[Michael Gorenstein, Chairman, President & CEO]

Thank you, Anna, and good morning, everyone. During my remarks, I will provide an overview of the company's strategy and the progress we are making on our objective to build a leading, innovative global cannabinoid company.But first, I want to take a moment and acknowledge the watershed event that took place for our company, our industry and for Canada. As we all know, less than 1 month ago, Canada became the first G7 country to legalize cannabis sales for adult use. And Cronos Group is a major participant in that market. The regulatory structure and legal framework that the Canadian government has created is part of the reason I left my life in New York and convinced members of our management team to leave their careers and move to Canada.What we understood, 2.5 years ago, when we set out on this journey, was the value of operating in a fully legal environment that would allow us to learn, build and create a company that has the potential to be a global industry leader. That is our opportunity in Canada today. It is to research and develop new innovative products that we can pilot into a large, diverse consumer market and collect consumer insights and continue to refine our product offering and then to create a turnkey solution that we can roll out into our expanding global platform as regulations evolve.At Cronos, we take pride in leading the industry forward responsibly, and are motivated to create meaningful products that bring our consumers enjoyment and improve their quality of life.As excited as we all are about this milestone and our participation in this new market, it's truly just the beginning. The growth opportunities for Cronos are vast and extend across the globe as markets open. With our commitment to cannabinoid innovation, our differentiated brands, global footprint and growing production capacity, Cronos is well positioned to realize these opportunities. The recent initiatives we launched with Ginkgo Bioworks and Technion are great examples of how we intend to use innovation and our growing IP portfolio to develop new applications for cannabinoid across a range of categories.To help set the table for our earnings call, I want to briefly review each pillar of our strategy. We are establishing infrastructure in order to create an efficient global production footprint. We are developing a diversified global sales and distribution network, we are creating and monetizing disruptive IP and growing a portfolio of iconic brands that resonate with consumers.Let me touch on each one of these strategic priorities and provide an update on what we are doing to drive it forward. I'll start with capacity. First, of course, is B4, our state-of-the-art production and research facility at the Peace Naturals campus, our wholly owned licensed producer and our center of excellence. B4 is the largest purpose-built indoor cannabis facility in the world. It was licensed and populated shortly after our Q2 earnings call and will have its first harvest this year. This facility operates as a manufacturing operation, and at full run rate, B4 will have a harvest every 3 days. This harvest schedule will allow us to control and maintain consistent inventory levels, while optimizing our labor force and utilizing our facility in a highly efficient manner. We expect to be harvesting at full annualized run rate in the second quarter of 2019. We're very proud of this facility and what we're able to build in such a short amount of time. Our approach to further scaling our capacity involves taking our genetics, growing methodologies and best practices developed at Peace to create co-manufacturing relationships with some of the most sophisticated agricultural operators around the world. In Canada, we launched a joint venture called Cronos GrowCo, with a group of investors led by Bert Mucci, a leading Canadian large-scale greenhouse operator. As a reminder, Cronos GrowCo is constructing an 850,000 square foot purpose-built GMP-standard greenhouse, which is expected to produce up to 70,000 kilos of cannabis annually. Construction of the greenhouse has begun, and we are tracking on schedule for a second half 2019 completion. I also want to provide an update on Cronos Australia and Cronos Israel. For Cronos Australia, we are currently reviewing alternative facility designs, given current and anticipated market opportunities, which may include an expansion of the previously announced indoor facility. To satisfy interim demand, Cronos Australia has applied for an import license to import and sell Peace Naturals branded medical products in the Australian market, as we finalize the new facility design and construction plans.Cronos Israel is currently constructing Phase I of our production plans at Kibbutz Gan Shmuel. As a reminder, the first phase involves building a 45,000 square foot greenhouse that is expected to produce up to 5,000 kilos and a 17,000 square foot manufacturing facility. Construction of the greenhouse and manufacturing facility are well underway, and we anticipate