CHESAPEAKE, Va., Dec. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: GWAV), a leader in sustainable metal recycling across Virginia, North Carolina, and Ohio, is on track to generate $15 – $35 million in revenue through a contract with Core Tree Care, Inc., related to a prime contract with the Army Corps of Engineers. This high-value contract highlights Greenwave's ability to secure strategic partnerships in critical infrastructure recovery efforts.
As part of the extensive recovery efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, the deadliest U.S. hurricane since Katrina in 2005, Greenwave is playing a significant role in removal and processing of trees in several counties outside of Asheville, North Carolina.
Operating advanced equipment, including one Vermeer and two Morbark Wood Grinders valued at $1.4 million each, the Company is applying the skills and knowledge gleaned from its two decades in metal recycling to wood recycling – a new revenue stream for Greenwave.
Proven Track Record of Delivering Federal Contracts
Chairman and CEO Danny Meeks, a seasoned industry expert with over two decades of experience, brings unmatched expertise in disaster recovery and recycling. Notably, a company owned by Mr. Meeks was awarded a $100 million federal subcontract for the removal of debris from New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, overseeing a massive logistics operation involving 1,500 trucks and 5,000 personnel over a two-year period.
This proven track-record of executing large-scale government contracts positions Greenwave to secure and execute contracts for disaster recovery along with other strategic opportunities. This new revenue channel is expected to generate $15 to $35 million in revenue, along with healthy free cashflow by March 31, 2026.
Strategic Growth Initiatives
Greenwave continues to prioritize government contracts as a key driver of revenue and cash flow growth. Its current portfolio includes critical infrastructure projects such as the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel expansion, agreements with numerous municipalities to recycle abandoned cars, and fulfillment of several contracts awarded by the U.S. Federal Government.
Leveraging its proximity to the Port of Virginia and the largest naval base in United States, Naval Station Norfolk, Greenwave's recycling operations are uniquely positioned to capitalize on the consistent supply of prime scrap metal generated by ancillary shipyards, cargo facilities, and defense contractors.
Projected Financial Impact
With the Core Tree Care, Inc. subcontract, related to an Army Corps of Engineers prime contract, expected to deliver robust revenue growth and free cash flow in the coming quarters, Greenwave anticipates continued financial momentum. Its strategic focus on securing high-value government contracts underscores the company's commitment to consistent revenue growth and building long-term shareholder value.
