Dear Investors,

We opened 142 net new stores during the quarter, bringing our total store count to 3,031 as of June 30, 2025.
Total revenue for the quarter reached Ps. 18,770 million, a 38.3% increase year-over-year. Same Store Sales rose 17.7%, driven by the strength of our value proposition and strong customer loyalty to our low-price, high-quality offering.

Our investments this quarter focused on expanding logistics infrastructure and accelerating regional growth. We also strengthened our leadership team with the appointments of Joaquín Ley as Head of Investor Relations and Amparo Martínez as General Counsel. Their experience and insight will be instrumental as we continue to scale.
We remain confident in our strategy and the significant opportunity ahead. Thank you for your continued trust and support.
K. Anthony Hatoum, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
FINANCIAL RESULTS
TOTAL REVENUE
Total revenue for 2Q25 was Ps. 18,770 million, an increase of 38.3% compared to 2Q24. Most of this growth was driven by sales from stores that have been operating for more than one year, and, to a lesser extent, the incremental sales from 528 net new stores opened in the past twelve months.
GROSS PROFIT AND GROSS PROFIT MARGIN
Gross profit for 2Q25 was Ps. 3,043 million, an increase of 33.9% compared to 2Q24. This increase was driven by sales growth. Our gross margin decreased by 53 bps to 16.2% mainly due to incremental logistics costs associated with the four new regions expected to start operations in the second half of 2025.
EXPENSES
Sales expenses primarily reflect the cost of operating our stores, including wages and energy. In 2Q25, sales expenses reached Ps. 1,978 million, a 39.8% increase compared to 2Q24. This growth was mainly driven by increased personnel expenses due to our larger store base. As a percentage of total revenue, sales expenses increased from 10.4% in 2Q24 to 10.5% in 2Q25, an expansion of 12 bps.
Administrative expenses refer to expenses not directly related to operating our stores, such as headquarters and regional office expenses. For 2Q25, administrative expenses totaled Ps. 731 million, a 50.3% increase compared to 2Q24. This increase reflects (i) continued investments in human capital; (ii) increased staffing expenses related to four new regions opening in the second half of 2025; and (iii) higher non-cash share-based payment expense, including the recognition this quarter of 192 thousand RSUs and 160 thousand options under the 2024 equity incentive plan. As a percentage of revenue, administrative expenses increased from 3.6% in 2Q24 to 3.9% in 2Q25, or 31 bps.
If we exclude the non-cash share-based payment expense, administrative expenses for 2Q25 amounted to Ps. 479 million, an increase of 38.6% compared to 2Q24. As a percentage of revenue, administrative expenses excluding non-cash share-based payment expense increased from 2.54% in 2Q24 to 2.55% in 2Q25, a growth of 1 bps.
Please refer to the Appendix of this Earnings Release for a summary of the treatment of share-based payment plans and related expenses.
Other income - net, which includes, among other items, revenues (expenses) from non-operative activities such as asset disposals, cost reimbursements, and insurance proceeds, amounted to Ps. 59 million in 2Q25, compared to Ps. 3 million in 2Q24. This line benefited from a Ps. 40 million non-recurring insurance recovery related to Hurricane Otis.
For more information, please refer to the Additional Disclosures section.
EBITDA AND EBITDA MARGIN
For 2Q25, EBITDA reached Ps. 844 million, an increase of 22.5% compared to 2Q24. The EBITDA margin for 2Q25 decreased by 58 bps to 4.5%. Our EBITDA margin was primarily impacted by higher logistics costs and an increase in non-cash share-based payment expense.
If we exclude the non-cash share-based payment expense, EBITDA reached Ps. 1,096 million, an increase of 32.1% compared to 2Q24. The EBITDA margin for 2Q25 decreased by 27 bps to 5.8%.
Please see the last section of this release on how we calculate EBITDA and EBITDA Margin, which are non-IFRS financial measures.
ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES
To allow investors to better assess our performance, the Company is providing the following supplementary information:
Non-recurring income – Hurricane Otis Insurance Recovery: The Company recognized Ps. 40 million in non-recurring income during May 2025, related to an insurance recovery for damages caused by Hurricane Otis.
Non-cash share-based payment expense was Ps. 252 million in 2Q25, compared to Ps. 141 million recorded in 2Q24. For additional details, regarding the treatment of the share-based payment expense, please refer to the Appendix section of this Earnings Release.