that construction of the greenhouse will be complete in the first half of 2019, and construction of the manufacturing facility will be complete in the second half of 2019.We purposely planned our construction in Israel through a phased approach, to allow for adjustment and developments in the regulatory framework and market demand. Although we expect Israel to allow for export in the near future, we believe the Phase I production could be used to meet the cannabis consumption demand within Israel.We've also brought our capacity model to Latin America. At the end of August, we announced a joint venture agreement with AGI, one of Colombia's leading agricultural service providers with over 30 years of research, development and production operations. This partnership established the newly formed entity NatuEra. NatuEra will be Cronos Group's production hub in Latin America that will develop, cultivate, manufacture and export cannabis-based products for LATAM and global markets. We're very excited that NatuEra will be led by AGI's executive team, Andres Nannetti and Nicolas Nannetti, who have extensive experience managing large-scale horticultural operations for export from Colombia. We searched extensively for the right partner in Latin America and are pleased to have found the AGI team.NatuEra intends to become a leading production platform for premium-quality cannabis-derived products, creating the cannabis industry's first contract manufacturing organization in Latin America. The facility is currently under design, and construction of a GMP-standard facility remains subject to obtaining all the necessary licenses, relevant permits and other customary approvals. In August 2018, NatuEra was granted a license to cultivate non-psychoactive cannabis plants.This quarter, the lead-up to this earnings call and conversations for a number of quarters to come will be dominated by Canada legalizing the cannabis recreational use market, thus opening an exciting, evolving and new distribution channel for Cronos Group in the cannabis industry.Starting on October 17, Cronos launched its recreational products in Ontario, British Columbia, Nova Scotia and PEI. We took a calculated approach to which provinces we supplied for launch in order to make sure we met the demand and could support our provincial partners with adequate supply. As everyone is now very much aware, there's still more demand than supply in every product category launch to date across every province. For the provinces we are supplying, we continue to build and establish our brands and ship product as quickly as we can. We're in the process of obtaining additional listings for new SKUs in the 4 provinces we currently serve, and are also in discussions with new provinces to list our brands in those markets. This is an evolving area for Cronos, one that we will continue to approach in a prudent and strategic manner, understanding the balance of demand and based on our supply as Building 4 continues its ramp. Our priority is to maintain a constructive and open relationship with the provinces, while providing the consumer with the highest-quality product.Our MedMen Canada joint ventures is currently in the process of obtaining the necessary licenses, permits and retail locations to create a premium MedMen branded retail experience, modeled after the iconic concept in the U.S. We look forward to reviewing the regulations for private retail in Ontario, which we expect imminently. As we have seen in Ontario, regulations are evolving, so our plan is to stay nimble, yet ready, when we have a more definitive understanding of the private retail landscape in Canada.In the third quarter, we also announced a supply agreement with Cura Select Canada. Cura signed a 5-year take-or-pay supply agreement to purchase a minimum of 100,000 kilos of cannabis from Cronos GrowCo over 5 years. As new distribution channels open, we have to balance supporting our existing global footprint and meeting the demand of the newly created channel. At this stage of our business, we are very cognizant of this delicate balance while our supply grows to meet the demands of our global distribution. We see Germany as extremely important for our global reach and plan to continue to grow and open this channel through our Peace Naturals branded medical products. To that end, we are pursuing regulatory pathways for additional nonsmokable products with our partners at Pohl-Boskamp who have expertise in the registration of new drugs in Germany.Additionally, in partnership with Delfarma, a pharmaceutical wholesaler and our exclusive distributor for the Poland market, we have identified the Peace Naturals products for export. In October 2018, the applications for import and marketing authorization were submitted by Delfarma to the local authorities, and we're awaiting their review for a new drug.Cronos is excited for the prospects of this new market, and we're taking the necessary steps that will open this channel in due time.On the last earnings call, I set the stage for what we want to