Park Lawn reports ’18 Year End Results

Toronto based funeral industry company Park Lawn Corporation released a press release that you can read here about its 2018 year end performance earlier this week.  As you may know Park Lawn Corporation has grown greatly this year by acquisitions including The Signature Group, CMS Mid-Atlantic, and Citadel Management in the United States as well as incremental unit growth in Canada.

We have not seen financial results nor have we had a chance to read the investor transcript so for now we will give some limited information from the press release.

Here is some highlights of what they point out in their release:

  • Revenue grew over 84%
  • Net earnings were $6.7 million as compared to $4.1 million in 2017
  • The company reported investing $275 million on strategic acquisitions.
  • The company was able to raise their borrowing capacity to $225 million from $150 million.
