Canopy Growth Corp. reported the worst quarterly loss in its history as the company’s “value” cannabis sales declined as part of its business transition to “premium” products.

The Smiths Falls, Ontario-based business on Friday reported a first-quarter net loss of 2.1 billion Canadian dollars ($1.6 billion) after the struggling licensed producer booked goodwill impairments worth CA$1.7 billion related to its cannabis unit.
