“Our third quarter results are indicative of the enormous transformation we have undertaken in the past 18 months to take the company to new heights,” stated Paul Galvin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SG Blocks. “We recorded our third straight quarter of more than $8.8 million in revenue, and our year-to-date revenue through September was up a staggering 2000% compared to last year.” said Paul Galvin, SG Blocks’ Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to innovate the way space and buildings are utilized and have made further progress across all of our verticals. We have built a tremendous pipeline of opportunities, including residential communities, most located in booming Sunbelt markets, a growing roster of commercial projects with top tier companies and brands, and partnering with a growing number of organizations to deliver point-of-care testing and health care solutions. To support this activity, we are thrilled to add additional manufacturing capacity which will support the ramp in activity.”

Mr. Galvin concluded, “We continue to deepen our team with industry specialists, and recently fortified our balance sheet to ensure a strong and flexible capital structure to invest in our infrastructure, as well additional opportunities that will ultimately drive further growth. As we look to the balance of 2021 and beyond, we are extremely excited about what lies ahead. As we have said, the investments we have made in the past 18 months put us in position to be cash flow positive in the fourth quarter of this year, and look to further growth next year as we transform projects to manufacturing and ultimate delivery. Beyond this, we remain in discussion with many new potential customers to further broaden our offerings. We intend to work tirelessly to close out this momentous and transformative year and set up a company that will reward all of our stakeholders for years to come.”

Third Quarter 2021 and Subsequent Operational Highlights:

At September 30, 2021, the Company had 15 projects under contract, compared to 14 projects under contract at June 30, 2021. At September 30, 2021, the construction backlog was approximately $20.1 million, as compared to approximately $21 million as of June 30, 2021.

As of September 30, 2021, SGB DevCorp. had active residential development projects for a total of 2,250 units.

Concentrated Market Activity

Medical Testing & Services

SG Blocks continues to provide innovative structures, labs, and testing solutions to support the fight against, and recovery from, the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company’s modular solutions can be quickly and efficiently deployed at key locations for much-needed point-of-care patient access, to support the continue reopening and recovery of the U.S. economy. In September, the Company announced plans to build and deploy mobile intermodal CLIA-certified laboratories for point-of-care healthcare. The mobile CLIA lab unit will be 40 feet and be attached to a custom trailer solution with the ability to provide a full array of diagnostic testing inclusive of COVID-19. The labs will be fully mobile and have the potential capacity to test for various diseases and infections from urinary tract infections, to cancer, COVID-19 and the flu. SG Blocks will own and operate these units, providing its own end-to-end solution including both staffing and billing. SG Blocks envisions deploying these medical units at transportation hubs, events, border check-points, campuses, and Native American reservations.

Subsequent to quarter end, in November, the Company announced that it has hired James Henderson as Director of Medical Business Development. In the newly created role, Mr. Henderson will lead sales and business development for the Company’s medical vertical. His role will include, but is not limited to, managing business development initiatives, supply chain logistics and day to day operations as it relates to the Company’s medical subdivision.

Commercial

SG Blocks manufactures innovative and flexible modular structures to support a growing number of commercial customers, including government and military, retail consumer brands, logistics companies, and event organizers.

In August, the Company announced an agreement with ATCO Structures & Logistics, a one-stop provider of integrated energy, housing, transportation and infrastructure solutions. ATCO has committed 20 units to be produced by SG ECHO as a part of a national roll out of modular fleet units throughout the U.S. The initial units are to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2021.

In September, the Company announced that it was selected as Street Food USA’s exclusive manufacturer in the United States for its national modular rollout of food halls. Street Food USA establishes and manages street food markets that focus on local entrepreneurship, sustainable economic growth, and small business by bringing together independent owner-operated kitchens. SG Blocks will provide architectural design, consulting, and engineering services for the project. The first location planned is in the Southern United States.

