(TSX: WCM.A, WCM.B) (“Wilmington” or the “Corporation”) reported a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025, of $0.2 million or ($0.01) per share compared to net income of $1.3 million or $0.10 per share for the same period in 2024.

First Quarter 2025
The Corporation reported a net loss for the three months ending March 31, 2025 of $0.2 million or ($0.01) per share compared to net income of $1.3 million or $0.10 per share for the same period in 2024.

Outlook
Beginning in August 2023, the Corporation took steps to monetize a significant number of its investments in order to unlock the embedded value which had been substantially realized, simplify its business and return capital to its shareholders. As at March 31, 2025, the Corporation had approximately $34 million of cash on hand and an 18% ownership interest in Bay Moorings Marina Holdings Limited Partnership, which owns land in Ontario being redeveloped into 50 residential sites and a condo having approximately 90 units.

The Corporation is currently reviewing a range of alternatives aimed at providing liquidity to shareholders including repatriating additional capital and maximizing the value of its public platform.
