Park Lawn Corporation Continues Strong Growth in 2016

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - May 26, 2016) - Park Lawn Corporation (TSX VENTURE:PLC) ("PLC") today announced its financial results for the three-month period ending March 31, 2016 ("Q1") showing significant improvements in operating results with a year‐over‐year revenue growth of 58.3%.

PLC's strong Q1 performance resulted in earnings per share for the quarter increasing by 40.3% from $0.155 in 2015 to $0.217 in 2016. EBITDA attributed to equity holders of PLC also increased by 29.5% for the same three-month period from $1,207,940 in 2015 to $1,563,899 this year.

"Park Lawn Corporation undertook several large expansions of existing assets, as well as new acquisitions in both Canada and the US in the latter half of 2015 and early in 2016," stated Andrew Clark, Chairman & CEO of PLC. "We are pleased that the initial integration of these new assets has created positive results for our bottom line which in turn have contributed to increased earnings for PLC shareholders."

Factors that contributed to this year-over‐year improvement included:

• Acquiring Midwest Memorial Group ("MMG"), which owns 26 cemeteries (including nine with crematoria) and manages two cemeteries in the State of Michigan.
• Acquiring Korban Funeral Chapel in Winnipeg, MB and Mundell Funeral Home Limited in Orillia, ON.
• Completing a new 3,240 crypt mausoleum, as well as refurbishing an out of service crematorium at Westminster Cemetery in the Greater Toronto Area.
• Acquiring Basic Funerals, a lower‐cost primarily online funeral operation with a large presence in the Greater Toronto Area, Ottawa Valley Region and Southwestern Ontario.

"Since 2013, PLC has become the largest, publicly‐traded Canadian company in this industry, expanding from six cemeteries in the GTA to 56 cemeteries and funeral home operations across Canada and in the US," added Clark. "We believe the company is well positioned to continue the strong performance shown in Q1 through 2016."
