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

New West Energy Services Inc. (CNW Group/New West Energy Services Inc.)

CALGARY, Nov. 28, 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 third quarter of 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 third quarter interim financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the nine months ended October 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 "Since 2016, New West has recorded top line improvement driven primarily by growth in our Vacuum Truck and Fluid Transportation Services division.  In the third quarter, our drilling services equipment was at near full utilization and recorded a 71% increase in revenue from the year before, but our revenue from completions and production was down 49% due to producers delaying projects as a result of deteriorating market conditions."

Mr. Kerkhoff continued: "Over the past two months, the decrease in the price of benchmark WTI crude and a sharp increase in the price differential between US and Canadian crude has created industry volatility.  Management expects sector fundamentals to improve in 2019 with an increase in rail transportation capacity, the completion of the Enbridge Inc. Line 3 pipeline replacement and additional U.S. refineries going online following maintenance shutdowns.  Overall equipment rates have started to increase, which should help to improve our margins.  Also, we have completed major repairs on our fluid transportation equipment, which has reduced our reliance on low margin third-party contractors.  Subject to increasing activity in the completions and production sector, management expects top and bottom line improvement in the fourth quarter of 2018 and first quarter of 2019."

  • Revenue was $14,827,975 in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $14,588,531 in the nine months ended October 31, 2017, and $4,297,083 in the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $5,515,060 in the three months ended October 31, 2017. While there was a consistency between the two nine-month periods, in the current period, NWE realized much stronger revenue in the first quarter which was offset by a significant decrease in revenue in the second and third quarters – mostly due to a longer period of spring break up across all sectors and a reduction in completions activity in the third quarter.
  • Gross margin decreased to 15% in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from 19% in the nine months ended October 31, 2017, due primarily to a significant reduction in revenue in the second and third quarter of 2018 with an increase proportionally in direct costs, including higher fuel and labour costs relative to NWE's service rates and proportionally higher repair and maintenance costs for equipment in the first and second quarter. In the three months ended September 30, 2018, gross margin increased to 26% when compared to 21% in the three months ended October 31, 2017. This increase is due primarily to the Vacuum Truck and Fluid Transportation Services division where, in the drilling sector, revenue increased by 71% and gross margin improved from 28 to 35%. In the completions and production sectors, revenue decreased by 49% but was offset by a significant decrease in associated expenses, coupled with a decrease in reliance on low margin third-party contractors, resulting in gross margin decreasing slightly from 13 to 11%.
  • General and administrative expenses were $2,777,314 in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $2,509,516 in the nine months ended October 31, 2017, due mainly to expenses associated with the hiring of personnel and the continued establishment of operations in Grande Prairie servicing the completions and production sectors, and $901,188 in the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $910,310 in the three months ended October 31, 2017, reflecting a consistency between the two reporting periods.
  • Normalized EBITDAC was $19,875 in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $779,765 in the nine months ended October 31, 2017, and $224,655 in the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $243,573 in the three months ended October 31, 2017.
