Insights

Financial Analyst

Safe & Green Holdings' 2024 financial results reveal severe operational challenges. Revenue collapsed by 68% to just $4.9 million from $15.5 million in 2023, signaling fundamental business difficulties in the modular construction segment. While the company reduced its gross loss to $244,077 from $2.55 million and decreased operating expenses by 51% to $9.4 million, these improvements came primarily through cost-cutting rather than business growth.

The balance sheet presents significant concerns. Stockholders' equity deteriorated further to negative $12.4 million from negative $6.3 million, indicating deepening financial distress. The cash position of just $375,873, while improved from $14,212, remains dangerously inadequate relative to the company's burn rate. This suggests imminent financing needs in the near term.

The $1.3 million legal judgment provides potential short-term relief but doesn't address underlying business weaknesses. With a net loss of $22.6 million and negative EBITDA of $9.4 million, SGBX continues to face severe profitability challenges despite modest improvements from 2023. The financials reflect a company in crisis, with the substantial revenue decline being particularly alarming for long-term viability.

Corporate Strategy Expert

SGBX's strategic pivot through the planned merger with Olenox and Machfu represents a dramatic shift rather than an evolution of its core business. This diversification into energy expertise and Industrial IoT appears to be a response to the failing performance in modular construction, evidenced by the 68% revenue collapse.

The new leadership team, including CEO McLaren and COO Pendergrast, faces the challenging task of integrating these disparate businesses while addressing fundamental operational issues. The letter of intent to acquire County Line Industrial further suggests a scatter-shot approach to finding new growth avenues rather than fixing the core business.

While securing government contracts provides some revenue stability, the scale appears insufficient to offset broader business deterioration. The CEO's characterization of 2024 as a "foundation for the future" conflicts with the financial reality of deepening losses and equity deterioration.

The strategic direction indicates a radical transformation attempt rather than incremental improvement. Such dramatic pivots carry substantial execution risks, particularly given the company's financial resources and negative equity position. The merger strategy represents a high-risk attempt to salvage shareholder value rather than building from a position of strength. Success will depend entirely on how effectively the new businesses can be integrated and whether they can generate profitability that has eluded the current operation.

MIAMI, April 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Safe & Green Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: SGBX) ("Safe & Green Holdings" or the "Company"), a leading developer, designer, and fabricator of modular structures, reports financial results for the year ended December 31, 2024 and provides a corporate update.

Recent Highlights:

• Appointed Michael McLaren as Chief Executive Officer and Jim Pendergrast as Chief Operating Officer
• Entered into Definitive Agreement to merge with Olenox and Machfu.com
• Announced LOI to acquire County Line Industrial
• Successfully completed two major projects for U.S. Government contractor
• Secured two new contracts for Modular Construction Projects
• Announced decisive legal victory in litigation against EDI International and PVE, securing a judgment for nearly $1.3 million in damages with additional potential awards for interest, legal costs, and attorney’s fees

While 2024 was a challenging year for Safe & Green Holdings, we had several key events that we believe will be the foundation for the Company’s future,” stated CEO Mike McLaren. “First, we have a strong management team now in place, with Jim Pendergrast joining Tricia Kaelin and me as Chief Operating Officer. I believe with our combined experience we are now poised to propel the Company forward. Further, with our merger with Olenox and Machfu coming to our shareholder vote, I strongly believe we are stronger as a diversified company that integrates energy expertise, Industrial Internet of Things (IoT), and our already strong footprint in sustainable infrastructure. We believe this is the Company’s future and look forward to continuing into 2025 with positive outcomes and future sustainable growth.”

Financial Results for the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2024

Revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, was $4.9 million, compared to
$15.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, primarily reflecting a decrease in construction services revenue.

Gross profit (loss) for 2024 was ($244,077) compared to $(2.55) million for 2023.

Operating expenses for 2024 were $9.4 million, compared to approximately $19.2 million for 2023.

The net loss attributable to common shareholders was approximately ($22.6) million, or ($10.53) per share in 2024, compared to a net loss of ($26.2) million, or $(34.03) per share for 2023.

The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) for the year ended December 31, 2024, was approximately ($9.4) million as compared to Adjusted EBITDA of approximately ($20.8) million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non- GAAP financial measures. The Company defines EBITDA as GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders before interest expense, income tax benefit (expense), depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before certain non- recurring, unusual or non-operational items, such as litigation expense, stock issuance expense and stock compensation expense. The Company believes that adjusting EBITDA to exclude the effects of these items that are not closely associated with ongoing corporate operations provides management and investors with a meaningful measure that increases period-to-period comparability of the Company’s operating performance.

The Company believes the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is relevant and useful by enhancing the readers’ ability to understand the Company’s operating performance. The Company’s management utilizes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a means to measure performance.

The Company’s measurements of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar titled measurements reported by other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders or as an indication of operating performance or any other measures of financial performance derived in accordance with GAAP. The Company does not consider these non-GAAP measures to be substitutes for or superior to the information provided by its GAAP financial results. The non- GAAP information should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes. These measures also should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by the non-recurring, unusual or non-operational items for which these non-GAAP measures make adjustments.

The table below reconciles EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, both non-GAAP measures, to GAAP net gain (loss) attributable to common stockholders of Safe & Green Holdings Corp.
