CALGARY, May 30, 2018 /CNW/ - New West Energy Services Inc. (TSX Venture: NWE), an oil and gas and environmental services company focused on Western Canada, today announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
CHANGE IN FINANCIAL YEAR-END
NWE has changed its financial year-end from April 30 to December 31 to better conform with other similar energy services companies in the industry and to line up the company's quarterly filings with more traditional quarters. Consequently, in this new financial year commencing January 1, 2018, NWE is reporting unaudited first quarter interim financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2017.
Going forward, NWE will use a customary quarterly reporting calendar based on a December 31 financial year-end, with fiscal quarters ending on the last day in March, June, September and December each year.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Gerry E. Kerkhoff, President and Chief Executive Officer of NWE stated "New West had a very successful first quarter in terms of continued top line growth with revenue closing in on $8 million. Our drilling services equipment was at near full utilization and we continued to land large projects in completions and production in the Duvernay and Montney plays which is expected to lead our company's growth for the foreseeable future."
Mr. Kerkhoff continued "As predicted, however, our gross margin was depressed due to higher than normal repair and maintenance expenses associated with the fluid hauling equipment acquired in March 2017 and a greater reliance on lower margin third party contractors and owner operators needed to complete larger projects."
Mr. Kerkhoff concluded "Looking forward, we expect gross margin to increase considerably starting in the third quarter of 2018 as service rates increase due to stronger demand, equipment costs normalize and we complete major equipment repairs that will increase our higher margin revenue generating units by approximately 45% and reduce our reliance on lower margin third party contractors and owner operators."
