("
CEMATRIX" or the "
Company") a
North American leading manufacturer and supplier of technologically
advanced cellular concrete products announced the release of its
consolidated financial results for the second quarter ended June
30, 2024.
“The company set a new, first half record, which
is a continuation of our strong growth since mid-year 2023.
Overall, the second quarter of 2024 was similar to 2023 as revenue
grew 3% versus the prior year. On a year-to-date basis, revenue is
up 11% versus last year and more importantly, adjusted EBITDA is up
by $1.6 million versus last year and positive overall on a
year-to-date basis. The increase in EBITDA is the direct result of
increased sales at higher prices as well as improved margins to the
end of the second quarter. CEMATRIX is now in the busy
infrastructure construction period for the second half of the year
and we remain confident that we are on track for another profitable
year with positive cashflow from operations," stated Jeff Kendrick,
CEO of CEMATRIX.
“We want to recognize and thank all of our
employees at CEMATRIX and in particular our field staff which
continues to safely and consistently deliver on time, on budget,
and on quality projects for our customers. Successful field
execution is the foundation of our success,” stated Randy Boomhour,
COO of CEMATRIX.
“We continue to work on a number of initiatives
to grow shareholder value as evidenced by our recent uplisting to
the TSX. We recently completed a new financing that strengthened
our balance sheet and increased CEMATRIX’s institutional ownership
with quality investors committed to our long-term success,”
continued Jeff Kendrick.
“Our commitment to growth and shareholder value
remains unwavering as we continue to foster strong organic growth
and maintain a robust balance sheet. With management holding a
significant stake in the company, our interests are closely aligned
with those of our shareholders. As we execute our strategic plan,
we are optimistic about the remainder of 2024 and beyond, confident
that our product offerings and the advantages that it delivers to
customers will continue to bring tremendous opportunities for our
business," concluded Jeff Kendrick.
