The Company's total revenue increased 4% in the period ended November 30, 2023 to $559,649 from $539,093 in the same period a year earlier. Comprehensive income increased to $8,054 in this quarter, from comprehensive loss of $(111,399) as at November 30, 2022.
The Company reported comprehensive income of $8,054, due to the following:
- During 2022, 2023, and continuing into 2024, the supply of new vehicles for sale at automobile dealerships in Canada continues to be constrained. The ongoing lack of supply is affecting buyer interest and activity. The impact of lower-than-usual inventory is pricing at or above full retail list price, or MSRP. Many consumers are choosing to withdraw from the market, which results in reducing overall traffic and new user activity on CarCostCanada.com. The lower traffic levels also impairs third-party advertising revenues.
- Management continued to reduce expenses, mainly in advertising and payroll.
Operations
The Insurance Services division realized a decrease in revenue in the three months ended November 30, 2023, from $363,128 in 2022 to $361,575 in 2023. This decrease was a result of fewer claims processed - natural disasters and weather events contribute to an increase in claims, and there were no occurrences of these during this period.
The CarCostCanada division (combining the former Retail, Dealer and Advertising divisions) revenue was up 9% to $111,068 for the period ended November 30, 2023, from $101,656 for the period ended November 30, 2022. Once new vehicle production and dealership inventories return to pre-Covid levels, management expects this division's revenues to continue to increase. Also, management is working on new revenue producing products for this division.
The Information Technology division revenue increased 17% to $87,006 in Q2 2024, from $74,309 in Q2 2023. IT continues to offer technical support and web site hosting to customers and is developing new customer relationships on a regular basis, as well as offering new services for sale.
Wages and other office expenses in this second quarter of fiscal 2024 before amortization and interest decreased to $537,211, compared to $627,671, a 14% decrease over the same quarter last year.
Accounts receivable increased 52% to $400,770 as at November 30, 2023 compared to $264,205 as at November 30, 2022. Related parties accounts receivable decreased from $13,178 to $124 in the same periods.
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased 92%, to $267,437 as at November 30, 2023 from $139,074 a year earlier. Related parties accounts payable increased to $35,428 as at November 30, 2023, from $21,916 a year earlier.
