Investor Conference Call Scheduled Today at 9:00 am Eastern

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / March 11, 2021 / ENGlobal Corporation (NASDAQ:ENG), a leading provider of complete project solutions for renewable and traditional energy, today announced that, for the year ended December 26, 2020, the company posted a net loss of $625,000, or $(.02) per share, on revenue of $64,449,000, compared with a net loss of $1,466,000, or $(.05) per share, on revenue of $56,446,000 for the year ended December 28, 2019.

The company's $8.0 million, or 14.2 percent, improvement in revenue compared to the prior year was primarily the result of an increase in revenue from the Engineering, Procurement, Construction Management (EPCM) segment of $6.5 million, or 33.5 percent, to $25.9 million for 2020 as compared with $19.4 million in 2019. ENGlobal's continued performance on designing and delivering a complete modular hydrogen plant was largely responsible for this growth in revenue when compared to the prior year.

The company's reduced annual loss - an improvement of 57 percent over 2019 - was primarily the result of the increase in revenue and higher margin projects from the company's EPCM segment as well as a decrease of $0.5 million in SG&A expense year-over-year. However, COVID-related project delays and resulting inefficiencies experienced by the Company during the latter half of 2020 served to partially offset these improvements.

"I believe that ENGlobal is in a strong market position as we enter 2021", said newly appointed CEO Mark Hess. "First, we have extensive expertise in building renewable fuel process plants and facilities as well as over 35 years' experience in project execution in all sectors of the traditional oil and gas industry. Second, the company has successfully transitioned to vertically integrated project execution and delivery - including engineering and design to modular fabrication and automation integration. Third, despite the challenges posed by COVID in 2020, we made excellent progress in adding to our list of established technology and construction partners during the year. This accomplishment, in turn, has added to our differentiated capabilities - all of which we believe makes ENGlobal a more attractive, single source option for our clients' changing needs."

Mr. Hess continued: "Overall, we expect to have an increased ability to attract and perform the higher-value contracts that we are targeting, including the many attractive green and renewable energy projects in the $10 to $250 million range. As one metric of how our newly organized business model is just beginning to perform, the Company is now seeing a significant uptick in proposal activity with improving market conditions, with $278 million in proposals in process or issued to our clients already this year."

"During the latter half of 2020, many businesses were shut down, airlines were not flying and demand for many of our clients' products dwindled. Consequently, our business development efforts in many of our markets were severely hampered. Our backlog suffered as a result and we ended the year at about $24 million. Our focus the first part of this year is to rebuild our backlog as quickly as possible and we are investing heavily in our business development efforts to accomplish this goal."

At December 26, 2020, ENGlobal had cash on hand of $13.7 million compared to $8.3 million at December 28, 2019. The company's December 26, 2020 cash on hand included the proceeds from its previously disclosed $4.9 million PPP loan and borrowings of $1.5 million from its $6.0 million Revolving Credit Facility. The company expects the PPP loan to be entirely forgiven, and if so, only the Revolving Credit Facility would remain as debt.
