TORONTO – George Weston Ltd. reported a third-quarter profit attributable to shareholders of $477 million in its latest quarter as its revenue rose nearly five per cent.

The company,  which owns a majority stake in Loblaw Cos. Ltd. and a large stake in Choice Properties Real Estate Investment Trust, says the profit amounted to $1.23 per diluted share for the 16-week period ended Oct. 4.

The result compared with a profit of $15 million or three cents per diluted share in the same quarter last year.

On an adjusted basis, George Weston says it earned $1.37 per diluted share in its latest quarter, up from an adjusted profit of $1.19 per diluted share a year ago.

Revenue totalled $19.55 billion, up from $18.69 billion in the same quarter last year.

Chairman and chief executive Galen Weston says Loblaw attracted more customers, while Choice Properties saw strong tenant demand across its portfolio.
