“The sale of our Georgia based assets and operations in Ireland, in addition to the earlier sale of our UK operations, are key milestones in our strategy to refine our focus,” said Scott Gahn, President and Chief Executive Officer of Just Energy. “These changes to our business structure allow us to concentrate on our stronger growth and higher-margin operations in North America, while reducing costs.”
Commitment to lower cost structureIn late fiscal 2019 and during fiscal 2020, Just Energy identified several opportunities to improve efficiency and profitability. The Company has been implementing these initiatives, including eliminating low-value activities, businesses and overhead, optimizing spending, improving efficiency in its customer care group and refining the quality of its customer base. The impact of these improvements is beginning to yield results and the Company estimates that these improvements will drive savings of approximately C$60 million, net of costs associated with severance and Just Energy’s strategic review process.
Strategic review process The strategic review process initiated in early June is ongoing. The Board’s goal for the strategic review is to unlock value for Just Energy and all its stakeholders with respect to its core North American business. Just Energy has not set a specific timeframe for the conclusion of the strategic review. The Company will provide an update when the Board has approved a specific course of action.
