2019 Outlook

The current project roll-out implementation schedule, business pipeline, backlog and awarded contracts support our guidance of at least 25% revenue growth and approximately 30% gross profit margin for the second half of 2019. We expect the increase in gross profit margin over 2018 as higher margin hardware, software and professional services contribute more significantly to revenue. We are adequately capitalized to execute on our 2019 plans and to realize our growth strategy.

Management Commentary

“We continue to see strong demand for our products and services as the K-12 classroom continues to evolve with interactive learning technologies and our products and services are at the forefront of this technology transition,” commented, Mark Elliott, Boxlight’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our strong second quarter growth was driven by roll-outs and implementations across a number of school districts, including San Diego Unified School District, CA, Montgomery County School District, MD, Chesapeake School District, VA, Provo Schools, UT, Anacortes Schools, WA, Atlanta Public Schools, GA, Clayton County Schools, GA, Collier County School District, FL, Henry County School District, GA and Highland Park Schools, TX, among others. Our team continues to do a tremendous job in developing an innovative hardware, software and service solution that educators need to improve engagement and learning in the classroom. This is reflected in our recent awards and recognition at the ISTE education technology conference, several successful implementations, and our tremendous sales pipeline across the U.S. and in key international markets including EMEA and Latin America. We are targeting a record number of prospective sales opportunities and given our high success rate, we feel extremely confident in our year-over-year growth prospects. Over the past three years, we have grown our annual revenues from $20 million to $26 million to $38 million and believe we are better positioned for growth than at any other time in our history. We added several new re-seller partners including Virtuocomm, Sussman Education, Computer Hardware and Superior Fiber and Data Services, and our re-seller partner network is as strong as ever. Our re-sellers coupled with our seasoned management team, strong sales force and continued product development, help us deliver our best-in-class and award-winning interactive technology solutions to the education market globally.”

Recurring Nature of Business Model and Contracts

As the Company’s business continues to evolve, it is taking on more of a recurring revenue characteristic. School districts and counties throughout the U.S. are typically on 5-7 year technology replacement cycles. The majority of significant, school-wide awarded contracts call for multi-year roll-outs. Once in with a school district, the Company is likely to attain additional business with new products and services and replacements and is in an ideal position for next upgrade cycle.

Our relationship with Clayton County Public Schools, Georgia’s fifth-largest school district, is a great example of this recurring nature. Previously, in June 2018, Boxlight was awarded an $11 million contract to install its innovative Mimio classroom solution suite in approximately 3,200 classrooms, comprising of 37 elementary, 14 middle and 11 high schools. The installation was completed by the end of 2018. Subsequently, during the second quarter of 2019, we were awarded an additional services contract to provide a comprehensive program of training, professional development and ongoing support for the school district’s educators. We expect total revenues from this additional contract to exceed $1 million.

Financial Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019:

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $11.1 million, an increase of $1.4 million or 15%, compared to $9.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase is primarily attributable to the increase in sales volume of existing products, new products and additional services.

Interest expense increase by $0.3 million as a result of increased debt for Sallyport, Radium and Lind Global loans.

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.
