George Weston reports second-quarter earnings of $98 million, down from year ago

TORONTO – George Weston Ltd. (TSX:WN) says its second-quarter net earnings attributable to shareholders fell to $98 million, down from $135 million a year earlier, primarily due to a revaluation of its holdings following an agreement to sell 9.6 million shares of Loblaw Co. (TSX:L). Basic net earnings per common share were 69 cents, down from 98 cents during the same period last year.
