Earnings

Conference Call to Discuss Results at 9:00 am EDT Today

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / May 7, 2020 /  ENGlobal Corporation (NASDAQ:ENG), a leading provider of engineered modular solutions, today announced that, for the first quarter ended March 28, 2020, it achieved net income of $1,101,000, or $.04 per share, compared to a net loss of $974,000, or $(.04) per share, in the first quarter ended March 30, 2019.

Added to the company's Q4 2019 earnings of $741,000, or $.03 per share, this marks ENGlobal's first consecutive profitable quarters since the third and fourth quarter of 2015.

In the first quarter of 2020, ENGlobal achieved revenue of $19,260,000, a 58 percent improvement on revenue of $12,163,000 recorded in Q1 2019. This gain was the result of a 116 percent rise in revenue from the company's automation segment, which compiled a gross profit margin of 21 percent in Q1 2020 compared to 10 percent in last year's first quarter. The company's overall gross profit margin in Q1 2020 improved to 17 percent compared to 11 percent in the same quarter a year ago.

SG&A expenses for Q1 2020 decreased by $171,000 compared to Q1 2019, primarily due to the reduction of both salaries and facilities costs.

These improvements, in particular the company's increase in quarterly gross profit, were responsible for ENGlobal's improved bottom line performance compared to Q1 2019.

"We are encouraged by our first quarter results," said CEO William A. Coskey, P.E. "Not only did our company achieve its second consecutive quarterly profit, but it also grew revenue by 58% versus the prior year quarter."

Mr. Coskey added: "Today's results serve as further validation of our strategic shift toward higher-value, modular engineered process and automation systems, as well as select, high-revenue automation commissioning work."

"Going forward," he said, "the company will continue to focus on building industry alliances and thus securing more of these targeted projects, most of which are estimated to have revenue value of between $10 to $250 million each."

"Regarding the ongoing coronavirus pandemic," added Mr. Coskey, "our company, like most others today, is in a dynamic and difficult to predict situation. We have a double dose of issues to manage through - both the pandemic as well as a difficult energy industry environment. While most of our office staff returned this week, we have experienced project execution inefficiencies and constraints on pursuing new business due to a majority of employees needing to work from home for about one month. It is tough to put a number on both of these factors."

Mr. Coskey continued: "ENGlobal had approximately $53 million of backlog as of March 28, 2020, after giving effect for a project cancellation and we have also had one project delayed until next year. An important metric is that we currently have in excess of $100 million of proposals outstanding which are awaiting our customers' feedback. Over a one year look back period, the company has been successful in landing approximately 39 percent of our proposals outstanding on a dollar volume basis. However, because the severity, magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic consequences are uncertain and dynamic, our ability to convert proposals into backlog, and the results of future operations continues to be difficult to predict."
