Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2020

Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 increased to $14,772,939 from $6,810,714 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of 117%, driven by increased drilling rig relocations, improved customer demand resulting from lessened impacts of the global COVID-19 pandemic and the establishment of a new East Houston terminal generating additional flat bed transportation revenues.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, cost of sales increased to $15,292,090, or 104% of sales, compared to $8,674,357, or 127% of sales for the 2020 period. Cost of sales includes non-cash depreciation expense of $1,337,233 and a refundable tax credit reducing labor costs of $836,971 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, and $1,461,979 for the comparable period in 2020. The cost of sales exceeding revenues during 2021 and 2020 was the result of lower than required revenues to cover fixed costs within cost of sales, higher labor costs and increased third party contract services utilized to address rapidly increasing customer demand, partially offset by improved pricing during the period. The Company believes it can improve gross margins through additional sales volumes from infrastructure logistics market growth and increased in oilfield rig move activity given current hydrocarbon price improvements, continued market recovery post-COVID pandemic with more activity, better utilization of our equipment inventory, lessening costs of third party contract services and continued increases in our pricing.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $1,455,253, or 9.9% of revenues, compared to $1,000,032, or 14.7% of revenues, for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The increased amount of SG&A was reflecting of the 109% increase in sales and related costs and included a benefit of $129,949 related to refundable employee retention tax credits during the three months ended September 30, 2021. As a percentage of revenue, the improvement in SG&A is primarily the result of higher revenues absorbing additional fixed costs.  

Interest expense, net was $2,059,908 and $1,087,535 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in interest expense in the third quarter of 2021 was the result of additional borrowings from convertible notes payable and its related expense.

The net loss from continuing operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 was $3,928,964 as compared to a net loss of $3,975,802 for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.  The net loss in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the previous period was due primarily to slightly higher loss from continuing operations, significantly higher interest expense, partially offset by the gain on PPP loan forgiveness of $105,000.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased to $34,618,358 from $18,670,321 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of 85%, driven by the acquisition of 5J on February 27, 2020, not fully realized in the comparable period, increased drilling rig activity given higher hydrocarbon prices, improved customer demand resulting from lessened impacts of the global COVID-19 pandemic and to the establishment of a new East Houston terminal generating additional flat bed transportation revenues.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, cost of sales increased to $36,947,626 or 107% of sales, compared to $21,825,811 or 117% of sales for the 2020 period. Cost of sales includes non-cash depreciation expense of $4,074,738 and a refundable tax credit reducing labor costs of $836,971 for the nine months September 30, 2021, and $3,434,164 for the comparable nine month period in 2020, the increase of which was primarily the result of the 5J acquisition and its related fair value step up adjustments in the prior year. The cost of sales exceeding revenues during 2021 and 2020 was the result of lower than required revenues to cover fixed costs within cost of sales. The Company believes it can improve gross margins through additional sales volumes from infrastructure logistics market growth and increased in oilfield rig move activity given current hydrocarbon price improvements, continued market recovery post-COVID pandemic with more activity, better utilization of our equipment inventory, lessening costs of third-party contract services and continued increases in our pricing.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $4,584,854 or 13.2% of revenues, compared to $2,554,107, or 13.7% of revenues. Selling general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues was basically unchanged compared to the previous period. Selling general and administrative expenses primarily includes personnel costs, facilities expenses, insurances and professional fees, and included a benefit of $129,949 related to refundable employee retention tax credits during the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Interest expense, net was $4,630,685 and $2,563,606 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in interest expense was a result of the increased convertible note borrowings to fund the 5J acquisition and note financing.

The net loss from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $8,156,892 as compared to a net loss of $9,698,649 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The reduction in the net loss was due primarily to the gain on PPP loan forgiveness of $3,253,100, partially offset by higher cost of sales, selling general and administrative expenses and interest expense.

We plan to address our net loss and future operating results with a goal to achieve positive cash flow from operations by continuing to increase sales organically and/or through acquisitions, covering more fixed costs within cost of sales, improving gross margins with better sales mix adding more higher margin service revenues such as super heavy haul, and reducing general and administrative costs including professional fees.

SMG Industries, Inc.’s CFO, Mr. Allen R. Parrott, stated, “We are pleased to report this 117% quarterly revenue growth compared to the third quarter of 2020. We believe the recent improved mix of heavy haul freight and utilization of assets on higher volumes should have additional positive impact on margins for SMG Industries. The Company is also very pleased to conclude the refinancing of more expense senior secured acquisition debt from February 2020 with new lenders that offer interest only terms for the first 12 months and a forty eight month term out of principal and interest thereafter given the company substantial savings of cash flow in fixed charge payments.”
