MONTRÉAL, July 14, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ – Today, Cogeco Communications Inc. (TSX:CCA) (“Cogeco Communications” or the “Corporation”) announced its financial results for the third quarter ended May 31, 2021, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).
OPERATING RESULTS
For the third quarter of fiscal 2021:
Revenue increased by 3.1% to reach $624.3 million. On a constant currency basis, revenue increased by 8.8%, mainly explained as follows:
Canadian broadband services revenue increased by 10.2% as a result of the DERYtelecom acquisition completed on December 14, 2020, the cumulative effect of sustained demand for residential high-speed Internet since the beginning of the pandemic and rate increases implemented for certain services, partly offset by a retroactive adjustment of $4.6 million recognized following the CRTC’s decision on aggregated wholesale Internet rates during the third quarter of fiscal 2021 and a decline in video and telephony service customers as some customers have migrated to Internet-only services. Excluding the acquisition of DERYtelecom and the impact of the $4.6 million adjustment mentioned above, revenue in constant currency increased by 3.0%.
