Divestco Inc. ("Divestco" or the "Company")(TSX VENTURE:DVT) announces its operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Accounting Policy Changes
On January 1, 2011, Divestco adopted International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") for purposes of financial reporting, using a transition date of January 1, 2010. Accordingly, the Company's condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and the comparative information for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). Previously, the Company prepared its interim and annual consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("previous GAAP"). The adoption of IFRS has not had an impact on the Company's operations and strategic decisions.
Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2011
Divestco realized net income for the third quarter of 2011 of $255,000 ($nil per share - basic and diluted) compared to a net loss of $49.7 million ($1.18 per share - basic and diluted) for the same period in 2010. Excluding an accounting loss of $40.9 million related to the sale of the Company's seismic data assets in Q3 2010, the increase was mainly due to a reduction in operating expenses of $9.5 million (55%).
During Q3 2011, Divestco generated revenue of $9.6 million compared to $8.5 million in Q3 2010, an increase of $1.1 million (12%). EBITDA was $1.7 million in Q3 2011, a $10.5 million increase from a loss of $8.8 million for the same period in 2010. The Company generated funds from operations of $1.6 million ($0.03 per share - basic and diluted) for the third quarter of 2011, compared to negative funds from operations of $6.3 million ($0.15 per share - basic and diluted) for the same period in 2010, an increase of 7.9 million.
Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011
Divestco realized a net loss for the first nine months of 2011 of $3.8 million ($0.06 per share - basic and diluted) compared to a net loss of $58.5 million ($1.39 per share - basic and diluted) for the same period in 2010. Excluding an accounting loss of $40.9 million related to the sale of the Company's seismic data assets in Q3 2010, the improvement from 2010 was primarily due to the following:
- Decrease in general and administrative expenses of $3.5 million (23%) mainly due to a large bad debt expense incurred in 2010 and not repeated in 2011
- Sublease loss provision of $2.1 million incurred in 2010
- Reduction in salaries by $1.7 million (11%)
- Reduction in finance costs of $1.8 million (78%), primarily resulting from lower interest on long-term debt
- Decrease in depreciation and amortization by $18.8 million (76%)
During the first nine months of 2011, Divestco generated revenue of $29 million, a decrease of $2.2 million (7%) from $31.2 million for the same period in 2010. EBITDA was $2.8 million, a $5.6 million increase from a loss of $2.8 million for the same period in 2010. The Company generated funds from operations of $2.8 million ($0.05 per share - basic and diluted) for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared a negative $1.9 million ($0.05 per share - basic and diluted) for the same period in 2010, an increase of 4.7 million.
Late in 2010, Divestco commenced rebuilding its seismic data library by initiating a 71 square kilometer 3D seismic survey which was completed in early 2011. The Company also obtained the trading rights to an existing 3D survey covering an adjacent area of 66 square kilometers in Q1 2011 through a data exchange. In Q2 2011, the Company commenced a 3D survey in central Alberta which was completed in October 2011 and covers an area of approximately 200 square kilometers. In Q3 2011, Divestco commenced a small 3D survey and completed it in October 2011.
Mr. Stephen Popadynetz, CEO, President and CFO: "We are continuing to positively restructure our Company and as a result, we have incurred several one time expenses which will not impact the Company going forward. Despite these charges, Divestco had a profitable quarter and continues to improve on its cash flow. Our results will continue to reflect the changes we have made and we are anticipating improved results going forward. We are well on track to sustained profitability and positive earnings and we look forward to delivering better results as the year progresses for our shareholders."
Non-GAAP Measures
The Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. Certain measures in this document do not have any standardized meaning as prescribed by IFRS and are considered non-GAAP measures.
Divestco uses EBITDA and operating income as key measures to evaluate the performance of segments, divisions and the Company, with the closest GAAP measure being net income. EBITDA and operating income are measures commonly reported and widely used by investors as indicators of the Company's operating performance and ability to incur and service debt, and as a valuation metric. The Company believes EBITDA and operating income assist investors in comparing the Company's performance on a consistent basis without regard to financing decisions, and depreciation and amortization, which are non-cash in nature and can vary significantly depending upon accounting methods or non-operating factors such as historical cost.
