MISSISSAUGA – Cargojet Inc. reported net earnings of $4.1 million during the first quarter, down from $48 million last year. 

That amounted to diluted earnings per share of 27 cents during the quarter, down from $2.87 a year earlier.

The company says the decline in net earnings was due to several factors, including a decline in gross margin of $12.4 million and higher expenses.

Cargojet says its revenue reached $254.7 million during the period, rising year-over-year from $249.9 million. 

The company says its board of directors declared a cash dividend of 38.5 cents per common share. 

Earlier this month, Cargojet announced an agreement to divest its minority stake in U.S.-based air cargo operator 21 Air LLC.
