Notes 1 through 5 please refer to the Notes to the Financial Highlights set forth at the end of this release.
Total Energy's results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 reflect continued challenging North American energy service industry conditions. Despite this difficult environment, Total Energy remained profitable even after incurring significant non-recurring costs and a $1.9 million unrealized loss on the Company's holding of marketable securities during the third quarter.
Total Energy's Contract Drilling Services division achieved 18% utilization during the third quarter of 2015, recording 291 operating days (spud to release) with a fleet of 18 rigs, compared to 863 operating days, or 55% utilization, during the third quarter of 2014 with a fleet of 17 rigs. Revenue per operating day decreased 19% for the third quarter of 2015 relative to the prior year comparable period due to reduced pricing. The Rentals and Transportation Services division achieved a utilization rate on major rental equipment of 22% during the third quarter of 2015 as compared to 40% during the third quarter of 2014. Divisional revenue per utilized rental piece decreased 5% for the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 due to lower pricing that was offset somewhat by equipment mix. This division exited the third quarter of 2015 with approximately 10,000 pieces of rental equipment and 120 heavy trucks as compared to 10,000 rental pieces and 109 heavy trucks at September 30, 2014. Revenue in the Compression and Process Services division decreased 25% to $46.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $61.4 million for the same period in 2014. This division exited the third quarter of 2015 with a $51.1 million backlog of fabrication sales orders as compared to $78.6 million at September 30, 2014 and $68.0 million at June 30, 2015. At September 30, 2015, approximately 18,900 horsepower of compression equipment was on rent compared to 35,500 horsepower on rent at September 30, 2014 and 28,900 at June 30, 2015. The gas compression rental fleet operated at an average utilization rate of 55% for the third quarter of 2015 as compared to 86% during the third quarter of 2014 and 69% in the second quarter of 2015.
Cashflow was negative $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to $24.2 million of positive cashflow for the comparable period in 2014. The decrease in cashflow was due to lower operating earnings and the payment of $10.2 million of income taxes during the third quarter of 2015 as compared to nominal income tax payments being made during the third quarter of 2014. The increase in tax payments was due in part to the timing of taxation of the Company's limited partnerships which has resulted in $12.7 million of taxes being paid in 2015 that relate to 2014 taxable income. Also included in income taxes paid during the third quarter of 2015 is $6.9 million required to be remitted following the receipt of a $13.7 million reassessment from the Canada Revenue Agency (the "CRA") that relates to the Company's conversion from an income trust to a corporate structure in 2009. This $6.9 million payment represents 50% of the federal tax reassessment that must be remitted pending final adjudication. On November 4, 2015, related provincial income tax reassessments totaling $5.6 million (including interest and penalties) were received although no remittance is required to be made in respect of such reassessments prior to final adjudication. The Company has filed notices of objection in relation to all reassessments and intends to vigorously defend its filing position as well as seek reimbursement from the CRA for the costs and damages arising from the issuance of such reassessments to the fullest extent possible. Total Energy has received legal and tax advice confirming that its filing position is strong and therefore no provision has been made for these reassessments.
During the third quarter, Total Energy declared a quarterly dividend of $0.06 per share to shareholders of record on September 30, 2015. This dividend was paid on October 30, 2015. For Canadian income tax purposes, all dividends paid by Total Energy on its common shares are designated as "eligible dividends" unless otherwise indicated. During the third quarter of 2015, 2,900 common shares were purchased under the Company's normal course issuer bid at an average price of $13.51 per share (including commissions).
Outlook
Substantially lower activity levels coupled with excess industry capacity have resulted in a very difficult operating environment that is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. In this environment, Total Energy looks to work with its customers, suppliers and employees to increase operating efficiencies and reduce operating costs so as to make the various markets in which the Company participates globally competitive. Total Energy also seeks to strike a strategic balance between equipment utilization and price, with a sharp focus on ensuring all business divisions are operating as efficiently as possible to ensure a strong and competitive market presence. However, the Company has and will continue to decline business opportunities that are not profitable. Despite low equipment utilization, depressed pricing and significant costs associated with right-sizing its operations, Total Energy has remained profitable thus far in 2015 and the Company remains committed to managing its business and affairs in a disciplined manner regardless of industry conditions.
Total Energy has experienced several industry downturns since commencing operations in 1997 and views such downturns as a normal part of the business cycle. As such, when making capital investment decisions, the Company's analysis considers the full business cycle, not the prevailing industry conditions at the time such investment decisions are made. This investment approach has resulted in Total Energy having not recorded any capital asset impairments, including goodwill impairments, since its inception.
Total Energy's financial condition remains very strong, with $92.6 million of positive working capital (including $9.4 million, or $0.30 per share, of cash) and no net debt as at September 30, 2015. Total Energy's bank credit facilities require that the Company maintain a debt (less cash) to equity ratio below 2.5 to 1.0 and a current ratio of at least 1.3 to 1.0. As at September 30, 2015, the Company's debt to equity ratio was 0.11 to 1.0 and the current ratio was 3.61 to 1.0. Total Energy's $65 million operating facility is currently undrawn and the Company will look to use its financial capacity and flexibility to pursue investment and consolidation opportunities that arise during such challenging times. However, Total Energy will remain focused and disciplined in the deployment of its owners' capital.

Notes to Financial Highlights
| (1) | Operating earnings means results from operating activities and is equal to net income before income taxes minus gain on sale of property, plant and equipment minus finance income plus finance costs. EBITDA means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and is equal to net income before income taxes plus finance costs plus depreciation minus finance income. Cashflow means cash provided by operations before changes in non-cash working capital items. Operating earnings, EBITDA and cashflow are not recognized measures under IFRS. Management believes that in addition to net income, operating earnings, EBITDA and cashflow are useful supplemental measures as they provide an indication of the results generated by the Company's primary business activities prior to consideration of how those activities are financed, amortized or how the results are taxed in various jurisdictions as well as the cash generated by the Company's primary business activities without consideration of the timing of the monetization of non-cash working capital items. Readers should be cautioned, however, that operating earnings, EBITDA and cashflow should not be construed as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of Total Energy's performance. Total Energy's method of calculating operating earnings, EBITDA and cashflow may differ from other organizations and, accordingly, operating earnings, EBITDA and cashflow may not be comparable to measures used by other organizations. |
| (2) | Per share data (diluted) and the number of common shares outstanding on a diluted basis includes the impact of the conversion of $69 million principal amount of convertible debentures issued in 2011 prior to the redemption of such debentures on May 19, 2015. |
| (3) | Working capital equals current assets minus current liabilities. |
| (4) | Net Debt equals long-term debt plus obligations under finance leases plus convertible debentures plus current liabilities minus current assets. |
| (5) | Cashflow for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is net of $12.7 million of income taxes paid during the period that relates to 2014 taxable income as a result of the Company not having been required to make income tax installment payments during 2014 and $6.9 million of taxes paid, representing half of the CRA re-assessment received by the Company on August 30, 2015. |
