Research Report Highlights Undervalued Resource Sector Shares; Enterprise Group’s (TSX: $E) Strong Growth Continues into 2017




March 28, 2017 - St. Albert, AB – (Investorideas.com Newswire) Enterprise Group, Inc. (“Enterprise,” or “the Company”) [TSX: E], a consolidator of services to the energy sector is focused on construction services and specialized equipment rental, today announced that Chris Temple, Editor of US-based subscription newsletter, The National Investor has released a comprehensive report on the Company.

The report succinctly recounts Enterprise’s history in the context of the challenging Western Canadian resource market: seeing oil drop from $100 a barrel in 2014 to under $30 and currently $47.


Mr. Temple states, “Together with the stabilization in energy prices helping out the energy industry, the better environment is giving an early boost to federal and provincial spending on infrastructure. Enterprise SVP Des O'Kell recently told me, in fact, that the January-February time frame this year (2017) has seen Enterprise's infrastructure folks booked to near-full capacity.”

The National Investor report should be read in conjunction with Enterprise’s recent Letter to Shareholders.


Salient investment points advanced by Mr. Temple:

·        Trading at a market price of C$0.32, shares are trading at 40% of book value of C$0.82
·        Historically normal share prices tend to be 2-3 times book value
·        Substantial increase in business not yet reflected in share price
·        Management has significantly increased (by 275%) its ownership stake from 6.7% in 2014 to 18.4% currently
·        Buy recommendation based on improving metrics as well as management’s ownership incentive
·        Significant dollars are being allocated by government for needed and/or overdue work of various kinds.




For Q4 ending December 31, 2016, Enterprise saw a 20 percent increase in revenue to C$8.3 million from C$6.9 million for the same period 2016. Gross profit margin rose to 29% from 5% in Q4 2015.

As well, the Company also reported positive EBITDA of C$1.8 million for Q4 2016 versus (C$120,950) 2015. For the same period, EBITDA rose to 22% from negative 2% in Q4 2015.

While it has been an extremely challenging period for resource companies in Western Canada, Enterprise has demonstrated its confidence and ability to analogously 'weather the storm' strongly while many competitors and clients are either financially impaired or gone.



In conclusion, Mr. Temple states: And Enterprise Group--trading at much less than half its book value--is among my selected recommendations of growth-oriented companies because of my view that it represents one of the most incredible bargains you can find.”
