Finning International 4Q Profit Falls on Impact From Argentina Business
By Ben Glickman
Finning International's fourth-quarter profit fell as the company saw a steep impact from foreign currency impact in Argentina.
The Canadian dealer for Caterpillar products on Tuesday posted a profit of 85 million Canadian dollars ($63 million), or 59 Canadian cents a share, in the quarter ended Dec. 31, compared with C$136 million, or C$0.89 a share, a year earlier.
Stripping out certain one-time items, such as foreign currency effects, the company posted a profit of C$0.96 a share. Analysts polled by FactSet expected adjusted per-share earnings of C$0.97.
Revenue was roughly flat compared to a year earlier at C$2.66 billion.
Finning said its per-share earnings included a C$0.37 charge related to foreign exchange loss in Argentina.
The company's results in Canada were also affected by delayed starts to many winter programs and the completion of multiple major projects.
