Indigo sees its sales decline and posts a loss in the 2nd quarter

(Toronto) Indigo Books & Music posted a net loss of $22.4 million for its second quarter, compared to a net loss of $15.9 million the previous year.


The Toronto retailer’s revenue was $206.9 million, down from $236.2 million last year.

The company says it lost 80 cents per share, compared to a loss of 57 cents in the same quarter last year.

Indigo says in-person and online sales have been affected by difficult macroeconomic conditions, lower demand and increased consumer price sensitivity.

The company says these difficulties were compounded by temporary disruptions related to the launch of its new website.

CEO Heather Reisman, who recently took over the reins of the company, emphasizes that her team is determined to ensure that Indigo returns to profit and growth.
