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 twelve months ended December 31, 2014 reflect continued growth in the Company's Compression and Process Services division and moderately higher Western Canadian oil and natural gas drilling and completion activity as compared to 2013. An unanticipated and substantial reduction in the drilling program of a significant customer during the fourth quarter of 2014 negatively impacted Total Energy's Contract Drilling Services division.
Total Energy's Contract Drilling Services division achieved 49% utilization during the fourth quarter of 2014, recording 755 operating days (spud to release) with a fleet of 17 rigs, compared to 881 operating days, or 60% utilization, during the fourth quarter of 2013 with a fleet of 16 rigs. Revenue per operating day increased 4% for the fourth quarter of 2014 relative to the prior year comparable period due to higher pricing and the mix of equipment operating. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, the Contract Drilling Services division achieved 3,038 operating days (51% utilization), compared to 2,814 operating days (48% utilization) for 2013. The Rentals and Transportation Services division achieved a utilization rate on major rental equipment of 44% during the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to a 43% utilization rate during the fourth quarter of 2013. For 2014, rental equipment utilization averaged 41% as compared to 38% for 2013. The Rentals and Transportation Services division exited 2014 with approximately 10,000 pieces of rental equipment and 109 heavy trucks as compared to 9,700 rental pieces and 100 heavy trucks at the end of 2013. The Compression and Process Services division generated revenues of $68.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014 compared to $39.0 million for the same period in 2013, an increase of 76%. For 2014, revenues increased by 38% to $241.0 million compared to $174.7 million in 2013. The Compression and Process Services division exited 2014 with a $108.0 million backlog of fabrication sales orders as compared to $60.1 million at December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2014, approximately 45,000 horsepower of compression equipment was on rent compared to 43,000 horsepower on rent at December 31, 2013. The gas compression rental fleet operated at an average utilization rate of 89% for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2014, respectively, as compared to 87% and 86% for the same periods in 2013.
During the fourth quarter, Total Energy declared a quarterly dividend of $0.06 per share to shareholders of record on December 31, 2014. This dividend was paid on January 30, 2015.
OUTLOOK
The precipitous decline in oil prices that began in late 2014 has resulted in substantial announced decreases to 2015 capital expenditure plans by North American oil and natural gas producers. As such, Total Energy expects that 2015 will be a challenging year for energy services providers. The Company has taken steps to right-size operations in response to reduced customer demand, particularly in the Contract Drilling Services and Rentals and Transportation Services divisions, and additional measures to rationalize the Company's operating cost structure will be taken as future industry conditions may warrant. While the challenging industry conditions are expected to weigh upon the Company's Compression and Process Services division, a record fabrication backlog at year end provides some measure of support for 2015 activity levels.
Total Energy's financial condition remains strong with a long-term debt (including convertible debentures) to long-term debt plus equity ratio of 0.15 to 1.0, $82.3 million of positive working capital and no net debt as at December 31, 2014. Total Energy's $35 million operating facility was recently renewed to June 2017 and is currently fully available and undrawn.
On January 16, 2015, Total Energy announced its preliminary capital expenditure budget for 2015 of $13.6 million. The expenditure of this budget is discretionary and no substantial capital expenditure commitments have been made to date. Total Energy's strong financial position, prudent dividend policy and minimal capital expenditure commitments positions the Company well to capitalize on any opportunities that may arise during this challenging and uncertain period.
CONFERENCE CALL
At 2:30 p.m. MST today, Total Energy will conduct a conference call and webcast to discuss its fourth quarter financial results. Daniel Halyk, President & Chief Executive Officer, will host the conference call. The call is open to Shareholders and all other interested persons.

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 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. 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 approximate 3.1
million common shares issuable upon the entire conversion of the $69
million principal amount of convertible debentures issued by the
Company in February 2011.
(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 year ended December 31, 2013 is net of $15.3
million of income taxes paid during the period that relates to 2012
taxable income as a result of the Company not having been required
to make income tax installment payments during 2012.
