Rick Coleman, Chief Executive Officer, noted, “In the fourth quarter of 2023, Construction revenue and gross profit declined versus the fourth quarter of 2022. However, for the full year 2023, we significantly improved Construction gross margins from 21.6% to 26.0% due to strong pricing discipline and an improved business mix. Credit tightening in the second half of 2023 caused delays in some commercial projects pushing revenue into 2024. However, single-family residential activity and our overall backlog and sales pipeline remained robust due to our focus on select niche markets where we’ve built significant expertise and a strong reputation.”

Mr. Coleman continued, “In addition, we closed the accretive Big Lake Lumber bolt-on acquisition in the fourth quarter and have integrated it into our Glenbrook operation. During the coming quarters we will continue to evaluate Construction division acquisition opportunities to augment our organic growth strategy, and will also explore potential acquisitions in new industries, and opportunities in our Investments division.”

*Revenues*

The Company’s Q4 2023 revenues decreased 19.8% to $14.1 million from $17.6 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year due primarily to Construction division project delays.

Total Revenues   $ 14,111     $ 17,605     (19.8 )%   $ 45,785     $ 57,149     (19.9 )%Construction Q4 2023 and FY 2023 revenues decreased 19.8% and 19.9%, respectively, versus the prior year periods. The decrease in revenues reflects lower revenues at KBS and EBGL related to slower business activity due to economic headwinds such as higher interest rates. We believe these economic effects are temporary and our backlog and sales pipeline remain strong.

*Gross Profit*

The Company’s consolidated Q4 2023 gross profit decreased 47.0% to $2.9 million from $5.4 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year due to lower revenues in the Construction division.

FY 2023 Construction gross profit decreased 4.0% from the prior year period also due to lower revenue. However, we have significantly increased prices to offset higher input costs and have seen an improvement in our gross margin percentage in 2023. Our backlog and sales pipeline remain strong despite economic headwinds.

*Operating Expenses*

Q4 2023 sales, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased $1.0 million versus Q4 2022. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased in Q4 2023 to 22.8% versus 23.9% in Q4 2022. FY 2023 SG&A expenses increased $0.3 million or 2.4%, versus the prior year, primarily due to increased legal and outside services expenses related to the sale of Digirad Health, the acquisition of Big Lake Lumber, and our Investments division-related activities. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue increased in FY 2023 to 31.8% versus 24.8% in FY 2022 as operating expenses were higher on a lower revenue base.

*Net Income/Loss*

Q4 2023 net income from continuing operations was $1.8 million, or $0.11 income per basic and diluted share, compared to net income from continuing operations of $0.9 million, or $0.06 income per basic and diluted share, in the same period of the prior year. Q4 2023 non-GAAP adjusted net loss from continuing operations was $0.4 million, or $0.02 loss per basic and diluted share, compared to adjusted non-GAAP net income from continuing operations of $0.5 million, or $0.03 income per basic and diluted share, in the same period of the prior year.

FY 2023 net loss from continuing operations was $1.9 million, or $0.12 loss per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $5.8 million, or $0.40 loss per basic and diluted share in FY 2022. FY 2023 non-GAAP adjusted net loss from continuing operations was $1.5 million, or $0.10 loss per basic and diluted share, compared to an adjusted non-GAAP net loss from continuing operations of $2.5 million, or $0.17 loss per basic and diluted share in the prior year.

*Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA*

Q4 2023 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA decreased to a loss of $0.1 million from a gain of $0.9 million in the same quarter of the prior year due to decreased gross profit at our Construction division. FY 2023 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA decreased to a loss of $0.2 million, compared to a loss of $0.1 million in FY 2022, primarily due to decreased gross profit at our Construction division resulting from slower business activity, which we believe is temporary.

*Operating Cash Flow*

Q4 2023 cash flow from consolidated operations was an inflow of $0.0 million, compared to an outflow of $3.6 million for the same period in the prior year. FY 2023 cash flow from operations was an inflow of $2.7 million, compared to an outflow of $3.9 million for FY 2022. The improvement in cash flow from operating activities is attributable to strong collections at our Construction division and lower cash expenditure for working capital.

*Preferred Stock*

In each quarter of 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors declared and paid a cash dividend of $0.25 per share to holders of the Company’s 10% Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, representing $1.00 per share on an annual basis.

*Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures by Star Equity Holdings, Inc.*

This release presents the non-GAAP financial measures “adjusted net income (loss),” “adjusted net income (loss) per basic and diluted share,” and “adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations.” The most directly comparable measures for these non-GAAP financial measures are “net income (loss),” “net income (loss) per basic and diluted share,” and “cash flows from operating activities.” The Company has included below unaudited adjusted financial information, which presents the Company’s results of operations after excluding acquired intangible asset amortization, unrealized gain (loss) on equity securities and lumber derivatives, litigation costs, transaction costs, financing costs, and income tax adjustments. Further excluded in the measure of adjusted EBITDA are stock-based compensation, interest, depreciation, and amortization.

A discussion of the reasons why management believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is included as Exhibit 99.2 to the Company’s report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 22, 2024.
