EQM Technologies & Energy, Inc. ANNOUNCEs SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
SECOND QUARTER RESULTS SHOW IMPROVEMENT
Cincinnati, OH, August 13, 2013 – EQM Technologies & Energy, Inc. (OTCQB: EQTE) (“EQM”), a leading provider of environmental services to government and commercial businesses, today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013.
Revenue from continuing operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 was $14.2 million compared to $12.3 million for the second quarter of the prior year. Operating income from continuing operations for the second quarter was $24 thousand compared to operating income from continuing operations of $60 thousand for the second quarter of 2012. Net loss for the second quarter was $0.2 million, or $0.00 per share, compared to a net loss of $1.2 million or $0.03 per share for the second quarter of 2012. EBITDA from continuing operations (earnings before discontinued operations, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the second quarter of 2013 was $0.4 million compared to $0.2 million in 2012. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations (earnings after EBITDA and before the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities) for the second quarter of 2013 was $0.4 million compared to $0.3 million in 2012.
Revenue from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $22.1 million compared to $24.2 million for the same period in 2012. Operating loss from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $1.1 million compared to operating loss from continuing operations of $0.2 million for the same period of 2012. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $1.5 million, or $0.04 per share, compared to a net loss of $0.7 million or $0.02 per share for the same period in 2012. EBITDA from continuing operations (earnings before discontinued operations, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was negative $0.3 million compared to positive $1.2 million for the same period in 2012. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations (earnings after EBITDA and before the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities) for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was negative $0.4 million compared to positive $0.2 million for the same period in 2012.
During the three months ended June 30, 2013, EQM was able to resume work on a number of Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and other government contract projects that, during the first quarter of 2013, were delayed on account of the federal budget sequester. However, we continue to experience some delays in funding of ongoing work and the start of new projects, which may adversely impact our revenue and our profitability.
“We remain encouraged that the EPA will continue to fund and authorize new projects under our six long-term master contracts with the EPA. On August 2, 2013 we were pleased to be awarded, and began working on immediately, a 26 month contract with a projected value of up to $40 million to provide remediation of contaminated sediments and habitat restoration along the Buffalo River in the greater Buffalo, NY area,” said Jon Colin, Interim Chief Executive Officer of EQM. “We believe that demand continues to be strong in the government sector and, coupled with the easing of the federal budget sequester, we believe that we are on the right track for reaching our revenue goals and profitably growing our business through leveraging existing customers and selected acquisitions,” continued Colin.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to the results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, in this press release, the Company presents EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, which are non-GAAP measures. EBITDA from continuing operations is determined by taking net loss and adding back the income (loss) from discontinued operations, amortization of intangible assets, depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and interest expense. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations further eliminates the impact of the change in fair value of derivative liabilities. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures, viewed in addition to and not in lieu of the Company’s reported GAAP results, provides useful information to investors by providing a more focused measure of operating results. These metrics are an integral part of the Company’s internal reporting to evaluate its operations and the performance of senior management. A reconciliation to the comparable GAAP measure is available in the accompanying schedule. The non-GAAP measures presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
