TORONTO, Nov. 22, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Partners Value Investments Inc. (the "Company", TSX: PVF.WT) announced today its financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2019. All amounts are stated in US dollars.
The Company generated net loss of $35 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to net loss of $29 million in the prior year period.