Building lease payments: The Company leases its stores and distribution centers. In accordance with IFRS 16, the Company's lease expenses are capitalized, and not considered operating expenses. Tiendas 3B's capitalized lease costs payments for buildings were Ps. 439 million in 2Q25, compared to Ps. 338 million in 2Q24.
FINANCIAL COSTS AND NET LOSS
Financial income totaled Ps. 52 million in 2Q25, up from Ps. 41 million in 2Q24. The increase was primarily driven by interest earned on the net cash proceeds from last year's Initial Public Offering ('IPO') combined with a favorable FX effect.
Financial costs were Ps. 380 million for 2Q25, a 37.5% increase compared to 2Q24. This increase was primarily driven by higher interest on lease liabilities, reflecting the continued expansion of our stores and distribution center network.
The Company recorded a foreign exchange loss of Ps. 234 million in 2Q25, due to the depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Mexican peso, which negatively impacted the value of the Company's U.S. dollar-denominated cash proceeds held from the IPO.
Income tax expenses reached Ps. 117 million in 2Q25 compared to Ps. 112 million in 2Q24.
As a result, our net loss for the 2Q25 was Ps. 286 million, compared to a net gain of Ps. 331 million for the 2Q24.
BALANCE SHEET AND LIQUIDITY
As of June 30, 2025, the Company reported local currency cash and cash equivalents of Ps. 1,121 million. In addition, as of June 30, 2025, the Company held $150 million in U.S. dollar-denominated short-term bank deposits. The Company used an exchange rate of Ps. 18.89 as of June 30, 2025.
Our business model continues to generate a significant amount of cash from increases in negative working capital driven by our growing sales and high inventory turnover relative to payment terms. This robust cash flow has enabled us to fund our growth initiatives internally, including the expansion of new stores and distribution centers.
The information provided below offers a view of our cash flow activities in the first half of 2025:
Net cash flows provided by operating activities increased to Ps. 1,955 million in the first six months of 2025 ('1H25') from Ps. 1,256 million for the first half of 2024 ('1H24'). Our net working capital continues to be driven by a favorable ratio of Inventory Days to Payable Days.
Net cash flows used in investing activities totaled Ps. 1,338 million for 1H25, compared to Ps. 3,713 million in 1H24. This decrease was primarily driven by the Ps. 2,774 million allocation of IPO proceeds into short-term deposits during 1H24, partially offset by continued investments to expand our store and logistics network.
Net cash flows used in financing activities were Ps. 923 million for 1H25, compared to the cash flows obtained in 1H24 of Ps. 2,256 million. The year-over-year difference primarily reflects the net proceeds from the IPO received in 1H24.
KEY OPERATING METRIC
In 2Q25, we opened 142 stores compared to the 121 stores we opened in 2Q24. In the last twelve months, the Company opened 528 stores, compared to 460 in the twelve months ending 2Q24. Same Store Sales growth was 17.7% for 2Q25, compared to 10.7% for 2Q24.
Non-IFRS Measures and Other Calculations
For the convenience of investors, this release presents certain non-IFRS financial measures, which are not calculated in accordance with IFRS ('non-IFRS financial measures'). A non-IFRS financial measure is generally defined as one that purports to measure financial performance but excludes or includes amounts that would not be so excluded or included in the most comparable IFRS financial measure. Non-IFRS financial measures do not have standardized meanings and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. These non-IFRS financial measures are used by our management for decision-making purposes and to assess our financial and operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. The non-IFRS financial measures presented herein have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results of operations presented in accordance with IFRS. Additionally, our calculations of non-IFRS financial measures may be different from the calculations used by other companies, including our competitors, and therefore, our non-IFRS financial measures may not be comparable to those of other companies.
We calculate 'EBITDA', a non-IFRS measure, as net profit (loss) for the period, plus income tax expense, financial costs, net, and total depreciation and amortization.
We calculate 'EBITDA Margin', a non-IFRS measure, for a period by dividing EBITDA for the corresponding period by total revenue for such period.
Same Store Sales: We measure 'Same Store Sales' using revenue from sales of merchandise at stores that were operational for at least the full preceding 12 months for the periods under consideration. Stores that were temporarily closed (for one month or more) or permanently closed during the relevant measurement periods are excluded from this metric. Same Store Sales growth is calculated by comparing the Same Store Sales of stores that were opened and remained open throughout the relevant measurement period.
