EDMONTON, Sept. 3, 2015 /CNW/ - McCoy Global Inc. ("McCoy", "McCoy Global" or "the Company") (TSX:MCB; OTCQB:MCCRF) today announced that the Board of Directors has approved the suspension of the quarterly dividend payment, effective the third quarter of 2015. Declaration of dividends is at the sole discretion of the Board and will continue to be evaluated on a quarterly basis.
"Given the challenging market environment and uncertainty as to when oil prices will recover, the Board has made the prudent decision to suspend McCoy's quarterly dividend," said Jim Rakievich, President and CEO of McCoy Global. "In addition to ongoing efforts focused on preserving cash, the suspension of the dividend will maintain McCoy's strong balance sheet for M&A opportunities and the ongoing execution of our strategy, which we believe will maximize value for all stakeholders over the long-term."
McCoy Global has also recently executed on cost containment initiatives including reductions in organizational headcount, supply chain costs and discretionary spending; as well as the consolidation of its United States production facilities in Louisiana. These initiatives will enhance McCoy Global's financial capacity to act on opportunities as they arise throughout the current downturn and strategically maintain the Company's position to take advantage of both short and longer term growth opportunities.

Forward‑looking statements regarding the Corporation are based on certain key expectations and assumptions of the Corporation concerning anticipated financial performance, business prospects, strategies, the sufficiency of budgeted capital expenditures in carrying out planned activities, the availability and cost of labour and services and the ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms, which are subject to change based on market conditions and potential timing delays. Although management of the Corporation consider these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available to them, they may prove to be incorrect. By their very nature, forward‑looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties (both general and specific) and risks that forward‑looking statements will not be achieved. Undue reliance should not be placed on forward‑looking statements, as a number of important factors could cause the actual results to differ materially from the beliefs, plans, objectives, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions expressed in the forward‑looking statements, including inability to meet current and future obligations; inability to complete or effectively integrate strategic acquisitions; inability to implement the Corporation's business strategy effectively; access to capital markets; fluctuations in oil and gas prices; fluctuations in capital expenditures of the Corporation's target market; competition for, among other things, labour, capital, materials and customers; interest and currency exchange rates; technological developments; global political and economic conditions; global natural disasters or disease; and inability to attract and retain key personnel. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list is not exhaustive. The reader is further cautioned that the preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make certain judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These judgments and estimates may change, having either a negative or positive effect on net earnings as further information becomes available, and as the economic environment changes.
