CALGARY, ALBERTA–(Marketwired – Nov. 24, 2016) – CEMATRIX Corporation (TSX VENTURE:CVX) (the “Corporation” or the “Company” or “CEMATRIX“) announces the release of its consolidated financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Third Quarter Highlights
Contracted sales are currently at $16.0 million, of which $5.8 million is now scheduled to be completed in the first half of 2017.
“The third quarter results were below managements’ expectations as contracted sales, for 2016 work, were moved to the fourth quarter or into 2017 and we had to absorb unanticipated additional costs related to a June project” stated Jeff Kendrick, President and CEO of CEMATRIX. “The most significant highlight of the third quarter is that 2016 infrastructure sales will not grow sufficiently in the year to offset the loss of oil and gas construction sales. This is partially because the infrastructure market is just taking longer to develop, but more so because an unusual number of fall projects were delayed to the first part of 2017. The delays were the result of wet weather and onsite contractor construction issues. Furthermore, up until late in the third quarter of 2016, CEMATRIX had expected that certain additional infrastructure projects would be contracted and that our 2016 sales forecast could still be achieved. Unfortunately, this expectation was not realized.”
