"Our Q1 results demonstrate the resilience of our business model and continued demand for our value offering, despite currency headwinds.

Key Highlights: 2026 Q1 vs 2025 Q1
- Total sales decreased by 4% to $5,533,533, due to the depreciation of the Mexican peso relative to the Canadian dollar. In local currency (MXN), sales increased by approximately 10% year-over-year, reflecting continued organic growth and new store openings.
- Gross profit remained consistent at $1,941,647, compared to $1,943,290 in Q1 2025, as operational gains were offset by the impact of foreign exchange.
- Product gross margins increased by 0.2% from $2,647,862 or 46.1% to $2,560,915 or 46.3% due to a decrease in the per unit cost of inventory.

Non-IFRS Measures
There are measures included in this news release that do not have a standardized meaning under international financial reporting standards (IFRS) and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures and metrics presented by other publicly traded companies. The Company includes these measures because it believes certain investors use them as a means of assessing financial performance. Adjusted gross margin, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are financial measures that do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA refers to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, one-time transaction expenses and financing costs. Adjusted gross margin is defined as gross profit plus distribution costs divided by sales.
We prepare and release quarterly unaudited and annual audited financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. We also disclose and discuss certain non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial information used to evaluate our performance in this and other earnings releases and investor conference calls as a complement to results provided in accordance with IFRS. We believe that current shareholders and potential investors in the Company use non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted gross margin, EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA in making investment decisions about the Company and measuring its operational results.
Management believes that investors and financial analysts measure our business on the same basis, and we are providing the adjusted gross margin, operating profit, EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA as financial metrics to assist in this evaluation and to provide a higher level of transparency into how we measure our own business.
Adjusted EBITDA is more fully defined and discussed, and reconciliation to IFRS financial measures is provided, in Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") for the year ended January 31, 2025.
