Roots Reports Strong First Quarter Fiscal 2025 Results
TORONTO, June 13, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Roots ("Roots" or the "Company") (TSX: ROOT), a premium outdoor-lifestyle brand, announced today financial results for its first quarter ended May 3, 2025 ("Q1 2025"). All financial results are reported in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated. Certain metrics, including those expressed on an adjusted basis, are non-IFRS measures. See "Non-IFRS Measures and Industry Metrics" below. "Our first-quarter results, marking the third consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth in sales, gross margin, and adjusted EBITDA, speaks to the growing resonance of the Roots brand and the discipline with which we are executing our strategic priorities," said Meghan Roach, President and Chief Executive Officer. "From elevated marketing to improved product availability and AI-operational enhancements, we drove meaningful gains across key performance metrics. As we begin 2025, I am proud of how our team continues to innovate and deliver value, while navigating consumer preferences and the evolving retail landscape." Sales were $40.0 million, a 6.7% increase compared to $37.5 million in Q1 2024. DTC sales were $34.6 million, a 10.2% increase compared to $31.4 million in Q1 2024 DTC comparable sales growth was 14.1% Gross margin was 61.5%, up 250bps compared to 59.0% in Q1 2024 DTC gross margin of 62.9%, up 80bps compared to 62.1% in Q1 2024 Net loss totaled ($7.9) million, improving from ($8.9) million in Q1 2024 Excluding the impacts from cash settled instruments under our share-based compensation plan, net loss would have been ($7.4) million, improving 16.5% compared to ($8.9) million in Q1 2024 Adjusted EBITDA amounted to ($7.1) million, a 10.7% improvement from ($8.0) million in Q1 2024 Excluding the impacts from cash settled instruments under our share-based compensation plan, Adjusted EBITDA would have been ($6.6) million, improving 16.8% compared to ($8.0) million in Q1 2024 Net debt reduced 6.7% year-over-year to $29.6 million Repurchased 115,300 shares for $0.3 million under the normal course issue bid that launched in Q1 2025 SELECT FINANCIAL INFORMATION (in '000s of CAD$, except where noted) First quarter ended May 3, 2025 May 4, 2024 Change Total sales 39,980 37,461 +6.7% Direct-to-Consumer ("DTC") sales 34,608 31,405 +10.2% Partners & Other ("P&O") sales 5,372 6,056 (11.3%) Gross profit 24,572 22,101 +11.2% Gross margin 61.5% 59.0% +250 bps1 Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") expenses 33,289 31,982 +4.1% Net loss (7,911) (8,895) +11.1% Net loss per share ($0.20) ($0.22) +9.1% Adjusted EBITDA2 (7,106) (7,959) +10.7% Free Cash Flow3 (21,806) (14,613) (49.2%) Net Debt4 29,576 31,704 (6.7%) 1 Basis points ("bps"). 2 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure that adjusts for the impact of certain items that are non-recurring or unusual in nature to remove difficulty in comparing underlying financial performance between periods. See "Non-IFRS Measures and Industry Metrics". 3 Free cash flow is a supplementary financial measure that reflects cash flow generated from ongoing operations, calculated as our cash from operating activities less cash used in investing activities and the payment of principal on lease liabilities net of lease incentives. See "Non-IFRS Measures and Industry Metrics". 4 Net debt is a supplementary financial measure that reflects our liquidity, refer to the "Reconciliation of long-term debt to net debt and leverage ratio" table for the calculation. See "Non-IFRS Measures and Industry Metrics". "Our first quarter results reflect our ongoing commitment to balance top-line growth with cost discipline to improve long-term profitability and operating leverage," said Leon Wu, Chief Financial Officer. "With a strong balance sheet, we are well-positioned to opportunistically respond to shifting market conditions while sustaining our current momentum." FIRST QUARTER OVERVIEW Total sales were $40.0 million in Q1 2025, representing an increase of 6.7% from $37.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 ("Q1 2024"). DTC sales (corporate retail store and eCommerce sales) were $34.6 million, a 10.2% increase from $31.4 million in Q1 2024. DTC momentum carried into Q1, with comparable sales growth of 14.1%, driven by double-digit growth across both channels. This was led by conversion improvements through improved product curation, customer experience improvements, and better in-stock position. P&O sales (wholesale Roots branded products, licensing to select manufacturing partners and the sale of certain custom products) amounted to $5.4 million in Q1 2025 as compared to $6.1 million in Q1 2024. The decline in P&O sales is from lower wholesale sales as our international operating partner continues to optimize their inventory levels. This decline was partially offset by double digit growth from the remaining lines of business in the segment, including China Tmall eCommerce sales. Gross profit reached $24.6 million in Q1 2025 compared to $22.1 million in Q1 2024, representing a year-over-year increase of 11.2%. Gross margin was 61.5% in Q1 2025 compared to 59.0% in Q1 2024. DTC gross margin was 62.9% in Q1 2025, up 80 basis points from 62.1% in Q1 2024. The increase in DTC gross margin was driven by 270 bps of product margin expansion from improved costing and lower discount sales. This was partially offset by the unfavorable foreign exchange impact on U.S. dollar purchases and increased freight premiums. SG&A expenses totaled $33.3 million in Q1 2025 compared to $32.0 million in Q1 2024, representing a year-over-year increase of 4.1%. The increase