Divestco Inc. (TSX VENTURE:DVT) ("Divestco" or the "Company") announces its
operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.
Three months ended June 30, 2012
Divestco generated net income for the second quarter of 2012 of $940,000 ($0.01
per share - basic and diluted) compared to $235,000 ($nil per share - basic and
diluted) for the same period in 2011. EBITDA was $4.3 million in Q2 2012, a $2.4
million (120%) increase from $1.9 million for the same period in 2011. The
Company generated funds from operations of $4.3 million ($0.06 per share - basic
and diluted) for the second quarter of 2012, an increase of $2.2 million (106%)
as compared to $2.1 million ($0.03 per share - basic and diluted) for the same
period in 2011. EBITDA and funds from operations do not include capital
expenditures of $1.2 million, mainly comprised of the cost of acquiring new
seismic surveys data during Q2 2012.
During Q1 2012, Divestco generated revenue of $11.5 million compared to $10.6
million in Q2 2011, an increase of $0.9 million (8%). Revenue in the Seismic
Data segment increased by $1.4 million (36%) as the Company had two large
transactions occur during the quarter. These included a large seismic data
license sale and the discontinuance of a legal claim resulting in a settlement
of an undisclosed amount. This offset lower seismic participation revenue than
Q2 2011. Revenue in the Services segment was down by $261,000 (6%) as the demand
for land management services was weaker while seismic processing and geomatics
was stronger. Revenue in the Software and Data segment decreased by $271,000
(11%) due to lower software and support data revenues offset by higher log data
revenues.
Operating expenses decreased by $1.5 million (17%) to $7.2 million in Q2 2012
from $8.7 million in Q2 2011. Salaries and wages were down $655,000 (13%) mainly
due to lower headcounts. General and administrative costs were down $836,000
(23%) mainly due to lower occupancy costs as the Company surrendered a number of
floors of office space in 2011. This was partially offset by increase in bad
debt and stock based compensation expenses. Depreciation and amortization
increased by $1.5 million (97%) due to the completion of a seismic participation
survey in Q2 2012.
Six months ended June 30, 2012
Divestco generated net income for the first six months of 2012 of $3.6 million
($0.05 per share - basic and diluted) compared to a net loss of $4.1 million
($0.07 per share - basic and diluted) for the same period in 2011. EBITDA was
$11.7 million, a $10.6 million (980%) increase from $1.1 million for the same
period in 2011. The Company generated funds from operations of $11.5 million
($0.17 per share - basic and diluted) for the first six months of 2012, an
increase of $10.3 million (858%) as compared to $1.2 million ($0.02per share -
basic and diluted) for the same period in 2011. EBITDA and funds from operations
do not include capital expenditures of $9.8 million, mainly comprised of the
cost of acquiring new seismic surveys data during the six months ended June 30,
2012.
During the first half of 2012, Divestco generated revenue of $25.9 million
compared to $19.5 million in Q2 2011, an increase of $6.4 million (33%). Revenue
in the Seismic Data segment increased by $6.6 million (125%) as the Company had
two large transactions occur during the quarter. These included a large seismic
data license sale and a discontinuance of a legal claim resulting in a
settlement of an undisclosed amount. In addition, Divestco completed three 3D
seismic participation surveys. Revenue in the Services segment was up by
$198,000 (2%) as the demand for land management services was weaker while
seismic processing and geomatics was stronger. Revenue in the Software and Data
segment decreased by $319,000 (7%) due to lower software and support data
revenues offset by higher log data revenues.
Operating expenses decreased by $4.2 million (23%) to $14.2 million for the
first six months 2012 from $18.4 million for the same period in 2011. Salaries
and wages were down $1 million (10%) mainly due to lower headcounts and
severance costs. General and administrative costs were down $3.1 million (39%)
mainly due to lower occupancy costs as the Company surrendered a number of
floors of office space in 2011. This was partially offset by increase in bad
debt and stock based compensation expenses. Depreciation and amortization
increased by $3.3 million (66%) due to the completion of three seismic
participation surveys in the first half of 2012.
Working capital
As at June 30, 2012, Divestco had working capital of $403,000 (excluding
deferred revenue of $5.2 million) compared to working capital of $297,000
(excluding deferred revenue of $4.6 million) as at December 31, 2011. The
increase was primarily due to the Company entering into a number of large data
related transactions during Q2 2012 offset by seismic expenditures incurred
during the six months ended June 30, 2012 as well as $1.7 million of a
subordinated loan was classified as a current liability as at June 30, 2012 as
the loan matures in May 2013.
Seismic Data Update
During the first six months of 2012, Divestco completed three 3D seismic
participation surveys (Brazeau, Big Valley and Ante Creek), covering an area of
approximately 389 square kilometers. Total cost for the three seismic surveys
was $14.3 million, with $5.1 million incurred in 2011.
Mr. Stephen Popadynetz, CEO, President and CFO: "Over the last two years
Divestco has made great strides to improve its efficiencies and to cut its
costs. In the second quarter of 2012, we are finally starting to see the
fruition of these efforts and we produced another profitable quarter. As well,
Divestco has taken great strides to strengthening its financial position and
balance sheet. We are also pleased with the progress we have made towards
rebuilding our seismic data library. To date we have added more than 770 square
kilometers of seismic to our library. Overall demand for seismic data and
general activity levels in the industry is trending positively and Divestco is
currently reviewing over 50M of new seismic programs for the coming year. With
the strong cost cutting measures taken over the last two years in place,
Divestco is on a well positioned path for sustained profitability and growth. We
look forward to continue delivering positive earnings and better results for our
shareholders."
Non-GAAP and Additional GAAP Measures
The Company's condensed consolidated interim 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. While these measures may not be comparable to similar measures
presented by other issuers, they are described and presented in this MD&A to
provide shareholders and potential investors with additional information
regarding the Company's results, liquidity, and its ability to generate funds to
finance its operations. These measures include:
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA")
Divestco uses EBITDA as a key measure to evaluate the performance of its
segments and divisions as well as the Company overall, with the closest IFRS
measure being net income or loss. EBITDA is a measure 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 assists 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 is not a calculation based on IFRS and should not be considered
alternatives to net income or loss in measuring the Company's performance. As
well, EBITDA should not be used as an exclusive measure of cash flow, because it
does 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 statements of cash flows. While EBITDA has 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 as reported by Divestco may not be
comparable in all instances to EBITDA as reported by other companies. Investors
should also carefully consider the specific items included in Divestco's
computation of EBITDA.
The following is a reconciliation of EBITDA with net income (loss):

