- The Company’s financial statements for fiscal year 2023 and 2022 were audited by an external assurance firm.
- The Company adjusts its revenue by adding back the value of jewelry that was returned by customers, revenue from orders for which fulfillment is under process, and discounts given to customers. These adjustments are made to assess the gross revenue before deducting these items from revenue per IFRS. See Non-IFRS Measures for a full reconciliation.
- The Company adjusts its total comprehensive income (loss) by removing the impact of non-cash expenses, consisting of depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, accretion, revaluation of metal loan and translation gain or loss. See Non-IFRS Measures for a full reconciliation.
- Inventory balances in kilograms of gold are calculated by taking the total Canadian Dollar (CAD) inventory value at each quarter-end date and dividing the value by the CAD gold spot price per gram.
STATEMENT FROM CEO VINCENT GLADU:
This quarter, Menē experienced another increase in top-line revenue Year over Year, predominantly driven by the continued ascent in the price of gold and by our September sale which we did not hold last year. While these continued increases in revenue are welcomed, we remain cautious about the current macroeconomic environment. We continue deploying tactics that attract new customers to increase the number of orders, while keeping operating costs relatively low.
Our focus remains on completing the operational transformation we began undertaking around this time last year, transforming the business into a much leaner and scalable operating model that will deliver long-term, sustainable, and profitable growth. We continue building Menē into a brand that will endure the test of time, and whose focus is on unparalleled craftsmanship and customer service, rather than on market trends and other extrinsic factors.
To celebrate a year of change and renewal, we recently launched our Holiday collection. It has something for every taste and is a sure way to bring joy and cheer to you and your loved ones for the Holidays. This year, don’t wait too long to get your gifts and find everything you need right here: https://mene.com/new-arrivals/gold.
