Gemini Corporation (TSX VENTURE:GKX) today announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. Revenues for 2007 totalled just over $67 million, which was a 21% decrease from the $85 million generated in 2006. Continuing weakness in the natural gas market, high field installation costs and uncertainties around Alberta royalties all combined to dampen activity levels for Gemini throughout the year. The Field Services segment experienced lower revenues in the first half of the year due to client delays on some key projects. These projects became much more active near mid-year and, coupled with the strong third quarter maintenance activity, resulted in increased revenues in the second half of the year. Engineering, on the other hand, experienced declining revenues throughout the year primarily as a result of the stagnant natural gas market and limited success in securing projects in other sectors. Sales and marketing efforts began to generate increased opportunities toward the end of the year and as a result Gemini entered 2008 with its highest booked order backlog in history. The scheduled timing of this backlog increases as 2008 unfolds and thus revenues for the first quarter should be similar to the fourth quarter of 2007. Fourth quarter 2007 revenues were off nearly $5 million at $16.9 million compared to the $21.7 million achieved in the same period of 2006. This shortfall has a great deal to do with the strong fourth quarter revenues for 2006 which were driven by the bitumen pipeline project completed late in that year. Approximately $1.5 million of the difference was attributable to the decline in 2007 engineering activity mentioned previously. Gross profits as a percent of revenues increased in 2007 to 20.2% from 18.6% in the prior year. This improvement was principally driven by enhanced project cost controls which are expected to continue producing positive results in future periods. Staff utilization challenges continued to be an issue within the Engineering segment as activity levels declined, but modest improvements were beginning to be achieved near the end of the year. Additional emphasis on managing this key metric is expected to produce improving margins through 2008. Although earnings improved in the second half of 2007 they were insufficient to offset the losses incurred up to June 30th. As a result, a net loss of $264,000 or 1.0 cents per share was incurred for 2007 compared to net earnings of $1.2 million or 3.1 cents per share in 2006. Efforts were undertaken to control spending to improve gross profits and reduce administrative expenses as a result of revenue shortfalls. Administrative costs were reduced nearly $1 million in the last half of the year compared to those incurred in the first half. This was achieved through staff reductions, subletting of surplus office space and tightened spending on variable costs. Efforts are continuing to identify further cost containment measures that will not impede the Corporation's future growth. "2007 was a year that many of us in the service sector are glad is over", said Carl Johnson, Gemini's President and CEO. "We entered the year with an objective to grow our heavy oil activity to offset some of the challenges in other parts of the oil and gas industry. Although certain projects were slow to start, we significantly increased our presence in that market and exited the year with the largest backlog in Gemini's 25-year history. This sets the stage for stronger results in 2008 especially when you consider the trimming we completed in 2007 to make us a leaner organization."
