Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and six-month periods ended August 2, 2025 and August 3, 2024
(Unaudited and amounts in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share and per share information)
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of DAVIDsTEA Inc. and its subsidiary, DAVIDsTEA (USA) Inc., (collectively, the "Company") for the three and six-month periods ended August 2, 2025 and August 3, 2024, were approved and authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors on September 16, 2025. The Company is incorporated and domiciled in Canada and its shares are publicly traded on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "DTEA". The registered office is located at 5775, Ferrier Street, Town of Mount-Royal, Québec, Canada, H4P 1N3.
The Company offers a branded selection of high-quality proprietary loose-leaf teas, pre-packaged teas, tea sachets, tea-related accessories and gifts through its e-commerce platform at www.davidstea.com and the Amazon Marketplace, its wholesale customers which include over 4,000 grocery stores and pharmacies, over 1,500 convenience stores in Canada and over 900 grocery stores in the United States, as well as 20 company-owned stores across Canada.
The Company offers proprietary tea blends that are exclusive to the Company, as well as traditional single-origin teas and herbs.
Our passion for and knowledge of tea permeates the Company's culture and is rooted in an excitement to explore the taste, health and lifestyle elements of tea. With a focus on innovative flavours, wellness-driven ingredients and organic tea, the Company launches seasonally driven "collections" with a mission of making tea fun and accessible to all.
Sales fluctuate from quarter to quarter. Sales are traditionally 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.
All monetary amounts shown, unless otherwise noted, are in thousands of Canadian dollars except share and per share information.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
These unaudited 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 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, 2025, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the IASB. In management's opinion, the unaudited 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 interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accounting policies and methods of computation as outlined in Note 3 of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended February 1, 2025.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions using judgment 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 4 of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended February 1, 2025.
