For the first nine months of 2012, consolidated revenue totalled $183.2 million, up by 15.6% over $158.4 million for the first nine months of 2011. The profit attributable to owners of the Company amounted to $9.5 million for total basic and diluted earnings per share of $1.45, of which $1.39 is attributable to Class A Common Shares and $1.53 is attributable to Class B Subordinate Voting Shares. If we exclude the impact of the aforementioned share of gain of $6.2 million, the Company shows an improvement of profit for the period of 18.7%.
Outlook
"Considering that activity in our environmental services segment is still very busy and our marine services segment continues to perform well despite the persisting weakness of the global economy, we are confident we will close 2012 on a positive note. Sanexen's development is largely focused on aqueduct rehabilitation and site remediation, while cargo handling's growth is based on the handling of growing biomass volumes and the development of mining resources in Northern Québec. We are also always on the lookout for business acquisition opportunities complementary to our operations, and it was moreover with this in mind that we acquired CrossGlobe Transport, Ltd. last August,” indicated Madeleine Paquin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Logistec Corporation.
