SG Blocks Reports Third Quarter 2019 Financial Results
Management to Host Conference Call Today at 4:30 p.m. ET
BROOKLYN, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 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 third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Management Commentary
“We believe the Company’s accomplishments in recent months have been pivotal in positioning SG Blocks for future profitability, lower capital requirements and the flexibility to focus more of the Company’s resources and efforts on new business development and lead generation for the benefit of future growth,” commented Paul Galvin, CEO of SG Blocks. “By designing and adopting a repeatable and scalable royalty model that licenses the Company’s residential platform, we expect the financial profile for the Company’s residential business will include lower operating costs and require significantly less cash investment, while also lowering the Company’s project-level execution risk. The signing of the Company’s first residential licensing agreement for Phase One of the Monticello project demonstrates the viability and soundness of this strategy and reduces the drag on the Company’s overall portfolio from residential projects. Based on the Company’s best estimates, we believe we are on a path to being cash flow positive in 2020. We expect the positive outcomes from this strategy to be more evident in the Company’s financial statements in the next two to three quarters as these projects progress.”
Mr. Galvin concluded, “On the commercial side of the Company’s business, we have a backlog of more than $17.8 million and a strong and growing pipeline of projects that is diverse both in size and scope. The margin profile of the Company’s commercial business remains solid and with the shoring up of the Company’s residential business model and completion of recent financing transactions to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet, we believe we are well-positioned to capitalize on new commercial and military opportunities.”
Third Quarter 2019 Financial Highlights:
- Revenue was $185,000 in Q3 2019, as compared to $2.1 million in Q3 2018.
- Gross profit (loss) for Q3 2019 was a loss of $(180,000) as compared to gross profit of $225,000 in Q3 2018.
- Net loss totaled $1.3 million, or $(0.23) per basic and diluted share, in Q3 2019, as compared to a net loss of $1.0 million, or $(0.24) per basic and diluted share, in Q3 2018.
- Adjusted EBITDA loss in Q3 2019 was $1.1 million, as compared to a loss of $760,000 in Q3 2018. (See below for further discussion about the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measurement).
Third Quarter 2019 and Subsequent Operational Highlights:
- Construction backlog decreased to $17.8 million as of September 30, 2019, as compared to $97.7 million at December 31, 2018. The decrease in backlog at September 30, 2019 from the prior year end is primarily attributable to the cancellation of a $25 million contract during the second quarter of 2019 and the fact that two contracts in the amount of $70 million now fall under the Company’s licensing agreement.
- Performed activity on 10 projects during Q3 2019.
- Raised approximately $583,000 in aggregate net proceeds from a follow-on equity offerings of the Company’s common stock, to be used for working capital purposes.
- Signed first licensing transaction under which the licensee will pay SG Blocks up to 5% of the total gross revenues generated from the construction, development and manufacture of residential housing using the SG Blocks method or SG Blocks referrals.
- Entered into an agreement with CMC Development Group/Creative Container and Spaces/Eco Development LLC (“CMC Development Group” or “CMC”) on a 100 unit residential building in Atlanta, known as The Ridge Avenue project – a $16.9 million affordable housing project.
-
Announced three new business projects:
- Creating the containers for a 5,000 square-foot, multimillion-dollar media center in New York City;
- Designing and fabricating a fully-modular, small mixed-use development, which will feature a retail space on the ground floor, with a residence on the top level in Pennsylvania, and;
- Designing and fabricating a new office space for a large, multinational company based in Maryland.
Third Quarter 2019 Financial Results
Revenue in Q3 2019 was $185,000 compared to $2.1 million in Q3 2018. This decrease in revenue was mainly driven by a decline in all of the Company’s customer types. Construction backlog decreased to $17.8 million as of September 30, 2019, as compared to $97.7 million at December 31, 2018. The decrease in backlog at September 30, 2019 from the prior year end is primarily attributable to the cancellation of a $25.0 million contract during the second quarter of 2019 as well as two contracts in the amount of $70 million now falling under the Company’s licensing agreement. Gross profit (loss) for Q3 2019 was a loss of $180,000 as compared to gross profit of $225,000 in Q3 2018.
Operating expenses decreased by $211,000, or 16.2%, to $1.1 million in Q3 2019 compared to $1.3 million in Q3 2018.
Net loss totaled $1.3 million, or $(0.23) per basic and diluted share, in Q3 2019, compared to a net loss of $1.1 million, or $(0.24) per basic and diluted share, in Q3 2018.
Adjusted EBITDA loss was $1.1 million in Q3 2019 compared to a loss of $760,000 in Q3 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 nine months of 2019 totaled $2.6 million, a decrease of 55.4% compared to $5.9 million in the first nine months of 2018. This decrease in revenue was primarily the result of a decline in revenue from school, multi-family, retail and special use contracts, which was partially offset by an increase in revenue resulting from office contracts. Gross profit totaled $629,000, or 23.8% profit margin, for the first nine months of 2019 as compared to $420,000, or 7.1% profit margin, in the year ago period.
Operating expenses decreased slightly to $3.4 million for the first nine months of 2019 compared to $3.5 million for the first nine months of 2018. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to decreases in general and administrative expenses and marketing and business development expenses, which were partially offset by an increase in payroll and related expenses.
Net loss totaled $2.8 million, or $(0.56) per basic and diluted share, for the first nine months of 2019, compared to a net loss of $3.1 million, or $(0.71) per basic and diluted share, for the first nine months of 2018.
Adjusted EBITDA loss was $2.1 million for the first nine months of 2019 compared to a loss of $2.3 million for the first nine 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 September 30, 2019 totaled $2,000, as compared to $1.4 million at December 31, 2018. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of 2019, the Company completed a $480,000 equity financing agreement, resulting in approximately $326,000 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.

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