    Cematrix ANNOUNCES 2021 SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

    Cematrix Corp. has released its consolidated financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

    "Despite the lower sales for the quarter and year to date, we remain very positive and optimistic for the year and the future of our business, as we move forward from this COVID environment," stated Jeff Kendrick, president and chief executive officer of Cematrix. "The demand for cellular concrete remains strong, as evidenced by increased bidding activity, particularly in Canada and with our growing backlog that continues to exceed $94-million. Our forecast for 2021 continues to be strong, and even though we don't expect to lose any sales and to continue to grow our backlog, there is still the potential for further delays in projects, especially given the resurgence of the virus in North America.

    "Of note, even though the second quarter and year-to-date sales and margins were lower than the previous year, most of the reduction in sales was mainly due to the timing of projects. For 2021, more of the larger U.S. projects are scheduled to be completed in the latter half of the year, which was not the case in 2020. Additionally, our customers rescheduled a couple of larger Canadian projects into the latter half of the year as well.

    "Furthermore, we continue to pursue organic growth opportunities throughout North America, and we are moving forward with regional expansion plans, in an effort to accelerate our strategic plan. In conclusion, and as I do every quarter, I want to thank all of our employees at Cematrix, particularly our field staff, for staying safe and making our success possible through hard work and dedication."

    "A key part of our strategic plan is the focus on strengthening our balance sheet and reducing overall leverage," stated Randy Boomhour, chief financial officer of Cematrix. "As a result of the conversion of the $2.5-million (U.S.) and MOS convertible note, we have continued to successfully reduce overall leverage and improve the company's working capital position. With our strong cash position of $21-million and improved overall balance sheet, Cematrix continues to be well positioned to execute on our strategic plan."

    The following are the business and financial highlights for the first quarter.

    Business highlights for the quarter:
    • Announced the addition of Anna Cuglietta to the board of directors (April 27, 2021);
    • Announced new project awards of $3.6-million and a backlog of $96.2-million (May 5, 2021);
    • Announced new project awards of $8.1-million and a backlog of $94.0-million (June 10, 2021).
    Financial highlights for the second quarter:
    • Revenue decreased to $4.0-million in Q2 2021 versus $7.4-million in Q2 2020;
    • Operating loss in Q2 2021 was $1.5-million versus break-even in Q2 2020;
    • Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) was negative $900,000 in Q2 2021 versus positive $700,000 in Q2 2020;
    • Cash flow from operations was negative, with cash used in operating activities of $1.2-million in Q2 2021 versus $500,000 used in 2020;
    • Working capital as at the end of the quarter was $21.5-million with $21.3-million in cash;
    • Continue to execute on the strategic objective to delever the balance sheet with the conversion of $2.5-million (U.S.) in convertible debt from the MOS acquisition;
    • The balance sheet was further strengthened having received $500,000 from warrant and stock option exercises.
    Derivative non-cash accounting item in the quarter

    In the second quarter, the corporation recorded a $1.1-million non-cash fair value adjustment recovery and a corresponding decrease in current liabilities under the current portion of convertible debt -- non-cash derivative liability due to the IFRS (international financial reporting standard) accounting treatment for embedded derivatives related to the MOS convertible note. The adjustment is due to the decrease in the price of the company's shares compared with the previous measurement date of March 31, 2021. The convertible note was converted in the quarter and the amounts previously in current liabilities were moved to shareholders equity upon conversion.

    Financial highlights for the six months ended June 30 (year-to-date results):
    • Revenue decreased to $8.5-million in year to date 2021 versus $11.3-million in YTD 2020;
    • Operating loss in YTD 2021 was $2.7-million versus a loss of $800,000 YTD 2020;
    • Adjusted EBITDA was negative $1.4-million in YTD 2021 versus positive $200,000 in YTD 2020;
    • Cash flow from operations was negative, with cash used in operating activities of $800,000 in YTD 2021 versus $100,000 used in 2020;
    • Working capital as at the end of the June 30 was $21.5-million with $21.3-million in cash;
    • Continue to execute on the strategic objective to delever the balance sheet with the conversion of $2.5-million (U.S.) in convertible debt from the MOS acquisition, and the repayment of $3.0-million in long-term debt and earn-out liabilities during the year;
    • The balance sheet was further strengthened over the first six months of the year having received $2.6-million from warrant and stock option exercises.
