FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This press release contains “forward-looking
information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities
legislation. Such forward-looking information includes, but is not
limited to, information with respect to our objectives and the
strategies to achieve these objectives, as well as information with
respect to our beliefs, plans, expectations, anticipations,
assumptions, estimates and intentions, including, without
limitation, statements in the “Financial Outlook” section of the
MD&A. This forward-looking information is identified by the use
of terms and phrases such as “may”, “would”, “should”, “could”,
“expect”, “intend”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “foresee”,
“believe”, and “continue”, as well as the negative of these terms
and similar terminology, including references to assumptions,
although not all forward-looking information contains these terms
and phrases. Forward-looking information is provided for the
purposes of assisting the reader in understanding the Company and
its business, operations, prospects and risks at a point in time in
the context of historical trends, current condition and possible
future developments and therefore the reader is cautioned that such
information may not be appropriate for other purposes.
Forward-looking information is based upon a
number of assumptions and is subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, which could
cause actual results to differ materially from those that are
disclosed in, or implied by, such forward-looking information.
These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the
following risk factors which are discussed in greater detail under
“Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Information Form for the 52
weeks ended September 2, 2023 available on SEDAR+ at
www.sedarplus.ca: limited operating history, negative operating
cash flow, going concern risk, food industry including current
industry inflation levels, indebtedness and impact upon financial
condition, future capital requirements, quality control and health
concerns, regulatory compliance, regulation of the industry, public
safety issues, product recalls, damage to Goodfood’s reputation,
transportation disruptions, storage and delivery of perishable
foods, product liability, unionization activities, consolidation
trends, ownership and protection of intellectual property, evolving
industry, reliance on management, fulfillment centers and logistics
channels, factors which may prevent realization of growth targets,
competition, availability and quality of raw materials,
environmental and employee health and safety regulations, online
security breaches and disruptions, reliance on data centers, open
source license compliance, operating risk and insurance coverage,
management of growth, limited number and scope of products,
conflicts of interest, litigation, food costs and availabilities,
catastrophic events, risks associated with payments from customers

property rights of others and, climate change and environmental
risks, as well as an inability to maintain high social
responsibility standards could lead to reputational damage and
adversely affect our business. This is not an exhaustive list of
risks that may affect the Company’s forward-looking statements.
Other risks not presently known to the Company or that the Company
believes are not significant could also cause actual results to
differ materially from those expressed in its forward-looking
statements. Although the forward-looking information contained
herein is based upon what we believe are reasonable assumptions,
readers are cautioned against placing undue reliance on this
information since actual results may vary from the forward-looking
information. Certain assumptions were made in preparing the
forward-looking information concerning the availability of capital
resources, business performance, market conditions, as well as
customer demand.
In addition, net sales and operating results
could be impacted by changes in the overall economic condition in
Canada and by the continuing inflationary pressures and by the
impact these conditions could have on consumer discretionary
spending. Fears of a looming recession, increases in interest
rates, continuing supply chain disruptions and increased input
costs are expected to have a continuing significant impact on our
economic condition that could materially affect our financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Consequently, all of the forward-looking
information contained herein is qualified by the foregoing
cautionary statements, and there can be no guarantee that the
results or developments that we anticipate will be realized or,
even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected
consequences or effects on our business, financial condition or
results of operation. Unless otherwise noted or the context
otherwise indicates, the forward-looking information contained
herein is provided as of the date hereof, and we do not undertake
to update or amend such forward-looking information whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as
may be required by applicable law.
