Oilfield Services / Frac Water Stock Trading Alert; HII Technologies, Inc. (HIIT) Announces First Quarter 2013 Results

HOUSTON - May 15, 2013 (Investorideas.com Newswire) HII Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") (OTCBB: HIIT), an oilfield services company headquartered in Houston, Texas, today announced financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2013.

As stated in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 15, 2013, first quarter 2013 revenues were $2,609,773, which generated a gross profit margin of $532,292. These revenues consist of AES Water Solutions as well as initial revenue contribution from South Texas Power and the AES Safety Services divisions, which were launched in late December 2012 and January 2013 respectively. AES Water Solutions generated revenues of $536,371 for the comparable period in 2012. Accordingly, this represents revenue growth for AES of more than 380% for the first quarter 2013, on a pro forma basis, from the comparable period in 2012.
For the first quarter ending March 31, 2013, the Company had Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $101,390, (EBITDA defined as earnings before interest, depreciation, amortization, non-cash stock option expenses, and one-time non-operational expense items), a non-GAAP measure. A reconciliation table of the Adjusted EBITDA is provided below. The Net Loss for the first quarter 2013 was $114,389.
Brent Mulliniks, President of AES Water Solutions stated, "We experienced good growth in the first quarter from both increased demand with existing customers and from expanded operations. AES incurred additional expenses as it established new areas of operations in the Permian Basin and the Cline Shale in West Texas as well as the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas." Mr. Mulliniks continued, "New revenues are now being generated as a result of these expenditures."
"All three divisions, Water, Power and Safety, exceeded their revenue targets for the first quarter 2013," said Matthew Flemming, CEO of HII Technologies. "Our investments in people and equipment which used cash flow from existing operations should continue to fuel organic growth. Also, the Company continues to evaluate new technologies and potential acquisitions."
Mr. Flemming also confirmed that the Company's expansion into West and South Texas with AES Water Solutions frac water supply operations added new customers and generated additional revenues while reducing its overall customer concentration. Mr. Flemming continued, "The Company procured trailers, manifolds, and related equipment as well as sourced new labor for these strategic markets. Currently, we anticipate further growth in all three divisions in these active resource areas going forward."
Investorideas.com Newswire As reported in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending March 31, 2013, Current Assets increased by approximately $796,000 to approximately $2,540,000 from the previous quarter ended December 31, 2012. The Company's Stockholder's Equity (Total Assets minus Total Liabilities) decreased by approximately $63,000 to approximately $808,000, sequentially from the previous quarter ended December 31, 2012. These balance sheet changes were the result of increased revenues and cash flow partially offset by expansion costs and other one-time expenses.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements as to matters that are not of historic fact are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on HII's current expectations, estimates and projections about HII, its industry, its management's beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, and include statements regarding estimated capital expenditures, future operational and activity expectations, international growth, and anticipated financial performance in 2013. No assurance can be given that such expectations, estimates or projections will prove to have been correct. Whenever possible, these "forward-looking statements" are identified by words such as "expects," "believes," "anticipates" and similar phrases.
Readers are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict, including, but not limited to: risks that HII will be unable to achieve its financial, capital expenditure and operational projections, including quarterly and annual projections of revenue and/or operating income and risks that HII's expectations regarding future activity levels, customer demand, and pricing stability may not materialize (whether for HII as a whole or for geographic regions and/or business segments individually); risks that fundamentals in the U.S. oil and gas markets may not yield anticipated future growth in HII's businesses, or could further deteriorate or worsen from the recent market declines, and/or that HII could experience further unexpected declines in activity and demand for its hydraulic frac related water transfer business, its safety consultancy business or its generator and related equipment rental service businesses; risks relating to HII's ability to implement technological developments and enhancements; risks relating to compliance with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, as well as actions by governmental and regulatory authorities; risks that HII may be unable to achieve the benefits expected from acquisition and disposition transactions, and risks associated with integration of the acquired operations into HII's operations; risks, in responding to changing or declining market conditions, that HII may not be able to reduce, and could even experience increases in, the costs of labor, fuel, equipment and supplies employed and used in HII's businesses; risks relating to changes in the demand for or the price of oil and natural gas; risks that HII may not be able to execute its capital expenditure program and/or that any such capital expenditure investments, if made, will not generate adequate returns; and other risks affecting HII's ability to maintain or improve operations, including its ability to maintain prices for services under market pricing pressures, weather risks, and the impact of potential increases in general and administrative expenses.
Because such statements involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of HII's control, HII's actual results and performance may differ materially from the results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Other important risk factors that may affect HII's business, results of operations and financial position are discussed in its most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K, recent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, recent Current Reports on Form 8-K and in other Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Unless otherwise required by law, HII also disclaims any obligation to update its view of any such risks or uncertainties or to announce publicly the result of any revisions to the forward-looking statements made here. However, readers should review carefully reports and documents that HII files periodically with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Mining Stock News: SilverCrest (TSX.V: SVL) (NYSE MKT: SVLC) Reports Q1, 2013 Financial Results Cash Flow from Operations of $8.8 Million ($0.08 Per Share) Net Earnings $6.0 Million ($0.06 Per Share)

