Net Earnings Up for the Year
The net income for the year was $0.5 million, an improvement of
$3.2 million compared to the $2.7 million loss in the prior year. An
increase in sales and the resulting margin was the main contributor to the improvement, offset by lower gains on the sale of
surplus assets, increased spending on research and development, interest expense and a loss on foreign exchange.
Looking Forward
Sales for 2018 are expected to increase over 2017 results. Demand for agricultural equipment in
the United States is slowly increasing as farmers adjust to depressed commodity prices. Canadian
sales are expected to remain steady and profit margins overall are expected to improve.
