THE WOODLANDS, Texas, June 6, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Layne Christensen Company (Nasdaq:LAYN) ("Layne" or the "Company") announced today that it will file a Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission with regard to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal first quarter ended April 30, 2014 (Q1 FY 2015). The Company requires additional time to complete its operational analysis and financial outlook in order to complete relevant disclosures for inclusion in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