Lease Costs: Consistent with lease accounting required under IFRS 16, total depreciation and amortization includes the depreciation expense of right-of-use-asset corresponding to long-term leases, which is a non-cash expense. Such amounts, together with the interest expense on lease liabilities, are a proxy for but not equal to the Company's actual cash expenditure incurred in connection with its leased properties.
Sales per Store: We define our 'Sales per Store' as the average of the revenue from sales of merchandise achieved by our stores that were open for the full year in consideration. When calculating this measure, we exclude stores that were temporarily closed (for one month or more) or permanently closed during the period in consideration. This measure assists our management's understanding of how store performance has evolved across different vintages. Sales per Store also serves as a benchmark to measure the performance of new stores and is useful to set growth and expansion targets.
Inventory Days: We calculate 'Inventory Days' to be the average of beginning and end of period inventory balance, divided by cost of sales for the period and multiplied by the number of days during the period. Inventory Days measures the average number of days we keep inventory on hand before selling the product. This operating metric allows us to track our inventory management policies and observe how quickly we are able to rotate inventory, which is key to our cash conversion cycle.
Payable Days: We calculate 'Payable Days' to be the sum of the average of beginning and end of period balance of suppliers and of accounts payable and accrued expenses, divided by cost of sales for the period and multiplied by the number of days during the period. Payable Days measures the average number of days that it takes us to pay suppliers after receiving goods or services. This metric allows us to track the terms of payment policies with suppliers and our ability to finance our operations through agreements with our suppliers.

APPENDIX 1: FULLY DILUTED SHARES ILLUSTRATIVE CALCULATION
To further improve investors' understanding of our capital structure, we are providing below an illustrative calculation of our fully diluted share count as of June 30, 2025, inclusive of Class A common shares and Class C common shares subject to vested and unvested stock options, restricted stock units, and Class C common shares under the Liquidity Event Share Plan and the Bolton Partners Share Allocation. We calculate our fully diluted common shares outstanding by assuming the 'net settlement' of all our outstanding options at their weighted average strike price.
The illustrative example below assumes:
Price per Class A common share: US$30.00
Weighted average exercise price of US$5.80 per Class C common share subject to options granted under our Legacy 2004 Option Plan
Weighted average exercise price of $29.22 per Class A common share subject to options granted under our 2024 Equity Incentive Plan
All outstanding options are vested as of the date hereof, for illustrative purposes only
(1)
See the illustrative calculation below for how this figure is calculated. Assumes the net exercise at their weighted average strike price of all options granted under our legacy 2004 Option Plan, all options granted under our 2024 Equity Incentive Plan and all restricted stock units granted under our 2024 Equity Incentive Plan.
Expand
(1)
Net share numbers have been rounded down to the nearest whole share.
(2)
For illustrative purposes we are assuming all options are exercised into Class A common shares but note that options under our Legacy 2004 Option Plan are exercisable for Class C common shares. All our Class C common shares are subject to a liquidity lock-up that expires on August 8, 2026 (subject to exceptions).
Expand
The example above is provided for illustrative purposes only. The number of common shares outstanding would change if the strike price of the specific option being exercised were higher or lower than the weighted average strike price assumed for this exercise and/or if the market price for our Class A common shares was higher or lower at the time of exercise than the assumed price.
APPENDIX 2: SHARE-BASED PAYMENT EXPENSE
The tables and explanatory text below provide a breakdown of the expenses associated with stock options and restricted shares granted under the 2004 Option Plan, the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, and the Liquidity Event Share Plan.
All our share-based compensation plans were previously fully disclosed in our offering documents and public filings, including in our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (the 'SEC'), each of which is available on the SEC's website (www.sec.gov) and on our investor relations website.
The previously disclosed Liquidity Event Share Plan in the aggregate amount of 7.5 million Class C common shares was subject to formal assignment and delayed delivery. On June 24, 2025, Tiendas 3B formally granted the 7.5 million Class C common shares. Our board of directors also determined it was in the best interests of the Company primarily in relation to talent retention to subject the award to quarterly vesting over a three-year period. The corresponding expense will be recognized during such three-year period beginning in the third quarter of 2025 using a graded vesting model (accelerated expense recognition) with a corresponding increase to equity.
