Energy Services of America Files Quarterly Report

HUNTINGTON, W.Va., Aug. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Energy Services of America (the "Company" or "Energy Services") (OTC QB: ESOA), parent company of C.J. Hughes Construction Company ("C.J. Hughes") and Nitro Construction Services, Inc. ("Nitro"), announced the filing of the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.  Energy Services earned revenues of $40.2 million and $136.3 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.  Net income (loss) available to common shareholders was $409,000 and $(239,000) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.  The Company had adjusted EBITDA of $2.3 million ($0.16 per share) and $4.0 million ($0.28 per share) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.  The backlog at June 30, 2019 was $49.8 million. 

Below is a comparison of the Company's operating results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

Revenues increased by $10.7 million or 36.0% to $40.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $29.5 million for the same period in 2018.  The increase was primarily attributable to a $7.0 million revenue increase in petroleum and gas work, a $2.5 million revenue increase in electrical and mechanical services and a $1.1 million revenue increase in water and sewer projects and other ancillary services.

Douglas Reynolds, President, commented on the announcement.  "Fiscal year 2019 has been greatly impacted by a twenty-mile pipeline project in northern West Virginia.  We expect the project to finish cash positive; however, environmental delays and weather-related production inefficiencies had a significant impact on profitability.  Final restoration was complete in early August 2019 and only a small amount of fence replacement remains."  Reynolds continued, "Our remaining projects are largely performing as expected.  While new pipeline installation work has slowed, we have been successful in obtaining a significant amount of maintenance work on existing pipelines. We are still bidding work for fiscal year 2019 and are looking for several new projects to finish this construction season and supplement our existing backlog."
