General information
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, Interim Financial Reporting.

Therefore, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 30, 2023.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies that have been adopted by the Company in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 30, 2023, except for the accounting policy as described below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently for all the periods presented.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern and historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments and pension plan's assets that are measured at fair value, and for defined pension obligations and provisions that have been recorded at present value.

Lower earnings are recorded during the first quarter. The second and third quarters are generally recording higher earnings than those recorded during the first quarter.

On December 31, 2023, the Company has aggregated these two business segments into one segment due to the operational and organizational changes, including the move to new facilities in Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville which now serve a common clientele. The Company's strategic vision is developing in a more global approach to activities. Management now evaluates the Company's operating results as a whole and make decisions on this basis, unlike previously by segment separately. In addition, separate financial information for the Wholesale segment is no longer available.
