PARAMOUNT EARNINGS HIT $16,077,000
New York — Paramount Pictures, Inc., according to an announcement last week, estimates its earnings for the year ended on Jan. 1, 1944, at $16,077,000, after interest and all charges including reserves pro¬ vided for contingencies and estimated provision for all Federal normal and ex¬ cess profits taxes.
This amount includes $1,552,000 repre¬ senting Paramount’s direct and indirect net interest as a stockholder in the com¬ bined undistributed earnings for the year of partially owned non-consolidated sub¬ sidiaries. Earnings for the year ended on Jan. 2, 1943, were $14,631,650, including $1,506,214 share of undistributed earnings of partially owned non-consolidated sub¬ sidiaries.
Earnings for the quarter ended on Jan. 1, 1944, are estimated on the same basis at $4,422,000. These earnings do not include $354,000 representing the amount of dividends received by the company and its consolidated subsidiaries from non-consolidated subsidiaries in excess of Paramount's direct and indirect net interest as a stockholder in the combined earnings of such subsidiaries for the quarter, such excess representing a partial distribution of share of earnings of previous quarters. Earnings for the corresponding quarter ended on Jan. 2, 1943, were $5,353,000, not including $447,000 representing the amount of dividends received by the company and its consolidated subsidiaries from non-consolidated subsidiaries in excess of Paramount's direct and indirect net interest in the combined earnings of such subsidiaries for the quarter. Such fourth quarter 1942 earnings included the company's share of film rentals and earnings of subsidiaries operating in England, Australia, New Zealand, and India, ap¬ plicable to the first nine months of 1942 to the ex¬ tent not previously reflected in earnings during that period due to restrictions on remittances then in efFect.
The $16,077,000 of estimated combined consoli¬ dated and shore of undistributed earnings for the year represent $4.28 per share on the 3,752,136 shares of common stock outstanding on Jan. 1, 1944, which compares with $4.74 per share for the year ended on Jan 2, 1943, on the 2,933,717 common shares then outstanding, after providing $728,706 for dividends on the then outstanding first preferred shares. Estimated combined consolidated and share of undistributed earnings of $4,422,000 for the quarter ended on Jan. 1, 1944, represent $1.18 per share on the 3,752,136 shares of common stock out¬ standing, which compares with $1.76 per share for the quarter ended on Jan. 2, 1943, on the 2,933,717 common shares then outstanding, after providing $182,177 for accrued dividends on the then out¬ standing first preferred shares, but including the ad¬ ditional film rentals and earnings from England, Australia, New Zealand, and India, as aforesaid,
