Net sales for the third quarter were $30.7 million, down $7.9 million year-over-year, though showing some sequential improvement compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2025.

Thank you. Good morning.
Morning side.
Jonathan Ferrari: I'm just wondering if you could maybe give us an update on what you saw in terms of the trends in order rates in Q3 relative to Q2 and if that was still a driver in the change in active customer account. Yeah, good question, Fred. I think there's definitely less of the holiday seasonality impact here, which was pretty big in Q2. So, I think if you think of order rates in two ways, basically, you have the subscriber order rates that convert subscribers into active customers. And that one, I'd say, remained pretty challenged, even in Q2, towards the end of January and February.
Speaker Change: um, just on your previous call, you had mentioned that the, you know, the Q2 active customer account had been impacted by lower seasonal order rate and just wondering if you could, maybe give us an update on what you saw in terms of the trends and Order rates in Q3 relative to Q2 and if that was still a driver in the change of inactive customer account,
John: 23.
Jonathan Ferrari: We saw some declines there, and that part has been stable. But once an active customer starts ordering, then the order rate is actually higher than it was in Q2, meaning that once someone places an order, they tend to place more orders after.
Frederic Tremblay: So, converting a subscriber into an active customer will be key in continuing to stabilize sales and provide room for growth. Okay, thanks for that. And then, I know we're in the slower summer season now, but just wanted to get your take on...
Yeah, good question. Um, Fred I think, um, there is definitely less of the, the holiday seasonality impact here, uh, which was pretty big in in Q2. So, I think if, if you think of order 8 in 2 ways, basically, you have the subscriber order rates that that convert subscribers into active customers. Uh, and that 1, I'd say remained, um, you know, pretty challenged even even in Q2 towards the end of January and February, uh, we saw some some decline there. And, and that part has been stable, um, but once in active customers starts ordering, then the, the, uh, order rate is actually higher than it was in Q2 meaning that. Uh, once someone places an order, they tend to place more orders after. So, uh, converting a subscriber into an active customer will be will be key in continuing to, to stabilize sales and, and provide room for growth.
Jonathan Ferrari: on when you think we might see some stabilization in the active customer count, and maybe more importantly, what are some of the levers that you think you have to reverse the current trend in active customers? I think, obviously, as you mentioned, June, July and August are not the right months to really do that, meaning that people travel, go to cottages, they eat out more, so there's usually less active customers during that period. December won't be an exception. I think as we move to Q1 of 26, there's both the September back to school, a bit of an improvised platform.
Speaker Change: Okay, thanks for that. And then um, you know, I know we're in the the slower summer season now but just wanted to get your take on, uh,
On when you think we might see some, um, stabilization in the active customer account. Um, and maybe more, importantly, what are some of the levers that you think you have to reverse the current Trend in active customers?
Jonathan Ferrari: I think from the levers perspective, beyond the usual marketing levers, I think there's the initiatives that we're working on, including Heat and Eat. Heat and Eat is now mostly an add-on, meaning that people can add it to their weekly meals, but we are just launching a Heat and Eat plan, meaning that people can order ready-to-eat as part of a weekly plan, where they get recipes just like ready-to-cook, so it's currently only in launch stage, but by September, it'll be available more and more and more and more visible. And then I think, depending on regulatory approval, accessing the rest of Canada beyond Quebec, I think will be also a lever in making Heat and Eat more available across the country.
Speaker Change: Yeah, I think, obviously, you mentioned the, the July June, July and August are not, um, the right months to really do that. Meaning that, you know, people travel, go to Cottages eat out more. So, uh, there's usually less active customers during that period. This summer won't be an exception, I think, as we move to, to, to 1 of 26. And there's the post of September back to school. A bit of an increase um uh marketing intensity, but also uh I think more routines developing uh that definitely provides a platform. I think from the levers perspective, um, beyond the the usual marketing level lever. Sorry, I think there's the, um, there's the, the the initiatives that we're working on including heat meet, um, heat needs is now, um, mostly an add-on meaning that people can add it to their weekly meals, but we are just launching a heat Meat Plant, meaning that people can order ready to eat as part of a weekly plan where they get recipes just like ready to cook.
