NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the three and ~~six-month~~nine-month periods ended ~~August 1,~~October 31, 2020 and ~~August 3,~~November 2, 2019 [Unaudited]

[Amounts in thousands of Canadian dollars except share and per share amounts]

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of DAVIDsTEA Inc. and its subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”) for the three and ~~six-month~~nine-month periods ended ~~August 1,~~October 31, 2020 were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors on ~~September 21,~~December 15, 2020. The Company is incorporated and domiciled in Canada and its shares are publicly traded on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “DTEA”. The registered office is located at 5430 Ferrier St., Town of Mount-Royal, Québec, Canada, H4P 1M2.

The Company is a branded retailer and growing mass wholesaler of specialty tea, offering a differentiated selection of proprietary loose-leaf teas, pre-packaged teas, tea sachets and tea-related gifts and accessories through its e-commerce platform at www.davidstea.com and in 18 Company-owned and operated retail stores in Canada. A selection of DAVIDsTEA products is also available in more than 2,500 grocery stores and pharmacies across Canada. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. Sales fluctuate from quarter to quarter. Sales are traditionally ~~higher~~highest in the fourth fiscal quarter due to the year-end holiday season and tend to be lowest in the second and third fiscal quarters because of lower customer engagement during the summer months.

In March 2020, the outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization and on March 17, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company announced the temporary closure of all of its retail stores in Canada and the United States. On August 21, 2020, the Company re-opened 18 stores across Canada.

The Company qualifies for the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (“CEWS”) under the COVID-19 Economic Response Plan of the Government of Canada. During the ~~first~~three and ~~second quarters of Fiscal~~nine-month periods ended October 31, 2020, the Company recognized payroll subsidies of ~~$0.8~~$1.4 million and ~~$1.2~~$3.4 million, respectively under this wage subsidy program as a reduction in the associated wage costs which the Company incurred, which ~~were~~was recognized in Selling, general and administration expenses.

On July 8, 2020, the Company announced that it iswas implementing a restructuring plan (the “Restructuring Plan”) under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) (the “CCAA”) in order to accelerate its transition to predominantly an online retailer and wholesaler of high-quality tea and accessories and that during the restructuring process, the Company would continue to operate its online business through its e-commerce platform at www.davidstea.com and its wholesale distribution channel, through which it sells a selection of DAVIDsTEA products in grocery stores and pharmacies across Canada. Following a careful review of available options to stem the losses from its brick-and-mortar footprint, the Company’s management and Board of Directors determined that athe formal ~~restructuring process~~Restructuring Plan was the best option in the context of an increasingly challenging retail environment, further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

On July 8, 2020, the Company obtained an Initial Order pursuant to the CCAA from the Québec Superior Court in order to implement the Restructuring Plan (the “Initial Order”).

On July 9, 2020, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware entered an order in favor of the Company under Chapter 15 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The order of the United States Bankruptcy Court provisionally recognized the proceedings under the CCAA and enforced the Initial Order, in effect providing protection to the Company from creditor action against its assets in the United States.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the financial statement disclosures required for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended February 1, 2020, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the IASB. In management’s opinion, the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements reflect all the adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period presented. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accounting policies and methods of computation as outlined in ~~note~~Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended February 1, 2020, other than as disclosed in ~~note~~Note 3 below.

Going Concern Uncertainty

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, responsible for COVID-19, was first reported and was subsequently declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. The measures adopted by the federal, provincial and state governments in order to mitigate the spread of the outbreak required the Company to temporarily close all of its retail locations across North America effective March 17, 2020. ~~On August 21, 2020, the Company re-opened 18 of its stores throughout Canada.~~

On July 8, 2020, the Company announced that it was implementing the Restructuring Plan under applicable laws in both Canada and in the United States in order to accelerate its transition to predominantly an online retailer and wholesaler of high-quality tea and accessories. As part of the Restructuring Plan, the Company sent notices to terminate leases for 82 of its stores in Canada and all 42 of its stores in the United ~~States. On~~States.On July 30, 2020, the Company sent notices to terminate leases for an additional 82 of its stores in Canada and ~~continues to negotiate with landlords for the remaining~~on August 21, 2020, re-opened 18 ~~stores.~~of its stores throughout Canada.

Although the Company continues to offer its products directly to consumers through its online store and in supermarkets and drugstores across Canada, it is unlikely that customers will purchase its products at previous volumes through these alternative channels. Furthermore, the duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown and may influence consumer shopping behavior and consumer demand including online shopping. Notwithstanding that the Company expects to emerge from the ~~restructuring process~~Restructuring Plan as a leaner organization, there is no assurance that the Restructuring Plan will be successful and that all relevant and required regulatory, creditor and court approvals will be obtained.

For the three and ~~six-month~~nine-month periods ended ~~August 1,~~October 31, 2020, the Company reported a net income of ~~$2.6~~$14.5 million and incurred a net loss of ~~$43.2~~$28.7 million, respectively. The Company’s current liabilities total ~~$86.6~~$81.6 million as at ~~August 1,~~October 31, 2020. As at ~~August 1,~~October 31, 2020, the Company held cash and accounts and other receivables of ~~$41.0~~$29.6 million. The Company does not currently have any third-party financing available with which to meet any future financial obligations.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to stabilize its business from unfavorable trend lines, ~~strengthening its business~~and by focusing on how to grow its product portfolio including sales and customer service ~~execution, and structuring~~execution. The Company expects to restructure its operations to ~~ensure it~~ successfully ~~emerges~~emerge with a leaner, more sustainable physical presence that complements a growing world-class online and grocery business, supported by a right-sized support organization.

Management believes that there is material uncertainty surrounding the Company’s ability to execute the strategy necessary to return to profitability in the current environment, including the unpredictability surrounding the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, changes in consumer behavior and the ability to successfully emerge from the Restructuring ~~Plan process.~~Plan.

As a result, these events and conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will continue its operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements as at and for the three and ~~six-month~~nine-month periods ended ~~August 1,~~October 31, 2020 do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities and reported expenses that may otherwise be required if the going concern basis was not appropriate. Such adjustments could be material.

3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

On May 28, 2020, the IASB issued an amendment to IFRS 16, ~~Leases~~“Leases” to make it easier for lessees to account for COVID-19-related rent concessions such as rent holidays and temporary rent reductions.

The amendment exempts lessees from having to consider individual lease contracts to determine whether rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic are lease modifications and allows lessees to account for such rent concessions as if they were not lease modifications. It applies to COVID-19-related rent concessions that reduce lease payments due on or before June 30, 2021.

