Management Commentary

 

VirTra CEO John Givens stated, “We closed out 2024 with strong bookings momentum and an expanding backlog despite persistent challenges in the federal funding environment. Bookings increased sequentially each quarter in 2024, demonstrating our ability to navigate the constraints of the federal government’s Continuing Resolution and the resulting delays in contract execution. While we remain encouraged by our growing backlog and international traction, the broader funding environment remains fluid, and we are actively working with policymakers to ensure law enforcement agencies can access critical training resources. Over the past several months, we have met with dozens of legislators, officials at the Department of Justice, and leadership in federal grant offices to advocate for clearer funding structures that prioritize modern training systems. As a trusted partner for Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the Secret Service, and the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC), we remain focused on expanding our role in federal law enforcement training initiatives.

 

 

“We are also advancing our military initiatives, with key milestones in the U.S. Army’s Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) program. Our final IVAS development phase was completed 42 days ahead of schedule, leading the Army to finalize testing early and forgo previously planned soldier assessments due to our system’s outstanding performance. The transition of IVAS to Anduril, one of the most capable defense technology firms with a well-established track record in Department of Defense contracting, is a significant positive development. We are actively conducting liability testing on recoil kits as part of the final prototyping phase, and remain confident in our continued involvement, strategically positioning us to effectively support future production-stage opportunities.

 

“While our sales pipeline has improved, we recognize that there is still work to be done to reach full efficiency. We are laser-focused on accelerating sales growth through a disciplined, strategic approach. This includes expanding and refining our sales organization, improving conversion efficiency, and deepening engagement across our core federal and military customer base. Additionally, we are leveraging AI to drastically reduce video editing time from days to minutes, accelerating high-quality content creation. Training content remains a key differentiator for VirTra, and our ability to rapidly expand and enhance our scenario library strengthens our position as the industry leader in immersive training.

 

“Looking ahead, we anticipate continued variability in federal funding cycles in the near term, but the long-term need for de-escalation and tactical training continues to expand. The steps we’ve taken to improve operational efficiency, deepen engagement with key federal agencies, and expand our content and scenario development capabilities provide a solid foundation as we navigate 2025.”

 

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Financial Results

 

Total revenue for the fourth quarter was $5.4 million, compared to $10.9 million in the prior year period. This decrease reflects the impact of federal budget delays and grant disbursement pauses, which slowed contract execution and order conversion. While Q4 bookings saw strong sequential growth, many orders came late in the quarter, limiting the Company’s ability to fulfill and recognize revenue within the period.

 

For the full year 2024, total revenue was $26.4 million, compared to $38.8 million (as restated) in 2023. The decline reflects the impact of budget delays, resulting in softer bookings in early 2024 and delayed order conversion throughout the year.

 

Gross profit for the fourth quarter was $3.7 million (69% of total revenue), compared to $9.2 million (84% of total revenue) in the prior year period. The decline primarily reflects lower revenue.

 

For the full year 2024, gross profit totaled $19.4 million (74% of total revenue), compared to $27.4 million (as restated) (71% of total revenue) in 2023. This improvement in gross margin reflects a shift in product mix and operational efficiencies.

 

Net operating expense for the fourth quarter was $4.2 million, a 13% increase from $3.7 million in the prior year period. The increase was driven by investments in higher-level staff to support long-term growth, expanded sales and marketing efforts, and enhancements to IT infrastructure and compliance for current and future contracts.

 

For the full year 2024, net operating expense was $17.4 million, compared to $17.0 million in 2023.

 

 

Operating (loss) income for the fourth quarter was $(0.5) million, compared to $1.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2023.

 

For the full year 2024, operating income was $2.0 million, compared to $10.4 million in 2023.

 

Net (loss) income for the fourth quarter was $(0.9) million, or $(0.08) per diluted share (based on 11.2 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding), compared to $3.5 million, or $0.32 per diluted share (based on 11.0 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding), in the fourth quarter of 2023.

 

For the full year 2024, net income was $1.4 million, or $0.12 per diluted share (based on 11.2 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding), compared to net income of $9.2 million (as restated), or $0.85 per diluted share (based on 11.0 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding), in 2023.

 

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP metric, was $(1.8) million (which included the $750,000 negative revenue adjustment), compared to $3.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2023.

 

For the full year 2024, adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP metric, was $2.9 million, compared to $12.4 million in 2023.

 

Cash and cash equivalents were $18.0 million at December 31, 2024.

 

Financial Commentary

 

CFO Alanna Boudreau stated, “We saw strong momentum in Q4 bookings, with many orders coming late in the quarter. While the timing limited revenue recognition in the period, it contributed to a growing $22.0 million backlog that positions us well for future growth revenue growth. Full-year 2024 results included a one-time revenue adjustment related to a 2021 international sale, which reduced reported 2024 revenue and increased 2023 results. Additionally, net operating expense included a $275,000 lease settlement tied to a legacy facility contract. Both adjustments were necessary to properly align financial reporting and have now been addressed. Looking ahead, we remain focused on managing costs effectively, increasing operational efficiency even further, and converting backlog into revenue as market conditions evolve. With a $22.0 million backlog, scalable operational infrastructure, and an expanding international pipeline and footprint, we are well-positioned to benefit as opportunities emerge.”

About the Presentation of Adjusted EBITDA

 

Adjusted 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:
