LINDON, Utah, Aug. 13, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Profire Energy, Inc. (OTCBB: PFIE ), a technology company which manufactures, installs and services burner management systems and other combustion technologies for the oil and gas industry, today announced that it has filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for its fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company reported record quarterly revenue and net income (after-tax) for the three months ended June 30, 2013 of $7,181,580 and $1,613,984, respectively. These figures represent a 95% increase in revenue and a 185% increase in net income (after-tax) compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. Earnings per share increased to $0.04 for the quarter, compared to $0.01 for the same period of the prior fiscal year. As a percentage of revenues, cost of goods sold increased slightly from 41% to 42%.
"For some time, we have emphasized the need to invest in future growth," said Andrew Limpert, chief financial officer of Profire. "We are seeing revolutionary energy developments taking place in North America—like improved fracking, horizontal drilling, and expanded shale development. With these new technological developments in the industry, we believe our opportunity to bring value-focused innovation to the burner management space is significant—and growing. I believe this past quarter shows our ability to capitalize on this opportunity."
The Company reported a 98% increase in the sales of goods (net), as well as a 52% increase in the sales of services (net), while total operating expenses increased 29%. Profire remains debt free, and continues to finance its growth through organic cash flow.
"Our sales team has done a tremendous job of educating the industry of the value of using burner management systems," said Brenton Hatch, chief executive officer of Profire. "I believe this past quarter says as much about our people as it does about the opportunity in the industry. We estimate there are currently about 1.3 million wells in North America, with between 45,000 and 50,000 new wells for oil and natural gas being drilled this year, and the overwhelming majority of those wells do not yet use sophisticated burner management technology. We are focused both on improving the industry's burner management technologies and maintaining our financial discipline as we do so."
The Company's financial statements (as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission), as well as an illustration of the Company's quarterly revenues, are both provided below.
