ThirdQuarter 2014Highlights
-
-Gross revenues were higher by 121 percent to $0.8 million compared to $0.3 million for the same quarter last year and were higher by 86 percent to $2.6 million compared to $1.4 million on a year-to-date basis, due to an increase in the number of Heating Units in operation in 2014 and the entry into the US during the first quarter of 2014.
=Corporation successfully negotiated and extinguished its royalty obligation in exchange for two million common shares of the Corporation at a fair value of $51,062. This resulted in recognizing a one-time gain on extinguishment of royalty obligation during the current quarter of $2.9 million.
-Corporation successfully refinanced its capital lease facility during the current quarter which resulted in repaying its existing capital lease obligation due to a major Canadian bank in full of $1.5 million and establishing a $2.5 million new capital lease facility repayable over five years.
-Corporation successfully paid down part of its $1 million notes payable revolving credit facility included in loans and borrowings, and the balance at the end September 30, 2014 was $0.5 million. An additional $0.2 million was drawn from this credit facility subsequent to third quarter for general working capital purposes.
-The Corporation had a total of 5 Heating Units operating in 2014 compared to only 2 Heating Units during the same period last year.
-During the first half of 2014 the Corporation successfully entered into the US and there were 3 Heating Unit working by the end of September 30, 2014 in the US. These were the first Heating Units working in the US and the Corporation is working on increasing the number of Heating Units in the US by the end of 2014.
-Net loss before other items for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was $0.5 million compared to a net loss before other items of $0.6 million, or a decrease in loss of 17 percent for the same quarter last year. The net loss before other items was $1.6 million compared to $1.4 million, or an increase in loss of 16 percent on a year-to-date basis compared to the same period last year, mainly due to an increase in overall operation costs.
-
Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was $2.2 million compared to a net loss of $0.7 million for the same quarter last year. The net income was $0.9 million compared to a net loss of $1.5 million on a year-to-date basis compared to the same period last year, mainly due to the one-time gain in the current quarter of $2.9 million on extinguishment of royalty obligation.
Commenting on third quarter 2014 results, Mr. Swapan Kakumanu, IES, Chief Financial Officer stated, "Our third quarter financial results show a greater quarter-over-quarter improvement on revenue growth compared to the same quarters of previous years. By successfully resolving the royalty liability obligation and refinancing the capital leases during the third quarter, the Corporation has a more flexible and stronger balance sheet to work with."
"We are currently evaluating and identifying new opportunities for the Corporation that will enable us to expand our operations throughout North America," commented Mr. Keith Morlock, President and Chief Operating Officer of IES. "I am currently working with the Board and our Management Team to develop a strategy of growth, profitability and diversification which is expected to provide a foundation for increased revenues and a positive bottom line."
