Transcontinental Reports Q3 Results

http://www.piworld.com/article/transcontinentals-adjusted-operating-income-increases-for-4th-consecutive-quarter/1
Transcontinental's third-quarter revenues decreased from $517.0 million in 2012 to $493.8 million in 2013, mainly due to the end of the contract to print and distribute Zellers flyers after its store closures. Other factors were the change in the format and type of paper used by some of its major customers, difficult market conditions affecting its magazine, book and catalogue printing business, and a soft advertising market which continued to impact its Media Sector, particularly with respect to local markets. The decrease was partially offset by new printing contracts, higher volume in educational book publishing and the acquisitions of Modulo and Redux Media, among others.
