Magna Loss Soars in First Quarter
by Ron Mitchell
Despite mounting losses and lack of investor confidence, executives of racetrack operator Magna Entertainment Corp. remain confident the company’s fortunes can be reversed.
During MEC’s annual meeting in Ontario May 6, the company reported a first-quarter loss of $46.5 million, or 40 cents per share, compared with a $2 million profit, or 2 cents share, during the first quarter of 2007, ending March 31. Quarterly revenue fell 9.1% to $231 million, down from $254 million.
