TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - May 2, 2013) - STT Enviro Corp. ("STT" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:STT) today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2013 of approximately $8.9 million of revenue, $0.9 million of EBITDA and net income after tax of $0.5 million.

Financial Highlights for the Quarter and Year-to-Date:

* Earnings per share as calculated under IFRS does not include the effect of the exercise of potentially dilutive securities issued by the Company. See chart below for a summary of these securities.

The Company will hold a conference call to discuss the financial results on Wednesday, May 8, 2013 at 11:00 am Eastern time. The call-in numbers are (416) 204-9641 or 1(877) 314-1234; participant code 9530930.

"Our results for the first quarter represent a solid start to 2013," said David Deacon, STT's CEO. "Our revenue was strong, although gross margins were somewhat depressed due to execution cost and margin pressure on new orders. Our closing backlog was $17.3 million. Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company received letters of intent and purchase orders from customers valued at approximately $10 million."

"Our closing working capital was approximately $537,000, reflecting the repayment of $1 million to one of our lenders, and a reclassification of some debt maturing in the first quarter of 2014 from long-term to current obligations. The Company continues discussions with potential lenders to assist with the refinancing of this debt."

Finally, he said, "We continue to have a relatively cautious outlook on the overall economy and particularly its impact on commodity pricing, which has softened and will no doubt cause delays on approval for new projects. We are focusing on the things we have control over, namely extending our sales reach geographically, improved support of aftermarket activities and reduction of our cost in supporting the difficult US municipal market."

Potentially Dilutive Securities:

As at March 31, 2013 and 2012, the following potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculation of EPS since their exercise prices exceeded the average market value of the Company's common shares for the period:

In particular, statements regarding the future operating results and economic performance are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual events or results to differ materially from the events and results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including risks outlined under "Risk Factors" in our Annual Information Form, which is posted at [ www.sedar.com ].

Non-IFRS Measures

The term "EBITDA" is a financial measure used in this document which is not a standard measure under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The Company's method of calculating EBITDA may differ from the methods used by other issuers. Therefore, STT's measure of EBITDA, as presented in this press release, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. EBITDA refers to net earnings determined in accordance with IFRS before depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment, interest expense, accretion expense, special charges and recoveries, stock compensation expense and income tax expense. Management believes that EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure of cash available for debt service, working capital, capital expenditures, income taxes, and distribution. Investors are cautioned that EBITDA, as a non-IFRS measure, is not an alternative to measures under IFRS and should not, on its own, be construed as an indicator of performance or cash flows, a measure of liquidity or as a measure of actual return.

The term "backlog" is a financial measure used in this document which is not a standard measure under IFRS. The Company's method of calculating backlog may differ from the methods used by other issuers. Therefore, STT's measure of backlog, as presented in this press release, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Backlog is the value of revenue remaining to be earned from purchase orders received from customers. The projects represented in backlog are executed according to a schedule agreed with each customer, which could range in duration from one month to eighteen months. Revenues are earned on a percentage of completion basis. Management uses this measure to i) monitor the Company's success in securing new orders, and ii) gauge the likelihood of meeting revenue objectives in future periods.

Investors are cautioned that backlog, as a non-IFRS measure, is not an alternative to measures under IFRS and should not, on its own, be construed as an indicator of performance or cash flows, a measure of liquidity or as a measure of actual return.