The amendment is effective as of June 1, 2020 but can be applied immediately in any financial statements—interim or annual—not yet authorized for issue. The Company applied the practical expedient to all rent concessions meeting the criteria as set out in the amendment, as of February 2, 2020. With respect to rent concessions not meeting the definition of a lease modification, the Company elected to account for such concessions by continuing to account for the lease liability and right-of-use asset using the rights and obligations of the existing lease and recognizing a separate lease payable in the period in which the allocated lease cash payment is due. As a result of the Initial Order obtained from the Québec Superior Court on July 8, 2020, any rent concessions provided by landlords are accordingly nullified.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions using judgments that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense during the reporting period. Estimates and other judgments are continually evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations about future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

In preparing these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, critical judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those referred to in ~~note~~Note 5 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended February 1, ~~2020.As~~2020. As of February 2, 2020, the Company also considered the impacts related to COVID-19 and the Restructuring Plan to its use of estimates and judgments, as appropriate, within its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are subject to inherent uncertainty, which may result in actual amounts differing from reported amounts.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

Lease termination

The unaudited interim consolidated statement of income (loss) includes amounts for net Restructuring Plan activities (Note 10). As a result of the termination of leases pursuant to the Restructuring Plan, included in ~~the second quarter of 2020,~~these net Restructuring Plan activities amounts are estimates the Company has ~~recorded an~~made for allowed claims in the three and nine-months ended October 31, 2020 amounting to $6.7 million and $49.6 million, respectively. The estimate for ~~allowed claim in~~ the ~~amount of $42.9 million. The estimate for~~ allowed claim is based on the Company’s best estimate and is ~~determined~~ based on the total undiscounted lease liability offset by an estimate of the losses that affected landlords will be able to successfully ~~mitigate. Accordingly, an expense~~mitigate, informed by proofs of ~~$42.9 million was recorded in Restructuring plan activities, net in the unaudited interim consolidated statement of income (loss).~~claim submitted by creditors. This provision is subject to significant estimation uncertainty, as proceedings are in a preliminary stage. Changes to the provision in future periods may be material and will be recorded through earnings.

Recoverability and impairment of non-financial assets

The temporary store closures as a result of COVID-19, as well as the permanent closure of a majority of our retail stores resulting from the Restructuring Plan, and the related reduction in operating income during ~~the first and second quarters of~~ fiscal 2020 are considered to be indicators of impairment and the Company performed an assessment of recoverability for the property and equipment and right-of-use assets associated with its retail locations.

~~Table of Contents~~

Key judgments in applying accounting principles

Lease liabilities

The temporary store closures as a result of COVID-19, and the resulting non-payment of rent for the months of April, May, June and part of July as well as the Restructuring Plan led the Company to make significant ~~judgements~~judgments with respect to the impacts of these events on the lease liabilities as of ~~August 1,~~October 31, 2020. These include considerations such as the accounting for rent concessions, and the timing of termination of leases.

For all leases terminated as a result of the ~~CCAA filing~~Restructuring Plan and for which the notice period had expired, lease liabilities under IFRS 16 were determined to have been modified.

6. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT AND RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS

An assessment of impairment indicators was performed which caused the Company to review the recoverable amount of the property and equipment, and right-of-use assets for certain cash generating units (“CGUs”) with an indication of impairment. CGUs reviewed included stores ~~to be~~that were permanently closed as part of the Restructuring Plan and the remaining stores that are expected to perform below the Company’s previous projections.

As a result, for the three and nine-month periods ended October 31, 2020, the Company recorded an impairment loss of ~~$13.0 million~~nil and ~~nil in the first and second quarters of 2020~~$13,167, respectively, related to property and equipment, ~~[first and second quarter of~~[November 2, 2019 ~~respectively,~~- nil and ~~nil]~~nil, respectively] and ~~$27.0 million~~nil and ~~nil~~$26,793, respectively, related to right-of-use assets [November 2, 2019 - 2,051 and 7,076, respectively].

~~Included in~~ the ~~amount above, for property and equipment, is an impairment loss of $12.8 million for the 206~~ stores ~~to be permanently closed as part of the Restructuring Plan. The remaining $0.2 million of impairment loss~~that remain open was determined by comparing the carrying amount of the CGU’s net assets with their respective recoverable amounts based on value in use for 7 of the 18 ~~stores that remain open.~~

Included in the amount above, for right of use assets, is an impairment loss of $24.6 million for the 206 stores to be permanently closed after the completion of the Restructuring Plan and the remaining impairment loss of $2.4 million pertain to 7 of the 18 stores that remain open.

This value in use of $791 ~~for the first quarter of 2020, [August 3,~~[November 2, 2019 – ~~$3,924]~~$1,613] was determined based on management’s best estimate of expected future cash flows from use over the remaining lease terms. This determination considered historical experience as well as current economic conditions, including the expected reopening date and the timeframe to foot traffic recovery in those location, and was then discounted using a pre‑tax discount rate of 13.0% for the first quarter of 2020 ~~[August 3,~~[November 2, 2019 – 11.9%].

~~Leases~~

During the second quarter of 2020, in connection with the termination of leases pursuant to the Restructuring Plan, the Company reduced its lease liabilities by $54.7 million, resulting in a gain on the modification of lease liabilities reported in Restructuring plan activities, net (note 8).

~~In addition, as~~As a result of the termination of leases pursuant to the Restructuring Plan in the ~~second quarter of~~three and nine-month periods ended October 31, 2020, the Company has recorded an estimate for allowed claim in the amount of ~~$42.9 million.~~$6.7 million and $49.6 million, respectively, in Restructuring plan activities, net in the unaudited interim consolidated statement of income (loss) (Note 10). The estimate for the allowed claim is based on the Company’s best estimate and is determined based on the total undiscounted lease liability offset by an estimate of the losses that affected landlords will be able to successfully ~~mitigate. Accordingly, an expense~~mitigate, informed by proofs of ~~$42.9 million was recorded in Restructuring plan activities, net in the unaudited interim consolidated statement of income (loss).~~claim submitted by creditors. This provision is subject to significant estimation uncertainty, as proceedings are in a preliminary stage. Changes to the provision in future periods may be material and will be recorded through earnings.

