New West Energy Services Inc. (TSX VENTURE:NWE) (the "Corporation") is pleased
to announce the financial results for the Corporation for its third quarter
ended January 31, 2014.
HIGHLIGHTS
Operational and Financial Results for the third quarters ended January 31, 2014
and 2013:
-- Revenue of $6.377 million ($5.670 million for 2013).
-- Gross margin of $1.444 million ($1.549 million for 2013).
-- Net profit of $83,000 from continuing operations after income tax which
includes a deferred tax provision of $27,000 ($297,000 profit for 2013
which includes a deferred tax provision of $99,000).
-- New diversified service created from the acquisition of 1770245 Alberta
Ltd. in October 2013 which operated near full capacity and generated
$1.3 million in revenue and $226,000 in earnings.
-- During the quarter, the Corporation completed trials with two major oil
and gas operators utilizing a new technology to recover oil, water and
solids from contaminated drill cuttings. The technology uses thermal
desorption to separate oil, water and solids which are then recovered,
reused or disposed of. The Corporation is currently in discussions with
a gas producer operating in Northeast British Columbia to build a
customized unit for Western Canada and expects to establish a new
business with the United Kingdom based developer of the technology
following a successful contract being awarded. The Corporation has
incurred net expenditures of $320,581 to date for the trial which have
been expensed.
Company Developments:
-- The Corporation increased productive capacity and updated the equipment
fleet during the quarter with the addition of 11 units made up of tri
drive straight vac and water trucks, hydrovac, combination vac and
steamer units. The overall equipment fleet currently stands at 41 units.
-- Total capital expenditures during the quarter amounted to $990,000 for
trucks and equipment to meet the current demand for winter drilling
work. A total of $2.8 million has been spent for trucks and equipment
during the past nine months.
OUTLOOK AND STRATEGY
The Corporation is implementing its diversification strategy for services and
equipment upon completion of this fiscal year end which is expected to increase
revenues and margins and reduce the fluctuations in equipment utilization
between the summer and winter seasons. As part of this process, the Corporation
plans on diversifying its equipment fleet from drilling related services to
production type services to offset the swings in drilling utilization.
OVERVIEW
The Corporation operates in the oilfield service industry in Canada through two
wholly owned subsidiaries - BearStone Environmental Solutions Inc. and Porterco
Oilfield Services Inc. BearStone provides environmental services to the upstream
oil and gas industry and also operates a fleet of specialized vacuum, hydrovac
and water trucks. Porterco operates a fleet of trucks and trailers for hauling
