NIR Noble Iron Inc

Noble Iron Inc. (TSX VENTURE:NIR) announced its audited financial results for
the year ended December 31, 2013.




--  2013 revenue totaled $20.2 million, compared to $16.2 million for the
    year ended December 31, 2012. 
    
--  Fourth quarter revenue totaled $5.2 million in 2013, compared to $4.1
    million during the same period in 2012. 
    
--  2013 Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (defined below) was $2.4 million,
    compared to $0.9 million in 2012.  



On a standalone basis, Noble Iron's equipment rental and distribution segment
generated an Adjusted EBITDA of $4.4 million, compared to $2.7 million in 2012.
Net losses for 2013 totaled $4.9 million, compared to a net loss of $1.8 million
in 2012. The Company's increase in net losses year-over-year was driven by $6.4
million of non-cash expense for depreciation and amortization in 2013 as a
result of continued investment in rental fleet, and a decrease in Deferred
Income Tax Recoveries from $1.4 million in 2012 to $0.5 million in 2013. 


Nabil Kassam, Noble Iron's Founder, Chairman & CEO, commented, "2013 was a year
of continued growth while also focusing on building our operational
infrastructure. We look forward to further investing in our team, technology and
logistics capabilities to build a platform that radically improves the lives of
users, owners and vendors of construction and industrial equipment, and all
members of the Noble Iron family."

Non-IFRS Measures 

References in this press release to Adjusted EBITDA are to earnings before
interest expense, deferred income taxes, depreciation, amortization, share based
compensation, gain on fair value increment on acquisition (net of deferred
income taxes), acquisition expenses, accretion on convertible debt, interest on
convertible debentures, severances and foreign exchange. Adjusted EBITDA is a
measure used by investors to compare issuers on the basis of ability to generate
cash flow from operations. Adjusted EBITDA is not an earnings measure recognized
by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), does not have
standardized meanings as prescribed by IFRS and is therefore unlikely to be
comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Noble Iron's
management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is an important supplemental measure in
evaluating Noble Iron's performance and in determining whether to invest in its
common shares. Readers of this information are cautioned that Adjusted EBITDA
should not be construed as an alternative to net income or loss determined in
accordance with IFRS as an indicator of Noble Iron's performance, or cash flows
from operating, investing and financing activities as measures of Noble Iron's
liquidity and cash flows. Noble Iron's method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA may
differ from the methods used by other issuers and, accordingly, Noble Iron's
Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other
issuers.

Company's current expectations regarding future events. The forward-looking
statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as
"seek", "anticipate", "plan", "estimate", "expect", "intend" and statements that
an event or result "may", "will", "should", "could" or "might" occur or be

implied in the forward-looking statements. Many risks are inherent in the
