Q3 2023 Summary Financial Results

Net Sales

Net sales of $11.4 million represented an increase of 94.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to net sales of $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The Disinfection/Healthy Building Technologies segment increased $4.1 million, primarily due to the acquisition of Puro Lighting and LED Supply Co. on January 26, 2023.  Additionally, the Hospitality segment increased $1.4 million as that market continues to improve and our operations have been streamlined to meet the increased demand. 

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased $2.7 million, or 216.6%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, driven by increased sales in the Disinfection/Healthy Building Technologies segment and improved margins in the Hospitality segment. 

Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) Expense

SG&A costs for the three months ended September 30, 2023, increased to $4.7 million as compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase of approximately $1.4 million was driven primarily by the acquisitions of Puro Lighting and LED Supply Co., which accounted for an increase of approximately $1.9 million of the increase, but was offset by a reduction in other SG&A of approximately $0.5 million.

Other Expense

Other expense was $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, which includes $0.5 million in interest expense, offset by a $0.4 million gain on the change in fair market value of contingent consideration. 

Net Loss

The Company recorded a net loss of $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to a net loss of $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. 

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as Operating Profit (Loss), excluding Depreciation and Amortization, and excluding Stock Based Compensation and Loss on Impairment of Goodwill/Intangible Assets.  Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to a loss of $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2022.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with useful information on period-to-period performance as evaluated by management and comparison with our past financial performance. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry, as this measure generally eliminates the effects of certain items that may vary from company to company for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.

Net cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023, are approximately $1.5 million.  The Company’s secured revolving credit facility with Pinnacle Bank has approximately $1.2 million available as of September 30, 2023. Total cash and borrowing availability is approximately $2.7 million as of September 30, 2023.  Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $7.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.  Net cash used in operating activities improved in the third quarter when compared to the net cash used of $6.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

On November 16, 2023, the Company closed on an underwritten public offering with gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $6.4 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and other estimated expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering for the repayment of notes, and for general corporate purposes, including working capital.

The Company believes by implementing its strategic plan for 2024, including the continued realization of cost savings from the synergies of its acquisitions completed in 2023, that it expects to be cash flow neutral in the latter half of 2024.
