Financial Highlights for the Quarter:

Financial Highlights for the Year:

David Deacon, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "With this very difficult year behind us, the Company is moving back into the territory it occupied prior to our learning curve on what was for us a mega project. Orders for our Systems group were quiet in the second half of 2016 in both industrial and municipal markets. Since then, we have seen the emergence of a number of large mining projects which are the result of mining companies looking to increase capacity in currently operating mines. These opportunities are in our sales funnel as potential new capital sales, and also as candidates for the joint venture announced in December 2016, under which we would work with a major lime supplier to jointly supply and provide ongoing support for the systems to end-users. The Tanks & Industrial Group is very busy with its two Site C projects as well as a number of other smaller projects, and is closely following two Frac Sand transload projects, one in Canada and one in the US. Our new orders of $7,572,600 in the quarter were strong and have helped us maintain the backlog despite very robust revenue in the fourth quarter. The execution of the new work is under way, and we expect to our results strengthen as we move beyond the engineering phase into equipment supply and deliveries in the second quarter of 2017."

Mr. Deacon continued, "As we have said before, over the past two years the Company has managed to shift its business into a number of new opportunity areas such as cement trans-load facilities, cement batch plants, and Frac Sand trans-load facilities, utilizing the design expertise from its traditional Systems business. These are important developments in broadening our product offering and ultimately growing our business base. It is also important to note that our experience in learning how to execute major tank farm projects could also pay off well over the next few years. Executed correctly, these projects can contribute significantly due to their large size, and we are now prepared and capable of handling this business in the future. We have expanded our capabilities and believe we will now be a strong contender in all future oil sands tank farm opportunities, having proved the efficacy of our product and the quality of our build. With that learning curve behind us, the future looks very good."

The Company will hold a conference call to discuss the financial results on March 14th, 2017 at 11:00 am Eastern time. The call-in numbers are: 877-407-8031 (toll free) or 201-689-8031 (international).

Non-IFRS Measures
The term "EBITDA" is a financial measure used in this document which is not a standard measure under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The Company's method of calculating EBITDA may differ from the methods used by other issuers. Therefore, STT's measure of EBITDA, as presented in this press release, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. EBITDA refers to net earnings determined in accordance with IFRS before depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment, interest expense, accretion expense, special charges and recoveries, stock compensation expense and income tax expense. Management believes that EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure of cash available for debt service, working capital, capital expenditures, income taxes, and distribution. Investors are cautioned that EBITDA, as a non-IFRS measure, is not an alternative to measures under IFRS and should not, on its own, be construed as an indicator of performance or cash flows, a measure of liquidity or as a measure of actual return.

The term "backlog" is a financial measure used in this document which is not a standard measure under IFRS. The Company's method of calculating backlog may differ from the methods used by other issuers. Therefore, STT's measure of backlog, as presented in this press release, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Backlog is the value of revenue remaining to be earned from purchase orders received from customers. The projects represented in backlog are executed according to a schedule agreed with each customer, which could range in duration from one month to eighteen months. Revenues are earned on a percentage of completion basis. Management uses this measure to i) monitor the Company's success in securing new orders, and ii) gauge the likelihood of meeting revenue objectives in future periods.

Investors are cautioned that backlog, as a non-IFRS measure, is not an alternative to measures under IFRS and should not, on its own, be construed as an indicator of performance or cash flows, a measure of liquidity or as a measure of actual return.
