Energy Stock News: Q1 2018 has Been Quite a Year for Enterprise Group; (TSX: $E.TO); Debt Free, Contracts, Asset Sales and the Shares up YTD 40%
Oh yes, the Company is looking aggressively for accretive acquisitions



March 28, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Commentary on Enterprise Group, Inc. (TSX:E)


About 60 years ago, the industrial equipment rental business was born. Growth was slow, but as infrastructure projects grew and costs rose, renting made economic sense and it the sector has been on a decent growth path ever since.
With the US infrastructure mess rattling the Governments of North America with more and more urgency, why own when you can rent?
Infrastructure: Thanks for the Memories. And the Cash.

On March 6th, 2018, Enterprise Group (E: TSX) announced a non-binding LOI for the sale of the assets of its trenchless solutions infrastructure business unit, Calgary Tunnelling & Horizontal Augering ("CTHA"), to a private arm's length purchaser for $20.6 million.
The tax-free deal closed March 26,2018. Enterprise's corporate structure allowed the utilization of tax losses to offset the gain on this transaction.
The transaction comes on the heels of the Company's securing an impressive $9.1 million equipment and supply contract in January.


"While the business landscape has and continues to improve, we are maintaining our posture of rationalizing costs and enhancing efficiencies," stated Des O'Kell. "Doubling our Q4 2017 EPS over the same period 2016($0.02 versus ($0.18) and showing an unusual increase (235%) in Q4 net income to $1.094m. We look forward to a very active and profitable 2018."
As well, as a result of the transaction E's book value rises 10% to $1.01.
Infrastructure is Dead, Long Live Infrastructure.
Enterprise was, until now, a mixture of infrastructure and industrial rental subsidiaries in Western Canada. With the sale of infrastructure subsidiary CT Underground, Enterprise is moving to grow into a leading and pure rental play: Having dumped its debt and set the Company on an aggressive growth path by organic means and complementary acquisitions.

And after having been cashflow positive throughout the resource downturn and returning to profitability Q3 2017, the Company continues to execute on its growth plan.
Trying to get a standard annual growth rate for aspects of the industrial equipment rental market is difficult. Most figures include all rentals (TV's, party plates, etc.) as well as the gear necessary to put together an entire resource camp in the arctic. As well, the growth is heavily tied to economics, commodity prices etc., further mitigating CAGR precision.
Becoming a Profitable Enterprise. Summary of Recent Metrics:
Q4 2017 revenue $10.6m versus Q4 2016 at $8.3m
EBITDA Q4 2017 $2.5m versus Q4 2016 $1.8m
Net Income Q4 2017 $1m versus Q4 2016 loss ($9.9m)
EPS Q4 2017 $0.02 versus Q4 2016 loss ($0.18)
Enterprise bought CT in 2013 for $12 million. The company billed out approximately $60 million in 4.5 years. And then sold it for $20.6 million.
Not dissimilar to the deal Enterprise did with TC Backhoe in 2016.
Some other key CTHA sale benefits:
Payroll shrinks by 60 field and office employees
On the hunt for acquisitions
$25 million credit line available
$15 million acquisition credit line offered.
The key takeaway here is that in what was arguably the worst market for resource stocks of all stripes from 2015 to about a month ago, Enterprise spent the time streamlining for growth instead of worrying about the if, as and when's.
Depending what you read, the industrial rental market has a CAGR of between 4 to 9 percent. With Trump looking for any win, vastly increased infrastructure spending will likely be his legacy.
And a lot of rented equipment.
Why do Companies Rent Industrial Equipment?

Capital Release: In times where they have to demonstrate high levels of profit compared to invested capital, contractors are increasingly eager to rent equipment, as it allows them to minimize the size of their equipment fleet. Less immobilized money allows for improved cost control, lower maintenance costs, as well as for a reduction in transport fleets. Renting equipment with operators even provides for optimizing staff costs.
The range of new equipment available: Some rental companies have fleet inventories reaching up to the hundreds of thousands of pieces of equipment while others are specialized only in a range of particular products. They can thus supply the most comprehensive range of state-of-the-art equipment - with or without qualified operators - as and when contractors and customers/customers need it.
Maintenance, compliance with standards and regulations: Rental companies bear the responsibility for ensuring the equipment they rent out complies with all applicable laws, performing a safety check before delivery. Routine maintenance and major repairs are typically handled by the rental company, saving the renter the expense of having a maintenance crew on staff. Safety checks are performed before each delivery.
Now that the CT sale is buttoned down, Enterprise management will look to identify -2 maybe 3--rental acquisitions.
Oh, There's More.

