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 fourth quarter and 12 months ended December 31, 2019.

Management Commentary

“We delivered another successful quarter of execution to finish 2019 with multiple new contracts and a strengthening of our balance sheet with the completion of financing transactions to support our near-term capital needs,” commented Paul Galvin, CEO of SG Blocks. “We strategically licensed our residential technology which is facilitating a reduction in our operating expenses and is expected to yield a significant royalty stream in 2020 and beyond. SG Residential is off to a strong start in the advancement of the Monticello Mews and Guayama projects both of which had land closings in 2019.”

Mr. Galvin concluded, “Looking ahead, we remain focused on implementing the residential license and directing our time and attention in the medical, education and disaster relief markets. Most recently, we made several products available to the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to network and respond to inquiries for an array of products that can address needs created by this pandemic while monitoring the effect that the virus could have on our operations.

On February 5, 2020, the Company effected a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of its common stock. All share and per share amounts set forth in the consolidated financial statements have been retroactively restated to reflect the split effected in February 2020 as if it had occurred as of the earliest period presented.

Fourth Quarter 2019 Financial Highlights:

Revenue of $337,000, as compared to $2.3 million in Q4 2018.
Gross profit of $48,000, as compared to $123,000 in Q4 2018.
Net loss of $4.1 million, or $(8.83) per basic and diluted share, inclusive of a non-cash goodwill impairment loss of $2.9 million related to the company’s goodwill carrying value, as compared to a net loss of $1.8 million, or $(8.35) per basic and diluted share, in Q4 2018.
Adjusted EBITDA loss of $720,000, as compared to a loss of $1.6 million in Q4 2018. (See below for further discussion about the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measurement).

Fourth Quarter 2019 and Subsequent Operational Highlights:

Construction backlog decreased to $17.6 million as of December 31, 2019, as compared to $17.8 million as of September 30, 2019 and as compared to $97.7 million at December 31, 2018. The year-over-year decrease in backlog is primarily attributable to the fact that two contracts in the amount of $70 million now fall under the Company’s licensing agreement. In the second quarter of 2019 the Company had a cancellation of a $25 million contract. A large contract in the amount of approximately $17 million was entered into during the third quarter of 2019 for a design build delivery of an affordable housing project in Atlanta, Georgia.
10 projects under contract, performed activity on seven projects during Q4 2019.
End of year business projects include:
- Design and construction of a food and beverage provider located in Detroit, Michigan;
- Commenced work on a Build and Delivery of a Planet Smoothie, pre-engineered container-based structure to an overseas U.S. military base;
- Architectural and engineering (A&E) design for a modular office extension for a union in California;
- Production of a new “Ranchbox,” container-based residential project in Dallas;
- Continued support of SG Residential projects in Puerto Rico;
- Advancement of the Company’s existing contracts in the pre-construction phase the highlights of which include a mobile hospitality unit and a roof-top television extension located in the tri-state area;
- Secured a residential design build delivery contract that sits outside the residential license agreement.

Fourth Quarter 2019 Financial Results

Revenue was $337,000 compared to $2.3 million in Q4 2018. This decrease was mainly driven by a decline in all of the Company’s customer types.

The Company’s backlog no longer includes residential contracts that are captured under the license agreement. Therefore, the construction backlog decreased to $17.6 million as of December 31, 2019, as compared to $97.7 million at December 31, 2018. The decrease in backlog is primarily attributable to the fact that two contracts in the amount of $70 million now fall under the Company’s licensing agreement. In the second quarter of 2019 the company had a cancellation of a $25 million contract. A large contract in the amount of approximately $17 million was entered into during the third quarter of 2019 for a design build delivery of an affordable housing project in Atlanta, Georgia.

Gross profit was $48,000 as compared to $123,000 in Q4 2018.

Operating expenses increased by $2.1 million to $4.0 million in Q4 2019 compared to $1.9 million in Q4 2018. The increase was driven by a non-cash goodwill impairment loss of $2.9 million related to the company’s goodwill carrying value, which was partially offset by a decrease in general and administrative expense as a result of a decrease in bad-debt expense of $840,000.

Net loss totaled $4.1 million, or $(8.83) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.8 million, or $(8.35) per basic and diluted share, in Q4 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA loss was $720,000 compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.6 million in Q4 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").

Full Year 2019 Financial Results

Revenue totaled $3.0 million for 2019, a decrease of approximately 64% compared to $8.2 million in 2018. This decrease in revenue was primarily the result of a decline in revenue resulting from school, retail, office and special use contracts that were in progress for the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to December 31, 2018.

Gross profit for 2019 totaled $677,000, or approximately 23% profit margin, as compared to $543,000, or approximately 7% profit margin, in the year ago period.

Operating expenses increased to $7.4 million for 2019 compared to $5.4 million for 2018. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due a non-cash goodwill impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2019 of $2.9 million.

Net loss totaled $6.9 million, or $(22.85) per basic and diluted share, for 2019, compared to a net loss of $4.8 million, or $(22.74) per basic and diluted share, for 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA loss was $2.9 million for 2019 compared to a loss of $3.9 million for 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 December 31, 2019 totaled $1.6 million, as compared to $1.4 million at December 31, 2018.

In the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company completed a public offering resulting in net proceeds of $2.1 million and a debt financing resulting in approximately $326,000 of net proceeds, which was subsequently repaid out of the proceeds from the equity offering.

Subsequent to year-end, the Company was issued a promissory note of $400,000 pursuant to certain loan agreement. The Company issued a secured note in the amount of $200,000 in aggregate principal. The Company invested substantial time and resources in reorganizing its operations to support its licensing model. This allowed the Company to reduce its burn rate and outsource the responsibility of project delivery to the licensee. This initial license also serves as a template for future technology transfers. In order to gain Nasdaq compliance, the Company completed a successful proxy vote and the implementation of the Company’s 1-to-20 reverse stock split.

Further details about the Company’s results will be available in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, 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.

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:
