Sobeys’ parent company says the cybersecurity breach, that temporarily shut down pharmacy operations and led to reduced sales, cost the grocery retailer $54 million in profit in its most recent quarter, net of insurance recoveries.
Empire Co. (EMP-A.TO), the second largest grocery chain owner in Canada that operates Sobeys, Freshco, IGA, Farm Boy and Safeway, said on Thursday that it also expects November’s cybersecurity event to result in a $32 million hit to net earnings over fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2024, more than previously expected. The company said in December that it anticipated the breach would result in a $25 million hit to net earnings.
