HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / November 4, 2021 / ENG (NASDAQ:ENG), a leading provider of innovative, project delivery solutions for the energy industry, today announced that, for the third quarter ended September 25, 2021, it reported net income of $2,401,000, or $.07 per share, on revenue of $5,921,000, compared with a net loss of $1,110,000, or $(.04) per share, on revenue of $15,729,000 for the third quarter ended September 26, 2020.
ENG's $3.5 million improvement in third quarter bottom line performance compared to the same period last year was primarily the result of a Q3 2021 Other Income contribution of $6.4 million, consisting of a $5.0 million forgiveness of the company's PPP loan obtained in April 2020 and a $1.4 million employee retention credit. Both of these items were used to cover payroll costs in order to maintain our essential workforce. The credits were partially offset by Q3 2021 decreases in revenue and gross margin, in addition to increased business development costs within the company's Commercial segment, compared to Q3 last year.
The $9.8 million decrease in the company's third quarter revenue - and $23.5 million decrease in nine-month revenue - compared with the same periods last year were due primarily to the COVID-19-related non-renewal of several large commercial segment projects, as well as ongoing delays in certain government services projects due to COVID-19-related base closures and travel restrictions. These factors were partially offset by revenue contributed by one large project that did continue into the third quarter of 2021.
For the nine months ended September 25, 2021, the company had a net loss of $1,809,000, or $(.06) per share, on revenue of $29,449,000, compared with net income of $59,000, or $.00 per share, on revenue of $52,871,000 for the nine months ended September 26, 2020.
ENG's $1.9 million decrease in nine month bottom line performance compared with the same period in 2020 was primarily a result of decreases in revenue and gross margin, in addition to increased business development costs and bad debt reserve within the company's Commercial segment. These factors were partially offset by employee retention credits in the first and third quarters of 2021 and the PPP loan forgiveness.
"While it's clear that ENG's business in the third quarter of 2021 was still being adversely affected by the lingering disruption of the energy industry from the effects of COVID-19," said ENG CEO Mark A. Hess, "ENG is strongly positioned today to take advantage of the anticipated increase in business activity in our markets. First, we have recently added on-site construction to our suite of client services, a move we are confident will attract additional business that is expected to boost our revenue and earnings starting in this current quarter.
"Second, earlier this week we announced our partnering with a leading university to build a prototype CO2 sequestration reactor intended to capture the carbon dioxide formed during power generation and other industrial processes and storing it so that it is not released into the atmosphere. This project potentially provides us with yet another source of near and long-term revenue growth.
"Third, thanks to our recent stock offerings we have a strong balance sheet with nearly $25 million cash on hand and less than $1.4 million in long-term debt. This financial stability not only gives our current and prospective clients added comfort, but also provides ENG with far greater ability to execute on many of the opportunities before us, including those in the expanding renewables and green energy sectors.
"These opportunities, plus the continued energy industry recovery from the COVID pandemic, will, we believe, produce improved results for our company for the remainder of this year and into 2022," Mr. Hess concluded.
