Second Quarter 2024 Consolidated Operating Highlights
Operating revenue decreased 3.8% to $62,183,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2024 from $64,653,000 in 2023 due to the decline in real estate revenue from seven Highland Gate home sales compared to eight in 2023.
Direct operating expenses decreased 1.5% to $53,049,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2024 from $53,834,000 in 2023 due to the decline in real estate cost of sales from less home sales in 2024.
Net operating income for the Canadian golf club operations segment increased to $10,361,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2024 from $10,289,000 in 2023.
Interest, net and investment income increased to income of $2,813,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2024 from $2,201,000 in 2023 due to higher cash balances and the income earned on these balances.

At June 30, 2024, the Company recorded unrealized losses of $5,119,000 on its investment in marketable securities (June 30, 2023 - $474,000). This loss is attributable to the fair market value adjustments of the Company's investment in Automotive Properties REIT.
Net earnings in the amount of $3,159,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2024 changed from $8,114,000 in 2023 due to the unrealized loss in the amount of $5,119,000 on the Company’s investment in Automotive Properties REIT recorded in 2024. Basic and diluted earnings per share decreased to $0.13 per share in 2024, compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.33 cents in 2023.
Non-IFRS Measures
TWC uses non-IFRS measures as a benchmark measurement of our own operating results and as a benchmark relative to our competitors. We consider these non-IFRS measures to be a meaningful supplement to net earnings. We also believe these non-IFRS measures are commonly used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate our financial performance. These measures, which included direct operating expenses and net operating income do not have standardized meaning under IFRS. While these non-IFRS measures have been disclosed herein to permit a more complete comparative analysis of the Company’s operating performance and debt servicing ability relative to other companies, readers are cautioned that these non-IFRS measures as reported by TWC may not be comparable in all instances to non-IFRS measures as reported by other companies.
The glossary of financial terms is as follows:
Direct operating expenses = expenses that are directly attributable to company’s business units and are used by management in the assessment of their performance. These exclude expenses which are attributable to major corporate decisions such as impairment.
Net operating income = operating revenue – direct operating expenses
Net operating income is an important metric used by management in evaluating the Company’s operating performance as it represents the revenue and expense items that can be directly attributable to the specific business unit’s ongoing operations. It is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to measures of performance under IFRS. The most directly comparable measure specified under IFRS is net earnings.
Eligible Dividend
Today, TWC Enterprises Limited announced an eligible cash dividend of 7.5 cents per common share to be paid on September 16, 2024 to shareholders of record as at August 30, 2024.
