  • Revenue improved $7.5 million (11.4%) to $73.0 million
  • Revenue excluding fuel surcharges increased 8.3% to $65.1 million
  • EBITDA increased 3.8% to $6.2 million
  • Market share growth in most commodities
  • Converted from an income fund to a corporation
  • Trimac purchased and cancelled 1.1 million Class A common shares
  • Trimac wins two out of five safety performance awards from the Canadian Petroleum Products Institute
  • Four professional drivers receive prestigious recognition in the trucking industry

CALGARY, April 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Trimac Transportation Ltd. (TSX Symbol TMA) ("Trimac" or the "Company"), the leader in Canadian bulk trucking, is pleased to announce the release of the financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011.     

Trimac's consolidated revenue, including fuel surcharges, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 increased by $7.5 million (11.4%) as compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was the result of increased volumes in most of the commodities hauled from new and existing customers, improved market share and an increase in fuel surcharge revenue of $2.5 million.  Revenue excluding fuel surcharges improved by 8.3% to close the quarter at $65.1 million.

Compared to the first quarter in 2010, net cash flow generated from operating activities increased by $2.9 million and the net income before income tax and minority interest liability revaluation increased by $1.0 million.  With fuel surcharge revenue reclassified as a cost recovery, direct expenses as a percent of revenue improved in the current quarter to 71.8% of revenue compared to 72.7% for the first quarter in 2010.  This was primarily as a result of higher revenue volumes referred to above, improved pricing, improved utility, and improved productivity as a result of strong cost controls.    

In commenting on the results for the quarter Edward V. Malysa, President & Chief Operating Officer of Trimac, said, "Our dedicated professional drivers and support team of mechanics, technicians and administrative staff continue to create value for our shareholders by delivering value to our customers safely.  As a result of exceeding customers' expectations, Trimac continues to be rewarded with more hauling opportunities."

Safety Awards and Professional Driver Recognition

"For over 65 years, safety has been our core value," states Jeffrey J. McCaig, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.   An example of Trimac's commitment to safety includes the appointments to the Road Knight program for the Ontario Trucking Association and the Alberta Motor Association.  "Being designated as a Road Knight is the ultimate compliment that a professional driver can achieve.  Road Knights underwent a very demanding selection process, and in this role, they do excellent work promoting our industry to the public at large."  Trimac is extremely proud of the following professional drivers:

  • Ravinder Athwal, an owner operator for the past 7 years, presently working out of our Concord, Ontario chemical hauling terminal;
  • Dan Santoro, a company driver with Trimac for 20 years who is currently hauling edible products in Port Colborne, Ontario;
  • Dennis Hokanson, a company driver with 15 years experience, is based out of Edmonton, Alberta who is specialized in hauling chemical products; and
  • Darwin Clark, an owner operator hauling petroleum products, based out of Edmonton, Alberta.

A further example of Trimac's outstanding safety performance includes the Canadian Petroleum Products Institute - National Distribution Committee announcement that Trimac won two out of a possible five awards for 2010.  Trimac, on behalf of its professional drivers, is proud of this impressive accomplishment.

Financial Statements

At the time of issuing this press release, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the Management Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A"), including a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures, can be found on the Company's website at www.trimac.ca.

Declaration of Quarterly Dividend

The Board of Directors today declared a dividend of $0.0625 per share on the Class A common shares, payable on July 15, 2011 to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 30, 2011.  This dividend is designated as an eligible dividend pursuant to subsection 89(14) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and any applicable provincial legislation pertaining to eligible dividends.

Significant Development - Repurchase of Shares

Management of Trimac believes that, from time to time, the market price of the shares may not fully reflect the underlying value of the shares and that at such times the purchase of shares would be accretive and in the best interests of Trimac. Such purchases will increase the proportionate interest of, and may be advantageous to, all remaining shareholders.  In addition, the purchases by Trimac may increase liquidity to Trimac's shareholders wishing to sell their shares.

On March 22, 2011, Trimac announced that the Toronto Stock Exchange had accepted Trimac's Notice of Intention to make a normal course issuer bid to purchase for cancellation of up to 700,000 of its Class A common shares.  Trimac purchased for cancellation 700,000 Class A common shares on March 28, 2011.  A copy of Trimac's Notice of Intention can be obtained free of charge by shareholders of Trimac upon request.

On March 17, 2011, Trimac purchased and cancelled 400,000 Class A common shares from Maurice W. McCaig, a director of the Company, pursuant to an exemption from the issuer bid requirements contained in applicable Canadian securities laws.  Mr. McCaig elected to sell some of his Class A common shares in connection with his retirement planning objectives.

Trimac cautions that its assumptions may not materialize and that current economic conditions render such assumptions, although reasonable at the time they were made, subject to greater uncertainty.
