“Our China business delivered exceptional performance, growing more than 55% in the quarter as our targeted marketing programs and locally relevant innovation drove increased brand loyalty, particularly across our major digital platforms. In the U.S., we delivered to expectation and continue to progress, supported by the expansion of the youtheory brand in e-commerce channels. Across Canada, growth was driven by the continued success of our quality-focused marketing campaign, while strong innovation and organic growth drove a double-digit increase in our International business.

I'm grateful to the entire Jamieson team for their unwavering dedication and commitment to meeting consumer needs and creating value for our shareholders."

Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures
This press release makes reference to certain financial measures, including non-IFRS financial measures that are historical, non-IFRS measures that are forward-looking, non-GAAP ratios and supplementary financial measures. Management uses these financial measures for purposes of comparison to prior periods and development of future projections and earnings growth prospects. This information is also used by management to measure the profitability of ongoing operations and to analyze the Company’s business performance and trends. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company’s results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s financial information reported under IFRS. The Company uses the following non-IFRS financial measures: “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Adjusted net earnings”, the most directly comparable financial measure for each that is disclosed in its financial statements being net earnings, “normalized gross profit”, “normalized SG&A”, “normalized earnings from operations”, “cash from operating activities before working capital considerations” and “net debt”, the most directly comparable financial measures for each that is disclosed in its financial statements being gross profit, SG&A, earnings from operations, cash flows from operating activities, and long-term debt, respectively, the following non-IFRS ratios: “Adjusted EBITDA margin”, “Adjusted diluted earnings per share”, “normalized gross profit margin”, “normalized operating margin”, and the following supplementary financial measures: “gross profit margin” and “operating margin” to provide supplemental measures of the Company’s operating performance and thus highlight trends in the Company’s core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. Management also uses non-IFRS and supplementary financial measures in order to prepare annual operating budgets and to determine components of management compensation. For an explanation of the composition of each such measure and the usefulness and additional uses of each by management, see the “How we Assess the Performance of our Business” section of the MD&A, which is incorporated by reference. See below for a quantitative reconciliation of each non-IFRS financial measure to its most directly comparable financial measure disclosed in the Company’s financial statements to which the measure relates.
The following tables provide a quantitative reconciliation of net earnings to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted net earnings, as well as gross profit to normalized gross profit, SG&A to normalized SG&A, earnings from operations to normalized earnings from operations and net debt, each of which are non-IFRS financial measures (see the “Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures” of this press release for further information on each non-IFRS financial measure) for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
