The company reported strong financial positioning at the end of its third quarter 2025 fiscal year, with an unused revolving credit facility of $594.6 million and ongoing supply chain modernization investments yielding efficiency gains to support retail network expansion. Metro continues to emphasize dividend payments representing 30% to 40% of prior-year net earnings before extraordinary items, declaring eligible dividends under Canada's Income Tax Act.
