MONTRÉAL, March 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Transcontinental Inc. (TSX: TCL.A TCL.B) announces its results for the first quarter of fiscal 2022, which ended January 30, 2022.
"While I am proud of the way we worked with our customers to ensure a continuity of supply and of the actions we took to protect our coworkers health and safety, the financial results of the quarter did not meet our expectations," said Peter Brues, President and Chief Executive Officer of TC Transcontinental. "The spread of the Omicron variant caused significant operational disruptions that hampered our ability to efficiently manage our business and, combined with inflationary pressures, had an adverse impact on our profitability.
"In our Packaging Sector, our financial performance was negatively affected by operational inefficiencies caused by Omicron, and by delays in passing through cost increases to our customers. Despite the strong demand for our products and services, our revenue growth was limited by reduced labour availability, leading to a significant increase in backlog.
"Our Printing Sector produced strong organic growth in revenues and solid profitability, despite the challenges of the pandemic. Higher revenues were noteworthy in the Sector’s growth activities, namely in-store marketing, book printing and premedia. The Media Sector contributed another solid quarter with higher revenues and profitability.
"Despite a challenging quarter, our financial performance will improve with the actions we have taken, and with the lessening impact of COVID-19. Through the strength of our development of sustainable packaging, strong customer relationships, ability to generate solid cash flow and strong financial position, we are well placed to take advantage of growth opportunities and achieve our full potential."

2022 First Quarter Results
Revenues increased by $67.9 million, or 10.9%, from $622.7 million in the first quarter of 2021 to $690.6 million in the corresponding period of 2022. This increase is mainly attributable to the impact of the rise in the price of resin and the acquisition of H.S. Crocker Company, Inc. on the results of the Packaging Sector, and to the acquisition of BGI Retail Inc. in the Printing Sector. A slight increase in volume in the three sectors also contributed to the growth in revenues. These items were partially offset by the negative impact of the exchange rate variation.
Operating earnings before depreciation and amortization decreased by $12.6 million, or 12.2%, from $103.3 million in the first quarter of 2021 to $90.7 million in the first quarter of 2022. Adjusted operating earnings before depreciation and amortization decreased by $19.1 million, or 17.7%, from $108.1 million in the first quarter of 2021 to $89.0 million in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease is mainly due to the end of the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy which the Corporation received in the previous year, as well as to the negative impact of the pandemic on our operations, and the increase in costs due to inflationary pressures. The decline in operating earnings before depreciation and amortization was partially offset by the decrease in restructuring and other costs.
Net earnings attributable to shareholders of the Corporation decreased by $9.3 million, from $27.7 million in the first quarter of 2021 to $18.4 million in the first quarter of 2022. This decline is mainly due to lower operating earnings, partially offset by the decrease in income taxes and financial expenses. On a per share basis, net earnings attributable to shareholders of the Corporation went from $0.32 in the first quarter of 2021 to $0.21 for the same period in 2022.
Adjusted net earnings attributable to shareholders of the Corporation decreased by $13.8 million, or 31.5%, from $43.8 million in the first quarter of 2021 to $30.0 million in the first quarter of 2022. This decrease is due to lower adjusted operating earnings. On a per share basis, adjusted net earnings attributable to shareholders of the Corporation went from $0.50 to $0.35.
Outlook
In the Packaging Sector, as a result of signing new contracts, introducing new products to the market and investing in new production equipment, we expect organic volume growth in fiscal year 2022 compared to fiscal 2021, excluding the impact of the 53rd week on the results for fiscal year 2021. In addition, we continue to expect an increase in adjusted operating earnings before depreciation and amortization for fiscal year 2022 compared to the prior fiscal year.
In the Printing Sector, we expect a continued recovery in printing volume. This anticipated recovery, combined with growth in our in-store marketing activities and other growth activities, gives us confidence in the outlook for revenue growth for fiscal year 2022, excluding the impact of the 53rd week on the results for fiscal year 2021. In addition, excluding amounts related to the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy and the impact of the 53rd week on the results for fiscal year 2021, we expect an increase in adjusted operating earnings before depreciation and amortization for fiscal year 2022 compared to fiscal year 2021.
Finally, we expect to continue generating significant cash flows from operating activities. These cash flows are expected to enable us to reduce our net indebtedness, while providing us with the flexibility needed to pursue our investments focused on organic growth as well as strategic and targeted acquisitions.
Non-IFRS Financial Measures
In this document, unless otherwise indicated, all financial data are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the term "dollar", as well as the symbol "$" designate Canadian dollars.
In addition, in this press release, we also use 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 unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the first quarter ended January 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 operating earnings margin, 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.
