Oblong Announces Financial Results for Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021


Revenue related to our Mezzanine products increased 24% sequentially from Q3 to Q4 2021 driven by a significant order from a global Aerospace and Defense Company


March 29, 2022 -- (BUSINESS WIRE) Oblong, Inc. (Nasdaq: OBLG) (“Oblong” or the “Company”), the award-winning maker of multi-stream collaboration solutions, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ending December 31, 2021.

The Company’s total revenue increased 10% sequentially to $2.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 versus $1.8 million for the third quarter of 2021.

Revenue related to our Mezzanine™ collaboration suite of products increased 24% sequentially to $1.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 versus $0.8 million for the third quarter of 2021.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $9.0 million of cash and no debt.

“While the global pandemic has had a material effect on demand for our products over the last two years, it appears many of our longtime customers are now gradually re-opening their office environments and, in parallel, re-engaging in commercial discussions to upgrade their collaboration spaces. While Q4 revenue was driven largely by a full suite sale to one of our global clients, we believe their scale of deployment, and use case in combination with AR/VR systems, will become increasingly relevant in the future. Although the ongoing global effects of COVID-19 remain uncertain, workplaces are opening and being re-designed with next generation collaboration technologies and hybrid work at the forefront. It’s been a challenging few years but, we believe there is now a light at the end of this long tunnel as we all adapt to a new way of working,” commented Pete Holst, President and CEO of Oblong.

Net loss of $2.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to net income of $1.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a non-cash gain on extinguishment of debt of $3.1 million.

Adjusted EBITDA (“AEBITDA”) loss of $2.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to an AEBITDA loss of $0.4 million for the fourth 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” for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to net income (loss).

The Company’s total revenue was $2.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 versus $3.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2020.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Adjusted EBITDA (“AEBITDA”) loss, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income (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 income (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 income (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 income (loss), operating loss or any other GAAP measure of liquidity or financial performance. A GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation of net income (loss) to AEBITDA loss is shown under “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation” later in this release.
