaint.

On June 3, 2020, an alleged shareholder filed a Statement of Claim, as amended on August 12, 2020, in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, seeking, among other things, an order certifying the action as a class action on behalf of a putative class of shareholders and damages of an unspecified amount. The Amended Statement of Claim named (i) the Company, (ii) its Chief Executive Officer, (iii) former Chief Financial Officer, (iv) former Chief Financial Officer and Chief Commercial Officer, and (v) current and former members of the Board as defendants and alleged breaches of the Ontario Securities Act, oppression under the Ontario Business Corporations Act and common law misrepresentation. The Amended Statement of Claim generally alleged that certain of the Company’s prior public statements about revenue and internal controls were misrepresentations based on the Company’s March 2, 2020 disclosure that the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors was conducting a review of the appropriateness of revenue recognized in connection with certain bulk resin purchases and sales of products through the wholesale channel, and the Company’s subsequent restatement. The Amended Statement of Claim did not quantify a damage request. On June 28, 2021, the Court dismissed motions brought by the plaintiff for leave to commence a claim for misrepresentation under the Ontario Securities Act and for certification of the action as a class action. The plaintiff appealed the Court’s dismissal of the motions only with respect to the Company, the Chief Executive Officer, and the now former Chief Financial Officer; the remaining defendants were dismissed from the matter with prejudice and the Company and all individual defendants agreed not to seek costs from plaintiff in connection with the dismissal of the motions. On September 26, 2022, the Court of Appeal for Ontario reversed the Superior Court’s dismissal of the leave and certification motions, granted the plaintiff leave to proceed to bring a claim for misrepresentation under the Ontario Securities Act, and remitted the certification motion back to the Superior Court. On April 11, 2023, the plaintiff filed a Fresh as Amended Statement of Claim, which reflected the dismissal of the defendants for which an appeal was not sought, the removal of the claims for oppression under the Ontario Business Corporations Act and common law misrepresentation, as well as shortening the proposed class period. On October 10, 2023, the Superior Court certified the action on behalf of a class of persons or entities who acquired shares in the secondary market, including on the TSX and Nasdaq, during the period from May 9, 2019 to March 30, 2020, other than certain excluded persons.

(ii)Regulatory Settlements

On October 24, 2022, the Company announced regulatory settlements as follows:

SEC Settlement

On October 24, 2022, the SEC issued an Order Instituting Cease-and-Desist Proceedings Pursuant to Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21(c) of the Exchange Act, Making Findings, and Imposing a Cease-and-Desist Order (the “Settlement Order”) resolving the restatements of the Company’s 2019 and 2021 interim financial statements (the “Restatements”).

The Company agreed to settle with the SEC, without admitting or denying the allegations described in the Settlement Order. The Settlement Order fully and finally disposed of the investigation of the Company by the SEC into the Restatements without the payment of any civil penalty or other amount.

The Settlement Order required the Company to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act, Sections 10(b), 13(a), 13(b)(2)(B) of the Exchange Act and Rules 10b-5, 13a-13, 13a-15(a), 13a-16 and 12b-20 thereunder.

As a result of the Settlement Order, the Company (i) lost its status as a well-known seasoned issuer for a period of three years, (ii) is unable to rely on the private offering exemptions provided by Regulations A and D under the Securities Act for a period of five years and (iii) is unable to rely on the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for a period of three years.

OSC Settlement

On October 24, 2022, the Ontario Capital Markets Tribunal approved a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) between the Company and the staff of the Ontario Securities Commission (the “OSC”), resolving the Restatements.

Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, which fully and finally disposed the investigation of the Company by the OSC, Cronos agreed to pay a total of C$1.34 million to fully settle the matter, and acknowledged that it had failed to comply with the requirement under Section 77 of the Ontario Securities Act to file interim financial reports in the manner set out therein and had acted in a manner contrary to the public interest.

(iii)Litigation and regulatory inquiries relating to marketing, distribution, import and sale of products

On April 17, 2023, a group of plaintiffs led by the Green Leaf (Ale Yarok) political party filed a Statement of Claim and Request for Approval of a Class Action on behalf of a purported class of Israeli cannabis consumers in the District Court of Tel Aviv, Israel, against 26 cannabis-related parties, including three Cronos Israel entities. The Statement of Claim alleges that the defendants violated certain laws relating to the marketing of medical cannabis products, including marketing to unlicensed cannabis consumers. The lawsuit seeks a total of ILS 420 million. The Cronos Israel defendants moved to dismiss the action on August 13, 2023. The court granted the motion (and similar motions filed by other defendants) on May 16, 2024, dismissing the plaintiffs’ petition for class certification without prejudice and their individual claims with prejudice, and ordering the plaintiffs to pay ILS 10 thousand to each of the defendants for costs. On July 14, 2024, the plaintiffs appealed to the Supreme Court of Israel seeking to overturn both the dismissal of plaintiffs’ individual claims and the award of costs. The appeal is pending.

