Bird Construction Inc. Announces 2017 Fourth Quarter and Annual Financial Results


LISTING:   TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE
SYMBOL:   BDT

MISSISSAUGA, ON, March 8, 2018 /CNW/ -      

HIGHLIGHTS:

"Fiscal 2017 was a challenging year for Bird and unfortunately the recent issues on a PPP project in which we did not achieve substantial completion on time impacted our fourth quarter negatively and overshadows the fact that we successfully delivered and handed over three PPP projects in the second quarter of this year.  While financial results in the fourth quarter were lower than the expectations we set for ourselves, we are encouraged by the strength of our Gross Profit Percentage in the quarter which exceeded that of a year ago."  said Ian Boyd, President and CEO of Bird Construction Inc. "I am pleased by the progress we are making in the execution of our Build Bird five-year strategic plan and in the successes we are having diversifying our earnings base including our recent wins in the environmental and nuclear sectors.  We are seeing progressive improvements in market conditions in the energy and resource sectors and expect to see more strength come from our industrial work program in 2018."
