MONTREAL, April 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Goodfood Market Corp. (“Goodfood”, “the Company”, “us”, “we” or “our”) (TSX: FOOD), a leading Canadian online meal solutions company, today announced financial results for the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended March 7, 2026.

The Company is advancing a focused strategic reset centered on simplifying operations, enhancing its product offering, and reinforcing a disciplined cost structure to support sustainable, profitable growth.

Second quarter results reflect the impact of a temporary Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) license suspension and a softer demand environment, which affected net sales and margins during the period. As a result, our net sales were $23 million, gross profit was $7 million, with gross margin1 of 30.6%, net loss was $7 million, with adjusted EBITDA margin2 of negative 4.4% and adjusted free cash flow2 was negative $2.0 million, with cash and marketable securities3 of $9 million.

“Second quarter results reflect the impact of a temporary disruption and softer demand. More importantly, CFIA clarified what needed to change—and we are acting on it decisively,” said Selim Bassoul, Chairman and CEO. “We have simplified our cost structure, reduced complexity, and refocused the business on its core economics. At the same time, we are improving our product with better quality, larger portions and greater convenience to align with what customers value most.”

“Our priorities are straightforward: protect margins, generate cash, and deploy capital with discipline. As we execute, we are focused on strengthening the business while evaluating a range of financial alternatives to enhance long-term value,” added Selim Bassoul.

“Also, for fiscal year 2026, both the President, Najib Maalouf, and I have made the deliberate decision to forgo our base salaries. Our employment agreements remain unchanged, but we believe that in this phase of the Company’s transformation, accountability needs to start at the top. This is not a signal that we expect others to do the same. Our priority is to build a stronger, more resilient company — one that creates long-term opportunities for our teams, delivers for our customers, and earns the trust of our shareholders,” concluded Selim Bassoul.

(2) Gross margin is defined as gross profit divided by net sales.

VARIANCE ANALYSIS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2026 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER OF 2025

The decrease in net sales is explained by the decrease in active customers driving lower orders combined with the temporary CFIA suspension in the second quarter of 2026, partially offset by an increase in average order value. The decrease in active customers can be explained mainly by the CFIA suspension, and lower marketing and incentive offerings.The decrease in gross profit is driven mainly by the decrease in net sales as well as higher shipping, labour and other production costs mainly driven by the temporary CFIA suspension. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in average order value compared to the same quarter last year. Gross margin decreased by 12 percentage points mainly due to costs related to our temporary CFIA suspension and lower fixed cost absorption partially offset by the increase in average order value.The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily due to lower marketing spend and wages and salaries. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased by 0.9 percentage points to 38.0% compared to 38.9% in the same quarter last year primarily driven by lower marketing spend partially offset by lower net sales.The reorganization and other related costs in the second quarter of Fiscal 2026 are mainly due to employee termination costs.The increase in net loss is primarily driven by lower profitability as a result of lower net sales and gross profit combined with reorganization costs partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses.

METRICS AND NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES – RECONCILIATION

EBITDA1, ADJUSTED EBITDA1 AND ADJUSTED EBITDA MARGIN1

The reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin is as follows:

For the 13 weeks ended March 7, 2026, adjusted EBITDA margin decreased by 8.9 percentage points compared to the same quarter last year, mainly driven by lower gross margin due to higher shipping, labour and other production costs as a result of the temporary suspension from the CFIA combined with lower net sales due to the impact of the license suspension and lower active customers leading to lower order rate. The decrease in gross margin was partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses primarily from lower marketing spend as well as higher basket size. Overall, adjusted EBITDA decreased by $2.3 million this quarter compared to the same quarter last year.

For the 26 weeks ended March 7, 2026, adjusted EBITDA margin decreased by 4.5 percentage points compared to the same period last year mainly driven by lower net sales as a result of the license suspension and lower active customers leading to lower order rates and lower gross margin mainly as a result of higher shipping costs and other production costs. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in basket size. Overall, adjusted EBITDA decreased by $3.0 million compared to the same period last year while net sales decreased by $15.1 million. The lower net sales impact on the adjusted EBITDA was partially offset by lower marketing spend and wages and salaries.

FREE CASH FLOW1 AND ADJUSTED FREE CASH FLOW1

The reconciliation of net cash flows from operating activities to free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow is as follows:

(In thousands of Canadian dollars)

For the 13 weeks endedFor the 26 weeks ended March 7,2026March 8,2025March 7,2026March 8,2025Net cash (used in) provided by operatingactivities$(2,441)$(1,152)$(1,085)$1,037 Additions to fixed assets (11) (265) (54) (453)Additions to intangible assets (130) (147) (246) (321)Free cash flow$(2,582)$(1,564)$(1,385)$263 Payments made to reorganization and otherrelated costs 559 – 610 – Payments made to acquisition costs – 75 – 102 Adjusted free cash flow$(2,023)$(1,489)$(775)$365

For the 13 weeks ended March 7, 2026, adjusted free cash flow decreased by $0.5 million compared to the same quarter last year mainly driven by a decrease in profitability resulting from lower gross margin and lower net sales, partially offset by lower marketing spend and improvement in the change in non-cash operating working capital as a result of a favorable increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities mainly due to timing of vendor payments. In the second quarter of Fiscal 2025, the Company invested in fire compliance work in the Montreal warehouse resulting in higher addition to fixed assets compared to the second quarter of Fiscal 2026.

