Company Guidance
In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, Reitmans Canada Limited faced several challenges, resulting in a 4.1% decrease in total net revenues to $158.9 million compared to the previous year. Despite a 1% increase in e-commerce revenue, the company experienced a decline in in-store traffic due to near-record snowfall and cautious consumer spending amid economic uncertainties. This led to a net loss of $10 million and an adjusted EBITDA loss of $10.6 million. Strategic efforts included the opening of six new stores and the commencement of a digital strategic road map, aiming to bolster brand growth and modernize the digital experience. The company plans to reinvest approximately $100 million in growth initiatives over the next five years, targeting $1 billion in annual revenues and adjusted EBITDA of $60-70 million by fiscal 2030. The guidance emphasized a focus on enhancing customer experience and optimizing store locations, with 75% of the growth investment earmarked for store expansions and 25% for digital technology modernization.
