Oblong, Inc. (Nasdaq: OBLG) (“Oblong” or the “Company”), the award-winning maker of multi-stream collaboration solutions, today reported financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2022.

“Our results in the first quarter are emblematic of larger themes cascading throughout the conventional workplace. IT leaders and facility planners are gradually re-opening traditional offices throughout the world while carefully measuring how and when employees choose to use those spaces. As the notion of ‘hybrid work’ becomes standardized, we believe interest in our products will gain more traction as companies (re)design purpose driven workspaces that draw current and prospective employees rather than relying on the status quo of pre-Covid laborious commutes and cubicles. While the market opportunity for Mezzanine™ percolates, we’ve also undertaken a detailed strategic review process to create optionality and opportunities for Oblong moving forward. This process has been underway throughout the first quarter and we plan to identify and communicate an optimal direction that builds shareholder value in both the near and long term,” commented Pete Holst, President and CEO of Oblong.

  • As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $6.6 million of cash and no debt.
  • Total revenue was $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2022 versus $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2021.
  • Net loss of $4.5 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to a net loss of $3.4 million for the first quarter of 2021. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge on goodwill of $1.1 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA (“AEBITDA”) loss of $2.5 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to an AEBITDA loss of $2.4 million for the first quarter of 2021. AEBITDA loss is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Non-GAAP Financial Information” below for additional information regarding this non-GAAP financial measure, and “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation” for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to net loss.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Adjusted EBITDA (“AEBITDA”) loss, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net loss before depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and expense, impairment charges, gain on extinguishment of debt, severance, income tax expense, and interest and other (income) expense, net. AEBITDA loss is not intended to replace operating loss, net loss, cash flow or other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Rather, AEBITDA loss is an important measure used by management to assess the operating performance of the Company and to compare such performance between periods. AEBITDA loss as defined here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in accounting policies. Therefore, AEBITDA loss should be considered in conjunction with net loss and other performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as operating loss or cash flow used in operating activities, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures, such as net loss, operating loss or any other GAAP measure of liquidity or financial performance. A GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation of net loss to AEBITDA loss is shown under “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation” later in this release.
