NXT Energy Solutions Reports Earnings of $2.6 Million in Q1 2014
CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - May 22, 2014) - NXT Energy
Solutions Inc. ("NXT" or the "Company")
(TSX-VENTURE:SFD)(OTCBB:NSFDF) advises that its interim financial
and operating results for the three month quarter ended March 31,
2014 ("Q1-2014") have been filed in Canada on SEDAR at
www.sedar.com, and will be available in the USA on EDGAR at
www.sec.gov/edgar, and on NXT's website at www.nxtenergy.com. All
selected and referenced financial information noted below should be
read in conjunction with the Company's unaudited interim
consolidated financial statements and related management's
discussion and analysis ("MD&A") for Q1-2014.
Highlights
- Revenues of $3.9 million
- Net earnings of $2.6 million or $0.06 per share
- Current strong financial position, with cash of ~$8
million
George Liszicasz, President and CEO of NXT, noted, "We are very
pleased with our Q1-2014 results, which generated very profitable
operations, and has put us in one of the strongest working capital
positions in our history. With an existing G&A 'burn-rate' of
roughly $4 million per year, we have a solid foundation to continue
to advance numerous new project opportunities which we have been
pursuing in South and Central America, the USA, and the Pakistan /
South Asia region. Dealing with National Oil Companies and other
exploration companies can be a long process, but we feel that our
ongoing patience and perseverance will soon be rewarded."
NXT intends to host a conference call to discuss Q1-2014 and
other developments in the next 2 weeks, and will advise of the
details as soon as scheduling permits.

Field Detection ("SFD®") survey system utilizes
quantum-scale sensors to detect gravity field perturbations in an
airborne survey method which can be used both onshore and offshore
to remotely identify areas with exploration potential for traps and
reservoirs. The SFD® survey system enables our
clients to focus their hydrocarbon exploration decisions concerning
land commitments, data acquisition expenditures and prospect
prioritization on areas with the greatest potential.
SFD® is environmentally friendly and unaffected
by ground security issues or difficult terrain, and is the
registered trademark of NXT Energy Solutions Inc. NXT provides its
clients with an effective and reliable method to reduce time,
costs, and risks related to exploration.