accomplish and what we're striving for under the intellectual property pillar of our strategy. On this call, we have a lot to discuss in this area, but first, I want to reiterate the strategy. We are dedicated to creating, monetizing and building a moat around disruptive intellectual property. At Cronos, we seek to build the world's most innovative cannabinoid company, where we develop and research efficient processes to effectively produce and formulate the full spectrum of cannabinoids, not just THC and CBD.Our goal is to use the plant as a blueprint, in order to learn and then create differentiated active ingredients by reconstituting cannabinoids in combinations that have specific psychoactive effects and/or therapeutic benefits. We'll then formulate those active ingredients to optimize bioavailability and customize them to fit into the appropriate delivery systems. One of the ways we'll accomplish this goal is through our strategic partnership with Ginkgo Bioworks, which we announced in early September. We believe this landmark R&D partnership has the potential to disrupt the industry. For the benefit of new followers to the Cronos story, I'd like to briefly explain the significance of this announcement and the power of partnering with an unparalleled company like Ginkgo. Ginkgo is a 10-year-old company, although, true to their entrepreneurial spirit, they still call themselves a start-up. The company was founded by Tom Knight, who is referred to as the father of synthetic biology, and 4 of his PhD students from MIT. The company is well capitalized, having raised approximately USD 430 million to date, and partners with innovative industry leaders who are building disruptive technology for the future.Ginkgo understands that biology is the most advanced manufacturing technology on the planet. Biology is self-assembling, self-replicating and self-repairing. Biology builds renewably. Ginkgo scientists and engineers learn from nature, to develop new organisms using genetic engineering that can efficiently produce products using industrial fermentation. And that is where the cannabis industry and Cronos Group come in. Our landmark R&D partnership with Ginkgo was created to produce cultured cannabinoids at commercial scale. This not only includes THC and CBD, but also rare cannabinoids that are economically impractical or near impossible to produce at high purity and scale through traditional cultivation. Now let's pause here and talk about cultivation. Our reality is that cannabis cultivation is expensive, time-consuming and difficult to scale quickly. Cannabis plants have long growth cycles and require expensive and time-consuming postproduction processes to produce pure cannabinoids. Rare cannabinoids are present in less than 1% by dry weight within a plant. Moreover, there is currently no efficient agricultural or postproduction process solution to generate rare cannabinoids at commercial scale. And going back to our strategy, we at Cronos believe that rare cannabinoids are key to product differentiation, but today, they are nearly impossible to produce commercially. Simply put, by using fermentation, Cronos and Ginkgo could reduce the cost of cannabinoid production at commercial scale and enable the production of rare cannabinoids. Using this production methodology, we could leverage existing fermentation infrastructure like breweries or pharmaceutical CMOs, rather than incurring heavy CapEx to build and manage new cultivation and extraction facilities. Perhaps most importantly, we believe this technology will make it easier for us to deliver product consistency. The partnership is focused on 8 cannabinoids. Gingko will design microorganisms, which can produce these cannabinoids at scale using fermentation. The partnership is aligned to incentivize each party. Cronos common shares will be issued to Ginkgo, when each of the 8 cannabinoids can be produced for less than USD 1,000 per kilo of pure cannabinoid at a scale of greater than 200 liters. In total, 14.7 million shares will be issued in tranches based on each cannabinoid. In addition, Cronos will fund R&D and foundry expenses, which are expected to be USD 22 million. We think it will take up to 3 years to reach the equity milestones I described for the target cannabinoids. Upon reaching these milestones, Cronos will have the exclusive right to use and commercialize the key patented intellectual property, related to production of the target cannabinoids, perpetually and globally. We strongly believe this is what the future of cannabinoid production for derivative products will look like. We are learning from the cannabis plant and generating blueprints or recipes that can be made through either fermentation or extraction. We know that flower will continue to be a desirable and significant consumer product, but we believe, the production of derivative products will be achieved using cultured cannabinoids. While we believe that cannabinoids will be produced in a more direct method through biosynthesis in the future, extraction methodology is an