CALGARY, Alberta, April 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inventronics Limited (“Inventronics” or the “Corporation”) (IVX:TSX Venture), a designer and manufacturer of enclosures for the telecommunications, electric transmission, cable television and other industries in North America, today announced its unaudited 2023 Q1 financial results.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, Inventronics reported net earnings of $325,000, or 6.7 cents per share, on revenue of $3,335,000 compared to net earnings of $501,000, or 10.4 cents per share, on revenue of $3,787,000 for the same period of 2022. The inventory build-up by customers that occurred in the first quarter of 2022 moderated in early 2023 as they align their inventories to the availability of installers. The demand for internet bandwidth and changing communication technologies remains strong and the Corporation’s enclosure customers are shifting to a more sustainable long-term pace of installations across Canada and the USA.
