ManagementCommentary

“We closed the fourth quarter with record customer orders and outperformed our revenue and earnings guidance,” commented Michael Pope, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Despite challenging disruptions to how we interact and communicate in both education and business settings, we have experienced increased demand for our solutions in 2021 and expect to report the first quarter with revenue greater than $28 million and positive Adjusted EBITDA. Note that the first quarter is seasonally slow and has historically accounted for less than 20% of annual sales.

“We are benefiting from a robust and growing market for interactive hardware and software solutions, and are executing on our strategy to take market share by providing superior solutions and unsurpassed customer support. Specifically, we are managing an unprecedented order pipeline for our education technology solutions, including our range of interactive displays, in both the EMEA and the U.S. markets.

“We are committed to improving profit margins as we diversify our product mix with increasing sales from high margin solutions such as software, proprietary accessories and professional services.”


FinancialResults for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2020

Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2020 were $31.9 million as compared to $5.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019, resulting in a 437% increase due primarily to the acquisition of Sahara in September 2020.

Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2020 was $3.6 million as compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019. Gross profit margin for the three months ended December 31, 2020 was 11.2%, as compared to 17.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2019, resulting in a decrease of 64 basis points. The change in gross profit was mainly due to Sahara purchase accounting adjustments which resulted in a decrease to gross profit of $4.8 million; however, taking this into consideration, the normalized gross profit rate for the three months ended December 31, 2020, was $8.4 million or 26.4%. This was slightly down YOY principally due to the increases in global shipping costs which impacted margins between 2-3 percentage points.

Total operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2020 were $11.1 million as compared to $4.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The increase resulted from additional overhead costs associated with the acquired Sahara operations in September 2020.

Other income (expense) for the three months ended December 31, 2020 was net expense of $(1.9) million, as compared to net other income of $0.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The increase in other expense was due to $0.7 million of increased interest expense associated with increased borrowings, $0.8 million of losses recognized on the settlement of certain debt obligations that were exchanged for common shares, and $0.7 million of gains that were recognized in 2019 upon the remeasurement of certain derivative liabilities.

The Company reported a net loss of $(8.6) million for the three month ended December 2020 as compared to $(2.9) million for the three months ended December 31, 2019.

The net loss attributable to common shareholders was $(8.9) million and $(2.9) million for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, after deducting fixed dividends to Series B preferred shareholders.

Comprehensive loss was $(3.3) million and $(2.8) million for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, reflecting the effect of cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments of $5.3 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The resulting EPS loss for the three months ended December 31, 2020 was $(0.17) per diluted share, compared to $(0.26) per diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2019.

| --- |

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2020 was income of $0.4 million, as compared to a loss of $(2.6) million for the three months ended December 31, 2019.

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $54.9 million as compared to $33.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, a 66% increase. The increase in revenues was largely a result of the acquisition of Sahara in September 2020.

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $9.9 million as compared to $8.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, a 10% increase. The gross margin decrease from 27.1% to 18.0% was driven by the effects of certain Sahara purchase accounting adjustments of $5.1 million. The resulting normalized gross profit rate for the for the year ended December 31, 2020, was 27.2%, as compared to 27.3% for 2019, showing a slight decrease due to increased global shipping costs.

Total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $22.6 million as compared to $17.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase relates to additional overhead costs of the acquired Sahara operations.

Other income (expense) for the year ended December 31, 2020 was a net expense of $(4.3) million, as compared to a net expense of $(1.3) million for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The reported net losses were $(16.2) million and $(9.4) million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Useof 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, the change in fair value of derivative liabilities, purchase accounting impact of inventory markup, and non- cash losses associated with debt settlement. 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 assess 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.
