Executive Summary
- Q3 revenue rose 176% year over year to $1.05M as Direct Solar scaled; gross profit improved to $525.9K, and the quarter turned to a modest net income ($0.62M) primarily due to a $1.98M non‑cash gain on the derivative liability .
- Management highlighted strong momentum in solar and hemp: Direct Solar “continues to exceed revenue growth targets,” and the company launched 1606 hemp cigarettes with initial orders shipped; they “anticipate a big fourth quarter” but provided no formal numerical guidance .
- Operating loss persisted at $(0.65)M, and liquidity remains constrained (cash $0.29M; negative working capital ~$(6.0)M; stockholders’ deficit ~$(5.1)M), raising going‑concern risk and reliance on convertible debt financing .
- No Wall Street consensus estimates were available on S&P Global for SING; therefore, no beat/miss analysis vs. estimates is possible (consensus unavailable on S&P Global).
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
-
What Went Well
- Revenue acceleration and gross profit expansion: Q3 revenue of $1.05M (+176% YoY) and gross profit of $525.9K (vs. $75.4K LY) reflect Direct Solar’s contribution and mix shift to higher‑margin activities .
- Non‑cash tailwind: A $1.98M gain from the change in fair value of the derivative liability swung net income to $0.62M, offsetting operating losses .
- Management momentum and product launches: “We are establishing solid financials and we anticipate a big fourth quarter… We believe SinglePoint’s revenues will continue to grow as our subsidiary Direct Solar expanded into new markets” (CEO Greg Lambrecht). “Initial response to the ‘Pure American Hemp Cigarette’ has been overwhelming… launching ‘ORIGINAL 1606 HEMP’” (VP Sales Don Smith) .
-
What Went Wrong
- Core profitability still negative: Q3 loss from operations was $(0.65)M despite higher gross profit, underscoring ongoing operating inefficiency and investment needs .
- Liquidity and going‑concern risks: Cash was $0.29M; management disclosed negative working capital of ~$(6.0)M and total stockholders’ deficit of
$(5.1)M, requiring additional capital within the next 12 months ($2.5M cash need) . - Capital structure pressure and dilution: Convertible notes payable (net) increased to $1.88M and derivative liability stood at $3.84M; share issuance for services and conversions continued during 2019 .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Execution: Revenue and gross profit inflected positively, with Direct Solar the main catalyst; service mix is driving more durable gross profit versus prior periods .
- Quality of earnings: Q3 profitability was largely driven by a non‑cash, mark‑to‑market derivative liability gain ($1.98M); core operations remain loss‑making (operating loss $(0.65)M) .
- Liquidity risk: Negative working capital (~$(6.0)M) and a stated ~$2.5M 12‑month cash need imply near‑term financing dependence (likely via convertible notes or equity), with dilution risk .
- Growth vectors: Direct Solar expansion and the 1606 hemp cigarette launch/initial orders create revenue catalysts into Q4 and 2020, albeit from a small base and with execution/manufacturing/distribution risks .
- Capital structure volatility: Large, fluctuating derivative liability and growing convertible debt introduce earnings volatility and shareholder dilution dynamics; monitor further note issuances/conversions and fair‑value impacts .
- Reporting cadence: Lack of consensus coverage and absence of a call transcript reduces external validation and visibility; investors may rely more heavily on 10‑Q/8‑K disclosures for near‑term signals .
- Near‑term trading setup: Potential headlines around Direct Solar deals, 1606 distribution wins, or financing updates could drive outsized moves given micro‑cap liquidity; quality of cash generation versus non‑cash gains will be key to reaction .
