Dynamic Technologies Group Inc. (TSXV: DTG, OTC:ERILF) ( the
“
Company” and “
our”) today
reported its unaudited consolidated financial results for the
quarter ended September 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
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 now have a new senior lender who is
also a strategic equity owner and is committed to supporting this
transition. Our overall financing plan continues to advance and we
expect to close the next step in the financing plan by year-end.
During the transition, diversifying revenue sources and reducing
operating costs are the near-term tactical focus of the company, as
is closing the next step of our financing plan.”

1 Earnings (loss) before interest, tax, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA) is not defined by IFRS. The definition of
EBITDA does not take into account gains and losses on the disposal
of assets, non-controlling interest share of net income (loss),
derecognition of financial liabilities 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).
- Continue the restructuring of the Ride
Division (Dynamic Attractions) until we have ensured our
manufacturing costs for our innovative product line is globally
competitive.
Update on Financing
During the quarter, the Company completed an important step in
its financing plan by successfully closing on a USD $16.0 million
senior debt financing with Promising Expert Limited (“PEL”), a
strategic investor from Hong Kong. The Company drew USD $11.3
million at closing and has subsequently drawn the remainder of the
facility.
The goals of our overall financing plan 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. The company has made good progress on its overall
financing plan. We have identified a strategic investor whose
interest is being driven by the company’s proprietary IP, ownership
of 50% of SkyFly: Soar America, our pipeline 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. We
expect to close the next step of our financing plan successfully by
year end.
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 are
geographically broad and are 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, in spite of the
challenging zero-Covid policy there.
Update on Ride Business
We continue to focus on growing our Ride division’s parts and
service group and it continues to get stronger and contribute more
to the Company’s bottom line. 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 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.
