Energy Services of America Announces Financial Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2022

 

Huntington, WV   February 13, 2023- Energy Services of America Corporation (the “Company” or “Energy Services”) (Nasdaq: ESOA), generated net income of $164,000, fully diluted earnings per share of $0.01, revenues of $60.0 million, and adjusted EBITDA of $2.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The Company had an unaudited backlog of $206.9 million at December 31, 2022, as compared to $101.6 million at December 31, 2021.

 

Douglas Reynolds, President, commented on the announcement. “While the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 did not meet our expectations, we believe our backlog has the Company poised for a strong year. Notably, we have several natural gas projects under contract along with an electric vehicle battery project and a new school construction project.” Reynolds continued, “Even beyond our current backlog, we are seeing tremendous opportunities to add additional work for this fiscal year and have added a considerable amount of construction experience and talent to our organization.”
