Sales of Mezzanine Products Increase 202%
Sequentially to $1.1 Million
Gross Margin Improves Sequentially from 40%
to 51%
Oblong, Inc. (NYSE American: OBLG) ("Oblong" or the "Company"),
the award-winning maker of multi-stream collaboration solutions,
today announced financial results for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2020.
Financial Highlights
- Revenue of $3.3 million for the third quarter of 2020, compared
to $2.4 million for the third quarter of 2019 and compared
sequentially to $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2020.
- Gross profit margin of 51% for the third quarter of 2020,
compared to 33% for the third quarter of 2019 and compared
sequentially to 40% in the second quarter of 2020.
- Net loss of $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2020,
compared to a net loss of $0.6 million for the third quarter of
2019 and compared sequentially to a net loss of $3.4 million in the
second quarter of 2020.
- Adjusted EBITDA (“AEBITDA”) loss of $1.0 million for the third
quarter of 2020, compared to an AEBITDA loss of $0.1 million for
the third quarter of 2019 and compared sequentially to an AEBITDA
loss of $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2020. 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”
later in this release for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP
financial measure to net loss.
- Cash balance of $2.7 million as of September 30, 2020.
- Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of 2020, in October
2020, the Company: (i) completed a private placement of common
stock for gross proceeds of $3.0 million, and (ii) completed an
agreement with Silicon Valley Bank ("SVB") satisfying all
outstanding obligations under the Loan Agreement with SVB, totaling
$5.6 million, in exchange for a one-time cash payment of $2.5
million.
“Our new Mezzanine™ pricing structure, which was implemented at
the end of our second quarter, has been a catalyst to more than a
three-fold sequential increase in Mezzanine product sales, and an
11% sequential improvement in gross margin, demonstrating strong
demand and increasing operating leverage in the business,”
commented Peter Holst, Chairman and CEO of Oblong. “We are
targeting sequential growth in Mezzanine revenue in the fourth
quarter, setting the stage for a strong 2021 as companies begin to
implement a hybrid in-office/remote approach to working. The strong
improvement in our gross margin, which includes a 63% gross margin
specific to Mezzanine products, is encouraging, positioning us for
sequential improvements in operating leverage and AEBITDA, as we
continue to grow our revenue.”
“Further, we reduced our AEBITDA loss by 48% on a sequential
basis, driven by the growth in revenue, expanded gross margins and
the elimination of 27% of our general and administrative costs,”
continued Holst. “Additionally, we continue to see our pipeline
grow and are encouraged by the level of new business opportunities.
We expect continued topline growth as we successfully convert our
growing pipeline into revenue.”
“Oblong continues to innovate, bolstering its position as a
collaboration leader,” added Holst. “We are breaking new ground in
both user interaction and interface design, applying our
human-centric design expertise and world-class engineering team to
tackle the collaboration needs of a new and more digitally
interactive workspace. This involves continually enhancing our
products with updated security and remote accessibility features,
while simultaneously developing new cloud-based offerings to extend
our Mezzanine™ platform beyond the physical workspace to support
remote participants. We anticipate launching new solutions and
feature sets in early 2021.”
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, impairment charges, severance, merger
expenses and interest and other 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 provided by (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.