On January 18, 2024, the Company was notified that the Trade Levies Commissioner of the Israel Ministry of Economy and Industry initiated a public investigation of alleged dumping of medical cannabis imports from Canada into Israel. On July 9, 2024, the Commissioner announced a preliminary determination proposing to impose an anti-dumping duty on Canadian licensed producers. Under the proposal, the Company would have been subject to a proposed duty of 369%. The Commissioner determined not to impose a provisional duty at that time pending the conclusion of the Ministry’s investigation. The Company responded to requests for information from the Ministry. On November 10, 2024, the Trade Levies Commissioner published final findings under which the Company would be subject to a proposed duty of 175%. A provisional duty is not being imposed at this time. The Commissioner’s findings are being evaluated by an ad hoc advisory committee, which is expected to make recommendations to the Ministers of Economy and Finance and the Finance Committee of the Knesset of whether to impose a duty. The Company cannot predict the outcome of the ad hoc committee’s review or the determinations of the Ministers of Economy or Finance, or the Finance Committee of the Knesset. On December 12, 2024, the Minister of Economy announced a conflict of interest and recused himself from the evaluation of whether to impose a duty. As of the date of this filing, no government minister has been substituted for the Minister of Economy.

On July 25, 2024, a group of cannabis cultivators filed an administrative petition in the District Court of Jerusalem, Israel, against the Trade Levies Commissioner and certain Israeli and Canadian businesses. The administrative petition sought a court order requiring the Trade Levies Commissioner to impose a temporary duty on cannabis imported from Canada during the pendency of the investigation until the date on which a final determination is made by the Ministry of Economy whether to impose a duty. On September 9, 2024, the Company filed a motion to join the litigation; the court granted the Company’s motion on September 23, 2024. On February 6, 2025, the court dismissed the administrative petition.

We expect litigation and regulatory proceedings relating to the marketing, distribution, import and sale of our products to increase.

13. Income Taxes

For financial reporting purposes, income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes includes the following components:

The income (loss) before income taxes above excludes losses from discontinued operations ofnil, $4,114 and $13,556 for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Income tax expense (benefit) consists of the following components:

As of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s current income taxes payable were $9, $64 and $32,956, respectively, related to current income tax expense. Included in other receivables as of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 is $3,110, $3,374 and $40, respectively, related to current income tax benefits.

Income tax differs from that computed using the combined Canadian federal and provincial statutory income tax rate of 26.5%. Reconciliation of the expected income tax to the effective tax rate in continuing operations is as follows:

The valuation allowance recorded against the loss on discontinued operations is not reflected in the effective tax rate reconciliation presented above for continuing operations.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company realized a capital gain for tax purposes of $479,800 as a result of Altria’s irrevocable relinquishment of its warrant on December 16, 2022, resulting in an increase in the total income tax expense reported for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The following table summarizes the significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities:

The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the Company’s generating sufficient taxable income in the years that the temporary differences become deductible. A valuation allowance has been provided for the deferred tax assets that the Company determined did not meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold under U.S. GAAP.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s valuation allowance was $200,284 and $216,241, respectively. The valuation allowance decreased by $15,957 during the year ended December 31, 2024, and increased by $2,042 during the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in the valuation allowance during the year ended December 31, 2024 was primarily due to the recognition of a portion of deferred tax assets for which a valuation allowance was recorded in the prior year. The increase in the valuation allowance during the year ended December 31, 2023, was primarily due to an increase in net operating loss carryforwards.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had net operating losses in Canada, the U.S., and Israel available to offset future years’ taxable income of approximately $197,515, $151,279, $17,049, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had net operating losses in Canada, the U.S., and Israel available to offset future years’ taxable income of approximately $253,521, $144,219, and $20,794, respectively. The net operating losses in Canada will begin to expire, for purposes of carryforward, in fiscal year 2033. The net operating losses in the U.S. can be carried forward indefinitely for federal purposes. The net operating losses in Israel can be carried forward indefinitely.

Utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to limitations under the tax laws applicable in each tax jurisdiction due to ownership changes that could occur in the future. These ownership changes could limit the amount of net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets that can be utilized to offset future taxable income and tax expense. Due to the existence of the valuation allowance, limitations created by ownership changes, if any, will not impact the Company’s effective tax rate.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company has various scientific research and experimental development investment tax credit carryforwards of $4,165 related to Canadian operations, which, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2040. Investment tax credits are recognized when realization of the tax credits is more likely than not.

The Company files federal income tax returns in Canada, Israel and the U.S. The Company has open tax years with the taxation jurisdictions. These open years contain certain matters that could be subject to differing interpretations of applicable tax laws and regulations and tax treaties, as they relate to the amount, timing, or inclusion of revenue and expense. As of December 31, 2024, Cronos Group USA Holdings Company Limited, a former wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is under examination with the Canadian Revenue Agency for tax years 2020 and 2021.

