Dollarama provided the latest quarterly update this week which showed the strength of the company and the opportunity the market still has for Dollarama to expand even further.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, Dollarama reported net earnings of $146.1 million, or $1.23 per diluted common share, representing an impressive increase over the $124.8 million, or $1.00 per diluted common share, in the same quarter last year. Dollarama reported sales of $854.5 million in the quarter — an increase of 11.5% over the same quarter last year.

EBITDA grew by 19.1%, coming in at $226.2 million, representing 26.5% of sales.
