Retailer Canadian Tire Corp Ltd missed third-quarter profit estimates on Thursday, hurt by higher e-commerce-related transportation costs and a drop in retail sales.

However, higher freight costs related to its SportsChek e-commerce business hurt net income, which fell to $227.7 million, or $3.20 per share in the third quarter ended Sept. 28, from $231.3 million, or $3.15 per share, a year earlier.
Revenue at the company’s retail segment fell marginally to $3.3 billion, while analysts on average were expecting it to be $3.43 billion, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.Total revenue rose marginally to $3.64 billion, but missed estimates of $3.73 billion, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.
