Companies in the news:
Roots Corp. (TSX:ROOT). Down seven cents or 2.22 per cent to $3.08 — Roots Corp. says it lost $3.2 million in its latest quarter compared with a loss of nearly $1.2 million a year ago as its total sales rose more than 20 per cent. Sales in what was the company’s second quarter totalled $47.8 million, up from $38.9 million a year earlier. The increase came as corporate retail store and e-commerce sales rose to $38.5 million compared with $30.4 million a year ago, while partner and other sales totalled $9.3 million, up from $8.5 million in the same quarter last year. Roots chief executive Meghan Roach says the company generated strong revenue growth in the second quarter, driven mainly by higher in-store traffic. Roach also says the retailer has taken proactive steps to mitigate the impact of industry-wide supply chain challenges. The Canadian clothing retailer is heading into its busiest sales period with strong inventory levels and a “pack and hold” plan to deal with unsold merchandise.
