(1) Basis points ("bps"). 
(2) No meaningful figure. 
(3) Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA are non-IFRS measures that adjust 
for the impact of certain items that are non-recurring or unusual in nature to 
remove difficulty in comparing underlying financial performance between 
periods. Adjusted Net Income per share is a non-IFRS ratio that reflects the 
underlying performance of our operations on a per share basis, calculated as 
our Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted average Shares outstanding 
during the periods. See "Non-IFRS Measures and Industry Metrics". 
(4) Free cash flow is a supplementary financial measure that reflects cash 
flow generated from ongoing operations, calculated as our cash from operating 
activities less cash used in investing activities and the payment of principal 
on lease liabilities net of lease incentives. See "Non-IFRS Measures and 
Industry Metrics". 
(5) Net debt is a supplementary financial measure that reflects our liquidity, 
refer to the "Reconciliation of long-term debt to net debt and leverage ratio" 
table for the calculation. See "Non-IFRS Measures and Industry Metrics". 
 

"We had another year of strong cash flow generation and achieved meaningful reductions to our net debt," said Leon Wu, Chief Financial Officer of Roots Corporation. "Combined with a healthy inventory composition, we are well set-up to build on our momentum going into 2025."

FOURTH QUARTER OVERVIEW

Total sales were $110.8 million in Q4 2024, representing an increase of 2.4% from $108.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 ("Q4 2023"). Excluding the $2.2 million impact of the additional fiscal week in Q4 2023, total sales increased 4.5% year-over-year. DTC sales (corporate retail store and eCommerce sales) were $101.2 million, a 3.6% increase from $97.8 million, or an increase of 6.0% excluding the additional fiscal week in Q4 2023. DTC comparable sales growth was 7.5% in Q4 2024, up across both channels, and was driven by strong performances in core fleece and active collections.

P&O sales (wholesale Roots branded products, licensing to select manufacturing partners and the sale of certain custom products) amounted to $9.6 million in Q4 2024 as compared to $10.5 million in Q4 2023. While the underlying sales generated by our international operating partner grew year-over-year, there was a temporary decline in wholesale sales as a result of our partner optimizing their inventory levels. This decline was partially offset by strong double-digit growth in our licensing business and China Tmall eCommerce sales.

Gross profit reached $68.0 million in Q4 2024 compared to $63.4 million in Q4 2023, representing a year-over-year increase of 7.2%. Gross margin was 61.3% in Q4 2024, up 270 bps as compared to 58.6% in Q4 2023. DTC gross margin was 62.4% in Q4 2024, up 250 bps from 59.9% in Q4 2023. The 250 bps DTC gross margin increase was driven by 280 bps of product margin expansion, comprised of improved product costing and lower discounting, partially offset by the unfavourable foreign exchange impact on U.S. dollar inventory purchases.

SG&A expenses totaled $45.2 million in Q4 2024, up 9.6% from $41.2 million in Q4 2023. The increase was primarily driven by $2.2M of lower gains from non-cash accounting lease modifications under IFRS 16 Leases ("IFRS 16") and $0.7M of unfavourable revaluation impacts from cash settled instruments under our share-based compensation plan. Excluding these two items, SG&A expenses increased 2.3%, reflecting investments in marketing and higher sales-driven variable costs.

Net income (loss) totaled ($21.7) million as compared to $14.6 million in Q4 2023 and net income (loss) per share was ($0.54) as compared to $0.36 per share in Q4 2023. This decline was entirely driven by a non-cash impairment charge on intangible assets and the associated deferred tax impacts, as described below. Excluding this impairment charge, net income would have totaled $15.0 million, up 2.9% compared to $14.6 million in Q4 2023 and net income per share would have been $0.37, an increase of 2.8% from $0.36 per share in Q4 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA amounted to $25.3 million in Q4 2024, up 9.1% compared to $23.2 million in Q4 2023.

FISCAL YEAR RESULTS

Total sales were $262.9 million in F2024, up 0.1% from $262.7 million in fiscal 2023 ("F2023"). Excluding the $2.2 million impact of the additional fiscal week in F2023, total sales increased 0.9% year-over-year. DTC sales were $223.3 million, a 0.4% increase from $222.5 million, or an increase of 1.4% excluding the additional fiscal week in F2023. DTC sales growth was driven by strong momentum in the second half of the year from compelling brand messaging, omnichannel enhancements, and curated product assortments, including the replenishment of shortages in core collections that had negatively impacted sales in the first half of the year.

