HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / May 5, 2022 / ENG (NASDAQ:ENG), a leading provider of innovative project delivery solutions for the energy industry, today announced that, for the first quarter ended March 26, 2022, it reported a net loss of $3,620,000, or $(.10) per share, on revenue of $7,366,000, compared to net income of $46,000, or $.00 per share, on revenue of $12,449,000 for the first quarter ended March 27, 2021.

"While our first quarter 2022 financial performance was still adversely affected by the lingering disruptions to our business caused by COVID-19," said chief executive Mark Hess, "we see solid signs that these disruptions are fading and that we are well-positioned to make a turnaround this year.

"Thus far in the second quarter," he explained, "many more of our customers are back in the office, we are meeting with them regularly, and more projects are being planned and funded. As a result, our backlog has increased sharply over the first quarter and our new on-site construction service is poised to make a meaningful contribution to our revenue in Q2. April bookings exceeded bookings for the entire first quarter, and it was the single highest month of bookings since 2019. Our backlog has increased two consecutive quarters from $8.4M, as of the third quarter of 2021, to $13.3M as of the end of first quarter of 2022."

"Also, as we announced last week, our engagement to design, engineer and fabricate a major renewable aviation fuels and renewable diesel plant is awaiting a final investment decision by our client, and we expect our scope to be around $100 million if this project is approved.

"We're also proud of our recent contracts from the Defense Logistics Agency as well as our new contract to implement a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system for a midwestern public school district, and we believe both of these represent fertile areas for similar contracts going forward.

"Lastly, we're very excited about the improving energy backdrop in both the carbon-based and renewable markets, and are confident that these improving conditions will help ENG capitalize on an assortment of new and lucrative opportunities as 2022 unfolds."

The company's $5.1 million decrease in quarterly revenue was primarily attributable to the completion of two large commercial projects in 2021. ENG's $3.7 million decrease in bottom line performance was mainly the result of the decrease in quarterly revenue, a $0.3 million increase in SG&A expenses, and a $1.7 employee retention credit recorded in the first quarter of 2021 with no comparable occurrence in Q1 of 2022.

Cash on hand at March 26, 2022 was $17.7 million with long-term debt of $1.1 million.

Basic and diluted weighted average shares at March 26, 2022 was 35,231,000 and 27,557,000 at March 27, 2021.
