NANAIMO, B.C. — Tilray Inc. incurred a US$2.9-million loss in its latest quarter, just as the company was signing a blockbuster deal to merge with competitor Aphria Inc.

The Nanaimo, B.C.-based cannabis business says that fourth quarter net loss was down “significantly” from the US $219.1 million net loss it reported during the same quarter the year prior.

The loss for the period ended Dec. 31 amounted to 2 cents per share US, which compared with a loss of US $2.14 per share the year before.

Financial markets data firm Refinitiv said analysts had expected Tilray, which keeps its books in U.S. dollars, to report a loss of 14 cents per share US.

Tilray says its revenue reached US$56.5 million, up from US$46.9 million previously.
