WINNIPEG, MANITOBA--(Marketwire - April 13, 2009) - Gendis Inc. (TSX:GDS - News) today announced its financial results for the 4th quarter ended January 31, 2009.
Revenue for the quarter was $0.4-million compared to $0.9-million last year. The decrease in revenue quarter over quarter is primarily due to $0.8-million of reduced share of earnings of Fort Chicago offset by $0.2-million from increased tenancy in the Sony Place Facility.
The net loss for the 4th quarter was $0.7-million ($0.05 per share) compared to a net loss of $0.3-million ($0.02 per share) last year. The increase in the loss quarter over quarter is primarily due to a reduction in future tax recoveries of $1.5-million from the change in the valuation allowance, a decrease in revenue of $0.5-million, offset by the change in realized losses net of fair value changes of investments of $1.5-million.
Revenue for the year was $3.3-million compared to $3.2-million last year. The increase in revenue year over year is primarily due to $0.5-million from increased tenancy in the Sony Place Facility, $0.2-million of reduced share of loss of Thunder Energy offset by $0.5-million of reduced share of earnings of Fort Chicago.
The net loss for the year was $7.2-million ($0.51 per share) compared to a net loss of $5.1-million ($0.35 per share) last year. The increase in the loss year over year is primarily due to realized losses net of fair value changes of investments of $2.3-million, a reduction in future tax recoveries of $1.5-million from the change in the valuation allowance, the initial recognition of a post employment benefit obligation of $0.7 million offset by the non recurrence of the loss on sale of a note receivable of $2.2 million in 2008.
