Oblong Announces Financial Results for Second Quarter 2022
August 9, 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 second quarter ending June 30, 2022.
“Our second quarter results were consistent with prior guidance related to ongoing shifts in hybrid work models and macro trends in facility and IT spending. We believe those trends will gradually move toward Oblong’s vision of creating greater situational awareness, collaboration and data interaction through Mezzanine™. We also remain focused on exploring strategic alternatives, including a potential sale or merger, to maximize value for our shareholders,” commented Pete Holst, President and CEO of Oblong.
•As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $5.1 million of cash and no debt.
•Total revenue was $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2022 versus $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2021.
•Net loss of $9.0 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to a net loss of $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2021. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges on goodwill and other assets of $6.4 million.
•Adjusted EBITDA (“AEBITDA”) loss of $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to an AEBITDA loss of $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2021. 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 loss.
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 and expense, impairment charges, casualty loss, 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 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 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.
