Total SG&A ("SG&A") expenses in Q4 FY2022 declined by 21% versus Q4 FY2021, driven by year-over-year reductions in General & Administrative ("G&A") and Research and Development ("R&D") expenses. G&A expenses declined 38% year-over-year primarily due to reductions in staffing, professional fees, executive compensation and employee bonus, and continued cost reductions, partially offset by lower payroll subsidies received from the Canadian government pursuant to a COVID-19 relief program, relative to the prior year. R&D expenses declined 45% year-over-year principally due to a more disciplined approach to R&D investments and the closure of certain R&D facilities in the prior year. Sales & Marketing ("S&M") expenses were flat year-over-year.
