Company Guidance
During Reitmans Canada Limited's Fiscal 2025 Third Quarter Earnings Call, management provided several key metrics and guidance for the period. The company reported a 2.9% decline in net revenues to $187.7 million compared to the previous year, primarily due to a lower store count and delayed seasonal purchases. Despite this, gross margins improved by 166 basis points to 57.3% as a result of strategic inventory management and reduced promotional activities. Adjusted EBITDA decreased from $9.5 million to $3.8 million, impacted by increased SG&A expenses and foreign exchange losses.
