DENVER, CO — (Marketwire) — 01/15/13 — ENSERVCO Corporation (OTCQB: ENSV), a provider of well-site services to the domestic onshore conventional and unconventional oil and gas industries, today announced preliminary, unaudited fourth quarter revenue of $11.4 million, the Company–s strongest-ever quarterly top-line results and a 78% increase versus the $6.4 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2011. The Company also reported preliminary, unaudited full-year revenue of a record $32.1 million, up 30% from $24.7 million in fiscal 2011.
The top-line growth during the fourth quarter was fueled by strong demand at the Company–s flagship Heat Waves well-enhancement division, which expects to report record quarterly revenue of $9.9 million, up 115% versus $4.6 million in the comparable year-ago quarter. The results exceeded by 30% Heat Waves– prior quarterly revenue record of $7.6 million.
Rick Kasch, president and CFO, said, “The strong growth at Heat Waves resulted from successful execution of a number of initiatives over the past year, including entry into new higher-margin service territories, the addition of several new customers, and an ongoing expansion of our equipment fleet. We also benefitted from more normal winter weather during the fourth quarter in our service regions as compared to the record warm temperatures experienced across the country during the 2011-2012 winter. The $5.2 million quarter-over-quarter improvement at Heat Waves more than offset a comparatively small reduction in fourth quarter revenue at our fluid logistics division.”
Kasch said the fourth quarter top-line results are expected to fuel a significant improvement in ENSERVCO–s bottom-line performance for both the fourth quarter and full fiscal year. The Company expects to report audited full-year financial results during the second or third week of March.
“We are enjoying a strong start to 2013,” Kasch added. “We recently commenced frac heating work with four of the five largest oil and gas companies operating in eastern Ohio–s Utica Shale region, and also are seeing robust demand in our Rocky Mountain, Northeast and Central U.S. service territories. We are very encouraged by the current strength of our markets and believe we are well positioned to deliver continued operational and financial growth going forward.”
Through its various operating subsidiaries, ENSERVCO has emerged as one of the energy service industry–s leading providers of hot oiling, acidizing, frac heating and fluid management services. The Company owns and operates a fleet of more than 245 specialized trucks, trailers, frac tanks and related well-site equipment.
