Gemini Corporation (TSX VENTURE:GKX) today announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. Revenues for 2009 totalled $75 million compared to the $78 million achieved in 2008. Fourth quarter revenues for 2009 were $21 million, which was 10% higher than the revenues achieved in the same period of 2008. The revenue growth for the quarter was primarily attributable to Field Solutions projects completed in relation to heavy oil developments. Overall, the availability of project opportunities was subdued throughout 2009 as clients implemented stringent capital spending constraints. The Corporation's breadth of services helped to offset some of the effects of this reduced capital spending by taking advantage of the push toward debottlenecking of facilities and increased maintenance activity. A certain level of optimism for a gradual increase in capital spending is beginning to take hold in the oil and gas market and therefore revenues are anticipated to strengthen through 2010. Competitive pressures driven by the uncertainty of the recession had a negative impact upon pricing and thus profitability remained well below expectations. This condition was most pronounced in the last half of the year as field activity began to increase at lower margins. In addition, general and administrative costs increased through 2009 as business development resources were augmented to respond to the more competitive environment and senior management personnel were brought in for succession planning and to position the organization for growth as the economy recovers. The net loss for 2009 of $127,000 (0.4 cents per share) was significantly lower than the 2008 net earnings of $3.0 million (8.4 cents per share). The land sales completed last year positively impacted net earnings by $3,015,000 and therefore the operating performance was a net loss of $23,000. The economic conditions over the past two years have challenged the profitability of the Corporation and as a result management has completed a comprehensive strategic review. This review has resulted in a number of actions being taken to reposition Gemini for growth as the economic conditions begin to improve. The company has been restructured and rebranded under the Gemini name, increased resources have been directed toward business development and client relationships, and the fixed infrastructure of the organization is under heightened scrutiny. "Last year continued to be a difficult time for most companies in the service industry", said Doug Lautermilch, Gemini's President and CEO. "The economic uncertainty was very high and the resultant project opportunities were extremely competitive. Stepping into Gemini mid-year afforded me only a short time to assess the situation before beginning to chart a new course for the company as the economy recovers. The results for 2009 generally reflect our position of having to weather the economic storm. During this period, various efforts have been initiated to fundamentally improve Gemini's profit performance. These efforts will require a concerted commitment on the part of Gemini's entire management team to lead the organization to improving results in 2010 and beyond."
