“Our fourth quarter was challenging, notably in the U.S., as we navigated through commodity price volatility, increases in input and logistics costs, and labour and supply constraints, made even tougher by the Omicron surge. Nevertheless, our Canada, Argentina, and UK businesses continued to perform well and were in line with our expectations,” said Lino A. Saputo, Chair of the Board, President and CEO. “Our teams are laser-focused on addressing the short-term challenges while delivering on our long-term goals. We will continue to act with speed and agility to address external headwinds by balancing price, volume, and costs, while we work to improve our margins over time. Accordingly, we expect a meaningful earnings improvement in fiscal 2023”.

Commenting on year-end results, Mr. Saputo added, “Despite a challenging year, we maintained our ability to generate strong operating cash flows, a testament to our diversified global platform. We remain committed to executing on our strategic objectives and believe we have the right strategies in place to deliver sustainable, profitable growth over the long-term. My ongoing gratitude goes to all Saputo employees for their outstanding efforts, and we are committed to ensuring a safe, healthy, and rewarding work environment in the year ahead”.
