One Caribbean’s flat profit

April 29, 2015 by

OneCaribbeanMedia280x150One Caribbean Media out of Trinidad is reporting flat profit of $17 million, for the first quarter of this year, from a fall in revenues of $116.7 million compared with $121 million in 2014.
The results were helped by slightly lower administrative cost of $18.9 million versus $19.8 million in 2014 and a small decline in corporate taxes. The results translates to earnings per share of 24 cents. For 2014 the company had earnings of $1.23 per share. For 2015 earnings should remain at the 2014 level.
The company that publishes newspapers and operates TV and radio stations in Trinidad, has equity capital of $686 million with cash funds of $128 million and total liabilities of $145 million. One Caribbean is going to continue to face challenges for a while, with tightness and slow growth in Trinidad, made worse by the sharp fall off in the price of oil, one of the country’s main products.
The stock was once on the BUY RATED list but was removed after it appreciated fully in 2013. The stock last traded on the Trinidad and Tobago Exchange at $22.30, giving it a pretty rich PE of 18.
