WINNIPEG, MB–(Marketwired – December 02, 2016) – Gendis Inc. (TSX: GDS) today announced its financial results for the 3rd quarter ended October 31, 2016.

Revenue for the 3rd quarter was $1,198,000 compared to $1,269,000 for last year. Revenue less expense for the 3rd quarter was a loss of $107,000 compared to a profit of $544,000 for last year. Net earnings for the 3rd quarter were $1,188,000 ($0.09 per share) compared to a loss of $6,546,000 ($0.50 per share) for last year.

Revenue year-to-date was $3,741,000 compared to $4,144,000 year-to-date last year. Revenue less expense year-to-date was $528,000 compared to $1,089,000 year-to-date last year. Net earnings year-to-date were $9,015,000 ($0.70 per share) compared to net loss of $10,391,000 ($0.80 per share) year-to-date last year.

The volatility in net earnings quarter over quarter and year over year is primarily due to the change in fair value of investment in securities, primarily the Company’s investment in Veresen and investment properties with the attendant effect on deferred income taxes.
