ENSERVCO's First Quarter Revenue Improves 95% to $18.6 Million Fueling Tenfold Increase in Income From Continuing Operations; Adjusted EBITDA* Increases 251% to $7.3 Million

DENVER, CO--(Marketwired - May 2, 2013) - ENSERVCO Corporation (OTCQB: ENSV)

Selected Highlights:

• Gross margin improves to 44% from 31% in 2012 first quarter
• Operating income increases to $6.7 million, up from $721,000 in Q1 2012
• March 31, 2013 working capital of $7.4 million, up from $1.6 million at year-end 2012
• Management reports strong start to second fiscal quarter

ENSERVCO Corporation (OTCQB: ENSV), a provider of well-site services to the domestic onshore conventional and unconventional oil and gas industries, today announced record revenue and earnings** for its first quarter ended March 31, 2013.

First quarter revenue increased 95% to a record $18.6 million from $9.5 million the first quarter last year, and a 65% increase over the previous quarterly revenue record of $11.3 million, which came in the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase was fueled by strong demand for ENSERVCO's well enhancement services (frac heating, hot oiling, acidizing and pressure testing). Well enhancement revenue increased 125% to $16.5 million from $7.3 million in last year's first quarter. Revenue from fluid management services (water hauling/disposal and frac tank rentals) was $1.9 million, down from $2.1 million in the 2012 first quarter.

Gross margin improved to 44% from 31% in the prior year's first quarter. Operating income was $6.7 million versus $721,000 in the first quarter a year ago, while income from continuing operations was $4.0 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, up from $379,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2012. In addition to the strong revenue growth, the Company's earnings reflected a $759,000 decrease in depreciation expense versus the first quarter last year, which was primarily due to a reassessment of the estimated useful lives of its trucks, equipment and disposal wells.

First quarter adjusted EBITDA* increased 251% to $7.3 million from $2.1 million in the 2012 first quarter.

"Our first quarter financial results reflect the rapid evolution of our business during recent quarters," said Rick Kasch, president. "A strong increase in our frac heating and hot oiling capacity combined with normal weather across our expanded service territory led to the sharp increase in first quarter revenue, as well as a very strong improvement in earnings. Our first quarter adjusted EBITDA* nearly equaled our strongest full-year performance of $7.5 million in 2008.

"Cold temperatures have continued into the spring in many of our service regions, and this has led to a strong start to the second quarter. We expect demand for our frac heating, hot oiling and well maintenance services to show meaningful improvements during the second and third quarters versus the same periods in 2012. These expectations are based on our broader customer base and our move into regions where fluid heating work can last most of the year."

One such region is North Dakota's Williston Basin. Kasch said the Company last week entered into an agreement to provide well-enhancement equipment and services to Warrior LLC, a tribal-member-owned energy service company operating on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation. The nearly million-acre reservation sits in the heart of a large and very active production region where operators are principally targeting the Bakken formation. As part of an effort to expand its service offering, Warrior has partnered with ENSERVCO.

"Our relationship with Warrior could represent a significant increase in activity out of our Killdeer, North Dakota facility," Kasch added. "We look forward to working with the company to offer our well enhancement services to new customers."

Kasch said management is taking additional steps to boost revenue during the summer season. "We are working aggressively to grow our core well maintenance services, such as acidizing and pressure testing, and continue to explore new offerings that could be added through acquisition. Given our strong start to the year and much improved working capital position, we are optimistic 2013 will be another year of record results for ENSERVCO."

*Note on non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and the accompanying tables include a discussion of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures provided as a complement to the results provided in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The term "EBITDA" refers to a financial measure that we define as earnings plus or minus net interest plus taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes from EBITDA stock-based compensation and, when appropriate, other items that management does not utilize in assessing ENSERVCO's operating performance (as further described in the attached financial schedules). None of these non-GAAP financial measures are recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance or any other GAAP measure. We have reconciled Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations table at the end of this release. We intend to continue to provide these non-GAAP financial measures as part of our future earnings discussions and, therefore, the inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures will provide consistency in our financial reporting.

**All revenue and earnings results discussed herein exclude discontinued operations, which resulted in pretax losses of $119,000 and $165,000 for the first quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively.
