CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Aug 27, 2015) - NXT Energy Solutions Inc. ("NXT Energy" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SFD)(NSFDF) advises that its interim financial and operating results for the three month period ended June 30, 2015 ("Q2-2015") are being filed today in Canada on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, and will be available shortly in the USA on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar, and on NXT's website at www.nxtenergy.com.

All selected and referenced financial information noted below should be read in conjunction with the Company's unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A") for the Q2-2015 period.

George Liszicasz, President and CEO of NXT Energy noted: "The NXT Energy team continues to execute on its growth strategy, and our activity in Q2 focused on the kick-off of our US $13.5 million (net of local sales taxes) survey project with our significant new client YPFB, the National Oil Company of Bolivia. We started data acquisition flight operations in June, and expect to deliver our final data interpretations and recommendations report in October. As we utilize the completed contract method of revenue recognition, our Q2 results reflect a deferral of all revenues and direct costs related to the project, and expect that our 2015 year-end will reflect a record level of revenues and profit. Also, to date, we have received progress payments totaling US $7.7 million on this project." (See NXT Energy's press release dated August 19, 2015 for additional detail on the YPFB project.)

NXT Energy also advises that after returning from overseas engagements, management will be available to host a brief conference call on Wednesday, September 2, 2015 at 2:10 pm MST (4:10 pm EST) to provide an update on business development initiatives.
