含羞草传媒 Reports Strong Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2020 Results

DENVER, June 09, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 含羞草传媒. (Nasdaq: BBCP) (the 鈥淐ompany鈥� or 鈥淐PH鈥�), a leading provider of concrete pumping services and waste management services in the U.S. and U.K., today reported financial results for its second fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2020.

Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2020 Summary vs. Second Quarter of Fiscal Year 2019

Management Commentary

鈥淎s indicated in our second quarter pre-announcement and further supported by today鈥檚 strong results, our business has shown resilience amongst the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the agility of our operations and largely essential nature of our work,鈥� said Bruce Young, CEO of CPH. 鈥淒uring this time, we have prioritized the safety of our employees while continuing to deliver exceptional service that our customers demand. We also continue to demonstrate the attractiveness of our business model with second quarter Adjusted EBITDA growth well outpacing our revenue growth. This has allowed us to reduce our leverage while taking other proactive measures to enhance our liquidity.

鈥淒uring the second quarter, we reduced net debt² by approximately $20 million compared to the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and instituted various cost saving and cash preservation measures to increase available liquidity to $33 million as of April 30th. These included the suspension of uncommitted 2020 capital expenditures and utilizing our roughly 70% variable cost structure to scale back expenses in markets with softer demand. The combination of these measures, along with our healthy operating cash flow and no near-term debt maturities, has us managing our business from a position of strength during these uncertain times.

鈥淚t is important to note that our strong second quarter results were achieved despite COVID-19-imposed construction site shutdowns, primarily in our U.K. and Seattle markets, which partially offset our 19% revenue growth. In the past several weeks, however, these markets have begun to recover. In particular, Seattle is back to pre-COVID-19 revenue levels while our U.K. operations have rebounded from 25% to 60% of pre-COVID-19 revenue levels. We are closely monitoring the velocity of our job volume in all of our markets and are cautiously optimistic in positive demand trends continuing. Nevertheless, we believe the swift actions we have taken in response to the current environment will maximize our financial strength in support of our long-term strategy to drive shareholder value.鈥�

Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2020 Financial Results

Revenue in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 increased 19% to $74.0 million compared to $62.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2019. The increase was largely attributable to the acquisition of Capital Pumping in May 2019. In addition, robust organic growth in many of the Company鈥檚 existing core markets in both segments in the U.S. was mostly offset by a decline in revenue in the U.K. Operations segment due to COVID-19-imposed construction site closures.

Gross profit in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 increased 31% to $31.9 million compared to $24.4 million in year-ago quarter. Gross margin increased 370 basis points to 43.0% compared to 39.3% in the year-ago quarter. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to the post-acquisition contribution from Capital Pumping, more favorable fuel pricing and better procurement costs.

General and administrative expenses in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 were $26.4 million compared to $21.9 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase was largely due to the acquisition of Capital Pumping, which drove higher amortization of intangible assets expense of $1.6 million and headcount growth, along with $1.0 million in higher stock-based compensation expense as a result of a stock grant in April 2019. Excluding amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation expense, G&A expenses were up 13%. As a percent of revenue, general and administrative expenses were 35.6% compared to 35.3% in the year-ago quarter.

Net loss available to common shareholders in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 was $59.4 million or $(1.13) per diluted share compared to a net loss of $10.1 million or $(0.35) per diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal year 2019. Net loss attributable to common shareholders in the second quarter of 2020 included a $57.9 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge, which was required due to the COVID-19 impact on the Company鈥檚 market capitalization.

Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 increased 29% to $23.5 million compared to $18.2 million in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 240 basis points to 31.8% compared to 29.4% in the year-ago quarter. The increase in revenue, combined with a 370 basis point increase in gross margin, were the primary factors responsible for the strong growth in Adjusted EBITDA.

Liquidity

At April 30, 2020, the Company had net debt of $412.8 million and total available liquidity of $33.1 million. On a sequential basis, net debt improved by $20.1 million from the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

Segment Results

U.S. Concrete Pumping.听 Revenue in the second fiscal quarter increased 35% to $57.5 million compared to $42.5 million in the year-ago quarter. The incremental benefit of the Capital Pumping acquisition, which added additional pumping capacity in Texas, represented $12.0 million of the increase. Excluding the contribution from Capital Pumping, revenue on an organic basis improved 7% over the previous year due to notable improvements in most markets. Adjusted EBITDA in the second fiscal quarter increased 51% to $16.3 million compared to $10.8 in the year-ago quarter due to post-acquisition contributions from Capital Pumping, better fuel pricing and procurement costs.

