(firmenpresse) - KING CITY, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 11/09/12 -- ClubLink Enterprises Limited (TSX: CLK)
Consolidated Financial Highlights
Third Quarter 2012 Consolidated Operating Highlights
Championship golf rounds increased 1.2% to 576,000 championship rounds for the three month period ending September 30, 2012 from 569,000 championship rounds in 2011 due to the Palm-Aire golf club acquired November 2011 in Florida. Same store golf rounds for the three month period ending September 30, 2012 is 561,000 rounds.
Rail passengers have increased 1.6% to 248,000 passengers for the three month period ending September 30, 2012 from 244,000 passengers in 2011 due to seven additional dockings during this period.
Port passengers have increased 6.8% to 486,000 passengers for the three month period ending September 30, 2012 from 455,000 passengers in 2011 due to these extra dockings.
Consolidated operating revenue decreased 3.2% to $86,276,000 for the three month period ending September 30, 2012 from $89,151,000 in 2011, primarily due to a decline in Canadian golf club operations revenue from less members and a decline in revenue from Grandview Resort which was closed in February 2012. This decrease was offset by revenue generated by Palm-Aire golf club acquired November 2011.
Consolidated cost of sales and operating expenses decreased 5.5% to $53,171,000 for the three month period ending September 30, 2012 from $56,287,000 in 2011, primarily due to the closure of Grandview Resort and cost containment measures for the Canadian golf club operations. This has been offset by increased costs from the US golf club operations relating to the Palm-Aire acquisition.
Net operating income increased 0.7% to $33,105,000 for the three month period ending September 30, 2012 from $32,864,000 in 2011 primarily due to the incremental net operating income from the additional passengers in the rail, tourism and port operations. Net operating income for the Canadian Region has decreased due to the closure of Grandview Resort which had a net operating income during the third quarter of 2011.
Net membership fee income decreased 3.0% to $3,553,000 for the three month period ending September 30, 2012 from $3,663,000 in 2011.
Earnings before other items and income taxes increased 0.4% to $36,658,000 for the three month period ending September 30, 2012 from $36,527,000 in 2011.
Interest, net decreased 1.8% to $5,193,000 for the three month period ending September 30, 2012 from $5,288,000 in 2011 primarily due to a lower average cost of borrowing from a year ago.
Other income, net decreased to an expense of $11,000 for the three month period ending September 30, 2012 from income of $750,000 for 2011, primarily due to a reduction in prior year Ontario golf club property tax refunds recorded in 2012 to $4,000 from $2,528,000 in 2011. This was offset by a change in the unrealized foreign exchange to a gain of $564,000 in 2012 from a loss of $1,404,000 in 2011.
Net earnings decreased 2.4% to $16,488,000 for the three month period ending September 30, 2012 from $16,886,000 in 2011 primarily due to a reduction in prior year Ontario golf club property tax refunds.
Basic and diluted earnings per share increased to 63 cents per share from 61 cents per share for the three month period ending September 30, 2011 due to the decline in weighted average shares outstanding to 26,365,000 for 2012 from 27,808,000 in 2011.
The impact of the prior year Ontario golf club property tax refunds is as follows:

(1) Net operating income, net membership fee income, earnings before other items and income taxes, cash flow (deficiency) from operations and basic and diluted cash flow (deficiency) from operations per share are not recognized performance measures under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). Earnings before other items and income taxes is defined as earnings before taxes, interest, depreciation, amortization, and other items. Management believes that in addition to net earnings, these measures are useful supplemental information to provide investors with an indication of the Company's performance. Investors should be cautioned, however, that these measures should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of the Company's performance. ClubLink's method of calculating these measures is consistent from year to year, but may be different than those used by other companies (See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations").
Management's discussion and analysis, financial statements and other disclosure information relating to the Company is available through SEDAR and at and on the Company website at .
