Logistec announces its results for the third quarter of 2017

MONTRÉAL, Nov. 7, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - Logistec Corporation (TSX: LGT.A LGT.B), a marine and environmental services provider, today announced its financial results for the third quarter and first nine months ended September 30, 2017.

During the third quarter of 2017, consolidated revenue reached a record level for a third quarter, totalling $168.3 million, an increase of $65.2 million or 63.3% compared with the same period in 2016. The increase in revenue stems from both the marine and environmental services segments. Revenue from the marine services segment was up by $10.8 million or 25.3% to $53.7 million, while revenue from the environmental services segment totalled $114.6 million, up by $54.4 million or 90.3% compared with the third quarter of 2016. The increase in revenue in the marine services segment stems primarily from bulk activity, while break-bulk cargo volumes also increased, to a lesser degree. The high revenue increase in the environmental services segment is mainly due to our investment in FER-PAL Construction Ltd., as FER-PAL generated sales of $46.5 million in the third quarter. The increase is also attributable to higher levels of activity in Aqua-Pipe.

The third quarter of 2017 closed with a consolidated profit attributable to owners of the Company of $11.0 million, compared with a profit of $9.2 million for the third quarter of 2016. The profit attributable to owners of the Company translated into total diluted earnings per share of $0.83, of which $0.80 was attributable to Class A Common Shares and $0.88 was attributable to Class B Subordinate Voting Shares.

During the first nine months of 2017, consolidated revenue totalled $330.2 million, an increase of $82.7 million compared with $247.6 million for the same period in 2016. The profit attributable to owners of the Company amounted to $14.2 million, higher than last year's profit of $10.0 million. This translated into total diluted earnings per share of $1.10, of which $1.05 was attributable to
Class A Common Shares and $1.16 was attributable to Class B Subordinate Voting Shares. For the same period in 2016, total diluted earnings per share totalled $0.78, of which $0.73 was attributable to Class A Common Shares and $0.82 was attributable to Class B Subordinate Voting Shares.

Outlook

"The outlook for the year is promising. In our environmental business, our latest investment in FER-PAL is performing well and we have a solid book of business to end the working season. Furthermore, our growing cargo-handling business is strategically positioned to benefit from increasing trade flowing through our North American ports. More importantly, we are optimistic about the future of both our marine and environmental services segments. The solid performance of the third quarter and the diversity of our network and services bode well for continued development. We continue to seek geographic growth, both organically and through acquisitions, and are investing in our talent and technologies to grow our customer base in both segments," indicated Madeleine Paquin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Logistec Corporation.
