  • Net earnings rose dramatically to C$43.1 M ($0.35 EPS) from $17.7 M a year earlier; Adjusted EPS climbed to $0.49.
  • The quarter marked the completion of the Canada Packers pork spin‑off, reclassifying pork operations as discontinued and positioning Maple Leaf Foods as a pure consumer‑packaged‑goods (CPG) business.
