Star Equity Holdings reported Q3 2021 revenues of $28.8 million, up 35.4% from $21.3 million in Q3 2020. The Healthcare division grew by 16.1%, while Construction surged 64.5%. Despite revenue growth, the company faced a net loss of $2.1 million, compared to a loss of $1.6 million in the prior year.

OLD GREENWICH, Conn., Nov. 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Star Equity Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: STRR; STRRP) (“Star Equity” or the “Company”), a diversified holding company, reported today its financial results for the third quarter (Q3) and nine months (9M) ended September 30, 2021.

Following the sale of DMS Health Technologies, Inc. (“DMS Health”) for $18.75 million and the sale of another healthcare business for $1.4 million in early 2021, all financial results for the 2021 and 2020 reporting periods, unless stated otherwise, relate to continuing operations, which include the Healthcare (Diagnostic Services and Diagnostic Imaging), Construction, and Investments divisions.

• Total revenues from continuing operations increased 35.4% to $28.8 million from $21.3 million
• Gross profit from continuing operations was $3.7 million for both periods
• Net loss from continuing operations was $2.1 million (or $0.42 per basic and diluted share) compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $1.6 million (or $0.34 per basic and diluted share)

Jeff Eberwein, Executive Chairman, noted, “In Q3 2021, our Healthcare division continued to rebound to more normal levels with revenue increasing 16.1% versus the prior year quarter. Our Construction division grew revenue by 64.5% due to higher output at both KBS and EBGL and pricing increases we implemented to mitigate the impact of higher raw materials costs. Although the gross margin percentage at our Construction division remained below normal levels in Q3, it did improve versus the first half of 2021 and is expected to continue to improve in the fourth quarter of 2021 due to steps we have taken to increase pricing and improve operations.”

Mr. Eberwein continued, “With the asset sales completed at end of Q1 2021, we substantially improved our balance sheet by reducing net debt from $18.9 million a year ago to $8.3 million at the end of Q3 2021. We are now better positioned to fund high-return internal growth investments and pursue acquisitions, which could be either bolt-ons for our Healthcare or Construction divisions, or entry into a new business sector.”
Revenues

The Company’s consolidated Q3 2021 revenues from continuing operations increased 35.4% to $28.8 million from $21.3 million in the third quarter of the prior year.

Revenues in $ thousands		Q3 2021				Q3 2020				% change				9M 2021				9M 2020				% change
Healthcare		$	14,807			$	12,759			16.1		%		$	42,984			$	35,907			19.7		%
Construction		14,052				8,542				64.5		%		34,035				19,061				78.6		%
Investments		—				17				(100.0	)	%		—				50				(100.0	)	%
Total Revenues		$	28,859			$	21,318			35.4		%		$	77,019			$	55,018			40.0		%

Healthcare Q3 2021 and 9M 2021 revenues increased 16.1% and 19.7%, respectively, versus the prior year, which is a result of the continuation of the division’s recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic-related downturn. Healthcare providers have largely reopened for onsite visits and we are operating at more normal levels.

Construction Q3 2021 and 9M 2021 revenues increased 64.5% and 78.6%, respectively, versus the prior year periods. The increase in revenues for the Construction division was due to increased production levels and increased pricing on both residential and commercial projects at both our EBGL and KBS businesses, which together accounted for 48.7% of Star Equity’s consolidated revenues in Q3 2021.

Gross Profit

Gross profit (loss) in $ thousands		Q3 2021					Q3 2020					% change				9M 2021					9M 2020					% change

Total gross margin		13.0			%		17.3			%		(4.3	)	%		10.8			%		18.4			%		(7.6	)	%

Healthcare Q3 2021 and 9M 2021 gross profit increased 31.6% and 22.9%, respectively, versus the prior year periods, as revenues trended towards more normal levels and an increased percentage of high-margin new cameras were sold.

Construction Q3 2021 and 9M 2021 gross profit decreased 56.8% and 128.0%, respectively, from the prior year periods, due to the adverse impact of a rapid and historic rise in raw materials costs. We have significantly increased pricing levels during 2021 to offset these higher input costs and expect to see further benefit from these increases on our margins in the fourth quarter of this year. Our backlog and sales pipeline remain at record levels.

Operating Expenses

On a consolidated basis, Q3 2021 and 9M 2021 sales, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by $0.7 million, or 14.9%, and $2.8 million or 21.3%, respectively, versus the prior year periods. However, most of the increase in SG&A was directly associated with increased headcount and outside services. SG&A as a percentage of revenue decreased in Q3 2021 and 9M 2021 to 18.0% and 20.6%, respectively, versus 21.2% and 23.7% in the corresponding prior year periods.

