Hexo reports $67.9M loss in Q4 as Zenabis acquisition closed

Hexo Corp. reported a $67.9 million net loss in its latest quarter as the company closed its acquisition of Zenabis Global Inc.

The Ottawa-based cannabis firm’s fourth-quarter loss compared with $169.5 million in the same quarter last year.

Hexo says its net loss amounted to 89 cents per share for the period ended July 31, down from a loss of $7.08 per share in the fourth quarter of 2020.

The company’s net revenue from sale of goods totalled $38.6 million, up from $27 million at the same time last year.

Hexo says its recent, $235-million purchase of Zenabis contributed $6.8 million in net revenue to the quarter.

Hexo’s quarter was presented by chief executive Scott Cooper, who took over leadership of the company last week after co-founder Sebastien St-Louis departed amid a strategic reorganization.
