While I think it was a bad quarter, they did more maintenance capex this quarter than in Q1 and Q2. They also had $4M in costs issuing the new debentures which are non recurring costs. Excluding the costs related to the new debentures and with an averaged maintenance capex cost (total maintenance capex for Q1+Q2+Q3 / 3), the payout would have been 71%.
However, with two maintenance shutdowns scheduled in Q4, I don't expect improvements anytime soon.
I have been saying for at least a couple of years now that Chemtrade is in trouble financially. My basic argument was that Chemtrade overpaid for the Canexus acquisition! I also still believe that Mark's only reason for pulling the trigger on Canexus was so that he could justify receiving the $5 million Long Term Incentive Bonus!
