For the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Manufacturing & Fabrication segment showed a 43% decrease in total revenues to $5,823.  Majority of the decrease reflects winding down of an acquisition, with the remainder decrease due to completion of AltaGas project. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 the Manufacturing & Fabrication segment generated $16,471 of revenue, a 26% increase over the same period in the prior year. The growth reflects increased revenues related to a recovery in legacy businesses, oil sands projects, and the diversification of its products and services to include the manufacture and repair of storage tanks in Company facilities and remote locations and custom steel fabrication.

Supply & Service revenue decreased 61% to $912 in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017. Year to date, Supply & Service revenue decreased by 44% to $3,133 compared the same period in the prior year.

On a consolidated basis, contribution margin for Q2/18 decreased by 58% to $1,161 (22.3% of revenue) compared to $2,764 (22.6% of revenue) in Q2/17. The decrease reflects the decrease in revenues discussed above. Indirect costs of $543 decreased 67% compared to $1,625 in 2017 as a result of discontinuing Western. The resulting consolidated gross margin was $618 (11.9 % of revenue) in Q2/18 compared to a margin of $1,139 (9.3% of revenue) in Q2/17.

SG&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $2,285, which is a 7.0% decrease compared to $2,456 for the same period in 2017. The SG&A expenses to total revenue is 43.8% in 2018 compared to 20.0% in 2017. 

Negative EBITDA (Refer to page 13 of the Company's MD&A for definition of EBITDA) for continuing operations was $1,548 for the second quarter of 2018 compared to a negative EBITDA of $1,185 in 2017.

Depreciation and amortization of $245 decreased from $355 for the same period in 2017 mainly due to the Q2 2018 dispositions and amortization of intangible assets and increased property, plant and equipment.

Stock based compensation was $19 compared to $10 for the same period in 2017.

The Company recorded $175 in interest charges during the second quarter of 2018, compared to $174 for the same period in 2017.

The gain on assets disposal in quarter 2 was $37, and was mainly due to an asset disposal in Western Manufacturing.

Continuing operations net loss for the second quarter of 2018 was $1,926 in 2018 compared to a loss of $1,722 in 2017.

The Company has been advised by the bank that provides the $1,500 operating line of credit that it will not renew the agreement and repayment is required on or before August 31, 2018.  The amount outstanding at June 30, 2018 was $400,000.  The Company cannot operate without additional credit.  For that reason management is reaching out to stakeholders and new lenders to replace this operating line of credit.

MANAGEMENT REVIEW AND OUTLOOK

Six months ended June 30, 2018 showed a slight dip in revenue compared with the same period in 2017, but a significant improvement in financial performance in terms of gross profit and EBITDA compared to the same period in the three prior fiscal years. Revenue of $18.3 million in 2017 decreased to $17.4 million in 2018, however gross profit of $3.0 million based on an operating margin of 17.2% for this six-month period was the highest compared to the same period in the last three years. While EBITDA was negative at $1.6 million, for the same period in 2017 it was negative $1.8 million and negative $2.4 million in 2016.

The Company is adjusting to the economic reality and is right sizing its operations accordingly but haven't reached where we need to be.

In the quarter Hyduke finished up at the AltaGas Ridley Island Propane Export Terminal (RIPET). The Company began this project in May of last year. It completed the fabrication and air raise of a 1.5 million pound roof on January 27, 2018.  The completion on the RIPET site will allow the accelerated release of a 10% construction holdback.

Business in other Company segments have slowed down and the limited working capital has had a direct impact on our gross margins.  Hyduke is continuously reviewing the fixed cost side of its business. Shutting down Western's Hythe facility and exiting the RIPET project has permanently reduced fixed property and labor costs. The objective is to continually improve operating efficiency, increasing revenue, increasing margins and reducing fixed costs.

The Company has projects underway in areas of oil sands tailing pond reclamation, utilities, agrifoods and transportation. Other drilling and well servicing contractors are making inquiries about new equipment, modifications and repairs. Some companies are looking at reworking their rigs in anticipation of putting them to work in the significantly more active market in the United States.

The conventional upstream oil and gas industry has not been strong for Hyduke in the past three years. The Company's survival has been in diversification into new products, new markets and new industries.

Higher oil prices are having a positive impact on Canada's upstream oil and gas industry despite all the well-publicized challenges regarding pipelines, market access and competitiveness.

Research by Industrial Reports, Inc. shows combined U.S. and Canadian planned capital spending increased 13 percent in June compared to May with $49.44 billion in spending for the two nations.  May's planned investment showed $43.65 billion.  The research organization reported 241 planned U.S. and Canadian projects in June.

Canadian planned investment also rose from $7.59 billion in May to $8.90 billion in June.  Projects in both nations ranged in value from $1 million to $13 billion.

In Canada, process projects led all markets with $7.63 billion in planned spending.  Power and energy projects accounted for $815 million and manufacturing projects showed $458.5 million.
