"EBITDASX remains static under the continuing economic environment. Pre-tax
losses were primarily driven by a foreign exchange loss of $663,565 (which is
a non cash charge) on conversion of our U.S. denominated debt and incremental
interest costs, also affected by the strengthening of the U.S dollar against
the Canadian dollar. Our largest divisions, Planet Organic Market in Canada
and Mrs Green's Natural Market in the U.S. both reported nominal negative same
store sales growth during the quarter which was expected given these
extraordinary economic conditions. However, Planet remains confident in its
position and ability to be able to capitalize when the economy recovers,"
reports Darren Krissie, CFO.
EBITDASX reported above is a non-GAAP measure and is earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and foreign
currency translation.