Under IFRS, the cost of this award is recognized as a non-cash expense in the profit and loss statement, even though the award is equity-settled. The fair value of the grant is determined at the grant date, and for awards with vesting conditions, the expense is recognized over the applicable vesting period. To improve investors' understanding of how we recognize the non-cash expenses associated with each of our share-based payment arrangements, we are including below our current estimations for non-cash share-based payment expenses per program from 2025 until 2028. We note however, that these figures may vary slightly from initial estimates due to the actual vesting of the awards.
It is important to note that number of shares has not changed from previously disclosed amounts, such that the formal grant of these awards and vesting schedule does not result in any additional dilution incremental to previously disclosed amounts reflected in our fully diluted share count, as set forth in Appendix I. Additionally, the estimated share-based payment expense reflected in the table below only considers awards granted as of today. The Company may grant additional awards under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan as administered by the Company's compensation committee (or such other committee of our board of directors to which it has properly delegated power, or if no such committee or subcommittee exists, our board of directors).
(1)
Expense is recognized on a non-linear basis using a graded vesting method, being higher at the start of the period and decreasing over time.

CI Financial and Mubadala Capital Announce Completion of Take-Private Transaction by Mubadala Capital

TORONTO, August 13, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CI Financial Corp. ("CI" or the "Corporation") (TSX: CIX) and Mubadala Capital today announced the successful completion, effective August 12, 2025, of the previously announced acquisition of CI, one of North America's leading diversified asset and wealth management companies. The C$12.1-billion transaction marks a significant milestone in Mubadala Capital's growth ambitions, accelerating its expansion into private wealth management and cementing its position at the forefront of a rapidly evolving sector. The transaction was completed by way of a statutory plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement, among other things, Mubadala Capital acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Corporation ("CI Shares") for cash consideration equal to C$32.00 per share, other than Rollover Shares (as defined below). The transaction valued CI's equity at approximately C$4.7 billion and implies an enterprise value of approximately C$12.1 billion. With this transaction, Mubadala Capital now manages, advises, and administers for clients and limited partners over US$430 billion in combined assets through its asset managers and strategic partners, including CI and its affiliates. The scale underscores Mubadala Capital's vision to build a leading asset management platform that combines institutional-quality alternative investments across multiple asset classes and geographies, including private equity, credit, special opportunities with a focus on Brazil and other alternative investments, with comprehensive wealth management services. "This is an exciting new chapter for CI. In Mubadala Capital we've found the perfect partner – one who shares our aspirations and is committed to supporting the next phase of our journey," said Kurt MacAlpine, Chief Executive Officer of CI. "Together, we are uniquely positioned to expand our capabilities, accelerate growth and unlock even greater value for the clients we serve." CI's headquarters remains in Toronto and the firm continues to operate independently under its current corporate structure, strategy, brand names and management team, led by Mr. MacAlpine. The CEO is rolling all1 of his equity into the continuing company in partnership with Mubadala Capital, demonstrating his commitment to their shared vision for CI. With the transaction now closed, CI gains access to Mubadala Capital's global network and capital resources to accelerate strategic initiatives and capitalize on new opportunities in the evolving asset and wealth management landscape in North America and globally. In particular, the transaction positions CI to continue the expansion of Corient, its U.S. subsidiary. The deal preserves Corient's unique private partnership model, which has been a key driver of its success. "CI Financial is an incredible business that aligns closely with Mubadala Capital's long-term vision and strategy," said Hani Barhoush, CEO and Managing Director of Mubadala Capital. "By combining CI's wealth management expertise and long-standing client relationships with our alternative investment capabilities and global reach, we are building a differentiated platform focused on the thoughtful stewardship of capital — helping clients grow, preserve, and manage wealth across generations, while driving innovation in how wealth is served." The transaction builds on Mubadala Capital's deep expertise in building and scaling complex, multi-jurisdictional businesses and positions the firm to support CI's continued growth and innovation in serving clients.

