flow technology for optimized oil and gas well stimulation and
Improved/Enhanced Oil (“IOR/EOR”) recovery announces its financial
results for the first quarter ending November 30, 2018.
The financial highlights for the reporting
period are as follows:
- Total gross revenues for the first quarter 2019 totalled
$943,753, an increase of $667,086 or 241.1% from the comparative
first quarter revenues of $276,667.
- Revenues related to Powerwave stimulations for the first
quarter 2019 increased by $676,903 or 414.0% to $840,403 compared
to $163,500 in the comparative quarter. Powerwave stimulation
revenues for the reporting quarter from the Middle East had the
most dramatic impact to revenue increasing by $629,933 or 2,672.6%
to $653,503.
- Other expenses (i.e., not including costs of goods sold) for
the first quarter ended November 30, 2018 declined by $87,779 to
$938,335 compared to $1,026,114 for November 30, 2017.
- The basic and diluted net loss for the quarter ended November
30, 2018 was $45,947 (or $0.001 loss per share), a decrease of
$790,656 from the comparative quarter ended November 30, 2017 which
reported a net loss of $836,603 (or $0.0100 loss per share).
- The EBITDA1 of $213 for the first quarter 2019 represents an
increase of $763,675 over that generated in the comparative quarter
(i.e., an EBITDA loss1 of $763,462), and an increase of $440,312
over that generated in the prior quarter (i.e., an EBITDA loss1 of
$440,099 for three months ended August 31, 2018).
- Cash from operating activities totalled $340,900, an increase
of $1,108,533 over the comparative quarter, and $146,450 from the
prior quarter (i.e., cash from operating activities for the three
months ended August 31, 2018 of $194,450). Cash flows from
operating activities for the quarter were principally impacted by
non-working capital items.The quarter ended November 30, 2018 is
the third consecutive quarter where cash from operations is
positive and has grown (i.e., cash from operations for the three
months ended: November 30, 2018 - $340,900, for August 31, 2018 -
$194,450, and May 31, 2018 - $63,287). Future periods’ cash flows
from operations are dependent on non-cash working capital items and
the continued commercialization of Powerwave, particularly in the
Middle East.
- Total assets increased by $104,285 to $4,730,219 from the prior
year end and principally relates to the increase of $398,853 of
cash and cash equivalents on hand, which is principally related to
cash generated from operation and increases of inventory of
$40,315, and was offset by decrease in trade and other receivables
of $265,432.Working capital was principally affected by the net
increase in cash and cash equivalents (i.e., increasing $398,853)
and trade and other receivables (i.e., decreasing $265,432) of
$133,421, which was offset by the increase in current liabilities
of $87,870 (i.e., unearned revenue increased by $101,013, and trade
accounts payable decreased by $13,143).
The above financial highlights should be read in
conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated interim
financial statements and management discussion and analysis of
results for Wavefront for the first quarter ended November 30,
2018, which were filed on SEDAR on January 29, 2019.

the very positive strides we have made in positioning Wavefront as
the global leader in dynamic fluid flow technology however we must
remain determined in our pursuit of excellence, ensuring Powerwave
is the technology of choice for well stimulation, initially in the
Company’s marketing focus areas and then beyond,” said Wavefront
President and CEO Brett Davidson.
Mr. Davidson further stated, “Much remains to be
accomplished and with the introduction of new Powerwave tools to
meet major client needs, expectations, and alternative applications
we anticipate further Powerwave growth in the months ahead”.