was partially driven by $0.5 million of unfavourable revaluation of cash-settled instruments under our share-based compensation plan. Excluding this item, SG&A expenses increased 2.6%, primarily reflecting higher investments in marketing, with sales-driven variable costs largely offset by savings from store fleet optimization initiatives. Net loss totaled ($7.9) million, or ($0.20) per share, in Q1 2025, improving from a net loss of ($8.9) million, or ($0.22) per share, in Q1 2024. Adjusted EBITDA amounted to ($7.1) million in Q1 2025, improving from to ($8.0) million in Q1 2024. FINANCIAL POSITION Inventory was $40.5 million at the end of Q1 2025, as compared to $35.4 million at the end of Q1 2024, representing an increase of $5.1 million or 14.5%. The year-over-year increase in inventory was driven by an increase in certain core collections on-hand, addressing the shortages in these areas in Q1 2024, and higher in-transit inventory to support the upcoming season. Free cash flow was ($21.8) million in Q1 2025, as compared to ($14.6) million in Q1 2024. The change in free cash outflows was driven by increased inventory purchases and the timing of certain monthly occupancy cost payments. As at May 3, 2025, Roots had net debt of $29.6 million, improved from $31.7 million a year earlier. The Company's leverage ratio, defined as total net debt to trailing 12-months Adjusted EBITDA, was 1.3x as at Q1 2025. As at May 3, 2025, Roots had $40.6 million outstanding under its credit facilities and total liquidity of $65.9 million, including cash and borrowing capacity available under its revolving credit facility. NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID Under its Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB") program, Roots repurchased 115,300 common shares of the Company ("Shares") for a total consideration of $0.3 million in Q1 2025. The NCIB allows the Company to repurchase for cancellation up to 1,347,118 Shares during the 12-month period ending April 10, 2026. At the end of Q1 2025, 115,300 Shares had been purchased under the current NCIB program. AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S CREDIT AGREEMENT On May 22, 2025, the Company amended its Credit Agreement to extend the current maturity date of September 6, 2026 to September 6, 2027. In addition, the amendment reduced the $60 million Revolver Credit Facility, which includes a swing loan of $10 million, down to $45 million, and increased the maximum annual excess cash flow sweep, as defined in the Credit Agreement, from $5 million to $7.5 million. The costs incurred by the Company associated with the amendment will be recorded as debt financing costs within long-term debt and will be recognized in interest expense over the remaining term of the loan.

NON-IFRS MEASURES AND INDUSTRY METRICS This press release makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures including certain metrics specific to the industry in which we operate. These measures are not recognized measures under International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS"), do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, these measures are not intended to represent, and should not be considered as alternatives to net loss or other performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS as measures of operating performance or operating cash flows or as a measure of liquidity. In addition to our results determined in accordance with IFRS, we use non-IFRS measures including "EBITDA", "Adjusted EBITDA", "Net Debt"; and non-IFRS ratio: "leverage ratio". This press release also makes reference to "gross margin", "DTC gross margin", and "comparable sales", which are commonly used metrics in our industry but that may be calculated differently compared to other companies. Gross margin, DTC gross margin and comparable sales are considered supplementary financial measures under applicable securities laws. We believe these non-IFRS measures and industry metrics provide useful information to both management and investors in measuring our financial performance and condition and highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. For further information regarding these non-IFRS measures, please refer to "Cautionary Note-Regarding Non-IFRS Measures and Industry Metrics" in our management's discussion and analysis for Q1 2025, which is incorporated by reference herein and is available on SEDAR+ at or the Company's Investor Relations website at The table below provides a reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented: CAD $000s Q1 2025 Q1 2024 Net loss (7,911) (8,895) Add the impact of: Interest expense (a) 2,015 2,127 Income taxes recovery (a) (2,821) (3,113) Depreciation and amortization (a) 6,865 7,241 EBITDA (1,852) (2,640) Adjust for the impact of: SG&A: Rent expense excluded from net loss due to IFRS 16 (a) (5,379) (5,589) SG&A: Purchase accounting adjustments (b) (4) (6) SG&A: Stock option expense (c) 75 91 SG&A: Changes in key personnel (d) 54 189 SG&A: Non-recurring legal fees (e) – (4) Adjusted EBITDA(f) (7,106) (7,959) _______________ Notes: (a) The impact of IFRS 16 in Q1 2025 and Q1 2024 was: (i) a decrease to selling, general, and admin ("SG&A") expenses of $1,262 and $1,097, respectively, which comprised the impact of depreciation, and lease modifications on the right-of-use ("ROU") assets, net of the exclusion of rent payments from SG&A expenses, (ii) a decrease in interest expense of $1,292 and $1,291, respectively, arising from interest expense recorded on the lease liabilities in the period, and (iii) a deferred tax impact of $(8) and $(52), respectively, based on tax attributes on the ROU assets and lease liabilities balances recorded.
