HII Technologies, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2013

HOUSTON, Nov. 14, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HII Technologies, Inc. (the "Company"), symbol HIIT, an oilfield services company headquartered in Houston, Texas, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013.

As stated in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on November 14, 2013, third quarter 2013 revenues were $3,931,716, which generated a gross profit of $1,136,887. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, revenues were $9,767,926 and gross profit was $2,534,307. Increased revenues came from continued growth of AES Water Solutions' frac water transfer business and additional revenue contributions from our South Texas Power and AES Safety Services divisions which were launched in late December 2012 and January 2013, respectively. For comparison, our revenues on a consolidated pro forma basis for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 (including revenues of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary AES Water Solutions which was acquired in September 2012) were $438,682 and $1,424,790, respectively. Accordingly, this represents revenue growth of more than 796% for the third quarter 2013, and 585% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from the pro forma consolidated comparable periods in 2012.

For the third quarter ended September 30, 2013, the Company had Adjusted EBITDAS of approximately $78,161, (EBITDAS defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash stock option expenses, and one-time or non-operational expense items), a non-GAAP measure. A reconciliation table of the Adjusted EBITDAS is provided below. The Net Loss for the third quarter 2013 was $175,211. The EBITDAS results were driven by increased revenues and improved sequential quarter to quarter gross margins offset by costs associated with new technology development and the expenses associated with organic territory expansion particularly in West Texas and the Permian Basin.

Regarding the Balance Sheet, total Current Assets grew from $1,743,568 at December 31, 2012 to $2,901,681 at September 30, 2013. Net Equipment increased from $537,881 at December 31, 2012 to $674,990 at September 30, 2013. This increase resulted primarily from the sale of our truck fleet and establishment of a national light-duty truck operating lease line program offset by the purchase of new flow back equipment to expand our services offered. Total Assets grew from $4,182,551 at year end 2012 to $5,533,473 at September 30, 2013. Total Liabilities grew from $3,311,580 to $4,716,250 for the same period which included $1,436,273 outstanding on a new $2 million revolving line of credit closed during the second quarter 2013. Prior to establishing our line of credit, most of our growth had been funded from existing cash flow. The line of credit provides additional liquidity to the Company as needed.

"AES continued to grow as a result of the increasing demand and operations for our frac water flow back and water transfer services," stated Brent Mulliniks, President of AES Water Solutions.  Mr. Mulliniks continued, "We have expanded our services with new technologies including forming a strategic alliance with CRS Reprocessing, a global fluids reprocessing management company. This technology alliance will broaden and enhance the services provided by AES Water Solutions in the area of its water and fluids remediation business."

Matthew Flemming, CEO of HII Technologies stated, "Strong revenue continues to grow across all three divisions of Water, Safety and Power validating our strategy of focusing on core oilfield market segments where demand is anticipated to remain from horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing. Our management team, field people and reliable oilfield equipment should continue to fuel organic growth in our focused areas. While the Company can not give any assurances, we look forward to deploying new technologies for our operating units and additional acquisitions to fuel our future growth."
