Transportation Services Company Reports $7.6 million in Revenues for First Quarter 2021, an Increase of 74% from Q1 2020
Houston, TX - 
(NewMediaWire) - May 25, 2021 - SMG Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTCQB:SMGI), a growth-oriented transportation services company focused on the domestic infrastructure market, today reported financial results for its first quarter 2021 and the release of its 2021 first quarter report on Form 10-Q.
First Quarter 2021 Highlights
· Net of discontinued operations (MG Cleaners and Trinity Services), revenues increased to $7,602,328 for the quarter ending March 31, 2021, an increase of 74% from $4,360,381 for the first quarter in 2020 driven by the acquisition of 5J on February 27, 2020, increased drilling rig relocations and improved customer demand resulting from lessened impacts of the global COVID-19 pandemic and its economic effects in the markets we serve.
· Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately 19.9% of sales for Q1, 2021.
· Net loss from continuing operations for Q1, 2021 was $3,808,568, which included non-cash expenses of $1,706,170 of which $1,418,401 was depreciation expense.
· Total assets grew to $27,242,213.
· Two owner/operator trucking companies leased onto our platform and generated an immediate revenue impact, growing our geographic footprint.
· SMGI expects to be well positioned for federal domestic infrastructure spending programs presently being legislated.
The Company is a growth-oriented Transportation Services company focused on the domestic logistics market. Our primary business objective is to grow our operations and create value for our shareholders through organic growth and strategic acquisitions. SMGI has implemented a “Buy & Build” growth strategy of acquiring middle market transportation companies and generating organic growth post-acquisition when possible, by removing business constraints and strategic cross-selling of services benefiting us with higher equipment utilization and market share. Management believes our business focus and equipment fleet position us to be a significant participant in the domestic United States infrastructure market.
Our operating subsidiaries provide a range of Transportation Services such as:
·Transporting infrastructure components including bridge beams and power generation transformers
·Transporting wind energy components
·Heavy haul of production equipment, heat exchangers, coolers, construction equipment, refinery components
·Super heavy haul over-dimensional permit-required loads up to 500 thousand pounds for engineered projects
·Transportation of midstream compressors
·Flatbed freight
·Crane services used to set equipment on compressor stations, pipeline infrastructure and load drilling rig components
·Drilling rig relocation for drilling contractors and oil and gas operators
·Freight brokerage
In connection with our focus to expand our Transportation Services business and exit certain up-stream oil and gas industrial-related businesses, the financial results of the following businesses have been classified as discontinued operations on our consolidated financial statements:
·MG Cleaners LLC
·Trinity Services LLC
The discontinued operations of MG Cleaners and Trinity Services removed revenues and expenses from our reported results of continuing operations. See footnote 10 in our Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.
Mr. Jeffrey Martini, CEO of SMG, stated, “During the first quarter, we continued to see sequential revenue improvements across substantially all our lines of business. Gross margins improved sequentially but were still negative primarily due to the recognition of $1.4 million in depreciation expenses and insufficient scale to cover various fixed costs within cost of sales. March 2021 revenues of $3.1 million were the highest since March 2020, the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Challenges remained in the first quarter period, caused by the February inclement weather experienced in Texas and general economic activity still recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. We expect to further expand on our diversification efforts by establishing 5J Brokerage LLC and substantially expanded flatbed capacity through the first and into the second quarters of this year.” Mr. Martini continued, “SMGI saw gains in price and volumes and beneficial sales mix, during the first quarter of 2021 and currently believes this trend will continue through the year. We believe the market is ripe for strategic acquisitions and continue to evaluate potential accretive deals which could expand utilization of our existing assets including more than 100 tractors and semis, about 250 multi-axle trailers, 10 cranes, and 25 forklifts serving hundreds of customers. We continue to position ourselves as a transportation services player in the domestic infrastructure logistics business and believe U.S. government domestic infrastructure investments represent additional opportunities in wind energy, power transformers, compressors and bridge beams that we haul for customers.”
