The Company completed a successful year, generating asset growth through
relatively strong performance and net asset flows. The assets under management
were $22.2 billion as at December 31, 2013, an increase of 18% from $18.8
billion as at December 31, 2012. Assets under administration were $11.6 billion
as at December 31, 2013, an increase of 17% from $9.9 billion as at December 31,
2012.
The Company's operating earnings for the year were $26.9 million, a 34% growth
from $20.1 million in 2012. All segments of the Company's operations contributed
to the overall growth in operating earnings.
Net gains for the year increased significantly, with approximately one-half of
the gains being from the sale of 160,000 of the Bank of Montreal shares. Net
gains (losses) on securities held for sale were lower during the year as the
bulk of these securities were reclassified to securities holdings during the
year, and subsequent changes in unrealized gains or losses were recorded in
other comprehensive income.
Net earnings available to shareholders for the year were $34.4 million, or $1.11
per share, a 53% growth compared to $22.6 million, or $0.71 per share, for 2012.
The increase in net earnings was due to a combination of strong operating
earnings growth and a significant increase in net gains, offset by lower net
gains (losses) on securities held for sale.
EBITDA available to shareholders for the year was $32.3 million, or $1.04 per
share, compared to $25.2 million, or $0.78 per share for 2012. Adjusted cash
flow from operations available to shareholders for the year was $27.6 million,
or $0.89 per share, compared to $21.3 million, or $0.66 per share for 2012.
These two non-IFRS financial measures used by the Company are defined in its
quarterly and annual Management's Discussion and Analysis. The increases in each
of these measures reflect the strong growth in operating earnings for the year.
The fair value of the Company's holdings of securities as at December 31, 2013
was $449.2 million, or $14.26 per share, compared to $380.0 million, or $11.99
per share, as at December 31, 2012. The Company's shareholders' equity as at
December 31, 2013 was $415.0 million, or $13.17 per share, compared to $353.8
million, or $11.16 per share, at December 31, 2012.
The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly eligible dividend of $0.055 per
share, payable on April 17, 2014, to shareholders of record on April 10, 2014.
