Third Quarter 2018 and Subsequent Financial and Operational Highlights by Division
• Environmental Technology Solutions (MV & SEM)
Environmental Solutions Q3 2018 revenue was $0.8 million, an increase of 11.2% when compared to Q3 2017 revenue of $0.7 million. Gross profit decreased from $0.2 million in Q3 2017 to $0.1 million in Q3 2018. The lower gross profit in Q3 2018 was primarily a result of a reduction in media sales during Q3 2018 when compared to Q3 2017.
MV continues to market and grow its high-margin, recurring revenue from media replacement sales to a steadily increasing base of over 50 landfills, anerobic digester systems and WWTPs across North America. These sales are somewhat seasonal and spikey due to weather and changeout requirements
Continued to market rental systems and is receiving orders for systems to be delivers Q1 2019.
• Paragon Waste Solutions - CoronaLux™
Paragon’s joint venture in Paramount, California is in full commercial operation, serving a predominantly pharmaceutical customer base.
Continued to ramp operations of Paragon Southwest Medical Waste, LLC (PSMW), a waste destruction facility in Anahuac, Texas. The waste stream has more than doubled over Q2 and revenue is ramping up accordingly.
Commenced discussions and negotiations with one of the nation’s largest medical waste operators to receive waste at Paragon’s Texas facility and expect to initiate a pilot program before the end of 2018.
Continued to engage with potential Pacific Rim partners as well as additional medical waste partners in Southern California, Texas, Florida (Broward & Orange counties) and North Carolina (Guilford County) to initiate or expand operations. Licensing revenue is expected Q1 2019.
• REGS
Commenced an estimated $0.4M cleaning project for a large steel company in Pueblo, Colorado, consisting of tank cleaning, ultra-high-pressure water cutting and vacuum truck services. The project is expected to generate revenue over the course of Q4.
Activity continues to ramp surrounding the partnership with Biochar Now (BCN), as several water remediation projects completed in Texas demonstrated that the patented BCN product outperformed alternatives in removing excess nitrogen and phosphorus while successfully destroying invasive algae. REGS has been asked to submit a bid to assist in the clean up of a high-profile lake restoration project in Los Angeles County.
REGS and BCN expect to leverage successful projects and expand both the size and scope of similar projects.
The next phase of a large river remediation project in the South East is expected to begin in Q1 2019 and the equipment manufactured by REGS is performing in line with expectations.
REGS continues to work with leading water experts and service companies to expedite the deployment of its technology within both the water treatment market and the mining industry.
Management Commentary
“The third quarter was highlighted by continued operational execution and foundation building across several divisions,” stated John Combs, CEO of SEER. “Several significant events are currently unfolding, and we have scheduled our earnings call at the end of this month to provide additional time for one or more of these events to come to fruition. We are in discussions with several groups to expand or create new markets throughout the United States and in the Pacific Rim region and we continue to be highly optimistic regarding the long-term adoption of our proprietary CoronaLux technology.
“We are pleased to continue to demonstrate the efficacy of Biochar Now’s patented product in several water remediation projects and are receiving additional opportunities to deploy the product both for cleanup and in pellet form for soil amendment in big ag applications. We have formed a new division, Pellechar, LLC, that is dedicated to marketing and implementing sales of proprietary pellets containing the Biochar Now product. Initial production has proven to be better than expected and is being well received by the market. Full commercial operations and production are scheduled for Q1 2019.
“Management acknowledges the lack of revenue growth but believes we have positioned all divisions to create increases in both revenue and income as we carefully consider significant opportunities being presented to the company. We look forward to our call later this month and reporting progress for which we have been working so hard,” concluded Combs.
Third Quarter 2018 Financial Results
Total revenue in the third quarter of 2018 increased 6.5% to $1.7 million, as compared to $1.6 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase in revenue is primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $0.4 million or 93% in industrial cleaning revenue, offset by a decrease of $0.3 million or 79% in solid waste revenue.
Industrial Cleaning revenue in the third quarter of 2018 totaled $0.8 million, as compared to $0.4 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase in industrial cleaning revenue is primarily attributable to a mobile rail car cleaning contract in 2018.
Environmental Solutions revenue in the third quarter of 2018 totaled $0.8 million, as compared to $0.7 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase in environmental solutions revenue is primarily attributable to an increase in long term contracts in Q3 2018.
Solid Waste (PWS) net revenue in the third quarter of 2018 totaled $94,000 as compared to $0.5 million in the same year-ago quarter. The decrease in solid waste revenue in the third quarter of 2018 is primarily attributable to a lack of unit sales.
Gross margin in the third quarter of 2018 increased to 12%, as compared to 10.7% in the same year-ago quarter. The increase in gross margin was primarily attributable to our increased attention to pricing and aggressive cost management.
Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2018 decreased to $2.5 million, as compared to $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2017. The decrease in operating expenses is primarily attributable to a decrease in general and administrative expenses.
Net loss attributable to SEER in the third quarter of 2018 totaled $1.1 million or ($0.02) per diluted share, as compared to a net income of $1.5 million or $0.03 per diluted share in the same year-ago quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA loss in the third quarter of 2018 totaled $0.5 million, as compared to an EBITDA gain of $2.0 million in the same year-ago quarter (see definition and further discussion about the presentation of adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP term, below).
Cash at September 30, 2018, totaled $38,000 compared to $0.1 million at September 30, 2017.
Further details about the company’s results in the third quarter of 2018 are available in its Quarterly Report Form 10-Q, accessible in the investor relations section of the company’s website at www.seer-corp.com.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
The Company believes that the presentation of results excluding certain items in "Modified EBITDA," such as non-cash equity compensation charges, provides meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors, facilitating the evaluation of performance across reporting periods. The Company uses these non-GAAP measures for internal planning and reporting purposes. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or net income per share prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
