Canada’s Shaw Communications Inc (SJRb.TO) posted a 3 per cent rise in quarterly revenue as it added more retail Internet customers.

Calgary-based Shaw has transformed itself into a pure-play communications company, purchasing the country’s fourth largest wireless company Wind Mobile in late February and selling its media assets to Corus Entertainment Inc in a deal that closed earlier this month.

Shaw, which competes with Telus Corp in Western Canada, said its consumer unit added more than 4,000 internet customers in the quarter.

The company’s net income fell to $164-million, or 32 cents per share, in the second quarter ended Feb. 29, from $168-million, or 34 cents per share, a year earlier.

Shaw’s quarterly revenue rose to $1.15-billion from $1.12-billion.
