Jeromy Olson, the CEO of Sports Field Holdings commented “We are very excited about the first half of 2017.  We have doubled 2016’s mid-year’s revenue pace. We have had three consecutive quarters with increased gross margins.  With $11.2 million in backlog, we believe that we could finish 2017 as our strongest year to date."

Mr. Olson continued, “Our western expansion, especially California, has opened up numerous opportunities as our safety focused, carcinogen free products are highly sought.  We have the infrastructure in place to increase our workload with minimal impact on SG&A and are committed to maintaining increased margins and product quality while driving revenues moving forward. 

"With the American economy continuing to improve and the need for major infrastructure improvements to high schools, colleges and universities around the country, we believe the Company is well positioned to capitalize on the anticipated growth.”

New Market Opportunities

The Company has entered both the recreational playground and running track markets, two new markets which we believe could present attractive growth opportunities.  Importantly, these two markets are within the synthetic turf and facilities arena, thus allowing the Company to remain focused on its vision -- to build the #1 athletic facilities design build company that is dedicated to athlete safety and performance in America.
