National Enterprises (NEL), a holding company for a series of investments in other major enterprises formerly controlled directly by the Trinidad government, recorded a profit of $490 million for the year ended March 2015, compared to $181 million in the previous year, an increase of 171 percent with earnings per share of 80 cents, compared to 32 cents for the prior year.
“Your Board’s strategic decisions to pursue a diversification strategy by seeking new investments and strengthening management has also started to produce results” Kenny Lue Chee Lip, Chairman of the company stated in a release to the Trinidad & Tobago Stock Exchange recently.
Trinidad Telecom produced higher results of $85 million, up from a loss of $226 million and Trinidad Nitrogen Company $157 million versus $192 million in 2014 and $29 million. National Flour Mills in which NEL owns 51 percent also reported improved earnings, this company is listed on the Trinidad Stock Exchange.
NEL expects dividend income of $318 million compared to $305 million in 2014. NEL received the first full year earnings from its investment in a 10 percent shareholding in Powergen yielding $11.5 million in dividends, as well as dividends from the investments in First Citizens Bank and Clico Investment Fund. An investment in November, 2014 in Pan West Engineers LLC (the owner of 10 percent of Phoenix Park Gas Processors Limited) as a member of a consortium produced dividends of $9.8 million.
A final dividend of 27 cents is proposed which when added to the interim dividend of 23 cents gives a total dividend of 50 cents for the year (2014: 46 cents).
The value of each of the 600 million issued shares is $5.67 each and the stock last traded on the Trinidad and Tobago Stock Exchange at TT$17.21.
