Sachin Verma's questions to Savers Value Village Inc (SVV) leadership • Q3 2024
Question
Sachin Verma, on behalf of Michael Lasser, asked what actions beyond the near-term strategies in Canada are needed to bridge the gap to the company's long-term growth algorithm and how processing levels will be stabilized.
Answer
CFO Michael Maher identified accelerating new store growth as the primary strategic lever to achieve the long-term outlook, complemented by improvements in Canada's comp performance. Executive Jubran Tanious added that processing levels will be stabilized by matching them to transaction volumes and making future adjustments more gradually, keeping production within a narrow band to avoid the sharp swings that negatively impacted recent performance.
