Smith-Midland Corporation's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, highlights several key financial metrics and strategic updates. Total revenue increased by 19% to $59.6 million, driven by significant growth in product sales, particularly SlenderWall, soundwall, and miscellaneous wall sales. Net income was relatively flat at $795,000 compared to $800,000 in 2022. Operating income improved by 31% to $1.1 million, despite a slight increase in operating expenses due to higher selling and administrative costs. The company's backlog grew to $60.8 million, indicating strong future demand. Key risk factors include potential economic downturns, inflationary pressures on raw materials and labor, and cybersecurity threats. The company remains focused on expanding its barrier rental business and leveraging opportunities from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The balance sheet showed an increase in cash to $9.2 million, supported by positive cash flow from operations. The company is in compliance with all loan covenants and has sufficient liquidity to support its operations and planned capital expenditures.
