Management Commentary

“I would like to thank our friends and shareholders for their tremendous support during this critical time as a Company,” commented Michael Pope, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We have experienced significant transition since our 2016 merger of Mimio and the Boxlight Group, and our subsequent IPO in 2017. Since that time, we have attracted a tremendous management team, assembled a global channel partner network, closed the acquisitions of Cohuba, Qwizdom, EOS Education, Modern Robotics, Robo3d and MyStemKits, continued to innovate with award-winning products and services, consolidated our operations and supply chain, and organized our systems and accounting under one ERP system. We are proud of our progress, and I believe we are better positioned as a company today than any time in our history.

I look forward to sharing additional commentary on our earnings call concerning our product strategy, response to the COVID-19 crisis, significant operating expense reductions, plans to improve our balance sheet and expectation to generate future profits.

Our company mission and vision have not changed. We are committed to become the leader of innovative and effective educational technology solutions. We aim to improve learning and engagement in classrooms, and help educators enhance student outcomes and build essential skills. We understand that we must be nimble, flexible and innovate to meet the demands for today’s evolving education requirements, and we are doing just that.”

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.