important aspect of our business today, one that we're focused on optimizing and using best practices in order to achieve the highest-quality products. To that end, we filed a U.S. provisional patent application called plant extracts and methods for their production. In conventional extraction methodologies, heat is used in order to convert THCA into THC or to remove solvents. However, this process of applying heat will cause chemical reaction and volatility in any terpenes present, which can alter the character, effect and aroma of the extracts. With our patent-pending extraction technology, we're able to extract material from cannabis in a way that reduces terpene loss. Our extraction methodology results in extracts that better preserve the terpene and cannabinoid profiles of the cannabis plant, therefore resulting in similar therapeutic synergies achieved by the flower, also known as the entourage effect. These extracts are currently used to produce our highly rated strain-specific oils and could be adapted for derivative products as they become available for use.Another area, where our strain-specific oils will be used and applied for research purposes, is through a partnership we announced last month. Cronos is sponsoring research with the Technion Research & Development Foundation, to explore the use of cannabinoids and their role in regulating skin health and skin disorders. The preclinical studies will be conducted by Technion over a 3-year period and will focus on 3 skin conditions: acne, psoriasis and wound healing. The research will be led by Technion faculty members, Dr. Dedi Meiri and Dr. Yaron Fuchs, 2 of the world's leading researchers in cannabis and skin stem cell research. Dr. Meiri heads the Laboratory of Cannabis and Cancer Research, with vast experience in cannabis and endocannabinoid research. Dr. Fuchs heads the Laboratory of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine with years of experience in biology of the skin and its pathologies. The endocannabinoid system and the cannabinoid that modulates its activity are believed to have an important role in regulating skin health and skin disorders.The research will utilize Dr. Meiri's extensive cannabis strain database and our strain-specific cannabis oils to investigate the effects of isolates and combinations of cannabinoids, including rare cannabinoids. To discover treatments for acne, psoriasis and wounds, the research will use stem cell-derived organoid cultures, developed by Dr. Fuchs' laboratory and mouse models. We expect to be able to adapt the cannabinoid isolates and/or cannabinoid combinations to develop products for each of these 3 applications and to receive an exclusive worldwide license to market and manufacture them.All that being said, we certainly can't explain our products to consumers in that level of technical detail. So last but not least, I'm going to talk about the execution of our brand strategy. We are focused on providing consumers with a premium, high-quality product, whether it's in the flower and oil market today or in the future through our derivative product offerings. We have launched 2 consumer brands in the Canadian recreational market. The first brand, COVE, is positioned as an explorer brand, targeting permissible indulgence occasions with non-irradiated dried flower and terpene-rich extracts. COVE products target affluent millennial and Gen X consumers that seek to make each experience a discovery during relax-use occasions. We have high expectations for our second brand, Spinach, that targets a very different consumer category and use occasion. Spinach is our social mainstream rec brand that is positioned to appeal to lighthearted, fun-loving consumers. The brand itself is playful and is focused on offering farm-to-bowl products that bring friends together and make activities more enjoyable.Our differentiated brands are targeted and tailored to offer authentic experiences for our diverse customer base. We leverage psychographic and demographic data to create products and brands that will resonate with the consumer they are geared towards. At the end of the day, our objective is to offer consumers a high-quality product and a brand that is genuine and uniquely tailored to how they want to explore the recreational market. We have always believed that ultimately the winning brands will be chosen by the consumer. Our focus continues to be to differentiate ourselves through quality and authenticity. We have the unique opportunity to be one of the only available brands consumers try at the outset of recreational market, and we refuse to cut any corners to seize on that opportunity. In conclusion, during the third quarter, we made clear strides on each of our strategic pillars and are energized by our progress in the opportunities ahead. We are at the outset of our potential and are focused on executing our strategic plan to continue our growth and create value for our shareholders, partners and consumers.With that, I'll turn it over to Billy to discuss this quarter's financial results.

