The increase in gross margin dollars was primarily driven by the increased net sales.
Net earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 decreased to $12.8 million from $14.3 million over the same period last year primarily due to increases in selling and administrative expenses and interest costs from renewed borrowing under Taiga's credit facility, as a result of the dividends paid out in the second quarter.

Notes:
(1) Earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares.
(2) Reference is made above to EBITDA, which represents earnings before interest, taxes, and amortization. As there is no generally accepted method of calculating EBITDA, the measure as calculated by Taiga might not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other issuers. EBITDA is presented as management believes it is a useful indicator of a company's ability to meet debt service and capital expenditure requirements and because management interprets trends in EBITDA as an indicator of relative operating performance. EBITDA should not be considered by an investor as an alternative to net income or cash flows as determined in accordance with IFRS. For the disclosure of the manner in which EBITDA is calculated and reconciliation to net earnings refer to the "EBITDA" section of the Company's management's discussion and analysis which will be available shortly on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
The foregoing selected financial information is qualified in its entirety by and should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and accompanying notes and management's discussion and analysis which will be available shortly on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
