Geospace Technologies Slides as Oil Volatility Weighs on Sales

Dow Jones11-21
 

By Katherine Hamilton

 

Geospace Technologies shares fell after the company said oil volatility and market uncertainty weighed on its fiscal fourth quarter results.

The stock slipped 11%, to $15.38, in after-hours trading Thursday. Through the close, the stock was up 72% this year.

Sales dropped 13%, to $30.7 million, in the quarter ended Sept. 30, the sensor maker said Thursday.

It recorded a loss of $9.1 million, or 71 cents a share, from a loss of $12.9 million, or $1 a share, the year before.

Market uncertainty and volatility in oil prices resulted in lower sales in the company's energy-solutions business, Chief Executive Rich Kelley said. Offshore exploration decreased, while competition and consolidation increased.

These factors have resulted in less use of Geospace's ocean-bottom node rental fleet, negatively affecting revenue.
