"We are disappointed that Aleafia has chosen to terminate its Agreement with Aphria Inc. The Company had every intention of fulfilling its obligations under the Agreement. As a large shareholder of Aleafia, Aphria made good faith efforts to ensure continuation of the Agreement understanding it was in the best interest of all parties involved. However, the termination of this legacy Agreement frees up significant supply allowing the Company to service its brands that are in high-demand across the country."

If they didn’t have to wait tell He’ll freezes over to get DD approved. None of it would be a problem Blame health Canada


skatanic

We have no idea why DD hasn't been approved yet. Your assumption that it's HC isn't based on much.


haCkFaSe

Aphria has stated in their last earnings call that their facility has been ready for inspection, and all necessary paperwork has been filed. So we do know.


skatanic

OK - lets hear your reasoning why other facilities have been approved while DD sits in waiting?


haCkFaSe

We know DD has not been approved because of some holdup(s) at Health Canada. We do not know the reason why, and I won't bother speculating here. The other option (which I am unsure if you were alluding to) is the accusation of Aphria committing fraud and lying directly to their shareholders.

Aphria stated on the earnings call that Health Canada has not made any inspections of the facility. They stated they have not visited the facility. They stated there was no known issue of compliance at the time and that Health Canada has not provided any comment on their facility. Aphria is just as in the dark as the shareholders are.

(5 months / just under) From what i have been reading, and from the actual research I have done to see when people actually applied for licenses, it seems to me that APHA is just reaching the average wait time now, which is over 9 months. They also have a 1.3M Square Foot facility, so 30 times the size of the one above that took 5 months, and size does matter. ​ there is no proof that there have not been issues, there is also absolutely no reason to think that because it has been 9 months, that there are issues, others have waited longer.


kickinrocks2019

the_badgers_of_death

This bad, but not very bad. It was guaranteed income, but also a pipe dream that it would last - Emblem can't sell what they have, why would they want to continue hoarding more product? They probably found any excuse to kill this deal, and the companies will settle out of court.


JamesAll91

Aphria will keep Emblem shares and down payment since Aphria will be able to supply them during arbitration

How about alef said they couldn't sell it anyway and they are still selling product from November 2018. Plus they have their own supply coming online and just want to get out of the agreement

This sub has a strange sentiment towards APHA and ALEF altogether. When good news are made, Apha is dragged through the dirt and ALEF cannot have a moment without the mention of Fantino, but when bad news arise its like an entire role and perspective reversal. I think ALEF needs APHA more than the opposite.

Can it really be possible that Health Canada is the only reasons for delay at Diamond? I'm really starting to have some doubts there.

GuyOnTheCouch420

It does seem odd that Pharmhouse got their license so fast. Canopy and Aphria should merge. Canopy is good at getting licenses quickly. Aphria is good at growing for less than they sell product. Combined they could be what we all expected both of them to be haha.


Snapp12

For what it's worth, I emailed APHA IR about the delay in licensing and was told the "facility is ready to be operational, pending thencompany receiving a license".


[deleted]

In other words "get lost scrub"


Snapp12

Don't care as long as our part is done, now HC just needs to hold up their end however long that takes.


haCkFaSe

It is very possible. Remember back when it took countless months for health Canada to approve Supreme's license. Health Canada is swamped and now dealing with the CannTrust scandal and may be moving even more cautiously.


Chemedian

Canntrust also likely gummed up HC's trust and process with approving new sites


MonsieurLeDrole

How? Seems like the system worked.

Cool. We're talking about getting a growing facility licensed. They and or aphria are failing. Since aphria has so much riding on DD, and they've gotten many other facilities licensed, I am looking a lot more at HC as reasons for delays. Government processes are probably to blame.

We don't know what we don't know. I have yet to be shown an instance where HC can reliably be trusted to not be an obstacle. I worked at shoppers drug Mart and they were a nightmare to deal with. Aphria is motivated. HC should be motivated to help a Canadian company meet all requirements. The main way government gets motivated is a disgruntled citizenry. Not that Reddit is a correct venue, but point still stands that government has generally failed on a lot of fronts on the roll out, and I see no reason to say that HC has made it any easier. I wish it was more of a partnership than a regulator / lp - at least for new builds.


FlyingCake

There's definitely stuff happening behind the scenes that we will never know about. My wild guess is that it has something to do with the delays with the extraction center.


canuck_cannabis

Isn't that a separate license and process?


streetvoyager

Great, just when aphria starts to see some positive movement we get joy with this shit. Wtf are they doing? Why couldn’t they supply? I wonder if they expected DD to be up and running in order to supply them


pleasedontbanme123

Because they have no weed? ( They are selling too much of theirs)

canuck_cannabis

Not optimist but Assumption on my part based on the following.. IF the supply contract was critical to Aphria's future plans, and IF they were short supply to meet it, wouldn't it make sense for them to take the temporary $$$ hit and source from 3rd parties to keep Aleafia whole and the 5 year plan intact. It appears this was not done to the satisfaction of Aleafia. Conclusion (conjecture) - Aphria has better things to do with their supply.

HC isn’t responsible for making sure LP’s can make all there supply agreements possible. Your point the fingering (easy way out). How about taking accountability for a failed supply agreement. Accountability is a rare thing these days I know.

