Focus remains on cost control, margin improvement, and turnaround initiatives.
Financial highlights
Gross profit margin declined by 140 basis points to 32.2%, mainly due to a highly promotional environment and category mix shifts.
Cost of doing business decreased 40 basis points to 32.2% of sales, with head office costs down 7.8% and depreciation down 7.4%.
Free cash flow was negative $45.2 million, impacted by 53rd week timing and year-end payments.
Net debt increased to $96.1 million, mainly due to timing of supplier payments and higher goods in transit.

Outlook and guidance
Retail environment expected to remain challenging through 2025, with low consumer confidence and cost-of-living pressures.
