Financials

ISC’s FY23 results highlight the persistent organic growth potential of the Services division with growth further bolstered by incremental earnings from fee adjustments associated with the MSA extension and a full-year contribution from acquisitions made in 2022. Revenue and adjusted EBITDA stood at C$103.5m and C$72.9m, representing y-o-y increases of 13.0% and 13.2%, respectively. Despite a substantial increase in amortisation, normalised EBIT was C$52.4m, an increase of 5.4%, yielding a margin of 24%. Year-end net debt was C$153.1m (2022: C$31.6m), following the C$150m upfront payment for the MSA extension. A subsequent increase in net finance costs from C$3.2m to C$13.2m contributed to a 14.1% decrease in net income (normalised) to C$29.4m. Our forecasts are under review.