Net Income

Q3 2021 net loss from continuing operations was $2.1 million, or $0.42 per basic and diluted share, compared to net loss of $1.6 million, or $0.34 per basic and diluted share, in the same period in the prior year. Q3 2021 non-GAAP adjusted net loss from continuing operations was $1.5 million, or $0.29 per basic and diluted share, compared to adjusted net loss from continuing operations of $1.0 million, or $0.21 per basic and diluted share, in the prior year period.

9M 2021 net loss from continuing operations was $4.5 million, or $0.90 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $4.8 million, or $1.46 per basic and diluted share, in the same period in the prior year. 9M 2021 non-GAAP adjusted net loss from continuing operations was $6.9 million, or $1.38 per basic and diluted share, compared to an adjusted net loss from continuing operations of $2.6 million, or $0.80 per basic and diluted share, in the prior year period.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA

Q3 2021 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations decreased to a loss of $0.6 million from a loss of $0.1 million in the same quarter of the prior year due to a decrease in gross profit for the Construction division, partially offset by an increase in adjusted EBITDA from the Healthcare division.

9M 2021 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations decreased to a loss of $4.5 million from $0.1 million in the same period of the prior year due to a decrease in gross profit for the Construction division, offset by an increase in adjusted EBITDA from the Healthcare division.

Operating cash flow

Q3 2021 cash flow from operations was an outflow of $0.6 million, compared to an outflow of $1.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The outflow was due to investment in working capital and operating losses primarily stemming from increased raw materials costs at the Construction division. Q3 2021 capital expenditure was $0.3 million, compared to $0.4 million in the prior year period.

9M 2021 cash flow from operations was an outflow of $8.2 million, compared to an outflow of $1.9 million for the same period in the prior year, due to increased investment in working capital primarily attributable to increased raw materials costs at the Construction division. 9M 2021 capital expenditure was $0.7 million, compared to $0.6 million in the prior year period.

Preferred Stock Dividends

In each of Q2 and Q3 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) declared and paid a cash dividend of $0.25 per share to holders of the Company’s 10% Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, representing approximately $0.5 million per dividend.

Net Operating Loss Carryforward (NOL)

Star Equity has approximately $94.9 million of usable federal net operating losses (“NOL”) as of year-end 2020, which the Company considers to be a very valuable asset for its stockholders. In order to protect the value of the NOL for all stockholders, the Company has an NOL protection plan, described below, limiting beneficial ownership of Star Equity common stock to 4.99%. Stockholders who wish to own more than 4.99% of Star Equity common stock, or who already own more than 4.99% of Star Equity common stock and wish to buy more, may only acquire additional shares with the Board’s prior written approval.

On June 2, 2021, the Board adopted a tax benefit preservation plan in the form of a Section 382 Rights Agreement (the “382 Agreement”). The 382 Agreement is intended to diminish the risk that our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards to reduce future federal income tax obligations may become substantially limited due to an “ownership change,” as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Board authorized and declared a dividend distribution of one right for each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 14, 2021. Each right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series C Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company at an exercise price of $12.00 per one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share, subject to adjustment.

The rights will become exercisable following (i) 10 days after a public announcement by the Company that a person or group has become an Acquiring Person; and (ii) 10 business days (or a later date determined by the Board) after a person or group begins a tender or an exchange offer that, if completed, would result in that person or group becoming an Acquiring Person.

In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events, the exercise price of the rights would be adjusted and holders of the rights (other than rights owned by an acquiring person or group) would be entitled to purchase common stock at approximately half of market value. Given the potential adjustment of the exercise price of the rights, the rights could cause substantial dilution to a person or group that acquires 4.99% or more of the Company's common stock on terms not approved by the Company's Board of Directors.

No rights were exercisable at September 30, 2021. There was no impact to the Company's financial results as a result of the adoption of the rights plan for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures by Star Equity Holdings, Inc.

This release presents the non-GAAP financial measures “adjusted net income (loss),” “adjusted net income (loss) per basic and diluted share,” “adjusted cash earnings per share”, and “adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations.” The most directly comparable measure for these non-GAAP financial measures are “net income and basic and diluted net income per share”, and “cash flows from operating activities”. The Company has included below unaudited adjusted financial information, which presents the Company’s results of operations after excluding acquired intangible asset amortization, one time transaction costs, financing costs, gain or loss from the early retirement of debt, litigation costs, COVID-19 protection equipment, unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale securities, non-recurring gain on disposals, non-recurring costs related to sales and use tax and income tax adjustments. Further excluded in the measure of adjusted EBITDA are interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation.

A discussion of the reasons why management believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is included as Exhibit 99.2 to the Company’s report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 12, 2021.
