George Weston Annual Report 2019 2019 Annual Report Report to Shareholders Fellow Shareholders, George Weston had a successful year in 2019, executing against its plan, delivering operational stability, and supporting each of its businesses in making steady progress against their strategic frameworks. Having completed our first full year of direct ownership in Choice Properties, we marked an important milestone in our transformation toward a more balanced portfolio with three strategic, complementary businesses in Retail, Real Estate and Consumer Goods. In Retail, Loblaw remains the market leader and is well-positioned to thrive amidst an evolving retail landscape. With more than 2,400 stores, and an offering of over 10,000 private label products including the top two consumer brands in the country, Loblaw is uniquely placed to serve its customers through the nation’s largest bricks and mortar store network and Canada’s most convenient online grocery service, PC Express. Additionally, a relentless focus on process and efficiencies has allowed Loblaw to continue to invest in its growth initiatives in E-Commerce, Healthcare, and Payments & Rewards, all while delivering earnings growth and generating more than $1.2 billion in free cash flow(1). In Real Estate, Choice Properties has refined its strategy following the successful merger with CREIT in 2018, and today represents Canada’s preeminent diversified REIT with 726 properties totaling 65.8 million square feet of retail, industrial, office, and residential assets, concentrated in Canada’s largest markets. With best in class occupancy rates of 97.7%, steady rent escalations and staggered lease maturities, Choice Properties benefits from a solid balance sheet that was further strengthened during 2019 following a $395 million equity issuance and $426 million of asset sales. Choice Properties is well-positioned for future growth as the business pursues a compelling development pipeline in Canada’s urban centres. 1 GEORGE WESTON LIMITED 2019 ANNUAL REPORT In Consumer Goods, Weston Foods has stabilized its business following an important period of transformation. Now making progress in key categories and increasing its We continue to build sales outside of Canada, Weston Foods remains an important part of our portfolio.

High basket penetration and steady consumption patterns and growing market- make the bakery sector an attractive industry for our company, and one where Weston leading businesses. Foods is poised to unlock additional earnings as it completes the transformation initiatives underway. By doing so, Weston Foods will reinforce its ambition of being a premier North American bakery. Together, each of these three businesses in George Weston’s portfolio supports our commitment to delivering long term value appreciation, maintaining a strong balance sheet and regularly returning capital to our shareholders. We will achieve this by investing in and growing market-leading businesses, while supporting strategic transactions that aim to create value across our group. The commitment and dedication of our employees was clear in 2019, and together we made great progress.

  • Loblaw Launches Online Marketplace
    - Advertisement - Loblaw launches online marketplace November 26, 2019 Loblaw Cos. Ltd. began extending the assortment and convenience of PC Express with an online marketplace, adding brands and products that Loblaw has not historically stocked. This will include additional items for baby, toy, home, kitchen and pet categories across several of its stores, including Real Canadian Superstore, Atlantic Superstore and Loblaws. "Millions of Canadians visit our stores and online shops weekly, looking for inspiration and convenient access to food, home and health products. Through this expanded PC Express offering, we will provide them with a curated, edited assortment of products that complement their current shop, from some exciting new vendors," said Garry Senecal, chief customer officer for Loblaw Cos. Ltd. "This is 1 / 2 another example of how we can offer even more to customers, simplifying their searching and shopping experience for many of their everyday needs." The national online assortment will reach beyond the current in-store selection with brands like Umbra and Lennox Furniture Inc. and will be the largest range of products available to Loblaw customers to date. In addition to earning PC Optimum points, products will be delivered direct to home, or available for in-store pickup. At launch, new third-party companies will be introduced in five expanded categories and new products will continue to roll out. "A curated marketplace is based on the idea that, as they shop with us, Canadians will welcome the chance to buy complementary products from complementary brands. For example, as new parents prepare for a baby with diapers and formula, they would probably find it very convenient to be able to order blankets, wash cloths or even a crib through us," said Hesham Fahmy, vice president of Loblaw Digital.
