Management Commentary

"The market for interactive flat panel technology was challenging throughout 2024, and our financial results are a direct reflection of that dynamic," commented Dale Strang, Chief Executive Officer. "The uncertainty surrounding government spending had a significant impact on buying behavior in several of major territories. While macro effects of factors such as tariffs might impact the overall market trends, Boxlight is fortunate to have built a diversified supply chain and a distributed geographical revenue base that largely insulates our business from any direct tariff impact. We have also spent much of 2024 improving our operating efficiency by streamlining processes and aggressive expense reduction, in line with our goal of making Boxlight the highest-value provider to customers. Encouragingly, analysts project a market recovery beginning in the second half of 2025 and into 2026. Our efficiency, combined with our expansion into new markets, such as corporate signage and campus communication solutions, positions us uniquely to outperform the market as it recovers. Accordingly, we are confident that Boxlight is poised to navigate the current challenges better than others in the industry as the market rebound gains momentum."

"Our largest and most-established market of interactive flat panel displays has begun shifting from an initial installation and optimization market to a technology refresh cycle," continued Mr. Strang. "This dynamic will ultimately benefit Boxlight due to our existing installation base and a diverse and comprehensive solutions suite which positions us to deliver upgrades across the entire value chain. Ongoing conversations with clients indicate the potential for significant and growing demand for technology updates, and while the economic uncertainty may affect the exact timing of this refresh cycle, demand will only increase as older technology begins to lag the evolving needs of our users. In addition to the growing demand for updating IFPDs, we are seeing encouraging signs of near-term demand in the audio and campus communication sector of our business, which should benefit our 2025 results."

Financial Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2024 (Q4'24) vs. Three Months Ended December 31, 2023 (Q4'23)

Total revenues were $24.0 million as compared to $38.8 million for Q4'23, resulting in a 38.2% decrease. The decrease in revenues was due to lower sales volume across all markets resulting from lower global demand for interactive flat panel displays as well as competitive industry pricing.

Gross profit for Q4'24 was $7.3 million as compared to $12.3 million for Q4'23, resulting in a decrease of 40.3%. Gross profit margin decreased to 30.6% for Q4'24 compared to 31.7% for Q4'23. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily related to recent increases in pricing pressure within the industry.

Total Q4'24 operating expenses were $23.6 million, as compared to $28.9 million for Q4'23, representing an 18.5% decrease from Q4'23. Excluding accelerated amortization of $12.3 million in Q4'24, total operating expenses were $11.3 million. Excluding non-recurring impairment charges, operating expenses were $16.9 million in Q4'23. The decrease in operating expenses is primarily due to planned initiatives to reduce operating expenses across all cost groups, with the largest declines in employee-related expenses of $2.0 million, occupancy expense of $1.1 million, stock compensation expense of $1.2 million, sales and marketing expense of $0.3 million, and travel expenses of $0.4 million.

Net loss, inclusive of $12.3 million accelerated amortization decreased $1.0 million to $16.7 million for Q4'24 and was a result of the changes noted above. Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $17.0 million in Q4'24 compared to $18.0 million in Q4'23, after deducting fixed dividends paid to Series B preferred shareholders of $0.3 million in both years.

Total Q4'24 comprehensive loss was $19.2 million compared to $14.9 million loss for Q4'23. The change reflects the effect of foreign currency translation adjustments on consolidation, with the net effect of a $2.5 million loss in Q4'24 and a $2.8 million income for Q4'23.

Basic and diluted EPS for Q4'24 was ($8.65) compared to ($9.35) for Q4'23.

EBITDA loss for Q4'24 was $2.5 million, as compared to EBITDA loss of $14.6 million for Q4'23.

Adjusted EBITDA loss for Q4'24 was $1.8 million, as compared to Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.1 million for Q4'23. Adjustments to EBITDA included stock-based compensation expense, impairment of goodwill, gains/losses from the remeasurement of derivative liabilities, severance charges, and the effects of purchase accounting adjustments in connection with prior period acquisitions.

Financial Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2024 (FY'24) vs. the Year Ended December 31, 2023 (FY'23)

Total revenues for FY'24 were $135.9 million as compared to $176.7 million for FY'23, resulting in a 23.1% decrease. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to lower sales volume across all markets resulting from lower global demand for interactive flat panel displays as well as competitive industry pricing. FY'24 gross profit was $46.9 million, or 34.5% gross profit margin, as compared to $63.3 million or 35.8% gross profit margin, for FY'23.

Total operating expenses for FY'24 were $66.4 million (inclusive of $12.3 million accelerated amortization) as compared to $89.6 million for FY'23, inclusive of $25.2 million in goodwill impairment. The decrease in operating expenses is primarily due to planned initiatives to reduce operating expenses across all cost groups, with the largest declines in personnel related expenses of approximately $4.3 million, a reduction in occupancy costs of approximately $1.5 million, a decrease in sales and marketing expenses of approximately $1.1 million, a reduction in stock compensation of $1.7 million, and a decrease in travel expenses of approximately $1 million partially offset by a $1 million increase in research and development costs.

Net loss for FY'24 was $28.3 million, compared to $39.2 million for FY'23. Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $29.6 million and $40.4 million for FY'24 and FY'23, respectively, after deducting fixed dividends paid to Series B preferred shareholders of $1.3 million in both years.

Basic and diluted EPS for FY'24 was ($15.11) per basic and diluted share, compared to ($21.38) per basic and diluted share for FY'23.

EBITDA for FY'24 was $0.5 million, as compared to $17.6 million EBITDA loss for FY'23. Adjusted EBITDA for FY'24 was $4.3 million, as compared to $12.6 million for FY'23.

Balance Sheet; Credit Agreement

At December 31, 2024, Boxlight had $8.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, $1.3 million in working capital, and $37.1 million in debt, net of debt issuance costs.

As of December 31, 2024, we were not in compliance with the senior leverage ratio financial covenant under our credit agreement. Subsequent to quarter end, we were not in compliance with the borrowing base financial covenant under the Credit Agreement. On March 24, 2025, the Company entered into the Eighth Amendment to our Credit Agreement to waive the noncompliance. Although we have previously been successful in obtaining waivers with respect to these matters, there can be no assurance that we will obtain them in the future, or that the lender will not take action to accelerate all of our obligations under the Credit Agreement in the event of future noncompliance.

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. 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.

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 income before income tax expense (benefit), interest expense, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA plus stock-based compensation, severance charges, impairment of goodwill, the change in fair value of derivative liabilities, 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.
