CEO Commentary
"We are pleased with our second quarter results, showing both an improvement to gross margin and net income despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic that we are facing," said Ashley Smith, President and CEO of Smith-Midland. "The significant increase in rental revenue, which carries higher margins than product sales, helped improve gross margin by 600 basis points over the first quarter 2020 and contributed to our bottom-line. This improvement exemplifies the execution of our long-term strategy moving towards barrier rentals as compared to barrier sales.
"The Company was impacted during the second quarter due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Manufacturing experienced manpower challenges as associates were unable to work, therefore reducing production volumes. Currently, there is minimal workforce impact and production has resumed as scheduled. However, there is still significant uncertainty surrounding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic with respect to funding projects, production volumes, and the overall economy. Smith-Midland is closely monitoring the current and potential future impacts of the pandemic on its operations, employees, customers, and supply chain. The Company continues to follow virus-prevention protocols consistent with the recommendations provided by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."
"The increase to our rental fleet at the end of 2019 has proven extremely beneficial for the Company through the first six months of 2020," Mr. Smith continued. "We delivered on the $1.1 million rental contract on I-81, and have also established the largest rental backlog in the Company's history. Despite the current pandemic, we are optimistic for the remainder of the year, and into 2021, with the current backlog, sizeable project bids, and expected awards on various projects in our markets."

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had cash and investments totaling $5.6 million, with accounts receivable of $10.8 million. Total outstanding debt on notes payable increased to $8.0 million at the recent quarter end, with the Company receiving a loan under the Paycheck Protection Plan in the amount of $2.7 million during the second quarter of 2020.
