Summary
The Company's revenues are typically more heavily weighted towards the second half of the calendar year leading up to the beginning of the school season, while expenses are more evenly distributed over the course of the year. In the third quarter, McGraw-Hill Ryerson's revenues generally exceed the first two quarters combined. For the third quarter in 2013, the net income is $6.1 million, compared to net income of $6.2 million in the third quarter of 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net income was $3.8 million, consistent with the first nine months of 2012.

While industry sales data indicate a decrease in spending year to date, Higher Education Division sales increased by $0.6 million to $22.7 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared to the third quarter of 2012. This increase was mainly the result of strong sales from our digital initiatives.
The School Division sales decreased by $1.7 million to $6.1 million in the third quarter of 2013 from $7.8 million in the corresponding quarter of 2012 as a result of non-recurring product sales tied to final phase of curriculum changes in the Western provinces last year. This is consistent with industry sales data which show a significant decline in the K-12 space.
In the Professional Division, sales increased by $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2013 to $1.5 million as a result of an increase in orders from the campus store and wholesaler channels.
