HIGHLIGHTS
- Challenging market conditions, including labour shortages, supply chain disruptions, and inflationary pressures, continued to impact our sectors to varying degrees, with the
USA Sector being the most impacted. - The Canada Sector continued to show improved results despite challenging market conditions.
- Inflation continued to put upward pressure on input costs, including an impact on adjusted EBITDA* of
$46 million related to freight and logistical costs, mainly inNorth America .USA Market Factors** negatively impacted adjusted EBITDA by$40 million compared to the same quarter last fiscal year. - The fluctuation of the Canadian dollar versus foreign currencies negatively impacted revenues and adjusted EBITDA by
$67 million and$18 million , respectively. - As part of the Optimize and Enhance Operations pillar of the Company’s Global Strategic Plan, Saputo announced several major capital investments and consolidation initiatives intended to enhance and streamline its manufacturing footprint in its
USA Sector and International Sector. Costs connected with the capital investments and consolidation initiatives will be approximately$46 million after tax, which include a non-cash fixed assets write-down of approximately$39 million after tax. These costs will be recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. - As part of the continuous evaluation of our overall activities and to reallocate resources to support the growth ambitions of our Global Strategic Plan, we decided to pause the deployment of our Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) project in
Canada for a minimum of three years. An impairment of intangible assets charge of$43 million after tax was recorded during the quarter. The impairment charge also included the effect of the application of an agenda decision of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) related to the capitalization of cloud-based software costs. - The Board of Directors approved a dividend of
$0.18 per share payable onMarch 18, 2022 , to common shareholders of record onMarch 8, 2022 .

OUTLOOK
- The global economy recovery remains uneven. As economies re-open, we are faced with labour challenges, supply chain bottlenecks, and inflationary pressures.
- Input costs, including overtime wages, transportation, fuel, consumables, and packaging, are expected to remain at sustained high levels due to inflationary pressures. As a mitigating measure, we continue to implement multiple phases of pricing initiatives across all geographies.
- Overall, the retail market segment continues to perform well, and we expect our sales to keep pace with pre- pandemic levels. However, internal labour challenges and supply chain difficulties are impacting our ability to supply ongoing demand and maintain historical order fill rate levels, particularly in the
USA .
- We expect the demand for our products to remain elevated, with continued strength in the retail and industrial market segments and a steady improvement in the foodservice market segment.
- The foodservice market segment in the
USA is expected to remain competitive, but the overall supply-demand dynamics of mozzarella are expected to improve as inventories revert to historical levels.
Labour challenges are expected to continue to impact our third-party transport and logistics partners in theUSA , leading to reduced service levels and higher costs.
USA Market Factors* will continue to fluctuate from quarter to quarter, but we expect them to remain challenging as dairy commodity market prices remain volatile. Although we adjust our pricing to reflect commodity prices, there may be a lag which can cause swings in operating income and cash flow from one quarter to another.
- Despite the volatile nature of international cheese and dairy ingredient markets, our outlook is positive with respect to export prices, as we expect them to continue to stabilize.
- Volumes destined for export markets continue to recover, however, the pace and timing of the recovery to pre- pandemic levels will vary depending on the export market and supply chain improvements.
- With the slower than anticipated recovery and the difficulties we faced since the beginning of the fiscal year, our overall performance in fiscal 2022 will be below that of fiscal 2021.
- In the fourth quarter, we expect inflationary pressures to be partially mitigated by ongoing pricing initiatives undertaken in all of our geographies since the beginning of fiscal 2022. We expect the operating environment to continue to face labour challenges and supply chain bottlenecks. We will continue to leverage the momentum of our ongoing Global Strategic Plan initiatives to strengthen our position as a high-quality, low-cost processor with a relentless focus on productivity and efficiency.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER AND FISCAL PERIOD ENDED
We report our business under four sectors:
Revenues
Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 totalled
Revenues increased due to higher international cheese and dairy ingredient market prices and higher domestic selling prices. Pricing initiatives implemented in all our sectors to mitigate increasing input costs contributed positively.
Foodservice market segment sales volumes increased, and retail market segment sales volumes decreased, as they continued to return closer to their historical levels. Retail market segment sales volumes in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 had benefited from increased demand levels in connection with the shift in consumer demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the ongoing COVID-19 context, supply chain challenges, due to container and vessel availability issues and port inefficiencies, continued to negatively impact export sales volumes in our International Sector. Sales volumes were stable compared to those of the third quarter of fiscal 2021.
The combined effect of the lower average block market price** and of the higher average butter market price** had a negative impact of
The contributions of the acquisitions completed earlier this fiscal year,
Finally, the fluctuation of foreign currencies, most particularly the US dollar, versus the Canadian dollar had an unfavourable impact of
Revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 totalled
Revenues increased due to higher international cheese and dairy ingredient market prices and higher domestic selling prices. However, during the first six months of fiscal 2022, fulfilling the export sales contracts that had been entered into in fiscal 2021 at depressed commodity prices in the International Sector had an unfavourable impact. Pricing initiatives implemented in all our sectors to mitigate increasing input costs contributed positively.
Sales volumes were higher than those of the first nine months of fiscal 2021, mainly due to an increase in the foodservice market segment and, to a lesser extent, in the industrial market segment. However, sales volumes decreased in the retail market segment when compared to the surge that occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, although this surge began to level off starting in the second quarter of fiscal 2021. In the ongoing COVID-19 context, supply chain challenges, due to container and vessel availability issues and port inefficiencies, negatively impacted export sales volumes in our International Sector.
The combined effect of the lower average block market price** and of the higher average butter market price** had a negative impact of
The contributions of the Recent Acquisitions totalled
Finally, the fluctuation of foreign currencies, most particularly the US dollar, versus the Canadian dollar had an unfavourable impact of
Adjusted EBITDA*
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 totalled
We continued to face rising inflation where pricing initiatives lagged cost surges. Input costs, such as transportation, fuel, consumables, and packaging, increased in all our sectors due to inflationary pressures. This included an increase of
The contributions of the Recent Acquisitions were positive.
The positive effects of lower administrative costs, such as travel and promotional activities, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, tapered off compared to the same quarter last fiscal year.