P&O sales amounted to $39.7 million in F2024 as compared to $40.2 million in F2023.

Gross profit reached $157.1 million in F2024 as compared to $152.5 million in F2023, representing a year-over-year increase of 3.1%. Gross margin was 59.8%, up 180 bps as compared to 58.0% in F2023. DTC gross margin was 62.6% in F2024, up 150 bps from 61.1% in F2023.

SG&A expenses were $143.5 million in F2024, up 2.3% from $140.3 million in F2023.

Net income (loss) totaled ($33.4) million as compared to $1.8 million in F2023, and net income (loss) per share was ($0.83) as compared to $0.05 per share in F2023. This decline was entirely driven by a non-cash impairment charge on intangible assets and the associated deferred tax impacts. Based on conservative perspectives of the global economy due to the current market dynamics, the impairment of intangible assets accounting adjustment is calculated through our comparison of the Company's estimated recoverable value against its carrying value. The Company does not expect the impairment charge to have any impact on its future operations and long-term growth potential, nor affect its liquidity, cash flows, or compliance with any financial and operating covenants. Excluding this impairment charge, net income would have totaled $3.3 million, up 79.7% compared to $1.8 million in F2023, and net income per share was $0.08, an increase of 60.0% from $0.05 per share in F2023.

Adjusted EBITDA amounted to $21.3 million in F2024, up 7.3% compared to $19.9 million in F2023.

FINANCIAL POSITION

Inventory was $41.0 million at the end of F2024, as compared to $36.2 million at the end of F2023, representing an increase of $4.8 million, or 13.4%. The year-over-year increase in inventory was driven by an increase in certain core collections on-hand, addressing the inventory shortages in these areas ending F2023, and higher in-transit inventory to support the seasonal assortment in the upcoming year.

Free cash flow was $39.4 million in Q4 2024, as compared to $36.1 million in Q4 2023. The increase in free cash flow was driven by higher sales and lower cash taxes paid during the quarter.

As at February 1, 2025, Roots had net debt of $7.4 million, a reduction of 56.7% as compared to $17.0 million a year earlier. The Company's leverage ratio, defined as total net debt to trailing 12-months Adjusted EBITDA, was less than 0.4x at the end of the year. Roots has $42.2 million outstanding under its credit facilities and total liquidity of $94.0 million, including $34 million of cash and $60 million borrowing capacity available under its revolving credit facility.

NON-IFRS MEASURES AND INDUSTRY METRICS

This press release makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures including certain metrics specific to the industry in which we operate. These measures are not recognized measures under International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS"), do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and, therefore, may not 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 our results of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, these measures are not intended to represent, and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or other performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS as measures of operating performance or operating cash flows or as a measure of liquidity. In addition to our results determined in accordance with IFRS, we use non-IFRS measures including "EBITDA", "Adjusted EBITDA", "Adjusted Net Income", "Adjusted Net Income per share", "Net Debt"; and non-IFRS ratio: "leverage ratio". This press release also makes reference to "gross margin", "DTC gross margin", and "comparable sales", which are commonly used metrics in our industry but that may be calculated differently compared to other companies. Gross margin, DTC gross margin and comparable sales are considered supplementary financial measures under applicable securities laws.

We believe these non-IFRS measures and industry metrics provide useful information to both management and investors in measuring our financial performance and condition and highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. For further information regarding these non-IFRS measures, please refer to "Cautionary Note-Regarding Non-IFRS Measures and Industry Metrics" in our management's discussion and analysis for F2024, which is incorporated by reference herein and is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca or the Company's Investor Relations website at https://investors.roots.com.

