Lonestar West Announces Q1 2016 Financial Results
(firmenpresse) - SYLVAN LAKE, ALBERTA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/25/16 -- Lonestar West Inc. (TSX VENTURE: LSI) today announced the financial results for the three months period ended March 31, 2016.
The results for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 reflect the increasingly challenging North American industry conditions due to continued low oil and natural gas prices which, in turn, has resulted in substantially lower industry activity levels. This has resulted in significant pricing pressure in areas exposed to low commodity prices, due to reduced customer demand and heightened competition for non-energy related projects. To the extent possible, the Company will attempt to mitigate these factors through the diversification of revenues, increased utilization of existing assets through relocation to geographical areas which have higher demand, and implementing cost saving measure by streamlining operations.
Highlights for the three months ended March 31, 2016 include:
"All Lonestar employees and their families are safe following the wildfires that began on May 3, 2016, and are ongoing in and around our Fort McMurray, Alberta location. Lonestar has not suffered any equipment or facility damage to date, and we are working with the municipality and our customers in the area to ensure we are prepared to assist in restoring services and rebuilding infrastructure," commented James Horvath, President and CEO of Lonestar. "In the first quarter of fiscal 2016 the Company has capitalized on the opportunity provided by the downturn in the oil and gas markets to improve the bench strength of our management team, to better position Lonestar for long term growth and success. The first quarter was adversely impacted by weather, and depressed energy markets, so management is focused on increasing business development efforts and repositioning operations to areas less sensitive to the fluctuations in energy prices."
The Company is continuing to intensify its focus on cost control while maintaining superior service to its customer base. In addition, the Company is continually assessing the location of its fleet and redeploys assets to areas less impacted by the energy markets.
The Company believes that the United States market for Hydrovac services is still in its early stages of development. Lonestar forecasts the increasing acceptance of the Hydrovac technology across numerous sectors throughout the United States will continue, and that the Company is well positioned to capitalize on these opportunities.