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - May 15, 2013 (Investorideas.com Mining Stocks Newswire) SilverCrest Mines Inc. (TSX.V:SVL) ( NYSE MKT: SVLC) (CW5.F) ("SilverCrest" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013. All financial information is prepared in accordance with IFRS and all dollar amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise specified. The information in this news release should be read in conjunction with the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and associated management discussion and analysis ("MD&A") which are available from the Company's website at www.silvercrestmines.com and under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

J. Scott Drever, President stated; "We are pleased with the steady start to 2013, for which operating costs and production were consistent with budget and mine plan, however, our financial performance in comparison to the extraordinary stellar first quarter of 2012, was impacted by lower metal prices and our decision to accelerate waste removal resulting in less ore processed and ultimately fewer ounces of gold sold compared to the first quarter 2012. Our operating team continues to tightly control operating costs, which resulted in the average cash operating cost of ($7.69) per ounce during the first quarter which was less than the corporate guidance of $8.50 per silver equivalent ounce. We are comfortable that, as the strip ratio declines during the second half of 2013 and the ore grades in the pit continue to increase, we will meet our corporate market guidance of 625,000 ounces of silver and 33,000 ounces of gold for 2013."
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS OF Q1, 2013, Compared to Q1, 2012:
  • Cash flow from operations (1) decreased 28% to $8.8 million ($0.08 per share).
  • Cash operating cost per silver equivalent ounce sold (2) increased 10% to $7.69, but below market guidance of $8.50.
  • Revenues reported - IFRS (3) decreased 22% to $15.3 million.
  • Metal sales of 157,088 ounces of silver were up 12% and 7,370 ounces of gold were down 25%.
  • Bullion inventory at March 31, 2013, included 43,278 ounces of silver and 2,106 ounces of gold.
  • Realized spot metal prices were down for ounces sold - silver price fell 12% and gold price fell 5%.
  • Net earnings were similar at $6.0 million ($0.06 per share), compared to $6.1 million ($0.07 per share).
  • Cash, cash equivalents and short term investments were $41.1 million - Working capital was $48.9 million (at March 31, 2013).
Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2013 to March 31, 2012
Net earnings were $6,002,276 ($0.06 per share basic) for the first quarter, consistent with $6,070,520 ($0.07 per share basic) in the first quarter of 2012.
Silver and gold revenues totalled $15,329,642 (2012 - $19,599,570) in the first quarter. Silver and gold revenues on a cash basis decreased by 17% to $14,776,451 (2012 - $17,776,691), primarily from a reduction in the number of gold ounces sold and lower realized spot prices.
Silver sales for the quarter were 157,088 ounces (2012 - 139,771), or 12% higher than the same period in 2012, but the average realized price was 12% lower at $30 (2012 - $34) per ounce. Total gold sales were 7,370 ounces (2012 - 9,788) or 25% below 2012. The Company sold 5,896 spot gold ounces (2012 - 6,471) at lower market spot realized prices of $1,626 (2012 - $1,720) per ounce. The Company delivered 1,474 gold ounces (2012 - 1,958) to Sandstorm at $350 per ounce.
Cost of sales amounted to $4,368,519 (2012 - $4,491,131). The cash cost per silver equivalent ounce sold amounted to $7.69, Au:Ag 55.8:1 (2012 - $7.00, Au:Ag 51.2:1). Corporate market guidance estimate for 2013 continues at $8.50 per silver equivalent ounce, (Au:Ag 55:1). The increase in cash cost per silver equivalent ounce sold was driven by higher operating costs during the second half of 2012 and lower gold sales, which corresponded to an increase in the average silver equivalent ounce value loaded on the leach pad and recorded in cost of sales. The overall cash cost per silver equivalent ounce increased, despite a decrease of approximately $0.50 per silver equivalent ounce from a lower silver to gold price ratio during the first quarter compared with the same quarter in 2012.
General and administrative expenses increased by 14% to $1,340,926 (2012 - $1,172,197) primarily due to an increase in regulatory expense and remuneration, resulting from the addition of new Corporate personnel and increased compensation for management.

