6 Financial Results – Q2 The increase in profits between Q2 2013 and Q2 2014 can be explained principally by our cost optimization initiatives in the Print sector, the sale of the assets of Rastar, new distribution contracts and the reduction of our cost structure in the Media sector. 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, as well as a decrease in the print volume within our marketing products operations. The net income applicable to participating shares in the second quarter of 2014 increased to $34.7 million, compared to $25,3 million in the second quarter of 2013. This improvement is due to lower restructuring and other costs, an increase in adjusted operating earnings and lower financial expenses, partially offset by the increase in income taxes. The adjusted net income applicable to participating shares increased to $36,8 million in the second quarter of 2014, compared to $32,6 million in the second quarter of 2013. 6 Revenues decreased by $19.6M or by 3.8 %.
