Quattro Releases 2nd Quarter Financials Reporting Net Earnings of $0.04 Per Share

CALGARY, Alberta, Aug. 26, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quattro Exploration and Production Ltd. (TSX-V:QXP) ("Quattro" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the filing of its second quarter 2015 financial statements, reporting net earnings of CDN $0.04 per share.

The Company reported the following results for the 3 months ending June 30^th, 2015:

During the 3 months ended June 30, 2015, Quattro's cash-flow from operations was $703,668, and the Company's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) was $2,954,307 including a gain of $2,297,919 recorded on the acquisitions completed in the second quarter. Although a non IFRS accounting term, the Company believes EBITDA provides further guidance of funds flowing from operations for Quattro, and provides investors an opportunity to understand the Company's capacity to fund its operations and ability to continue to grow during times of volatility.

Production averaged 1,371 boe per day due to Quattro being required to shut-in all of the Company's British Columbia production for the last 21 days of June resulting in the exit rate for production being restricted to 1,150 boe per day.  Facilities in both Alberta and British Columbia continue to go through various maintenance turn-a-rounds, including a third-party maintenance program at Station 2 in British Columbia that continued into July, a key gathering and compression facility in the province. Quattro managed through this period, limiting its cost of operations to an average of $14.52 per boe during the quarter despite the reduced production rates endured in the month of June.

"The second quarter of 2015 was a transitionary period for the Company," stated Leonard B. Van Betuw, President and CEO of Quattro. "The Company's year over year activities have resulted in oil and natural gas reserves growing by 120% net of production in the trailing 12 months and additions to the company inventory of low cost remediation opportunities through the completion of three acquisitions in the 2^nd quarter. All capable of supporting capital expenditures that continue to offer strong returns and incremental growth within the context of the current price environment.  These activities continue to position Quattro, in the current environment, for up to the next 36 months to advance its business plan. Taking a measured approach utilizing a combination of proven exploration and production techniques in step with conservative financial planning."

The Company also reported a onetime G&A expense of $164,733 related to the sale and discontinuation of operations in the McMullen region of Alberta. The Company continues to focus on operations within its core natural gas and conventional oil producing regions. The remaining facilities turn-a-rounds by mid-stream pipeline companies are anticipated to be completed in the third quarter of 2015. The Company will continue to work towards its target of reaching its next incremental operational goal of $10 per boe in 2015 in combination with a corporate G&A cost of $2.50 per boe, based on an average daily production rate of 2,500 boe per day.
