$NECA Thriving Building Materials Company, Expanding via Key Acquisitions, on Track to Top $24 Million in Annual Revenues: Third Bench Holdings (OTC: NECA)

Feb 14, 2022 (AB Digital via COMTEX) --

Third Bench Holdings, LLC, formerly New America Energy Corp. (OTC: NECA) contains five subsidiary companies operating as an architectural millwork and dealers in the cabinetry, kitchen and bath areas. NECA offers products in several categories: Residential Cabinets and countertops and commercial millwork throughout the Western U.S. for customers from California to Texas. NECA also provides installation services as a part of its vertical offering. The company provides its products and services through its architectural millwork and retail facilities, currently located in Albuquerque and Las Cruces, New Mexico and Tucson, Arizona.

NECA employs over 160 people and had revenue in excess of $18.8 million in 2020. NECA is on a run rate of about $24.0 million for 2021 and is cash flow positive. These projections have been provided by management and do not include the additional acquisitions that are currently under review.

Third Bench Makes The FDMC 300 List

On February 10th NECA announced it has been recognized on the Woodworking Network's Furniture, Displays, Millwork & Cabinets "FDMC" list of North America's 300 largest woodworking manufacturers, which represents a $62.4 billion industry. With over $24M in revenues in 2021, Third Bench has grown over the past several years to become one of the largest suppliers of residential and commercial cabinetry in North America.

NECA CEO David Fair states, "We have grown significantly over the past two years, both organically and through acquisitions. Given our historical growth rate and trajectory, our goal is to be in the top 100 within the next 18 to 24 months." David Fair goes on to say, "We are experiencing a historically high demand in the housing sector with most of the metropolitan areas that we service. We are here to provide our customers with quality cabinets and countertops at the highest level of service."

The FDMC 300 is the woodworking industry's oldest recognized ranking of the largest North American producers of furniture, cabinetry, architectural millwork, windows/doors, retail fixtures, home organization and other wood-related products. This year marks their 36th annual report.

Financial Statement Overview

On February 1st NECA issued an announcement regarding the company’s financials which covered the most recent 10K and 10Q statement.

10K Comments:

NECA year-end financials through the Fiscal Year ending August 31, 2021 only include financial performance for the full year for one of the company’s four operations (OGB Architectural Millwork). Three of the companies were acquired during the fiscal year, and as a result only represent financial performance from the time of acquisition.

Below is a representation of the full year of revenue for each of the operations:

10Q Comments:

Davis Kitchens was acquired in October 2021 and therefore it was not included in the NECA September financial performance which accounts for about $354,899 in revenue. Full operational revenue from current operations will be reflected in Q2.
Finance charges are associated with Black Oak ($8,333 monthly) and other bank related charges.
One-time operating expenses
$4.4M Interest Expense

Anticipated Expense Reduction: The 10Q and 10K do not reflect recent expense reductions.

NECA anticipates realizing the full impact of its healthcare premium coverage, PTO and salary reductions will be realized by Q4 22/Q1 23.

NECA anticipates the changes to have the following reduction in annual expenses:

PTO/Holiday Adjustment $250K
Salaries Reduction $500K
Reduction in Healthcare Premium $250K - $500K
Total Expense Reduction $1.0M - $1.25M

NECA will continue to identify additional expense reduction opportunities. In addition, NECA plans to initiate another price increase across all operations to combat increasing labor and material cost as well as increase its operating profit.

January Corporate Update

On January 10th NECA issued a letter to shareholders from CEO David Fair with an overall corporate update. The letter included the following:

Dear Valued Shareholders,

We are now shifting our focus to the pipeline of acquisitions we developed in 2021 and now look to execute in 2022. We believe that with the potential targets and organic growth, NECA can more than double its revenue this year and possibly much more.

Over the last few months, NECA has received recurring questions from several shareholders which I have addressed in the outline below.

NECA plans to up-list to the NASDAQ within the next 24 months.

NECA plans to officially complete its name change to Third Bench Holdings, LLC within the next 30-60 days.

NECA has have completed paperwork to make changes to the OTC Markets profile page and we are waiting for the profile to be updated.

NCEA has completed several initiatives to drastically reduce expenses. Below are some of example of reductions in key annual expenses:

Reduction in excessive management employees reduced labor cost by ~$500,000

Normalization of PTO/Holiday reduces expenses by ~$200,000

Health Insurance adjustments reduced expenses by ~$250,000

NCEA continues to reduce expenses through the centralization of key operations and leveraging the size of our organization as we grow operations. We also maintain a pipeline of targets that would be very synergistic, and we believe we can complete at least two targets in 2022.

Regarding the NECA new authorized share count, it is our intention to raise additional funds to support the acquisition of additional synergistic target and supply working capital for the business, all of which will ultimately increase value for all shareholders. Given the current NECA pipeline of business and acquisition target we believe achieving $50M in revenue in 2022 is a conversative estimate.

Grand Opening of New Showroom for Davis Kitchens of Tucson

On December 13th NECA announced the opening of its new Davis Kitchens showroom in Tucson, Arizona. Davis Kitchens is a long-time regional provider of cabinetry and a sister location to NECA portfolio company Davis Kitchens in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
