Roots reports a first-quarter net loss of $10.1 million as it continues a strategic review. The company’s latest results show first-quarter sales of $42.6 million, which are higher than in the same period a year earlier, according to the reporting. Despite the year-over-year rise in sales, Roots’ quarter ends with a loss, indicating that costs and other expenses offset the increase in revenue. The Globe and Mail and the Winnipeg Free Press both focus on the size of the quarterly loss and the fact that sales move higher year over year. Both accounts also reference that Roots is in the middle of a strategic review, an ongoing process the company says is meant to guide its next steps. The two sources present consistent figures for the reported quarterly loss and the reported first-quarter sales level, while providing limited additional operational detail beyond the change in sales and the continued review.
