Third Quarter 2021 Consolidated Operating Highlights

Revenue consists of the following:

  For the three months ended
(thousands of Canadian dollars) September 30, 2021 September 30, 2020
Annual dues $ 19,598 $ 15,821
Golf   21,161   20,874
Corporate events   2,347   1,689
Food and beverage   12,134    10,089
Merchandise   4,799    4,194
Rooms and other   3,206    2,626
  $ 63,245 $ 55,293
         

As required by IFRS, ClubLink recognizes its annual dues revenue on a straight-line basis throughout the year based on when its properties are allowed to open and services are provided. As a result of COVID-19 lockdowns in both 2020 and 2021, annual dues revenue was not recognized during certain periods early in both years. Canadian annual dues revenue increased 27.2% to $18,133,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2021 from $14,254,000 in 2020 due to this policy and an increase in members. Any displaced revenue from the closure period will be recognized into revenue throughout the remainder of the year on a straight-line basis.

Operating revenue increased 14.4% for the three month period ended September 30, 2021 due to higher annual dues revenue along with the ability to operate in 2021 with less restrictions as compared to 2020.

Direct operating expenses increased 49.3% to $36,292,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2021 from $24,303,000 in 2020 due to higher revenue levels in 2021 in addition to lower Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy amounts received in 2021.

Net operating income for the Canadian golf club operations segment decreased to $28,016,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2021 from income of $32,193,000 in 2020.

Interest, net and investment income decreased 74.9% to an expense of $263,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2021 from $1,046,000 in 2020 due to a decrease in operational borrowings and an increase in investment income from the Company’s investment in Automotive Properties REIT.

Other items consist of the following income (loss) items:

  For the three months ended
(thousands of Canadian dollars) September 30, 2021 September 30, 2020
     
Impairment reversal (Heron Bay) $ 2,628   $ -  
Foreign exchange gain (loss)   708     (1,556 )

Other items $ 5,109   $ 3,119  
             

On October 8, 2021, the Company sold Heron Bay Golf Club for proceeds of US$32,000,000. At September 30, 2021, Heron Bay Golf Club has been classified as held for sale. Immediately prior to the classification of asset held for sale, the carrying amount of Heron Bay was re-measured to its recoverable amount. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment reversal pertaining to the 2018 impairment charge of US$2,510,000. As of September 30, 2021, the impairment reversal was recorded at a value of $2,628,000 (US$2,074,000) representing the impairment reversal net of what would have otherwise subsequently been depreciated from January 1, 2019 to September 30, 2021.

The exchange rate used for translating US denominated assets has changed from 1.2394 at June 30, 2021 to 1.2741 at September 30, 2021. This has resulted in a foreign exchange gain of $708,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2021 on the translation of the Company’s US denominated financial instruments.

Net earnings remained relatively flat at $22,757,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $22,427,000 in 2020. Basic and diluted earnings per share increased to 93 cents per share in 2021, compared to 87 cents in 2020 due to the decline in weighted average shares outstanding in 2021.

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 2 cents per common share to be paid on December 15, 2021 to shareholders of record as at November 30, 2021.
