MONTREAL, Oct. 8, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ - MTY Food Group Inc. ("MTY", "MTY Group" or the "Company") (TSX: MTY), franchisors and operators of multiple restaurant concepts worldwide, reported today its results for the third quarter ended August 31, 2021.
"We are highly encouraged by our financial results in the third quarter of 2021, which was marked by solid double-digit percentage increases in system sales (+13%), adjusted EBITDA (+15%) and cash flows from operating activities (+21%)," stated Eric Lefebvre, Chief Executive Officer of MTY. "This strong financial performance reflects a rebound in customer traffic for many of our brands. It was realized in a difficult context of lingering supply-chain issues, labour shortages and the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as shown by the business days lost due to temporary closures (19,300)."
"On the strength of record free cash flows, an improved financial situation, and a positive outlook for our business, we now have more options in terms of our capital allocation strategy," Mr. Lefebvre added. "During the third quarter, we lowered our long-term debt by an additional $35.2 million in repayments, restored our quarterly dividend with a payment of $0.185 per share and renewed our NCIB share buyback program. Looking ahead, our long-term strategic plan remains to deliver organic growth, while searching for accretive acquisition targets at the right price and with the right attributes."
