Wavefront Announces Second Quarter 2014 Financial Results

EDMONTON, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - April 29, 2014) - Wavefront Technology Solutions Inc. (Wavefront or the Corporation), (TSX VENTURE:WEE)(OTCQX:WFTSF) a leading-edge provider of fluid injection processes primarily for mature field revitalization (Enhanced Oil Recovery or "EOR") as well as oil and gas well stimulation announces its financial results for the second quarter ending February 28, 2014.

Wavefront's business operates in a market where there is increasing demand to bring economically beneficial solutions to exploration and production companies (or "E&P" companies) to maximize oil and gas productivity. Central to Wavefront's broad portfolio of technologies is the fluid delivery process, Powerwave that encompasses the life cycle of a client's post exploration operations.

Wavefront is uniquely positioned to capitalize on significant growth opportunities. The Corporation believes that no competitor has a similar, diverse portfolio of unique fluid injection methodologies and tools. By leveraging Powerwave across multiple oil industry applications including EOR; well stimulation; and, drilling among other applications, Wavefront is seeking to minimize technology risk and accelerate commercialization timelines.

The financial highlights for the three months ended February 28, 2014 include:

• Total revenues were $1,247,048, an increase of $219,560 over the comparative period in 2013 that recognized revenues of $1,027,488.

• For the three months ended February 28, 2014, the gross profit margin(1) for Powerwave was 69.9% compared to 76.7% for the comparative period due to the heavier weighting on international projects and providing greater field incentive compensation to accelerate growth.

• Cash used in operating activities(2) decreased $586,362 to $529,215 from the comparative period of $1,115,577. Management believes that over time, the funds used in operations should decrease as revenue grows and as it focuses expenditures on nearer term revenues. Wavefront continues to strive toward sustainability while endeavouring to accelerate revenue growth in its core focus marketing regions.
