ENERGY SERVICES OF AMERICA FILES ANNUAL REPORT
Huntington, WV January 4, 2021- Energy Services of America Corporation (the “Company” or “Energy Services”) (OTC QB: ESOA), parent company of C.J. Hughes Construction Company and Nitro Construction Services, announced the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Energy Services earned revenues of $119.2 million with an income before tax of $3.6 million for fiscal year 2020. The Company had a net income available to common shareholders of $2.1 million and an adjusted EBITDA of $8.1 million for fiscal year ended September 30, 2020.
On December 11, 2020, the Company issued an earnings release in which the Company reported an income tax expense of $3.8 million due to Internal Revenue Service guidelines on the deductibility of Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) expenditures. At that time, PPP expenses were not tax deductible in the tax year spent for loan recipients that believe forgiveness is “reasonably certain”, but not yet received. This resulted in a net loss available to common shareholders of ($533,000) for fiscal year 2020.
On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act (the “Act”) was signed into law. Included in the Act was additional COVID-19 aid for PPP loan recipients that allowed the tax deductibility of PPP expenditures. This resulted in $2.7 million in less income tax expense than the Company previously reported on December 11, 2020. As a result, the Company’s net income available to common shareholders was $2.1 million for fiscal year 2020.
