Avalon Holdings Corporation reported a slight increase in net operating revenues to $18.9 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to $18.4 million for the same period in 2023. The waste management services segment saw a marginal decrease in revenues from $12.7 million to $12.5 million, attributed to a decrease in event work projects, while the golf and related operations segment experienced an increase from $5.8 million to $6.4 million due to higher membership dues rates and increased business at The Grand Resort and country clubs. Operating costs for waste management services decreased to $9.9 million, and golf and related operations costs remained steady at $5.9 million. The company's net loss attributable to common shareholders improved to $1.0 million, or $0.25 per share, in Q1 2024 from a net loss of $1.7 million, or $0.43 per share, in Q1 2023. Avalon's growth strategy focuses on internal growth for waste management services and expanding membership for golf operations. The company's liquidity is supported by cash from operations and a line of credit, with anticipated cash flows expected to meet operating requirements. Avalon's operations are subject to seasonal variations and economic conditions, including inflation, which may impact consumer spending and operating costs. The company's waste management segment faces challenges in retaining skilled personnel, and the golf segment's success depends on maintaining liquor licenses and attracting new members. Avalon's financial performance may be affected by legal proceedings, economic downturns, labor challenges, commodity costs, and the operational status of its saltwater disposal wells.
