CES Synergies Reports 2015 Financial Results and Provides Business Update
2015 Revenue $18.7 Million; 4th Quarter Revenue up 17% Over Prior Quarter
/EINPresswire.com/ -- CRYSTAL SPRINGS, FL--(Marketwired - March 30, 2016) - CES Synergies, Inc. (OTC PINK: CESX) ("CES" or the "Company"), a full service environmental, asbestos abatement and demolition company, today announced financial results for the year ending December 31, 2015 and provided a general business update.
John Tostanoski, CEO of CES Synergies, commented, "Falling short of the targeted levels for the year as a whole, both revenue and profitability showed considerable, positive movement in the fourth quarter of 2015, and revenue for the company exceeded $18 million for 2015. The Company's renewed focus on profitability in the fourth quarter, coupled with some large contract wins, resulted in a 17% increase in overall revenue in comparison to the third quarter. In addition, gross margins increased dramatically to 30% in the fourth quarter, versus previous periods with margins below 15%.
"Based on the positive gross and net margins seen in the fourth quarter of 2015 and the beginning of 2016, together with the company's reduced fixed cost structure, we are very encouraged about the company's position going forward. In addition to an organizational emphasis on profitability, the gross profit margin has benefited from the estimating/project management system implement during the 3
"As previously stated, the 38 contracts secured in the third quarter of 2015, valued at $1.4 million, did commence in the fourth quarter of 2015, and helped the company realize over 8% EBITA on almost $5.5 million for the quarter. At the end of 2015, we had a backlog of demolition contracts valued at $3.96 million, and are currently carrying a $4.75 million backlog in progress. The company was recently awarded a term contract by a Florida DOT district comprising 12 counties, which we believe will continue to expand our revenues moving forward.
"With the strength of our current markets and a leaner, more focused CES, excellent prospects exist for continued profitability. We are excited for 2016 to fully demonstrate the net result of the improvements that have been made."
2015 Year End Financial Results
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2015 decreased 10% to $18.728 million versus $20.900 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The decrease in revenue was consistent for both remediation (down 10%) and demolition (down 11%) segments. The remediation segment sales decreased in 2015, primarily because of lower revenues in Florida and with the completion of the DTE Power Plant in Michigan. The decrease in the demolition revenues for the same period was primarily attributable to the near completion of the larger St. Bernard Parish projects in Louisiana, and the completion of two major projects in Florida.
