Transcontinental Inc. (TSX: TCL.A TCL.B) announces its results for the second quarter of fiscal 2023, which ended April 30, 2023.

“Despite lower volume, the second quarter results are solid, with adjusted operating earnings before depreciation and amortization growing by 5.2%, said Thomas Morin, President and Chief Executive Officer of TC Transcontinental.

“In our Packaging Sector, we posted the highest quarterly adjusted operating earnings before depreciation and amortization since the Corporation entered this business segment in 2014. The profit improvement results mainly from increases in prices to mitigate the impact of inflation, cost reduction initiatives and the favourable exchange rate effect, partially offset by pressures on volume. Our investments in sustainable packaging solutions position us well for the future and should be a key driver of our long-term growth.

“As for our Printing Sector, necessary measures were taken to adjust our cost structure and prices were increased to mitigate the cost increases due to inflation. The actions allowed us to partially offset the effect of lower volume in the retail flyer printing and distribution activities. In addition, our in-store marketing activities grew in revenues and profits during the quarter. Lastly, we should highlight the launch in Montreal of raddar™, our reinvented flyer.”

“Our financial position is solid and we expect to generate significant cash flows in the second half of fiscal 2023, which will enable us to reduce our net indebtedness, ” said Donald LeCavalier, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of TC Transcontinental.

Worzalla Lends Support to Portage County Public Library’s Summer Reading Programs

Worzalla, an employee-owned printing company specializing in high-quality children’s books, cookbooks, and hard-cover best sellers, is working with the Portage County Library to support their summer reading programs with the goal of inspiring the community to reach their summer reading goals. Worzalla has donated 500 children's books for the Library to use as summer reading rewards and is also donating 500 bags that the Library will use for their Lit Loot program. “We love to get children and teens reading, learning, and participating at the library each summer, and then reward their hard work with prize books, but incentives like these are quite costly.

TC Transcontinental Sells its Industrial Packaging Operations to Hood Packaging Corporation

TC Transcontinental announces the sale of its industrial packaging operations to Hood Packaging Corporation for a price of US$95 million (about C$132 million1) subject to working capital adjustments. These operations generated approximately US$50 million (about C$68 million2) in revenues during the last twelve months ended July 28, 2024. The Corporation anticipates using the net proceeds to continue reducing net debt in line with its business priorities. This will increase its flexibility in capital allocation, including targeted acquisitions in growth segments. “Industrial packaging is a solid business. However, after operating it for several years, we concluded that it offers few synergies with the rest of our portfolio, and is not core to our Packaging Sector’s growth strategy,” said Thomas Morin, President and Chief Executive Officer of TC Transcontinental. “We are pleased for our employees that Hood Packaging, a family-controlled company like TC Transcontinental whose industrial packaging business is core to their activities, is the buyer.” Hood Packaging is acquiring TC Transcontinental’s Thomasville, North Carolina, packaging operations and building, and 138 employees are being transferred. Hood Packaging is also acquiring the industrial packaging business of TC Transcontinental’s Ontario, California plant, which represents approximately 15% of this plant’s revenues. Roop Nangia, Senior Vice President, Consumer & Beverage, TC Transcontinental Packaging, added: “We sincerely thank all of our talented employees for their contribution, commitment and performance.”
