Surna Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2016 Financial Results

 

Shipped Surna Reflectors

 

Increased quarterly revenue 13% and improved operating loss 43% compared to Q2 2015

 

BOULDER, CO – Aug. 15, 2016 – Surna Inc. (OTCQB: SRNA), a technology company that engineers state-of-the art equipment for controlled environment agriculture (CEA) with special expertise in cannabis cultivation, reported its results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

 

CEO Trent Doucet said, “Focused on execution and prioritizing customer service, innovation and energy efficient solutions, we are building the foundation for long-term growth and shareholder value. Since becoming CEO, I have expanded our sales model to include regional representatives who are experts in their respective state regulations. While we believe quarterly sales will continue to fluctuate due primarily to the timing of certain legislation, we believe this expanded model will improve our position to foster relationships with qualified cultivators.

 

“We believe our innovation continues to generate differentiated, energy-optimized products and turnkey cultivation solutions. We are excited to have secured new customers and repeat business. We also began shipping the Surna Reflector with our patented “light on target” technology that can reduce energy costs and increase yield. Our plan is to introduce additional climate control line extensions that appeal to various cultivation preferences. We are also receiving positive feedback on our proprietary hybrid building pilot, which we intend to formally launch this November by unveiling the scale model to the public.

 

“Further, we expect to leverage our technology investments as the advantages we offer also benefit indoor food production. Therefore, we expect to evaluate additional distribution channels and opportunities to support the burgeoning vertical farming market.”

  Revenue grew 13% to $1.9 million, compared to $1.7 million, reflecting sales momentum and greater demand as more states legalized cannabis.
     
  Cost of revenue, including a $455,000 warranty charge related to a bad installation that impacted Surna equipment, was $1.6 million, compared to $1.3 million. As a result, gross margin was 16.6%, compared to 20.9%.
     
  Operating expenses decreased to $614,000, compared to $1.0 million.

  Selling, general and administrative expenses were reduced to $491,000, compared to $821,000, primarily due to reduced personnel costs and the company’s focus on cost containment.

Forward Looking Statements

 

This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding the Company’s future business expectations, which are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are only predictions and may differ materially from actual results due to a variety of factors including Surna’s ability to monetize service components, Surna’s support of premium prices for existing products, commercialization of research and development efforts and continued expansion of legal cannabis markets. Other risks and uncertainties include, among others, risks related to new products, services, and technologies, government regulation and taxation, and fraud. In addition, the current global economic climate amplifies many of these risks. More information about factors that potentially could affect Surna’s financial results is included in Surna’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent filings. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company disclaims any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

 

Statement About Cannabis Markets

 

The use, possession, cultivation, and distribution of cannabis is prohibited by federal law. This includes medical and recreational cannabis. Although certain states have legalized medical and recreational cannabis, companies and individuals involved in the sector are still at risk of being prosecuted by federal authorities. Further, the landscape in the cannabis industry changes rapidly. What was the law last week is not the law today and what is the law today may not be the law next week. This means that at any time the city, county, or state where cannabis is permitted can change the current laws and/or the federal government can supersede those laws and take prosecutorial action. Given the uncertain legal nature of the cannabis industry, it is imperative that investors understand that the cannabis industry is a high-risk investment. A change in the current laws or enforcement policy can negatively affect the status and operation of our business, require additional fees, stricter operational guidelines and unanticipated shut-downs.
