Financial Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were $46.8 million as compared to $7.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, resulting in a 497% increase due primarily to the acquisition of Sahara in September 2020 and increased demand for our solutions.

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $12.8 million as compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The gross profit margin for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was 27.5%, and adjusted for the net effect of acquisition-related purchase accounting, the margin was 29.1%, as compared to the 34.4% gross margin, as adjusted, reported for the three months ended June 30, 2020. As reported in Q1 2021, gross margins have been adversely impacted by approximately four percentage points due to increased freight and customs costs caused by supply chain challenges associated with the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic; this is anticipated to continue throughout 2021.

Total operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were $11.3 million as compared to $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase primarily resulted from additional overhead costs associated with the acquired Sahara operations in September 2020.

Other income (expense) for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was net expense of $(1.3) million, as compared to net expense of $(0.6) million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in other expense was due to $0.1 million of increased interest expense associated with increased borrowings, $0.6 million of losses recognized on the settlement of certain debt obligations that were exchanged for common shares, and $0.1 million of additional gains that were recognized in 2021 upon the remeasurement of certain derivative liabilities associated with common stock warrants.

The Company reported a net loss of $(2.2) million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to a net loss of $(1.4) million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Our UK deferred tax liabilities required remeasurement in the quarter to book an expense of $2.2M, following a change to the UK income tax rate in June 2021. Finance Bill 2021 (“the Bill”) provides for an increase in the UK statutory tax rate to 25% (from 19%) for taxpayers with profits over £250K beginning April 1, 2023.

The net loss attributable to common shareholders was $(2.2) million and $(1.4) million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, after deducting the fixed dividends to Series B preferred shareholders of $317 thousand and the fair value revaluation deemed contribution of $367 thousand following the redemption amendment to the Series B signed June 14, 2021.

Total comprehensive loss was $(1.7) million and $(1.4) million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, reflecting the effect of cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments on consolidation, with the net effect in the quarter of $0.5 million gain and $(0.0) million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The EPS loss for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $(0.04) per basic and diluted share, compared to $(0.08) per basic and diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

EBITDA for the three months ending June 30, 2021 was $2.9 million, as compared to $(0.6) million EBITDA loss for the three months ending June 30, 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $5.4 million, as compared to $0.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Adjustments to EBITDA include stock-based compensation expense, gains/losses recognized upon the settlement of certain debt instruments, gains/losses from the remeasurement of derivative liabilities, and the effects of purchase accounting adjustments in connection with acquisitions.

At June 30, 2021, Boxlight had $7.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, $26.7 million in working capital, $155.3 million in total assets, $18.9 debt, $51.1 million in stockholders’ equity, 57.8 million common shares issued and outstanding, and 3.1 million preferred shares issued and outstanding.

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were $80.2 million as compared to $13.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, resulting in a 492% increase due primarily to the acquisition of Sahara in September 2020 and increased demand for our solutions.

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $21.4 million as compared to $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

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, 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.
