CEMATRIX Corporation Reports Record Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Nov. 5, 2015) - CEMATRIX Corporation (TSX VENTURE:CVX) (the "Corporation" or the "Company" or "CEMATRIX") announces the release of its consolidated financial results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Third Quarter Highlights

Contracted sales for work in 2015 are at an all-time yearly record level of $15.0 million and a further $1.2 million is contracted for 2016. Year to date sales and before tax income to the end of September 2015 of $9.076 million and $908,863, respectively, were at a record high for the Company.

Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2015, of $4.092 million, were up significantly compared to the same period in 2014. Most of this increase (90.4%) came from a large project in the Alberta oil and gas sector which will continue into 2016. Infrastructure sales also increased. The gross margin on sales was $1 .721 million or 42.1%. The higher sales, improved gross margin and tight control of expenses resulted in reported income, before income tax provision, of $985,265 for the quarter.

Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased to $1.219 million from a negative number of $364,999 in the same period of 2014.

The challenges for management through the remainder of 2015 include ensuring the completion of the work that is contracted; working with customers to manage project schedules for 2015; ensuring that there are trained operating staff and equipment to complete the 2015 projects; and to carefully manage working capital to fund operations through this significant growth period for the Company. The new dry mix unit, which went into service in October, will help to ease the equipment requirements.

"2015 is already a very good year for the Company and the fourth quarter could be our best quarter of the year," stated Jeff Kendrick, President and CEO of CEMATRIX. "Sales and profits are up and prospects for the future continue to grow."
