Background

Aurora's acquisition of  MedReleaf Australia earlier this year was a strategic expansion into one of the fastest-growing international markets. In February Aurora acquired the remaining approximately 90% equity interest of Indica Industries Pty Ltd (MedReleaf Australia) that it did not previously own for AUD$50 million. The debut of premium 1.2g resin cartridges in Australia followed.

At the time of acquisition, Aurora said the move was expected to achieve positive free cash flow in calendar 2024, as MedReleaf Australia generated 12-month net revenue of roughly AUD$40 million and was adjusted EBITDA and operating cash flow positive.

Prior to that, the company held a 10% ownership stake in MedReleaf Australia, which made possible the launch of CraftPlant, a new medical cannabis brand for patients in the Australian market in early 2023.
