Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks Cronos Group Inc names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 26, 2026: 72 risks under these headings, as written.7

  • Risks Relating to Our Growth Strategy.
  • We have a limited operating history and therefore we are subject to many of the risks common to early-stage enterprises.
  • We may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability and may continue to incur losses in the future.
  • We may not be able to successfully manage changes in our business or sustain our growth.
  • Our use of joint ventures exposes us to risks associated with jointly owned investments.
  • There can be no assurance of continued growth in Israel and our performance in Israel depends on, among other things, our ability to continue to import cannabis into Israel and our joint venture partners.
  • Our acquisition strategy may not be successful, and we have in the past, and may in the future, need to write down goodwill and intangible assets recognized upon acquisition.
  • Consummation of our planned acquisition of CanAdelaar is subject to closing conditions and regulatory approvals, and the transaction may be delayed, incur additional costs, or fail to close. If completed, we may face integration challenges and future unforeseen obligations based on CanAdelaar’s operating performance following closing.
  • We have had multiple restatements and material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting in the past. We have experienced significant turnover, both voluntary and involuntary, in our accounting and financial reporting functions, as well as in our internal audit function. If we are unable to create and maintain an appropriate control environment, our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and reputation will be adversely affected.
  • We are subject to disabilities as a result of our settlement with the SEC that may expose us to increased future litigation and adversely affect our ability to raise capital.
  • There can be no assurance that our current and future strategic alliances or expansions of existing relationships will have a beneficial impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
  • Wholesale price volatility could have a material adverse effect on our business.
The other 60 risks
  • We may be unable to obtain adequate supplies of raw materials in a timely manner and at commercially reasonable prices.
  • Our option to purchase a significant portion of Cronos GrowCo’s production could strain Cronos GrowCo’s ability to develop, maintain and grow profitable relationships with third-party customers.
  • Termination or non-renewal of the Cronos GrowCo Supply Agreement could have a material negative impact on our ability to obtain cannabis biomass at commercially viable prices.
  • We may not successfully execute or sustain our production capacity strategy.
  • We may not be able to successfully procure rare cannabinoids at commercially viable prices or in the quantities that we require.
  • There can be no assurance that recent operational and strategic initiatives will have a beneficial impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The timing, costs and benefits thereof cannot be guaranteed.
  • The industries and markets in which we operate are relatively new and may not continue to exist or grow as anticipated, and we may ultimately be unable to succeed in these industries and markets.
  • We may not be able to supply the purchasers in various provinces and territories of Canada with our products in the quantities or prices anticipated, or at all, due to the discretion such purchasers have over purchasing, pricing, and product listings.
  • The adult-use cannabis market in Canada has in the past been and may in the future become oversupplied.
  • We may be unsuccessful in competing in the legal adult-use cannabis market in Canada.
  • We are subject to liability arising from any fraudulent or illegal activity by our employees, contractors, manufacturers and consultants.
  • Some jurisdictions may never develop markets for cannabis.
  • Our U.S. strategy in part depends on the success of the PharmaCann Investment and there is no guarantee that we will exercise the PharmaCann Option in the near term, or at all, and, even if exercised, that the PharmaCann Investment will achieve the expected benefits of the PharmaCann Investment.
  • We rely largely on our own market research to forecast sales and market demand and market prices may differ from our forecasts.
  • We could have difficulty integrating the operations of businesses that we have acquired and will acquire.
  • We have been, and may in the future be, required to write down intangible assets, including goodwill, due to impairment, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position.
  • Risks Relating to Operations in Israel
  • Conditions in Israel could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
  • Our operations may be disrupted by the obligations of personnel to perform military service.
  • The imposition of an anti-dumping duty on our imports into Israel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
  • Risks Relating to Our Products
  • There is limited long-term data with respect to the efficacy and side effects of cannabis and cannabinoids, and future clinical research studies on the effects of cannabis and cannabinoids may lead to conclusions that dispute or conflict with our understanding and belief regarding their benefits, viability, safety, efficacy, dosing and social acceptance.
  • Clinical trials of cannabis-based medical products and treatments have a limited history, and any trials may not result in commercially viable products and treatments.
  • The controversy surrounding vaporizers and vaporizer products may materially and adversely affect the market for vaporizer products and expose us to litigation and additional regulation.
  • Future research may lead to findings that vaporizers, electronic cigarettes and related products are not safe for their intended use.
  • We, or the cannabis industry more generally, may receive unfavorable publicity or become subject to negative consumer perception.
  • We may be subject to litigation in the ordinary course of our marketing, distribution and sale of our products.
  • We may be subject to product liability claims.
  • Our products have in the past and may in the future be subject to recalls.
  • We rely on third-party testing and analytical methods which are validated but have not yet been standardized.
  • We may not be able to successfully develop new products or find a market for their sale.
  • The Canadian excise duty framework may adversely affect our profitability.
