Rodney Smith, Chairman and CEO stated, “The Company rebounded nicely from a sluggish first quarter to achieve a solid second quarter pre-tax income of $637,924. We believe that the third quarter should be significantly better than the second quarter.

“All of our consolidated operating companies improved from the first quarter to the second quarter on a fairly significant basis across the board. All of our current contracts are on a full profit basis with no discounts given, improving our margins for all product lines manufactured and sold during the period. Management believes this trend will continue into 2017 as our economy continues to improve at a steady pace.

“During the second quarter the Company was successful in closing its purchase agreement for the acquisition of the land and building of the new Columbia precast production facility. Since February, we have leased the facility until the closing date to produce on a $3.5 million contract for barrier which will run through the end of 2016. We will gradually add to the range of products to be produced by the plant, beginning with soundwall, then buildings and then to our most profitable product Slenderwall™. The geographical location for Columbia includes the Atlanta metropolitan area and approximately 10 military bases in South Carolina and Georgia. With the addition of this facility, our geographical sales area now includes the entire eastern coast from New York City to the southern Georgia border, (approximately 800 miles north to south and approximately 300 miles inland from the east coast) which makes Smith-Midland a major east coast precast company.”

Smith-Midland develops, manufactures, licenses, rents, and sells a broad array of precast concrete products for use primarily in the construction, transportation and utilities industries.
