BioLargo 2020 Annual Report Highlights Expanding Commercial Traction for its Cleantech Technologies, Record Revenue Growth and Improved Balance Sheet







Westminster, CA – March 31, 2021 – BioLargo, Inc. (OTCQB:BLGO), a developer of sustainable cleantech technologies and full-service environmental engineering company, filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC today for the year ended December 31, 2020 (www.biolargo.com/sec-filings). The company has provided highlights from the Annual Report along with commentary on the recent advancements in its mission to “make life better” through its innovative cleantech products and services. The company also announced an investor webcast to be held on Wednesday March 31, 2021, at 2:00 pm Pacific / 5:00 pm Eastern, at the following link, open to the public: https://www.webcaster4.com/Webcast/Page/2448/40636.

BioLargo CEO Dennis Calvert commented, “In the last year, we developed and refined new technologies that are now ready for commercial trials, formalized strategic relationships to expand sales and revenues, arranged for demonstration pilot projects for our AOS water treatment system, increased revenues, including those of our flagship product, CupriDyne Clean. We also began the process to register our CupriDyne technology with the EPA to make advanced sanitization and disinfection claims. All the while, we and the world struggled through the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.”

He continued, “We believe our future revenue growth will be driven by the portfolio of leading cleantech technologies we’ve developed and increasing sales activities through our expanding network of strategic partners. One such example is the impending commercial of launch of our PFAS water treatment solution, the AEC, which is set to begin its first demonstration pilots and commercial trials soon. These are great times for BioLargo, as our products and technologies are well positioned to find adoption with customers and partners and become leading solutions in their category.”

Key financial highlights:

  • Consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $2,432,000, which is a 31% increase over the same period in 2019. In the quarter ended December 31, 2020, BioLargo generated approximately $900,000 in company-wide revenue, a 36% increase compared to the prior quarter.
  • In 2020 the company retired over $3 million in debt, from $4.8 million down to $1.7 million. In March 2021, the company retired an additional $650,000 in debt. Other than debt owed by its partially owned subsidiary Clyra Medical, only SBA/PPP loans and fixed-price convertible debt now remain on BioLargo’s balance sheet. Of the fixed price convertible debt, $100,000 will convert to equity automatically at the April 20, 2021 maturity date, the $406,000 due in August 2021 may be converted by the investors at a fixed price of $0.14 at any time, and $50,000 is due in two years.
  • In 2020, non-cash charges to earnings were $5.48 million which make up the 56% of the company’s total net loss. As the company continues to reduce its reliance on expensive debt instruments to finance operating costs, and as revenues increase, it expects its net loss and reliance on debt-based financing to decrease going forward.
  • BioLargo Engineering recorded total sales of $615,000 with third-party customers, and an additional $435,000 of intersegment revenue that is eliminated in consolidation. Intersegment revenues are primarily composed of billings to other BioLargo subsidiaries for work related to research and development expenses and commercialization of our AOS and AEC water treatment technologies.
  • ONM Environmental generated $1.5 million in revenue in 2020, and had a net loss of $483,000, as it continued expanding sales and operations capacity as the company grew sales of its air quality control products and services.
  • BioLargo owns a minority interest of approximately 45% in its subsidiary Clyra Medical, which develops and markets medical products based on BioLargo’s technologies through a license agreement calling for 6% royalty payments.  Clyra reported a net loss of $2.14 million for 2020, representing 22% of BioLargo’s total net loss for 2020, as its financial results are currently reported on a consolidated basis. BioLargo is not obligated to provide working capital to Clyra or pay its debts.

Key commercial, operational, and developmental highlights:

