Atlas Energy reports Q1 EPS 26c, consensus 41c

Reports Q1 revenue $192.67M, consensus $195.81M. John Turner, president, CEO and CFO, commented, “The first quarter was a monumental one for our company with the closing of the Hi-Crush acquisition. We are already realizing benefits from the transaction through increased scale and are excited with the way the transaction positions us for long-term success. We’re looking forward to the remainder of the year, as we recently floated our two new dredges at our Kermit facility and began producing sand from the eighth OnCore mine, which is located in the Midland Basin. Our response to the recent mechanical fire at our Kermit facility was swift and decisive, and I’m proud of the team’s efforts to insulate our customers from any disruption in service. We expect to continue servicing our customers while we finish up the repairs to the facility.”
