TORONTO, April 21, 2022 /CNW/ - 407 International Inc. (the "Company") announced today revenues of $236.6 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $169.1 million for the same period of 2021. The Company reported a net income of $57.2 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to a net income of $3.7 million for the same period of 2021. Earnings before interest and other expenses, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"1) totalled $194.5 million for the first quarter of 2022 compared to $130.7 million for the same period of 2021.
The Board of Directors will continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and will review any potential dividend distribution to shareholders, as appropriate.

The Company maintains sufficient liquidity and expects to be able to satisfy all of its obligations in 2022.