  • The BioLargo Aqueous Electrostatic Concentrator (AEC), our technology that removes toxic ‘forever chemicals’ (PFAS) that are commonly found in drinking water, ground water and industrial wastewater, is now in the final stages of development prior to commercial sales. The technology has been validated by third-party studies, and the first pilot units are being constructed for field testing and demonstration at participating pilot sites. The market for PFAS water treatment is expected to explode in the coming years because of tightening regulations on these. The company believes the AEC will represent the low cost, high impact option to help solve this crisis around the world.
  • The first commercial-scale Advanced Oxidation System (AOS) unit, BioLargo’s energy- and cost-efficient water treatment technology that removes hard-to-treat micropollutants, was deployed at a municipal wastewater treatment plant near Montréal, Québec as part of a demonstration pilot run by the renowned Centre des Technologies de l’Eau (CTE). The company is also on track for commencement of the AOS zero liquid discharge system project at poultry farm in Alberta, Canada, estimated to generate a half million dollars in revenue.
  • BioLargo established a partnership with Garratt-Callahan, a national industrial water treatment company, to develop and sell custom wastewater treatment equipment to recycle water from commercial facilities and is also working with them to expand sales of other BioLargo products.
  • ONM Environmental began servicing two very large municipal waste handling clients recently with its CupriDyne Clean odor and VOC control products and accompanying construction services.
  • Developed relationships with strategic partners, BKT South Korea, and Garratt-Callahan.
  • ONM Environmental expanded the portfolio of air quality control equipment and technologies it offers its customers to include modular, portable misting trailers as well as the trash truck and trash bin odor control system EcoMist®.
  • BioLargo Engineering continues to win major contracts with industrial clients, building a backlog of pending projects totaling more than $2 million over approximately the next 12-18 months. The group remains busy supporting BioLargo’s emerging commercial activities for the AEC and AOS water treatment systems.
  • BioLargo management is actively engaged with the EPA to expand its regulated claims for a series of products, including Clyraguard.

Mr. Calvert commented, “We continue to expand our intellectual property portfolio and are proud of our accomplishments. However, we also believe we have only scratched the surface of our revenue and profit potential and that our future is very bright. We’ve done the hard work, and now it’s time execute on the promise of our technologies and grow this company.”

BioLargo, Inc. Discusses Commercial PFAS Treatment Trials and Garratt-Callahan Partnership with The Stock Day Podcast

 

Phoenix, AZ -- March 09, 2021 -- The Stock Day Podcast welcomed BioLargo, Inc. (OTCQB:BLGO), a company that invents, develops, and commercializes innovative platform technologies to solve challenging environmental problems like PFAS contamination, advanced water and wastewater treatment, air quality control, and infection control. President and CEO of BioLargo, Dennis P. Calvert, joined Stock Day host Everett Jolly.  

Jolly began the interview by asking about BioLargo's current projects. "This is a company that's done the work to prove out technical innovations," said Calvert. "We focus on clean air, clean water, and a clean Earth, so we're an environmental engineering group, and we have incredible innovations that are finding their way to market," he continued. "We're really a sustainable solutions provider." 

"Please give my listeners an update on your PFAS solution. Does it really work, how big is it, and what is the opportunity going forward?", asked Jolly. "The Biden Administration has really made this a priority," explained Calvert, adding that PFAS can be found in our water, bodies, and products. "It has been linked to adverse health effects." 

"We started on PFAS about a year and a half to two years ago, and we are now building our first commercial units. We have four commercial trials, two are confirmed and two are in the works," shared Calvert. "This is big business." 

Jolly then asked about the company's balance sheet improvements over the past two to three quarters, specifically related to the reduction of debt obligations. "We have this depth of talent that would rival the largest companies in the world," said Calvert. "We took some risks, we brought in a lot of money, we had some debt, it was expensive," he continued. "Now that's coming to an end," said Calvert. "A very small number will come due in August, it's convertible," he explained. "All in, it was about $5 million, and we're down to about $400,000 [in corporate debt obligations]," Calvert added. "The future is so bright, the commercial opportunities are so expansive, and the innovations are the real deal." 

The conversation then turned to the Company's Garratt-Callahan partnership. "First of all, this is just a wonderful company. They're a hundred plus years old, they are a national player, and they have a huge sales force," said Calvert. Added Calvert, "Since the inception, we thought [the relationship] would expand beyond the initial focus and it has. We're already working on some projects with some of their clients, and that is the start of something that could be really great." 

"Why should investors take a look at BioLargo?", asked Jolly. Calvert responded, "The things we are doing are massive, and the technology is proven. Now we get to enjoy the adoption cycle.  This is a company that is highly committed to investing in the business, deferring [management] compensation, and making sure that this company has the right people and the tools to go out and do something extraordinarily special. Everything we are doing we believe is number one in its category."

BioLargo Invited to Present at Isle Utilities Industrial Water Treatment Virtual Event

Westminster, CA – March 3, 2021 – BioLargo, Inc. (OTCQB:BLGO), a developer of sustainable technologies and a full-service environmental engineering company, today announced that it has been invited to present its AOS (Advanced Oxidation System) water treatment technology to decision-makers from diverse multinational companies at an Isle Utilities iTAG event.

At Isle Utilities’ iTAG (Industrial Technology Approval Group) events, which are held three times per year, water specialists, sustainability/innovation managers and other experts from global industries vote on promising water technologies they would like to learn about. Some iTAG member companies include Coca-Cola, Shell, and Proctor & Gamble.