[William Hilson, Chief Financial Officer]

Thanks, Mike, and good morning, everyone. The figures I am reviewing today can be found in our financial statements. We continue to see revenue growth in the third quarter ended September 30, 2018. The company reported revenue of $3.8 million versus $1.3 million the same quarter in fiscal 2017, representing a 186% increase. Additionally, revenues increased 11% quarter-over-quarter. This increase was due to continued growth of Peace Naturals sales to our medical patients. We also saw strong growth in our cannabis oil sales, which represent 29% of total revenue in the third quarter, and began shipments into the domestic adult-use recreation market.Kilograms of cannabis sold increased 213% from 164 kilograms in the third quarter of 2017 to 514 kilograms in the third quarter of 2018. Quarter-over-quarter kilograms sold increased 8%. The change was largely due to increased production output. Average selling price for the third quarter 2018 was $7.32 versus $8.01 the previous year. The slight decrease in ASP was driven by a shift in products sold to the 4 provincial governments we are supplying, wholesale for the new recreation adult-use channel. As Mike mentioned, we are still in the launch mode for this new channel and are seeing unprecedented demand in every province in every product category across our brands.Moving on to gross profit. I wanted to spend a bit of time walking through how we are thinking about this both from a business standpoint and an accounting standpoint. Our cost of sales, before fair value adjustments, consists of 2 main categories, production costs and processing costs. Production costs are capitalized to biological assets, as costs directly attributable to growing the plants, which are recognized as cost of sales when the inventory is ultimately sold. These costs include direct costs such as nutrients, soil and other consumables as well as other indirect such as utilities and other supplies, also an allocation of indirect labor, property taxes and depreciation of equipment used in the growing process. All direct and indirect costs of biological assets are capitalized, as they are incurred, and they are subsequently reported within the line item cost of sales before fair value adjustments on the statement of operations in the period that relate to the product being sold. Furthermore, processing costs are also capitalized to inventory and then recognized as cost of sales when the inventory is sold. These costs represent post-harvest cost per gram, included to bring harvested cannabis to its salable condition, which includes drying and curing, testing and packaging and overhead allocation.Our fair value adjustments included in gross profit also consist of 2 main categories: one, the unrealized change in fair value of biological assets; and two, the realized fair value adjustments on inventory sold. These 2 line items represent the effect of noncash fair value adjustments to biological assets or inventory, and exclude any capitalized production costs. We believe gross profit before fair value adjustments provides useful information to understand and evaluate operating performance by excluding the noncash fair value adjustments associated with biological assets. That being said, for Q3 2018, the gross profit before fair value adjustments of $2.1 million as compared to $0.09 million for Q3 2017 represents a 144% increase. The increase in gross profit is largely driven by the 213% increase in kilograms of cannabis sold in the third quarter or the comparable period last year, and is also partially offset by a lower overall ASP.On the other hand, gross margin before fair value adjustments decreased from 65% for Q3 2017 to 55% for Q3 2018. The decline in gross margin before fair value adjustment is driven by the lower average selling price for Q3 2018 and a higher unit cost of sales as compared to the prior year. This is largely due to the incremental costs associated with on-boarding our new production facilities, while actual production output from those new facilities is realized over time.Operating expenses for the third quarter, including salaries and benefits of nonproduction staff, stock-based compensation, general and administrative, sales and marketing and depreciation expenses totaled $7 million, representing an increase of $4.9 million from the same period last year. The increase in OpEx is primarily driven by the rapid growth of the company, including the hiring of new employees and on-boarding of new dedicated functions in procurement, information technology, sales and marketing and operations as well as an increase in professional and consulting fees for services rendered in connection with various strategic initiatives and strengthening the company's governance and internal controls. This quarter, we updated the assumptions in our biological asset model, which I would like to explain further. Historically, we had used the forward-looking average sales price assumption of $8.50 per gram to determine the fair value adjustments in our biological assets, which impacts both our balance sheet position of inventory and biological assets as well as our fair value adjustments on the statement of operations. After further review and analysis, we have adjusted the forward-looking ASP used for biological assets from $8.50 to $7 per gram. The rationale for this change is the impact of absorbing the new $1 per gram excise tax applied to both medicinal and recreational sales as well as the lower average selling price associated with the new recreational sales to provinces.For the third quarter, the company reported a comprehensive loss of $7 million as compared to income of $1.1 million for Q3 2017, representing a decrease of $8.1 million during the period. The change in total comprehensive income results from the factors I described earlier, in particular, the noncash impact to the fair value adjustments resulting from the change in the ASP assumption in the biological assets model.Turning to the balance sheet. As of September 30, total liquidity amounted to $73 million comprised of $44 million in cash and $29 million of additional borrowings available under the construction loan. And finally, turning to cash flows. During the third quarter, the company used $12.6 million of cash in operating activities compared to $2.2 million of cash provided in operating activities in Q3 2017, representing an increase of $14.9 million. Of note, $6.1 million of cash used in operations was attributable to prepaid deposits on equipment for B4 construction activities. In addition, during Q3 2018, the company used $35.9 million of cash in investing activities, primarily due to $34 million in capital expenditures related to Building 4 construction.This concludes my review of the financials for the quarter ended September 30, 2018. As Mike has stated, we are making great strides towards executing against our strategy, which will translate to our financial results in the future.Will turn it back to you, Mike.