Jonathan Ferrari: And then I think from a ready-to-cook perspective, there's the Goodfood travel series that provides more of an adventure. There's always partnerships and collaborations that we do that provide new flavour and give us sort of a ramp to go and market to folks, both to increase order rates and to bring in new customers.
Um, so it's currently only on in launch stage but by September, it'll be available more and more and more and more visible. And then I think, depending on on regulatory approval, uh, accessing the rest of Canada Beyond Quebec. Uh, I think we'll be, we'll be also a lever in in making heat, meet more available across the country. Um, and then I think from a, from a ready to cook perspective, there's um, uh, there's the the good food travel series that that
Jonathan Ferrari: I think maybe lastly on the genuine tea side, there's some exciting campaigns coming up but also generally the period just pre-holidays is a pretty big period starting with just before Black Friday and throughout November and early December, so that'll be another lever to both increase overall sales and activity.
Speaker Change: IES. A little more of an adventure, there's always Partnerships. And and collaborations that we do that, that provide new flavor and and give us sort of a rant to, to go and, and Market to folks, and both to increase order rate and and to bring in new customers,
I think maybe lastly on on the genuine T side. Um there's a there's a you some exciting campaigns coming up but also generally uh the period uh just pre pre holidays is a pretty big period starting with uh just before Black Friday and and throughout November and early December. So that'll be another lever to both, uh, uh, increase overall sales in inactive customers.
Frederic Tremblay: And just maybe coming back to the Eat and Eat aspect there, the press release mentions that that part of the business is ready for scaling in early fiscal 26. Is that referring to the launch of the Eat and Eat plan or is it more of a geographic initiative? And if it's geographic, can you maybe speak to some of the regions you would target and if there's Yeah, I think it refers to really three facets. The first one is the completion of the CAPEX here, both for fire safety and some modifications to the kitchen. That's mostly complete.
Aspect there. The press release mentions that uh, that part of the business is ready for scaling, uh, in early fiscal 26 is that referring to uh, the launch of the ethnic plan or is it more of a geographic, uh, initiative? And if it's Geographic, can you maybe speak to
Speaker Change: Some of the regions you would Target and if there's incremental capex involved with, uh, you know, adding capacity and that sort of thing.
Jonathan Ferrari: So that's step one to being ready. I think step two is geographical. So we're currently only allowed to sell the product in Quebec, given the CFIA, the regulator, has to approve your facility to be able to sell across provinces. You know, and the barriers we look forward to seeing removed over time, but for now it's still there. So I think the estimate we were given was sometime in the summer. So we're hoping that by the end of August, we'll be able to have that approval and then be able to target Atlantic Canada and Ontario first, and then shortly thereafter, with a few, looking at a few options on how to do things out West.
Speaker Change: Yeah, I think it it refers to really 3 facets. The first 1 is the the completion of of the capex here both for fire safety and and some modifications to the kitchen. That's mostly complete. So, um, that that's the point to being ready. I think Step 2 is is geographical, so we're currently only, uh, allowed to sell the product in Quebec. Um, given our the, the cfia, the regulator has to to approve, um,
Jonathan Ferrari: There's always the ability to do it from here, but then seeing what the options are over there and. I think we'll share further developments as they come, because they may not require CAPEX, but if they do, we'll make sure to make that clear, though that's not our base plan.
