  • Gross profit increased by 15.2% to $101.6 million (15.3% of sales).

  • Generated Cash Flow from Net Earnings(1) of $17.4 million.

 Matt Campbell, CEO of Rocky, noted, “An excellent growing season translated into strong earnings for the period. The elimination of the dilution associated with the convertible debentures, coupled with these favourable results, generated record diluted earnings per share for our shareholders this quarter.

“As previously discussed, Rocky has made a significant investment over the last year in preparing our organization for the future. We have initiated new training programs, new procedural and technological improvements and rationalized our stores under a single, strong brand. The largest part of these costs has now been incurred, and we look forward to realizing their returns through improved operating efficiency, better brand recognition and, ultimately, an enhanced relationship with our customers.

“During the quarter, we acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of Camrose Farm Equipment Ltd, a Case IH and New Holland Agriculture dealer with stores in Camrose and Killam, Alberta. Subsequent to the quarter end, we purchased the Case IH Agriculture dealership assets of Houlder Automotive Ltd., with stores in Grimshaw and Falher, Alberta. With these acquisitions, Rocky continues to expand its reach across the Alberta agriculture market.

“Overall, the continued strong economic conditions in both agriculture and construction have played a part in Rocky’s success and growth, while at the same time our ability to be a partner of choice for equipment purchasers allowed us to expand our same store revenues. The impact of previously acquired dealerships and trade areas, along with our strong OEM relationships, position us well to pursue our revenue and earnings growth initiatives.”
