DTG Dynamic Technologies Group Inc

Dynamic Technologies Group Inc. (TSXV: DTG, OTC:ERILF) ( the “Company” and “our”) today reported its unaudited consolidated financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The consolidated financial statements and MD&A have been filed on SEDAR and can be viewed at www.sedar.com or at www.dynamictechgroup.com.

“Refinancing our senior debt on August 5, 2022, was a critical first step in our planned pivot to the design, build, own and operate business model for putting our world class attractions in tourist based locations,” said Guy Nelson, Dynamic’s Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We have a new senior lender who is also a strategic equity owner and is committed to supporting this transition. The second financing step continues to advance albeit at a slower pace than planned. It is unfortunate that our overall financing plan could not be closed in time to positively impact the second quarter results, but we remain bullish about our strategy in the long term because of the several high-value co-venture opportunities in our pipeline that have significant recurring earnings potential for Dynamic. During the transition, diversified revenue sources and reduced operating costs are the near term tactical focus of the company, as is closing the second step of our overall financing plan.”

Summary of second quarter consolidated results

• Revenues decreased to $5.3 million in second quarter 2022, down 40% from second quarter 2021.
• EBITDA loss of $2.3 million in second quarter 2022 compared to an EBITDA loss of $2.0 million in second quarter 2021. The change was driven largely by reduced revenues.
• Net loss in second quarter 2022 of $5.0 million versus a Net loss of $5.4 million in second quarter 2021.
• Cash used in operating activities was $2.8 million in Q2 2022 compared to $0.9 million in Q2 2021.
• Cash on hand at June 30, 2022 was $3.5 million as compared to $1.3 million at December 31, 2021.
• Contract Backlog was $94.0 million as of June 30, 2022, up slightly from March 31, 2021. Currently 66% of the backlog (4 contracts) are on hold because of client and/or pandemic caused delays.

1 Earnings (loss) before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is not defined by IFRS. The definition of EBITDA does not take into account the Company’s share of profit of an associate investment, gains and losses on the disposal of assets, fair value changes in foreign currency forward contracts and non-cash components of stock based compensation. While not IFRS measures, EBITDA is used by management, creditors, analysts, investors and other financial stakeholders to assess the Company’s performance and management from a financial and operational perspective. Readers are cautioned that EBITDA should not be considered to be more meaningful than loss before tax determined in accordance with IFRS.

The Company continues to execute its four-pronged operational plan:

• continue to advance the Company’s development plans for the co-venture business (Dynamic Entertainment);
• continue to aggressively market its parts and service division to its customers as they started the process of reactivating their theme and amusement parks (Dynamic Attractions);
• continue to market our innovative and very talented engineering capability to diversify the Company’s revenue sources beyond the attractions industry and to continue to use its engineer’s knowhow to develop new media-based attraction ride systems for the meta-verse and large theme parks and miniaturize its product line for the smaller parks and tourist locations (Dynamic Structures);
• the restructuring of the Ride Division (Dynamic Attractions) is largely complete, with the ability to scale back up once market demand improves, although we do not expect this to occur until 2023 and after.

Update on Financing

Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, the Company completed another step in its financing plan by closing on a USD $16.0 million senior debt financing with Promising Expert Limited (“PEL”), a strategic investor from Hong Kong. The Company currently owes PEL USD $11.3 million under the term facility. In addition, the Company will have access to USD $4.7 million in revolving and subordinated loan facilities, subject to PEL’s ability to transfer funds to Canada. On August 23, 2022, a further USD $1.0 million was advanced under these facilities.

The goals of our financing initiative have not changed, which are to improve our working capital in the ride manufacturing division and provide equity and project debt for our co-venture division. We expect the financing initiative will reduce overall interest expense making it much more manageable going forward and change our working capital position from negative to positive in 2022. Our strategic investor’s interest is being driven by the Company’s proprietary IP, ownership of 50% of SkyFly, backlog of co-venture prospects, technical and creative knowhow, proven reputation of creating and delivering innovative, iconic ride systems and the Company’s substantial tax losses to shelter future profits.

Update on Co-ventures

The Company’s first co-venture, Sky Fly™ - Soar America, is now in its second year of operations and continues to enjoy very good reviews and excellent attendance at the gateway to the Smoky Mountains, one of the most popular tourist destinations in America. The attraction itself was awarded the Best New Attraction for 2021 by USA Today’s Readers’ Choice Awards. Replicating SkyFly’s success is the plan for Dynamic Entertainment, our co-venture business unit.

The Company’s pipeline of co-venture prospects is geographically broad and is progressing. Our co-venture offices in Toronto and Orlando have been able to cover North America, UK, and Australia effectively and our office in Shanghai has allowed us to continue to develop our prospects in Asia. We have three senior executives in Asia, and this is helping to continue to advance our prospects in this area.

Update on Ride Business

The Company has continued to focus on reducing and aligning our cost structure in our ride division with the delayed projects in our contract backlog and the slower approach to awarding new ride contracts. The Company has continued to reduce its cost structure significantly throughout 2021 and into the first half of 2022 in response to the reduced backlog and the lower level of sales that are expected because of the almost two years of theme park ride capital expenditure planning time that was lost because of the pandemic.

We have continued to focus on growing of our Ride division’s parts and service group and it continues to get stronger and contribute more to the Company’s bottom line
