Aurora Cannabis Inc. Announces Significant Progress in powdery mildew Disease Resistance Research Aurora Cannabis Inc. announced significant progress in its powdery mildew (PM) resistance research, nearly one year after the company's breakthrough discovery of a novel source of genetic resistance against powdery mildew, PM2. Since the initial discovery, Aurora has performed multiple rounds of crosses to transfer PM2 resistance into elite breeding lines. The research involves testing in breeding populations through controlled infection trials with high disease pressure, validating the durability and effectiveness of PM2 resistance. These trials are done to ensure that disease resistance is integrated into high-performing genetics without compromising quality traits, that are critical for patients and consumers globally. The company has recently shared its research at leading scientific and industry conferences, including the Plant & Animal Genome Conference, the Canadian Society for Horticultural Science & Canadian Society of Agronomy 2025 Conference, the 4th Annual Cannabis Scientific Symposium at the McGill Research Centre for Cannabis, and the PhotoX Conference. The proprietary genetic marker technology behind PM2 was developed by scientists at Aurora Coast, the company's world-class research and development facility, and builds from Aurora's previous collaboration with researchers at the University of British Columbia and research funding from Genome British Columbia. Should the production trials be successful, the company will look to commercialize PM-resistance cultivars later this year, which will protect plant health, reduce operational costs and improve product quality. As a global medical cannabis company enabled by science, Aurora continues to push the boundaries of cannabis science. By integrating advanced breeding techniques with rigorous research, Aurora is setting new standards for quality and efficiency, all while creating a strong production network to support existing and future markets. This intellectual property is currently patent pending in Canada, United States, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Israel. Reported Earnings • Nov 06

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of American stocks, typically moving 12% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 61% per year for the foreseeable future. High level of non-cash earnings (104% accrual ratio). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (59% increase in shares outstanding).

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 60% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (60% increase in shares outstanding).

Companies that are not profitable are more likely to be burning through cash and less likely to be well established.

Aurora Cannabis: Don't Let Your Money Go Up In Smoke Summary
Aurora Cannabis has been dead money for years, and the trend is bound to continue.
Company is bleeding cash and there's no immediate solution in sight for the impending liquidity problems.
We are not happy with the recent acquisition given the declining fundamentals.
Expected political changes will provide no catalyst for the stock going forward.
Thesis
With the recent acquisition, Aurora Cannabis (ACB) is even more of a stock for investors to avoid. The company has historically reported poor financial results despite major acquisitions, and the company is burning through cash rapidly as loan commitments are coming due. We believe that liquidity issues and an unfavorable political environment in the United States will continue to drive this stock price lower over the coming years.
Company Overview
Aurora Cannabis is a cannabis growing company based in Edmonton, Canada. Aurora operates a network of subsidiaries related to the cannabis industry, and the company owns numerous brands, such as San Rafael '71, Daily Special, CanniMed, Whistler Cannabis Co., and more. These brands create cannabis products for consumer and medical consumption. The stock has had abysmal return for investors, and the stock trades at around $1.675 compared to its historic high above $120 per share only a few years ago. The company now has a valuation of less than $500 million CAD.
ACB data by YCharts
Abysmal Performance and Returns
Aurora Cannabis has had poor financial performance in line with the poor stock price performance in the same time frame. The company is still down ~80% from its 52-week high of $8.69 and the stock price is correlated with the revenue decline. For a growth stock name, the company has actually seen its revenue decline over the past few years, even as the company aggressively acquired competitors. For the recent quarter, revenue has declined 9% YoY and has declined 17% QoQ. In addition, the company has reported a loss of $1 billion CAD in the recent quarter, and according to a report, the recent quarter increased the cumulative net losses of the company to roughly $5.3 billion CAD since 2015. These losses are astronomical, given that the cumulative losses are now 10x the current market capitalization of the company. The poor financial performance should immediately be a red flag to investors, and we believe that there is no immediate catalyst to turn this stock around anytime soon.
ACB data by YCharts
Liquidity Issues
For a company with such large losses, it is not hard to find that the company is exposed to major liquidity issues. In the most recent FY 2021 financial report, the company outlines that ~$494 million CAD are liabilities that are payable between one and three years. In that same time frame, the company reported that there's $332.4 million CAD in cash and cash equivalents, which is substantially below the pending commitments in the next few years. Given the liabilities and the negative earnings, liquidity is risk of the utmost issue, and it is unclear how management plans to navigate through this problem.
ACB FY 2021
We believe given management's history, we find it likely that the management will continue to keep the business afloat through dilutive actions and tapping into the debt markets, which will only further add debt to the unprofitable business. As seen below, the diluted shares outstanding for ACB has soared as a result of various acquisitions and financing needs. Just recently, the company announced a major acquisition at a price tag of ~$45 million CAD in cash. Regardless of the potential synergies through the acquisition, we find that the cash burn in addition to constant acquisitions are not recipes for success when the company's fundamentals continue to decline. We don't see that this trend will stop any time soon, and we believe that the company should be avoided at all costs as a result of its frivolous spend and impending liquidity crunch.
