Third Quarter 2024 Consolidated Operating
Highlights
Operating revenue decreased 1.9% to $66,383,000
for the three month period ended September 30, 2024 from
$67,635,000 in 2023 due to the decline in real estate revenue from
one Highland Gate home sales compared to two in 2023. The Canadian
golf club operations segment has seen a decrease in food and
beverage revenue, but this has been offset by an increase in annual
dues and golf revenue.
Direct operating expenses decreased 2.5% to
$46,099,000 for the three month period ended September 30,
2024 from $47,264,000 in 2023 due to the decline in real estate
cost of sales from less home sales in the third quarter of 2024.
The Canadian golf club operations segment has seen an increase in
maintenance and labour expenses, but these have been offset by
decreases in other operating costs.
Net operating income for the Canadian golf club
operations segment increased to $21,304,000 for the three month
period ended September 30, 2024 from $21,173,000 in 2023.
Interest, net and investment income increased to
income of $2,737,000 for the three month period ended
September 30, 2024 from $2,327,000 in 2023 due to higher cash
balances and the income earned on these balances.

At September 30, 2024, the Company recorded
unrealized gains of $24,839,000 on its investment in marketable
securities (September 30, 2023 - losses of $9,859,000). This
gain is attributable to the fair market value adjustments of the
Company's investment in Automotive Properties REIT.
On July 3, 2024, the Company announced the
closing of the sale of the former Woodlands Golf Club to a joint
venture managed by 13th Floor Homes. TWC is a 50% partner in the
joint venture along with 13th Floor Homes. A gain of $7,788,000
(US$5,711,000) was recorded as a result of the sale and represents
one-half of the total gain due to the sale to a joint venture owned
50% by the Company. This represents the majority of the total gain
on property, plant and equipment recorded at September 30,
2024.
Net earnings in the amount of $42,719,000 for
the three month period ended September 30, 2024 changed from
$17,690,000 in 2023 due to the change in unrealized gain on the
Company’s investment in Automotive Properties REIT as compared to
2023. Basic and diluted earnings per share increased to $1.75 per
share in 2024, compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of
$0.72 cents in 2023.
Non-IFRS
Measures
TWC uses non-IFRS measures as a benchmark
measurement of our own operating results and as a benchmark
relative to our competitors. We consider these non-IFRS measures to
be a meaningful supplement to net earnings. We also believe these
non-IFRS measures are commonly used by securities analysts,
investors and other interested parties to evaluate our financial
performance. These measures, which included direct operating
expenses and net operating income do not have standardized meaning
under IFRS. While these non-IFRS measures have been disclosed
herein to permit a more complete comparative analysis of the
Company’s operating performance and debt servicing ability relative
to other companies, readers are cautioned that these non-IFRS
measures as reported by TWC may not be comparable in all instances
to non-IFRS measures as reported by other companies.
The glossary of financial terms is as
follows:
Direct
operating
expenses
= expenses that are directly attributable to company’s business
units and are used by management in the assessment of their
performance. These exclude expenses which are attributable to major
corporate decisions such as impairment.
Net
operating
income = operating revenue –
direct operating expenses
Net operating income is an important metric used
by management in evaluating the Company’s operating performance as
it represents the revenue and expense items that can be directly
attributable to the specific business unit’s ongoing operations. It
is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS and should not
be considered as an alternative to measures of performance under
IFRS. The most directly comparable measure specified under IFRS is
net earnings.

Today, TWC Enterprises Limited announced an
eligible cash dividend of 7.5 cents per common share to be paid on
December 16, 2024 to shareholders of record as at December 2,
