Highlights
- Revenues decreased 3.8%, primarily due to the soft advertising
market.
- Adjusted net earnings applicable to participating shares grew
12.9%, from $32.6 million to $36.8 million. On a per share basis,
they rose from $0.42 to $0.47.
- Completed the acquisition of the assets of Capri Packaging, a
producer of flexible packaging.
- Completed the acquisition of the weekly newspapers owned by Sun
Media Corporation in Quebec and their related Web properties. Under
the terms of the agreement with the Competition Bureau, the
Corporation must put some weekly newspapers up for sale.
- Closed a private financing agreement of $250 million in senior
unsecured notes.
- Signed a multi-year agreement with Postmedia Network Inc. to
print The Gazette newspaper.
Transcontinental
Inc.'s (TSX:TCL.A)(TSX:TCL.B)(TSX:TCL.PR.D) revenues decreased by
3.8% in the second quarter, from $517.8 million to $498.2 million,
primarily due to the soft advertising market, which continues to
influence our marketing products printing as well as our newspaper
and magazine publishing operations. This decrease was partially
offset by the sustained performance of our flyer printing
operations and by new contracts in both operating sectors.
Adjusted operating
earnings rose from $54.2 million to $58.5 million. This performance
is due to the company-wide optimization of our cost structure and
our highly efficient printing platform. It was partially offset by
the soft advertising market as mentioned above. Net earnings
applicable to participating shares increased from $25.3 million, or
$0.32 per share, to $34.7 million, or $0.45 per share. This
improvement is due to lower restructuring and other costs, an
increase in adjusted operating earnings and lower financial
expenses, partially offset by an increase in income taxes. Adjusted
net earnings applicable to participating shares grew 12.9%, from
$32.6 million, or $0.42 per share, to $36.8 million, or $0.47 per
share.
"We are proud to
have completed two major transactions that position TC
Transcontinental strategically for the future. With the acquisition
of the Capri Packaging assets, we have taken a first step into the
flexible packaging market, which is a new promising growth area for
the Corporation. In addition, the acquisition of the Sun Media
weekly newspapers in Quebec strengthens our assets in this market,
while ensuring our ability to evolve our local solutions offering
in Quebec. Furthermore, our second quarter results were
satisfactory. Despite the pressure we are experiencing in the
advertising market, the increase in our profitability demonstrates
the effectiveness of our strategy, namely strengthening existing
assets and developing new revenue sources," said François Olivier,
President and Chief Executive Officer.
"For coming
quarters, our excellent financial position combined with our
ability to generate significant cash flows gives us the flexibility
we need to integrate our recent acquisitions, continue our
transformation and invest in the future of the Corporation," Mr.
Olivier added.
Supplementary
Information
- On April 10, 2014, the Corporation announced the renewal of its
normal course issuer bid from April 15, 2014 to April 14,
2015.
- On May 3, 2014, the Corporation completed the acquisition of
the assets of Capri Packaging, a producer of flexible packaging,
operating two facilities located in Clinton, Missouri. The
acquisition will add about US$72 million to TC Transcontinental's
revenues. As part of the transaction, the seller, Schreiber Foods,
Inc. has signed a 10-year agreement to secure Capri Packaging as a
strategic supplier of flexible packaging, which represents about
75% of Capri's total revenues.
- On May 5, 2014, TC Transcontinental Printing signed a
multi-year agreement with Postmedia Network Inc. to print The
Gazette, published primarily for the Montreal market. This
agreement builds on our recent announcement to print the
Vancouver Sun and the Calgary Herald. The
contract with Postmedia Network will take effect in August
2014.
- On May 8, 2014, the Corporation completed a private financing
agreement for an amount of $250 million of 3.897% senior unsecured
notes due in 2019. Transcontinental Inc. intends to use the net
proceeds to repay outstanding indebtedness under its revolving
credit facility and for general corporate purposes.
- On June 1, 2014, Transcontinental Inc. completed the
acquisition of the weekly newspapers owned by Sun Media Corporation
in Quebec and their related Web properties. Under the terms of the
agreement with the Competition Bureau, the Corporation must put
some weekly newspapers up for sale. Despite this requirement, the
transaction will add about $20 million to the operating earnings
before amortization of Transcontinental Inc. and further advance
the local multiplatform offering for businesses and
communities.
Highlights of the
First Half
In the first half of
2014, TC Transcontinental's revenues decreased 4.4%, from $1,043.4
million to $997.5 million. This decrease stems primarily from the
soft advertising market in our two operating sectors. Adjusted
operating earnings grew 4.4%, from $97.7 million to $102.0 million,
due to the optimization of our cost structure. This increase was
partially offset by the factors mentioned above. Net earnings
applicable to participating shares rose from $41.0 million, or
$0.52 per share, to $51.9 million, or $0.67 per share. This
improvement is due to lower financial expenses, a decrease in
restructuring and other costs, as well as an increase in adjusted
operating earnings, partially offset by an increase in income
taxes. Excluding unusual items, adjusted net earnings applicable to
participating shares grew 7.1%, from $59.0 million, or $0.76 per
share, to $63.2 million, or $0.81 per share.

financial information, please see Management's Discussion and
Analysis for the second quarter ended April 30th,
2014 as well as the financial statements in the "Investors"
section of our website at www.tc.tc
Outlook
New agreements to
print magazines, newspapers and marketing products signed since the
start of the fiscal year will reduce the impact of difficult market
conditions in these niches. We believe that our printing offering
to major retail chains will remain relatively stable and we are
continuing to improve our point-of-purchase marketing services. The
Printing Sector will also continue to optimize its cost structure
and operations in order to maintain its longer-term
profitability.
The Media Sector
should continue to benefit from cost-structure optimization
initiatives and the new flyer-distribution agreements that will
help stabilize our operating margin and reduce the impact of
difficult conditions in the advertising market. We will also
continue to invest in the development and commercialization of new
digital products. The acquisition of the Sun Media Corporation
weekly papers in Quebec should also enable us to strengthen our
media assets and improve our offering in local markets.
The Corporation
completed the transaction to acquire the assets of Capri Packaging
in order to start a new growth vector in flexible packaging. We
have initiated the operational integration process, modifying our
organizational structure and creating a packaging division headed
by a team of senior executives with outstanding capabilities in
manufacturing. The long-term agreement with the seller, Schreiber
Foods, Inc., will secure most of the revenues for this division. In
the coming months we will be implementing a plan to build the
loyalty of our existing customers and attract new ones to ensure
our success in this promising niche.
We have secured
additional long-term financing to give us the financial flexibility
required to pursue our transformation and execute our growth
strategy. Given our excellent financial position, we will continue
our balanced approach to capital management, which allows us to
reduce our debt, pay dividends and invest in our transformation
focused on our core competencies. We will also keep on developing
internal projects and evaluating strategic acquisitions to maintain
our position in our niches, while developing our new packaging
growth vector to ensure the long-term success and profitability of
the business.
Reconciliation of
Non-IFRS Financial Measures
Financial data have
been prepared in conformity with IFRS. However, certain measures
used in this press release do not have any standardized meaning
under IFRS and could be calculated differently by other companies.
We believe that many readers analyze our results based on certain
non-IFRS financial measures because such measures are more
appropriate for evaluating the Corporation's operating performance.
Internally, management uses such non-IFRS financial information as
an indicator of business performance, and evaluates management's
effectiveness with specific reference to these indicators. These
measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute
for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in
accordance with IFRS.
The following table
reconciles IFRS financial measures to non-IFRS financial
measures.
