Net revenues consist primarily of service fees
from transaction processing. Net revenues were approximately $16.8
million for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2020 and 2019. Cost of
revenues represents direct costs of generating revenues, including
commissions, mobile operator fees, interchange expense, processing,
and non-processing fees. Cost of revenues for the three months
ended Sept. 30, 2020 were approximately $14.6 million as compared
to approximately $14.1 million for the three months ended Sept. 30,
2019.
The gross margin for the three months ended
Sept. 30, 2020 was approximately $2.2 million, or 13.0% of net
revenues, as compared to approximately $2.7 million, or 16.3% of
net revenues, for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2019. The
primary reason for the decrease in the overall gross margin
percentage was primarily the result of the competitive pressure in
our industry, relating to costs that can be passed through to our
merchants.
Operating Expenses
Analysis:
Operating expenses were approximately $4.1
million for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2020, as compared to
$3.6 million for three months ended Sept. 30, 2019. Operating
expenses for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2020, primarily
consisted of selling, general and administrative expenses of
approximately $1.6 million, non-cash compensation of approximately
$1.1 million, bad debt expense of approximately $600,000, and
depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $750,000.
Operating expenses for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2019,
primarily consisted of selling, general and administrative expenses
of approximately $2.4 million, bad debt expense of approximately
$400,000, and depreciation and amortization expenses of
approximately $750,000. The increase in operating expenses was
primarily related to the non-cash compensation with a corresponding
decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses due to
the reduction of the labor force and the compensation of certain
employees and executives of the Company, as compared to the
previous corresponding quarter.
The components of the Company’s selling, general
and administrative expenses are reflected in the tables below.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for
the three months ended Sept. 30, 2020 and 2019 consisted of

Salaries, benefits, taxes and contractor
payments decreased by approximately $0.4 million on a consolidated
basis for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2020 as compared to the
three months ended Sept. 30, 2019. This was primarily due to
necessary reductions in staffing and the reduction of compensation
of certain employees and executives of the Company, due to the
effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on Net Element’s operations.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial
Measures and Regulation G Disclosure
To supplement its consolidated financial
statements presented in accordance with United States generally
accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company provides
additional measures of its operating results by disclosing its
adjusted net loss attributable to Net Element, Inc. stockholders.
Adjusted net loss attributable to Net Element stockholders is
calculated as net loss attributable to Net Element stockholders
excluding non-cash share-based compensation. The Company discloses
this amount on an aggregate and per-share basis. These measures
meet the definition of non-GAAP financial measures. The Company
believes that application of these non-GAAP financial measures is
appropriate to enhance the understanding of the Company’s investors
regarding its historical performance through the use of a metric
that seeks to normalize period-to-period earnings. A reconciliation
of these non-GAAP financial measures with the comparable financial
measures calculated in accordance with GAAP for the quarter ended
Sept. 30, 2020, and Sept. 30, 2019, is presented in the following
tables.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial
MeasuresNon-GAAP measures should not be considered a
substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in
accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP measures exclude significant
expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company's
financial statements and are subject to inherent limitations.
About Net ElementNet Element,
Inc. (NASDAQ: NETE) operates a payments-as-a-service transactional
and value-added services platform for small to medium enterprise
("SME") in the U.S. and selected emerging markets. On Aug. 5, 2020,
Net Element announced the execution of a definitive agreement (the
“Merger Agreement”) to merge with privately-held Mullen
Technologies, Inc. (“Mullen”), a Southern California-based electric
vehicle company in a stock-for-stock reverse merger in which
Mullen’s stockholders will receive a majority of the outstanding
stock in the post-merger company (the “contemplated merger”). That
contemplated merger is subject to customary closing conditions,
regulatory approvals and shareholder approval for both
companies.
Forward-Looking
StatementsSecurities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Any
statements contained in this press release that are not statements
of historical fact may be deemed forward-looking statements. Words
such as "continue," "will," "may," "could," "should," "expect,"
"expected," "plans," "intend," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate,"
"predict," "potential," and similar expressions are intended to
identify such forward-looking statements. All forward-looking
statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or
implied in the forward-looking statements, many of which are
generally outside the control of Net Element and are difficult to
predict. Examples of such risks and uncertainties include, but are
not limited to what the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
will have on the Company and its operations, whether the proposed
merger with Mullen will be consummated, including the receipt and
timing of required approvals and satisfaction of other conditions
to the closing of the proposed merger and the related transactions
contemplated in the merger agreement, whether the Company will
achieve growth or achieve its goals and when the Company will reach
profitability. Additional examples of such risks and uncertainties
include, but are not limited to (i) Net Element's ability (or
inability) to obtain additional financing in sufficient amounts or
on acceptable terms when needed; (ii) Net Element's ability to
maintain existing, and secure additional, contracts with users of
its payment processing services; (iii) Net Element's ability to
successfully expand in existing markets and enter new markets; (iv)
Net Element's ability to successfully manage and integrate any
acquisitions of businesses, solutions or technologies; (v)
unanticipated operating costs, transaction costs and actual or
contingent liabilities; (vi) the ability to attract and retain
qualified employees and key personnel; (vii) adverse effects of
increased competition on Net Element's business; (viii) changes in
government licensing and regulation that may adversely affect Net
Element's business; (ix) the risk that changes in consumer behavior
could adversely affect Net Element's business; (x) Net Element's
ability to protect its intellectual property; (xi) local, industry
and general business and economic conditions; and (xii) adverse
effects of potentially deteriorating U.S.-Russia relations,
including, without limitation, over a conflict related to Ukraine,
including a risk of further U.S. government sanctions or other
legal restrictions on U.S. businesses doing business in Russia.
Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking
statements can be found in the most recent annual report on Form
10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form
8-K filed by Net Element with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Net Element anticipates that subsequent events and
developments may cause its plans, intentions and expectations to
change. Net Element assumes no obligation, and it specifically
disclaims any intention or obligation, to update any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise, except as expressly required by law.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made
and should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s plans
and expectations as of any subsequent date.
