AutoCanada: 2015 will be challenging as oil’s decline erodes buyers’ confidence
– canadianbusiness.com
EDMONTON – The country’s largest publicly traded car dealership, Edmonton-based AutoCanada Inc. (TSX:ACQ), says 2014 was a very good year but 2015 will be challenging because of the troubles besetting the oil and gas industry.
AutoCanada said its fourth-quarter revenue nearly doubled to $653.5 million from $319.7 million and its adjusted net earnings rose by 47.8 per cent to $13.3 million, or 54 cents per share.
For the full year ended Dec. 31, AutoCanada’s revenue was up 57.2 per cent or $805.7 million to $3.2 billion, while adjusted net earnings increased by $13.6 million or 35.8 per cent to $51.6 million.
However, AutoCanada said the latter half of December and first two months of 2015 have been challenging for the company, especially in Western Canada, due to the economic impact of lower oil and gas prices.
It says vehicle sales in early 2015 have been significantly lower than forecasts and margins have been narrower — not only because of lower consumer confidence in the West but also record snowfall in the Maritimes…

Spain’s Banco Sabadell sees its $2.6 billion cash offer for TSB bank accepted
– canadianbusiness.com
LONDON – TSB, Britain’s seventh largest bank, has accepted a 1.7 billion-pound ($2.6 billion) cash offer from Spain’s Banco Sabadell.
The bank was spun off as part of the 20-billion pound recovery plan to bail out Lloyds Banking Group from the 2008 financial crisis. Shareholders will receive 340 pence a share.
Lloyds said Friday it has agreed to sell its entire 50 per cent stake. The deal is conditional on regulatory approval.
Barcelona-based Sabadell said it was attracted by a U.K. banking market with “a well-defined and stable regulatory framework, consistent profitability and good future growth prospects.”
Investors who bought TSB at its offer price nine months ago at 260 pence received a 31 per cent premium.
