Enseco Energy Services Corp. Announces Results for Quarter Ending June 30, 2011

29/09/2011 2:40pm

Marketwired Canada


Enseco Energy Services Corp. ("Enseco" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:ENS)
announces its financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2011.


Operational Highlights 

Despite wet weather prolonging the spring breakup throughout Western Canada and
North Dakota this year, Enseco revenues increased 33% to $10.6 million from the
same time period last year.


Enseco opened a new MWD repair and maintenance facility in April 2011. The
companies MWD technicians have made a number of significant improvements to the
MWD downhole tools. These enhancements have resulted in increased service
quality, quicker turnaround of equipment and almost eliminated the need for
third party rental equipment.


Enseco paid down its principal debt by approximately $1.3 million this quarter
from cash flows. With strong activity and margins forecast, Enseco continues to
execute its business plan to use increasing cash flows to aggressively pay down
its loans and borrowings. 


Enseco increased its dedicated North Dakota frac flowback fleet from 7 to 9
units with a 10th unit scheduled for startup in October.

Outlook

Activity levels in Enseco's operating areas of Western Canada and the North
Dakota and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States continue to be very
strong, particularly following the wet spring quarter. It is expected that
demand for Enseco's services in both divisions will be at record levels
throughout the rest of the year.


Continued emphasis on resource play horizontal drilling will keep demand for
both directional drilling services and production testing flow back services at
a premium this year.


With the engineering improvements and reductions in rebuild times now available
through Enseco's in-house Measurement while Drilling lab, it is expected that
its rental requirements will remain minimal as activity continues to grow
throughout the year. 


With the increased revised gross margins, strong activity, minimal rentals and
reduced repair costs, it is expected that Enseco will realize stronger revised
gross margins throughout the remainder of the year. 


At the time of this press release, Enseco is expecting record results for the
month of August.


Share Consolidation and Option Grants

Enseco is also pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has decided to
proceed with the consolidation the Company's issued and outstanding common
shares on the basis of ten (10) pre-consolidated shares for one (1)
post-consolidated share, as more particularly described in the Company's
information circular - proxy statement dated April 4, 2011, which was approved
by the Company's shareholders on May 9, 2011. Enseco does not intent to change
its name in conjunction with the consolidation.


Enseco believes that the consolidation will benefit the Company on a go forward
basis by: (i) generating greater investor interest, (ii) increasing liquidity
for shareholders, and (iii) enabling the Company to be better able to respond to
the demands of the capital markets. The Company currently has 195,983,719 common
shares outstanding, which after giving effect to the proposed consolidation,
would result in the Company having approximately 19,598,372 common shares
outstanding. Completion of the consolidation is subject to the final acceptance
of the TSX Venture Exchange.


Enseco also announces that its Board of Directors has approved the grant of an
aggregate of 6,900,000 stock options to various officers, employees and
consultants of the Company. The options will have an exercise price equal to the
closing market price of the Company's common shares on the date that is five
trading days after the Company has released its June 30, 2011 financial
statements. The options will vest at the rate of one third per year commencing
on the grant date and will expire five years thereafter. Executive officers of
the Company will receive an aggregate of 1.4 million of the options granted.

NON-IFRS MEASURES

EBITDAS means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization,
and stock-based compensation and is equal to earnings before income taxes from
continuing operations plus interest on debt, other charges and interest expense,
depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, unrealized foreign
exchange loss, and loss on sale of equipment. Cash flow means cash flows
provided by continuing operations before changes in non-cash working capital
items. Revised gross margin is calculated as revenues less direct costs.
EBITDAS, cash flows from continuing operations before changes in non-cash
working capital, and revised gross margin are not recognized measures under
IFRS. Management believes that in addition to net losses, EBITDAS, cash flows
from continuing operations before changes in non-cash working capital, and
revised gross margin are useful supplemental measures as they provide an
indication of the results generated by the Company's primary business activities
prior to consideration of how those activities are financed, amortized or how
the results are taxed in various jurisdictions as well as the cash generated by
the Company's primary business activities. Readers should be cautioned, however,
EBITDAS, cash flows from continuing operations before changes in non-cash
working capital, and revised gross margin should not be construed as an
alternative to net losses determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of
Enseco's performance. Enseco's method of calculating EBITDAS, cash flows from
continuing operations before changes in non-cash working capital, and revised
gross margin may differ from other organizations and, accordingly, EBITDAS, cash
flows from continuing operations before changes in non cash working capital, and
revised gross margin may not be comparable to measures used by other
organizations. See the Non-IFRS section in the Company's Management's Discussion
and Analysis for a reconciliation of these non-IFRS measures to the Company's
Financial Statements.
