- Balance sheet activity included ~$56M cash (net cash position ~$20M), total debt of ~$36M, a large Canadian tax payment that caused Q1 negative operating cash flow but management expects positive operating cash flow from Q2, and active buybacks of >2M shares (~$6.4M) completing the board‑approved program.
- On U.S. rescheduling and M&A, management is optimistic about long‑term opportunity but will remain patient and selective amid regulatory uncertainty, appointing CFO Steve Ruffini to lead M&A efforts.
