Canopy produces and sells a diverse range of cannabis, hemp, and consumer packaged goods products for use in both medical and recreational applications.
The securities class action alleges that Canopy made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) there were material weaknesses in Canopy's internal controls over financial reporting; (2) there were problems with Canopy's reporting related to how it booked its BioSteel Sports Nutrition Inc. ("BioSteel") sales; and (3) as a result of the foregoing, the Company overstated its revenue.
On May 10, 2023, after the market closed, Canopy announced that it would have to restate its financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 and the last three quarters of fiscal year 2022 and should no longer be relied on. The Company disclosed that an internal review found "certain trends in the booking of sales" by BioSteel and material misstatements in prior financial statements related to BioSteel sales that were accounted for incorrectly. On this news, the price of Canopy stock fell 14.75% to close at $1.04 per share on May 11, 2023 on elevated trading volume.
