Management Commentary

 

The Peck Company Holdings Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey Peck, commented, “2019 was a tremendous year for our business as demonstrated by our strong 77% revenue growth and continued operating profitability. It was also a transformational year for our company, as we became publicly-traded with a NASDAQ listing. Our desire to be public was driven by improved access to capital to grow our business and the potential ability to utilize our stock as a currency for acquisitions. After installing more than 125 MWs of solar energy since 2012, we believe that we are well-positioned for what we believe to be the coming revolution to an all renewable energy economy. We recognize that the coronavirus pandemic has disrupted the global economy and created unpredented uncertainty. While as of yet we have not had any projects or contracts cancelled due to the global pandemic, cancellations are certainly a possibility. Regardles, we do believe some are likely to have their timing pushed out, due to the wide-ranging impact of the pandemic. . Subject to the unknown impacts of the pandemic, we do remain cautiously optimistic for 2020 and beyond, with our multi-pronged growth strategy of (1) organic growth by leveraging existing relationships to expand across the Northeast; (2) accretive M&A of profitable businesses to expand geographic footprint, capabilities, and cash flow; and (3) acquisition of solar arrays to construct and resell at a profit or to hold for recurring revenue. Additionally for 2020, we will be raising our visibility within the investment community by strengthening our relationships and increasing awareness with the goal of ultimately enhancing shareholder value.”

2020 Outlook

 

The sum of Peck’s backlog, projects currently under contract, and anticipated contracts to date are already near $30 million. Peck is not typically bidding competitively for projects, but instead engages with its customers over a long-term basis to develop project designs and to help customers reduce project costs. Historically, Peck has been awarded over 95% of the project it has reviewed for construction. The upfront assistance and coordination with its clients can be considered Peck’s marketing effort, which is a significant advantage for converting a high percentage of our pipeline projects.

 

In addition, Peck is engaging existing customers and new partners outside of Vermont as part of its planned 2020 expansion across the Northeast. Peck has already identified over $20 million of potential opportunities in other states.

 

Financial Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2019

 

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $28.2 million, an increase of $12.3 million, or 77%, compared to $15.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in revenue was primarily due to an increase in the number of projects and MWs completed. Approximately 77% of revenue in the year ended December 31, 2019 was from solar installations, compared to 62% of revenues in the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $4.2 million, an increase of $1.0 million, or 33%, compared to $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The resulting gross margin was 14.8% for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to 19.8% for the year ended December 31, 2018. Gross margins for the year ended December 31, 2019 were lower as a result of acquiring projects directly from our development partners at the notice to proceed phase. This strategy results in an increase in revenue and gross profit but does deteriorate the gross margin. The Company will continue to deploy this strategy to gain control of projects at an earlier stage and increase the predictability of its revenue stream.

 

General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $2.3 million, an increase of $1.1 million, or 89%, compared to $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in general and administration expenses were primarily due to the cost associated with being a public company, as the expenses for accounting, legal and professional services increased significantly in the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018.

Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $1.0 million, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 17%, compared to $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to the cost associated with being a public company, as the expenses for accounting, legal and professional services increased significantly in the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

Depreciation expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $0.6 million, an increase of $0.1 million, or 16%, compared to $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Depreciation expenses increased primarily due to the purchase of additional equipment for the construction of Peck’s solar array assets.

 

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $0.3 million, an increase of $0.2 million, or 132%, compared to $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Interest exepnses increased primarily due to increased utilization of Peck’s line of credit.

 

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $0.4 million, compared to a net income of $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 was primarily due to a $1.1 million provision for income taxes, compared to nil for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

Pro-forma net income, excluding such a provision for income taxes but taking into effect a normalized tax rate, for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $0.5 million, compared to a net income of $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The resulting pro-forma earnings per share (EPS) for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $0.11 per diluted share, compared to $0.33 per diluted share (EPS) for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $1.9 million, an increase of $0.2 million, or 12%, compared to $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

Adjusted EPS for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $0.42, compared to $0.52 for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Certain Non-GAAP Measures

 

We periodically review the following key non-GAAP measures to evaluate our business and trends, measure our performance, prepare financial projections and make strategic decisions.

 

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Earnout Adjusted EBITDA

 

Included in this presentation are discussions and reconciliations of earnings before interest, income tax and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and EBITDA adjusted for certain non-cash, non-recurring or non-core expenses (“Adjusted EBITDA”) to net income in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain non-cash and other expenses, certain legal services costs, professional and consulting fees and expenses, and one-time business combination expenses and certain adjustments. We believe that these non-GAAP measures illustrate the underlying financial and business trends relating to our results of operations and comparability between current and prior periods. We also use these non-GAAP measures to establish and monitor operational goals.

 

 C: 
 
 

 

These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute or superior to, the other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Using only the non-GAAP financial measures, particularly Adjusted EBITDA, to analyze our performance would have material limitations because such calculations are based on a subjective determination regarding the nature and classification of events and circumstances that investors may find significant. We compensate for these limitations by presenting both the GAAP and non-GAAP measures of our operating results. Although other companies may report measures entitled “Adjusted EBITDA” or similar in nature, numerous methods may exist for calculating a company’s Adjusted EBITDA or similar measures. As a result, the methods that we use to calculate Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the methods used by other companies to calculate their non-GAAP measures.