The Company sent notices to terminate leases for an additional 82 of its stores in Canada on July 30, 2020 which were effective on August 29, 2020. The Company expects to record an additional gain on the modification of this lease liability of $16.6 million and an estimate for allowed claim in the amount of $18.0 million in the third quarter ending October 31, 2020. This estimate is based on the same assumptions used for the lease modifications recorded in the second quarter of 2020. The actual amount recorded in the third quarter of 2020 may differ as the Restructuring Plan proceedings evolve.

12. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) amounts are calculated by dividing the net income (loss) for the period attributable to ordinary equity holders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to ordinary equity holders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares, unless these would be anti‑dilutive.

14. SEGMENT INFORMATION

An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses. The Company has determined that each of its retail stores represents an operating segment. However, because its retail stores have similar economic characteristics, sell similar products, have similar types of customers, and use similar distribution channels, the Company has determined that these operating segments can be aggregated at a geographic level. The Company has concluded that it has two reportable segments, Canada and the U.S., that derive their revenues from the online, retail and wholesale sale of tea, tea accessories and food and beverages. The Company’s Interim Chief Executive Officer (the chief operating decision maker or “CODM”) makes decisions about resources allocation and assesses performance at the country level, and for which discrete financial information is available.

The Company derives revenue from the following products:

15. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including risks related to foreign exchange, interest rate, liquidity and credit.

Currency Risk — Foreign Exchange Risk

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Given that some of its purchases are denominated in U.S. dollars, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk. The Company’s foreign exchange risk is largely limited to currency fluctuations between the Canadian and U.S. dollars. The Company is exposed to currency risk through its cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable denominated in U.S. dollars.

Assuming that all other variables remain constant, a revaluation of these monetary assets and liabilities due to a 5% rise or fall in the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar would have resulted in an increase or decrease to net income (loss) in the amount of ~~$155.~~$587.

The Company’s foreign exchange exposure is as follows:

	~~August 1,~~October 31,		February 1,
	2020		2020
	US$		US$
Cash		~~356~~470		1,928
Accounts ~~receivable~~and other receivables		~~1,953~~889		~~778~~455
~~Accounts payable~~Prepaid expenses and deposits		~~5,406~~3,675		323
Trade and other payables		397		6,090
Liabilities subject to compromise		16,385		-

The Company’s U.S. subsidiary’s transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars.

The Company had no foreign exchange contracts outstanding as at ~~August 1,~~October 31, 2020.

~~Table of Contents~~

Market Risk — Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to cash flow interest rate risk include financial assets and liabilities with variable interest rates and consist primarily of cash on hand.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. On July 8, 2020, the Company announced it was implementing the Restructuring Plan in order to stabilize its operations and eventually generate free cash-flow to sustain the business. Considering the Company does not have access to financing and needs to operate the business and fund its restructuring activities, the Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure, to the extent possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities as they become due. The Company’s liquidity follows a seasonal pattern based on the timing of inventory purchases and capital expenditures. The Company is exposed to this risk mainly in respect of its trade and other payables, lease and purchase obligations.

As at ~~August 1,~~October 31, 2020, the Company had ~~$34.3~~$21.9 million in cash.

The Company expects to finance its working capital needs and investments in infrastructure through cash flows from operations and cash on hand. At ~~August 1,~~October 31, 2020, Trade and other payables amounted to ~~$26.6~~$3.6 million (February 1, 2020 - $20.8 million), ~~Provisions~~liabilities subject to compromise amounted to ~~$47.8~~$71.7 million and purchase obligations amounted to ~~$6.6~~$12.3 million (February 1, 2020 - $11.5 million)~~.As~~. As part of its Restructuring Plan, ~~Trade and other payables due~~Liabilities subject to compromise, as ~~at July 8, 2020~~disclosed in Note 7, are subject to a plan of arrangement to be proposed by the Company to its ~~creditors as part of the CCAA proceedings.~~creditors. All trade and other payables from July 9, 2020 onwards are expected to be paid according to negotiated vendor terms.

Refer to ~~note~~Note 2 for details with respect to the going concern uncertainty.

Table of Contents

Credit Risk

The Company is exposed to credit risk resulting from the possibility that counterparties may default on their financial obligations to the Company. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is equal to the carrying value of receivables. Accounts receivable primarily consist of receivables from retail customers who pay by credit card, receivables from wholesale channel sales, recoveries of credits from suppliers for returned or damaged products, and receivables from other companies for sales of products, gift cards and other services. Credit card payments have minimal credit risk and the limited number of corporate receivables is closely monitored. As a result, expected credit loss on these financial assets is not significant.

16. COMPARATIVE FIGURES

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation in the consolidated statement of income (loss) with respect to the Company’s Restructuring Plan.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes statements that express our opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections regarding future events or future results and there are, or may be deemed to be, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Act”). The following cautionary statements are being made pursuant to the provisions of the Act and with the intention of obtaining the benefits of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Act. These forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believes”, “expects”, “may”, “will”, “should”, “could”, “seeks”, “projects”, “approximately”, “intend”, “plans”, “estimates” or “anticipates” or, in each case, their negatives or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. They appear in a number of places throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, our Restructuring Plan, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, competitive strengths and differentiators, strategy, long-term Adjusted EBITDA margin potential, dividend policy, impact of the macroeconomic environment, properties, outcome of litigation and legal proceedings, use of cash and operating and capital expenditures, impact of new accounting pronouncements, and impact of improvements to internal control and financial reporting.

While we believe these expectations and projections are based on reasonable assumptions, such forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us, including the risk factors listed under Item 1A. Risk Factors, as well as other cautionary language in Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 16, 2020, as well as the additional Risk Factors set out in our Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on July 31, 2020, as well as the additional Risk Factor set out in our Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on September 21, 2020.

Actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to, the following:

Overview

We are a branded retailer and growing mass wholesaler of specialty tea, offering a differentiated selection of proprietary loose-leaf teas, pre-packaged teas, tea sachets and tea-related gifts and accessories through our e-commerce platform at www.davidstea.com and in 18 Company-owned and operated retail stores in Canada. A selection of DAVIDsTEA products is also available in more than 2,500 grocery stores and pharmacies across Canada. The Company is headquartered in Montréal, Canada.

~~Table of Contents~~

The Company has a history of losses over the last several years and the COVID-19 pandemic required an acceleration of its transformation initiatives. Consumer purchasing preferences have increasingly been trending away from brick-and-mortar and increasingly towards online and alternative channels over the last several years. In Fiscal 2019 while over 80% of the Company’s revenues were generated from on average 234 brick-and-mortar stores, same-stores sales declined by 12.7% compared to Fiscal 2018. E-commerce and wholesale revenues during Fiscal 2019 increased by 20.9 % compared to Fiscal 2018.