For 2020 the current forecast is for a more robust 5.3 percent growth in equipment with projected rental revenue in Canada to reach $5.849 billion.
Of course, that's not all, as the Company has a reputation for customizing and indeed manufacturing specialty items for customers. These proprietary products eventually find their way into the rental pool.
As a result, Enterprise's growing IP portfolio currently stands at 15 patents. There is also a technical aspect to the Company that will likely get fleshed out later this year.
Management has signaled that there will be more completed initiatives in 2018. Given what has happened so far this year-the shares up YTD 40% (vs the S&P up 4.22%) getting to know Enterprise would likely be worth your immediate attention.
Btw, that 40% share price rise was actually pre-the CT sale.
Hell, it's only March.

Energy Stock News: Enterprise Group (TSX: $E.TO) Completes Sale of Calgary Tunnelling & Horizontal Augering


Energy Stock News: Enterprise Group (TSX: $E.TO) Completes Sale of Calgary Tunnelling & Horizontal Augering



St. Albert, AB - March 26, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Enterprise Group, Inc. ("Company" or "Enterprise") (TSX:E) a consolidator of services to the energy sector; focused primarily on specialized equipment rental, announcing today that it has closed the previously reported sale of the assets of its trenchless solutions business unit, Calgary Tunnelling & Horizontal Augering (“CTHA”), to a private arm's length purchaser.


Acquired in June 2013 for $12.0 million, over the course CTHA generated approximately $60 million in profitable revenue to Enterprise.

Gross proceeds of the transaction are $20.6 million pursuant to post-closing working capital adjustments. All proceeds from this transaction will be deployed towards reducing Enterprise's debt, placing the Company in the enviable position of being net debt free.

Enterprise's corporate structure will allow the utilization of tax losses to offset the gain on this transaction.

In a news release dated March 15th that announced full year results to December 31, 2017 the Company provided a breakdown adjusted for goodwill and deferred taxes, assets in excess of total debt of $51 million or $0.92 per share. The CTHA transaction improves this position, increasing it to $56 million or $1.01 per share.

Management's execution of its growth plan bodes extremely well for the future of Enterprise as well as its shareholders. Management intends to build and grow its three remaining divisions and acquire additional equipment rental businesses.

There are a number of acquisition targets currently being evaluated by the Company.
The paydown of the PNC credit facility will free up the $25 million line for future acquisition purposes. Management has also been offered a further $15 million line from a prominent U.S. based non-bank lender for acquisition purposes.

#Energy #Stock News: Enterprise Group (TSX: $E.TO) Announces Results for Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2017


#Energy #Stock News: Enterprise Group (TSX: $E.TO) Announces Results for Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2017



St. Albert, AB - March 15, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Enterprise Group, Inc. ("Enterprise," or "the Company") (TSX:E), a consolidator of services to the energy sector; focused primarily on construction services and specialized equipment rental, today released its Q4 2017 and FY2017 results.




Enterprise experienced a meaningful increase in activity from its existing customers coupled with a substantial increase in the number of new customers. Although activity during the year has increased, price reductions implemented throughout the industry in 2015 and 2016 are still in place and competition continues to be holding prices down. Enterprise's high level of service combined with its expertise and specialized equipment has allowed the Company to successfully navigate during this economic downturn.

Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2017 of $10,687,760 increased by $2,361,114 or 28% compared to the prior period. Gross margin declined to 27% and EBITDA increased to $2,566,045 for the three months ended December 31, 2017. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2017 of $37,677,118 increased by $8,953,533 or 31% compared to the prior period. Gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2017 slightly increased to 25% when compared to the prior period. EBITDA for the three months and year ended December 31, 2017 of $2,566,045 and $7,039,984 respectively, increased from higher activity levels combined with reductions in interest charges and general and administrative expenses when compared to the prior period.

During 2017, the Company integrated and upgraded its financial and reporting systems along with its rental fleet tracking and deployment system. Immediate efficiencies and cost savings were experienced after implementing these systems. Further enhancements to these systems will continue in 2018.

Over the last 2 years, the Company has made significant improvements to its statement of financial position and overall total debt. At December 31, 2017, after adjusting for goodwill and deferred taxes, the Company has assets in excess of total debt of approximately $51,000,000 or $0.92 per share. Enterprise will continue to look for opportunities to improve its financial position and opportunities that will allow the Company to diversify and expand.

About Enterprise Group, Inc.

The use of any of the words "could", "expect", "believe", "will", "projected", "estimated" and similar expressions and statements relating to matters that are not historical facts are intended to identify forward-looking information and are based on the Company's current belief or assumptions as to the outcome and timing of such future events.

