Management Commentary

“We have made substantial progress in aligning our organization with current demand levels, while selectively investing in new solutions and enhanced sales capabilities to position Boxlight for the anticipated growth in future demand," commented Dale Strang, Chief Executive Officer. “While we faced challenging Industry conditions in certain markets in both EMEA and the Americas, our recent initiatives, including the elimination of over $5 million in annual operating expenses, have enabled us to maintain market share in the first half of 2024 and generate positive Adjusted EBITDA. We remain committed to maintaining operating expense discipline to drive future profitability."

“While this turnaround process will take time, we are positioning our Company to capture market share through our comprehensive product portfolio, aligning our brand and go-to-market strategy and identifying underserved markets, continued Mr. Strang. “In addition, we have recently launched multiple new products including UNITY, an all-in-one hardware device used in classrooms and on campus to unite and manage audio communication and safety ecosystems, providing audio, bells, paging, and alerts; TimeSign, an affordable 22” digital clock display for customized visual campus communications, and a compact new large volume STEM 3D printer. I am increasingly confident in Boxlight’s overall competitive position, both in terms of product breadth and the individual quality of our product, and our ability to capture market share and deliver growth.”

Financial Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 (Q2'24) vs. Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 (Q2'23)

Total revenues were $38.5 million as compared to $47.1 million for the second quarter last year, resulting in a 18.1% decrease. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to lower sales volume across all markets primarily resulting from lower global demand for interactive flat panel displays.

Cost of revenues were $24.0 million as compared to $29.2 million for the second quarter last year, resulting in a 17.9% decrease. The decrease in cost of revenues was attributable to the decrease in units sold.

Gross profit was $14.5 million as compared to $17.8 million for the second quarter last year, resulting in a decrease of 18.5%. Gross profit margin decreased to 37.7% from 37.9% for the second quarter last year.

Total operating expenses were $13.3 million, accounting for 34.5% of revenues, as compared to $15.8 million and 33.5% of revenues for the second quarter last year. The decrease in operating expenses was due to planned initiatives to reduce costs across all regions, with the most significant reductions in employee-related expense of $0.7 million, professional fees of $0.5 million, and stock compensation of $0.3 representing the largest decline.

Other expense, net, was $2.8 million as compared to $2.6 million for the second quarter last year, representing an increase of $0.2 million. Other expense consists primarily of interest expense on our existing debt.

Net loss was $1.5 million compared to $0.8 million for the second quarter last year and was a result of the changes noted above.

The net loss attributable to common shareholders was $1.8 million. Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the second quarter last year was $1.1 million, after deducting fixed dividends paid to Series B preferred shareholders of $0.3 million in both years.

Total comprehensive loss was $1.5 million. Total comprehensive income for the second quarter last year was $0.9 million. The change reflects the effect of foreign currency translation adjustments on consolidation, with the net effect of a $47 thousand loss for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and a $1.7 million gain for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Basic and diluted EPS for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was ($0.18). Basic and diluted EPS for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was ($0.12).

EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $3.0 million, as compared to $4.5 million EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $3.7 million, as compared to $5.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Adjustments to EBITDA included stock-based compensation expense, gains/losses from the remeasurement of derivative liabilities, and the effects of purchase accounting adjustments in connection with prior period acquisitions.

Financial Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 vs. Six Months Ended June 30, 2023

Total revenues were $75.6 million as compared to $88.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, resulting in a 14.3% decrease. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to lower sales volume across all markets primarily resulting from lower global demand for interactive flat panel displays.

Gross profit was $27.3 million as compared to $33.0 million for six months ended June 30, 2023 resulting in a decrease of 17.1%. Gross profit margin decreased to 36.2% for Q2'24 from 37.4% for Q2'23. The decrease in gross profit margin is primarily related to a difference in product mix as well as lower sales volume as noted above.

Total operating expenses were $29.7 million as compared to $31.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in operating expenses was due to planed initiatives to reduce costs across all regions, with the most significant reductions employee-related expenses of $0.4 million, stock compensation of $0.4 million, and EMEA distribution costs of $0.6 million

Net loss increased $4.8 million to $8.6 million and was a result of the changes noted above. Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $9.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $4.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023, after deducting fixed dividends paid to Series B preferred shareholders of approximately $0.6 million in both years.

Total comprehensive loss was $9.4 million compared to $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, reflecting the effect of cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments on consolidation, with the net effect of $0.9 million loss and a $2.3 million gain for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.

Basic and diluted EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was ($0.94), compared to ($0.47) per basic and diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $1.5 million, as compared to $6.4 million EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $3.8 million, as compared to $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Balance Sheet

At June 30, 2024, Boxlight had $7.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, $46.7 million in working capital and $40.3 million in debt, net of debt issuance costs.

The financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are preliminary and may change as a result of the completion of our financial closing procedures.

Forward Looking Statements

This press release may contain information about Boxlight’s view of its future expectations, plans and prospects that constitute forward-looking statements, including the information under the heading "Financial Outlook." Actual results may differ materially from historical results or those indicated by these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors including, but not limited to, risks and uncertainties associated with its ability to maintain and grow its business, variability of operating results, its development and introduction of new products and services, marketing and other business development initiatives, and competition in the industry, among other things. Boxlight encourages you to review other factors that may affect its future results and performance in Boxlight’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed on March 14, 2024. Given these factors, risks and uncertainties, we caution you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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, which are non-GAAP financial measures of earnings. EBITDA represents net loss before income tax expense (benefit), interest expense, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA plus stock-based compensation, severance charges, the change in fair value of derivative liabilities, and the purchase accounting impact of inventory markup and fair value adjustments to deferred revenue. 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.

We report our operating results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We have disclosed in the table below the results on a constant currency basis to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our results without regard to the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. The term foreign currency exchange rates refers to the exchange rates we use to translate our operating results into U.S. Dollars for all countries where the functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar. Because we are a global company, the foreign currency exchange rates used for translation may have a significant effect on our reported results. In general, our reported financial results are affected positively by a weaker U.S. Dollar and are affected negatively by a stronger U.S. Dollar as compared to the foreign currencies in which we conduct our business. References to our operating results on a constant-currency basis mean our operating results without the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

We believe disclosure of constant-currency results is helpful to investors because it facilitates period-to-period comparisons of our results by increasing the transparency of our underlying performance by excluding the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. However, constant-currency results are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures and are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Constant-currency results have no standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP, are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Constant-currency results have limitations in their usefulness to investors and may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Discussion of the Effect of Constant Currency on Financial Condition

We calculate constant-currency amounts by translating local currency amounts in the current period at actual foreign exchange rates for the prior year period. Our constant-currency results do not eliminate the transaction currency impact of purchases and sales of products in a currency other than the functional currency.
