Syntroleum Corporation (SYNM) Announces Third Quarter 2007 Financial Results

Syntroleum Corporation (SYNM) announced financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Syntroleum Corp’s fiscal results have shown:

• Year-to-date earnings per share totaled $0.04, versus a loss of ($0.75) for the same period of 2006
• Cash position of $27.1 million as of September 30, 2007
• Third quarter net cash used in operating activities was $3.7 million
• Dynamic Fuels joint venture with Tyson Foods is ahead of schedule
• The Company received $2 million through the sale of a portion of corporate debt

More specifically, for the third quarter that ended September 30, 2007, the Company reported a net loss of ($3.1 million), or ($0.05) per share, compared to a net loss of ($13.0 million), or ($0.23) per share, for the 2006 third quarter. Syntroleum also posted net income of $2.1 million, or $0.04 per share, compared to a loss of ($41.6) million, or ($0.75) per share, for the same period last year.

This significant increase of net income can be attributed to several factors:

• A one-time non-cash revenue of $13.7 million and a non-cash gain from the extinguishment of debt of $10.7 million related to a Consolidation and License Agreement entered into with Marathon in January 2007
• Decreased expenditures associated with the demonstration plants being placed in standby mode and therefore not incurring significant operating costs
• Significant decreases in general and administrative costs

The Company’s cash balance on September 30, 2007 was $27.1 million, and although this remains unchanged from June 30, 2007, the company did receive $2 million on October 31st from the sale of a portion of the debt from the sale.
