CEMATRIX Corporation (TSXV:
CVX) (OTCQB: CTXXF) ("CEMATRIX" or the
"Company") a North American leading manufacturer
and supplier of technologically advanced cellular concrete products
announced the release of its consolidated financial results for the
first quarter ended March 31, 2023.
“In line with our expectations, we saw
improvements in many of our key financial metrics in the first
quarter of 2023. Revenue was up 41% compared to Q1 of last year,
gross margins improved as cement and supply chain issues have
eased, and SG&A expenses declined compared to the prior year,”
stated Jeff Kendrick, President and CEO of CEMATRIX. “I want
to thank all of our employees at CEMATRIX, particularly our field
staff, for staying safe and delivering a quality product to our
customers as well as our sales teams who have been instrumental in
driving such strong growth. Our employees continue to make our
success possible through hard work and dedication and we will look
to them again this year as we continue to grow the CEMATRIX
brand.”
“We remain focused on becoming a growing,
cashflow positive company through strong organic growth, coupled
with a strong and de-levered balance sheet, and a simple capital
structure. We are aligned with shareholders and determined to grow
shareholder value. We continue to believe the Company is on track
to have a great year in 2023. I remain incredibly optimistic about
this year and the future,” said Jeff Kendrick.
The following are the business and financial
highlights for the first quarter:

the Quarter:

Subsequent Events:

the outstanding April 2020 convertible debentures, on the maturity

simplify our capital structure.

amended its credit facility to waive the quarterly Debt to EBTIDA
covenant for Q1 2023 to Q3 2023 and to reduce the maximum borrowing
