Management Commentary:
“Although our 2019 financial performance lagged the previous
year, we made significant progress as a company in preparing the
groundwork for our future,” commented, Michael Pope, Chief
Executive Officer. “Specifically, we advanced our product offering
and improved our sales channel, positioning us to gain market share
in future years.
Additions to our product suite include our MimioClarity audio
distribution system, Boxlight NDMS, MimioStudio 12 and
MimioInteract. We also improved our STEM offering through the
acquisition of Modern Robotics and the launch of our MimioMyBot
robotics and coding system. In partnership with the Aldrin Family
Foundation and ShareSpace Education, we offer our MimioMyBot
bundles with the Giant Moon Map™ and Giant Mars Map™ programs. Our
professional services division is also expanding with the
introduction of on-demand educator certifications.
Our sales channel continues to grow, and during 2019, we added
several new channel partners including Virtucom, Sussman Education,
Superior Fiber & Data Services and AV Associates. We have over
500 channel partners globally, and our sales growth is dependent on
the strength of our partner network.
We plan to release our Q1 2020 earnings on Friday, May 15th and
will hold a conference call on Monday, May 18th. At that time, we
will discuss our first quarter results and provide additional
updates, including the impact of COVID-19 on our financial outlook
for the remainder of 2020.”
Financial Results for the Year Ended December 31,
2019:
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $33.0 million,
a decrease of $4.8 million or 13%, compared to $37.8 million for
the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in revenue is driven
by a $6m decrease in hardware sales, including a $0.6m adjustment
resulting from the adoption of ASC Topic 606, which required us to
defer and amortize in future periods. These decreases were offset
by a $1m increase in both professional development services and
software sales. The significant decrease in hardware sales was
primarily attributable to two new large contracts in 2018 with
school districts resulting in an increase in sales volume.
Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $8.9
million, an increase of $0.2 million, compared to $8.7 million for
the year ended December 31, 2018. The resulting gross margin was
27.1% for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to 22.9% for
the year ended December 31, 2018. The year-over-year increase in
gross margin was primarily due to a larger concentration of
interactive flat panel sales with lower product margins during 2018
including two large projects in Beaufort County, South Carolina and
Clayton County, Georgia and a shift in product mix from lower to
higher margin products such as professional development services
and software revenue in 2019.
General and Administrative expenses for the year ended December
31, 2019 were $15.8 million, an increase of $0.8 million or 5%,
compared to $15.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The
increase was primarily driven by an increase in payroll
expenses.
Research and development expenses for the year ended December
31, 2019 were $1.2 million, an increase of $0.5 million or 83%,
compared to $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The
increase was primarily driven by contract services for software
consultants and salaries.
Operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $8.1
million, an increase of $1.1m or 15% compared to $7.0 million for
the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase is driven primarily
by the increases in general and administrative expense and research
and development expense.
Adjusted EBITDA loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 was
$5.9 million, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 49.4%, compared to
$3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $9.5 million,
an increase of $2.3 million, or 31%, compared to $7.2 million for
the year ended December 31, 2017. The resulting EPS loss for the
year ended December 31, 2019 was $(0.88) per diluted share,
compared to $(.72) per diluted share for the year ended December
31, 2018.
Financial Results for the Three Months Ended December 31,
2019:
Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2019 was $5.3
million, a decrease of $6.7 million or 56%, compared to $12 million
for the three months ended December 31, 2018. The 2018 revenue
included $4.6m of previously deferred revenue related to the large
Clayton County contract. In addition, the Company adopted the new
revenue recognition guidance (ASC Topic 606) which resulted in a
year to date adjustment of $0.6m that was recorded in the fourth
quarter of 2019.
Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2019 was
$0.7 million, a decrease of $2.3 million, compared to $3.0 million
for the three months ended December 31, 2018. The resulting gross
margin was 12.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2019,
compared to 25.2% for the three months ended December 31, 2018. The
decline in gross profit was primarily related to the year to date
revenue adjustment of $0.6m related to ASC Topic 606 adoption and
an increase in customs expense of $0.2m.
General and Administrative expenses for the three months ended
December 31, 2019 was $3.9 million, an increase of $0.1 million or
2%, compared to $3.8 million for the three months ended December
31, 2018.
Research and development expenses for the three months ended
December 31, 2019 remained flat at $0.3 million compared to the
three months ended December 31, 2018.
Operating loss for the three months ended December 31, 2019 was
$3.5 million, a decrease of $2.4 million, or 224%, compared to $1.1
million for the three months ended December 31, 2018.
Adjusted EBITDA loss for the three months ended December 31,
2019 was $3.1 million, an increase of $2.7 million or 711% compared
to $0.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018.
Net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2019 was $3.3
million, an increase of $2.7 million, or 448%, compared to $0.6
million for the three months ended December 31, 2018. The resulting
EPS loss for the three months ended December 31, 2019 was $(0.29)
per diluted share, compared to $(0.06) per diluted share for the
three months ended December 31, 2018.
At December 31, 2019, Boxlight had $1.2 million of cash, $20.5
million of total assets, $6.2 debt, and 11.7 million shares issued
and outstanding.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement Boxlight’s financial statements presented on a
GAAP basis, Boxlight provides EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as
supplemental measures of its performance.
To provide investors with additional insight and allow for a
more comprehensive understanding of the information used by
management in its financial and decision-making surrounding pro
forma operations, we supplement our consolidated financial
statements presented on a basis consistent with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, with EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA, non-GAAP financial measures of earnings. EBITDA represents
net income before income tax expense (benefit), interest expense,
depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA
plus stock-based compensation and change in fair value of
derivative liabilities. Our management uses EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA as financial measures to evaluate the profitability and
efficiency of our business model. We use these non-GAAP financial
measures to access the strength of the underlying operations of our
business. These adjustments, and the non-GAAP financial measures
that are derived from them, provide supplemental information to
analyze our operations between periods and over time. We find this
especially useful when reviewing pro forma results of operations,
which include large non-cash amortizations of intangible assets
from acquisitions and stock-based compensation. Investors should
consider our non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as
a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with
GAAP.
