PC Financial was a separate financial-services business; Loblaw’s more recent reporting classifies Retail as continuing operations and PC Financial as discontinued operations [P134771147].\n\nBased on the sum of Loblaw’s reported quarterly revenue for 2024, Food Retail generated approximately C$42.2 billion, or 69% of total company revenue, and Drug Retail approximately C$17.6 billion, or 29%. Together they accounted for about 98% of revenue; the roughly 2% balance was the difference between total-company and Retail revenue, attributable to PC Financial.
