NATIONAL ENERGY SERVICES COMPANY REPORTS 2006 YEAR END RESULTS
--Company Expects Improving Results for First Quarter Fiscal 2007--
EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP, NEW JERSEY—February 5, 2007 --National Energy Services Company, Inc. (OTC: NEGS), an energy conservation product and management company providing cost effective solutions for long term care, commercial and industrial facilities, today announced financial results for its fiscal year ended October 31, 2006.
2006 Financial Performance
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, National Energy Services reported net revenue of $1.15 million, up from $1.09 million in 2005. The revenue growth was the result primarily of an increase in equipment sales of the Company’s Ozone Laundry Systems and Energy Efficient Lighting Upgrades (accounting for 93% of the Company’s total revenue).
The Company reported a net loss of $609,601 or $0.04 per basic and diluted share for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006. Approximately $278,000 of the 2006 loss is attributable to operations. Included in the 2006 loss is a one time, non-recurring charge of $199,800 incurred as a result of issuing stock to employees and consultants and a bad debt expense of $132,142. This compares to a net loss of $707,106 or $0.05 per basic and diluted share for the year ended October 31, 2005. Gross margins rose to 53% from 44% due to an increase in revenues from Ozone Laundry Services, which produce a higher margin than the Company’s lighting services.
Commenting on the Company’s 2006 results and the first quarter of fiscal 2007, President John Grillo said: “The demand for our energy efficient products and services coupled with our growing recognition as a cost effective solution for Skilled Nursing Facilities is propelling new sales. For the current fiscal quarter, which just ended on January 31, 2007, we expect to book revenues of approximately $400,000, compared to $168,000 in the first fiscal quarter of last year. We also have another $500,000 in backlog orders that will be booked as revenue as we install the products in the coming months. We are hopeful that with the increased revenues and strict cost controls implemented in 2007 we will move the Company to profitability.”
