LMP Automotive Holdings, Inc. Provides a Corporate Update and Announces Delay of its First Quarter 2021 Financial Results Conference Call · GlobeNewswire

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, May 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LMP Automotive Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: LMPX) ("LMP" or the "Company"), an e-commerce and facilities-based automotive retailer in the United States, today provided a corporate update and announced a delay of its first quarter 2021 financial results quarterly conference call for the period ended March 31, 2021.

Delay of its First Quarter 2021 Financial Results

As stated on our Form 12b-25 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 18, 2021, there was a significant change in our results of operations when compared to the results from the corresponding period in the prior year, primarily as a result of previously announced acquisitions that closed during the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The following is a preliminary representation of these changes for the three months ended March 31, 2021:

  • Revenue increased by $27.6 million to $33.0 million when compared the same period a year ago;

  • Overall gross profit increased by approximately $5.5 million to $6.0 million when compared the same period a year ago; and

  • Cash (including restricted cash) increased by approximately $1.4 million to $19.4 million when compared the same period a year ago.

Management's compilation, dissemination and review of information required to be presented in the Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021 has imposed time constraints that have rendered timely filing of the Form 10-Q impracticable without undue hardship and expense. Specifically, this relates primarily to our evaluation and accounting for the acquisitions consummated during March 2021.

The Company is evaluating the accounting impact of these acquisitions and the effects on its controls over financial reporting.

We expect to file such Form 10-Q shortly and will provide a date in advance for our first quarter 2021 financial results quarterly conference call.

Second Quarter 2021 Financial Update

We are witnessing strong percentage increases in April and May gross profits. Based on quarter-to-date results, we expect:

  • Revenue to be approximately $128 million;

  • Overall gross profit to be approximately $23 million (or 18%); and

  • Cash (including restricted cash) and shareholder equity to be our highest on record.

We are pleased with our results and are optimistic about our ability to continue to grow the Company as we move forward. Our pipeline of prospective dealership acquisitions remains active and we believe we are on track to achieve our goal of adding an additional 80 to 100 dealerships to our network by the end of next year."
