Dye & Durham (DND.TO) reported a swing to a third-quarter profit, the company said on Tuesday.
Dye & Durham reported a net profit of $66.0 million, or $0.98 per share, compared with a re-stated loss of $23.4 million, or $0.35 per share, in the prior year period. Analysts polled by FactSet had expected a profit of $0.10 per share.
The result was boosted by a gain of $81.5 million due to the disposal of Credas, and stock based compensation recovery of $29.5 million, as a result of the forfeitures of stock options by the company's former chief executive, a statement noted.
Revenue fell 12$ to $91.2 million, from a re-stated $103.4 million in the prior year period, missing the $94.4 million expected by analysts. The lower revenue was primarily driven by market downturn and the impact of lower volumes and pricing from customer losses affecting practice management and data insights platforms. It also reflected the divestiture of Credas Technologies.
The company did not pay any dividend during the quarter. Dye & Durham has elected to indefinitely suspend the payment of dividends until further notice.
Dye & Durham shares closed up $0.06, to $$3.00 on Friday on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
