Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 24, 2022) - SusGlobal Energy Corp. (OTCQB: SNRG) ("SusGlobal") or (the "Company"), the developer of SusGro™, a revolutionary pathogen-free organic liquid fertilizer and LEADERS IN THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY®, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022 and provided an update on its operational progress.
Recent Highlights
- On November 3, 2021, the Company announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary SusGlobal Energy Belleville Ltd. ("SusGlobal Belleville") signed an Offset Development and Marketing Agreement with Blue Source Canada ULC ("Bluesource") to develop and market greenhouse gas offset credits from the Company's 49-acre Organic & Non-Hazardous Waste Processing & Composting Facility in Belleville, Ontario, in order for the Company to monetize and realize benefits from its voluntary activities. This monetization is an exciting development for the Company's mission to reduce organic wastes from wood, leaf and yard material, treated municipal sewage waste (biosolids), residential curbside green bin material or source separated organics ("SSO") and paper sludge otherwise destined for landfills, allowing the Company to expand this mission. Bluesource has pioneered creative solutions to climate change for over 20 years. The Company expects to monetize in Q2, 2022.
- On January 5, 2022, the Company announced that SusGlobal Belleville has received Licence # 2984, at Pt. Lot 20, Conc. 8, Geographic Township of Thurlow, City of Belleville, Hastings County, approved by The Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry ("NDMNRF") to operate a pit above water under Section 18(3)1 of the Aggregate Resources Act ("ARA") for a 2.66 hectare site with a tonnage condition authorizing removal of 20,000 tonnes of aggregate annually from the site.
- On March 14, 2022, the Company announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, SusGlobal Energy Canada Corp. ("SusGlobal Canada"), entered into a non-binding letter of intent to acquire a soil media, plant nutrients, and amendments producer approved for organic use and specifically formulated for producing high-quality fruit and flowering crops (the "Target") for an aggregate purchase price of US$15,584,000 (CA$20,000,000) (the "Acquisition"). As a condition of the Acquisition, SusGlobal Canada will make a US$3,896,000 (CA$5,000,000) working capital investment into the Target and provided a US$157,018 (CA$200,000) deposit (the "Deposit") on March 8, 2022. SusGlobal Canada has prepared definitive transaction documents including a Share Purchase Agreement (the "SPA") for all of the shares of Target. If the closing of the Acquisition does not occur by an agreed upon date in June 2022, the Deposit shall be refunded to SusGlobal Canada.
- On March 21, 2022, the Company received Building Permit No. 21 158028 00 I3 from the City of Hamilton Building Division and on March 29th the Company announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, SusGlobal Energy Hamilton Ltd., commenced the development of its 51,535 square foot facility on 3.26 acres located at 520 Nash Road North, in Hamilton, Ontario, which includes an Environmental Compliance Approval ("ECA") to process up to 65,884 metric tonnes per annum of organic waste into regenerative products as part of the Company's circular economy model and continued climate change initiatives. Completion of the second facility is on track and slated for Q3, 2022. This facility is expected to generate, starting in 2023, an annual revenue run rate of US$105,192,000 (CA$135,000,000), based on 12,000 Metric Tonnes of organic waste processing or 18.5% of the ECA capacity in the first 12 months of processing.
Revenue decreased by 25.01% during the first quarter of 2022 to $144,470 compared to the first quarter of 2021 in the amount of $192,660, from decreased business from the Company's organic waste processing and composting facility.
"We continue to process municipal organic waste streams, diverting them from landfills, while producing regenerative products as part of our Circular Economy model. We have confidence in a revenue ramp up this year," said Marc Hazout, Executive Chairman, President and CEO of SusGlobal Energy Corp. "Our goal is to complete the acquisition strategy and have our second facility commence the commercialization of our proprietary organic liquid fertilizer in order to increase revenue and cash flow, maximizing shareholder value with an objective to up-list to a major exchange."