EBITDA and operating income are not calculations based on IFRS and should not be considered alternatives to net income in measuring the Company's performance; nor should they be used as exclusive measures of cash flow, because they do not consider the impact of working capital growth, capital expenditures, debt principal reductions and other sources and uses of cash, which are disclosed in the consolidated statement of cash flows. Investors should carefully consider the specific items included in Divestco's computation of EBITDA and operating income. While EBITDA and operating income have been disclosed herein to permit a more complete comparative analysis of the Company's operating performance and debt servicing ability relative to other companies, investors should be cautioned that EBITDA and operating income as reported by Divestco may not be comparable in all instances to EBITDA and operating income as reported by other companies.
EBITDA is calculated as follows:
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30 September 30 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Thousands) 2011 2010 2011 2010 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Income (Loss) $ 255 $(49,685) $ (3,842) $(58,457) Income Tax Expense (Benefit) (4) (9,611) 61 (12,920) Other Loss (Income) (29) 41,500 (27) 41,406 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating Income (Loss) $ 222 $(17,796) $ (3,808) $(29,971) Finance costs 303 1,233 507 2,325 Depreciation and Amortization 1,167 7,753 6,081 24,847 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- EBITDA 1,692 (8,810) 2,780 (2,799) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Divestco reports funds from operations because it is a key measure used by management to evaluate its performance and to assess the ability of the Company to finance operating activities and capital expenditures. Funds from operations excludes certain working capital changes and other sources and uses of cash, which are disclosed in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
Funds from operations is not a calculation based on IFRS and should not be considered an alternative to the consolidated statement of cash flows. Funds from operations is a measure that can be used to gauge Divestco's capacity to generate discretionary cash flow. Investors should be cautioned that funds from operations as reported by Divestco may not be comparable in all instances to funds from operations as reported by other companies. While the closest GAAP measure is cash flows from operating activities, funds from operations is considered relevant because it provides an indication of how much cash generated by operations is available before proceeds from divested assets and changes in certain working capital items.
Funds from operations is calculated as follows:

Statements that contain words such as "could', "should", "can", "anticipate", "expect", "believe", "will", "may" and similar expressions and statements relating to matters that are not historical facts constitute "forward-looking information" within the meaning applicable by Canadian securities legislation. Although management of the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking information are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct because, should one or more of the risks materialize, or should the assumptions underlying forward-looking statements or forward-looking information prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in this press release as intended, planned, anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. Except where required by law, the Company does not assume any obligation to update these forward-looking statements or forward-looking information if conditions or opinions should change. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements or forward- looking information. All of the forward-looking statements and forward-looking information of the Company contained in this press release are expressly qualified, in their entirety, by this cautionary statement.
In particular, this press release contains forward-looking statements pertaining to the following: the Company's ability to reduce debt, improve liquidity, correct its working capital deficiency and maintain profitability in the current economy; availability of external and internal funding for future operations; relative future competitive position of the Company; nature and timing of growth; future sales of the Company's seismic data library; oil and natural gas production levels; planned capital expenditure programs; supply and demand for oil and natural gas; future demand for products/services; commodity prices; fluctuations in interest rates; impact of Canadian federal and provincial governmental regulation on the Company; expected levels of operating costs, general administrative costs, costs of services and other costs and expenses; future ability to execute dispositions of assets or businesses; expectations regarding the Company's ability to raise capital and to add to seismic data through new seismic shoots and acquisition of existing seismic data; treatment under tax laws.

These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the Company's control, including: general economic, market and business condition; volatility in market prices for crude oil and natural gas; ability of Divestco's clients to explore for, develop and produce oil and gas; availability of financing and capital; fluctuations in interest rates; demand for the Company's product and services; weather and climate conditions; competitive actions by other companies; availability of skilled labour; failure to obtain regulatory approvals in a timely manner; adverse conditions in the debt and equity markets; and government actions including changes in environment and other regulations.
The TSXV has not reviewed nor accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this news release.
