First three quarters: Hydro-Québec net income up $386 million, or 18%, over 2017
MONTRÉAL, Nov. 16, 2018 /CNW Telbec/ - Jean-Hugues Lafleur, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial and Risk Officer of Hydro-Québec, today announces the results for the first three quarters of 2018. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, net income totaled $2,576 million, up $386 million from $2,190 million posted a year earlier.
This marked increase is mainly due to a $277-million gain on the sale of a 55% interest in subsidiary TM4 to the multinational company Dana in the second quarter, as part of the creation of a strategic partnership.
"We continue to outdo ourselves in our net export volume," said Mr. Lafleur. "With the new record we've reached for the first three quarters, this has been one of our best performances to date on our export markets. It should also be noted that our strategic partnership with Dana will strengthen TM4's operations in Québec. This partnership is part of our long-term strategy of seizing growth opportunities outside Québec to increase our revenue."
