PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
"We ended our 2025 fiscal year with a solid fourth quarter delivering adjusted fully diluted net earnings per share, growth of 10.8%, achieving our financial framework on all metrics for the year. After almost two months of shutdown, I am pleased to report that we resumed operations last week at our frozen distribution centre in Toronto and expect to be essentially back to normal by the end of December. I want to thank all our teams who continue to execute our contingency plan to supply our stores, thereby minimizing the impact on our customers. During the quarter, we successfully opened 4 new food stores and converted 2 others, and we are confident that our sustained investments in our retail network combined with effective merchandising and strong execution will continue to resonate well with customers and create long-term shareholder value.", declared Eric La Flèche, President and Chief Executive Officer, in the recent release.
