Wavefront Announces Second Quarter 2015 Financial Results

EDMONTON, ALBERTA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/28/15 -- Wavefront Technology Solutions Inc. (Wavefront or the Company) (TSX VENTURE: WEE)(OTCQX: WFTSF) a technology provider offering fluid delivery processes to oil and gas producers that are widely effective methods for maximizing reserves in mature field revitalization (Improved or Enhanced Oil Recovery or "IOR/EOR") as well as increasing single well productivity through more effective well workovers and stimulations announces its financial results for the second quarter ending February 28, 2015.

The financial highlights for the reporting period are as follows:

--  Despite the impact of crude oil prices on oil field services, which also
    impacted Wavefront's six month revenues ended February 28, 2015, the
    Company was able to increase Powerwave workover and stimulation revenues
    by $180,316 over the comparative period in 2014. Due to marketing
    efforts, the Company experienced the greatest increases in Powerwave
    workover and stimulation revenues in the United States and
    internationally, which increased $356,064 over the comparative period.


--  Although Wavefront saw total revenues decline for the second quarter by
    $187,493 over the comparative period in 2014, the Company's focus has
    resulted in increases in Powerwave stimulation revenues in the United
    States and internationally by $38,683, for the three months ended
    February 28, 2015 over the comparative period of 2014.


--  Additionally international IOR/EOR revenues increased by $132,327 for
    the three months ended February 28, 2015 over the comparative period of
    2014.


--  Wavefront over the past two quarters has targeted the reduction of
    operating expenditures dollar for dollar to any reductions in revenue.
    The six month decline in total revenues was $340,543; however, the
    Company was able to reduce expenses, excluding costs of sale and the
    non-cash impairment charge (noted below), by $504,334 and in particular
    general and administrative expenses by $409,565.


--  The quarterly decline in revenue was $187,493; however, the Company was
    able to reduce expenses, excluding costs of sale and the non-cash
    impairment charge (noted below), by $354,554. In particular the Company
    was able to reduce general and administrative expenses by $218,044.
    Included in the expense reduction, Wavefront has reduced its staff
    compliment by 28% since fiscal 2014, which may result in a reduction of
    annualized wages by $693,000.


--  As a result of the proactive positioning of the Company concentrating on
    the Powerwave stimulations and expense rationalization, the net uses of
    cash and cash equivalents was $531,708 and $45,554 for the six and three
    months ended February 28, 2015, respectively. This represents a decrease
    in the use of cash and cash equivalents of $1,076,013 and $576,122 for
    the six and three months ended February 28, 2015 from the comparative
    periods, respectively.


--  As at November 30, 2014 and February 28, 2015, the Company determined
    that impairment indicators existed related to the Company's market
    capitalization being below the carrying value of its net assets, the
    drop in and volatility in oil prices, and the changes to operating and
    capital budgets of exploration and production ("E&P") companies.
    Additional impairment indicators were present at February 28, 2015 in
    that the Company experienced weaker than expected economic performance
    and implemented operation expense reduction measures and managed capital
    programs.

    The Company completed the impairment tests and recorded a non-cash
    impairment charge of $2,968,885, which is allocated to the assets in the
    CGU consisting of $98,313 non-cash impairment charge for property, plant
    and equipment and $2,870,572 non-cash impairment charge for intangible
    assets.  This non-cash charge does not have an impact on the Company's
    cash flows from operating activities and will not have an impact on the
    CGUs' future operations.


--  The basic and diluted net loss for the second quarter ended February 28,
    2015 increased by $2,952,875 to $4,089,528 ($0.049 per share), compared
    to $1,136,653 ($0.014 per share) for the comparative quarter ended
    February 28, 2014. The increase in net losses was principally impacted
    by the recording of the non-cash impairment expense of $2,968,889 that
    represents 72.3% of the recorded net losses.

    Prior to the non-cash impairment expense of $2,968,885, the basic and
    diluted net loss for the second quarter ended February 28, 2015
    decreased by $16,010 to $1,120,643 ($0.014 per share).


--  The EBITDA loss(1) and EBITDA loss per share for the quarter ended
    February 28, 2015 was $3,853,829 ($0.046 per share), compared to
    $706,430 ($0.009 per share) in the comparative quarter in 2014. The
    EBITDA loss(1) and EBITDA loss per share, prior to the non-cash
    impairment expense of $2,968,885, for the quarter ended February 28,
    2015 was $884,944 ($0.011 per share).

The above financial highlights should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and management discussion and analysis of results for Wavefront for the second quarter ended February 28, 2015, which were filed on SEDAR on April 28, 2015.
