CEMATRIX Corporation (TSX VENTURE:CVX) (the "Corporation" or the "Company" or
"CEMATRIX") is pleased to announce the release of its consolidated financial
results for the year ended December 31, 2012.
The Corporation reported record sales revenues of $8.5 million, a $0.7 million
dollar improvement over the previous year ended December 31, 2011. Earnings,
before the deferred tax recovery, were $0.157 million, down from $0.403 million
reported for 2011. The improvement in sales was primarily due to an increase in
activity in the oil and gas sector of Western Canada. The decline in earnings,
before the deferred tax recovery, of $0.246 million was primarily due to the
Company experiencing lower margins and higher operating costs.
The Company proactively took on projects with lower margins to sustain sales and
cash flows during a very slow start to the construction season. Margins on
certain projects completed in the late summer/fall were negatively affected by
delays in projects that resulted in the Company completing these projects with a
higher material costs than anticipated. Total comprehensive income for 2012 was
$0.857 million, up from $0.403 million in 2011; this increase is due to the
recognition of a $0.700 million deferred tax asset representing the recovery of
deferred taxes not previously recorded.
Highlights for the year include:
-- The Company's contracted sales of $12.4 million; $8.5 million of these
contracted sales were completed in 2012 and the balance of $3.9 million
are scheduled for 2013.
-- The Company reported record sales of $8.5 million, up from the previous
year of $7.8 million. Infrastructure sales now account for over 70% of
total sales with the balance coming from the oil and gas sector in
Western Canada.
-- The Company experienced a number of project delays which resulted in
$2.9 million of sales, originally scheduled for completion in 2012, to
be re-scheduled to 2013.
-- The Company's recorded a non-cash recovery of deferred taxes of $0.700
million because it became more probable that the Company would generate
sufficient future taxable income to recognize the future tax benefit of
certain tax loss carry forwards.
-- The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, CEMATRIX (Canada) Inc., entered
into an agreement with the Business Development Bank of Canada ("BDC")
to provide $1.35 million of working capital and capital expenditure
financing.