Manufacturing

After years of outsourcing, SG Blocks is committed to in-house manufacturing excellence to support its growing project pipeline and enhance efficiency and flexibility in project planning and delivery.

Subsequent to quarter end, in November, the Company announced that it has entered into a lease agreement for an additional manufacturing facility in Durant, Oklahoma. The Company had previously announced plans to purchase the property but made the decision to pivot to a lease arrangement in order to deploy capital to other area of the business. The property sits on approximately sixteen acres of land with a 55,000 SF manufacturing facility comprised of two full production lines. With this additional manufacturing space, the Company expects to triple its manufacturing capacity. The Company has received a forgivable loan of $750,000 granted by the Durant Industrial Authority, a public trust authority of the City of Durant, to make renovations to this facility.

Additionally, subsequent to quarter end, in November, the Company, on behalf of its development subsidiary, SGB Development Corp. (“SG DevCorp”), executed a purchase sale agreement for a 114-acre parcel in Durant. SGB Development Corp. plans to convert the land to additional factory space to meet growing demand, as well as develop approximately 300 workforce residential units for rent.

While there are a number of legacy project commitments remaining from the acquisition of SG ECHO, that will be completed at a cash loss in 2021, going forward, the Company expects to manufacture future projects at a margin of approximately 15%.

SG Development Corporation

The Company formed SGB DevCorp. in February 2021 to deliver residential units across the country. The launch of SGB DevCorp. is expected to provide a host of benefits to SG Blocks, including: i) keeping manufacturing near 100% capacity to provide a steady and visible flow of manufacturing income, ii) participation in project fees, and iii) potential profit from asset sales.

During the third quarter 2021, the Company continued its work to advance four projects previously announced.

Lago Vista, on Lake Travis, on the Colorado River in Austin, Texas. The project is expected to consist of up to 225 one- and two-bedroom condominium units, as well as amenities including a community center, marina and health club. Development work is expected to commence in the second quarter of 2022, with an anticipated completion date in the second quarter of 2023. SG Blocks expects to capture approximately $25 million in manufacturing revenue over the life of the project. The Company also anticipates that its minority interest in the sale of the units will be no less than approximately $5.0 million as units are sold.

A 50% membership interest to build a 138-unit, 125,000 square foot affordable housing community in East Point, GA within the Atlanta metropolitan area. The community will be known as “Norman Berry Village,” and the units will be constructed at the Company’s manufacturing facilities in Durant, OK and shipped to Atlanta. SGB DevCorp. has partnered with CMC Development Group, ZT Architecture & Land Development, and Community Development Consortium on the project. The Company expects to complete the project at a cost of approximately $15 million – $20 million. SGB DevCorp. will control the planning and construction process, and earn manufacturing revenue, as well as a share of development fees.

Monticello Mews, a multi-family development project located in the Catskills region of New York. Upon completion, the development is expected to consist of 187 townhomes with one- and two-bedroom units, with amenities including a clubhouse, gym, and outdoor green spaces. The project is expected to be complete in the third quarter of 2023. The Company has carried interest in this project of approximately $650,000, and expects to earn a preferred payment upon completion of the project.

A 10% non-dilutable equity interest in JDI-Cumberland Inlet, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, contributing $3,000,000 in capital to develop Cumberland Inlet, a 1,286 acre waterfront parcel in historic downtown St. Marys, Georgia. Modular housing units for the project will be produced at the Company’s manufacturing facilities in Durant, OK, with gross potential manufacturing revenues totaling approximately $256 million, making Cumberland Inlet SGB DevCorp.’s largest project to date. The development is expected to commence site work in the fourth quarter of 2021, with initial deliveries of modular units expected in third quarter of 2022.

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: i) 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:

In evaluating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses that are the same or similar to some of the adjustments made in our calculations, and our presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed to mean that our future results will be unaffected by such adjustment. Management compensates for these limitations by using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental financial metrics and in conjunction with our results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP information should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes.
