The Colorado and Montreal-based company, which reports in U.S. dollars, says it earned US$47.3 million, or US$0.22 per diluted share, compared with US$388.6 or US$1.79 per share a year earlier.

Underlying net income was US$260.1 million or US$1.19 cents per share, compared with US$343.8 million or US$1.58 per share in the second quarter of fiscal 2021.