  • Our business may be impacted by conditions in the global economy and financial markets, including changes in inflation, interest rates, trade policy and overall economic conditions.
  • Risks Relating to Production and Distribution of Products
  • Our production facilities, and those of our strategic joint ventures, are integral to our operations, and any adverse changes or developments affecting such facilities may impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
  • We have in the past and may in the future experience unauthorized access to our information technology systems or other cybersecurity incidents, which could disrupt our operations and have a material adverse effect on our business.
  • Any actual or perceived failure by us to comply with laws, regulations or any other obligations relating to privacy, data protection or the protection or transfer of personal data, could adversely affect our business.
  • Our cannabis cultivation operations are subject to risks inherent in an agricultural business.
  • The inability of our suppliers to meet their financial or contractual obligations to us may result in disruption to our supply chain and could result in financial losses.
  • We rely on third-party distributors and manufacturers to distribute and manufacture certain of our products, and those distributors and manufacturers may not perform their obligations.
  • Risks Relating to Intellectual Property
  • We are subject to risks related to the protection and enforcement of our intellectual property rights, and we may be unable to protect or enforce our intellectual property rights.
  • We may be unable to protect our inventions, trade secrets, and other intellectual property from discovery or unauthorized use or disclosure.
  • Our intellectual property rights may be invalid or unenforceable under applicable laws, and we may be unable to have issued or registered, and unable to enforce, our intellectual property rights.
  • We may be subject to allegations that we are in violation of third-party intellectual property rights, and we may be found to infringe third-party intellectual property rights, possibly without the ability to obtain licenses necessary to use such third-party intellectual property rights.
  • Our germplasm relies heavily on intellectual property, and we may be unable to protect, register or enforce our intellectual property rights in germplasm and may infringe third-party intellectual property rights with respect to germplasm, possibly without the ability to obtain licenses necessary to use such third-party intellectual property rights.
  • We receive licenses to use some third-party intellectual property rights and germplasm; the failure of the owner of such intellectual property or germplasm to properly maintain or enforce the intellectual property underlying such licenses or germplasm, as the case may be, or our inability to obtain or maintain such licenses, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and performance.
  • The technologies, processes and formulations we use may face competition or become obsolete.
  • Risks Relating to Entry into New Markets
  • Entering into new jurisdictions is inherently risky, may not be successful and could be costly.
  • Our expansion into the Netherlands exposes us to unique regulatory and commercial risks associated with the Dutch cannabis market.
  • Controlled substance and other legislation and treaties may restrict or limit our ability to research, manufacture and develop a commercial market for our products outside of the jurisdictions in which we currently operate, and our expansion into such jurisdictions is subject to risks.
  • Investments and joint ventures outside of Canada are subject to the risks normally associated with any conduct of business in foreign countries, including varying degrees of political, legal, regulatory and economic risk.
  • Risks Relating to Regulation and Compliance
  • We operate in highly regulated sectors where the regulatory environment is rapidly developing, and we may not always succeed in complying fully with applicable regulatory requirements in all jurisdictions where we carry on business.
  • We and our joint ventures and strategic investments are reliant on required licenses, authorizations, approvals and permits for our ability to grow, process, store and sell cannabis and cannabinoids which are subject to ongoing compliance, reporting and renewal requirements, and we may also be required to obtain additional licenses, authorizations, approvals and permits in connection with our business.
  • Changes in the laws, regulations and guidelines governing cannabis may adversely impact our business.
  • We are subject to certain restrictions of the TSX and Nasdaq, which may constrain our ability to expand our business internationally.
  • We are constrained by law in our ability to market and advertise our products.
  • Any rescheduling of U.S. Schedule I cannabis to Schedule III would have an uncertain impact on our business.
  • The legal and regulatory framework governing U.S. hemp and hemp-derived products is complex, evolving, and subject to significant uncertainty.
  • Risks Relating to Competition
  • The markets in which we operate are increasingly competitive, and we may compete for market share with other companies, both domestically and internationally, that may have longer operating histories and more financial resources, manufacturing, distribution, and marketing experience than us.
  • We face competition from the illegal cannabis market.
  • Regulatory non-compliance by licensed cannabis competitors may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
  • We have been and may in the future be required to write down inventory due to downward pressure on market prices, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position.
  • We may be unable to attract or retain skilled labor and personnel with experience in the cannabis sector and may be unable to attract, develop and retain additional employees required for our operations and future developments.
  • Risks Relating to the Altria Investment

Legal proceedings

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business and in connection with its marketing, distribution and sale of its products. Many of these legal proceedings are in the early stages of litigation and seek damages that are unspecified or not quantified. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe these legal proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition but could be material to its results of operations for any particular reporting period depending, in part, on its results for that period. See Part II, Note 12(b) “Contingencies,” to the consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Annual Report for a description of legal proceedings.
