DTG Dynamic Technologies Group Inc

Dynamic Technologies Group Inc. (TSXV: DTG, OTC:ERILF) ( the “Company”) today reported its unaudited consolidated financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The consolidated financial statements and MD&A have been filed on SEDAR and can be viewed at sedar.com or at dynamictechgroup.com.

“We anticipate the completion of six, award winning and truly amazing ride systems throughout 2021” said Guy Nelson, Executive Chairman and CEO. “This, together with ongoing and prudent processing of our backlog, the opening of our first co-venture in June 2021, and the continued development and financing of our co-venture pipeline, will all position the Company to emerge in the post-pandemic world as a more resilient and much more valuable company, with an increased focus on recurring profit from co-ventures and much improved profit outlook on a much lower level of sales.”

Summary of first quarter consolidated results

• Revenues decreased: $10.7 million in first quarter 2021, down 39% from first quarter 2020.
• EBITDA increased: $0.2 million in first quarter 2021 compared to nil in first quarter 2020.

1 Earnings (loss) before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is not defined by IFRS. The definition of EBITDA does not consider the Company’s share of profit of an associate investments, gains and losses on the disposal of assets, non-controlling interest share of net income (loss) and non-cash components of stock-based compensation. While not IFRS measures, EBITDA is used by management, creditors, analysts, investors and other financial stakeholders to assess the Company’s performance and management from a financial and operational perspective.

The Company continues to be challenged by a working capital deficit of $20.4 million. To deal with this the Company has been executing a three-pronged operational plan:

• Accelerate our development plans for the co-venture business (Dynamic Entertainment);
• Restructure and continue to reduce the ride manufacturing business (Dynamic Attractions) to withstand this industry slowdown; and
• Aggressively market Dynamic Structures’ innovative engineering capability to diversify the Company’s revenue sources beyond the attractions industry.

Our cash generated in Q1 2021 from operating activities was $4.2 million. This was a big improvement from the $0.7 million of cash used in continuing operations in Q1 2020. The Company used these funds plus the proceeds of its $2.0 million Tornado share sale plus $0.9 million of cash on hand to repay $7.1 million of senior debt in Q1 2021. More debt reduction and deferral of short term to long term debt is needed. As a consequence, we engaged an investment bank to actively implement a financing plan to improve our working capital, reduce our current debt and fund four specific co-ventures the company is developing.

Update on Co-ventures

The Company continues to be bullish on its ability to penetrate the tourist location, entertainment market by leveraging its world class attraction IP. It is the Company’s view that its co-venture strategy is well suited to capitalize on the entertainment opportunities in a post-pandemic world as pent-up demand and increased customer savings seek out memorable guest experiences.

The Company’s first co-venture, Sky FlyTM - Soar America, is scheduled to open this June in the Island in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, at the gateway to the Smoky Mountains, one of the most popular tourist destinations in America. The Company holds an option to acquire a 50% share of the flying theatre attraction.

The Company’s pipeline of co-venture prospects is geographically broad and advancing, in spite of travel restrictions. Our co-venture offices in Toronto and Orlando have been able to cover North America and the UK effectively and our offices in Singapore and Shanghai have allowed us to continue to develop our prospects in Asia and South Asia. We have three senior executives in Asia, and this is helping to continue to advance our prospects in this key market. The robustness of our co-venture outlook is what is driving interest in the Company’s financing initiative.
