Welcome to our Good Meals earnings name during which we are going to current our outcomes for the second quarter of fiscal 2026. Yow will discover our press launch and different filings on our web site and SEDAR Plus and all figures on this name are in Canadian {dollars} except in any other case famous. With me right now are Najib Malouf, our newly appointed President and Chief Working Officer Vanessa Harida, our Vice President of Finance and Ross Aomur, our outgoing Chief Monetary Officer. Earlier than we start, I wished to focus on two issues. First, Najeeb and I joined goodfood with a transparent stabilize the enterprise, defend money and rebuild self-discipline. That work is underway and albeit right now’s end result will present the impression of a license suspension, we’ve made important strides in advancing our mandate. Additionally for fiscal 2026, each Najib and I’ve made the deliberate resolution to forego our base wage. It is a voluntary alternative. Our employment agreements stay unchanged, however we imagine that on this part of the corporate’s transformation, accountability wants to start out on the high. This isn’t a sign that we anticipate others to do the identical. Our precedence is to construct a stronger, extra resilient firm, one which creates long run alternatives for our groups, delivers for our prospects and earns the belief of our shareholders. The second factor I wished to focus on is that right now is the final earnings name of our Chief Monetary Officer, I need to acknowledge Ross for his sturdy management and disciplined monetary stewardship over time. He has been instrumental within the transition and we want him continued success in his upcoming subsequent chapter. I’ll now flip it over to Najeeb to start our evaluate of the quarter with Slide three.
Thanks Selim. First, I want to say that it’s a privilege to be serving alongside you yet one more time. Slide quantity three captures the fact of the quarter. We’re executing a essential reset whereas absorbing quick time period disruption. Throughout Q2, operational elements, together with a short lived regulatory associated disruption, impacted order volumes and created value inefficiencies, significantly in logistics. These pressures have been actual, however they have been additionally short-term. Extra importantly, they accelerated our execution. We responded shortly with disciplined value actions, particularly lowering advertising and marketing depth, optimizing headcount, and tightening our give attention to worthwhile demand. In consequence, we proceed to see energy in common order worth and buyer high quality. On the similar time, the reset is properly underway. We’re simplifying the working mannequin, eradicating complexity, aligning the price construction to present volumes and focusing the enterprise on core profitability. In parallel, we’re sharpening the product, providing enhancements in ingredient high quality, significant improve in portion sizes and sooner recipe prepare dinner time to twenty minutes or much less are designed to thrill prospects and into higher retention and elevated pockets share from our most engaged prospects. So whereas Q2 displays stress, it additionally displays progress. The actions we’re taking are deliberate, structural and targeted on enhancing the earnings profile of the enterprise. I now flip it to Vanessa to stroll by way of the financials.
Thanks Najeeb. As proven on slide 4, web gross sales and energetic prospects declined yr over yr reaching $22.5 million and $59,000 respectively. These figures replicate three major elements: the short-term license disruption in the course of the quarter, decrease order frequency, and our intentional pullback in advertising and marketing and incentives. The discount in advertising and marketing and coupon depth is a aware commerce off. We’re prioritizing income high quality over quantity and that’s mirrored within the continued improve in web gross sales for energetic prospects yr over yr reaching $382. Greater basket sizes and decrease discounting are driving the improved unit economics. This is a vital level. Whereas the highest line is decrease, the underlying income base is changing into extra environment friendly and extra worthwhile on a per buyer foundation. I’ll now flip to slip 5 to debate margins and profitability. Profitability within the quarter was impacted by a mix of upper delivery and labor prices and decrease fastened value absorption because of the decreased quantity on account of a short lived license suspension. As such, gross revenue was $7 million for a gross margin of 30.6%. These pressures resulted in margin compression and unfavourable adjusted EBITDA for the quarter to the tune of unfavourable $1 million. That mentioned, we view a good portion of those outcomes as transitional in nature slightly than a structural change. Certainly, when the license suspension occurred, we shipped Ontario orders from our Calgary facility, which is considerably extra pricey than delivery from our Montreal facility, which we’ve now resumed. After all, the present working surroundings with heightened gas prices and meals inflation stays a significant headwind. We even have already taken motion to deal with these value drivers, each by way of operational simplification, tighter value management and pricing, which we anticipate to assist margin stabilization going ahead. Shifting now to slip 6 money stream within the quarter displays the impression of profitability in addition to working capital timing with sure funds shifting into Q2. Importantly, capital expenditures stay tightly managed and we proceed to function with a disciplined strategy to money administration. Our focus is evident, enhancing money technology by way of higher margins, managed funding and continued working capital self-discipline. I’ll now flip to slip 7. The important thing takeaway from this slide is that Q2 displays a mix of decrease scale and short-term value stress. On the similar time, the outcomes reinforce why our present priorities value self-discipline, margin safety and money technology are the best one. We’re actively addressing the drivers of efficiency and the actions underway are designed to enhance each profitability and liquidity over time. With that, I’ll now go it again to Najeeb to stroll by way of our outlook.
Thanks Vanessa. Let’s now flip to Slide 8. Our path ahead is concentrated and disciplined. First on the working mannequin, we’re simplifying the enterprise and aligning the price construction to present demand ranges. We’re not counting on a market restoration to enhance efficiency. We’re designing the mannequin to carry out underneath right now’s circumstances. Second, on the product, we’re repositioning the providing round worth, high quality and comfort. We’ve launched a less complicated menu that’s designed to suit our prospects busy lives. We additionally improve portion sizes and have sourced higher components to make sure the constant high quality of our subscribers expertise. That is already contributing to a stronger basket measurement and is anticipated to assist retention and lifelong worth. Third, on capital and the stability sheet, our precedence is constant money technology and liquidity preservation. Each greenback of capital is being allotted with self-discipline with a transparent goal of sustaining flexibility. And fourth, on progress, we are going to stay selective. We see alternatives in adjoining classes resembling E-commerce and Edibles however we are going to pursue them in a measured method with a strict give attention to returns and money stream. The frequent thread throughout all of those priorities is self-discipline. We’re simplifying the enterprise, enhancing execution and positioning goodfood to generate extra constant and sustainable monetary efficiency. I’ll now flip it again to Salee for closing remarks.
Thanks, Najib. This quarter was not about optics. It was about motion. We addressed operational points, scale back complexity and reinforce self-discipline throughout the group. We’re working the enterprise with a transparent set of priorities. Shield margins, generate money and preserve stability sheet flexibility. We’ve $44 million of convertible debt on the stability sheet with massive curiosity funds. That’s hindering our transformation and talent to put money into the enterprise. We’re targeted on strengthening the enterprise whereas evaluating a spread of monetary alternate options to deal with our debt scenario and improve long run worth. We’re not relying on exterior enhancements to ship outcomes. We’re targeted on what we management, that are execution, value, construction and product relevance. That is how we are going to rebuild efficiency and create long run shareholder worth. With that, I’ll now flip it over to the operator for Q and A.