Accounting guidance clarifies the accounting for uncertain tax positions and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Additionally, the authoritative guidance addresses the derecognition, classification, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions. Only tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold may be recognized. There wereno identified unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, deferred income taxes have not been provided for any undistributed earnings from operations outside of Canada. The foreign subsidiaries have accumulated losses and as such the amount of undistributed earnings upon which income taxes have not been provided is immaterial to these consolidated financial statements.

14. Segment Information

Segment reporting is prepared on the same basis that the CODM manages the business, makes operating decisions and assesses the Company’s performance. The CODM is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Company operates as a single segment with the purpose of providing high-quality cannabis products to adult-use, wholesale, and medical market customers globally. The consolidated results are regularly reviewed by the CODM to assess the performance of the Company’s single segment operations and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources. The CODM reviews adjusted earnings (loss) before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) as the measure of segment profit or loss to evaluate performance of and allocate resources for its reportable segment. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and non-cash items and items that do not reflect management’s assessment of ongoing business performance. The CODM believes Adjusted EBITDA provides the most useful insight into underlying business trends and results and provides a more meaningful comparison of period-over-period results. In addition, certain significant expenses are regularly reviewed by the CODM and considered for business decisions and allocation of resources; these significant expenses include: sales and marketing, research and development, general and administrative, depreciation and amortization, and share-based compensation expense, which are presented within operating expenses on the Company’s consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). Furthermore, the CODM regularly reviews total cash and short-term investments to aid in capital allocation decisions.

The tables below set forth consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and significant expenses for our single segment:

The following tables set forth a reconciliation of net income (loss) as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated:

(i)For the year ended December 31, 2024, impairment loss on long-lived assets included $14,258 related to the write-down of our Ginkgo exclusive licenses and $1,631 related to the cessation of operations of Cronos Fermentation. For the year ended December 31, 2023, impairment loss on long-lived assets related to certain leased properties associated with the Company’s former U.S. operations and impairment of the Ginkgo Collaboration Agreement’s CBCVA exclusive license.

16. Financial Instruments

(a)Fair value measurement

The Company complies with ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. In general, fair values are determined by:

•Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves.

•Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

(i)As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s influence on Vitura is deemed non-significant and the investment is considered an equity security with a readily determinable fair value. See Note 5 “Investments” for additional information.

There were no transfers between fair value categories during the periods presented.

(i)Other investments measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis relate to our investment in PharmaCann. See Note 5“Investments”.

There were no transfers between fair value categories during the periods presented.

(b)Financial risks

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk, interest rate risk, and foreign currency rate risk.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities, primarily accounts receivable and other receivables, and its investing activities, including cash held with banks and financial institutions, short term investments, loans receivable, and advances to joint ventures. The Company’s maximum exposure to this risk is equal to the carrying amount of these financial assets, which amounted to $904,101 and $966,442 as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

(i)Accounts receivable

The Company had accounts receivable of $15,462 and $13,984 as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date using a provision matrix to measure expected credit losses. The provision rates are based on the days past due for groupings of various customer segments with similar loss patterns. The calculation reflects the probability-weighted outcome, the time value of money and reasonable and supportable information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, and a failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 120 days past due. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had $7 and $3, respectively, in expected credit losses on receivables from contracts with customers.

The Company considers a major customer to be one with an accounts receivable balance of at least 10% of the consolidated total. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has assessed that there is a concentration risk of customers because 27% of accounts receivable was due from one customer. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has assessed that there is a concentration risk of customers because 37% of accounts receivable was due from one customer.

The Company sells products through a limited number of major customers. Major customers are defined as customers that each individually accounted for greater than 10% of the Company’s revenues. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company earned a total net revenue before excise taxes of $78,627 from two major customers, together accounting for 49% of the Company’s total net revenue before excise taxes. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company earned a total net revenue before excise taxes of $79,503 from three major customers, together accounting for 66% of the Company’s total net revenue before excise taxes. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company earned a total net revenue before excise taxes of $63,509 from three major customers, accounting for 55% of the Company’s total net revenues before excise taxes.

(ii) Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and other receivables

The Company held cash and cash equivalents of $858,805 and $669,291 as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The short-term investments and related interest receivable of $0 and $192,237 as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, represent short-term investments with a maturity of less than a year and accrued interest. The cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, including guaranteed investment certificates and bankers’ acceptances, are held with central banks and financial institutions that are highly rated. In addition to interest receivable, other receivables include sales taxes receivable from the government. As such, the Company has assessed an insignificant loss allowance on these financial instruments.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due and arises principally from the Company’s accounts payable. The Company had trade accounts payable of $4,563 and $8,887 as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, included in accounts payable on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s policy is to review liquidity resources and ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet financial obligations as they become due. Further, the Company’s management is responsible for ensuring funds exist and are readily accessible to support business opportunities as they arise.

The Company considers a major vendor to be one with a trade accounts payable balance of at least 10% of the consolidated total. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has assessed that there is a concentration risk of vendors because 10% of accounts payable was due to one vendor. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has assessed that there is a concentration risk of vendors because 26% of accounts payable was due to one vendor.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of, or future cash flows from, the Company’s financial instruments will significantly fluctuate due to changes in market prices. The value of financial instruments can be affected by changes in interest rates, market and economic conditions, and equity and commodity prices. The Company is exposed to market risk in divesting its investments, such that unfavorable market conditions could result in dispositions of investments at less than their carrying amounts. Further, the revaluation of securities classified as fair value through net income could result in significant write-downs of the Company’s investments, which would have an adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, unless these would flow through other comprehensive income.

The Company manages risk by having a portfolio of securities from multiple issuers, such that the Company was not materially exposed to any one issuer.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value or yield of fixed-income investments may decline if interest rates change. Fluctuations in interest rates may impact the level of income and expense recorded on the cash equivalents and short-term investments, and the market value of all interest-earning assets, other than those that possess a short term to maturity. A 10% change in the interest rate in effect on December 31, 2024 would not have a material effect on the fair value of our cash equivalents and short-term investments as the majority of the portfolio had a maturity date of three months or less. A 10% change in the interest rate in effect for 2024 would have an effect of $5.2 million on interest income, net earned on our cash equivalents and short-term investments. A 10% change in the interest rate in effect on December 31, 2023, would not have a material effect on fair value of the cash equivalents and short-term investments as the majority of the portfolio had a maturity date of three months or less. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had net interest income of $52,019 and $51,235, respectively.

Foreign currency risk

Currency rate risk is the risk that the fair value of, or future cash flows from, the Company’s financial instruments will significantly fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to this risk on investments in equity investments denominated in A$ and C$, and other assets and liabilities denominated in A$ and C$. The Company is further exposed to this risk through subsidiaries operating in Israel and the U.S. as the Company’s functional currency is in Canadian dollars. The Company does not currently use foreign exchange contracts to hedge its exposure to currency rate risk. As such, the Company’s financial position and financial results may be adversely affected by the unfavorable fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had foreign currency gain (loss) on translation of $(86,321) and $21,539, respectively. A 10% change in the exchange rates for the foreign currencies would affect the carrying amounts of net assets by approximately $40,125 and $97,678 as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

18. Restructuring

In the first quarter of 2022, the Company initiated a strategic plan to realign the business around its brands, centralize functions and evaluate the Company’s supply chain (the “Realignment”). As part of the Realignment, on February 28, 2022, the Board approved plans to leverage the Company’s strategic partnerships to improve supply chain efficiencies and reduce manufacturing overhead by exiting its production facility in Stayner, Ontario, Canada (the “Peace Naturals Campus”). On February 27, 2023, the Board approved revisions to the Realignment, under which the Company is maintaining select components of its operations at the Peace Naturals Campus, namely distribution warehousing, certain research and development activities and manufacturing of certain of the Company’s products. In the third quarter of 2023, the Board approved revisions to the Realignment to wind-down operations at Cronos Fermentation, list the Cronos Fermentation Facility for sale, and implement additional organization-wide cost reductions as the Company continues its Realignment initiatives. The Realignment initiatives were intended to position the Company to drive profitable and sustainable growth over time.

On November 26, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with Future Farmco Canada Inc. for the sale and leaseback of the Peace Naturals Campus. This agreement was subsequently terminated pursuant to its terms during the second quarter of 2024. The Company plans to continue and expand operations at the Peace Naturals Campus.

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company ceased operations at the Cronos Fermentation Facility, performed an assessment under ASC 360 of the recoverability of the carrying value of the Cronos Fermentation assets, and determined the carrying value of the assets was not fully recoverable. The fair value was estimated using a combination of the market and income approaches. As a result of this analysis, an impairment loss on long-lived assets of $1,631 was recorded to the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) in the year ended December 31, 2024. In addition, the Cronos Fermentation assets were classified as held-for-sale in the first quarter of 2024 at a fair value less costs to sell of $19,398 and continue to be classified as held-for-sale as of December 31, 2024. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company adjusted its sales strategy for the Cronos Fermentation assets to market the assets to a broader buyer pool, which resulted in the recognition of a loss on held-for-sale assets of $10,422 on the consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) in year ended December 31, 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company recorded an additional loss on these held-for-sale assets of $345.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred $630 of restructuring costs in its continuing operations in connection with the Realignment. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized $1,524 of restructuring costs in continuing operations in connection with the Realignment.
