Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation Basis of Presentation
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Cronos Group are unaudited. They have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission relating to interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other reporting period.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Annual Financial Statements”).
Basis of Consolidation Basis of ConsolidationThe accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and all entities in which the Company has a controlling voting interest and/or is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest as of and for the period presented. In the condensed consolidated statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), the net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) are attributed to the equity holders of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Non-controlling interests in the equity of Cronos Israel are presented separately in the shareholders’ equity (deficit) section of the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity (deficit). All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated upon consolidation.
Goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets Goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets
Goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that fair value of the reporting unit has been reduced to less than its carrying value. The Company performs an impairment test annually in the fourth quarter, by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered to be impaired. An impairment charge would be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The Company determined that it has two reporting units: the U.S. reporting unit and the Rest of World reporting unit.
During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company concluded that the projected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its sales and revenues in the near term, together with the volatility in the market conditions during the quarter represented potential indicators of impairment for the U.S. reporting unit. Accordingly, the Company performed an interim impairment analysis during the second quarter of 2020. See Note 13 for more information regarding intangibles assets and goodwill.

(a)Adoption of new accounting pronouncements

ASU No. 2018-13 adds, modifies, and removes certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. The adoption of this standard was applied prospectively and did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other Internal-use-software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (“ASU No. 2018-15”). ASU No. 2018-15 amends current guidance to align the accounting for costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing costs associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software. The guidance in ASU No. 2018-15 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard was applied prospectively and did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU No. 2017-04”). ASU No. 2017-04 eliminates step 2 from the goodwill impairment test and instead requires an entity to measure the impairment of goodwill assigned to a reporting unit if the carrying value of assets and liabilities assigned to the reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The guidance in ASU No. 2017-04 is effective for annual and interim goodwill tests completed by the Company beginning on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard was applied prospectively and the Company follows a one-step model for goodwill impairment.

ASU No. 2020-01 clarifies the interaction of accounting for the transition into and out of the equity method. The new standard also clarifies the accounting for measuring certain purchased options and forward contracts to acquire investments.

The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of ASU No. 2019-12, but anticipates that the adoption will not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
