Canopy Growth Corporation:

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Canopy Growth Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated June 1, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Fair value measurement of the liability arising from the Acreage financial instrument

As discussed in Notes 26 and 31 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has an obligation to acquire certain shares of Acreage Holdings, Inc., ("Acreage") in return for a specified number of the Company's common shares, and an option, exercisable at its discretion, to acquire certain other Acreage shares for cash or common shares of the Company as the Company may determine. The obligation and the option (collectively, the "Acreage financial instrument") become effective upon the occurrence (or waiver by the Company) of specified changes in United States ("US") federal laws relating to cannabis (the "Acreage Triggering Event"). The Acreage financial instrument is recorded at fair value through earnings in the consolidated financial statements at each reporting period. As of March 31, 2021, the Acreage financial instrument was recorded as a financial liability of $600,000 thousand, with fair value changes of $(399,849) thousand recognized in other income (expense), net in the year ended March 31, 2021.

We identified the assessment of the fair value measurement of the liability arising from the Acreage financial instrument as a critical audit matter. There was a high degree of subjective auditor judgment in the evaluation of the key assumptions that were not directly observable, including the probability of different scenarios when determining the fair value. The key assumptions included the probability of each scenario, the number of the Company's shares to be issued, the probability and timing of US legalization, the estimated premium on US legalization, the control premium, and the market access premium.

F-2

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of the internal control over the Company's key assumptions noted above. We involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge who assisted in evaluating the Company's key assumptions noted above by assessing each scenario and the probability of each scenario being achieved for the resultant impact at the expected Acreage Triggering Event date. The evaluation was achieved by:

  • performing sensitivity analyses on certain assumptions for each scenario
  • evaluating the probability of each scenario and assessing its impact on the fair value of the Acreage financial instrument
  • evaluating the probability of the occurrence of the Acreage Triggering Event by monitoring political developments and the potential for relevant legislation in the US
  • evaluating assumptions about the market impact of US legalization of cannabis and assessing the extent to which the anticipated legalization of cannabis is reflected in the Acreage share price
  • comparing certain assumptions to evidence obtained from internal and external sources.

Fair value measurement of the Tranche B Warrants

As discussed in Notes 22, 26 and 31 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company entered into certain agreements with Constellation Brands, Inc. in the prior year to amend previously issued warrants and replace them with Tranche A, Tranche B, and Tranche C Warrants. These warrants were initially recorded at their fair values and subsequent changes in the fair value of the Tranche B and Tranche C Warrants are recorded in earnings. As of March 31, 2021, the fair values of the Tranche B and Tranche C Warrants were $615,575 thousand, and $nil, respectively, with fair value changes of $(293,084) thousand and nil, respectively, recognized in other income (expense), net in the year ended March 31, 2021.

We identified the assessment of the fair value measurement of the Tranche B Warrants as a critical audit matter. Specifically, there was a high degree of subjectivity and judgment in evaluating the expected share price volatility inputs used in the Monte Carlo model for the Tranche B Warrants. Historical and implied volatility levels provided a range of possible expected volatility inputs and the fair value estimate for the Tranche B Warrants was sensitive to the expected share price volatility inputs.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of the internal control over the Company's process to measure the fair value of the Tranche B Warrants. This included the Company's assessment of the observable market information used in the determination of the expected share price volatility inputs. We involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in evaluating the expected share price volatility inputs by comparing them against a volatility range that was independently developed in consideration of historical and implied share price volatility information.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors

Canopy Growth Corporation:

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited Canopy Growth Corporation's (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated June 1, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Annual Report on Form 10-K under the section entitled "Item 9A. Controls and Procedures". Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
