SG Blocks Reports Second Quarter 2019 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 and six months ended June 30, 2019.

Management Commentary

“This was a productive quarter for SG Blocks, as we achieved several significant milestones to drive progress at the 302-unit multifamily project in Sullivan County, New York or the Monticello project, creating the template for future projects that will create lasting value for our shareholders,” commented Paul Galvin, CEO of SG Blocks. “During and subsequent to the quarter we have entered into a long-term teaming agreement with Geis Companies, a premier design/build company, to provide construction related services and perform all site and civil work and installation services on the Monticello project. In July 2019, we executed a governing company agreement, along with another investor, to create a repeatable financial structure for the Monticello project. SG Blocks’ contribution is capped at $1.3 million from cash collected in the first phase of the Monticello project.”

Mr. Galvin continued, “In late July 2019, third party investors completed the $5.0 million equity financing for the first phase of construction for Monticello and the capital structure is accretive to SG Blocks shareholders. With these steps completed, we believe we have created a repeatable and scalable model that will give us more control, and once completed, more returns on future projects. Projected Construction costs in the first phase of the project are approximately $22 million which translate into approximately $13 million in revenues for SG Blocks and the total construction costs of the project are approximately $55 million.”

Mr. Galvin concluded, “Large projects often come with less predictable timelines, and this is no exception. But the pieces are now in place, and we have adapted based on our experience from prior projects, creating a model that we believe minimizes risk, maximizes our ability to deliver and should reward our shareholders as these projects are completed and ultimately sold.”

Second Quarter 2019 Financial Highlights:

• Revenue decreased 68.4% to $728,000 in Q2 2019, as compared to $2.3 million in Q2 2018.
• Gross profit for Q2 2019 increased to $267,000 as compared to $32,000 in Q2 2018. Gross profit margin as a percentage of revenue increased to 36.7% in Q2 2019, as compared to 1.4% in Q2 2018.
• Net loss totaled $972,000, or $(0.20) per basic and diluted share, in Q2 2019, as compared to a net loss of $1.2 million, or $(0.29) per basic and diluted share, in Q2 2018.
• Adjusted EBITDA loss in Q2 2019 decreased to $755,000, as compared to $999,000 in Q2 2018. (See below for further discussion about the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measurement).

Second Quarter 2019 and Subsequent Operational Highlights:

• Construction backlog decreased to $70.8 million as of June 30, 2019, as compared to $97.7 million at December 31, 2018. The decrease in backlog at June 30, 2019 from the prior year end is primarily attributable to the cancellation of a $25 million contract during the second quarter.
• Performed activity on nine projects during Q2 2019.
• Raised approximately $1.14 million in aggregate net proceeds from a follow-on equity offerings of the Company’s common stock, to be used for working capital purposes.
• Entered into a teaming agreement with Geis Companies, a premier design/build company headquartered in Streetsboro, Ohio. The first joint project will be the Monticello project in Sullivan County, New York. Under terms of the teaming agreement, Geis will provide construction related services, and perform all site and civil work and installation services. In addition, Geis has bonding capacity up to $50 million, which is beneficial for our customers, as it potentially reduces loan guarantees and cash requirements for certain projects.

Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results

Revenue in Q2 2019 totaled $728,000, a decrease of 68.4% compared to $2.3 million in Q2 2018. This decrease in revenue was mainly driven by a decline in the Company’s school and special use projects. Construction backlog decreased to $70.8 million as of June 30, 2019, as compared to $97.7 million at December 31, 2018. The decrease in backlog at June 30, 2019 from the prior year end is primarily attributable to the cancellation of a $25.0 million contract during the second quarter Gross profit for Q2 2019 increased to $267,000 as compared to $32,000 in Q2 2018. Gross profit margin as a percentage of revenue increased to 36.7% in Q2 2019, as compared to 1.4% in Q2 2018.

Operating expenses remained mostly unchanged at $1.24 million in Q2 2019 compared to $1.27 million in Q2 2018.

Net loss totaled $972,000, or $(0.20) per basic and diluted share, in Q2 2019, compared to a net loss of $1.2 million, or $(0.29) per basic and diluted share, in Q2 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA loss decreased to $755,000 in Q2 2019 from $999,000 in Q2 2018. 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").

Year-to-date 2019 Financial Results

Revenue in the first six months of 2019 totaled $2.5 million, a decrease of 36.0% compared to $3.8 million in the first six months of 2018. This decrease in revenue was primarily the result of a decline in the Company’s school and special use projects as compared to 2018. Gross profit totaled $811,000, or 32.9% profit margin, for the first six months of 2019 as compared to $195,000, or 5.1% profit margin, in the year ago period.

Operating expenses increased slightly to $2.3 million for the first six months of 2019 compared to $2.2 million for the first six months of 2018. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to an increase in payroll and related expenses.

Net loss totaled $1.5 million, or $(0.32) per basic and diluted share, for the first six months of 2019, compared to a net loss of $2.0 million, or $(0.47) per basic and diluted share, for the first six months of 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA loss decreased to $1.0 million for the first six months of 2019, an improvement of $481,000 compared to a loss of $1.5 million for the first six months of 2018. 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 GAAP.

Balance Sheet

Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2019 totaled $174,000, as compared to $1.4 million at December 31, 2018. During the third quarter of 2019, the Company completed a $765,000 equity financing, resulting in approximately $587,000 of net proceeds.

Further details about the Company’s results in the second quarter of 2019 will be available in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, accessible in the investor relations section of the Company’s website at www.sgblocks.com and through the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s website.

Outlook

“This progress is not reflected in our second quarter financial results, but we believe our achievements position us to generate revenue of approximately $13 million in the first phase of the Monticello project with a gross profit target of approximately $2.6 million,” added Mr. Galvin. “For perspective, $13 million is more revenue than we have recognized in any 12-month period in our history; and this is from just one phase of one project. We are excited about additional projects that are working their way through our pipeline and backlog, which could potentially translate to incremental revenue over the next 12 months.”

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 as 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.

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