PHX Energy Services Corp. Announces March 2015 Dividend

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - March 13, 2015) - PHX Energy Services Corp. ("PHX Energy" or the "Corporation") (TSX:PHX) has declared a cash dividend of $0.035 per common share designated as an "eligible dividend" within the meaning of subsection 89(1) of the Income Tax Act (Canada), and payable on April 15, 2015, to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 31, 2015. The ex-dividend date is March 27, 2015.

As previously announced the Board of Directors approved a 50 percent reduction to its dividend from $0.84 per share per year ($0.07 per share per month) to $0.42 per share per year ($0.035 per share per month) effective for the March dividend. This reduction is due to the contracting industry activity levels that have resulted from depressed commodity prices, and as a result PHX Energy's outlook is that 2015 will be a challenging year. PHX Energy's objective is to preserve its strong balance sheet and to be poised for future opportunities that may arise including those related to the strategic objectives in progress.
