Amounts included in our consolidated results of operations for each period are as follows:


	For the Six Months Ended August 31,						For the Three Months Ended August 31,
	2020		2019		2020		2019

Equity in earnings (losses) from Canopy and related activities	$	(408.6)	$	(590.4)	$	(31.0)	$	(484.4)

The following table presents summarized financial information for Canopy presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We recognize our equity in earnings (losses) for Canopy on a two-month lag. Accordingly, we recognized our share of Canopy’s earnings (losses) for the periods January through June 2020 and January through June 2019 in our six months ended August 31, 2020, and August 31, 2019, results, respectively. We recognized our share of Canopy’s earnings (losses) for the periods April through June 2020 and April through June 2019 in our three months ended August 31, 2020, and August 31, 2019, results, respectively. The amounts shown represent 100% of Canopy’s results of operations for the respective periods, however, the results of operations for the six months and three months ended August 31, 2019, exclude the impact of the June 2019 Warrant Modification Loss because it was recorded by Canopy within equity. The six months and three months ended August 31, 2020, includes costs designed to improve Canopy’s organizational focus, streamline operations, and align production capability with projected demand.
