"Our focus as a company continues to be on execution of our growth objectives, and, ultimately, delivering value to our stakeholders," said Andrew Limpert, Chief Financial Officer of Profire. "The investments we have made in personnel, fixed assets, training, and other growth initiatives played a significant part in facilitating these record-setting financial results. As we begin selling to larger producers, we expect the concept of burner management can be more effectively shared with the industry."

"In light of the industry's recent- and anticipated-growth in production, we're seeing increasing activity in the Bakken, Marcellus, and Eagle Ford areas, with the Permian Basin beginning to show increased activity as well," said Harold Albert, Chief Operating Officer of Profire. "These areas are driving much of the industry's growth, and we have been positioned—both physically and financially—to begin taking advantage of this industry growth. We are looking forward to the coming months and years as we position Profire to lead the industry in oilfield burner management."

The Company reported a gross margin of approximately 60%, with a net margin (after-tax) of approximately 22% for the quarter. Profire remains debt-free.

"With the opportunities that we see in North America—an estimated 1.3 million wells with 40,000-50,000 new wells each year—we are focused on capitalizing on our current and future opportunities to make the industry safer, more efficient, and more compliant with regulatory bodies," said Brenton Hatch, Chief Executive Officer of Profire. "We are committed to change the industry in a positive way, and believe that our talented team, robust product line, and growing opportunities will allow us to pursue new levels of execution in the future. We look forward to working with our stakeholders—our employees, customers, shareholders, and others—as we seek to improve the industry's approach to burner management."
