Gendis Inc. Announces First Quarter Earnings


WINNIPEG, MB--(Marketwired - June 03, 2016) - Gendis Inc. (TSX: GDS) today announced its financial results for the 1st quarter ended April 30, 2016.

Net earnings for the 1st quarter were $1,136,000 ($0.09 per share) compared to net earnings of $1,938,000 ($0.15 per share) for the prior year 1st quarter. Revenue for the 1st quarter was $1,227,000 compared to $1,496,000 for the prior year 1st quarter. Revenue less expense for the 1st quarter was $255,000 compared to $392,000 for the prior year 1st quarter. The decline is primarily due to vacancy 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.