[Michael Gorenstein, Chairman, President & CEO]

Thanks, Billy. With that, we'll open it up to questions.

[Operator]

[Operator Instructions] Your first question comes from Tamy Chen with BMO Capital Markets.

[Tamy Chen, Equity Research Associate]

So my first question is, could you quantify the volumes that you shipped to the adult-use market, both this quarter that's been reported, and how that's trended in October and also how your pricing has been?

[Michael Gorenstein, Chairman, President & CEO]

Sure. So I'd say, it's been -- it was a major part of our revenue for the quarter, but we haven't really seen the real effects of adult use yet. I think we'll see that over the coming quarters. It's been -- I think it's been trending very well. We've thought of October as a month where we're working through kinks and making sure that all of the areas of the supply chain are smoothing. We've also been very pleased with the demand we're seeing. It's, as I'm sure you know, very significant. And prices, we would just note, they certainly range depending on province and what the product mix is. So it's something that's evolving, and we'll be able to give a better update of what that looks like at the end of Q4.

[Tamy Chen, Equity Research Associate]

Okay. And my follow-up is just on your cash balance. I think during the quarter, your cash went down by about -- is it $50 million? And so you've got, I think, about $45 million to $50 million on the balance sheet at the quarter end. Could you talk about your cash needs going forward? Any plans regarding financing for production ramps and also your Ginkgo partnership and the capital costs that you may have to incur for the Mucci greenhouse?

[Michael Gorenstein, Chairman, President & CEO]

Sure. So we have a number of options available to us in terms of capital. I'd note we still have the credit facility that we have not drawn on yet. But any decision that we make will be with an eye towards enhancing long-term value for Cronos shareholders. When we think of some of the different JVs, I think it's also worth mentioning that there are funding options that come in externally from Cronos specifically from joint venture partners and from other sources of non-equity capital.

[Operator]

[Operator Instructions] And we have a question from Martin Landry with GMP Securities.

[Martin Landry, MD Equity Research & Equity Research Analyst]

I was wondering, Mike, if you can give us more details or colors on how your COVE brand is doing in Ontario.

[Michael Gorenstein, Chairman, President & CEO]

Sure. We think it's doing very well. COVE, it was positioned really to capture the top 15% of the market. We think the response has been solid and are very pleased with the sales velocity we're seeing. I think that the insights that we have received have shown a good positioning. One of the things that I will note that really across any brand and SKU, right now we're seeing such high sales velocity and demand that parsing out nuances for each SKU, it's still early. But overall, we're very, very pleased with the reception.

[Martin Landry, MD Equity Research & Equity Research Analyst]

Okay. And it looks like -- and you mentioned it in your opening remark that there's more demand than supply here. Are you thinking about bridging the gap in your production by buying from third-party supplier?

[Michael Gorenstein, Chairman, President & CEO]

No. When we think about the opportunity we have, it's really building brand equity. And so we will not sacrifice any brand equity by bringing in product that we don't consider up to our standard. So if we were, it would be in very special circumstances and would be with heavy quality control. I think for flower, it's something that we really do think needs to come from our facility. But we would look at opportunities to give some of our specific genetics out and then make sure that those are grown under our controls. We also -- we were entering into a pretty rapid ramp-up of capacity in Building 4, which we think will help meet demand.

[Operator]

[Operator Instructions] And we do not have any questions over the phone line at this time. I will turn the call over to the presenters.

[Michael Gorenstein, Chairman, President & CEO]

All right. Thank you, everyone, for joining, and enjoy the day.

[Operator]

This does conclude today's conference call. You may now disconnect.