U.K. Operations. Revenue in the second fiscal quarter was $8.4 million compared to $12.7 million in the year-ago quarter. The decline was largely attributable to COVID-19-imposed construction site shutdowns in the month of April. Adjusted EBITDA in the second fiscal quarter was $2.5 million compared to $4.1 million in the year-ago quarter primarily due to the decline in revenue.

U.S. Concrete Waste Management Services. Revenue in the second fiscal quarter increased 23% to $8.3 million compared to $6.8 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase was driven primarily by robust organic growth and improving operational effectiveness across a majority of the markets served. Adjusted EBITDA in the second fiscal quarter increased 36% to $4.1 million compared to $3.0 million over the year-ago quarter, with the increase primarily attributable to the strong revenue growth.

Presentation of Predecessor and Successor Financial Results

As a result of the business combination between our predecessor, Industrea Acquisition Corp., and the private operating company formerly called 含羞草传媒. (the 鈥淏usiness Combination鈥�), the Company is the acquirer for accounting purposes and CPH is the acquiree and accounting predecessor. The Company鈥檚 financial statement presentation distinguishes the Company鈥檚 presentations into two distinct periods, the period up to the Business Combination closing date (labeled 鈥淧redecessor鈥�) and the period including and after that date (labeled 鈥淪uccessor鈥�). The Business Combination was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, and the Successor financial statements reflect a new basis of accounting that is based on the fair value of the net assets acquired. As a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting as of the effective time of the Business Combination, the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include a black line to distinguish the results for Predecessor and Successor reporting entities shown, as they are presented on a different basis and are therefore, not comparable.

Forward鈥�Looking Statements

This press release includes 鈥渇orward-looking statements鈥� within the meaning of the 鈥渟afe harbor鈥� provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company鈥檚 actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as 鈥渆xpect,鈥� 鈥渆stimate,鈥� 鈥減roject,鈥� 鈥渂udget,鈥� 鈥渇orecast,鈥� 鈥渁nticipate,鈥� 鈥渋ntend,鈥� 鈥減lan,鈥� 鈥渕ay,鈥� 鈥渨ill,鈥� 鈥渃ould,鈥� 鈥渟hould,鈥� 鈥渂elieves,鈥� 鈥減redicts,鈥� 鈥減otential,鈥� 鈥渃ontinue,鈥� and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the Company鈥檚 expectations with respect to future performance. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside the Company鈥檚 control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company or its subsidiaries; the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the Company to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees, and realize the expected benefits from the acquisition of Capital Pumping; changes in applicable laws or regulations; the possibility that the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the Company鈥檚 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (鈥淕AAP鈥�). The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company鈥檚 financial condition and results of operations. The Company鈥檚 management also uses this non-GAAP financial measure to compare the Company鈥檚 performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, determining incentive compensation and for budgeting and planning purposes. Adjusted EBITDA is also used in quarterly and annual financial reports prepared for the Company鈥檚 board of directors. The Company believes that this non-GAAP measure provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating the Company鈥檚 ongoing operating results and in comparing the Company鈥檚 financial results with competitors who also present similar non-GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income calculated in accordance with GAAP plus interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, transaction expenses, loss on debt extinguishment, stock-based compensation, other income, net, and other adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA is not pro forma for acquisitions. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue for the period presented.

See 鈥淣on-GAAP Measures (Adjusted EBITDA)鈥� below for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Net debt is calculated as all amounts outstanding under debt agreements (currently this includes the Company鈥檚 term loan and revolving line of credit balances, excluding any offsets for capitalized deferred financing costs) measured in accordance with GAAP less cash. Cash is subtracted from the GAAP measure because it could be used to reduce the Company鈥檚 debt obligations. A limitation associated with using net debt is that it subtracts cash and therefore may imply that there is less Company debt than the most comparable GAAP measure indicates. CPH believes this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to management and investors in order to monitor the Company鈥檚 leverage and evaluate the Company鈥檚 consolidated balance sheet.

Current and prospective investors should review the Company鈥檚 audited annual and unaudited interim financial statements, which are filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company鈥檚 business. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA and net debt differently and therefore these measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

As the underlying business and financial results of the Successor and Predecessor entities are expected to be largely consistent, excluding the impact on certain financial statement line items that were impacted by the Business Combination, management has combined the first quarter 2019 results of the Predecessor and Successor periods for comparability in certain tables below. Accordingly, in addition to presenting our results of operations as reported in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, the tables below present the non-GAAP combined results for the first quarter of 2019.
