Lonestar West Reports Record Year End Results

Lonestar West Inc. (TSX VENTURE:LSI) today announced record revenues, earnings
and EBITDAC with the release of financial results for Fiscal 2013 ended June
30th. 


Lonestar achieved strong performance throughout the 2013 fiscal year driven by
rapid expansion of its fleet size that exceeded projected growth targets.
Aggressive geographical expansion continued with the establishment of the U.S.
operations in California and Oklahoma. 


Highlights for the fiscal year include: 



--  Revenues increased 49.8% to $27,895,601 from $18,618,413 in the previous
    fiscal year. 
--  EBITDAC increased 38.6% to $4,181,410 compared to $3,016,609 in the
    previous fiscal year. 
--  EBITDAC per share rose 25% to $0.25 from $0.20 in the previous fiscal
    year.  
--  Earnings before taxes increased 11.5% to $1,939,400 in comparison to the
    $1,740,095 earnings before taxes in the previous fiscal year. 
--  Net earnings for the year were $1,446,429 an increase of 10.5% in
    comparison to the $1,308,708 net earnings in the previous fiscal year. 



The Company also reported results for the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2013, ended
June 30th. 




--  Revenues increased 39.8% to $6,212,254 from $4,442,167 in the previous
    year equivalent quarter. 
--  EBITDAC decreased 47.0% to $201,869 compared to $380,645 in the previous
    year equivalent quarter. 
--  EBITDAC per share decreased 66.7% to $0.01 from $0.03 for the
    corresponding quarters as a result in part of the issuance of 2.17
    million shares in F2013 for gross proceeds of approximately $3 million. 
--  Loss before taxes was $540,130 a $575,153 decrease in comparison to the
    $35,023 earnings before taxes in the previous year equivalent quarter. 
--  Net loss for the quarter was $455,999 compared to a net loss of $197,824
    in the previous year equivalent quarter.



The Company experienced strong revenues in the fourth quarter as a result of
management implementing its strategy of growing its fleet and market presence in
Western Canada and in the U.S. In order to achieve this strategy, the Company
increased its infrastructure to support current and future growth by adding
bases in California, Oklahoma, Alberta, and Manitoba, as well as hiring
additional personnel to accommodate the growth. Although these increased costs
have had a direct impact on fourth quarter earnings and EBITDAC, management
believes they are an essential part of executing the growth strategy of the
Company. 


The fourth quarter is historically the Company's slowest quarter due to the
negative impact of spring break up on utilization rates. In addition to normal
spring breakup there were extraordinary weather conditions experienced during
this fourth quarter such as the flooding in Alberta and tornados in Oklahoma
that had a direct impact on the Company's utilization rates for the fourth
quarter, and thereby had a direct impact on the earnings and EBITDAC. 


The Company is focused on continuing its expansion program by increasing its
fleet of HVAC and Vacuum trucks. Subsequent to June 30, 2013, Lonestar added 9
units to its fleet to bring the total to 62 units available to work. Dependent
upon the delivery schedule of HVAC and Vacuum units, management estimates that
it will add an additional 13 units by December 31, 2013 which would bring the
total of units available to approximately 75. 


"Lonestar management is extremely pleased with our achievements in Fiscal 2013"
said James Horvath, CEO and President of Lonestar. "We are positioned for
further strong growth throughout Canada and the U.S. and are well financed to
achieve this as a result of our recent $10 million bought deal financing".
