Executive summary
Q2 2026 delivered strong results with normalized diluted EPS up 10.4% to $3.94 and reported EPS at $3.65, driven by higher net income, lower share count, and operational agility amid soft consumer sentiment and challenging weather.
Strategic focus on loyalty, digital, and new store concepts, including AI-powered customer insights and expanded partnerships, drove outperformance, especially at Mark's and SportChek.
Value-driven strategies included over 5,000 price drops and expanded personalized loyalty offers, boosting Triangle loyalty sales by 3.5%.
E-commerce sales grew 14% year-over-year, outpacing bricks-and-mortar, supported by digital harmonization and free shipping for loyalty members.
The True North strategy advanced with increased loyalty engagement, digital integration, and new store concepts.
Financial highlights
Q2 2026 consolidated revenue rose 2.4% year-over-year to $4,302.9M; retail sales (excluding petroleum) up 2.5%; overall comparable sales up 0.7%.
Net income from continuing operations increased 13.8% to $214.2M; diluted normalized EPS was $3.94, up 10% year-over-year.
Retail IBT up 1.2% to $201 million; normalized retail EBITDA up 2.2% to $498 million; EBITDA for Q2 2026 was $547.1M, up 6.3%.

Retail SG&A was $769.2 million, down 1.3% year-over-year; SG&A as a percentage of revenue (ex-petroleum) stable at 23.3%.
Outlook and guidance
Early Q3 sales growth observed as weather normalized; planning for growth in the back half of the year on a 52-week basis.
CapEx for 2026 guided to $450–500 million, revised down from $500–550 million, reflecting timing shifts and capital discipline.
Expect some moderation at SportChek as it cycles strong prior-year events; margin rate target of 35%+ maintained despite Q3 headwinds from fuel surcharges.
The Triangle Rewards program will add a fourth partner in fall 2026, expanding member engagement.
Continued rollout of new store concepts and Destination Sport stores planned for the second half of 2026 and into 2027.
