The company’s gross margin continues to strengthen, up 11.6 per cent from last year's first quarter, rising to 30.6 per cent of revenues from 28.4 per cent last year. It reports a stable financial position with working capital rising to US$7.7 million and forecasts continued growth through the balance of fiscal 2015.
 
"Following solid growth and improved profitability in fiscal 2014, progress continued in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 with higher revenues and a strengthening gross margin," commented Terry Bergan, president and CEO. "Looking ahead, we believe the current environment of lower oil prices could positively impact our business due to increased use of highway and transportation infrastructure, while continued investment by governments and the private sector to facilitate economic growth, improve transportation systems efficiency, reduce emissions, and increase safety and productivity should drive further gains over the long term."
