Cogeco posted a loss attributable to shareholders of $34.5 million in the third quarter on Thursday, after the company posted a profit of $37.5 million in the same period a year ago.

The company says its third-quarter loss attributable to shareholders was primarily due to non-cash impairment charges of $88 million related to the radio business, as well as higher costs.

Diluted loss per share was $2.22, compared to earnings per share of $2.37 a year earlier.

For the same period, its cable and internet subsidiary said profit attributable to shareholders was 95.9 million, down 4.3% from a year earlier.
