6 Financial Results – Q1 The stability of profits between Q1 2013 and Q1 2014 can be explained principally by various factors such as our cost reduction initiatives, a reduction in head office expenses and the favourable effect due to an appreciation of the US dollar compared to the Canadian dollar. These elements were offset by lower revenues from our existing operations, notably due to difficult market conditions with respect to advertising spending in both local and national markets, which affected both our operating sectors. The net income applicable to participating shares in the first quarter of 2014 is $17.2 million. This amount is principally due to an increase of the profit before depreciation and a decrease of the financial costs. The adjusted net income applicable to participating shares stayed stable at $26.4 million. 6 Revenues decreased by $26.3M or by 5.0 %. Profit stability.
