Given the risks and uncertainties, readers should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement and should recognize that the statements are predictions of future results which may not occur as anticipated. Many of the risks listed above have been, and may further be, exacerbated by the impact of economic, public health (such as a resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic) and political conditions (such as the military conflict in Ukraine) that impact consumer confidence and spending, particularly in the cinema, entertainment, and other industries in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate, and the worsening economic environment. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements and from historical results, due to the risks and uncertainties described herein, as well as others not now anticipated. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Except where required by law, the Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in factors or assumptions affecting such forward-looking statements.

Strong Global Entertainment Reports Third Quarter 2023 Operating Results
Charlotte, N.C., – November 9, 2023 – Strong Global Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE American: SGE) (the “Company” or “Strong Global Entertainment”) today announced operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.
Operational Highlights - Quarter and Year-to-Date
● | Industry upgrades continue to drive consolidated revenue growth: |
○ | Third quarter revenue grew 10% and year to date total revenue increased 36% as compared to the same periods of the prior year. | |
○ | Third quarter service revenues increased 32% and year to date service revenues more than doubled as compared to the same periods of the prior year. |
● | The Company expanded its immersive product offerings in the third quarter with the announcement of a new Seismos flooring product line and securing first commercial installation. | |
● | Announced agreement to produce new crime drama series, Endangered, in South Africa. | |
● | Completed first two acquisitions following initial public offering (the “IPO”): |
○ | Unbounded Media Corporation (“Unbounded”), completed in third quarter, which adds production service capabilities to Strong Studios group; and | |
○ | Innovative Cinema Solutions (“ICS”), completed subsequent to close of third quarter, adding scale to Strong Technical Services group. |
Mark Roberson, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We continued to execute on our strategic growth initiatives, growing organically while also adding scale with the first two acquisitions following our IPO. Our business continues to strengthen as demand for our products and services increases, and the recent box office success of several summer releases, coupled with more and more people returning to theaters, is a demonstration of the demand for laser projection and additional enhancements that optimize the viewing experience.”
Mr. Roberson continued, “We closed two acquisitions over the past two months, adding Unbounded in September and ICS just this week. These acquisitions are initial steps in a broader growth strategy. We are excited to have both groups join the team as we continue to expand Strong Global Entertainment.”
Kyle Cerminara, Chairman of the Board, commented, “We are very excited to see Strong Global Entertainment implementing its growth plans. We believe that we have a strategy in place and a long-term view of the business that will drive meaningful growth and value for our shareholders.”
Third Quarter 2023 Financial Review (Compared to Third Quarter 2022)
● | Revenue grew 10.3% to $10.9 million compared to $9.9 million in the third quarter of 2022, as demand from the Company’s cinema customers continued to strengthen. In addition, Strong Global Entertainment recognized revenue from its first Seismos flooring product line during the quarter. The Company has been increasing the scope of its services and adding resources to better support its customers and to increase market share in cinema services. Revenue from installation services increased 68% for the quarter and screen sales increased 16%. |
Strong Global Entertainment, Inc. – Fiscal Year 2023 Third Quarter 2023 Results | Page 1 to7 |
● | Gross profit increased to $2.8 million, or 25.8% of revenues, compared to $2.4 million, or 23.9% of revenue in the third quarter of 2022. Gross profit from service revenue increased to 21.8% of revenue for the third quarter of 2023 compared to 10.0% of revenues for the third quarter of 2022. | |
● | Income from operations was $0.2 million compared to $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2022, as increased gross profit was offset by increased selling, general and administrative expenses, including costs of operating as a stand-alone public company. | |
● | Net income was breakeven, as compared to $0.7 million or $0.13 per basic and diluted share in the prior year. The reduction in net income was primarily due to increased selling, general and administrative costs offsetting improved gross margins. | |
● | Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (“EBITDA”) decreased to $0.5 million as compared to $0.7 million in the prior year, primarily as a result of increased selling, general and administrative expenses in the quarter as the Company continues to execute on its acquisition strategy. |

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
Strong Global Entertainment, Inc. prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company discloses information regarding Adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EBITDA”), which differs from the commonly used EBITDA (“EBITDA”). Adjusted EBITDA both adjusts net income (loss) to exclude income taxes, interest, and depreciation and amortization, and excludes share-based compensation, impairment charges, severance, foreign currency transaction gains (losses), transactional gains and expenses, gains on insurance recoveries, and other cash and non-cash charges and gains.
Strong Global Entertainment, Inc. – Fiscal Year 2023 Third Quarter 2023 Results | Page 2 to7 |
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of performance defined in accordance with GAAP. However, Adjusted EBITDA is used internally in planning and evaluating the Company’s operating performance. Accordingly, management believes that disclosure of these metrics offers investors, bankers and other stakeholders an additional view of the Company’s operations that, when coupled with the GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s financial results.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or to net cash from operating activities as measures of operating results or liquidity. The Company’s calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, and the measures exclude financial information that some may consider important in evaluating the Company’s performance.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (i) they do not reflect the Company’s cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments, (ii) they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company’s working capital needs, (iii) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on the Company’s debt, (iv) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements, (v) they do not adjust for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in the Company’s statements of cash flows, (vi) they do not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters management considers not to be indicative of the Company’s ongoing operations, and (vii) other companies in the Company’s industry may calculate these measures differently than the Company does, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
Management believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period by isolating the effects of some items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance or that vary widely among similar companies. These potential differences may be caused by variations in capital structures (affecting interest expense), tax positions (such as the impact on periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates or net operating losses) and the age and book depreciation of facilities and equipment (affecting relative depreciation expense). The Company also presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because (i) management believes these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the Company’s industry, (ii) management believes investors will find these measures useful in assessing the Company’s ability to service or incur indebtedness, and (iii) management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA internally as benchmarks to evaluate the Company’s operating performance or compare the Company’s performance to that of its competitors.
