SMG Industries, Inc. Reports Financial Results for Fiscal Year 2020


Transportation Services Company Reports $26.6 million in revenue for 2020, net of discontinued operations, an increase of $26.1 million from 2019

HOUSTON, TX, April 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire -- SMG Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTCQB:SMGI), a growth-oriented transportation services company focused on the domestic infrastructure logistics market, today reported financial results for the full year ended December 31, 2020 and released its 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Fiscal Year 2020 Highlights

·         Net of Discontinued Operations (MG Cleaners and Trinity Services), Revenues increased to $26.6 million in 2020, or about 5,100% from $508 thousand for the year 2019.

·         Pro forma revenues for 2020, illustrating the Feb. 27, 2020 acquisition of 5J for the full year 2020, (net of discontinued operations), was $34.2 million.

·         Selling, General and Administrative expenses were 19.8% of sales for 2020.

·         Net loss from continuing operations for 2020 was $14.1 million, which included acquisition expenses of the transportation services business and one-time, non-operational write downs and impairment expenses associated with the oil and gas focused services and assets held for sale.

·         Total Assets grew to approximately $27.4 million in 2020 from $6.4 million in 2019.

The Company made significant strides in its announced transformation to transportation services from an upstream oil and gas focused services company during the fiscal year 2020. SMGI acquired 5J Trucking and 5J Oilfield Services, sold its MG Cleaners subsidiary in December 2020, and positioned its other upstream oil and gas divisions, such as Trinity Services, for divestiture or sale. The Company’s pivot and focus last year to transportation services was in response to volatile oil prices and the global COVID pandemic effects on economic activity.

The discontinued operations of MG Cleaners and Trinity Services removed approximately $4.3 million in annual revenues from our results in 2020. See footnote 9 in our Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-k for more information and for the 2020 pro forma revenues presentation.

Mr. Jeffrey Martini, CEO of SMG, stated, “In the face of challenges including negative oil prices, industry volatility, and economic activity reductions caused by the COVID pandemic in 2020, the Company made strategic pivots in its business focus to reduce its exposure in upstream oil and gas concentration and focus more in transportation services including infrastructure.  Currently, we believe the Company will continue to expand its service offerings in transportation organically and through acquisition with our Buy & Build strategy continuing to acquire market share of the estimated $700 billion US transportation industry.” Mr. Martini continued, “With the 5J acquisition, the Company’s total assets have grown to approximately $27.4 million, currently representing more than 100 tractors and semis, about 250 multi-axle trailers, 10 cranes, and 25 forklifts that serve more than 200 customers. Our 5J Transportation Group is particularly excited about the possible infrastructure investments proposed by the U.S. government and industry that could represent additional activity in wind energy, power transformers, compressors and bridge beams that we haul for customers.”

Further information is available, including management’s discussion and analysis of the financial results and disclosures, in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-k filed April 19, 2021.
