The loss amounted to $1.78 per diluted share for the 52-week period ended April 1 compared with a profit of $3.3 million or 12 cents per diluted share in the same period a year earlier.“Like the broader retail market, Indigo continues to feel the impacts of the macroeconomic environment on consumer behaviour and costs, which compounded the headwinds from the ransomware attack,” CEO Peter Ruis said Wednesday during a call with analysts. “People are being more cautious.