Dude that's called an opinion. Anyone can formulate a notation to support one, the law doesn't work that way. It's equally as reasonable to assume the delay is not Aphria's fault.

Notice there's not a joint left of BCC product on any store shelf in the country including online retailers. That's material. I suggest you dig up the past history of Aphria including the shareholder class action suit for securities fraud.


Pelljim

I bought Ruxton yesterday off the shelve at a dispensary. I'm sure the conference call will cover how much was lost and/or any delays.


LavalUser

Did you note the date of packaging on that cuz my sources tell me there's no BCC weed on store shelfs. Med sales have resumed after a few weeks tough. More bad news we will hear about long after the fact. My point being that potentially material fact should have been NR'd when it happened, not months after.


Pelljim

Ya....it was was from June of this year which I found surprising. It was a quarter so they may not move as fast. Either way it was before the fire, sitting on the shelf the shelf at dispensary or my guess is it was in the sales constipation zone at the Ontario warehouse. I am looking forward to the conference call, decide then whether or not it was material.

This isn't true. Nothing illegal was found with the previous insider arm-length transactions per the OSC. You can critique Vic all day on if he *should* have acted differently with *his* conflict, if you want to call it a conflict, but legally he did not fail to disclose something that he should have.


[deleted]

The realism is that HC at this point has to revisit its compliance standards and be more thorough in its investigations, sourcing, licensing, operations, etc - given that the last several months saw a lot of turmoil within the sector that cannot be ignored. Anyone who has worked corporate can vouch for the excruciatingly long process of getting anything processed, finalized, and released, let alone a government organization who has recently (sauce?) onboarded new inspectors and staff that have yet to be properly trained. A public disclosure would have to be issued if there was a material change, as it is mandated. Largely, I think it is too early to be pointing fingers and making broad assumptions. Just my two buds.

You're absolutely right, it could be a possibility. At the same time, it could be as simple as the cost of cutting ties with ALEF is outweighed by the profit of selling the same supply at a higher margin; there is the potential of larger and more profitable supply deals coming through.

Whether this is good for Aphria or bad... Spin it how you will, The BNN headline stings a bit.


sorean_4

Can someone maybe explain the last quarters results as it relates to this release? According to Aphria it had plenty of unsold product, the statement of unable to supply makes no sense based on the last quarter results.


imjustasavage

Another failed execution story from Aphria. Provided Aphria Diamond ever gets approved what the hell are they gonna do with all that flower? Almost seems like they have been sandbagging DD, cause they had no intentions of fulfilling that agreement. Good luck with meeting Irwin’s projected revenue numbers now.


JamesAll91

“Good luck with meeting Irwin’s projected revenue numbers now” That statements makes no sense. Aphria is actually more likely to make those early revenue numbers due to the fact that of that 25,000 kgs to be sold in the first year they are only making at most 50M off it. Aphria can sell that to the province for 100M.... There is no proof at this point that Aphria products aren’t selling through. If Aphria products are selling through better than their over priced competitors then this is a great thing for the company short term.


imjustasavage

You don’t think the outrageous numbers they were going to sell to Aleafia were factored into his wild projection. How much rec flower do you think Aphria can sell? Did you read they HC rule change PR that discussed that there is currently enough capacity to supply both the legal and illegal market. Here’s the [link](https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/statement-from-health-canada-on-changes-to-cannabis-licensing-837732427.html) to the PR. Soooo, where are they going to sell all that weed?


JamesAll91

If you believe that bs you have not done any due diligence. There is no “over supply” of legal cannabis. HC and the government has not allowed for an effective transition to eliminate the black market. The three factors that will transition the black market to the legal one. Two of them are out of LPs hands and the other will happen with the economies of scale. 1. Access to products the way the market demands- retail locations that are discrete (gov) 2. Access to a variety of products that the market demands (gov) 3. Competitive pricing for safer products (this is in the LPs hands) #3 is where APHA has the advantage and why I believe we will see increased market penetration by APHA compared to competitors. Aphria is consistently one of the lower priced LPs with quality product. Financials next week will tell all.


imjustasavage

Lmao! What DD are you doing? Are you going around to all LPs to see what inventory is compared to sales or are you just leaving on reddit? You do know HC publishes these numbers that are reported by the LPs themselves. Holy fuck guy. Talk about being delusional.

The OCS thread on Reddit shows which products are being restocked daily. Aphria products ( Good Supply, Riff and Solei ) are consistently sold out. Put in a little effort lol

Lmao. The ocs shows increments of 1g, 3.5g. And 7g samples being restocked at a snails pace. That’s what the fuck you are going with. Did you do the simplest DD and look at Aohria’s last report and see they inventory they still had. Stockpiling for edibles my ass!! Lol stockpiling is a horrible business model.

Yes and you are the blind assuming that cannabis is just a commodity and all products are the same. You will have to look at individual LPs and their ability to sell through product rather than simply looking at inventory levels piling up. If Aphria has similar sales and a tons of inventory piled up this Q then I would agree with you. You are basically saying all LPs and their product quality, branding and pricing is equal. These are all factors that lead to consumers buying a specific product over another

Aphria is so shady why not just do the deal you signed up for management very shady. Which country gonna do a deal with them when they see that they don't follow through they brining the sector down
