"We are pleased with the fundamentals of our business as we have navigated the impact of the COVID-19 Closures. Given these closures, we expected a negative impact in the second quarter, however the implementation of aggressive cost-savings measures and the strong demand in our online business, which more than doubled on a pro forma basis versus last year's second quarter, helped to compensate for the retail closures and we were able to achieve EBITDA profitability during the quarter," said Lorne Weil, Executive Chairman of Inspired.
