Dawson Geophysical (DWSN) Posts Smaller Q3 Loss
Dawson Geophysical (NASDAQ: DWSN) reported Q3 EPS of ($0.13), $0.29 better than the analyst estimate of ($0.42). Revenue for the quarter came in at $62.5 million versus the consensus estimate of $57.87 million.
Stephen C. Jumper said, "The Company operated approximately ten crews in the United States with limited activity in Canada during the third quarter of 2015. Improved weather conditions, operational discipline, and strong financial management, in the Company's areas of operations lead to increased crew utilization in the third quarter of 2015 as compared to the second quarter of 2015, and resulted in a 108% increase in EBITDA from the same period in 2014. Despite the year-over-year improvement in EBITDA, demand for services is at reduced levels from recent years and is anticipated to remain so into 2016 in response to decreased and uncertain commodity prices and reduced client expenditures. The Company anticipates operating eight to ten crews in the United States with limited activity in Canada during the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2015 and into the latter part of the first quarter of 2016."
