The company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) reached C$524.3m, representing an EBITDA margin of 33.5% for Q2 FY25.  

This is an increase from C$457.2m in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. 

Dollarama president and CEO Neil Rossy said: “For the second quarter of fiscal 2025, we generated strong results across the board as comparable store sales continue to normalise.  

“Canadian consumers continue to recognise and rely on our compelling value as they deploy their discretionary spending prudently in a challenging economic environment. Our strong traffic trends quarter after quarter also confirm that the breadth of our product offering is allowing us to meet the needs of our consumers.” 

Looking ahead to the full year 2025, Dollarama anticipates comparable store sales growth of 3.5% to 4.5% and expects gross margin to be between 44% and 45%.
