Result Drivers

  • IMPROVED PROFITABILITY - Higher operating and adjusted EBITDA margins resulted from improved profitability across the contract portfolio and a $12 mln gain from the sale of an investment, as well as lower selling, general and administrative expenses

  • WORKING CAPITAL CHANGES - Improved cash flow was mainly due to timing of vendor payments, lower incentive-based compensation payments, and other changes in working capital
