WINNIPEG, MB–(Marketwired – June 09, 2017) – Gendis Inc. (TSX: GDS) today announced its financial results for the 1st quarter ended April 30, 2017.
Net earnings for the 1st quarter were $3,935,000 ($0.31 per share) compared to net earnings of $1,136,000 ($0.09 per share) for the prior year 1st quarter. Revenue for the 1st quarter was $1,695,000 compared to $1,227,000 for the prior year 1st quarter. Revenue less expense for the 1st quarter was $489,000 compared to $255,000 for the prior year 1st quarter. The increase is primarily due to new tenancy in the Company’s Sony place Facility.
The volatility in net earnings quarter over quarter is primarily due to the change in fair value of security investments and investment properties with the attendant effect on deferred income taxes.
On May 1, 2017, Pembina Pipeline announced an offer to acquire Veresen. The closing date is expected to occur in the 3rd or 4th quarter of this year. It is anticipated that the transaction will settle on a pro-rata share and cash exchange basis, providing Gendis with approximately $9.6 million in cash and 0.6 million Pembina pipeline shares. These shares would have a fair value of approximately $28 million as at June 8, 2017. Pembina Pipeline owns and operates conventional, heavy oil and oil sands pipelines, natural gas gathering and processing facilities and other infrastructure assets. The transaction is subject to regulatory and shareholder approval.
