Canadian discount retailer Dollarama Inc posted a 2.4% decrease in quarterly same-store sales, hit by store closures and a slowdown in traffic due to public-health measures directing Canadians to stay home to contain the spread of the coronavirus.
Montreal-based Dollarama said net income fell to C$86.1 million (€56.53 million), or 28 Canadian cents per share, in the first quarter ended 3 May, from C$103.5 million (€67.95 million), or 33 Canadian cents per share, a year earlier.
Sales rose to C$844.8 million (€554.65 million) from C$828 million (€543.62 million).
