Fiscal Year 2025
-
Revenue guidance for 2026 is CAD 9.4 billion, up 26% year-over-year, with growth led by U.S. initiatives and strong specialty foods performance. Margin normalization is expected by Q2, restructuring costs will decline, and leverage is targeted below 3x by end of 2026.
-
Sales grew 15.6% to CAD 7.5B in 2025, with adjusted EBITDA up 13.2% despite record-high beef costs. The Stampede acquisition and U.S. expansion drove growth, while the sale of Shaw Bakers and major CapEx investments position the company for future gains.
-
Strong Q3 organic growth was led by U.S. specialty foods and a major product launch, with continued margin headwinds from beef costs and new capacity overhead. 2026 is expected to be a peak growth year, supported by robust demand, new launches, and ongoing asset monetization.
-
Q3 2025 saw record sales and free cash flow, with strong organic growth in U.S. premium protein, sandwich, and bakery segments. Despite high beef costs and supply disruptions, profitability and liquidity improved, and the company remains on track for its 2027 targets.
-
Strong organic growth and robust U.S. launches are driving a positive outlook, with a major product launch in September expected to boost Q4. Margin normalization is anticipated as commodity costs ease, while tariff and beef price uncertainties remain key risks.
-
Strong organic growth and robust U.S. pipeline are driving higher guidance for 2025, with major new facility launches and product rollouts expected to boost Q4. Margin normalization is anticipated as commodity costs ease, while capital allocation remains focused on debt reduction and potential share buybacks.
-
Strong Q1 performance was driven by robust U.S. organic growth, capacity investments, and high protein demand, with annual revenue growth guidance of 11–14% reaffirmed. Margin pressures from commodity inflation are expected to ease in the second half as price increases take effect.
Fiscal Year 2024
-
2025 guidance projects strong organic growth, mainly from U.S. programs, with robust contribution margins and record free cash flow expected. Recent acquisitions are highly accretive, and capital allocation remains disciplined amid macro uncertainties.
-
Onboarding delays and a QSR slowdown impacted results, but a robust pipeline and strong growth in club and international channels support a positive 2025 outlook. Deleveraging is on track, CapEx will decline, and margin expansion is expected in Specialty Foods.
-
Third quarter sales reached a record CAD 1.67 billion, up 1.3% year-over-year, with strong growth in bakery and protein segments offsetting a temporary sales decline in the sandwich group. Adjusted EBITDA rose slightly, while adjusted EPS declined due to higher costs. Management remains confident in long-term growth and expects to close several acquisitions by year-end.
-
Revenue guidance for 2024 is now at the lower end due to delayed U.S. product launches, but growth is expected to accelerate as large-scale rollouts proceed. Margin targets remain intact, with robust acquisition and CapEx activity supporting future expansion.
-
Record Q2 sales and EBITDA were driven by U.S. growth and operational efficiencies, though delayed product launches and a challenging consumer environment in Canada tempered results. Guidance for 2024 is maintained, with a higher likelihood of hitting the lower end of the range.