Non-IFRS Measures
The Company uses International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). EBITDAS is not a measure that has any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and is therefore referred to as a non-IFRS measure. This news release contains references to EBITDAS. This non-IFRS measure used by the Company may not be comparable to a similar measure used by other companies. Management believes that in addition to net income, EBITDAS is a useful supplemental measure as it provides an indication of the results generated by the Company's principal business activities prior to consideration of how those activities are financed or how the results are taxed. EBITDAS is calculated as net income excluding depreciation, amortization, interest, taxes and stock based compensation.

Oil and Gas Stock News: Foothills Exploration (OTC.QB: $FTXP) Reports on Uinta Basin Horizontal Gas Well Drilling


Oil and Gas Stock News: Foothills Exploration (OTC.QB: $FTXP) Reports on Uinta Basin Horizontal Gas Well Drilling

Successful drilling, completion and flow testing of the Stagecoach 111-20H horizontal well; Stagecoach well operated by EOG Resources, Inc. (NYSE: $EOG)



DENVER - February 20, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Foothills Exploration, Inc. (OTC.QB: FTXP) , an independent oil and gas exploration company engaged in the acquisition and development of oil and gas properties in the Rockies, reported today the successful drilling, completion and flow testing of the Stagecoach 111-20H horizontal well, now producing natural gas in commercial quantities.

The Stagecoach 111-20H well is operated by EOG Resources, Inc. (NYSE: EOG) and Foothills owns 21% Working Interest in the well. The well has been online for over 30 days and production tubing is expected to be set in the near term. The well has been classified by the operator as Confidential with the State of Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining, and consequently only limited data can be provided.


"We are excited about the Stagecoach drilling results.  This successful horizontal well will quickly generate production and cash flow, which is expected to payout within 30 months,” stated Kevin Sylla, the Company’s Executive Chairman.  “Foothills will continue to look for additional non-operated positions and drilling interests with other world-class operators to complement our continuing focus of acquiring producing oil and gas properties in the Rockies,” continued Sylla.

“In addition to diversifying the Company’s oil and gas assets, we believe natural gas market fundamentals have improved materially over the last 12-months, driven by record exports to Mexico and foreign sales of LNG, coupled with a strong heating season that has storage levels well below the 5-year average,” stated Chris Jarvis, the Company’s Executive Vice President of Finance.  “These conditions bode well for natural gas prices to remain firm over the near-term and throughout the rest of 2018,” continued Jarvis.

About the Company
Foothills Exploration, Inc. (FTXP), based in Denver, Colorado, is a growth stage oil and gas exploration and production (E&P) company with a focus in the acquisition and development of undervalued and underdeveloped properties in the Rockies.  The Company’s principal assets are located across well-established plays in the Rocky Mountain region.  For additional information please visit the Company’s website at www.foothillspetro.com.

“In addition to diversifying the Company’s oil and gas assets, we believe natural gas market fundamentals have improved materially over the last 12-months, driven by record exports to Mexico and foreign sales of LNG, coupled with a strong heating season that has storage levels well below the 5-year average,” stated Chris Jarvis, the Company’s Executive Vice President of Finance.  “These conditions bode well for natural gas prices to remain firm over the near-term and throughout the rest of 2018,” continued Jarvis.

Forward-Looking Statements
All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this release that address activities, events or developments that we expect, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements.  These statements are based on certain assumptions we made based on management's experience, perception of historical trends and technical analyses, current conditions, capital plans, drilling plans, production expectations, our ability to raise adequate additional capital, or enter into other financing arrangements to support our acquisition, development and drilling activities, anticipated future developments, and other factors believed to be appropriate and reasonable by management.  When used in this release, words such as "will," “possible,” "potential," "believe," "estimate," "intend," "expect," "may," "should," "anticipate," "could," "plan," "predict," "project," "profile," "model," "strategy," "future" or their negatives or the statements that include these words or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes, are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words.  In particular, statements, express or implied, concerning our future operating results and returns or our ability to acquire or develop proven or probable reserves, our ability to replace or increase reserves, increase production, or generate income or cash flows are forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. While forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and analyses made by us that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, whether actual results and developments will meet our expectations and predictions depend on a number of risks and uncertainties which could cause our actual results, performance, and financial condition to differ materially from our expectations. As a result, no assurance can be given that these assumptions are accurate or that any of these expectations will be achieved (in full or at all) or will prove to have been correct.  We have had sporadic and limited revenue and our securities are subject to considerable risk.  Investors are cautioned to review FTXP’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a discussion of risk and other factors that affect our business.  Any forward-looking statement made by us in this news release speaks only as of the date on which it is made.  Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them.  We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future development or otherwise, except as may be required by law.
