WINNIPEG, MANITOBA--(Marketwired - Apr 11, 2014) - Gendis Inc. (TSX:GDS) today announced its financial results for the 4th quarter and fiscal year ended January 31, 2014.

Revenue for the 4th quarter was $1,513,000 compared to $1,416,000 for last year's 4th quarter. Revenue less expense for the 4th quarter was $807,000 compared to $557,000 for last year's 4th quarter. Net earnings for the 4th quarter were $5,640,000 ($0.41 per share) compared to earnings of $4,082,000 ($0.30 per share) for last year's 4th quarter.

Revenue for the year was $6,072,000 compared to $5,887,000 last year. Revenue less expense for the year was $2,845,000 compared to $2,275,000 last year. Net earnings for the year was $5,092,000 ($0.37 per share) compared to a net loss of $4,218,000 ($0.30 per share) for last year.

The volatility in net earnings quarter over quarter and for the year over year is primarily due to the change in fair value of equity investments and investment properties with the attendant effect on deferred income taxes. Also, the 2nd quarter last year included the settlement with our insurer on legal claims in a prior year.
