Insights
High Tide's strategic acquisition of Remexian creates an immediate major position in Germany's booming medical cannabis market, adding �65M revenue.
High Tide's acquisition of a 51% stake in Remexian Pharma represents a significant strategic pivot into the rapidly expanding German medical cannabis market. The deal, valued at approximately �27.2 million, gives High Tide immediate access to one of Germany's largest cannabis distribution networks with impressive market penetration - Remexian sold 7 tonnes of cannabis flower in Q2 2025, representing 16% of Germany's total imports that quarter.
The German market's growth trajectory is particularly noteworthy. Following the Consumer Cannabis Act passage in April 2024, Germany has seen its medical cannabis patient count surge from 250,000 to nearly 900,000, driving a threefold increase in import volumes. The country imported a record 43.3 metric tonnes in Q2 2025, a 15% increase over Q1, maintaining Germany's position as the world's largest medical cannabis importer.
What makes this acquisition especially valuable is the complementary business alignment. Remexian's established import licenses from 19 countries combined with High Tide's Canadian procurement expertise (Canada represents 33% of Remexian's imports) creates immediate synergies. High Tide's experience with $1.9 billion in Canadian cannabis sales since legalization positions the combined entity to potentially increase Canadian imports into Germany.
Financially, the transaction appears accretive, adding approximately C$100 million in annual revenue and significant EBITDA to High Tide's financials. The purchase implies a 3.64x multiple on Remexian's annualized adjusted EBITDA, which seems reasonable given the growth potential. High Tide also secured options to acquire the remaining 49% stake, providing a clear path to full ownership.
The structure of the deal - with only 29% paid in cash and the remainder through shares and seller financing - suggests a capital-efficient approach that preserves High Tide's financial flexibility for further expansion in European markets.