_____________ 
Notes: 
(a)    The impact of IFRS 16 in Q4 2024 and Q4 2023 was: (i) a decrease to 
       selling, general, and admin ("SG&A") expenses of $1,053 and $3,392, 
       respectively, which comprised the impact of depreciation, lease 
       modifications and impairment on the right-of-use ("ROU") assets, net of 
       the exclusion of rent payments from SG&A expenses, (ii) an increase in 
       interest expense of $1,330 and $1,346, respectively, arising from 
       interest expense recorded on the lease liabilities in the period, and 
       (iii) a deferred tax impact of $(74) and $543, respectively, based on 
       tax attributes on the ROU assets and lease liabilities balances 
       recorded. The impact of IFRS 16 in F2024 and F2023 was: (i) a decrease 
       to SG&A expenses of $4,967 and $7,277, respectively, which comprised 
       the impact of depreciation, lease modifications and impairment on the 
       ROU assets, net of the exclusion of rent payments from SG&A expenses, 
       (ii) an increase in interest expense of $5,124 and $4,854, 
       respectively, arising from interest expense recorded on the lease 
       liabilities in the period, and (iii) a deferred tax impact of $(42) and 
       $642, respectively, based on tax attributes on the ROU assets and lease 
       liabilities balances recorded. 
(b)    As a result of the Acquisition, the Company recognized an intangible 
       asset for lease arrangements in the amount of $6,310, which when 
       excluding the impacts of IFRS 16, is amortized over the life of the 
       leases and included in SG&A expenses. If the Acquisition had not 
       occurred, such intangibles would not have been recognized and, 
       consequently, the associated expenses would not have been incurred. 
(c)    Represents non-cash share-based compensation expense in respect of our 
       Legacy Equity Incentive Plan, Legacy Employee Option Plan, and Omnibus 
       Equity Incentive Plan. 
(d)    Represents expenses incurred in respect of the Company's efforts to 
       recruit for vacancies in key management positions and severance costs 
       associated with employee separations relating to such positions. 
(e)    Represents non-recurring legal costs that are outside the scope of 
       normal operations. 
(f)    Represents one-time costs that do not reflect the underlying 
       profitability of the business, including consulting fees related to 
       inventory valuations used to explore alternative financing options with 
       lower interest costs and non-recurring settlement fees relating to the 
       termination of certain operating contracts. 
(g)    As a result of the Acquisition, intangibles relating to customer 
       relationships of $7,766 with a useful life of 10 years and licensing 
       arrangements of $25,910 with useful lives ranging from 4 to 13 years 
       were recognized in accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations. The 
       amortization expense resulting from the recognition of these intangible 
       assets are non-cash in nature and are a direct result of the 
       Acquisition. If the Acquisition had not occurred, such intangibles 
       would not have been recognized and, consequently, the associated 
       expenses would not have been incurred. 
(h)    Represents a non-cash impairment charge taken against intangible 
       assets, where the carrying amount of the assets exceeded their 
       estimated recoverable amount. The Company does not believe the charge 
       to be reflective of the underlying results of the business as compared 
       to historical periods and further does not expect the impairment charge 
       to have any impact on its future operations, nor affect its liquidity, 
       cash flows, or compliance with any financial and operating covenants. 
(i)    Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of IFRS 16. If the impact of IFRS 
       16, net of impairments on the ROU assets, was included for Q4 2024 and 
       F2024, Adjusted EBITDA would have been $31,032 and $44,533, 
       respectively. If the impact of IFRS 16, net of impairments on the ROU 
       assets, was included for Q4 2023 and F2023, Adjusted EBITDA would have 
       been $31,018 and $45,094, respectively. 
(j)    Adjusted Net Income excludes the impact of IFRS 16. If the impact of 
       IFRS 16, net of impairments on the ROU assets, was included for Q4 2024 
       and F2024, Adjusted Net Income would have been $15,796 and $5,952, 
       respectively. If the impact of IFRS 16, net of impairments on the ROU 
       assets, was included for Q4 2023 and F2023, Adjusted Net Income would 
       have been $16,094 and $6,086, respectively. 
(k)    Adjusted Net Income per share has been calculated based on the weighted 
       average number of Shares outstanding during the period. The weighted 
       average number of Shares during Q4 2024 and F2024 was 40,254,609 and 
       40,251,312, respectively. The weighted average number of Shares during 
       Q4 2023 and F2023 as 40,250,213 and 40,657,335, respectively.
