FirstService's profit fell in the fourth quarter as softer home- and property-services performance was offset by gains in its residential segment, leaving revenue slightly higher.
The Toronto-based property services company on Wednesday posted a decrease in net income to $85.9 million, down from $89.6 million in the comparable quarter a year ago. On a per share basis, earnings came in at 85 cents, up from 71 cents.
Adjusted earnings were $1.37 a share, coming in ahead of analyst projections of $1.32 a share.
Revenues edged forward to $1.38 billion from $1.37 billion, in line with expectations.
Of its segments, FirstService Brands recorded a 3% decline in revenues to $820.3 million, while its Residential segment got a boost of 8% in the quarter to reach $563.1 million.
Looking forward, Chief Executive Scott Patterson said that as market conditions normalize, the company is positioned to see organic growth return to levels approaching its long-term track record and future targets.
