Aimia reports first-quarter loss of $16.3M; ups quarterly dividend 5.9%
– canadianbusiness.com
MONTREAL – Travel rewards company Aimia Inc. (TSX:AIM) is increasing its dividend almost six per cent despite swinging to a loss in the first quarter on revenue that was relatively flat year over year.
Aimia, which owns and operates the Aeroplan rewards program in Canada and operates or has stakes in other such programs around the world, reported after markets closed Tuesday that it had a net loss of $16.3 million or 13 cents per share in the quarter.
That was a reversal of its results a year ago when it posted a first-quarter profit of $45.7 million or 22 cents per share.
Total revenue for the three months ended March 31 slumped slightly to $608.9 million from $609.5 million in the same 2013 period.
Despite the net loss, Aimia reported higher gross billings and an increase in adjusted earnings and said it was increasing its quarterly dividend a penny, or 5.9 per cent, to 18 cents per share “in line with annual policy.”
Adjusted net earnings were 48 cents, up from 27 cents a year ago and well above analyst expectations of 34 cents, according to a survey by Thomson Reuters…
