MONTRÉAL, Dec. 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Transcontinental Inc. (TSX: TCL.A TCL.B) announces its results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2022, which ended October 30, 2022.

"Excluding the impact of the 53rd week and the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy on prior year's results, we posted solid growth in net earnings in the fourth quarter," said Peter Brues, President and Chief Executive Officer of TC Transcontinental. "In a challenging environment, our coworkers remained focused on making our clients successful and improving our performance.

"Building on the momentum of the previous quarters, our Packaging Sector recorded over 10% growth in adjusted operating earnings before depreciation and amortization on a comparable basis. With our investments in equipment and innovation, we are committed to continuing our profitable growth.

"In our Printing Sector, we are pleased to see continued growth in our in-store marketing, book printing, and premedia activities. However, inflationary pressures and their impact on our volume and cost structure had a negative effect on our results.

"In fiscal 2023, we will remain focused on improving profitability and cash flows from operating activities. Our solid financial position, with no major debt maturities until 2025, gives us the flexibility to pursue our disciplined approach to profitable growth."

Note 2: The above results include $3.7 million in Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy for the fourth quarter of 2021, and $29.5 million for the year ended October 31, 2021.

2022 Fourth Quarter Results

Revenues increased by $26.4 million, or 3.4%, from $775.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 to $802.2 million in the corresponding period of 2022. This increase is mainly attributable to the recent acquisitions, the impact of the transfer of the rise in raw materials prices and organic growth in the Printing Sector and, to a lesser extent, the favourable exchange rate effect. These factors were partially mitigated by the unfavourable impact of the 53rd week in the prior year.

Operating earnings before depreciation and amortization increased by $9.9 million, or 7.3%, from $135.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 to $145.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase in operating earnings before depreciation and amortization is mainly attributable to the recent acquisitions, the favourable effect of the change in restructuring costs and, to a lesser extent, the favourable exchange rate effect. These factors were partially mitigated by the impact of the 53rd week in the prior year, the end of the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy which the Corporation received in the prior year and, to a lesser extent, the impact of inflation on volume and the cost structure.

Adjusted operating earnings before depreciation and amortization decreased by $2.0 million, or 1.4%, from $143.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 to $141.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease in adjusted operating earnings before depreciation and amortization is mainly due to the impact of the 53rd week in the prior year, the end of the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy and, to a lesser extent, the impact of inflation on volume and the cost structure. These factors were partially offset by the recent acquisitions and the favourable exchange rate effect.

Net earnings attributable to shareholders of the Corporation increased by $21.2 million, from $39.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 to $60.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. This increase is mainly attributable to the previously explained rise in operating earnings before depreciation and amortization, lower financial expenses and lower income taxes. On a per share basis, net earnings attributable to shareholders of the Corporation went from $0.45 to $0.70, respectively.

Adjusted net earnings attributable to shareholders of the Corporation decreased by $2.2 million, or 3.1%, from $70.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 to $68.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. This decrease is due to the previously explained decline in adjusted operating earnings before depreciation and amortization. On a per share basis, adjusted net earnings attributable to shareholders of the Corporation went from $0.81 to $0.79, respectively.

Fiscal Year 2022 Results

Revenues increased by $312.7 million, or 11.8%, from $2,643.4 million in fiscal 2021 to $2,956.1 million in the corresponding period of 2022. This increase is mainly explained by the impact of the transfer of the rise in raw materials prices, the recent acquisitions in our three operating sectors as well as well as higher volume in the Packaging Sector and the Printing Sector. These factors were partially mitigated by the unfavourable impact of the 53rd week in the prior year.

Operating earnings before depreciation and amortization decreased by $2.2 million, or 0.5%, from $451.4 million in fiscal 2021 to $449.2 million in the corresponding period of 2022. Adjusted operating earnings before depreciation and amortization decreased by $18.1 million, or 3.9%, from $464.8 million in fiscal 2021 to $446.7 million in the corresponding period of 2022. The decline in operating earnings before depreciation and amortization and adjusted operating earnings before depreciation and amortization is mainly due to the negative impact of the pandemic on production capacity at several plants during the first months of fiscal 2022, due in particular to a labour shortage, the end of the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy which the Corporation received in the prior year and the impact of the 53rd week in the prior year. These factors were partially offset by the recent acquisitions and, to a lesser extent, the decrease in the stock-based compensation expense related to the share price. Lastly, the decrease in restructuring costs had a favorable impact on operating earnings before depreciation and amortization.

Net earnings attributable to shareholders of the Corporation increased by $10.6 million, or 8.1%, from $130.6 million in fiscal 2021 to $141.2 million in the corresponding period of 2022. This increase is mainly attributable to lower income taxes, partially mitigated by the decline in operating earnings. On a per share basis, net earnings attributable to shareholders of the Corporation went from $1.50 to $1.63, respectively, due to the above-mentioned items.

Adjusted net earnings attributable to shareholders of the Corporation decreased by $16.7 million, or 8.1%, from $206.4 million in fiscal 2021 to $189.7 million in the corresponding period of 2022, mostly as a result of the decline in adjusted operating earnings, partially offset by lower adjusted income taxes. On a per share basis, adjusted net earnings attributable to shareholders of the Corporation went from $2.37 to $2.19, respectively.

For more detailed financial information, please see the Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the fiscal year ended October 30, 2022 as well as the financial statements in the “Investors” section of our website at www.tc.tc.

Outlook

In the Packaging Sector, as a result of investing in new production equipment, signing new contracts and introducing new products to the market, we expect organic volume growth. In terms of profitability, we expect an increase in adjusted operating earnings before depreciation and amortization for fiscal year 2023 compared to fiscal year 2022. The economic conditions could however affect short-term demand.

In the Printing Sector, we expect revenue growth for fiscal year 2023 compared to fiscal year 2022 as a result of the growth in volume in our book printing and in-store marketing activities as well as the impact of the transfer of cost increases. This transfer should however have a negative impact on volume in some segments. This anticipated volume decrease, combined to the effect of inflationary pressures, should decrease adjusted operating earnings before depreciation and amortization for fiscal year 2023 compared to fiscal year 2022.

Finally, we expect to continue generating significant cash flows from operating activities, which will enable us to continue our strategic investments while reducing our net indebtedness.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

In this document, unless otherwise indicated, all financial data are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the term "dollar", as well as the symbol "$" designate Canadian dollars.

In addition, in this press release, we also use certain non-IFRS financial measures for which a complete definition is presented below and for which a reconciliation to financial information in accordance with IFRS is presented in the section entitled "Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures" and in Note 3, "Segmented Information", to the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 30, 2022.

Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures

The financial information has been prepared in accordance with IFRS. However, financial measures used, namely adjusted operating earnings before depreciation and amortization, adjusted operating earnings, adjusted income taxes, adjusted net earnings attributable to shareholders of the Corporation, adjusted net earnings attributable to shareholders of the Corporation per share, net indebtedness and net indebtedness ratio, for which a reconciliation is presented in the following table, do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and could be calculated differently by other companies. We believe that many of our readers analyze the financial performance of the Corporation’s activities based on these non-IFRS financial measures as such measures may allow for easier comparisons between periods. These measures should be considered as a complement to financial performance measures in accordance with IFRS. They do not substitute and are not superior to them.

The Corporation also believes that these measures are useful indicators of the performance of its operations and its ability to meet its financial obligations. Furthermore, management also uses some of these non-IFRS financial measures to assess the performance of its activities and managers.
