Management Commentary“Our
strong performance in 2022 was the result of continued execution
against our business strategy as we generated record revenue and
bookings and delivered another period of solid profitability,” said
Bob Ferris, chairman and co-CEO of VirTra. “During the year, we
made aggressive investments to expand the breadth and effectiveness
of our training offerings, including launching VirTra Volumetric
Video, a breakthrough technology that has the potential to provide
a step-function change in training content. Operationally, we
successfully centralized and expanded our Arizona headquarters,
opened a new facility in Orlando to support our military growth
opportunities, as well as implemented a new ERP system to prepare
for greater scale with an eye to improve efficiencies.”
John Givens, co-CEO of VirTra added: “Looking
ahead, our operational and technological advancements in 2022 have
bolstered our competitive positioning and placed us on a solid
growth trajectory for the years ahead. The growing demand and
constructive funding environment for VirTra’s innovative trainings
solutions gives us confidence in our ability to capitalize on the
robust pipeline of opportunities in both the law enforcement and
military markets.”
Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial
ResultsTotal revenue was $8.7 million, compared to $8.6
million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The slight increase in
revenue was the result of increases in STEP sales, simulator sales,
accessories, curriculum and training, and recurring extended
warranty revenue, driven by the law enforcement market.
Gross profit was $5.3 million, an improvement
compared to $2.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Gross
profit margin, defined as total revenue less cost of sales, was
61.4%, an improvement compared to 32.7% in the fourth quarter of
2021. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to lower cost
of goods sold and the favorable product mix of systems, accessories
and services sold in the quarter.
Net operating expense was $3.4 million, compared
to $3.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in net
operating expenses was due to increased sales and marketing spend
from increased participation in industry trade shows, as well as
increases in R&D expenses and an increase in one-time costs
related to facility moves.
Operating income (loss) totaled $1.9 million,
compared to $(0.2) million in operating income the fourth quarter
of 2021.
Net income totaled $1.4 million, or $0.13 per
diluted share (based on 10.9 million weighted average diluted
shares outstanding), compared to net income of $13,000, or $0.00
per diluted share (based on 10.1 million weighted average diluted
shares outstanding), in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP metric, totaled $1.7
million, compared to $0.5 million in the fourth quarter of
2021.
Full Year 2022 Financial
ResultsTotal revenue increased 16% to $28.3 million from
$24.4 million in 2021. The increase in revenue was the result of
increases in STEP sales, simulator sales, accessories, curriculum
and training, and recurring extended warranty revenue in 2022.
Gross profit was $16.3 million, compared to
$11.4 million in 2021, representing an increase of 43%. Gross
profit margin, defined as total revenue less cost of sales, was
57.4%, compared to 46.7% for the fiscal year of 2021. The increase
in gross profit was primarily due to the increase in simulator
system sales and recurring STEP revenue that helped to increase
revenue while decreasing cost of goods sold.
Net operating expense was $13.7 million,
compared to $10.0 million for the fiscal year of 2021. The increase
was the result of increases research and development expenses and
general and administrative expenses. General and administrative
expense increases were driven by an increase in marketing expenses
associated with attendance at tradeshows, which began to open back
up in 2022 as well as costs related to the moving of facilities and
opening the new facility in Orlando.
Operating income increased 78% to $2.6 million,
compared to $1.5 million in 2021.
Net income totaled $2.0 million, or $0.18 per
basic and diluted share (based on 10.9 million weighted average
basic shares and 10.9 million weighted average diluted shares
outstanding), compared to net income of $2.5 million, or $0.26 per
basic and $0.25 per diluted share (based on 9.7 million weighted
average basic and $10.1 million diluted shares outstanding) in
2021. The decrease in net income includes a $1.3 million impact
from PPP loan forgiveness in 2021. Without the PPP forgiveness in
2021, net income in 2022 would have increased 60% year-over-year
from 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP metric, totaled $3.6
million, compared to $2.1 million in 2021.
Financial Commentary“In 2022,
VirTra grew revenue for the 17th consecutive year on its way to
expanding gross profit margins over 57% and improving operating
income by over $1 million,” added CFO Alanna Boudreau “The
Company’s ability to grow profitability amidst operational
transformations accentuates the strength of our business model and
VirTra’s growing role in the law enforcement and military simulator
markets. We rounded out the year with a solid bottom line
performance, recording operating income of $1.9 million and net
income of $1.4 million in the fourth quarter. Entering 2023, we
have a meaningful set of opportunities, as we exited 2022 with
record bookings of $33.0 million and a record backlog of $27.7
million.”

About the Presentation of Adjusted
EBITDAAdjusted earnings before interest, income taxes,
depreciation, and amortization and before other non-operating costs
and income (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is a non-GAAP financial measure.
Adjusted EBITDA also includes non-cash stock option expense and
other than temporary impairment loss on investments. Other
companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently. VirTra
calculates its Adjusted EBITDA to eliminate the impact of certain
items it does not consider to be indicative of its performance and
its ongoing operations. Adjusted EBITDA is presented herein because
management believes the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides
useful information to VirTra’s investors regarding VirTra’s
financial condition and results of operations and because Adjusted
EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and
other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in VirTra’s
industry, several of which present a form of Adjusted EBITDA when
reporting their results. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an
analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for analysis of VirTra’s results as reported under
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an
alternative for net income, cash flows from operating activities
and other consolidated income or cash flows statement data prepared
in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of profitability or
liquidity. A reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA is
provided in the following tables:
