growth as revenues have increased 7% through the first nine months
of the year, as compared to the same time period of 2018. As we
increase revenue, our strategy to implement higher margin software
and services has been successful, demonstrated by the strength in
gross profit margin. Our gross margins have reached 30%, which we
believe is sustainable with a goal of improving margins in future
years.
Management Commentary
Boxlight’s Chief Executive Officer, Mark Elliott, stated, “We
are pleased with our quarterly and year-to-date revenue growth and
gross profit margin improvement. Our total classroom solution of
interactive learning technologies, products and services, continues
to evolve and gain traction in the market. We are seeing success
with both existing customers looking to expand, and new customers
looking to join the technology transformation or replace dated or
inferior solutions.”
Elliott continued, “Our strong third quarter growth was driven
by newly awarded contracts and continued implementations across a
number of school districts. As we mature as a company, our revenues
are becoming more predictable and taking on a recurring nature.
School districts and counties throughout the U.S. are typically on
a five- to seven-year technology replacement cycles. The majority
of significant, school-wide awarded contracts call for multi-year
rollouts. Once with a school district, we are likely to attain
additional business with new products and services and
replacements, and we are in an ideal position for the next upgrade
cycle. We continue to target large, high-profile sales
opportunities, and given our high success rate, we feel extremely
confident in our future growth prospects. With our expanding
re-seller partner network, experienced management team and sales
force, and the most comprehensive product suite in the market, we
are uniquely positioned to be a leader in global education
technology.”
Financial Results for the Three Months Ended September 30,
2019:
Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $11.6
million, an increase of $1.4 million or 14%, compared to $10.2
million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase
is primarily attributable to the increase in sales of hardware,
software and professional development services. We are also
beginning to see growth in our high margin product offerings
including professional development, STEM and software.
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was
$3.4 million, an increase of $1.0 million, compared to $2.4 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The resulting gross
margin was 30% for the three months ended September 30, 2019,
compared to 24% for the three months ended September 30, 2018.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 2019 was $4.3 million, relatively flat compared to
$4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018.
Research and development expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 2019 was $0.4 million, an increase of $0.3 million or
255%, compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended September
30, 2018. The increase was due primarily to software and
engineering costs.
Other income for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was
$0.9 million, as compared to $0.7 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2018. Other income mainly consists of interest
expense and change in the fair value of derivative liabilities. The
change in the fair value of derivative liability of $0.6 million
was a result of the quarterly mark to market adjustment impacted by
the change in the stock price. This was offset by the increase of
$0.3 million in interest from a loan entered in 2019.
Operating loss for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was
$1.2 million, a decrease of $0.7 million, or 39%, compared to $1.9
million for the three months ended September 30, 2018.
Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $0.3
million, a decrease of $0.9 million, or 76%, compared to $1.2
million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The
resulting EPS loss for the three months ended September 30, 2019
was ($0.03) per diluted share, compared to ($0.12) per diluted
share for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease
in the net loss was primarily due to increased revenue, a decrease
in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue and change in fair
value of derivative liabilities.
Adjusted EBITDA loss for the three months ended September 30,
2019 was $0.4 million, a decrease of $0.8 million or 69% compared
to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The
resulting adjusted EPS loss for the three months ended September
30, 2019 was $(0.03) per diluted share compared to ($0.11) per
diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2018.
Financial Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30,
2019:
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $27.7
million, an increase of $1.8 million or 7%, compared to $25.9
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was
$8.3 million, an increase of $2.7 million, compared to $5.6 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The resulting gross
margin was 30% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019,
compared to 22% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 2019 was $11.9 million, an increase of $0.7 million
or 7%, compared to $11.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to the
increase in employee salary of $0.6 million, increase in bonuses of
$0.3 million and increase in contract services of $0.2 million,
which was offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation of $0.7
million.
Research and development expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 2019 was $0.9 million, an increase of $0.5 million or
147%, compared to $0.4 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2018. The increase in research and development expense was
related to contract services primarily for software consultant
costs of $0.3 million for Qwizdom and salaries of $0.1 million each
for Qwizdom and Modern Robotics engineers.
Other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was
an $1.6 million, as compared to $0.7 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2018. Other expense increased primarily due to
increased interest expense of $0.7 million from loans and a change
in fair value of derivative liability of $0.2 million resulting
from the quarterly mark to market adjustment driven by the change
in the stock price.
Operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was
$4.6 million, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 23%, compared to $5.9
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

compared to $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2018.

to $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement Boxlight’s financial statements presented on a
GAAP basis, Boxlight provides EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted
EPS 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, Adjusted
EBITDA and Adjusted EPS as 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 and change in fair
value of derivative liabilities. Adjusted EPS represents Adjusted
EBITDA divided by the number of fully diluted shares outstanding.
Our management uses EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EPS as
financial measures to evaluate the profitability and efficiency of
our business model. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to
access 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.
