At the date of this press release MATRRIX had a total of 13 directional
and horizontal systems available for deployment in Alberta,
Saskatchewan, British Columbia and Manitoba. In addition, the
Corporation continues to operate a drilling motor business in west
Texas.
President Richard Ryan states, "We're making strong progress growing the
MATRRIX brand, our revenue base, and our EBITDA. Our Key Performance
Indicators (KPI's) all show significant period to period improvement,
affirming our strategy and our model. Of primary importance is that our
formula is being endorsed by MATRRIX clients. With financial strength
anchored around a balance sheet that includes $11 million in cash,
we'll remain disciplined in deploying additional capital, targeting
strong returns as we execute our comprehensive approach to delivering
horizontal and directional drilling technology and services in North
America. I'm impressed (but not surprised) with the hard work and focus
of all MATRRIX staff, and equally impressed with our ability to find
opportunities and execute in a way that is clearly having an impact."
The Corporation's financial statements and management's discussion and
analysis for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012
will be available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
NON-GAAP MEASURES
This press release contains references to EBITDA. This financial measure
is not a measure that has any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS
and is therefore referred to as a non-GAAP measure. The non-GAAP
measures used by the Corporation may not be comparable to similar
measures used by other companies.
(i) EBITDA is defined as "income (loss) before interest, taxes, business
acquisition transaction costs, reverse takeover adjustments,
depreciation, stock based compensation expense, gains on disposal of
property and equipment and foreign exchange." Management believes that
in addition to net and total comprehensive income (loss), EBITDA is a
useful supplemental measure as it provides an indication of the results
generated by the Corporation's principal business activities prior to
consideration of how these activities are financed, how the results are
taxed in various jurisdictions, or how the results are effected by the
accounting standards associated with the Corporation's stock based
compensation plan.
