Edge Resources Inc. ("Edge" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its unaudited third quarter results for the three month ("Q3 2015") and nine month periods ended December 31, 2014.

Detailed operating and financial results are presented in Edge's unaudited quarterly financial statements and related Management Discussion & Analysis ("MD&A"), which can be accessed on the Company's website (www.edgeres.com) and on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) and are briefly summarised below.

Financial Highlights for the three and nine month periods ending December 31, 2014:

  • Average production in the quarter increased 20% over the previous quarter to 569 boepd (474 boepd in Q3 2014), despite temporarily shutting-in some heavy oil wells during the construction of the water disposal facility in Eye Hill. 
  • Oil and Natural Gas Sales of $2,608,000 during the quarter (versus $1,932,000 million one-year earlier, with WTI near US$100/bbl) and $8,439,000 for the nine month period, compared to $6,820,000 for the nine month period one-year earlier.  Quarter-over-quarter sales increased 11% from $2,357,000 for the period ended September 30, 2014.
  • Cash generated from operating activities increased 470% to $564,000 versus $99,000 the previous quarter. For the nine month period ending December 31, 2014, cash from operating activities increased 45% to $1,805,000, compared to $1,241,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and $901,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2013. 
  • Operating Costs for oil decreased again this quarter to $16.82/bbl, a 21% decrease compared to the previous quarter.  This lower operating cost does not yet include the positive impact from the water disposal facility, which became operational after the quarter end.
  • During the quarter, oil prices dropped materially from WTI US$90/bbl on October 1, 2014 to close at WTI US$53/bbl December 31, 2014, a 41% price slide in a 91 day period.

Brad Nichol, President and CEO of Edge commented, "Despite the headwinds the industry is facing at the moment, our quarterly results were excellent.  We generated significant cash from our operations and kept a very tight rein on costs and operational efficiencies.  These downturns in our industry allow our team to demonstrate our specialty, which is running a tight, efficient business no matter how hard the wind is blowing in our faces.  This quarter, the Company actually achieved production increases, without additional capital expenditure on drilling wells.  Additionally, we are looking forward to reaping the savings from our new water disposal facility, which became fully operational in January."  Nichol added, "With WTI prices hovering around US$50/bbl, we are unlikely to consume our existing inventory of drilling locations; however, we are keen to acquire production, reserves, land and additional drilling locations when the cost of those acquisitions are expected to be at their lowest in a generation.  We expect the competition for assets to be less intense in the heavy and medium oil regimes, where operational expertise is a significant barrier to entry; thus, we intend to remain focused on our heavy and medium oil sandbox where we have already established a clear competitive operational advantage over other potential consolidators."
