Calian hit 17-straight years of profitability in the quarter with a net income of $4.3 million, roughly the same as its earnings in last year’s fourth quarter.
Chief executive Kevin Ford congratulated his staff on the successful quarter and impressive run of profitability in a statement. Noting the firm’s contracted backlog of more than $1 billion, Ford said the combination of Calian’s R&D investments and M&A strategy bode well for the company’s future.
“With 68 consecutive profitable quarters under our belt, record revenues and a very talented, passionate team committed to successful customer delivery and our own growth objectives, I am very positive on Calian’s long-term growth prospects,” he said.
Calian announced its third acquisition of the year earlier this month, buying Regina-based IntraGrain Technologies, which develops sensors to measure heat and moisture content of grain storage bins. The deal marks Calian’s first foray into the agritech market.
Shares of Calian Group rose more than five per cent in trading on the TSX Wednesday, closing the day at $28.80.
