Wavefront Announces Second Quarter 2014 Financial Results
EDMONTON, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Apr 29, 2014) - Wavefront
Technology Solutions Inc. (Wavefront or the Corporation),
(TSX-VENTURE:WEE)(OTCQX:WFTSF) a leading-edge provider of fluid
injection processes primarily for mature field revitalization
(Enhanced Oil Recovery or "EOR") as well as oil and gas well
stimulation announces its financial results for the second quarter
ending February 28, 2014.
Wavefront's business operates in a market where there is
increasing demand to bring economically beneficial solutions to
exploration and production companies (or "E&P" companies) to
maximize oil and gas productivity. Central to Wavefront's broad
portfolio of technologies is the fluid delivery process, Powerwave
that encompasses the life cycle of a client's post exploration
operations.
Wavefront is uniquely positioned to capitalize on significant
growth opportunities. The Corporation believes that no competitor
has a similar, diverse portfolio of unique fluid injection
methodologies and tools. By leveraging Powerwave across multiple
oil industry applications including EOR; well stimulation; and,
drilling among other applications, Wavefront is seeking to minimize
technology risk and accelerate commercialization timelines.
The financial highlights for the three months ended February 28,
2014 include:
- Total revenues were $1,247,048, an increase of $219,560 over
the comparative period in 2013 that recognized revenues of
$1,027,488.
- Revenues attributed only to Powerwave product lines were
$1,050,466 an increase of $300,570 or 40.1% increase over revenues
in the comparative period of $749,896.

2014 were $375,036 or 30.1% of revenues compared to $239,512 or
23.3% of revenues in the comparative period.
- For the three months ended February 28, 2014, the gross profit
margin(1) for Powerwave was 69.9% compared to 76.7% for the
comparative period due to the heavier weighting on international
projects and providing greater field incentive compensation to
accelerate growth.
- Other expenses for the three months ended February 28, 2014,
amounted to $2,064,936 compared to $2,175,357 in 2013 as the

28, 2014 decreased by $227,807 to $1,027,187 ($0.0139 per share),

- Cash used in operating activities(2) decreased $586,362 to
$529,215 from the comparative period of $1,115,577. Management
believes that over time, the funds used in operations should
decrease as revenue grows and as it focuses expenditures on nearer
term revenues. Wavefront continues to strive toward sustainability
while endeavouring to accelerate revenue growth in its core focus
marketing regions.
- Total current assets decreased by $1,442,717 to $12,308,896
from the prior year end. Of the net decrease, $1,607,721 relates to

of intellectual property licences and patents, less proceeds on

plant and equipment, which is comprised of: $579,206 relating to
depreciation, $209,599 relating to purchases, $9,868 relating to

in intangible assets to $3,769,131, which is comprised of: $256,817

duties and taxes, from gross revenue. Gross profit margin is
calculated by dividing the gross profit by gross revenue.
