SG Blocks Reports Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results

SG Blocks, Inc. (Nasdaq: SGBX) (“SG Blocks” or the “Company”), a leading designer, innovator and fabricator of container-based structures, reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Management Commentary

“Despite the challenges presented by the Covid 19 pandemic, in the second quarter SG Blocks was able to advance its core mission, raised a sufficient capital reserve for operations, and established a supply chain for the fabrication and distribution of container based medical laboratory services and diagnostic centers and the sale of Covid-19 tests,” commented Paul Galvin, CEO of SG, Blocks.

“The receipt of the final planning approval for Monticello Mews is a significant milestone that will help launch SG Residential, the Company’s licensee, which is also actively building in Puerto Rico,” Galvin added. “These royalty streams represent recurring revenue with the potential to earn substantial revenues from the three phases of this 300+ unit project.”

Galvin continued, ”We continued to sign new business throughout the year, the most notable of which was a $4 million manufacturing contract in the south Florida hospitality market. This contract alone potentially represents a 300% increase in revenue over the trailing 4 quarters.”

“The Distribution agreement with OSANG healthcare for its Covid 19 test, our product lines in the education and medical sectors with Grimshaw Architects and our ability to sell and distribute OSANG’s Gene Finder tests throughout North America are all designed to create recurring revenue for the Company,” Galvin continued. “Having access to Grimshaw’s unparalleled global supply chain greatly increases the number of addressable markets for our products.”

Galvin concluded, “We expect the efforts and progress in Q2 will serve as a catalyst for the rest of 2020 and into the new year.”

Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Revenue was approximately $629,000 compared to $728,000 in Q2 2019.

The Company’s backlog decreased to approximately $17.3 million as of June 30, 2020, as compared to approximately $17.6 million at December 31, 2019. The decrease in backlog is primarily attributable to work in progress or completed contracts during the first six months of 2020.

Gross profit was approximately $374,000 as compared to approximately $267,000 in Q2 2019.

Operating expenses decreased by approximately $24,000 to approximately $1.21 million in Q2 2020 compared to approximately $1.24 million in Q2 2019. The decrease was driven by a reduction in payroll and related expenses of approximately $253,000 and a reduction in marketing and business development expense of approximately $53,000, which was partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses, primarily due to higher legal fees and consulting expenses, of $260,000.

Net loss totaled approximately $838,000, or $(0.16) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of approximately $972,000, or $(4.02) per basic and diluted share, in Q2 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA loss was approximately $533,000 compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of approximately $755,000 in Q2 2019. See below under the heading “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information” for a discussion of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of such measure to the most comparable measure calculated under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").

Balance Sheet

Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2020 totaled approximately $16.1 million, as compared to approximately $1.6 million at December 31, 2019.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to its results under GAAP, the Company presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for historical periods. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and have been presented as supplemental measures of financial performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. The Company calculates EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax benefit (expense), depreciation and amortization. It calculates Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before certain non-recurring adjustments such stock-based compensation expense. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented because they are important metrics used by management as one of the means by which it assesses the Company’s financial performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the Company’s industry. These measures, when used in conjunction with related GAAP financial measures, provide investors with an additional financial analytical framework that may be useful in assessing the Company and its results of operations.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have certain limitations. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), or any other measures of financial performance derived in accordance with GAAP. These measures also should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items for which these non-GAAP measures make adjustments. Additionally, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be liquidity measures because of certain limitations, including, but not limited to:

  • They do not reflect the Company’s cash outlays for capital expenditures;
  • They do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital; and
  • Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets are being depreciated and amortized and may have to be replaced in the future, and these non-GAAP measures do not reflect cash requirements for such replacements.

The non-GAAP information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes.

The following is a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the nearest GAAP measure, net loss:
