(RTTNews) - COM DEV International Ltd. (CDV.TO) reported a net loss for the third-quarter compared to a profit posted in the same period last year. For the quarter, net loss was C$1.7 million or C$0.02 per share, compared with a net income of C$5.2 million or C$0.07 per share in the same quarter last year.

Revenue for the quarter was C$52.3 million compared to C$61.5 million in the previous year period.

Revenue fell short of management's expectations due to cost growth on five customer programs. Under COM DEV's percentage-of-completion accounting methods, these program performance issues negatively impacted both revenue and gross margin by C$6.7 million in the quarter, as revenues were realized at a slower pace than expected.
