BMTC Group Inc. narrowed its net loss to $2,265,000 for the quarter ended April 30, 2026, compared to a net loss of $12,933,000 in the corresponding period of 2025. Revenue decreased by 5.7% to $141,576,000, driven primarily by a 5.9% decline in sales at the Tanguay division, which fell by $8,853,000. Despite the revenue drop, the company improved its financial position through a recovery in its investment division, which posted a net income of $8,809,000.
The reduction in net loss was largely attributable to the investment division's turnaround, which recorded an improvement of $15,356,000 compared to the prior year due to favorable equity markets and unrealized gains on financial assets. Conversely, the retail division's net loss widened to $10,797,000, a decline of $8,128,000, as higher fixed operating costs from the rollout of outsourced warehousing and distribution activities offset sales performance. The real estate division also improved, reducing its net loss by $3,440,000 to $277,000 following the completion of expansion projects.

Cash and investments, net of bank overdrafts, increased by $23,221,000 during the quarter, reaching a market value of $229,947,000.
