CALGARY, Alberta–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Olympia Financial Group Inc. (“Olympia”) (TSX: OLY) today announces its operating and financial results for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Results from operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 include the following (compared to operations for the year ended December 31, 2019):
- Earnings before income tax decreased 19% to $10.36 million from $12.86 million.
- Total revenue decreased 1% to $48.62 million from $49.08 million mainly due to a decrease in interest revenue, from both trust and receivables.
- Service revenue increased 2% to $36.36 million from $35.58 million mainly due to continued growth in the Corporate and Shareholder Services division throughout 2020 and an increase in service revenues in the Currency and Global Payments division, despite declines in Private Health Services Plans division revenues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Interest revenue and trust income decreased 9% to $12.26 million from $13.50 million, mainly due to the average Canadian prime rate for the year being lower at 2.45% compared to an average of 3.95% in 2019.
- Direct and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization) decreased 6% to $35.51 million from $37.79 million, mainly due to decreases in general and administration costs, including staff events, travel, and consulting fees.
