Dominion Lending Centres Clearlease Reports Fortis Inc. (TSX:FTS) issues dividend after reporting higher profits
VANCOUVER, BC – (May 6, 2011) Clearlease Reports Electricity and gas distributor Fortis Inc. (TSX:FTS) has kept its dividend unchanged after reporting a 17 per cent increase in profits.
The utility company will pay out 29 cents per share on Sept. 1 to shareholders of record on August 12.
On Wednesday, Fortis said higher energy consumption helped boost its profits to $117 million in first quarter profits, up from $100 million last year.
That is equal to 67 cents per common share, up from 58 cents in the first quarter of 2010.
The company said the climbing price of oil and gas also contributed to the higher profits, but higher energy consumption in Alberta due to bad weather played the biggest role.
Fortis took a $4 million foreign currency hit as the loonie rose above par with the U.S. dollar in the quarter.
Fortis owns utilities in Newfoundland, Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Prince Edward Island, New York State and Belize. It serves about 2.1 million customers.
The St. John’s-based company also owns hotels and commercial space, mainly in Atlantic Canada.
