The combination of our growing business, which continues to deliver, and our strengthened financial position, leads to our optimism as we continue to build a world-class company serving growing healthy foods markets and in doing so creating lasting value for our partners, customers, team members and shareholders", commented Steve Bromley, Co-Chair and Chief Executive Officer.

Fiscal 2025 Third Quarter Results Overview

• Sales of $15.1 million versus $5.2 million in the prior year, an increase of approximately 189%. Sales grew as new customers were added, while a number of existing customers increased their purchases. Q-3 sales represent the largest third quarter sales in the history of the Company and 73% of total fiscal 2024 sales of $20.7 million.

• Gross profit of $1.2 million or 8.2% of sales, versus $0.6 million or 11.8% of sales in the prior year, an increase of approximately 101% in gross profit dollars. Adjusted gross profit⁽¹⁾ was $0.7 million or 4.5% of sales when accounting for the impact of realized currency hedging activities, versus $0.6 million or 11.8% of sales in the prior year when there was no impact from hedging activities.

• Cash operating expenses of $1.3 million or 8.7% of sales versus $0.9 million or 18.2% of sales in the prior year. Operating expenses have stabilized following the sale of three subsidiaries in Q-2 2024, and reflect incremental costs to support the growth of our business and costs related to our rebranding initiatives.

• Loss from operations of $0.4 million versus a loss of $0.5 million in the prior year.

• Net loss for the period of $2.0 million after accounting for interest and accretion costs of $0.1 million and net losses on derivatives totaling $0.4 million. Net loss also includes a number of non-recurring costs including debt restructuring costs of $0.1 million and losses on the settlement of debt of $1.7 million. Adjusted for non-recurring costs, adjusted net income was $0.2 million versus a net loss in the prior year of $0.8 million.

Fiscal 2025 Nine-Month Results Overview

• Sales of $45.9 million versus $14.3 million in the prior year, an increase of approximately 222%.

• Cash operating expenses of $3.4 million or 7.3% of sales versus $1.9 million or 13.4% of sales in the prior year. Operating expenses have stabilized following the sale of three subsidiaries in Q-2 2024, though have increased due to the assumption of operating expenses that were previously borne by the subsidiaries sold, as well as incremental costs to support the growth of our business.

• Loss from operations of $0.6 million versus a loss of $1.1 million in the prior year.

• Net loss for the period of $9.6 million after accounting for interest and accretion costs of $0.6 million and net losses on derivatives of $2.3 million. Net loss also includes a number of non-recurring costs including debt restructuring costs of $0.8 million and losses on the settlement of debt of $5.5 million. Net loss in the prior year was $0.3 million, driven by a gain from the dissolution of one of our subsidiaries of $0.4 million and income related to the sale of three operating subsidiaries of $1.2 million, offset by losses related to continuing operations.

(1) The information presented herein refers to the non-IFRS financial measures of adjusted gross profit and EBITDA. We hedge currencies for certain product categories where either the supply or sales commitments are fixed in foreign currencies. The gains and losses from these hedging activities are combined with gross profit to determine adjusted gross profit. We also refer to EBITDA, which is Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. These two measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. Non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company's financial information reported under IFRS and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company's results of operations from management's perspective and thus highlight trends in its business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. The Company believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS financial measures in the evaluation of the Company. The Company's management also uses non-IFRS financial measures to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period and to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts.
