Transcontinental Reports Positive Trend in Q3 Financial Indicators

MONTREAL—September 8, 2010—For the fifth quarter in a row, Transcontinental improved its operating income, excluding unusual items, over the previous fiscal year. Management said the results stem primarily from the corporation’s diversified customer base of retailers, advertisers and publishers; its leading position in each of its niches; the success of its unique service offering which combines new digital and print platforms; the rationalization measures implemented in 2009; and the important contributions from print contracts signed in recent years.
