Yahoo Finance Loss-Making Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ:TLRY) Expected To Breakeven
Tilray, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:TLRY): Tilray, Inc. engages in the research, cultivation, processing, and distribution of medical cannabis. The US$869m market-cap posted a loss in its most recent financial year of -US$321.2m and a latest trailing-twelve-month loss of -US$475.9m leading to an even wider gap between loss and breakeven. As path to profitability is the topic on TLRY’s investors mind, I’ve decided to gauge market sentiment. Below I will provide a high-level summary of the industry analysts’ expectations for TLRY.

TLRY is bordering on breakeven, according to the 15 Pharmaceuticals analysts. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2021, before turning a profit of US$13m in 2022. Therefore, TLRY is expected to breakeven roughly 2 years from now. In order to meet this breakeven date, I calculated the rate at which TLRY must grow year-on-year. It turns out an average annual growth rate of 84% is expected, which signals high confidence from analysts. If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, TLRY may become profitable much later than analysts predict.
Given this is a high-level overview, I won’t go into details of TLRY’s upcoming projects, though, take into account that typically a pharma company has lumpy cash flows which are contingent on the drug and stage of product development the business is in. So, a high growth rate is not out of the ordinary, particularly when a company is in a period of investment.
One thing I would like to bring into light with TLRY is its debt-to-equity ratio of over 2x. Typically, debt shouldn’t exceed 40% of your equity, which in TLRY’s case, it has significantly overshot. Note that a higher debt obligation increases the risk around investing in the loss-making company.
