High Liner Foods Acquisition and Financial History
Q3 2023 Performance
In the first three quarters of the year the Company generated in excess of $110 million in cash flow from operations.
In Q3 2023, the Company once again delivered sales volume and grew market share in Foodservice and Canada Retail, while
gross profit and EBITDA declined due to softer demand and category declines coupled with ongoing impact of higher inventory
levels which led to sharper pricing and plant inefficiencies. Key highlights include:
Volumes - Increased by 0.6M lbs (1.0%) to 61.0 million lbs;
Sales - Decreased by $11.5 million (4.2%) to $259.7 million;
Gross Profit - Decreased by $7.1 million (12.5%) to $49.6 million;
Adjusted EBITDA - Decreased by $4.8 million (19.4%) to $20.0 million;
The volume increase was driven by continued strong performance in our Foodservice business offsetting a
decrease in our Retail business as we continue to face challenges due to prolonged impact of inflation resulting in
softer demand for protein, including seafood, as consumers switch to lower cost alternatives.
The Company improved its leverage ratio to 3.1x at the end of Q3 2023 (3.7x at the end of Fiscal 2022 due to the increased
investment in seasonal working capital during Fiscal 2022 and inflation on raw materials).