Funds from operations
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 and investing activities. Funds from operations excludes
certain working capital changes and other sources and uses of cash, which are
disclosed in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Funds from operations is not a calculation based on IFRS and should not be
considered an alternative to the consolidated statements 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 IFRS
measure is cash 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.
The following reconciles funds from operations with cash from operating activities:

Working capital
Working Capital is calculated as current assets minus current liabilities
(excluding deferred revenue). Working capital provides a measure that can be
used to gauge Divestco's ability to meet its current obligations.

This press release contains forward-looking information related to the Company's
capital expenditures, projected growth, view and outlook towards future oil and
gas prices and market conditions, and demand for its products and services.
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. 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. 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.
In particular, this press release contains forward-looking statements pertaining
to the following: Company's ability to keep debt and liquidity at acceptable
levels, improve/maintain its working capital position 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; 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; impact of Canadian federal and
provincial governmental regulation on the Company; expected levels of operating
costs, finance costs and other costs and expenses; future ability to execute
acquisitions and 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; and new accounting pronouncements.
These forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions including: future
prices for crude oil and natural gas; future interest rates and future
availability of debt and equity financing will be at levels and costs that allow
the Company to manage, operate and finance its business and develop its software
products and various oil and gas datasets including its seismic data library,
and meet its future obligations; the regulatory framework in respect of
royalties, taxes and environmental matters applicable to the Company and its
customers will not become so onerous on both the Company and its customers as to
preclude the Company and its customers from viably managing, operating and
financing its business and the development of its software and data; and that
the Company will continue to be able to identify, attract and employ qualified
staff and obtain the outside expertise as well as specialized and other
equipment it requires to manage, operate and finance its business and develop
its properties. 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 conditions; 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 regulation.