We believe that our proprietary loose-leaf tea assortment and related product suite differentiates us from competitors in North America and resonates with our target customer base. Our strategy is to stabilize our business from unfavorable trend lines by playing to our core strengths and strengthening our business by focusing on how to grow our product portfolio. This includes migrating sales to a virtual experience and best-in-class customer service execution. Our Restructuring Plan is focused on effectively optimizing our retail footprint to emerge as a leaner, more sustainable physical presence that complements a growing world-class online and grocery business, all supported by a right-sized support organization.

On March 17, 2020, we closed all of our stores in North America, as subsequently mandated by the governments in both Canada and the United States in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the degree of uncertainty in connection with the scope and extent of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting impact to our business, and considering that significant losses were historically incurred in our brick-and-mortar operations which are anchored by commercial leases that are difficult to modify, we concluded that our transformation objectives would be better achieved through a formal restructuring process.

On July 8, 2020, the Company announced that it was implementing the Restructuring Plan under the CCAA in order to accelerate its transition to an online retailer and wholesaler of high-quality tea and accessories and that during the restructuring process, the Company would continue to operate its online business through its e-commerce platform at www.davidstea.com and its wholesale distribution channel, through which it sells a selection of DAVIDsTEA products in grocery stores and pharmacies across Canada. Following a careful review of available options to stem the losses from its brick-and-mortar footprint, the Company’s management and Board of Directors determined that a formal restructuring process was the best option in the context of an increasingly challenging retail environment, further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Table of Contents

On July 8, 2020, the Company obtained the Initial Order pursuant to the CCAA from the Québec Superior Court in order to implement the Restructuring Plan. Among other things, the Initial Order provided for the appointment of PwC as Monitor in the CCAA proceedings.

On July 30, 2020, the Company sent notices to terminate leases for an additional 82 of its stores in Canada. These lease terminations were effective on August 29, 2020.

On August 21, 2020, the Company re-opened 18 stores across Canada.

Factors Affecting Our Performance

We believe that our performance and future success depend on a number of factors that present significant opportunities for us and may pose risks and challenges, as discussed in the “Risk Factors” section under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Form 10-Q.

~~Table of Contents~~

How We Assess Our Performance

The key measures we use to evaluate the performance of our business and the execution of our strategy are set forth below:

Sales. Sales are generated from our online store, retail stores, and from our wholesale distribution channel. Our business is seasonal and, as a result, our sales fluctuate from quarter to quarter. Sales are traditionally highest in the fourth fiscal quarter, which includes the holiday sales period, and tend to be lowest in the second and third fiscal quarters because of lower customer engagement in both our online store and physical locations in the summer months.

The specialty retail industry is cyclical, and our sales are affected by general economic conditions. A number of factors that influence the level of consumer spending, including economic conditions and the level of disposable consumer income, consumer debt, interest rates and consumer confidence can affect purchases of our products. ~~Sales also include gift card breakage income.~~

Table of Contents

As we transition to generating sales primarily from our online store, measuring the change in period-over-period comparable same store sales, although still a valid measure within our retail sales channel, loses its significance in the overall evaluation of how our business is performing. Other measures such as sales performance in total and in our e-commerce and wholesale channels begin to influence how we direct resources and evaluate our performance. Factors affecting our performance include:

	☐	our ability to anticipate and respond effectively to consumer preference, buying and economic trends;

	☐	our ability to provide a product offering that generates new and repeat visits online and in our other channels;

	☐	the customer experience we provide online and in our other channels;

	☐	the level of customer traffic to our website and our online presence more generally;

	☐	the number of customer transactions and average ticket online;

	☐	the pricing of our tea, tea accessories; and

	☐	our ability to obtain, manufacture and distribute product ~~efficiently;~~efficiently.

Gross Profit. Gross profit is equal to our sales less our cost of sales. Cost of sales includes product costs, freight costs, certain store occupancy costs, assembly and distribution costs.

Selling, General and Administration Expenses. Selling, general and administration expenses (“SG&A”) consist of store operating expenses and other general and administration expenses. Store operating expenses consist of all store expenses excluding certain occupancy related costs (which are included in costs of sales). General and administration costs consist of salaries and other payroll costs, travel, professional fees, stock compensation, marketing expenses, information technology, depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, amortization of right-of-use assets, any store or other asset impairment taken in the normal course of business and other operating costs.

General and administration costs, which are generally fixed in nature, do not vary proportionally with sales to the same degree as our cost of sales. We believe that these costs will decrease as a percentage of sales over time. Accordingly, this expense as a percentage of sales is usually higher in lower volume quarters and lower in higher volume quarters.

We present Adjusted selling, general and administration expenses as a supplemental measure because we believe it facilitates a comparative assessment of our selling, general and administration expenses under IFRS, while isolating the effects of some items that vary from period to period. It is reconciled to its nearest IFRS measure under “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, of this Form 10-Q (the “MD&A”).

Results from Operating Activities. Results from operating activities consist of our gross profit less our selling, general and administration expenses and ~~restructuring~~Restructuring plan activities.

We present Adjusted results from operating activities as a supplemental performance measure because we believe it facilitates a comparative assessment of our operating performance relative to our performance based on our results under IFRS, while isolating the effects of some items that vary from period to period. It is reconciled to its nearest IFRS measure in our MD&A.

Finance Costs. Finance costs consist of cash and imputed non-cash charges related to any credit facility, and interest expense from lease liabilities.

~~Table of Contents~~

Finance Income. Finance income consists of interest income on cash balances.

Adjusted EBITDA. We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure because we believe it facilitates a comparative assessment of our operating performance relative to our performance based on our results under IFRS, while isolating the effects of some items that vary from period to period. Specifically, Adjusted EBITDA allows for an assessment of our operating performance and our ability to service or incur indebtedness without the effect of non-cash charges, such as depreciation, amortization, finance costs, non-cash compensation expense, loss on disposal of property and equipment, impairment of property and equipment and right-of-use assets, and certain non-recurring expenses. This measure also functions as a benchmark to evaluate our operating performance. It is reconciled to its nearest IFRS measure in our MD&A.

On July 30, 2020, we sent notices to terminate leases for an additional 82 of our stores in Canada. These lease terminations were effective on August 29, 2020. Our retail footprint now includes 18 stores in Canada which we reopened on August 21, 2020.

