Fourth Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2014 Highlights

-Gross revenues were higher by 350 percent to $3.1 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014 compared to $0.7 million for the same quarter last year and were higher by 173 percent to $5.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $2.1 million last year, mainly due to an increase in the number of Heating Units in operation in 2014 and the entry into the US during the first quarter of 2014.

-During the year ended December 31, 2014 the Corporation successfully extinguished its royalty obligation in exchange for two million common shares of the Corporation at a value of $51,062. This resulted in recognizing a onetime gain on extinguishment of royalty obligation of $2.9 million.

-During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Corporation successfully re financed its capital lease facility which resulted in repaying its existing capital lease obligation due to a major Canadian bank in full of $1.5 million and establishing a $2.5 million new capital lease facility repayable over five years.

-The Corporation had a total of 5 Heating Units operating by the end of 2014 compared to only 3 Heating Units as at the end of last year.

-During the first half of 2014 the Corporation successfully entered into the USA and there were 4 Heating Unit working by the end of December 31, 2014 in the USA. These were the first Heating Units working in the USA and the Corporation is working on increasing the number of Heating Units in the US through 2015.

-Net income before other items for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 was $0.2 million compared to a net loss before other items of $1.6 million for the same quarter last year and net loss before other items was $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $3.0 million last year, mainly due to increase in revenues during current quarter and year.

-Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 was $0.2 million compared to a net loss of $1.6 million for the same quarter last year and the net income was $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to a net loss of $3.0 million last year, mainly due to the onetime gain in the current year of $2.9 million on extinguishment of royalty obligation and the general overall increase in revenues and operations.

Commenting on fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2014 results, Mr. Swapan Kakumanu, IES, Chief Financial Officer stated, “Our fourth quarter financial results continued to show a greater quarter-over-quarter improvement on revenue growth compared to the same quarters of previous years. On a year to date basis 2014 was a successful year for IES with increased revenues and by successfully resolving the royalty liability obligation and refinancing the capital leases during the third quarter of 2014, the Corporation has a more flexible and stronger balance sheet to work with.”

“With the recent TSX approval of the acquisition of 640 Energy Inc., we are in a position to evaluate and identifying new opportunities for the Corporation that will enable us to expand our operations throughout North America.,” commented Mr. Randy Hayward and CEO of IES. This is a strategic acquisition for IES and we expect the synergies that this acquisition is expected to generate will be beneficial to the combined entities which will enable us to grow our business operations in the USA more quickly and efficiently.