2 Stocks Down More Than 90% That Still Aren't Worth Buying

Key Points Teladoc Health and Tilray Brands have lost significant value over the past five years. Teladoc is posting slow growth and consistent net losses, with little hope of a turnaround. Tilray faces several roadblocks in the highly regulated cannabis industry. 10 stocks we like better than Teladoc Health › While basic investing wisdom advises us to "buy low," no point is low enough when there's hardly any hope that a stock will bounce back. In other words, no matter how much a company lags the market, sometimes it still isn't attractive. In my view, that's the case with Teladoc Health (NYSE: TDOC) and Tilray Brands (NASDAQ: TLRY), both of which have lost more than 90% of their market value over the past five years. Their stocks still aren't worth buying, though. Here's what investors need to know about these companies. 1. Teladoc Health Teladoc, a telemedicine specialist, experienced a surge in popularity in 2020, as people were confined to their homes and had limited options for accessing medical care. Patients can access basic consultations, prescriptions, and referrals through telemedicine platforms. Teladoc helped provide that, but the company's fortunes turned in 2021. Demand for its services declined as government-imposed lockdown measures expired. The company also experienced consistent, and sometimes significant, net losses. Furthermore, BetterHelp, Teladoc's virtual therapy service and one of its main growth drivers during this period, also started facing challenges. BetterHelp encountered stiff competition, which ate into its market share. Due to all these issues, Teladoc's revenue has been growing very slowly -- if at all -- for the past few quarters, and the company remains unprofitable. Teladoc is looking to turn things around. One bright spot in the company's recent financial results has been its international expansion efforts. International revenue has been growing at a faster rate than in the rest of its business. If it can continue setting roots in countries outside the U.S., it could exploit meaningful growth opportunities there, or so the argument goes. Since the company's ecosystem remains deep -- with approximately 102 million integrated-care members -- Teladoc also hopes that it can grow revenue by cross-selling additional products to its existing members. While these plans sound good in theory, it's doubtful that Teladoc can pull them off. The telehealth specialist's efforts abroad might increase its already high expenses and make it harder for the company to turn profitable. And while cross-selling more products to existing members might be a great idea, Teladoc has failed to make meaningful progress in the past few years through this route. Maybe the company will eventually turn that around, but there's little reason to believe it will. The stock looks likely to remain southbound for some time, which is why it's best to avoid it. 2. Tilray Brands Tilray is a leader in the cannabis industry. The company offers a suite of products across both recreational and medical channels in Canada, the U.S., Germany, and several other countries. In Canada, Tilray still has the leading market share. However, none of that has allowed the company to perform well in recent years. It's not entirely Tilray's fault, since the cannabis industry faces significant regulatory challenges in the U.S.; the substance remains illegal at the federal level. Even in Canada, where medical and recreational uses of cannabis are legal, there have been challenges for the business, including oversupply. Although Tilray has the leading market share in Canada, the landscape has been challenging enough that it hasn't been able to grow its top and bottom lines consistently. In fairness, Tilray is now a fairly diversified company. It has expanded its craft brewing business, and also purchases and resells various pharmaceutical products in Germany through its distribution segment. The final business unit, "wellness," involves the production and sale of hemp-based foods. That said, diversification has had little impact on improving Tilray's financial results. So the company continues to rely on potential regulatory progress in the cannabis market. CEO Irwin Simon thinks recreational uses of cannabis will be legal in the U.S. by the end of President Donald Trump's second term. That's one reason the company expanded its craft brewing business in the U.S. through acquisition -- so it can sell drinks infused with THC and CBD when that happens. Tilray hopes that once legalization lands, it will be able to hit the ground running and dominate the markets for both recreational cannabis and cannabis-infused drinks, thanks to its existing footprint. However, there's no guarantee that this scenario will materialize anytime soon. While Tilray's shares recently soared on news that Trump could reclassify marijuana from a Schedule I substance to Schedule III, that's some ways away from federal legalization. It would be progress, to be clear. Schedule I drugs are considered to have the highest potential for abuse; that's not the case for Schedule III substances. However, marijuana would remain a controlled substance, still subject to heavy regulations at the federal level. But even under Simon's best-case scenario -- not just rescheduling but full-blown legalization -- we learned from our neighbors to the north that it's no guarantee of success for cannabis players. Tilray could encounter many of the same issues it faced in Canada. These included an initially complicated retail licensing system, stiff competition, and oversupply. In short, there's little hope that Tilray can bounce back anytime soon. The stock isn't worth investing in today. Should you buy stock in Teladoc Health right now?
