    First Quarter 2024 Consolidated Operating Highlights

    Operating revenue increased 146.5% to $65,346,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 from $26,510,000 in 2023 due to the revenue from 21 Highland Gate home sales (2023 - nil).

    Direct operating expenses increased 188.0% to $60,890,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 from $21,139,000 in 2023 due to the cost of sales from 21 Highland Gate home sales (2023 - nil), as well as higher merchandise cost of sales from off season merchandise sales.

    Net operating income for the Canadian golf club operations segment increased to $3,554,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 from $2,852,000 in 2023 due to higher annual dues revenue and the timing of certain expenses.

    Interest, net and investment income increased to income of $2,785,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 from $2,080,000 in 2023 due to a decrease in borrowings.

    Other items consist of the following income (loss) items:

        For the three months ended
    (thousands of Canadian dollars)   March 31, 2024 March 31, 2023
           
    Foreign exchange gain (loss)   $ (167 ) $ 78  
    Unrealized loss on investment in marketable securities     (4,551 )   (13,558 )
    Demolition of Woodlands clubhouse     (308 )   -  
    Equity loss from investments in joint ventures     -     (480 )
    Other     425     212  
           
    Other items   $ (4,601 ) $ (13,748 )
           


    At March 31, 2024, the Company recorded unrealized losses of $4,551,000 on its investment in marketable securities (March 31, 2023 - $13,558,000). This loss is attributable to the fair market value adjustments of the Company's investment in Automotive Properties REIT.

    The exchange rate used for translating US denominated amounts has changed from 1.3226 at December 31, 2023 to 1.3550 at March 31, 2024. This has resulted in a foreign exchange loss of $167,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 on the translation of the Company’s US denominated financial instruments.

    Net loss in the amount of $701,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 changed from $8,051,000 in 2023 due to the large unrealized loss on the Company’s investment in Automotive Properties REIT recorded in 2023. Basic and diluted loss per share decreased to $0.03 per share in 2024, compared to basic and diluted loss per share of $0.33 cents in 2023.

    Non-IFRS Measures

    TWC uses non-IFRS measures as a benchmark measurement of our own operating results and as a benchmark relative to our competitors. We consider these non-IFRS measures to be a meaningful supplement to net earnings. We also believe these non-IFRS measures are commonly used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate our financial performance. These measures, which included direct operating expenses and net operating income do not have standardized meaning under IFRS. While these non-IFRS measures have been disclosed herein to permit a more complete comparative analysis of the Company’s operating performance and debt servicing ability relative to other companies, readers are cautioned that these non-IFRS measures as reported by TWC may not be comparable in all instances to non-IFRS measures as reported by other companies.

    The glossary of financial terms is as follows:

    Direct operating expenses = expenses that are directly attributable to company’s business units and are used by management in the assessment of their performance. These exclude expenses which are attributable to major corporate decisions such as impairment.

    Net operating income = operating revenue – direct operating expenses

    Net operating income is an important metric used by management in evaluating the Company’s operating performance as it represents the revenue and expense items that can be directly attributable to the specific business unit’s ongoing operations. It is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to measures of performance under IFRS. The most directly comparable measure specified under IFRS is net earnings.

    Eligible Dividend

    Today, TWC Enterprises Limited announced an eligible cash dividend of 7.5 cents per common share to be paid on June 17, 2024 to shareholders of record as at May 31, 2024.
