Trading Update

 

MYCELX Technologies Corporation ("MYCELX" or the "Company"), the clean water technology company providing patented solutions for the Oil and Gas market and commercial industrial markets worldwide, provides a trading update ahead of announcing its final audited results for the year to 31 December 2019 in May 2020.

 

As per the announcement on 4 November 2019, events in the Middle East and slower than expected bidding activity in the Rapid Response deployment market in H2 2019, meant that guidance for the year was adjusted to ca. $12.5 million. MYCELX can confirm that it achieved revenue of $11.9 million in 2019, with EBITDA and a net loss of negative $1.2 million and negative $3.0 million, respectively, in line with the Company's previous guidance. The unrestricted cash balance at 31 December 2019 is $3.6 million.  

 

Following a continued push into the Middle East and Nigeria, MYCELX is pleased to announce that three new purchase orders have been signed so far during 2020, marking a strong first quarter performance. These include 6 month and 12 month lease agreements in the Middle East, with a combined value of ca. $2.4 million. The Company also signed an equipment sale, valued at $721,000, in Nigeria. Due to a delay in project timing, a Nigerian equipment sale, which was announced to the market in September 2019 and due to be completed by YE 2019, will now be recognized in 2020. This contract will generate income of $582,000.

 

In line with 2019, the Company has chosen to take a prudent and conservative view of its forecast guidance for 2020 and expects to achieve financial revenues that are no less than 2019.

 

Commenting on the market update, Connie Mixon, CEO, said:

 

"We are pleased with the strong start to the year we have made. Whilst we encountered a very challenging year in our core market in 2019, the three contracts we have won in Q1 2020 indicate better momentum and underpin our revenue guidance for the year. We also remain upbeat about our industry leading position and our ability to respond to opportunities in our core market. We are well-positioned to capture business as we continue to expand our footprint in other markets, such as the commercial and industrial sector, which we expect will lead to new contract wins during the year."