(1) Cash flow from operations before changes in working capital items. This is a Non-IFRS performance measure.
(2) Silver equivalent ounces consist of the number of ounces of silver sold plus the number of ounces of gold sold multiplied by the ratio of the spot gold price to the spot silver price at the quarter end dates (Q1 2013; 55.8:1, Q1 2012; 51.2:1).
(3) IFRS 18 - Revenue should be recorded at its fair value, which for gold and silver is the market spot price on the date revenue is recognized.
(4) The MBL Hedging Facility was fully repaid in fiscal 2012, so this non-cash adjustment has now been eliminated.
NON-IFRS PERFORMANCE MEASURES
The discussion of financial results in this press release includes reference to cash operating cost per silver equivalent ounce sold which is a non-IFRS performance measure. The Company presents this measure to provide additional information regarding the Company's financial results and performance. Please refer to the Company's MD&A for the three months ended March 31, 2013, for a reconciliation of this measure to reported IFRS results.

Investor Alert: Enterprise Group, Inc. (TSX: E) (OTC: ETOLF) Moves on First Quarter News

May 10, 2013 (www.investorideas.com newswire) Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in sector research for independent investors issues an investor alert for infrastructure stock Enterprise Group, Inc.(TSX:E) (OTC:ETOLF). Yesterday the Company reported first quarter results for the period ended March 31, 2013, and its seventh consecutive quarter of profitability.

Enterprise Group, Inc. is a consolidator of construction services companies operating in the energy, utility and transportation infrastructure industries. The Company's focus is primarily utility & infrastructure construction and specialized equipment rental. The Company's strategy is to acquire complementary service companies in Western Canada, consolidating capital, management and human resources to support continued growth. Enterprise became a Western Canadian leader in flameless heat technology in September 2012 with its acquisition of Artic Therm International Ltd. and is poised to become a technological leader in underground infrastructure construction upon closing of its pending infrastructure construction acquisition
QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS
Net profit for the quarter surpassed not only any historical quarter but also exceeded any full fiscal year's profitability in the history of the Company.
Net income for the quarter was $3,167,000, or 34% of revenue, compared to $169,000 in the same quarter last year, an increase of $2,998,000.
Earnings per share for the quarter was $0.05 per share compared to $nil in the same quarter last year.
Revenue for the quarter increased by $5,273,000 to $8,904,000 compared to the same period last year.
EBITDAS (1) for the quarter increased by $3,306,000 to $3,901,000 or 44% of revenue, compared to the same period last year.
Gross profit for the quarter was $5,202,000 or 58.4% compared to $1,226,000 or 33.8% for the same period last year.
The Company's utilities/infrastructure construction division renewed a three year, multi-million dollar service contract with one of Canada's premier power suppliers and due to the high level of service and quality of work, this division was awarded a second contract from the same customer that is similar in size and scope. These contracts were signed in February of 2013.
The Company added depth to its management team hiring Warren Cabral, CA as Chief Financial Officer to assist with the future growth of the Company.
To assist in executing the Company's strategy, in February $1,050,000 was raised in a non brokered private placement of 4,200,000 units at $0.25 per unit. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at an exercise price of $0.35 for a period of six months from the closing of the offering, subject to accelerated expiry in certain circumstances.
Also in February, the Company signed a letter of intent to acquire a specialized underground infrastructure construction company for $12,000,000. This acquisition is aligned with the Company's strategy to focus on infrastructure and specialty rental operations and will assist to mitigate the seasonality of the Company's existing operations. The purchase price of the acquisition is just over two times EBITDA of the target company.
To finance this acquisition, in March the Company entered into an arrangement to raise $6,000,000 of unsecured convertible debentures. The debentures have a two year term at 6% interest and will be convertible into common shares at a price of $.50 per share.
Additionally, subsequent to the quarter end, on May 2, 2013, the Company accepted a term sheet presented by PNC Bank Canada Branch (PNC) to increase its current senior secured finance facility from $12,500,000 to a maximum of $20,000,000.
