CEMATRIX Corporation Announces $4.0M CDN in New Contracts; Provides COVID 19 Update
CALGARY, Alberta, Sept. 08, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CEMATRIX Corporation (TSXV: CVX) (the “Corporation” or “CEMATRIX”) a North American leading manufacturer and supplier of technologically advanced cellular concrete products announced that its wholly owned operating subsidiaries, CEMATRIX (Canada) Inc. (“CCI”), MixOnSite USA Inc. (“MOS”) and Pacific International Grout Company (“PIGCO’) have contracted several projects with a total value of $4.0 million CDN. One project is a $2.1 million pipeline bedding project, which is scheduled to commence in January of 2021. The balance represents smaller projects located throughout Canada and the U.S.
Factoring in a $2.5 million CDN reduction in reported total contract balance as a result of a stronger Canadian dollar, total contracted and verbally awarded (mainly contracts in process) projects now sit at $82.1 million CDN. $46.0 million CDN of this $82.2 million CDN total backlog is currently scheduled to be completed in 2021/22.
“While the Corporation has experienced some delays in projects, the Company continues to add to its contracted sales and total backlog (before exchange difference) and continues to see a more robust project pipeline on both sides of the border for the foreseeable future,” stated Jeff Kendrick, CEMATRIX President and CEO. “The Corporate Groups sales pipeline now exceeds $335 million not including government backed projects that have budgeted over one trillion dollars in replacement infrastructure spending.”
“One of our staff members has tested positive for COVID-19. This individual is under quarantine and is recovering at home. The balance of our employees remain safe and healthy, as we continue to service our customers during these unprecedented times. We are pleased to announce that there hasn’t been any further significant project delays since our last corporate update and no projects have been cancelled,” concluded Mr. Kendrick.
