SNDL Inc (NASDAQ: SNDL) is in the process of restructuring its operations, announcing this morning that it will be reducing its staff by 106 full-time roles in an effort to cut costs. The cuts are said to both reduce corporate overhead and improve efficiency of its organizational structure.
The job cuts and restructuring efforts are expected to result in annualized savings of over $20 million, which will largely be the result of “optimized corporate overhead spending.” The restructuring however is expected to come at a one-time cost of $11 million.
Savings are expected to be realized by mid-2025, with changes beginning to be implemented under the plan as early as the third quarter of 2024.