For the 26 weeks ended March 7, 2026, adjusted free cash flow decreased by $1.1 million compared to the same period last year mainly driven by a decrease in profitability resulting from lower net sales and lower gross margin, partially offset by lower marketing spend and improvement in the change in non-cash operating working capital as a result of favorable timing of vendor payments. In addition, in Fiscal 2025, the Company invested in fire compliance work in the Montreal warehouse resulting in higher addition to fixed assets compared to Fiscal 2026.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE

(In thousands of Canadian dollars, except ratio information)

March 7, 2026March 8, 2025Convertible debentures, liability component,including current portion$41,870$46,186Total debt 41,870 46,186Cash and cash equivalents 7,382 17,383Marketable securities 2,046 1,721Total net debt 1 32,442 27,082Adjusted EBITDA (trailing 12 months)13,116 7,071Total net debt to adjusted EBITDA110.41 3.83

The Company’s total net debt increased by $5.4 million and its total net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio was 10.41 compared to 3.83 last year. This is mainly explained by the Company’s reduction in cash and cash equivalents and EBITDA driven by lower net sales and lower gross margin.

Management remains focused on actively managing the balance sheet and maintaining flexibility in how capital is structured going forward.

TRENDS AND SEASONALITY

The Company’s net sales and expenses are impacted by seasonality. During the winter holiday season and the summer season, the Company anticipates net sales to be lower as a higher proportion of customers elect to skip their delivery. The Company generally anticipates the number of active customers to be lower during these periods. During periods with significantly colder or warmer weather, the Company anticipates packaging costs to be higher due to the additional packaging required to maintain food freshness and quality.

METRICS AND NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES

Certain non-IFRS financial measures included in this news release do not have standardized definitions prescribed by IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. They are provided as additional information to complement IFRS measures and to provide a further understanding of the Company’s results of operations from our perspective. For a more complete description of these measures and a reconciliation of Goodfood’s non-IFRS financial measures to financial results, please see Goodfood’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended March 7, 2026.

Goodfood’s definition of the non-IFRS financial measures are as follows:

An active customer is a customer that has placed an order on our e-commerce platforms, including our subsidiaries, within the last three months. For greater certainty, an active customer is only accounted for once, although different products and multiple orders might have been purchased within a quarter. While the active customers metric is not an IFRS or non-IFRS financial measure, and, therefore, does not appear in, and cannot be reconciled to a specific line item in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, we believe that the active customers metric is a useful metric for investors because it is indicative of potential future net sales. The Company reports the number of active customers at the beginning and end of the period, rounded to the nearest thousand.EBITDA is defined as net income or loss before net finance costs, depreciation and amortization and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA excluding share-based payments expense, reorganization and other related net costs (gains) pursuant to the Company’s costs saving initiatives, write-down of inventories as a result of the Company’s reorganization activities and acquisition costs. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as the percentage of adjusted EBITDA to net sales. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-IFRS financial measures. We believe that EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin are useful measures of financial performance to assess the Company’s ability to seize growth opportunities in a cost-effective manner, to finance its ongoing operations and to service its debt. They also allow comparisons between companies with different capital structures. We also believe that these metrics are useful measures of financial performance to assess underlying trends in our ongoing operations without the variations caused by the impacts of the items described above and facilitates the comparison across reporting periods.Free cash flow is defined as net cash from operating activities less additions to fixed assets and additions to intangible assets. This measure allows the Company to assess its financial strength and liquidity as well as to assess how much cash is generated and available to invest in growth opportunities, to finance its ongoing operations and to service its debt. It also allows comparisons between companies with different capital structures. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as free cash flow excluding cash payments made to costs related to reorganization activities as well as acquisition costs. We believe that adjusted free cash flow is a useful measure when comparing between companies with different capital structures by removing variations caused by the impacts of the items described above. We also believe that this metric is a useful measure of financial and liquidity performance to assess underlying trends in our ongoing operations without the variations caused by the impacts of the items described above and facilitates the comparison across reporting periods.

Total net debt to adjusted EBITDA, also named net leverage, is calculated as total net debt divided by the last four quarters adjusted EBITDA. Total net debt consists of the liability component of the convertible debentures less cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. The last four quarters adjusted EBITDA is calculated by summing the actual adjusted EBITDA results of the current quarter and the three immediately preceding quarters. We believe that total net debt to adjusted EBITDA is a useful metric to assess the Company’s ability to manage debt and liquidity.

Please refer to the “Metrics and non-IFRS financial measures – reconciliation” and the “Liquidity and capital resources” sections of the MD&A for a reconciliation of these non-IFRS financial measures to the most comparable IFRS financial measures.
