The latest update is out from Reitmans (Canada) ( (TSE:RET) ).

Reitmans (Canada) Limited reported a 3.8% increase in third-quarter net revenues to $194.9 million, driven by a 2.1% rise in comparable sales and an additional store, while gross profit rose 1.9% to $109.6 million, albeit with a 110-basis-point margin compression due to higher promotional activity and foreign-exchange pressures. Adjusted EBITDA jumped 47% to $5.6 million, reflecting improved operating performance, but net earnings declined to $0.9 million from $2.1 million a year earlier, as restructuring and transformation-related costs of $1.4 million weighed on the bottom line; management emphasized progress under its five-year ‘Designed for the Future’ strategy, highlighted by the re-opening of the RW&CO. Saint-Bruno flagship and several new store openings, while the company maintains a strong cash position, no significant long-term debt aside from leases, and undrawn bank facilities, underscoring financial flexibility as it pursues a disciplined store investment and modernization program.
