CARIBBEAN INVESTMENT HOLDINGS LIMITED ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR THE
SIX MONTHSED SEPTEMBER 30, 2018
Belize City, Belize, December 19, 2018 -- Caribbean Investment
Holdings Limited (London - AIM: CIHL; Bermuda - CIHL) (the
"Company" or "CIHL")
The Company reported a net income from operations of $6.8m for
the six months ended September 30, 2018 (2017 - net income of
$9.4m), and a net income per ordinary share from continuing
operations for the six months of $0.07 (2017 - net income per share
of $0.09).
Interest income decreased by $4.5m due to (i) a payout of banana
industry loans totaling $28.5m in March 2018 and (ii) a reduction
in the interest rate charged on the LCIA Award from 17.0% per annum
to a statutory rate of 6.0% as determined by the Caribbean Court of
Justice following their judgment in favor of The Belize Bank
Limited in November 2017. Similar to prior year's results, the
allowance for loan losses reflects a credit balance as the Company
reported a reversal of allowances for the six months ended
September 30, 2018 resulting from better than expected recoveries
from the sale of collateral.
