On an adjusted basis, Ritchie Bros. says it earned 68 cents per diluted share, up from an adjusted profit of 50 cents per diluted share in the last three months of 2021.

The results come as the company works to win shareholder support for its plan to buy automotive salvage company IAA.

Several Ritchie Bros. shareholders have voiced their opposition to the deal that will be voted on by shareholders of both companies on March 14.
