Consolidated Results
Onex' quarterly and full-year consolidated financial results do not follow any specific trends due to acquisitions and dispositions of businesses, changes in the value of its publicly traded and privately held operating companies and varying business cycles at its operating companies.
On a consolidated basis for the fourth quarter, revenues increased 2% to $6.9 billion compared to the same period of the prior year. Onex reported a consolidated net loss of $77 million compared to a loss of $113 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. Cash from operations was $784 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to $707 million in 2011.
On a consolidated basis for the full year ended December 31, 2012, revenues increased 11% to $27.4 billion. The acquisitions completed in 2011, including JELD-WEN, contributed to this year-over-year revenue increase. Net earnings for the year were $39 million compared to $1.6 billion for 2011, which included $1.7 billion of earnings relating to the sales of Husky International and Emergency Medical Services Corporation. Cash flow from operations was $2.0 billion in 2012 compared to $1.2 billion in the prior year.
