(TSE:APHA) (NYSE:APHA) tumbled Tuesday after it slashed its full year outlook and reported second quarter revenue that missed analyst expectations.
The Leamington, Ontario-based firm reported net revenue of C$120.6 million, an increase from the same period last year, but a decline from the C$126.1 million it reported in the prior quarter. Analysts expected Aphria to report C$130.4 million in revenue.
More concerning to investors was its adjusted forecast for fiscal 2020 of C$575 million to C$625 million, down from the C$650 million to C$700 million the company previously forecast. The decline in projections is owed to “market dynamics,” including slower-than-expected retail openings in Ontario, a temporary ban on vape products in Alberta, and a decline in growth in its German pharmaceutical distribution business, the company said in a statement.
As a result, shares slid 6% in New York to US$5.12 and 5.2% in Toronto to C$6.73.
