ENG Announces 2021 Year-End Results

March 10, 2022 at 08:00 AM EST

Management To Host Conference Call Today at 9:00am Est To Discuss Financial Results and Outlook for 2022

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / March 10, 2022 / ENG (NASDAQ: ENG), a leading provider of innovative, complete project delivery solutions for the energy industry, today announced that, for the year ended December 25, 2021, the company had a net loss of $5,685,000, or $(.18) per share, on revenue of $36,410,000, compared with a net loss of $625,000, or $(.02) per share, on revenue of $64,449,000 for the year ended December 26, 2020.

The company's year-over-year decrease in revenue was primarily the result of the non-renewal of several large commercial segment projects due to the effects of COVID-19 in the energy industry. ENG's 2021 $5.1 million increase in net loss compared to 2020 was primarily the result of the decrease in annual revenue due to COVID-19, a 15 percent reduction in gross margin, and a $4.0 million increase in SG&A expenses, which includes $1.9 million in increased business development costs and a bad debt reserve of $1.4 million. These negative impacts were partially offset by employee retention credits in the first and third quarters of 2021 totaling $3.1 million as well as a $5.0 million forgiveness of the company's April 2020 PPP loan credited in the third quarter of 2021.

At December 25, 2021, ENG had cash on hand of $19.2 million compared to $13.7 million at December 26, 2020, and long-term debt of about $1.0 million.

"Although it's clear that our 2021 financial performance was adversely affected by disruptions to our business caused by COVID-19," said chief executive Mark Hess, "we believe we are strongly positioned to make a turnaround in 2022, as our backlog in last year's Q4 increased.

"Additionally, unlike most of last year, customers are back in the office, we are engaging them more easily, and more projects are being planned and funded. We have also added on-site construction to our suite of client services, a move that's already attracted additional business and which is expected to boost our revenue and earnings starting next quarter."

"Thus far in the first quarter of 2022, he continued, ENG has been awarded a $4.4 million contract extension by the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency, $2.2 million in orders to build parking lot security trailers, and has been selected by a confidential client to design, engineer and fabricate a major renewable fuels plant intended to produce 100 million gallons per year of sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel.

"Given the continued internal personnel and proposal progress, the recent awards across several of the business lines, and the improving energy backdrop in both carbon-based and renewable markets, ENG believes it is well positioned to capitalize and to meaningfully increase backlog as the rest of this year and the subsequent years unfold."
