CALGARY, Alberta, Nov. 05, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CEMATRIX Corporation (TSXV: CVX) (the “ Corporation ” or the “ Company ” or “ CEMATRIX ”), a North American leading manufacturer and supplier of technologically advanced cellular concrete products through its wholly owned operating subsidiaries, CEMATRIX (Canada) Inc. (“CCI”), MixOnSite USA Inc. (“MOS”) and Pacific International Grout Company (“PIGCO’) announces the release of its consolidated financial results for the third quarter ending September 30, 2020.
Financial and Business Highlights:
- Record third quarter revenues of $10,879,967 an increase of $3,257,570 or 43% compared to $7,622,397 in the third quarter of 2019.
- Record EBITDA in the third quarter of 2020 was $1,868,577 before the PIGCO earnout of $576,710, an increase of $894,735, or 92% compared to $973,842 in the third quarter of 2019.
- Record cash flow in the third quarter of 2020 was $1,565,732 an increase of $1,095,765 or 233% compared to $469,967 in the third quarter of 2019.
- Income attributed to common shareholders in the third quarter of 2020 was $74,621 compared to a loss of $293,510 in the third quarter of 2019.
“The third quarter delivered solid financial results, even as CEMATRIX continues to deal with the significant project delays associated with the ongoing COVID 19 pandemic,” stated CEO and President, Jeff Kendrick. “This past quarter generated record financial results included record third quarter sales, EBITDA and cashflow. All the sales, EBITDA and cash flow growth are attributed to the success of our two acquired U.S. operating subsidiaries. Both PIGCO and MixOnSite USA continue to perform above expectations, while Canadian sales are down more than 50% to date from the previous year. The decline in Canadian sales is directly related to the Federal Government’s cautious response to the pandemic and the subsequent difficulties that our Canadian customers (general contractors) are facing while operating within this new environment. The good news is that the Canadian market is showing signs of adapting to the ongoing pandemic even with the unknown effects of the current second wave taking place.”
“As we move into the fourth quarter, project delays related to the pandemic have caused some business disruption. We also had one previously announced order unexpectedly cancelled on one of our contractors. Fortunately, during the same period, we landed or were verbally awarded several new projects that offset this project loss and which also reduced some of the pandemic related delays affecting the fourth quarter sales. As a result, contracts/verbally awarded (backlog), which includes this year’s sales now sits at $86.2 million, up from $82.2 million, of which $55.1 million relates to 2021 and beyond. With this in mind and barring any further delays, we are taking a conservative point of view and believe we will come in at the lower end of our prior 2020 revenue guidance with lower EBITDA. There is no question the pandemic is having a short-term impact on our ability to accurately predict project timing for the balance of this year and possibly early next year.”
“Nevertheless, longer term management remains very bullish on the business prospects for CEMATRIX as our sales pipeline, which now exceeds $379.5 million continues to grow. This growth in sales opportunities, combined with the government’s expected investments into infrastructure construction, particularly the replacement of aging overpasses, bridges and highways and the addition of new tunnels to carry city water and sewer services continues to bode well for CEMATRIX’s future and our early to market, but fast-growing business,” concluded Mr. Kendrick.
