Executive Summary
SNDL reported Q3 2026 net revenue of C$238.0 million, down 3% YoY from C$244.2 million, and a net loss of C$50.8 million versus a loss of C$13.3 million in Q3 2025. The wider loss was driven by a C$52.3 million asset impairment charge, primarily a C$52.0 million goodwill impairment in the cannabis operations segment due to lower-than-expected results and forecasts. Cannabis operations gross profit turned negative at C$(1.6) million (negative 6.0% margin) compared to C$5.0 million (13.4%) in Q3 2025, reflecting a 28% revenue decline in that segment. The company also contributed C$60.8 million to its SunStream joint venture during the quarter and repurchased 5.4 million shares for C$10.0 million. Cash and cash equivalents fell to C$132.5 million from C$252.2 million at year-end 2025.
