Cogeco Cable reports good Q1 results

14th Jan 2009, 12:00 am

Diversified telecommunications group Cogeco Cable Inc reported a 15.7 percent rise in first quarter net profit to CDN$23.5 million while revenue increased 18.9 percent to CDN$299.4 million


It said its Canadian operations benefit from continued organic growth despite the early signs of maturation in some services. In our European operations, the continuing unfavorable economic environment and highly competitive dynamics negatively impacted growth in all of its services, with the exception of the Digital Television service which has contributed steady increases in subscriptions since its launch in the second half of fiscal 2008.


The company operates in Ontario, Québec, and Portugal, and  provides about 2,569,000 revenue-generating units (basic cable, Digital Television, High Speed Internet and Telephony service equipment) to approximately 2,365,000 homes passed by its cable network in the territories it serves.
