Management Commentary
“We completed another record quarter with $47.7 million in customer orders, $33.4 million in revenues and $1.6 million in Adjusted EBITDA,” commented Michael Pope, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
“Our triple digit revenue increase over the same quarter last year is a testament to our winning expansion strategy through both organic growth and strategic acquisitions.
“We continue to benefit from unprecedented market expansion, particularly in the education sector as schools return to in-class learning and are utilizing increased technology budgets, supported by substantial government funding programs.
“Given our current order volume and growing sales pipeline, we are optimistic on the second quarter and expect to report revenue of $39 million and at least $1 million in Adjusted EBITDA.”
Financial Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $33.4 million as compared to $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, resulting in a 484% increase due primarily to the acquisition of Sahara in September 2020.
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $8.6 million as compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The gross profit margin for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was 25.6%, and adjusted for the net effect of acquisition-related purchase accounting, the margin was 28.0%, as compared to the 27.9% gross margin, as adjusted, reported for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Gross margins have been adversely impacted by approximately four percentage points due to increased freight and customs costs caused by supply chain challenges associated with the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $10.6 million as compared to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase primarily resulted from additional overhead costs associated with the acquired Sahara operations in September 2020.
Other income (expense) for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was net expense of $(3.1) million, as compared to net other income of $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in other expense was due to $0.6 million of increased interest expense associated with increased borrowings, $1.9 million of losses recognized on the settlement of certain debt obligations that were exchanged for common shares, fewer gains were recognized on the settlement of accounts payable which were $1.1 million lower year on year, and $0.3 million of additional losses that were recognized in 2021 upon the remeasurement of certain derivative liabilities associated with common stock warrants.
The Company reported a net loss of $(5.2) million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to a net loss of $(2.0) million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
The net loss attributable to common shareholders was $(5.5) million and $(2.0) million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, after deducting fixed dividends to Series B preferred shareholders.
Total comprehensive loss was $(5.4) million and $(2.1) million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, reflecting the effect of cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments on consolidation, with the net effect in the quarter of $(0.3) million and $(0.1) million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
The EPS loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $(0.09) per basic and diluted share, compared to $(0.16) per basic and diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
The EBITDA loss for the three months ending March 31, 2021 was $(2.4) million, as compared to $(1.3) million EBITDA loss for the three months ending March 31, 2020.
Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $1.6 million, as compared to a loss of $(0.7) million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Adjustments to EBITDA include stock-based compensation expense, gains/losses recognized upon the settlement of certain debt instruments, gains/losses from the remeasurement of derivative liabilities, and the effects of purchase accounting adjustments in connection with acquisitions.
At March 31, 2021, Boxlight had $10.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, $21.8 million in working capital, $139.7 million in total assets, $20.6 debt, $47.4 million in stockholders’ equity, 56.8 million common shares issued and outstanding, and 3.1 million preferred shares issued and outstanding.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement Boxlight’s financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, Boxlight provides EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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 and Adjusted EBITDA, 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, the change in fair value of derivative liabilities, purchase accounting impact of inventory markup, and non- cash losses associated with debt settlement. 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.