Non-IFRS financial measures

The Company uses certain non-IFRS financial measures for purposes of comparison to prior periods, to prepare annual operating budgets, and for the development of future projections. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled 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, they should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. We use non-IFRS financial measures to provide supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. These non-IFRS financial measures include; Adjusted SG&A, Adjusted results from operating activities, Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted fully diluted net income (loss) per common share.

Table of Contents

~~Non-IFRS Financial Measures~~

Adjusted selling, general and administration expenses, Adjusted results from operating activities, Adjusted net loss and Adjusted EBITDA, are not a presentation made in accordance with IFRS, and the use of the terms Adjusted selling, general and administration expenses, Adjusted results from operating activities, Adjusted net loss and Adjusted EBITDA, may differ from similar measures reported by other companies. We believe that ~~Adjusted selling, general and administration expenses, Adjusted results from operating activities, Adjusted net loss and Adjusted EBITDA~~these non-IFRS financial measures provide investors with useful information with respect to our historical ~~operations. Adjusted selling, general~~operations and administration expenses, Adjusted results from operating activities, Adjusted net loss and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of our financial performance under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, net cash provided by operating, investing or financing activities or any other financial statement data presented as indicators of financial performance or liquidity, each as presented in accordance with IFRS. We understand that although Adjusted selling, general and administration expenses, Adjusted results from operating activities, Adjusted net loss and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used by securities analysts, lenders and others in their evaluation of companies, they have limitations as an analytical ~~tool, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under IFRS.~~tool. Some of these limitations are:

☐	Adjusted selling, general and administration expenses, Adjusted results from operating activities, Adjusted net ~~loss~~income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

☐	Adjusted selling, general and administration expenses, Adjusted results from operating activities, Adjusted net ~~loss~~income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the cash requirements necessary to fund capital expenditures; and

☐	Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.

Because of these limitations, ~~Adjusted selling, general and administration expenses, Adjusted results from operating activities, Adjusted net loss and Adjusted EBITDA~~these non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered as discretionary cash available to us to reinvest in the growth of our business or as a measure of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations.

Three Months Ended ~~August 1,~~October 31, 2020 compared to Three Months Ended ~~August 3,~~November 2, 2019

Sales. Sales for the three months ended ~~August 1,~~October 31, 2020 decreased ~~41.2%~~33.6%, or ~~$16.1~~$13.3 million, to ~~$23.0~~$26.2 million from ~~$39.2~~$39.5 million in the prior year quarter. On March 17, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company temporarily closed all its retail stores in Canada and the United ~~States. The Company only~~States, and subsequently, as part of its formal Restructuring Plan, exited all of its brick and mortar stores except for 18 Canadian stores which were reopened ~~18 stores subsequent to quarter-end. With all retail locations closed~~on August 21, 2020. Accordingly, brick and mortar sales for the ~~duration of~~quarter declined when compared to the ~~second~~prior year quarter ~~this resulted in a $31.3~~by $26.4 million ~~decline in retail sales and customer migration~~or 86.5% to ~~online and wholesale channels.~~$4.1 million. Sales from e-commerce and wholesale channels increased by ~~$15.0~~$13.1 million or ~~189.9%~~145.5% to ~~$23.0~~$22.1 million, from ~~$7.9~~$9.0 million in the prior year quarter. E-commerce and wholesale sales represented ~~100%~~84.3% of sales compared to ~~20.2%~~22.8% of sales in the prior year quarter.

Gross profit.Gross profit of ~~$8.3~~$10.8 million for the three months ended ~~August 1,~~October 31, 2020 decreased by ~~$13.5~~$10.5 million or ~~61.8%~~49.3% from the prior year quarter due primarily to a decline in sales during the period. Gross profit as a percentage of sales declined to 36.2% for the three-month period ended August 1, 2020 from 55.7% in the prior year quarter. Gross profit was also impacted by the significant increase in e-commerce sales during the period ended August 1, 2020 and resulted in an increase of $3.0 million in delivery and distribution costs, partially offset by better gross margin on hard goods and kits. Further impacting our margins in the quarter was occupancy costs related to terminated store leases amounting to $1.7 million.

As the Company pivots to a ~~digital first~~digital-first strategy, the cost of delivery and distribution that is included in arriving at gross profit will compare unfavorably to prior periods that were predominantly focused on retail sales distribution. The significant increase in e-commerce sales resulted in an increase of $4.2 million in delivery and distribution costs, thereby negatively impacting gross profit percentage. As a result, gross profit as a percentage of sales declined to 41.3% for the three-month period ended October 31, 2020 from 54.1% in the prior year quarter. We expect that the increased cost to deliver online purchases will be less than the selling expenses incurred in a ~~retail~~brick and mortar environment that have been historically included as part of Selling, general and administration expenses.

Selling, general and administration expenses. Selling, general and administration expenses ~~(“SG&A”)~~ decreased by ~~$24.2~~$23.6 million or ~~76.5%,~~76.8% to ~~$7.4~~$7.1 million in the three months ended ~~August 1,~~October 31, 2020 from the prior year quarter. Excluding the impact of the ~~$1.2~~$1.4 million wage subsidy received ~~through~~under the Canadian government COVID-19 Economic Response Plan in Fiscal 2020, and the impact in Fiscal 2019 of the impairment of property and equipment and right-of use assets amounting to $2.1 million, Adjusted SG&A decreased by ~~$18.0 million~~$20.1 million. In connection with our Restructuring Plan, we terminated the leases for ~~the three months ended~~all of our stores in North America except for 18 Canadian stores which reopened on August 1,21, 2020. ~~The decrease is explained by the closure of all stores effective March 17, 2020 and the corresponding impact on~~As a result, wages, salaries and employee benefits ~~amounting to $11.5~~were reduced by $12.2 million, and we realized a ~~$3.6~~reduction of $3.8 million ~~reduction~~ in amortization expenses due to a lower right-of-use asset value at the beginning of the period. Adjusted SG&A as a percentage of sales in the quarter decreased to ~~37.2%~~32.7% from ~~67.8% due to lower selling expenses resulting from~~72.5% in the ~~closure of all stores effective March 17, 2020.~~prior year quarter.

