In international markets.
Lee I am disappointed with our performance during the quarter.
Net revenues declined $3 million.
The performance in Europe was primarily the result of supply constrained and internal process challenges.
Lauer stores sales in Europe did not meet the required quality standards.
And then turtle process gaps limited our ability to deliver supplies to Germany from a Canadian GMP facilities.
I want to be clear.
And it would be growth is fully committed to the European market.
We have already Bob.
Boswellize, a dedicated effort to improve supply chain execution, which includes daily management oversight of logistics product Roadmaps and licensing.
We expect operations to stabilize our began improving as we exit exit the fiscal year with international markets remaining a key part of our path to profitability.
That's sort of the vehicle the launch of the New Z E.
Z Vaporizer was received with great enthusiasm by consumers globally and generated early sales momentum, helping contribute to sequential quarter over quarter revenue growth.
While <unk> contributed three weeks our performance during the quarter were seeing positive signals into Q3, and together with all of the seasonality expect continued growth through the remainder of the year.
Looking ahead I am encouraged by the momentum that stores in vehicle.
The team's commitment to pursue precision engineering medical grade quality and design excellence continues to set the brand apart and Thats, what will drive performance in the long run.
On our priority expenses.
SG&A savings program launched earlier this fiscal as delivered over 21 million in annualized savings.
Supplier, surpassing our $20 million target ahead of schedule.
As we build a culture of fiscal responsibility.
<unk> continues to identify additional savings opportunities, while delivering top line growth.
On profitability, we made strong progress this quarter with margin expansion and disciplined cost management, that's moving us closer to positive adjusted EBITDA.
We're also taking further steps to meaningfully lower our cost of goods sold through streamlining processes.
Smart investment to deliver improved yield and quality as well as tight or supplier management.
Before I close I'd like to touch on the Canadian Federal government's recent proposal to reduce reimbursement for veterans, who use crest <unk> medical cannabis.
These proposed changes of the potential to seriously and Buck access and quality of the care and services that veterans of come to rely on.
As one of Canada's leading medical cannabis providers.
We believe consistency and fairness and access to care is critical.
We're continuing to assess the proposed changes and are engaging across the country to ensure that needs of patients remain front and center.
In closing.
Q2 demand strayed, a continued progress across our core businesses.
The positive momentum in our Canadian medical adult adult use businesses at <unk>.
Expanded product lineup at stores that vehicle.
And it's Eric should plan underway to improve execution in our international markets to drive future success.
As we further sharpened our focus on quality patient and consumer experiences and disciplined execution.
<unk> would have the right strategy focus and team to become a trusted global provider of elevated cannabis experiences.
Thank you.
Now I'll turn the call over to Tom to walk through the financial results in more detail.
Thank you Luke and good morning, everyone.
I am proud of our disciplined execution, including stronger financial performance rigorous cost saving initiatives significantly deleveraged balance sheet and sustained cash flow improvements.
Our adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed significantly year over year, driven by growth in the Canadian cannabis business, along with lower SG&A expenses and efficiency gains.
As a result of the progress made we have eliminated the conditions that once raise substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
This is a significant accomplishment for canopy growth.
We had $298 million of cash and cash equivalents as of September 32025, which exceeded that balances by $70 million.
During Q2, we prepaid $50 million U S dollars on our senior secured term loan capturing roughly $6 5 million U S dollars in annualized interest savings as a reminder, the company has no significant debt maturities prior to September 2027.
Moving to our detailed segment results and starting with canvas.
Q2, cannabis net revenue was $51 million up 12% compared to a year ago.
This growth was led by the Canadian adult use business up 30% year over year, primarily driven by strong consumer demand for our Claiborne infuse pre rolls and our new tweet all in one day offerings.
And in a medical also continued to perform well up 17% from the prior year supported by growth in patient registrations larger water volumes and a broader assortment of products on our spectrum therapeutics store.
International cannabis sales underperformed during Q2 decreased from 39% funded prior year, which was driven by supply challenges.
While we expect this decline in sales to improve in the back half of the year, we are proactively identifying opportunities to mitigate the near term impact on revenue and preserve our focus on consolidated profitability.
<unk> gross margin in Q2 was 31% down year over year, but up sequentially from 24% in Q1.
The sequential improvement in cannabis gross margin primarily reflects the impact of price increases on select Canadian products improved sales mix within Canada and improvements to flower and fulfillment costs.
These improvements were partially offset by the previously discussed European underperformance and inventory provisions.
I will now speak about the performance of our stores in the medical segment.
<unk> net revenue in Q2 was $16 million up 5% sequentially driven by strong consumer demand for the new vesey pay pricing.
Year over year revenue declined 10% as the prior year period benefited from strong <unk> and <unk> sales as well as strong performance on the back of a favorable German regulatory reforms.
Stores in Deco gross margins increased to 38% in Q2 compared to 32% in the prior year period.
Gross margins in the prior year were adversely impacted by discounts provided to clear off the remaining 90 stock which was retired in favor of a mighty plus device.
Moving onto operating expenses.
SG&A expenses in Q2 declined 13% year over year, reflecting disciplined cost management and the benefits of our ongoing restructuring program.
The decline in SG&A expenses year over year was primarily driven by reductions in head count and professional fees, partially offset by higher investments in advertising and promotions made in support of new product launches that occurred during the quarter.
Gross margins in the prior year were adversely impacted by discounts provided to clear out the remaining mighty stock, which was retired in favor of the Mighty plus device.

Since launching our cost saving initiatives in March we have achieved $21 million in annualized savings exceeding our initial $20 million target.

The challenges came from flowers source of.
Writing off.

Power in the future, but right now were really retooling.

Continued progress towards positive EBITDA any update in terms of from the key levers and timing of when you might expect to get to profitability I know something you guys have.
Not of writing.
Writing off.
Having third party flower in the future, but right now were really retooling the.
Intaglio route to market with our own growth flower, which we have enough capacity for the foreseeable future.

Continued progress towards positive EBITDA.
In terms of some of the key levers and timing of when you might expect to get to profitability. I know, it's something you guys have stopped doing in terms of specific timelines, but fair to say you would be disappointed if you didn't achieve it in sometime in calendar 2026, your fiscal year or the back half or front half from 27.
It's too early to speculate at this point in terms of when that would be but I think as you can see from the results. This has been our strongest quarter.
While albeit of lawsuits are narrower.
<unk> loss that we've had to.
To date in my recent memory. So I think the changes we're making in the organization is going to fully support that and well.
I would say Erin we're controlling what we can control and right now the cost savings measures for taken we know will empower us to to get to a improved adjusted EBITDA performance I think it's too early to speculate at this point in terms of when that would be but I think as you can see from the results. This has been our strongest quarter.
Pushing as much speak out here, if I may add on top of this.
Positive adjusted EBITDA as our main and remains our main priority. That's why we're over indexing and really retooling Europe to make sure we fired on all cylinders.
