Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call balanced material near-term investments, transformational work and regional ramp-ups against strong core performance and disciplined capital allocation. Dollarama met or exceeded fiscal 2026 guidance: consolidated sales and EPS grew double digits, Canada delivered positive same-store sales and margin metrics, and Dollarcity produced robust top-line and earnings growth with a doubled dividend. Offsets include weather- and calendar-driven softness in Q4, Mexico and Australia operating losses tied to expansion and integration, and emerging supply-chain cost pressures from geopolitical events. Management presented these negatives as known, managed investments (Australia transformation and Mexico ramp-up) rather than fundamental deterioration in the core Canadian business.Company Guidance

Consolidated fiscal 2026 sales rose 13.1% year-over-year to $7.3 billion; Q4 sales increased 11.7% to $2.1 billion (despite 1 less week). Diluted EPS for the full fiscal year increased 13.7% to $4.73; Q4 EPS increased 2.1% to $1.43 (includes a $0.03 benefit from Australia).
Canada Same-Store Sales and Basket Strength
Canada full-year same-store sales (SSS) of 4.2% met annual guidance. Q4 SSS was 1.5% (calendar-adjusted would be 3.5%). Q4 basket growth was strong at +3.1% while transaction counts fell 1.6%; FY2027 SSS guidance is 3%–4%.
Network Growth — Canada and Dollarcity
Canada opened 75 net new stores in fiscal 2026, ending the period with 1,691 stores and reached 1,700 stores in February; returning to an expected 60–70 net new stores in FY2027 with a long-term target of 2,200 stores by 2034.