Results from operating activities. Income from operating activities was ~~$4.1~~$14.4 million compared to a loss of ~~$9.8~~$9.3 million in the prior year quarter. Excluding the impact of the Restructuring ~~plan activities under the CCAA~~Plan announced on July 8, 2020, the wage subsidy received from the Canadian government under the COVID-19 Economic Response Plan, the impact of the impairment of property and equipment and right-of-use assets and the loss on disposal of property and equipment, Adjusted results from operating activities amounted to ~~a loss of $0.2~~$2.3 million in the three-month period ended ~~August 1,~~October 31, 2020 compared to a loss of ~~$4.7~~$7.3 million in the prior year quarter. This resulting improvement of ~~$4.5~~$9.6 million is explained by a reduction in wages, salaries and employee benefits from stores and head office, amounting to ~~$11.5~~$12.2 million, ~~and~~ a reduction of ~~$3.6~~$3.8 million in amortization expense due to a lower right-of-use asset value at the beginning of the period, and a reduction of other brick and mortar selling expenses of $3.5 million, partially offset by the reduction of gross profit of ~~$13.5~~$10.5 million.

Finance costs.Finance costs amounted to ~~$1.6 million~~almost nil in the three months ended ~~August 1,~~October 31, 2020, a decrease of ~~$0.2 million from the prior year quarter. The interest expense relates to lease liabilities and has decreased slightly from prior year quarter.~~

~~Finance income.~~ ~~Finance income of $0.1 million is derived mainly from interest on cash on hand and has decreased slightly from the prior year quarter.~~

~~EBITDA~~. EBITDA was $5.4 million in the quarter ended August 1, 2020 compared to a negative $4.8 million in the prior year quarter, representing an increase of $10.3 million over the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended August 1, 2020, which excludes the impact of stock-based compensation expense, Restructuring plan activities and the subsidy received from the Canadian government COVID-19 Economic Response Plan, amounted to $1.4 million compared to $0.4 million in the prior year quarter. As the Company pivots to a digital first strategy, we are seeing an improvement in free cash flow driven from our focus on e-commerce and wholesale channels. In this quarter, EBITDA also improved as a result of a reduced general and administrative infrastructure to support the on-going business.

~~Net income (loss).~~ Net income was $2.6 million in the quarter ended August 1, 2020 compared to a net loss of $11.3 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net loss, which excludes the Restructuring plan activities, the subsidy received from the Canadian Government in response to the COVID-19 Economic Response Plan, the impairment of property and equipment and right-of-use assets, and the loss on disposal of property and equipment amounted to a loss of $1.7 ~~million compared to a loss of $6.3 million in the prior year quarter. This $4.6 million improvement is driven by the same reasons mentioned above in Results from operating activities.~~

~~Fully diluted income (loss) per common share.~~ Fully diluted income per common share was $0.10 compared to a loss of $0.44 in the second quarter of Fiscal 2019. Adjusted fully diluted loss per common share, which is adjusted net loss on a fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding basis, was a loss of $0.06 per share compared to a loss of $0.24 per share.

~~Six Months Ended August 1, 2020 compared to Six Months Ended August 3, 2019~~

~~Sales.~~ Sales for the six months ended August 1, 2020 decreased 33.8%, or $28.2 million, to $55.3 million from $83.4 million in the same period in prior year. On March 17, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company announced the temporary closures of all its retail stores in Canada and the United States. The Company reopened 18 stores throughout Canada on August 21, 2020. This resulted in a decline in retail sales and a migration to our online and wholesale channels. Sales from our e-commerce and wholesale channels increased $24.4 million or 155.7% to $40.0 million, from $15.6 million in the same period in prior year, resulting primarily from the closure of our stores along with naturally occurring organic growth in these channels. The decline in retail sales of $52.5 million resulted from the temporary closure of all of our stores since March 17, 2020. For the six-month period ended August 1, 2020, e-commerce and wholesale sales represented 72.4% of total sales as opposed to 18.8% in the same period in the prior year.

~~Gross profit.~~ Gross profit of $23.0 million for the six-month period ended August 1, 2020 decreased by $25.1 million or 52.2% from the same period of the prior year due primarily to a decline in sales during the period. Gross profit as a percentage of sales declined to 41.6% for the six-month period ended August 1, 2020 from 57.7% in the same period in the prior year. Gross profit was also impacted by the significant increase in e-commerce sales during the period ended August 1, 2020 and resulted in an increase of $5.2 million in delivery and distribution costs, $1.7 million of occupancy cost related to terminated store leases in the second quarter, partially offset by a better gross margin on hard goods and kits. Further impacting our margins in the six months ended August 1, 2020 was an increase in inventory obsolescence of $1.0 million reflecting mainly the spring merchandise left in our closed retail stores during the first quarter.

~~Selling, general and administration expenses~~. SG&A decreased by $30.5 million or 51.3%, to $29.0 million in the six months ended August 1, 2020 from the same period in the prior year. Excluding the impact of the impairment of property and equipment and right-of-use assets, and the subsidy received from the Canadian Government in response to the COVID-19 Economic Response Plan in the six-month period ended August 1, 2020 which amounted to negative $0.6 million, Adjusted SG&A decreased by $28.5 million for the six months ended August 1, 2020. This is mostly explained by the temporary closure of our stores effective March 17, 2020 and the corresponding impact on wages, salaries and employee benefits amounting to $18.6 million and $4.4 million reduction in amortization expense due to a lower right-of-use asset value at the beginning of Fiscal 2020. As a percentage of sales, Adjusted SG&A decreased to 51.5% from 65.4% due to lower selling expenses resulting from the temporary closure of our stores effective March 17, 2020.

~~Results from operating activities~~. Loss from operating activities was $40.3 million compared to a loss of $11.4 million in the same period in Fiscal 2019. Excluding the impact of the impairment of property and equipment and right-of-use assets, the Restructuring plan activities, the subsidy received from the Canadian Government in response to the COVID-19 Economic Response Plan, and the loss on disposal of property and equipment, Adjusted results from operating activities was a loss of $5.5 million compared to a loss of $6.4 million in the same period in the prior year. This resulting improvement of $0.9 million is explained by reduction in wages, salaries and employee benefits amounting to $18.6 million and $4.4 million reduction in amortization expense due to a lower right-of-use asset value at the beginning of Fiscal 2020, and a reduction of other selling expenses, partially offset by the reduction of gross profit of $25.1 million.

~~Finance costs.~~ ~~Finance costs amounted to $3.2 million in the six-month period ended August 1, 2020, a decrease of $0.4~~ million from the prior year quarter. The interest expense relates to lease liabilities and has decreased slightly from the prior year quarter.

Finance income. Finance income of $0.1 million is derived mainly from interest on cash on hand and has decreased slightly from the prior year quarter.

