Gemini Corporation Reports 2009 Second Quarter Results

28/08/2009 7:00pm

Marketwired Canada


Gemini Corporation (TSX VENTURE:GKX) today announced its second quarter
financial results for the period ended June 30, 2009.


Revenue in the second quarter totalled $15,226,000, a 23% decline from the
$19,852,000 achieved in the same period of 2008, bringing year to date revenues
for 2009 to $30,022,000 compared to $38,574,000 for 2008. The ongoing economic
uncertainty has significantly impacted new construction activity in the oil and
gas sector, which has dampened revenues for the Corporation's Field Services
segment and has lead to these declines. Gemini's Engineering segment has been
impacted less severely by the recession and is anticipating revenues will remain
at or near the levels achieved in the second quarter. Demand for services
related to maintenance, debottlenecking and upgrades are continuing to generate
opportunities. Sales and marketing efforts are focussing on existing client
opportunities as well as new markets and new clients to continue broadening the
revenue base.


Gross profits for the second quarter of 2009 were $4,351,000 or 28% of revenue
compared to $3,379,000 or 17% of revenue in the same period last year. This
improvement continues to be the result of greater staff utilization rates within
Engineering and improving project cost controls within Field Services. Client
pressures to reduce costs are having an impact upon margins, but important steps
are being taken to mitigate the effects of these pressures through increased
efficiencies and enhanced use of existing infrastructure.


"Given the market conditions in the second quarter, we are encouraged by the
financial results we were able to achieve", said Carl Johnson, Gemini's
Executive Chairman. "Our emphasis on providing quality services in a safe
manner, while improving utilization and cost controls is having a positive
impact upon our profitability in the midst of this challenging economy."


"As the new member of Gemini's executive team, I am excited by the prospects for
the organization", commented Doug Lautermilch, Gemini's new President and CEO.
"We are in a financially strong position to take advantage of the inevitable
turnaround in our markets and we are currently re-examining our strategic plans
to ensure they align with the needs of our clients and the anticipated economic
conditions for the next few years."
