Goodfood Market Corp. (TSX:FOOD), one of the leading Canadian grocers, generated significantly high revenue in the second quarter for fiscal 2021.
The total revenue went up 71 per cent YoY to C$ 100.7 million in Q2, ended on February 28, the company said in its earnings report on Wednesday.
However, investors were not too happy with the rise in top line since the company’s net loss rose as much as 20 per cent YoY.
Its stock plunged almost 5 per cent on Wednesday, April 7.
Its cash flow from operations amounted to C$ 5.4 million in Q2 FY21, a good turnaround of C$ 9.3 million against the second fiscal quarter of 2019. The company held an all-time high available cash of C$ 163 million at the end of the quarter.
Montreal-headquartered firm’s active subscribers soared to 319,000 as of February 2021, a rise of 30 per cent YoY. Its customer numbers may increase further due to renewed shutdowns across several provinces.

Goodfood’s Financial Outlook For 2021
The e-grocery market’s growth accelerated amid the COVID-19 crisis. As the pandemic rages on, Goodfood expects to expand its subscribers base by investing in capacity expansion via automation and additional offerings on its digital platform.
The company is looking for long-term plans to create better shareholder wealth and compromising on short-term value creation. Therefore, it anticipates more long-term investments this year.
The above constitutes a preliminary view and any interest in stocks should be evaluated further from an investment point of view.
