New West Energy Services Inc. Announces Financial Results for Second Quarter 2018

CALGARY, Aug. 29, 2018 /CNW/ - New West Energy Services Inc. (TSX Venture: NWE), an oil and gas and environmental services company focused on Western Canada, today announced its financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

NOTE REGARDING CHANGE IN FINANCIAL YEAR-END

NWE has changed its financial year-end from April 30 to December 31 to better conform with other similar energy services companies in the industry and to line up the company's quarterly filings with more traditional quarters.  Consequently, in this new financial year commencing January 1, 2018, NWE is reporting unaudited second quarter interim financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the six months ended July 31, 2017.

Going forward, NWE will use a customary quarterly reporting calendar based on a December 31 financial year-end, with fiscal quarters ending on the last day in March, June, September and December each year.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Gerry E. Kerkhoff, President and Chief Executive Officer of NWE stated "New West reported continued top line growth in the first quarter with revenue closing in on $8 million but struggled in the second quarter due to a longer spring breakup and lower activity across all drilling, completions and production sectors.  As a result of our reduced revenue in the second quarter and an increase proportionally in direct costs associated with our fluid transportation division, our gross margin decreased considerably."

Mr. Kerkhoff continued: "Importantly, looking forward we have increased our revenue generating units by around 45% by completing approximately $630,000 in major equipment repairs, near $400,000 of which occurred in the second quarter with the remaining amount occurring subsequent to the quarter end.  Management anticipates our gross margin to improve in the second half of 2018 and into 2019 as a higher proportion of our revenue is generated by higher margin owned equipment, reducing considerably our previous reliance on lower margin third-party contractors and owner operators, and service rates increase due to expected stronger demand."

  • Revenue was $10,530,892 in the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $9,073,471 in the six months ended July 31, 2017, and $2,622,753 in the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $4,196,883 in the three months ended July 31, 2017.  This increase in the six-month period reflects much stronger revenue in the first quarter of 2018 compared to 2017, with the decrease in the three-month period being due primarily to a longer spring breakup and generally lower activity across all drilling, completions and production sectors.

  • Gross margin was 15% in the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to 23% in the six months ended July 31, 2017, and 10% in the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to 24% in the three months ended July 31, 2017.  This decrease in gross margin is due primarily to a significant reduction in revenue in the second quarter of 2018 with an increase proportionally in direct costs in the Vacuum Truck and Fluid Transportation Services division, including higher fuel and labour costs relative to NWE's service rates and proportionally higher repair and maintenance costs for equipment. 

  • General and administrative expenses were $1,876,126 in the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $1,599,206 in the six months ended July 31, 2017, and $932,012 in the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $846,564 in the three months ended July 31, 2017. This increase was mainly due to expenses associated with the hiring of personnel and the establishment of operations in Grande Prairie servicing the completions and production sectors.

  • Normalized EBITDAC was negative $204,780 in the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $536,192 in the six months ended July 31, 2017, and negative $642,590 in the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $174,861 in the three months ended July 31, 2017.

* Normalized EBITDAC is earnings from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and share-based payments and is a measure of NWE's operating profitability. The calculation is further adjusted to normalize EBITDAC by removing any non-reoccurring transactions that are not in the normal course of operations.  ** Copies of NWE's financial statements, MD&A and other public filings are available under the company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
