LONGMONT, Colo., March 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enservco Corporation (NYSE American: ENSV), a diversified national provider of specialized well-site services to the domestic onshore conventional and unconventional oil and gas industries, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022.

“Our seventh consecutive quarter of increased year-over-year revenue culminated in 41% growth in full year revenue – to $21.6 million in 2022 from $15.3 million a year ago. Both our production and completion operating segments produced double-digit growth for the year as customer demand continued its steady rise following the industry downturn and pandemic impact that began in early 2020,” said Rich Murphy, Executive Chairman. “We also delivered solid improvement in bottom line results for the full year, with net loss reduced by 31% and adjusted EBITDA loss reduced by 56%. Additionally, we are pleased to announce the February 2023 completion of a public offering that raised gross proceeds of approximately $3.5 million that will be used to continue advancing our growth and diversification initiatives.”

“More recently, we further strengthened our balance sheet when Cross River Partners converted approximately $1.1 million in convertible debt to equity. Cross River expects to convert its remaining convertible notes in the amount of approximately $2.5 million pending approval by stockholders at the upcoming June 13, 2023, Annual Meeting. This expected conversion would mark the end of our balance sheet restructuring effort that began in December 2019 when we had approximately $35 million in long-term debt, which we expect to be reduced to less than $6.5 million in mid-2023. We are now able to focus exclusively on increasing our revenue, enhancing gross margins and pursuing accretive and diversifying acquisitions or combinations within our more conservative financial philosophy.”

*Note on non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and the accompanying tables include a discussion of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures provided as a complement to the results provided in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The term "EBITDA" refers to a financial measure that we define as earnings (net income or loss) plus or minus net interest plus taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes from EBITDA stock-based compensation and, when appropriate, other items that management does not utilize in assessing Enservco’s operating performance (as further described in the attached financial schedules). None of these non-GAAP financial measures are recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance or any other GAAP measure. We have reconciled Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations table at the end of this release. We intend to continue to provide these non-GAAP financial measures as part of our future earnings discussions and, therefore, the inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures will provide consistency in our financial reporting.
