MIAMI, Nov. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Safe and Green Development Corporation (NASDAQ:SGD) ("SGD," the "Company," or "Safe and Green Development") today announced financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, highlighted by record quarterly revenue growth, margin expansion, and continued operational momentum across engineered soils, and logistics divisions.

The Company delivered a strong third quarter, achieving record revenue as growth accelerated across its engineered soils, and logistics, divisions. Performance improved across various business lines supported by higher volumes, stronger logistics activity, and continued scaling of soils operations. New equipment delivered to the Company's Florida site subsequent to the end of the quarter is now operational and is expected to drive increased throughput and improved efficiency ahead of the arrival of additional capacity.

A major milestone this quarter was the full purchase of the Company's new Microtec milling system, which is scheduled to arrive in the fourth quarter. The Microtec mill will enable the Company to begin producing and selling high-margin growing media, a key strategic advancement that opens a significant new revenue opportunity and is expected to meaningfully enhance profitability. Expanding into value-added soil products marks one of the most important growth steps in the Company's history.

While certain integration expenses are expected to continue through the fourth quarter, the Company anticipates a streamlined operating structure by early 2026. With new equipment already boosting production and the Microtec mill set to further expand output and product offerings, the Company believes it is well positioned for continued revenue expansion and improved margins entering the new year.

*Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This earnings release includes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, financial measures not derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures are measures of performance not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should be considered in addition to, not in lieu of, GAAP reported measures. Additionally, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. However, management believes that presenting certain non-GAAP financial measures provides additional information to facilitate comparison of the Company's historical operating results and trends in its underlying operating results and provides transparency on how the Company evaluates its business. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company's performance. Management believes that financial information excluding certain items that are not considered to reflect the Company's ongoing operating results, such as impairment, bad-debt expense, and stock-based compensation, improves the comparability of year-to-year results. Consequently, management believes that investors may be able to better understand the Company's operating results excluding these items.
