DUNDEE BANCORP FIRST QUARTER RESULTS



Toronto – May 6, 2004: DUNDEE BANCORP INC. (TSX:  DBC.A) is pleased to report its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2004.  Reported net earnings in the first quarter of 2004 are significantly higher, at $30.1 million or $1.19 per share as compared with $12.9 million or $0.51 per share in the same period of 2003.  


On December 30, 2003, our subsidiary, Dundee Wealth Management Inc. (“Dundee Wealth”), completed the acquisition of Cartier Partners Financial Group Inc. (“Cartier”), which transformed Dundee Wealth into one of the largest independent integrated wealth management companies in Canada.  On a combined basis, Dundee Wealth has over $40 billion in fee paying assets under management and administration and approximately 3,300 financial advisors in over 900 offices across Canada.  Dundee Wealth’s results for this quarter include the operating results generated from the Cartier business acquired.


On a consolidated basis, Dundee Bancorp generated operating EBITDA1 of $57.5 million in the first quarter of 2004, up 76% from $32.6 million earned in the same period of 2003.  The increase in EBITDA is largely due to an increase in average fee generating assets at our subsidiary, Dundee Wealth, which, on a combined managed and administered basis ended the current quarter at $40.2 billion compared with $16.4 billion at March 31, 2003 and $38.4 billion at December 31, 2003.

 

Net realized investment gains during the first quarter of 2004 were $21.4 million compared with $16.5 million in 2003.  Increased activity from our corporate investments reflects improved market values in 2004 and our desire to monetize some of our non-core investment positions.


Real estate activities resulted in pre-tax earnings of $12.9 million in the first quarter of 2004. In the comparative period of 2003, our real estate investments were accounted for on an equity-accounted basis and reflect our proportionate interest in Dundee Realty’s combined land and housing and revenue generating businesses.


Significant developments in our resource segment include the previously announced transaction completed by Dundee Precious Metals Inc. (“Dundee Precious”) on April 15, 2004.  Dundee Precious received shareholder approval and was transformed from an investment company to an operating gold mining company.  Concurrently, it terminated its investment management arrangement with our subsidiary, Dundee Wealth.  Dundee Precious issued 4,625,000 common shares and an option to acquire an additional 2,500,000 common shares to Dundee Wealth in settlement of the termination payment which will result in Dundee Wealth realizing

1 “EBITDA” represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.  EBITDA is set out in the consolidated statements of operations of Dundee Wealth and is a non-GAAP earnings measure.  The Company uses this measure as a supplement for net earnings and cash flows.








a gain of $26.8 million in the second quarter of 2004.  We acquired both the shares and the option from Dundee Wealth for cash proceeds of $27.8 million on April 19, 2004 and then exercised the option, which increased our percentage ownership in Dundee Precious to 21%.  We will now be equity accounting for this investment.
