Q2 2023 Summary Financial Results

Net Sales

Net sales of $10.8 million represented an increase of $4.9 million, or 83.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to net sales of $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The Disinfection/Healthy Building Technologies segment increased $4.0 million, primarily due to the acquisition of Puro Lighting and LED Supply Co. on January 26, 2023. Additionally, the Hospitality segment increased $0.9 million as that market is steadily improving.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased $1.1 million, or 84.8%, to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, driven by increased sales in the Disinfection/Healthy Building Technologies segment and improved margins in the Hospitality segment.

Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) Expense

SG&A costs for the three months ended June 30, 2023, increased to $4.9 million as compared to $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase of approximately $0.9 million was driven primarily by the acquisitions of Puro Lighting and LED Supply Co., which accounted for an increase of approximately $1.7 million, but was offset by a reduction in other SG&A of approximately $0.7 million and a reduction in corporate expenses.

Other Expense

Other expense was $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, which includes $0.5 million in interest expense, offset by a $0.2 million gain on the change in fair market value of contingent consideration. This compares to other expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Net Loss

The Company recorded a net loss of $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to a net loss of $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in net loss of $0.1 million was mainly due to the increase in costs related to the acquisitions of Puro Lighting and LED Supply Co., offset by improved profitability in the Hospitality segment.

Total cash and equivalents as of June 30, 2023 were $3.3 million, compared to $2.7 million as of June 30, 2022.
