The Toronto-based gaming company posted third-quarter revenue of $50.6 million, but its net loss tripled year over year. Enthusiast also said its board committee tasked with searching for a new CEO has retained a U.S. recruitment firm as its five-month-long quest for a new leader continues. (The Logic)
Talking point: Enthusiast reported a net loss of $37.1 million compared to $12.4 million in the same quarter last year. The company announced a management reorganization in August after its largest shareholder and a group of executives called for CEO Adrian Montgomery’s removal citing concerns about Enthusiast’s direction. The firm has been looking for his replacement since July. “The search for a new CEO continues and remains a top priority,” Montgomery told investors in an earnings call Monday. “We have an excellent list of candidates and we’re confident that we’ll have a new CEO shortly.” Enthusiast shares closed down more than five per cent Tuesday on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
