On May 10, 2023, Canopy disclosed in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that “management of the Company identified certain trends in the booking of sales by the BioSteel Sports Nutrition Inc. (‘BioSteel’) business unit for further review.”  Accordingly, the Company “initiated an internal review of the financial reporting matters related to BioSteel (the ‘BioSteel Review’)” and “preliminarily identified material misstatements . . . related to sales in the BioSteel business unit that were accounted for incorrectly.”  Specifically, the Company “concluded that the Company’s (i) audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 (the ‘2022 10-K’), and (ii) unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2022, September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022, included in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for such quarterly periods (collectively, the ‘Form 10-Qs’ and together with the 2022 10-K, the ‘Prior Financial Statements’), should no longer be relied upon because of certain material misstatements contained in the Prior Financial Statements.  In addition, the reports of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm included in the 2022 10-K should no longer be relied upon.” 

On this news, Canopy’s stock price fell $0.18 per share, or 14.75%, to close at $1.04 per share on May 11, 2023.