EBITDA. EBITDA was $15.3 million in the quarter ended October 31, 2020 compared to a negative $4.5 million in the prior year quarter, representing an increase of $19.8 million over the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended October 31, 2020, which excludes the impact of stock-based compensation expense, Restructuring plan activities, the subsidy received from the Canadian government under the COVID-19 Economic Response Plan, and the impairment of property and equipment and right-of-use assets amounted to $3.3 million compared to negative $2.2 million in the prior year quarter. As the Company pivots to a digital-first strategy, we are seeing an improvement in EBITDA driven from our focus on e-commerce and wholesale channels. In this quarter, EBITDA also improved as a result of a reduced general and administrative infrastructure to support the on-going business.

~~EBITDA~~Net income (loss). Net income was $14.5 million in the quarter ended October 31, 2020 compared to a Net loss of $10.8 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net loss, which excludes the Restructuring plan activities, the subsidy received from the Canadian Government under the COVID-19 Economic Response Plan, and the impairment of property and equipment and right-of-use assets amounted to $2.3 million compared to a loss of $8.8 million in the prior year quarter. This $11.1 million improvement is driven by the same reasons mentioned above in “Results from operating activities”.

Fully diluted income (loss) per common share. Fully diluted income per common share was $0.54 compared to a loss of $0.42 in the third quarter of Fiscal 2019. Adjusted fully diluted income per common share, which is adjusted net income (loss) on a fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding basis, was $0.09 per share compared to a loss of $0.34 per share.

Nine Months Ended October 31, 2020 compared to Nine Months Ended November 2, 2019

Sales. Sales for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 decreased 33.7%, or $41.4 million, to $81.5 million from $122.9 million in the same period in the prior year. On March 17, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company announced the temporary closures of all its retail stores in Canada and the United States, and subsequently, as part of its Restructuring Plan, exited all of its brick and mortar stores except for 18 Canadian stores which were reopened on August 21, 2020. Accordingly, brick and mortar sales declined by $78.9 million or 80.3% when compared to the same period in the prior year. Sales from our e-commerce and wholesale channels increased $37.5 million or 152.0% to $62.1 million, from $24.7 million in the same period in prior year as we shifted to a digital first strategy to address consumers changing shopping habits. For the nine-month period ended October 31, 2020, e-commerce and wholesale sales represented 76.2% of total sales as opposed to 20.1% in the same period in the prior year.

Gross profit. Gross profit of $34.1 million for the nine-month period ended October 31, 2020 decreased by $35.4 million or 50.9% from the same period of the prior year due primarily to a decline in sales during the period. Gross profit as a percentage of sales declined to 41.8% for the nine-month period ended October 31, 2020 from 56.5% in the same period in the prior year. As the Company pivots to a digital first strategy, the cost of delivery and distribution that is included in arriving at gross profit will compare unfavorably to prior periods that were predominantly focused on retail sales distribution. The significant increase in e-commerce sales during the period ended October 31, 2020 resulted in an increase of $9.3 million in delivery and distribution costs. Our margins were also impacted by an increase in inventory obsolescence of $2.6 million in Fiscal 2020 caused by the consolidation of merchandise from our closed retail stores during the first quarter and the permanent closure of the majority of our stores.

Selling, general and administration expenses. SG&A decreased by $54.4 million or 60.2%, to $35.9 million in the nine months ended October 31, 2020 from the same period in the prior year. Excluding the impact of the impairment of property and equipment and right-of-use assets, and the wage subsidy received from the Canadian Government under the COVID-19 Economic Response Plan in the nine-month period ended October 31, 2020 which amounted to $0.9 million, Adjusted SG&A decreased by $46.4 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2020. This is mostly explained by the temporary closure of our stores effective March 17, 2020 and the reopening of 18 stores on August 21, 2020. As a result, wages, salaries and employee benefits were reduced by $31.1 million and we realized a reduction of $8.5 million in amortization expense due to a lower right-of-use asset value at the beginning of Fiscal 2020. As a percentage of sales, Adjusted SG&A decreased to 45.1% from 67.7% due to lower selling expenses resulting from the now permanent closure of our 206 stores effective March 17, 2020 and the reopening of 18 stores on August 21, 2020.

Results from operating activities. Loss from operating activities was $25.8 million compared to a loss of $20.8 million in the same period in Fiscal 2019. Excluding the impact of the impairment of property and equipment and right-of-use assets, the Restructuring plan activities, the wage subsidy received from the Canadian Government under the COVID-19 Economic Response Plan, and the loss on disposal of property and equipment, Adjusted results from operating activities was a loss of $2.7 million compared to a loss of $13.7 million in the same period in the prior year. This resulting improvement of $11.0 million is explained by reduction in wages, salaries and employee benefits, from stores and head office, amounting to $31.1 million and an $8.5 million reduction in amortization expense due to a lower right-of-use asset value at the beginning of Fiscal 2020, and a reduction of other selling expenses, partially offset by the reduction of gross profit of $35.4 million.

Finance costs. Finance costs amounted to $3.3 million in the nine-month period ended October 31, 2020, a decrease of $2.0 million from the prior year quarter. The interest expense relates to lease liabilities and has decreased from the prior year period due to the store closures.

Adjusted EBITDA for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~August 1,~~October 31, 2020, which excludes the impact of stock-based compensation expense, the impairment of property and equipment and right-of-use assets, the Restructuring plan activities, the wage subsidy received from the Canadian Government ~~in response to~~under the COVID-19 Economic Response Plan, and the loss on disposal of property and equipment amounted to ~~$0.4~~$4.3 million compared to ~~$3.6~~$1.4 million in the same period in the prior year. The ~~decline~~increase in Adjusted EBITDA, of ~~$3.2~~$2.9 million, is an outcome of the ~~decline~~reduction in ~~gross profit~~SG&A that was partially offset by ~~a reduction~~the decline in ~~SG&A.~~gross profit.

Net ~~loss~~loss. . Net loss was ~~$43.2~~$28.7 million in the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~August 1,~~October 31, 2020 compared to a net loss of ~~$14.7~~$25.5 million in the same period in prior year. Adjusted net loss, which excludes the impact from the impairment of property and equipment and right-of-use assets, the Restructuring plan activities, the subsidy received from the Canadian Government ~~in response to~~under the COVID-19 Economic Response Plan, and loss on disposal of property and equipment was ~~$8.4~~$5.6 million compared to ~~$9.6~~$18.4 million in the same period in the prior year. This ~~$1.2~~$12.8 million improvement is driven by the same reasons mentioned above in Results from operating activities.

