Delivers Revenue of $413.6 Million and Successfully Completes Transformational Merger Transaction
SEATTLE, March 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Mynd.ai, Inc. (the "Company" or "Mynd") (NYSE American: MYND) today announced financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
- Revenue of $413.6 million for the full year, compared to $584.6 million in the prior year with the decrease primarily driven by the normalization of the education market returning to pre-pandemic levels
- Gross Margin improved 30 basis points versus 2022 to 24.9%, largely due to lower materials and freight costs
- Cash flow from operations improvement of $3.0 million compared to 2022
- Cash balance at year end was $91.8 million compared to $29.3 million at year end 2022
- Adjusted EBITDA1 loss of $6.9 million compared to profit of $12.8 million in 2022, primarily driven by lower sales volumes
"We are incredibly pleased with the progress our team made during 2023. We successfully completed our merger transaction, we listed our American Depositary Shares on the NYSE American, and we received $65 million in proceeds from the issuance of a secured convertible note, that will fund our continued growth," said Vin Riera, Chief Executive Officer. "We believe Mynd is exceptionally well positioned to capitalize on market trends and continue to increase market share as the leader in interactive flat panel displays ("IFPDs") within the global education market, and ultimately deliver products and solutions to help teachers be their best and drive successful education outcomes for students."
While the merger transaction marked a pivotal moment in the evolution of the Company, our dedicated team worked tirelessly throughout 2023 to advance our business and deliver positive outcomes for our customers. Our Promethean brand has been named the global leader in IFPDs for education in the fourth quarter of 2023, according to Futuresource Consulting's Q4 2023 report on the global IFPD market. During 2023, we captured 17.4% of the K-12 (primary and secondary) IFPD volume market share globally.2 In Q4 2023 alone, we were able to capture 21.1% of the global market share and we continue to be the market leading brand in the United States, United Kingdom and Ireland, and Germany.
Our global leadership in the global K-12 market positions us well to continue to grow both our hardware and software business. Over the course of 2024, we plan to continue to drive the evolution and growth of the software business, with enhancements to our core offerings and empowering our sales team to drive engagement with customers. We continue to invest in R&D to maintain our leadership both at the high-end of the market and foster deeper penetration of the broader, lower-price market.
"We believe that Mynd is in an excellent financial position coming out of 2023 with a strong liquidity profile that will allow us to focus on driving sustainable top-line growth and investments in future growth," commented Arthur Giterman, Chief Financial Officer. "The $65 million convertible note issued in conjunction with the merger will allow us to continue to invest in our products and strategic initiatives to bolster both our hardware and software product offerings for our customers."
1 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined as net income (loss), adjusted for loss from discontinued operations, interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, and changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, as well as, non-cash, non-operating expenses such as stock-based compensation; and, one-time, unplanned and/or infrequent events we believe are outside the ordinary course of our continuing operations, including acquisition-related costs, restructuring costs, litigation costs, and gain on forgiveness of debt.
2 Excluding China, according to Futuresource Consulting's Q4 report of the global IFPD market.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains "forward-looking statements," as defined by federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements reflect Mynd's current expectations and projections about future events at the time, and thus involve uncertainty and risk. The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "will," "could," "would," "should," "may," "plan," "estimate," "intend," "predict," "potential," "continue," "optimistic," and the negatives of these words and other similar expressions generally identify forward looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described under the section entitled "Risk Factors" in Mynd''s Annual Report on Form 20-F, filed with the SEC on March 27, 2024, as such factors may be updated from time to time in Mynd's periodic filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this release and in Mynd's filings with the SEC. While forward-looking statements reflect Mynd's good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. Mynd disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, data or methods, future events or other changes after the date of this press release, except as required by applicable law. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based only on information currently available to Mynd (or to third parties making the forward-looking statements).
Discussion of non-GAAP Financial Measures
We believe that providing the non-GAAP ("Generally Accepted Accounting Principles") information to investors, in addition to the GAAP presentation, allows investors to view the financial results in the way management views the operating results. We further believe that providing this information allows investors not only to better understand our financial performance, but more importantly, to evaluate the efficacy of the methodology and information used by management to evaluate and measure such performance. The non-GAAP information included in this press release should not be considered superior to, or a substitute for, financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
We utilize a number of different financial measures, both GAAP and non-GAAP, in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of the business, for making operating decisions and for forecasting and planning for future periods. Our annual financial plan is prepared both on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, and the non-GAAP annual financial plan is approved by our board of directors. Continuous budgeting and forecasting for revenue and expenses are conducted on a consistent non-GAAP basis, in addition to GAAP, and actual results on a non-GAAP basis are assessed against the non-GAAP annual financial plan. In addition, and as a consequence of the importance of these measures in managing the business, we use non-GAAP measures and results in the evaluation process to establish management's compensation. For example, our annual bonus program payments are based in part upon the achievement of consolidated revenue and Adjusted EBITDA targets.