Speaker Change: Facility to be able to sell across provinces, you know, when the barriers we look forward to seeing you removed over time. But for now, it's still there. So I think the estimate we were given uh, with some time in the summer. So, um, we're hoping that by the end of August, uh, we'll be able to, to have that approval and and then be able to Target Atlantic Canada and Ontario, uh, first and then shortly thereafter, uh, with a few looking at a few options on how to do things out west. There's always the the ability to do it from here but then um seeing what what? The options are over there and, and I think we'll, we'll we'll share further developments, uh, with
Jonathan Ferrari: So that's, and then, sorry, the last piece, the plan, making it a plan, so making people, customers, members, having the ability to come on the platform and subscribe to a Heat & Meat plan, where they get Heat & Meat meals only as part of their plan is sort of the third pillar to how we're ready to scale the offer.
Speaker Change: They come because they they you know they may not require capex but if they do we'll make sure to to make that clear. Uh that that's not our our base plan. Um so that's that's and then the sorry the last piece the plan uh making it apply to making people customers members having the ability to come on the platform And subscribe to hate meet plan, where they get a heat meet, uh, meals only as part of their plan is, is sort of the third pillar to, to how we're ready to scale. The the offering,
Jonathan Ferrari: Okay, and last question for me, just curious on what you're seeing for customer acquisition cost. the trend is there, and then maybe just remind us what are your main sort of marketing channels that are bringing you new customers these days? Are you mainly like social media? Is it out of existing customers? I'm just curious to see what's driving sort of first-time orders these days. Yeah, I'll start on the CAC and John will take over on the second part. I think on the CAC, it's been relatively stable and still a meaningful improvement over a year ago.
Speaker Change: Okay. And last, uh, question for me just curious on the um, what you're seeing for customer acquisition cost. Uh,
Speaker Change: Um, the trends there. Uh, and then maybe just remind us. What are your main sort of marketing channels and that are bringing you new customers? These days. Are you, is it mainly like social media? Is it sort of now from existing customers?
Speaker Change: Just uh, just curious to see what's what's driving sort of first-time orders these days.
Ross Aouameur: I think it's managing the CAC curve and making sure that you're investing the right amount of dollars that don't get you into those marginal CACs that get higher and reduce, really, the return you make on the customers you acquire. So I think from a CAC perspective, stable. I think from a scaling of the marketing spend to keep it stable is where we're very, very disciplined. So we're keeping that in check.
I can, and John will take over on the second part. I think, on the tag, it's, it's been, um, relatively stable, um, and, and you still meaningful improvement over, um, over a year ago. Um, I think it's, it's managing, uh, you know, that the cat curve in making sure that you're investing the right amount of dollars that don't get you into those marginal cats that get higher and, and reduce really the return you make on, on the customers require. So, I say from a cat perspective, stable, I think from a, a scaling of the, the, the marketing spend
Jonathan Ferrari: And then John will talk about the channels and reactivation. I would say we're constantly optimizing our media mix. We have been leaning into some of the channels like online video that have been performing quite well. and our core focus continues to be on acquiring the highest quality customers and I think that was evidenced through our record sales per subscriber this quarter which was over $400 per quarter. So the idea is really to make sure that we're optimizing our mix not specifically for the volume of new customers but for the quality of the customers that we're bringing in.
Speaker Change: To keep it stable is is where we're we're very, very disciplined. So, we, we're keeping that in in check and John, we'll, we'll talk about the channels and, and reactivation.
yeah, I would say we're
Speaker Change: Constantly optimizing our uh, uh, media mix.
Speaker Change: Um, we have been um leaning into some of the uh uh channels like um online uh video that have been uh performing quite well.
Um, and our core Focus continues to be on acquiring, uh, the highest quality customers and I think that was, uh, evidenced through our, uh, record sales per, uh, subscriber this quarter, which was over, uh, 400 dollars per quarter.
so the idea is really to make sure that we're optimizing our mix, not not specifically for the volume of new customers, but for the quality of the, uh, of the customers that we're bringing in
Frederic Tremblay: Makes sense.
Operator: Thanks for taking the questions.
Speaker Change: Makes sense. Thanks for taking the questions.
