Millennium Sustainable Ventures Corp. (MILC)·Q4 2019 Earnings Summary

Executive Summary

  • Q4 2019 disclosure consisted of an 8-K furnishing SMC Global Securities Limited’s unaudited consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended December 31, 2019; management explicitly noted these are not the registrant’s financial statements, providing no MILC revenue/EPS/margins or guidance .
  • MILC executed two Right-to-Sell transactions around Q4: 600,000 SMC shares sold on October 1, 2019 for $632,683 ($1.054/share) and 300,000 SMC shares sold on December 10, 2019 for $317,500 ($1.058/share), ending Q4 with 9,104,690 SMC shares held .
  • No earnings call transcript or additional press releases were found for Q4 2019; investor visibility into MILC’s quarter is limited to movements in its minority SMC stake and attached SMC financials .
  • Near-term stock reaction catalysts appear tied to SMC liquidity events (Right-to-Sell executions, potential listing/IPO) rather than registrant-level operating performance, as the 8-K contained no registrant guidance or results .

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

  • Executed Right-to-Sell transactions at roughly $1.05/share, monetizing a portion of the SMC stake while preserving a large residual holding (9.10M shares post-December sale), supporting near-term liquidity without reliance on registrant operations .
  • Continued transparency on SMC via filed financial statements, consistent with registrant’s commitment to furnish SMC’s results as its relevant asset; “The SMC Financial Statements are not financial statements of the Registrant” but are provided for investor context .
  • Documentation recapped the Right-to-Sell framework and reiterated the intent for ongoing public filing of SMC financials, which aids investors tracking valuation and proceeds from share sales .

What Went Wrong

  • No registrant-level quarterly financials (revenues, EPS, margins) or guidance were furnished; investors lack clarity on MILC’s own P&L or cash flows for Q4 2019 .
  • No earnings call or Q&A; the filing did not provide qualitative commentary on quarter-to-quarter drivers at the registrant level, limiting insight into strategy or capital allocation beyond SMC share sales .
  • Right-to-Sell counterparty performance risk persists; the 8-K cautions there is “no assurance the ‘promoter group’ will comply” with obligations—an ongoing headwind for predictability of monetization cadence .

Financial Results

MILC did not furnish registrant-level revenues/EPS/margins in Q4 2019; the 8-K only attached SMC’s nine-month financial statements and confirmed they are not MILC’s financials.

  • “On October 1, 2019 MILC completed the sale of 600,000 shares of SMC for net proceeds of approximately $632,683 which translates to approximately $1.054 per SMC share. After giving effect to the sales described herein, MILC holds 9,404,690 shares of SMC Global (‘SMC’).” (Form 8-K Item 8.01, Oct 1, 2019) .

Q&A Highlights

  • No Q&A section is available as no earnings call transcript was furnished; the 8-K disclosures were limited to SMC financial statement exhibits and transaction updates without registrant-level Q&A .

Estimates Context

  • Wall Street consensus (S&P Global) for MILC Q4 2019 EPS and revenue was unavailable; the registrant furnished no MILC financials, and our S&P Global query returned no mapped estimates for MILC.*
  • With no registrant-level results or guidance, sell-side models (if any) would hinge on valuation/realization of the SMC stake rather than operating metrics.

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • MILC’s quarter was defined by SMC monetization, not registrant operations: two Right-to-Sell transactions at ~$1.05/share generated $950K total proceeds and reduced the stake to 9.10M shares by December 12, 2019 .
  • The 8-K furnished SMC’s nine-month financials but did not include MILC’s revenues/EPS/margins or guidance, limiting fundamental analysis at the registrant level .
  • Execution risk remains with the Right-to-Sell counterparty; filings caution there is no assurance of compliance, which can affect timing of monetizations and cash generation .
  • Near-term trading likely ties to further Right-to-Sell executions or any developments toward an SMC listing/IPO; monitor subsequent 8-Ks for additional sales and updated holdings .
  • Without registrant financials or a call, there are no estimate beats/misses to anchor; any revisions should focus on expected monetization cadence and valuation of the SMC stake rather than MILC operating metrics .
  • Position sizing should reflect disclosure limitations and OTC liquidity conditions; catalysts are event-driven (transactions, SMC corporate actions) rather than quarterly operating performance .
  • Continue tracking exhibit filings for SMC financials to triangulate potential valuation implications for MILC’s stake and realized proceeds in future periods .