Fully diluted loss per common share.Fully diluted loss per common share was negative ~~$1.61~~$1.10 compared to negative ~~$0.56~~$0.98 in the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~August 1,~~October 31, 2020. Adjusted fully diluted loss per common share, which is adjusted net loss on a fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding basis, was negative ~~$0.31~~$0.21 per share compared to negative ~~$0.37~~$0.71 per share.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As at ~~August 1,~~October 31, 2020 we had ~~$34.3~~$21.9 million of cash primarily held by major Canadian financial institutions. Working capital was negative ~~$13.2~~$12.2 million as ~~of August 1,~~at October 31, 2020, compared to $36.4 million as at February 1, 2020.

Our primary source of liquidity is cash on hand as we have no access to any form aof debt financing. Our primary cash needs are to finance working capital and capital expenditures in connection with enhancing the functions and features of our online store. Our working capital requirements are for the purchase of inventory and payment of payroll and other operating costs. Furthermore, in light of implementing the Restructuring Plan, the Company expects to use cash on hand to pay for professional fees and for the settlement of ~~Initial Order~~ obligations upon acceptance, if any, of a plan of arrangement that will be presented to creditors. Our working capital requirements fluctuate during the year, rising in the second and third fiscal quarters as we take title to increasing quantities of inventory in anticipation of our peak selling season in the fourth fiscal quarter. We fund our capital expenditures and working capital requirements from a combination of cash on hand and cash provided by operating activities.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of operating results and financial condition are based upon our financial statements. The preparation of financial statements requires us to estimate the effect of various matters that are inherently uncertain as of the date of the financial statements. Each of these required estimates varies in regard to the level of judgment involved and its potential impact on our reported financial results. Estimates are deemed critical when a different estimate could have reasonably been used or where changes in the estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, and would materially impact our financial position, changes in financial position or results of operations. Our significant accounting policies are discussed under Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended February 1, 2020 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K dated June 16, 2020. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates since February 1, 2020, other than those disclosed in Note 4 to our interim consolidated financial statements for the three and ~~six-month~~nine-month periods ended ~~August 1,~~October 31, 2020.

There has been no material change in the foreign exchange and interest rate risk discussed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K dated June 16, 2020.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial ~~Officer~~ and ~~Chief~~ Operating Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of ~~August 1,~~October 31, 2020. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on an assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures, as a result of the identification of a material weakness in connection with our non-financial asset impairment testing processes identified in the close process for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2019, as well as the material weakness identified in the Company’s financial statement close process for the quarter ended November 2, 2019 related to accounting errors identified in the assessment of impairment indicators upon the adoption of IFRS 16, “~~Leases,~~ Leases”~~as previously described in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors”~~, our management concluded that, considering the significant extent of change driven largely by the implementation of our Restructuring Plan, remediation efforts continue and our disclosure controls and procedures ~~were~~continue to not be effective as of ~~August 1,~~October 31, 2020.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The COVID-19 pandemic could negatively affect our internal controls over financial reporting, including our ongoing process of remediating the material weakness in our disclosure control and procedures, as a portion of our workforce is required to work remotely and standard processes are disrupted. New processes, procedures, and controls, which may increase the overall inherent risk in the business, may be required to ensure an effective control environment.

With the exception of the material weaknesses identified there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our fiscal quarter ended ~~August 1,~~October 31, 2020 that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. Except as noted above, we are not at present a party to any legal proceedings, government actions, administrative actions, investigations or claims that are pending against us or involve us that, in the opinion of our management, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

Pursuant to an Order from the Québec Superior Court, there is currently a stay of all proceedings against or in respect of the Company or affecting the Company’s business operations and activities, except with the leave of the Québec Superior Court, until December 15, 2020.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

~~The additional risk factor~~In addition to the other information set ~~out below~~forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should ~~be read~~carefully consider the factors discussed in ~~conjunction with the risk factors previously disclosed~~Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended February 1, 2020 filed with the SEC on June 16, 2020, ~~and~~Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for ~~our first quarter~~the quarterly period ended May 2, 2020 filed with the SEC on July 31, 2020 ~~which are incorporated by reference herein.~~

~~If we fail to comply with the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market, it could result~~and Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our ~~common stock being delisted, which could adversely affect the market price and liquidity of our securities and could have other adverse effects.~~

Our common stock is currently listed for trading on The Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”). We must satisfy Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, including, among others, a minimum stockholders’ equity of $10,000,000, and a minimum bid price for our common stock of $1.00 per share, or risk possibly delisting, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

On August 6, 2020, the Company received a notification letter (the “Stockholders’ Equity Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of Nasdaq indicating that the Company’s stockholders’ equity of $(17,604,000), as reported in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended ~~May 2,~~August 1, 2020 ~~does not satisfy~~filed with the ~~Nasdaq Global Market continued listing requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(A), which requires companies listed~~SEC on the Nasdaq Global Market to maintain a minimum of US $10,000,000 in stockholders’ equity. The Stockholders’ Equity Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock. The Company has until September 21, 2020, to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(A). If the Company’s plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Stockholders’ Equity Notice for the Company to provide evidence of compliance. If the plan is not acceptedwhich could materially affect our business, financial condition or ~~the Company is not granted an extension, the Company will then consider actions appropriate to the circumstances, which may include applicable appeals to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel.~~future results.

~~On August 10, 2020,~~If any of such risks actually occurs, our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition could suffer materially, the Company received a notification letter (the “Bid Price Notice”) from Nasdaq saying that the Company was not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). The Bid Price Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq and the Company has until February 8, 2021 to regain compliance.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements. The failure of Nasdaq to accept the Company’s plan to regain compliance, subsequent failure to regain compliance under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(A) or failure to regain compliance under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) prior to February 8, 2021 each could result in the Company’s common stock being delisted from Nasdaq.

~~A delisting could make it more difficult to buy or sell our securities and to obtain accurate quotations, and the~~trading price of our common ~~stock~~shares could ~~suffer a material decline. In addition, a delisting would impair~~decline and you could lose all or part of your investment in the Company. Although we believe that we have identified and discussed as referred to above the key risk factors affecting our ~~ability~~business, there may be additional risks and uncertainties that are not currently known to ~~raise capital through the public markets, could deter broker-dealers from making a market in~~us or ~~otherwise seeking or generating interest in~~that are currently deemed immaterial that may adversely affect our ~~securities~~business and ~~might deter certain institutions and persons from investing in our securities at all.~~financial condition.
