BROOKFIELD INVESTMENTS CORPORATION ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2014 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Brookfield Investments Corp. had a net loss of $6-million or 13 cents per common share for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2014, compared with income of $69-million or $1.38 per common share for the same period in 2013. The decrease in net income relative to the prior period was due to a large amount of disposition gains recorded in the prior-year quarter and the recognition of unfavourable foreign currency revaluation in the current quarter. Net income in the prior year included $52-million of disposition gains on the sale of two investments, whereas the current quarter included a $3-million realized disposition loss. In addition, the company recorded $16-million of unrealized foreign currency losses in the current quarter, due to negative foreign currency revaluation of non-U.S.-dollar investments. Net income on a nine-month basis was $110-million in the current year and $217-million in the prior year, or $2.20 and $4.35 per share, respectively.
Comprehensive income, which consists of net loss and other comprehensive income, was a loss of $42-million for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2014, compared with income of $21-million in the same period of 2013. Other comprehensive loss was $36-million during the quarter, compared with $48-million in the third quarter of 2013. The current period reflects unfavourable market performance of the company's investment portfolio relative to the prior year.
