Canfor Reports Record First Quarter Income in 1989
Canfor Corporation reports a first quarter net income of 30.2 million or 1.26 per share, up from 29 million in 1988. Net sales were 202.2 million as equity accounting for Howe Sound and Cantor- Weldwood interests reduces current period revenue. The firm notes strong pulp and paper demand and higher prices, offset by a weak Canadian dollar and reduced lumber production during mill startups. The report also highlights an approved cash purchase of Balfour Forest Products, a boosted semiannual dividend to 0.35 per share, payable June 30, and the appointment of A Kirke MacMillan as Vice-President Environment.
