CEMATRIX CORPORATION ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

Cematrix Corp. has released its consolidated financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

Midyear review

The results for the six months ended June 30, 2018, before considering acquisition related costs are what management expected and typical of the seasonal nature of its construction-related business. Sales are off a little from the same period last year, but both the margin dollars and margin percentages are up for the first six-month period. Non-cash and one-time costs relating to the acquisition amounted to $918,118 in the second quarter of 2018.

The highlight of the period was the acquisition of MixOnSite USA Inc. (MOS), which was completed on May 31, 2018, so the consolidated results only include one month of MOS's operations. With the acquisition MOS and the growth in the company's Canadian infrastructure business, the company now has signed contracts on hand for $23.5-million and verbally awarded projects of $7.6-million for a total of $31.1-million, $7-million to $8-million of which will be backlog for 2018.

"The completion of these 2018 contracted and scheduled projects will mean a return to profits and positive cash flow in the third quarter of 2018, together with a return to a positive working capital position by the year ended Dec. 31, 2018," stated Jeff Kendrick, president and chief executive officer of Cematrix.
