Lonestar West Announces Q3 2016 Financial Results
(firmenpresse) - SYLVAN LAKE, ALBERTA -- (Marketwired) -- 11/29/16 -- Lonestar West Inc. (TSX VENTURE: LSI) today announced the financial results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016.
Highlights for the three months ended September 30, 2016 include:
The Company achieved normalized EBITDAC(2) of $74,041 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, which is a decrease from $1,562,412 for the prior year equivalent period. The normalized EBITDAC margin was 0.7% for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 as compared to 11.1% for the prior year comparable period. The decrease in normalized EBITDAC is due primarily to a significant decrease in revenue offset by a marginal decrease in operating expenses. In the third quarter the operating costs did not decrease with revenue as there were start-up costs to redeploy assets and obtain local crews.
Highlights for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 include:
The Company achieved normalized EBITDAC(2) of $2,126,002 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, which is a decrease from $4,389,551 for the prior year equivalent period. The normalized EBITDAC margin was 6.5% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 as compared to 11.5% for the prior year comparable period. The decrease in normalized EBITDAC for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 is related primarily to a lower gross margin in the first quarter of 2016 due to decreased pricing resulting from a more competitive operating environment. The other contributing factor to the decreased normalized EBITDAC for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 is related to the decreased revenue, start-up costs and costs to redeploy assets in the third quarter of 2016.
"Results for the third quarter were disappointing. As a result, we have taken a number of steps to effect stronger cost controls, and reduce overhead," commented James Horvath, President of Lonestar. "Our goal is to return the business to its historical operating and profit margins. The Company has taken steps to optimize the number and location of our bases in both Canada and the US, and we will continue to direct our business development activities on expanding in our most profitable locations."
