JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- SG Blocks, Inc. (NASDAQ: SGBX) (“SG Blocks” or the “Company”), a leading developer, designer, and fabricator of modular structures, reported results for the third quarter ended September 30th, 2022.

“We delivered strong results for the third quarter that repeatedly showed growth in our core segment year-over-year,” stated Paul Galvin, SG Block’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Throughout COVID, we re-defined our long-term capital allocation plan and our share buy-back program remains in place. The buyback program reflects our confidence in the strength of our business model despite the challenging global macro environment and ever-changing shift in demand from our customers. We are in the early stages of growing our Dev Corp, SG Echo and Medical segments which will provide a long runway of growth. Since we created Dev Corp., it has grown quickly. The total manufacturing pipeline for all Dev Corp projects is estimated to be approximately $800 million based on our analysis. Further, we expect our medical waste segment to accelerate in 2023, adding to our ever-growing pipeline.”

Galvin continued, “I believe we are well equipped to support and service our backlog through the opening of our new manufacturing facilities. Our SGB Dev Corp has been sufficient in the sourcing and closing of new development opportunities for SG Blocks. We aim to continue to operate our facilities at or near capacity and scale in a responsible and stable manner going forward.”