In the March 2021 meeting, iTAG member companies voted to learn about BioLargo’s AOS technology. BioLargo Director of Strategic Marketing and Business Development Tonya Chandler will present the BioLargo AOS to iTAG member companies on March 4, 2021.

To learn more about the TAG program, watch Isle Utilities’ video:

BioLargo’s ground-breaking and patented Advanced Oxidation System (AOS) is a water treatment platform that provides high-level disinfection and consumes less electricity than competing technologies. Distinct from other disinfection-focused treatment systems, the AOS can also remove certain pharmaceutical micropollutants from water to provide added value across diverse water treatment applications.

The timing of BioLargo’s invitation to present at iTAG is auspicious, as the company is beginning to roll out the AOS through commercial trials, beginning with its first farm-wide water treatment and reuse project at a poultry farm in Alberta, Canada.

To learn more about the BioLargo AOS, visit www.biolargowater.com.

 

About Isle Utilities and iTAG

Isle is a medium sized, worldwide operating consultancy that has bridged exactly that gap successfully over the past decade for more than 150 global utilities. With 40 highly educated water professionals located all over the globe, Isle scouts, assesses and selects new water related technologies for the municipal water and wastewater utilities. In 2016, Isle has started to offer this service to industries with water and sustainability challenges too.  Each industrial company has sustainability objectives but it is typical that not all companies have the time to visit all the global trade shows, read every journal on the subject and invite all salesmen to site with that unique innovative solution to save water, energy and chemicals. At the same time, business developers of new innovative technologies have a hard time to draw the attention of these always extremely occupied industries. It was a catch 22 situation, until Isle set up iTAG.

Three times a year at iTAG-meetings (industrial Technology Approval Group) water specialists, sustainability/innovation managers and other experts from global industries gather. Some weeks prior to this meeting the members receive a list of the newest technological water related solutions which have been thoroughly vetted and compactly described by Isle’s experts. The members are invited to vote on the most promising technologies, which will be presented on the iTAG meeting. Over the last 10 years Isle has evaluated over 100 new technologies each year, varying from well protection technologies, treatment technologies, innovative sensors to cooling water technologies, wastewater solutions and novel ways to recover nutrients, sludge and energy.

Of the SBA loans, management expects all but the $150,000 EIDL 30-year 3.75% APR loan to be forgiven. Of the fixed price convertible debt, $100,000 will convert to equity automatically at the April 20, 2021 maturity date, the $406,000 due in August 2021 may be converted by the investors at a fixed price of $0.14 at any time, and $50,000 is due in two years.

These actions are directly in line with the company’s goals to aggressively reduce or eliminate its convertible debt instruments in favor of equity-based transactions and eliminate costly interest expense. 

BioLargo President and CEO Dennis P. Calvert commented, “Our cash position is particularly strong, and we are confident in the progress of our business operations and expanding opportunities. Paying off this debt now helps reduce expense interest expense, as well as eliminate uncertainty of how the debt would be managed as it matures and comes due.”

Commercial milestones continue to grow at BioLargo with a few notable highlights:

·         An AOS water treatment unit was recently delivered to a municipal wastewater operation in Quebec Canada for pilot testing, and the company is on track for commencement of the AOS zero liquid discharge system project at poultry farm in Alberta, Canada, estimated to generate a half million dollars in revenue.

·         BioLargo’s engineering subsidiary continues to win major contracts with industrial clients, building a backlog of pending projects totaling more than $2 million over approximately the next 12 months. The group remains busy supporting BioLargo’s emerging commercial activities for the AEC and AOS water treatment systems.

·         BioLargo is exploring ways to expand its work with national water services company Garratt-Callahan beyond the development of a proprietary water treatment system.

·         Management is actively engaged with the EPA to expand its regulated claims for a series of products, including Clyraguard.

·         Expanded CupriDyne Clean misting system installations to municipal-owned solid-waste handling operations.

·         Readying for trials of the PFAS treatment solution (the BioLargo AEC) with multiple potential clients.

Dennis P. Calvert, BioLargo’s President & CEO commented, “We have solidified our reputation as a reliable innovator and solutions provider for sustainable high-value targets like clean water, clean air and a cleaner planet. We believe that our future revenue growth will accelerate dramatically through partnerships for large-scale manufacturing, distribution, and through marketing alliances. We have a strong foundation of technology, highly qualified team members and a driving purpose on which to build. As we have done for the last decade, innovations continue at BioLargo, and I’m personally very excited about some upcoming developments. We are proud of our record-breaking achievements but are certainly not satisfied as we believe we have only scratched the surface of our future revenue and profit potential.”
